After getting off the carriage, Liu Luan still had a smile on her face, and her movements looked very calm, making it impossible to tell what she was going to do next. However, only those who were familiar with her could see that her steps were very heavy.
After entering the shop, Liu Yanan looked around, but did not see Princess Fuping.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt relieved.
However, when he saw Liu Tangxi picking something in the corner, he frowned slightly.
She had just made a guess, but she didn't expect Liu Tangxi to be really there.
Wei Hanzhou supported the Crown Prince, so if they kidnapped Liu Tangxi, they could only threaten the people on the Crown Prince's side. But now the King of Jian was their top opponent, so kidnapping Liu Tangxi would be useless.
On the contrary, it will cause unnecessary complications.
Just as she was thinking about it, the shopkeeper called her, "Second Miss."
Liu Yanan came back to his senses, smiled at the shopkeeper, and walked in.
At this moment, Liu Tangxi heard the noise and looked back.
Liu Xuanan saw Liu Tangxi's belly and said, "Big sister, are you about to give birth?"
Liu Tangxi had not expected to meet Liu Luan at this moment.
Although Wei Hanzhou did not elaborate, she could clearly feel that Prince Jian's control over the capital city was getting stronger and stronger recently. The situation in the capital city was becoming more and more tense, and there was a feeling that an arrow was on the string ready to be fired.
The Third Prince must be very anxious and angry at this moment, thinking about how to deal with the Crown Prince and Prince Jian. How come Liu Xuanan still has time to come out and buy New Year's goods?
Speaking of this, she was speechless. The Third Prince had obviously married the girl from the Marquis's mansion, so why did Liu Luan still support the Third Prince? Did she love the Third Prince so much that she had to be with him? But she didn't find in the book that the heroine loved the hero to this extent. She just remembered that the heroine was very strong.
So, what was she thinking?
Thinking about the last time she said something to comfort Liu Luan out of sympathy, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt that she was meddling in other people's business.
At this moment, she didn't want to say anything more to Liu Li'an, so she simply said, "Well, it's almost done."
"Big sister, are you buying New Year's goods?"
"Um."
As they were talking, a few people came out from a nearby room.
"Third aunt, did you tell me before that there is a kind of vehicle that can run very fast without being pulled by a horse, and can get from our hometown to the capital in just a few hours?" Fu Yao asked.
Liu Xuan'an, who was standing nearby, was shocked when he heard this. He slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Tangxi.
After seeing the girls being supported, Liu Tangxi's expression changed immediately. Her attention shifted from Liu Luan to the girls, and she said with a smile, "Yes, there are indeed."
But it doesn’t end now, Liu Tangxi thought to himself.
"Madam Wei, how is this possible? How can a cart run without a horse pulling it? I don't believe it." Princess Fuping looked incredulous.
Fu Yao retorted: "Didn't I tell you? My third aunt said there is such a thing. Even if the princess has never seen it, she can't say it doesn't exist."
Princess Fuping didn't believe Fu Yao and Shu Lan at first, but when she saw Liu Tangxi admit it, she had to believe it. But even if she believed it, she still had doubts in her heart.
If such a thing really existed, how could she not have seen or heard of it?
Thinking of this, Princess Fuping frowned and said, "Is there really such a car? If so, why didn't my father use it when he was fighting?"
If such a vehicle was really used, wouldn't it be possible to rush to the enemy quickly and win easily without so many deaths?
Liu Tangxi had known Fu Yao and the others for a long time, so they would talk about interesting things when they had nothing to do, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing Princess Fuping asking so seriously, she was at a loss for words.
At this time, Shu Lan came out to explain: "I know, this must be what Auntie San saw in a book. Maybe no one has ever created it. Since the princess is so amazing, you can give it a try."
After saying that, Shu Lan looked at Liu Tangxi and asked, "Auntie San, am I right?"
Liu Tangxi touched Shulan's hair and said with great satisfaction, "Good boy, that's right."
She has always used this excuse to fool the Fuyao brothers and sisters. Every time they asked too many questions, she would encourage them to try it themselves.
Shu Lan smiled happily after receiving Liu Tangxi's approval.
Liu Tangxi was touching Shulan's hair when she suddenly noticed a pair of burning eyes staring at her.
When she turned her head, she saw Liu Luan looking at her with a strange look.
Thinking of what she had just said, Liu Tangxi's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she quickly raised her hand to touch her belly.
