If it weren't for the robbers...
But think about it, if I hadn't met Dongfang Run, I would have been in great danger. What if I met their village leader? He was also a stubborn person. Their innocence was a small matter. If they even lost their lives, what would happen to her children?
Dongfang Run did not answer, but his calm and sullen expression was really chilling.
Her footsteps stomped angrily on the dead branches in the forest, making a creaking sound. Each creaking sound seemed to poke An Qingran's heart. She could not help but hug the baby in her arms tightly. He was the source of all her strength now.
Maybe it was because of the tension, the sudden rescue, and her weak body to begin with. As An Qingran walked, her legs became weak. Dongfang Run, who had been walking with his head down, seemed not to look at her, but supported her as quickly as possible. An Qingran stood firm and said thank you softly.
But keep going.
Fortunately, there was a horse carriage at the bottom of the mountain. The master and servant got on the carriage. Honeysuckle was already pale and smiled bitterly, "Crown Princess, it's all my fault. If I hadn't held you back, you wouldn't have been caught."
"How can I blame you? You even blocked the sword for me. Come to think of it, it should be so. We should have expected this. Dongfang Run will not give up looking for me. He must know that I haven't returned to the palace yet. Besides, this is his territory now. We can't escape..."
"Knowing this, why don't we stay at Aunt Qiu's place for a few more days?"
"I'm afraid he will find us sooner or later." An Qingran said this with a wry smile, "Fortunately, he found us. At least it's better than falling into the hands of those evil people."
"Yes, I was scared to death." Honeysuckle moved her body, grimacing in pain, "But if we go back this time, I'm afraid it will be impossible for us to get out."
An Qingran did not answer, but her face showed sadness. She could not help but hug the baby tightly. The baby was sleeping soundly and pouted. An Qingran could not help but smile and said softly: "Baby, did you know the danger and call for help for us? It's a pity that it wasn't your father who came..."
At this moment, Honeysuckle had fainted from the pain.
The carriage continued to move forward and soon returned to the villa. When they got off the carriage, they did not see the people who served them last time. Soon, a team of neat maids came and looked very skilled.
An Qingran knew that she was certainly being guarded against.
Finally, everyone left. Dongfang Run stood at the door, looking at her quietly, with scrutiny and some pain in his eyes: "Do you really want to go back?"
"Yes, my husband is the prince. Sooner or later, I will return to him. The prince knows this very well..." An Qingran didn't finish her words. The child started crying and she was busy coaxing him.
Humming softly and gently, the baby opened his eyes, looking at An Qingran brightly, and then the corners of his little mouth kept moving, he was hungry.
An Qingran looked up at Dongfang Run: "The child is hungry..."
Dongfang Run turned and walked out.
After feeding her son, An Qingran walked out and saw that there were more than a dozen people in the yard. This time she did not hide herself but just stood there quietly, guarding the door.
Rendong is next door and the doctor has bandaged her. Although her injuries are serious, her life is safe and her leg can be saved. Isn't this a blessing in disguise? An Qingran lets Rendong live with her so that she can take care of her.
Honeysuckle lives in a small bed. An Qingran is afraid that she will be bored, so she lets the baby accompany her.
The baby was full, and was sucking his fingers quietly, his eyes fixed on honeysuckle. Suddenly he took his fingers away and made a sound, as if he was talking to honeysuckle.
Rendong was so excited that she didn't dare to shout loudly. She quickly waved to An Qingran and pointed at the baby. The baby's eyes turned from Rendong to An Qingran and he laughed in a very childish voice. An Qingran squinted her eyes and smiled. She was so happy at that moment that she couldn't express it in words. At this moment, Dongfang Run asked to see her, and she nodded.
Dongfang Run walked in and was stunned when he saw the baby. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he remembered something: "What's his name?"
"I haven't chosen a name yet..." An Qingran said gently, "Is Sister Lou in good health now?"
Hearing about Lou Wanyue, Dongfang Run frowned and nodded gently: "It's okay, it's just that the child cries day and night..."
When An Qingran heard him talk about the child, his face lit up with the radiance of a father, and he couldn't help but take the opportunity to ask, "How is the war going ahead?"
"Don't worry, Dongfang Jin is not dead." Dongfang Run smiled bitterly, "And he almost defeated our army. I really underestimated him before."
"But he had never looked down on the Crown Prince before, and always thought that he was a humble gentleman. He never expected that there would be such a disaster today, with brothers turning against each other and years of friendship being destroyed in an instant. If the late emperor had a spirit, he would not want to see such a scene."
"After all, my father is the late emperor's flesh and blood."
"The emperor too." An Qingran said, "You clearly know it, so your excuse for slandering the emperor is untenable. The prince will definitely find evidence."
