“Calm down. This is not the place to fight.”

Shen Yan shook his head. He was angry, even more so than Qi Gu. But so what? It was not time to be impulsive.

Prince Lei Ting did not take their anger to heart. He wore a mocking smile on his lips.

“This is the border military camp. Why can’t I come? It’s only right of me to come here. But the 18 Stockaded Villages have no business here. Why are you here?”

Only the heavens knew how furious he was when he heard that Shen Yan and Qi Gu had gone to find Qian Jiyun!

He rushed over and forced his way into the military camp, ignoring the soldiers guarding outside.

Fortunately, Qian Jiyun had not handed the prescription to them. Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain!

“General, I have stopped—”

A deputy general rushed in panting, his armor still stained with mud. He looked at Qian Jiyun apologetically.

He had stopped Prince Lei Ting, but the latter was too much of a tyrant. Prince Lei Ting had flung him far away and barged his way in. He was infuriated!

“Leave.” Qian Jiyun raised his hand to interrupt the deputy general.

“I’ll take my leave.”

The deputy general cupped his fists and greeted the people in the tent. He glared at Prince Lei Ting before turning around and leaving.

“Hmph!” Prince Lei Ting glanced at the tent curtain still swaying. He swung his arm and looked at Qian Jiyun.

“Prince Zhan Yun, the prescription for treating the epidemic disease is a royal family secret. It cannot be leaked. Do you understand?”

He was unaware that Qian Jiyun was the one who disseminated the prescription. Given his tyrannical personality, he had already regarded the prescription as his.

“Excuse me. May I ask if this is your view or the emperor’s?” Qian Jiyun asked with a faint smile.

Everyone wanted to make use of the 18 Stockaded Villages for their own goals, and he was no exception. He also hoped to see the emperor take over the 18 Stockaded Villages.

However, there was an exception here—Prince Lei Ting must not be the one to take over.

His ambitions were too high. The country would not be able to survive if he obtained this immense power.

“Prince Lei Ting, can you represent the emperor?”

“You…” Prince Lei Ting questioned Qian Jiyun angrily, “How dare you disobey me?”

You’re merely a prince of the second rank. How dare you go against me when I’m a member of the royal family? How impudent!

“This means Prince Lei Ting can’t represent the emperor, right?” Qian Jiyun asked.

Prince Lei Ting took a deep breath. He really wanted to yell at Qian Jiyun. Which member of the royal family could represent the emperor? There was no one except the crown prince.

However, their emperor, who was afraid of death, was unwilling to appoint a crown prince despite his hair already turning gray with age.

Since the emperor had yet to appoint a crown prince, all the royal family members had their eyes on the position and wanted to compete for it.

“Prince Zhan Yun, do you know what will happen if you offend me?” he asked Qian Jiyun in a low voice.

Qian Jiyun chuckled.

He really did not care about Prince Lei Ting. Given how paranoid the emperor was, he would kill Prince Lei Ting if he knew what he had been doing here!

“Prince Lei Ting, you…”

“Prince Zhan Yun, since it is inconvenient for you, we have wasted our time. Goodbye!”