She usually didn't pay much attention to this, especially when teaching children. In fact, in order to enrich the children's imagination, she liked to talk about these unrealized inventions.
Because many things sounded unbelievable, she said she had seen them all in books.
No one ever doubted her.
Even someone as smart as Wei Hanzhou never doubted her.
But she forgot that Liu Yanan was a time traveler.
Moreover, Liu Yanan is also a smart person.
Because she had changed so much, Liu Luan must have suspected her a long time ago.
Isn't it that she is exposing herself by saying this now?
What should I do?
Liu Tangxi pursed her lips and began to think of a solution.
However, after thinking about it, she felt that even if Liu Luan discovered that she was a time traveler, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Liu Yunan obviously focused his energy on the previous dynasty, and she, just ate, drank and played every day. He would neither cause her any trouble nor hinder her in anything, and the two of them kept to themselves.
Presumably, with Liu Luan'an's personality, even if he knew that she was a time traveler, he would not go to Marquis Huai En to expose her.
Besides, even if it was exposed, she just had to deny it. This body belonged to the original owner anyway, and no one would do anything to her even if she denied it to death.
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi's mood gradually calmed down, and he smiled at Liu An very calmly.
"Which book is it? Why have I never seen it before? Is there really such a book?" Princess Fuping continued to ask.
Liu Tangxi turned and looked at Princess Fuping.
However, before she could say anything, Liu Luan spoke first: "Big sister must have read it when she was a child. I vaguely remember reading the same book with big sister."
Liu Xuanan was very sure that she had never mentioned such a thing. So, how did Liu Tangxi know about it?
From this we can see that Liutangxi also traveled through time.
She had always taken it for granted. She had always believed that when a person traveled through time, he or she would want to make achievements and accomplish something. Only in this way would the journey through time be worthwhile.
Liu Tangxi, however, did nothing. She was idle and wasted her time, just eating and waiting for death. She was no different from the ladies of the Dali period. No, she was even more useless than the ladies of the Dali period. She had no ambitions at all. She just planted flowers and crops, did some small business, and cooked in the kitchen every day.
He doesn't look like a time traveler at all.
But at this moment, the facts were right in front of her: Liu Tangxi had indeed traveled through time just like her.
It can be seen that there really are people who are content with being ordinary.
Liu Tangxi must have traveled through time after her older sister left Beijing.
At that time, Wei Hanzhou was just a poor scholar. But she was content with her life in the countryside and never took the initiative to return to Beijing.
She knew very well what life was like in the rural areas of Dali, and she didn't know how Liu Tangxi, a time-traveling girl, endured it.
To put it nicely, she is a contented person, but to put it bluntly, she is useless.
However, if Liu Tangxi was a time traveler, many things would be explainable.
Why did Liu Tangxi's personality change drastically after she lost her memory, why did Liu Tangxi choose Wei Hanzhou instead of taking revenge on her after her "rebirth", why did Liu Tangxi never come to trouble her, and why did Liu Tangxi not take the opportunity to ridicule her when he learned that she could not become the Third Prince's consort...
Liu Tangxi should have known that she was a time traveler a long time ago, but she neither came to recognize her nor exposed her. It was obvious that she didn't want to have anything to do with her.
In this case, she felt that this person was not so annoying, and it made her feel more at ease.
"Ah? You have all read that book, why don't I know about it?" Princess Fuping was a little depressed.
"If you have a computer, it might be faster to check it on the computer. Don't you think so, big sister?" The look in Liu Luan'an's eyes when he looked at Liu Tangxi was different from before.
Seeing Liu Luan's expression, Liu Tangxi knew that she had been exposed. Anyway, she had already thought about the worst possible outcome, so she responded directly: "I think the mobile phone is more convenient."
After saying this, their eyes met.
"Computer? Cell phone? What is that?" Princess Fuping was even more confused. She asked Fu Yao and Shu Lan who were standing beside her, "Have you heard of it?"
Fu Yao and Shu Lan shook their heads at the same time.
"no."
After knowing each other's secrets, the two looked away again.
Liu Yanan glanced at Princess Fuping standing beside her. The interruption just now had awakened her long-buried memories.
At this moment, looking at Princess Fuping again and thinking about what she was about to do, her mood became a little complicated.
What she had done before could be said to be a matter of political standpoint, either you die or I live. The tricks in the back house could also be said to be a matter of if no one offends me, I will not offend others.
She is on the side of the Third Prince and has a different political stance from Prince Jian.
But Princess Fuping was just a child and had never harmed her.
