Chapter 258: Weird Ning County
Su Ruian cannot get pregnant again. Su Chenyu is very clear about this. It is really interesting that the reason why Lian Shizhao is looking forward to having a child so much is not because of him.
"What can this princess mean? I just thought that I had to go early so as not to delay Rui'an's delivery. Otherwise, even the prince consort would miss the birth of his baby."
"Princess Fengyi, please don't worry about such things." Lian Shizhao was looking forward to the child in Su Ruian's belly. When he came back from Xixia, Su Ruian would be due to give birth.
Thinking of the promise that Emperor Jing of Wei had made to him, Lian Shizhao felt even more proud: "Princess Fengyi, let's not waste time here, let's set off quickly."
When Jian Suining heard Su Chenyu mention Su Ruian's pregnancy at this time, he immediately understood her implicit reminder to be wary of the Lian family, especially the child in Su Ruian's belly.
When Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing got on the carriage again, Jian Suining deliberately stood by the window and said, "Princess and Prince Consort, please rest assured. I will take care of everything in the capital."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Jian." Su Chenyu smiled at Jian Suining through the carriage window. Jian Suining was stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered his head, not daring to look up at Su Chenyu again.
Only after the carriage left did Jian Suining raise his head and look forward. Looking at the convoy, he could only pray in his heart, hoping that everything would go well...
The journey from the capital to the frontier is long, and the food, clothing, and accommodation are naturally not comparable to those in the capital. The Li brothers have long been accustomed to it, and Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing are not people who seek pleasure. The one who can't stand it the most is Lian Shizhao. He complained many times along the way and wanted to rest for a few more days at the inn every time.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing would not tolerate his bad habit and would just pretend that this person did not exist and deal with the matter as it should be. As a result, Lian Shizhao fell behind. This made Tan Yanxi, who had been escorting Lian Shizhao all the way, feel extremely ashamed. Why was he responsible for such a coward?
After more than a month of hard work, everyone finally reached the border.
Ning County is remote and not on the way, so Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing asked the main force to go to the post house first to guard the birthday gifts.
They took a few personal servants and took a detour to Ning County. Li Mucheng was worried and followed them resolutely. Li Muyuan had no choice but to stay at the post house to guard it with grievance.
But the closer they got to Ning County, Baili Yanqing became more and more uneasy.
Su Chenyu saw that Baili Yanqing was uneasy: "What's wrong with you?"
Baili Yanqing shook his head: "I don't know either, I just feel something is wrong."
They passed many small towns along the way. The places closer to the towns tend to have more people, but they are almost in Ning County, so why haven't they seen anyone there yet?
After the carriage with a group of people entered Ning County, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing felt as if they had entered a "dead city".
On the streets, every house was closed, there was no one around, let alone anyone doing business.
It is autumn now, the weather is getting colder, and the bleak autumn wind blows up the dust piled on the road, making this small border town even more desolate.
Su Chenyu had sharp senses and could feel that there were people living in the houses on both sides of the street. These people were hiding in their homes, perhaps peeping at the intruders through the gaps in the open windows.
"Master, what should we do now?" This Ning County was full of weirdness. Zhu Yi, who was driving a carriage outside, couldn't help but feel a little cold. He wrapped his coat tightly and asked.
"Is there an inn open here?"
Zhu Yifanfan: "I just looked around and it seems that there is only one inn with a sign, but the door is tightly closed."
"Go knock on the door." Baili Yanqing ordered.
