Chapter 50 Nausea and morning sickness
"Where are you going?"
Pei Zhouwu just followed Liu Fuying's question and didn't think much about it.
Of course I am curious.
After all, her family members were gone, and she had already left Prince Qi's Mansion. She had also made it clear that she had nowhere to go. If that was the case, where could she be going when she said she would be gone for two or three days?
"She is a neighbor of mine. She is a little sister who grew up with me."
Liu Fuying pretended to be relaxed, hiding his imperceptible guilt.
"I went back to look for her after I left Prince Qi's Mansion. I wanted to say goodbye to her, but she said she was getting married and hoped I could attend her wedding. She didn't have any other brothers or sisters, so I was her closest friend. I also wanted to help, including the pre-wedding arrangements, which would probably take two or three days."
"good."
Pei Zhouwu answered yes and put a piece of meat into her bowl without any suspicion of her words.
"It should be, after all..."
He paused. After all, once they left Shangjing City, they might never come back in this life.
"After all, you grew up with her and have an extremely close relationship with her. It's only right for you to help her."
He planned to wait until everything was settled before telling her that he was leaving.
I think she would be happy too.
The world outside is so big, it’s much more comfortable than being trapped here.
"When are you going?" he asked again.
"Well...it will take more than a month."
If there's anything about friends who grew up together getting married, of course it's fake.
One month was the day she had promised the old lady of the Shen family to go back.
It is said to be a month, but in fact, if you count the scheduled days, it is probably about forty days. It takes this much time to go from Shangjing to Yizhou, and then come back after paying homage.
After I leave, I may not come back here. If I get pregnant, maybe...
Pei Zhouwu lowered his eyebrows and whispered softly, "One month."
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"No." Pei Zhouwu smiled and raised his eyes, then slowly shook his head and said, "I just thought there's still some time before a month, so there's no rush."
In fact, he was thinking that his plan would be postponed.
I had thought of taking her away in ten days at most. We had already slept together last night. Although there is no guarantee, we cannot rule out the possibility of her getting pregnant. If she really gets pregnant overnight, then her stomach should be ready in a month.
If we leave at that time, it will definitely be troublesome.
The main reason is that I am afraid that the bumpy journey will tire her out and hurt the fetus in her belly.
He remembered his mother had said before that the wife of a cousin from a branch of the Pei family was diagnosed with pregnancy, and the date was calculated to be the day she got pregnant, on her wedding night.
But, he couldn't force her to leave early.
This was probably the only dream she had left in Beijing. If she wasn't allowed to attend the wedding banquet, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Besides, it may not be that accurate.
It is common for couples to be childless after being married for several years.
After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated and just asked, "Is the journey back far for you?"
"It's far." Liu Fuying swallowed a mouthful of food and lied without thinking, "It's two or three mountains away from here, but it doesn't matter. I grew up in the mountains and I'm used to climbing mountains."
After laughing, he looked back and picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks.

Go to the capital city, the father-in-law's residence.
Pei's mother received the letter sent by Pei Zhouwu. After reading it, her face changed drastically and she ran to the study to find Zhouwu's father.
After reading the letter, Pei's father also looked solemn.
"Master, what exactly does Ah Zhou mean by this letter? The last time I saw him, he also said that he would expel him from the Pei family. At that time, I just thought he was just saying it out of anger. But today, he wrote this letter very seriously. He is determined to sever his membership in the Pei family tree. He also said that if anything happens to him in the future, he will never bring trouble to the family. Has he...has he become stupid, crazy, or confused because of being locked up?"
"Master, please speak."
Father Pei held the letter in his hand, his fist clenched and trembling slightly.
After a long while, Father Pei calmed down and replied, "He was planning something, so he notified us in advance so that we can be mentally prepared."
"What does he want to do? Does he want to defect?"
Father Pei stood up, lit the candle on the corner of the table, and then handed over the letter in his hand.
"master!"
"I will go to the palace tomorrow." Father Pei's eyes turned red without him knowing when. He endured it and continued, "A few days ago, the prince pleaded for Azhou in front of His Majesty, saying that Azhou was persecuted for his injury this time, and he must be innocent of the previous rebellion. He asked His Majesty to release Azhou, which made His Majesty furious. The queen knows her limits, she will not teach the prince to say such things. The prince may have been deceived by some people in the harem with ulterior motives."
Speaking of this, Pei's mother also felt distressed.
"In recent days, your majesty has been very close to Concubine Li's son. I am afraid that your majesty has started to think about deposing the crown prince again. For your majesty, he will never be at peace unless Azhou is removed. I will tell your majesty to expel Azhou from the family tree. From now on, he will no longer be a son of the Pei family and will never have any chance to turn things around. In this way, your majesty will be at peace, and the crown prince will be able to sit firmly on the throne of the heir."
"Master, that Ah Zhou..."
After listening to what Pei's father said, Pei's mother was already in tears.
Although she had been strict with Pei Zhouwu since he was a child, he was her flesh and blood after all, so how could she bear to give him up?
"I let His Majesty know my determination to abandon Azhou in exchange for the crown prince. He will not doubt my intention to expel Azhou from the family, and it will also fulfill Azhou's intention of not wanting to bring trouble to the family. As a father, I watched him suffer but could not save him. If he can be free in the future, I am willing to... fulfill his wish."
Pei's mother was already crying uncontrollably.
…
In the next few days, the Pei family servants no longer delivered food into the mountains.
Pei Zhouwu understood that his father and mother had accepted his request, so he could now implement his plan with confidence.
A month later, when her Ah Ying returns from the wedding banquet, he can take her away from this place without any worries.
The days pass one by one, and after enduring the hottest days, the end of summer is approaching.
recently.
Liu Fuying always lay lazily on the bed and was unwilling to get up, and Pei Zhouwu had to coax her for a long time every time.
Time passed so quickly in the mountains that many times, Liu Fuying herself even thought that she and Pei Zhouwu were a real couple, enjoying each other's company day after day and not wanting to go home.
Occasionally I suddenly remember that my time is running out.
From fifteen days left, to only ten days, and then to only five days left.
This morning when she was having breakfast, she suddenly realized that there were only three days left before she returned home. She choked and her face turned red, and she couldn't breathe.
"Still feeling uncomfortable?" Pei Zhouwu sat down in front of the bed holding a teacup.
Liu Fuying was lying on her side, she raised her eyelids to look at him, and replied lazily with a "hmm".
"You haven't recovered from choking just now?" Pei Zhouwu touched her face, feeling sorry for her ugly expression. "Maybe it's because you coughed too hard when you choked. Get up and drink some water to moisten your throat."
He handed the teacup to Liu Fuying.
Liu Fuying moved forward. She didn't know if the water in the cup was mixed with oil or something, but as soon as she smelled it, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