If she had thought that the Third Prince had great hope a few months ago, but now, as Prince Jian's power was gradually exposed, there were only four words in her mind: the situation was over.
Now, unless Prince Jian dies, or Emperor You, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince unite, there may still be a glimmer of hope.
Does she really want to listen to the Third Prince, capture Princess Fuping to threaten Prince Jian, and use such despicable means to reverse the situation?
Liu Tangxi glanced at Fu Yao and Shu Lan and said, "Fu Yao, Shu Lan, this is my second sister, you can just call her aunt."
"Aunt." Shu Lan said obediently.
Fu Yao suddenly asked, "Ah? Are you the Miss An that the gentleman mentioned?"
After hearing this, Liu Xuanan shifted his gaze away from Princess Fuping and looked down at the 90-year-old girl in front of him.
"Is it really you?" Fu Yao asked excitedly.
Liu Luan glanced at Liu Tangxi, then looked down at Fu Yao, nodded, and acknowledged this.
Then, Fu Yao said excitedly: "You are amazing. I heard from the teacher that you could compose poems at the age of three, and you could memorize what she said in half a day. It is said that you know astronomy and geography, and have insights into many things. It is also said that you have studied many things and brought convenience to everyone... It is said that if you were a man, you would definitely pass the imperial examination."
Looking at the pure eyes of the little girl in front of him, Liu An'an's heart suddenly softened.
Liu Tangxi felt a little uncomfortable watching Fu Yao's admiring expression. She remembered that Fu Yao used to admire her the most, right? He had only been attending classes at the Marquis' Mansion for a few months, so how could he start to admire Liu Xuan'an so quickly?
What's so good about Liu Luan? Is it that the food she cooks is better than hers, or that the fruits she grows are bigger?
However, despite feeling jealous, Liu Tangxi had to admit that Liu Xuanan was indeed worthy of admiration. The things she did were much better and more powerful than her.
It would be great if you could learn something from Fuyao.
However, there is no need to learn Liu Xuan’an’s improper thoughts.
When she goes back later, she will have to have a good talk with Fu Yao, trying to take the essence and discard the dross!
"Are you still writing articles now? I'm not very good at writing, and I really want to read what you write." Fu Yao said a little embarrassedly.
Liu Luan suddenly felt upset. Ever since she planned to join hands with the third prince to seize the throne, she has never written an article again.
"I won't write anymore." Liu Yanan said.
Seeing the disappointment in Fu Yao's eyes, Liu Luan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. In all these years, she had never met anyone who said these words to her, nor had any girl admired her so openly. The people she met either disliked her or wanted to curry favor with her, and everyone had their own purpose.
"I will write again if I have the chance in the future." Liu Luan added.
Fu Yao smiled and said, "Yeah."
Princess Fuping had been educated by her family, so she knew what kind of person Liu Luan was. Seeing how much Fu Yao admired Liu Luan, she quietly pulled her sleeve and whispered, "She is very bad, don't like her."
When Fu Yao saw Princess Fuping saying bad things about Liu Luan, her face looked a little unhappy, but she did not refute her, but kept silent.
Liu Luanan glanced at the expression on Princess Fuping's face and let out a long breath.
Forget it, why should she embarrass a little girl?
Although this little girl is a bit annoying, she is innocent after all.
Liu Luan touched Fu Yao's head and said with a smile: "Study hard in the future. One day, a woman will be able to exact her own revenge."
"Yeah." Fu Yao nodded heavily and a smile appeared on his face again.
Liu Tangxi thought, indeed, one day in the future, women will also be able to do something. But now, Dali does not allow it. Although Dali did not restrict women so much, there was no precedent for women to serve as officials.
After talking to Fu Yao, Liu Luan approached Liu Tangxi and whispered something in her ear.
"Take Princess Fuping and escape through the back door."
Liu Tangxi was just thinking about how to tell Fu Yao when he returned, but when he heard this, he was stunned and looked at Liu Luan in disbelief.
"Hurry up." Liu Xuan'an said while looking into Liu Tangxi's eyes.
The Third Prince is no longer the same person he used to be. Now that he is in a desperate situation, who knows what crazy things he will do. Even if she doesn't trick them out now, the Third Prince's troops will be transferred here soon.
Liu Tangxi looked at Liu Xuan'an and quickly thought about what to do.
Liu Luan'an is not a good person. The things she does, some good and some bad, all depend on her personal stance.
She should be in opposition to Prince Jin's Mansion now, so whatever she does will certainly be detrimental to Prince Jin.