"So what? They are not the legitimate descendants of the late emperor after all..." When Dongfang Run said this, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes. He looked at An Qingran, and the resentment in his heart slowly accumulated. If his father was the emperor, he would definitely be the prince.
Then why should I give way to Dongfang Jin?
Then I can ask my father to grant me a marriage. Why should I live like this, where I can never get what I want?
An Qingran had no idea what he was thinking, but she felt that his eyes were not right, so she said, "This matter will eventually come to a conclusion. Is the prince happy now?"
"Yes, one day, I will get what I want, and then I will be happy." Dongfang Run said meaningfully, "You are here, don't think about running away, there is chaos outside, I have been looking for you for so long..."
Having said this, he sighed. She didn't know how scared she was.
An Qingran nodded slightly: "Okay, I won't run away."
Dongfang Run didn't believe it, but didn't say anything. He turned around and went out. Soon, the maids brought supplies, including small clothes for the baby, and a wet nurse.
An Qingran felt a little touched.
But in this life, she has chosen Dongfang Jin, and she will never let other people enter her heart.
Honeysuckle didn't say anything and looked a little depressed.
An Qingran of course understood what she was thinking and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
She knew that this war would end one day, but she didn't know what the ending would be. Could either side bear it?
The Queen Mother has already left the palace. She had planned all of this long ago, but unfortunately she was one step slower than her and did not expect things to become so serious. An Qingran felt a little guilty.
She vaguely felt that this rebellion was closely related to her rebirth. She had changed the fate of many people, so all this happened by chance.
She only prayed that God would forgive her and bring all the consequences of the suffering of the people on her. She hoped that her children and the prince would not be implicated.
Dongfang Run returned to his yard.
This is not far from the farewell courtyard.
It’s close, about ten miles away.
As soon as he entered the yard, he heard crying. The child had been sick for the past few days, so he blamed himself very much. If it hadn't been for the incident, the child would not have been born prematurely.
When he entered the room, Lou Wanyue was so anxious that she was stamping her feet. When she saw him coming, her face darkened and she said nothing. She sat beside the child, watching the nanny coaxing the child with a frighteningly gloomy face.
Dongfang Run had become accustomed to her expression. She had never given him a good look since the incident.
The nurse went out carrying the child.
Dongfang Run sat down, but Lou Wanyue still didn't speak.
In the end, it was Dongfang Run who spoke up: "Child, what did the doctor say?"
Lou Wanyue felt awkward, but she was not a shrew, so she said, "The doctor said it was just a cold stomach, nothing serious."
"That's good...you should take care of yourself too."
If Dongfang Run could say such words in the past, Lou Wanyue would not know how moved she would be. But now it is different from the past. She only feels depressed. She didn't even know anything about such a big thing, and it put her mother's family in complete danger.
"Have you asked for me again? Are your father and mother okay?" Although Lou Wanyue was angry, she still relied on Dongfang Run to bring back the news, so she could only hate herself for being incompetent and became more angry.
"The spies reported that the Prime Minister's residence is surrounded by garrisons and no one is allowed to approach. But we got news that Dongfang Jin did not make things difficult for the Prime Minister's family." Dongfang Run sighed, "Because my father knew that the Prime Minister would not agree. If he contacted him, the news would only leak out, so he..."
This is his explanation.
Lou Wanyue still couldn't accept it.
What's more, she knew that he had almost no heart for her.
Perhaps the superficial respect is also for the sake of the children.
"If anything happens to my parents..." Before Lou Wanyue could finish her words, tears fell down. She couldn't say the threatening words, but her meaning was conveyed.
Dongfang Run stood up with a sullen face: "I have something else to do..."
After saying that, he left.
Looking at his back, Lou Wanyue felt even more heartbroken and almost burst into tears...
Get up early.
An Qingran felt sore all over, and it seemed that the wound of Honeysuckle was stretched and started bleeding again. An Qingran looked at the mountains in the distance and knew that if he could go out, he could pick some herbs. As soon as he went out, someone followed him, pretending to be respectful but actually monitoring him.
"Honeysuckle's wound is stretched, I need some medicinal herbs..."
"Madam can tell us and we will go get some medicine. Or call a doctor." A little maid said with a smile.
The doctor is here again.
An Qingran looked at him, which made the doctor feel guilty and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
An Qingran smiled: "Your medical skills are not bad, but they are a little biased. If you add two more herbs, it will be fine... I have the silver."
The maids were watching around, so she had no chance to talk to the doctor. Fortunately, she had prepared beforehand and hid the written things on her body. When she turned around, she had already taken out the things and the silver.
