Ji Yuan took advantage of the moment when those around him weren't paying attention to deliver the message to a peasant family.
Who would have thought that this family was affiliated with Prince Lu?
During times of war, it's not uncommon for commoners to flee with their young and old to avoid disaster. Even if this woman were caught, she could lie her way out.
Watching the woman go to deliver the message, Ji Yuan finally let out a long breath of relief. He had to prepare for both outcomes; in his heart, the current Emperor was no match for Prince Lu.
Prince Lu had said that the Emperor would have no heirs, so who would inherit the throne? Prince Lu left a slim chance for a comeback.
This was also to protect his own life and future.
"Mr. Ji, where have you been?"
Ji Yuan had just returned to camp when his military leader immediately approached him.
Seeing the military leader's tense demeanor, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart: "What's happened?"
