The regent of the Tianxia Kingdom, who had control over a huge army and ruled over a powerful kingdom, was never close to women. One day, he was poisoned again and nearly died.

While everyone worried that he had no successors, a kid who looked exactly like he was brought to the palace gate.

Only then did they recall that, five years ago, when the regent was poisoned for the first time, the Yu family's eldest daughter was kidnapped and brought to him for auspicious reasons.

Since they shared similar fates, she did everything she could to help rid him of the poison. However, on the day he awakened, the royal family plotted against her, and she disappeared mysteriously.

The regent's eyes became dim when he saw the kid. "Did your mother finally decide she couldn't forget about me and ask you to return in her stead?"

The kid clenched his jaws. "No! The young prince of Xichu will marry the eldest princess, who is my mother, in a few days. My mother asked me to come and check if you're still alive. She doesn't want you to die on the day she gets married. It's bad luck."

After he finished his sentence, the regent picked him up and walked out with big strides.

"Don't worry. I won't die on your mother's wedding day. After all... I've got a wedding to crash."

"From today onward, I'll issue an order. No one's allowed to leave the city, let alone go north," Shen Si said sternly.

Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhi exchanged a look when they heard this. Complicated emotions could be seen in their eyes.

Closing the city gates meant that whether Xinan lived or died, they were on their own. Although this would stop the outbreak of the plague, it also stopped people from escaping north.

Shen Si hated the imperial court, but he was righteous and did not want to involve innocent people.

At this moment, Shen Hezhi launched into a coughing fit. In order not to waste time, he had been enduring his discomfort the entire journey back. At this time, he finally could no longer endure it.

Several worried voices called out at the same time.

"I, I'm fine…" Shen Hezhi said, shaking his head and panting slightly.
