Shen Yuexi looked at the gurgling little one in her arms. The pink little face was covered with tears, which were still falling down. It was really heartbreaking to see.
Liang Yuyu cried, and Shen Yuexi followed suit, even crying more heartbrokenly than her.
Liu Qiu watched Shen Yuexi cry, and tears began to fall from his eyes.
All of a sudden, the three people in the room cried louder and sadder.
Dongdong--
A crisp knock on the door interrupted the crying of the three people.
The three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked behind them.
But Cen Jiaan was standing at the door, wearing a nightgown, looking cautiously at the three people in the room.
Meeting the gazes of the three people, Cen Jiaan coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, and stepped forward to salute Shen Yuexi: "Madam Liang, it was Lord Liang who asked me to come."
Shen Yuexi was stunned: "Master Liang? Liang Ruitian?"
Cen Jiaan nodded: "Today, Lord Liang recommended me to be the prince's tutor. He specifically called me aside and told me to come to the Imperial Mausoleum Warehouse to find you and ask you to come with me."
Shen Yuexi hugged Liang Yuyu cautiously, her eyes widening slightly as she looked Cen Jiaan up and down. "Why should I follow you? Do you have any evidence?"
Cen Jiaan took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Shen Yuexi.
It turned out to be Liang Ruitian’s jade pendant!
Shen Yuexi was stunned and looked at Cen Jiaan in surprise: "How could this happen?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo joined forces with the Qi family and mobilized some of the Xingtai troops around the capital to rebel."
"Lord Liang received the news in advance. In order to paralyze the Zhenguogong Mansion, it was Lord Liang who petitioned the Emperor to reinstate Concubine Qi as a concubine."
"He asked the Empress to find a reason to let Madam Liang leave the capital, hoping to ensure her safety."
"Lord Liang also said that, just in case, it would be best for Madam Liang and the young lady to come with me. That way, even the Empress wouldn't know your whereabouts, and your safety would be guaranteed."
It turns out that Liang Ruitian had made all the arrangements long ago!
He planned all these things!
"Madam Liang," Cen Jia'an continued, "the situation in the capital is unstable, and the rebels may storm the imperial city at any time. If we wait until the situation in the capital deteriorates, it will be too late to leave."
Shen Yuexi held Liang Yuyu in her arms and paced back and forth in the room.
Over the years, her relationship with Liang Ruitian and his wife has not been very harmonious.
But most of the discord was caused by her.
She always got angry at Liang Ruitian for no reason and even embarrassed him in public.
If it were someone else, he would have been unable to tolerate it and would have divorced his wife.
But Liang Ruitian not only did not divorce his wife, but treated her better and better every day.
Now he is trapped in the capital. If I just leave, I don’t know when I will see him again.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Yuexi looked at Cen Jiaan firmly: "Can I trust you?"
Cen Jiaan was stunned for a few seconds.
He did come to take revenge on the Liang family.
But now the time is not ripe, and he can only temporarily make peace with the Liang family.
"Of course, I'm here on behalf of Lord Liang. This jade pendant is my testimony."
Shen Yuexi suddenly stretched out her arms and handed the little guy in her arms to Cen Jiaan.
"Take Guaibao away. If the capital is stable, you can come back."
Shen Yuexi lowered her head and glanced at Liang Yuyu, who was looking at her with eyes wide open.
She sighed and said, "If the capital falls, please take good care of my dear."
【Mother～】
Liang Yuyu cried even louder, her chubby little hands waving in the air.
【Mother, hug me. Mother, I won’t leave.】
Shen Yuexi turned her head away, pushed away Liang Yuyu's outstretched paws with one hand, twitched her nose, and took a few deep breaths: "Go! Go!"
【Mother, don’t you want me anymore? 】
Liang Yuyu cried so hard that it shook the heavens. Her heart was broken and her voice was hoarse from crying.
But Shen Yuexi only gave her a sideways glance, and kept repeating: "Hurry up and leave!"
Cen Jiaan steeled his resolve, hugged Liang Yuyu tightly, bowed to Shen Yuexi, said take care, turned around and disappeared into the moonlight.
Shen Yuexi took a few steps forward and watched Liang Yuyu and Cen Jiaan disappear from her sight, tears streaming down her face.
She squatted on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her delicate face between her knees, and her shoulders twitched.
Liu Qiu couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward carefully, holding Shen Yuexi's back with one hand, and whispered, "Madam."
Shen Yuexi took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and looked back at Liu Qiu: "Let's go back to Beijing."
＊
Cen Jiaan carried Liang Yuyu over the ridge and walked all night long.
At first Liang Yuyu kept crying, but later, either because she was tired of crying or had no more tears, she finally lay in Cen Jiaan's arms without a sound.
As dawn approached, the two came to a cave.
Cen Jiaan whistled at the entrance of the cave, and the same whistle came from inside.
Soon, a man walked out of the cave.
Liang Yuyu looked closely and found that it was Taoist Bieshe!
At this moment, the Taoist Bieshe stared at Liang Yuyu with his eyes, rubbed his hands lightly in front of him twice, and smiled ghostly: "Here I come."
Taoist Bieshe stretched out his hand and pinched Liang Yuyu's face directly. He raised the corner of his lips gloomily and smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that the young master really had to bring this little girl back."
Hearing this, Liang Yuyu suddenly turned her head away, her big eyes widened, and she stared straight at Cen Jiaan.
[He really has bad intentions! ]
【You must have brought me here for a different purpose! 】
Cen Jiaan felt uneasy when Liang Yuyu stared at him. He coughed lightly and turned his head away to avoid Liang Yuyu's sight.
Taoist Bieshe stretched out his hand: "Come, don't tire my young master, I will hold him."
As soon as his hand touched Liang Yuyu's soft waist, Cen Jiaan instinctively stepped back, holding Liang Yuyu with one hand, and looked at Bieshe Taoist nervously, saying in a deep voice: "Don't touch her."
Taoist Bieshe was startled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Cen Jiaan with some surprise.
After a pause, he slowly withdrew his hand, the corners of his lips raised, revealing a strange smile: "Why? Are you planning to do it yourself, young master?"
Seeing no response from Cen Jiaan, Taoist Bieshe continued, "Alright. Liang Ruitian is the young master's sworn enemy. It's only right for the young master to personally kill his beloved daughter."
Liang Yuyu felt even more panicked and uneasy after hearing this.
[Cen Jiaan, please don't let me look down on you! ]
[I am still in my infancy. If you bully me, you are bullying the weak.]
[If you have the guts, wait until I grow up and we can duel again.]
Cen Jiaan stared at the big eyes of the baby in his arms, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
After thinking for a moment, he replied to Taoist Bieshe in a deep voice: "I keep her for other uses."
Without waiting for Bieshe Taoist to answer, Cen Jiaan continued, "Pack your things and go back immediately. Tell your family that the capital is in chaos and now is the perfect time."