But why did she remind her to take Princess Fuping away? Was there a trap waiting for them?
But, wouldn't it be more convenient for Liu Luan not to remind her and just trick them away?
For some reason, Liu Tangxi believed her.
"Princess, didn't you say you wanted to come to my house for lunch? Then let's go back and prepare now."
After hearing this, Princess Fuping immediately smiled happily and walked towards the door: "Okay, let's go."
Liu Tangxi grabbed her and said, "Let's go out the back door. My carriage is at the back door. Let's sit together and talk."
"Okay." Princess Fuping seemed very excited. "I want to eat sweet and sour fish and chestnut chicken."
"good."
Princess Fuping was followed by a maid. When she heard this, she wanted to go to the main gate and say something to the palace guards who followed her.
But, he was stopped by Liu Yanan.
Liu Tangxi made a prompt decision and said, "Let's go first. I'll ask the shopkeeper to talk to us later."
Before leaving, Liu Tangxi looked at Liu Luan again, and then hurriedly walked towards the back door with Princess Fuping and Fu Yao Shulan.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Liu Tangxi's face turned cold.
"Go to the Hanlin Academy."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, especially the maids in the palace.
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to say to Lord Wei. Let's go back after that." Liu Tangxi said calmly.
"good."
After arriving at the Hanlin Academy, Liu Tangxi asked Dongsheng to go in and find Wei Hanzhou.
"Sir, the lady said she has something urgent to discuss with you. She is outside now."
Wei Hanzhou was originally discussing something with Xie Congli, but when he heard this, he hurried out.
They had planned everything gradually. At such a critical moment, Liu Tangxi was still pregnant, what could happen? It must be something big. Thinking of this, Xie Congli was worried and followed.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Liu Tangxi came to see Wei Hanzhou when he was on duty.
Wei Hanzhou knew Liu Tangxi's personality and knew that he would not come to him easily. Thinking of the current situation, he suddenly had a bad premonition and quickened his pace.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou, Liu Tangxi's heart finally came to fruition. Looking at Xie Congli beside him, she didn't have time to salute and said directly: "Just now, Princess Fuping and I were buying things in the shop, and Liu Luan suddenly came in. After talking to us for a while, she suddenly whispered to me and asked me to take Princess Fuping and run away. I was worried, so I came to find you. Do you think she has any conspiracy? Is she lying to me? But I don't think she looked like she was lying to me at that time."
After saying that, Liu Tangxi glanced at Xie Congli.
Xie Congli was shocked.
Wei Hanzhou frowned slightly.
The actions of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were all under their control. Early this morning, the Third Prince was indeed with Liu Lu'an. It was said that the Third Prince went to the Marquis Huai'en's Mansion to pick her up in person.
As for the route from Marquis Huai'en's Mansion to the Third Prince's Mansion, the nearest road passes right by my wife's shop.
The third prince must have been with Liu Xuan'an at that time.
Therefore, their target was Princess Fuping.
Wei Hanzhou and Xie Congli looked at each other and said a few words to each other.
Soon, the two finished their discussion.
Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi's panicked eyes, raised his hand to tuck the strands of hair on her face behind her ears, and said as calmly as possible: "Don't worry, it's okay. You and the princess will stay in the house outside the capital for a few days."
Liu Tangxi's bad feeling gradually grew.
"Don't be afraid, you'll just be staying there for a few days. Your parents will also be there to accompany you. Remember, don't come back until I pick you up."
Liu Tangxi's tears suddenly flowed out.
"Wei Hanzhou, why do you say that? What do you mean?"
"Be good." Wei Hanzhou gently held her in his arms.
Soon, it loosened again.
"You still need to take care of your parents, so go now."
Liu Tangxi blinked quickly, holding back her tears, and said in a hushed voice, "Okay. Then you have to promise me that you will live well. If you die, I will take the child and remarry."
Unexpectedly, Wei Hanzhou suddenly laughed and said, "My lady, I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity in your lifetime."
Seeing him like this, Liu Tangxi relaxed a lot.
At this time, another open carriage without any markings drove over. Liu Tangxi stood on tiptoe and kissed Wei Hanzhou, whispering in his ear: "You must stay alive. It doesn't matter if you lose, as long as you stay alive. I have a lot of banknotes on me, and we can escape to another place when the time comes."
"Um."
“Eat more of the fruits I grow.”
"good."
After the carriage stopped, Liu Tangxi turned around and got on.
