Pei Qian’s persuasion was more or less effective. When he left the Fourth Prince exhausted, he had convinced him for the time being.

After he left the ministry, he rushed back to look for Lu Ze. Since he was about to leave the northern region, it was better to discuss some things with him in advance.

However, to Pei Qian’s surprise, although he came back in a hurry, there was no one there.

Lu Ze wasn’t in the residence.

Lin Suisui was still at the medical center.

After all, such a bad incident had just happened. Many patients who had been discovered to have been drugged were still waiting to be dealt with in the medical center!

Thinking that Lu Ze had probably gone to pick up Lin Suisui, Pei Qian didn’t delay any longer. He turned around and rode towards the medical center.

“No. He sent someone to tell me that he would pick me up later, but he hasn’t come yet.”

However, to Pei Qian’s surprise, although he saw Lin Suisui in the medical center, there was still no news of Lu Ze.

After Lin Suisui finished dealing with her patients, she handed the rest of the cleaning up to the doctor waiting at the side before walking out of the ward with Pei Qian.

“How’s the current situation?”

As Pei Qian looked at the three patients living in the ward, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.

This room alone had three patients who had been put under the tame head technique. What about the others who hadn’t been checked yet?

Wouldn’t there be even more?!

How much trouble did those bastards from Siam want to cause before they gave it a rest?!

“It’s alright. We discovered it early on, we already have the situation under control.”

Lin Suisui deliberated for a moment before she gave a factual answer.

“However, there are still many people affected by the tame head technique. It will definitely take some time for them to recover. Fortunately, the chaos in Cloud Mountain City has been suppressed for the time being. Overall, the situation is still manageable.”

Pei Qian nodded. This was indeed good news.

Actually, now that he thought about the development after coming to Cloud Mountain City, he felt a chill run down his spine.

If they had not discovered that the guards at the border were addicted to the hemp leaves and that the barbarians in the northern region were having a rebellion,

The subsequent ritual chaos definitely wouldn’t have been discovered either.

At that time, if the northern barbarians really cooperated with these people from Cloud Mountain City, the consequences…

“I heard that you’re going back to the capital soon?”

After Lin Suisui washed her hands, she took the tea soup from Bai Guo and took a sip before thinking of another piece of news she had just received from Lu Ze.

“Well, if there are no accidents, I’ll leave in about five days.”

Pei Qian told Lin Suisui his arrangements. “As for the next time we see each other, we’ll have to wait for you guys to return to the capital.”

“That day isn’t that far away.”

Lin Suisui smiled at Pei Qian. Her words lessened many of the worries before parting and made Pei Qian laugh.

“Yes, it definitely isn’t that far away.”

“What isn’t that far away?”

As soon as Pei Qian finished speaking, Lu Ze asked in confusion.

As the man slowly walked in from outside, he looked no different from usual, but the two people in the room were more sensitive to the smell of blood. Even though it was very faint, Lin Suisui still smelled it.

Her expression changed as she looked at Lu Ze worriedly. “Are you injured?”

“No, it’s someone else’s blood.”

Lu Ze was stunned and looked down at the clothes he had just changed into. When he looked up at Lin Suisui again, he revealed a helpless look. As he explained to Lin Suisui to reassure her, he turned to look at Pei Qian.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m looking for you!” Pei Qian didn’t ignore the scrutiny and vigilance in Lu Ze’s eyes. He looked at him angrily as he replied, “I’m going back to the city soon. There are some things I have to discuss with you first.

When I returned to the residence, they said that you weren’t around. I thought that you would probably come looking for Madam Liu, but when I came over to ask Madam Liu, she didn’t know your whereabouts either!

We were just talking when you came back!”

Even after hearing Pei Qian’s explanation, Lu Ze’s expression didn’t improve.

He raised his eyebrows at Pei Qian. “If you want to go back to the capital, just go back. There isn’t anything to discuss between us.”

“Enough! I’m really not here to poach people. I have something to discuss. Let’s go. Let’s talk before you guys go back!”

Pei Qian couldn’t be bothered to argue with Lu Ze. He pulled him to the table at the side and said, “Let me make it clear to you. There will definitely be trouble when I return to the capital this time!

According to our previous arrangements, the Fourth Prince was pushed out by you!

If I’m not mistaken, there must be a bunch of traps waiting for me in the capital! My good aunt must be very anxious now!

His marriage with the daughter of the Lin family would probably be brought forward.

With that old fox from the Lin family helping him plan, the Third Prince probably wouldn’t be able to gain much of an advantage in the short term!

However, you have to be careful. The Third Prince definitely won’t ignore the northern region and will probably send someone to occupy the vacant county governor position.”

Pei Qian spoke very quickly, as if he wouldn’t have a chance to speak later if he didn’t finish speaking now.

“When I go back, I’ll help you control the situation on both sides. The balance can definitely be maintained for the time being!

But you have to think of a way. No matter what, you can’t stay outside without a proper status!

“You’re too far from the capital. If someone in the capital becomes desperate and does something, even if you have troops, it won’t be easy for you to fight your way back from the northern region!”

Pei Qian’s persuasion finally received a response from Lu Ze. However, Lu Ze’s next words exasperated Pei Qian.

“I’m going to the southern border.”

Lu Ze turned to look at Pei Qian and said, “For the time being, you can’t return to the capital.”

“What the hell?” Pei Qian was stunned. For a moment, he couldn’t recover from his shock. Sending the Fourth Prince back to the capital was the King’s decree. How could it be changed at this point?

“I’m escorting the Fourth Prince back to the capital because of the King’s instructions! We’re about to leave, yet you tell me that I can’t go back for the time being…

What do you mean by that?”

“You’ll know in a while.” As Lu Ze looked at Pei Qian, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face..
