Chapter 531 Go Away I Don’t Want to See You
Jing agreed and squatted down to pick it up immediately, but she didn't expect Shangguan Jinglan to take another step forward and step on her shoes.
She raised her head and looked at her pleadingly, "Please... Queen, please step up!"
"Jingshu!" Shangguan Jinglan grabbed Jingshu's chin, gradually increasing her strength. "It's not like I haven't been kind to you before, but what about you? How do you repay me?"
"After staying in the cold palace for so many years, you still can't learn to be honest, right?" she said gritting her teeth.
Jing Da Ying cried so hard that it hurt, but she tried her best to hold it back. Her slightly red eyes kept looking back at Shangguan Jinglan, her eyes full of stubbornness, with no intention of avoiding her.
Shangguan Jinglan sneered, pushed the man away, and wiped her hands, "You really are unrepentant."
"Okay, very good!" She took the handkerchief Qinglian handed over and wiped her hands vigorously. "Let's wait and see if your precious son can come back alive."
Jing Da Ying's face turned pale instantly. She humbly crawled to Shangguan Jinglan's feet and begged, "Empress, please let Xiao Nian go. Please spare Xiao Nian's life!"
"Get out of here!" Shangguan Jinglan took a few steps back in disgust and looked at her coldly, "By the way, Jing promised, I came here to give you good news. You will be happy soon."
She gave Qinglian a look.
"Jing agreed. The emperor has issued an edict to promote you to Concubine Jing. You don't need to live in Yingcui Residence anymore and can move back to Jinghe Palace." Qinglian said with disdain.
Jing agreed and sat there blankly, not feeling happy at all. All she could think about was the threats Shangguan Jinglan had just made to her.
She had said not to let Yuan Xiaonian go to Dongchu, but the child didn't listen. What should she do now...
Soon, Shangguan Jinglan left with her men.
The former Jing Da Ying, now Jing Pin, was still sitting on the ground in a daze until Yuan Huaihong appeared.
"Empress Jing, please get up!" Yuan Huaihong stepped forward and gently tried to pull Concubine Jing up.
Jingpin suddenly grabbed Yuan Huaihong's hand, digging her nails into the back of his hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "You did it on purpose! You want to kill my Xiaonian!"
"Empress Jing, please get up first." Yuan Huaihong endured the severe pain on the back of his hand, pulled Concubine Jing up, and helped her sit at the table.
"You don't have to be so hypocritical." Jingpin withdrew her hand and coldly drove him away, "Go away, I don't want to see you."
"I'll be leaving soon." Yuan Huaihong sighed, "But before I go, I want to make a promise to the Queen."
Concubine Jing turned her head and looked over.
"I promise the Queen that my second brother will come back safely." Yuan Huaihong said in a firm tone.
Jingpin didn't believe it at all, "Yuan Huaihong, you don't understand your mother's methods at all. She won't let Xiaonian..."
"Please believe me and wait in Jinghe Palace. Let's see together whether Xiaonian will come back safely!" Yuan Huaihong met Jingpin's eyes and nodded vigorously.
Concubine Jing was silent. The child's eyes were indeed too determined. In fact, for a moment just now... she wanted to die, perhaps in exchange for Shangguan Jinglan letting Yuan Xiaonian go, but now... she suddenly wanted to wait.
"Empress Jing, I'm leaving first." Yuan Huaihong turned and left without saying anything else.

Li Suining and others left the palace, and the carriage team to Dongchu was ready.
There were three luxurious carriages, one was prepared for Yuan Xiaonian, another was prepared for Li Suining, and the last one, which was slightly smaller, was prepared for Fuxing and Bai Yu'an.
In addition, there were two small carriages and a guard of twenty people.
Yuan Xiaonian stood in front of the carriage and couldn't help but laugh at himself, "If I hadn't had this opportunity to go to Dongchu, I really don't know if I could ever ride in such a nice carriage in my lifetime."
"Of course I can!" Little Dumpling shouted. After all, she knew that Yuan Xiaonian would become the overlord of Kyushu Island in the future.
She took Fuxing's hand affectionately and said, "Sister Fuxing, can we take a carriage?"
"Yes, you and Fuxing can take one car, and second brother can take the one at the back." Bai Yu'an nodded to his sister.
Soon, everyone got on their respective carriages and the team set off.
It takes about half a month to travel from the imperial city to the State of East Chu, and a lot of things will obviously happen in this half month.
However, no one expected that something would happen as soon as the team left the imperial city.
It was a dangerous place called Yitiantian. There were very high cliffs on both sides of the narrow canyon. When the convoy entered the canyon, rocks rolled down from the cliffs.
Soon, screams were heard everywhere, and coincidentally, the stones only injured the guards behind the carriage, but did not hit the carriage directly.
Even so, Li Suining was frightened in the carriage, and her little body was shaking constantly. Fortunately, Fuxing finally paid attention to her and held her in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, they won't kill us on the way there." Fuxing lowered his voice to comfort the little dumpling.
Li Suining nodded obediently and thanked her softly, "Thank you, Sister Fuxing. From now on... you won't want to pay attention to me anymore."
Along the way, she talked a lot to Fuxing, but Fuxing never said a word.
They waited quietly in the carriage for a while, and the sound of falling rocks finally disappeared.
"Wait here, I'll go down and take a look." Fuxing offered, but when she stood up, she found Li Suining still holding onto the corner of her clothes. "I'll be back soon."
Li Suining shook her head gently. Seeing that Fuxing really wanted to go out, she said cautiously, "Then I'll go with you."
She didn't want to be alone in the carriage; she was afraid.
"Forget it." Fuxing sat back down. It was obvious that she couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene outside. She felt that Li Suining was not suitable to go out.
At this time, Bai Yu'an's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Sister, Fuxing, how are you? Are you injured?"
"Second brother, we're not hurt." Li Suining immediately replied in a baby voice, and quickly added, "Luckily, Sister Fuxing protected me just now, otherwise I would have been scared to death."
"I'm glad you're okay." Bai Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief. He soon saw Yuan Xiaonian jump down from the front carriage and asked with concern, "Second Prince, are you okay?"
Yuan Xiaonian shook his head, strode over, and asked casually, "Is everything okay?"
Bai Yu'an knew that he was asking about Li Suining and the others, so he nodded immediately and followed Yuan Xiaonian.
The two came to the back of the convoy and saw that more than half of the guards were seriously injured or even dead.
"Second Prince! Imperial Preceptor!" Xiao Jingwen, the captain of the escort team, stepped forward. "The team has suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid only half of them are still able to continue on their journey. What should we do?"
Yuan Xiaonian frowned. Obviously, these people's target this time was the guards, and it was obvious who arranged them.
