“But the Crown Prince has already confiscated the property in Li Family Village, so it’s still very dangerous there. You’re probably going to suffer some losses. Anshi, go out and change the driver. When you get off the carriage, don’t stop. Have the driver and the general jump off together.”
"good."
After Meng Anshi left, Ling Wu tore off the blood-stained cloth from her wrist; thankfully, it was fake.
"Jump!"
My father, so old and a general, just jumped out of the window like that.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. General Ji is in good health and can handle this little grievance."
Are you hurt?
"They're not going to hurt me yet. Anshi, let's take the path in the woods. We'll leave after another short walk."
"good."
"Can my sister-in-law walk?"
Her eyes seemed to know what had happened in the tent, and I guiltily said yes.
"Senior brother, you're really something. It's not like we can't see each other, why are you in such a hurry?"
"No, it's not his fault."
"Don't worry, we'll be there in no time."
"Didn't you say it was in the back mountain?"
"It is indeed in the back mountain, but there is an underground road that goes directly there, so it takes very little time."
How could I forget? She's an expert in divination and stratagems. Last time, it was she who managed to dodge those arrows.
"But my sister-in-law thought differently from me; she didn't even flinch when she saw so many arrows."
"It would be good to die together with him."
"Haha, just kidding, we're getting off the bus."
I was so petty back then, I held a grudge against her. She's a very straightforward and sincere person.
When Lingwu said "abandon the carriage," she meant letting the carriage move forward automatically, and she rolled out with me in her arms.
"Goodness, thank goodness my husband isn't here. If he saw me holding a handsome young man, he'd probably stab me to death with his Ice and Snow Sword."
"I."
"Let's go."
After I stood up, I barely kept up with their pace, cursing Xie Yuancheng hundreds of times in my mind.
Later, Meng Anshi couldn't stand it anymore and said that he had offended me and left behind my back.
We first entered a cave, then walked through it, and after we came out, we saw Li Zhaole's carriage.
Li Zhaole woke up as soon as he got into the carriage. "Your Highness, you've finally arrived. Is this girl here to take care of me? She looks so fierce."
"I'm not taking care of you, I'm just sending you to the underworld."
"Princess, she is a heroine who risked her life to save us from this dire situation."
Lingwu secretly tugged at my clothes, and I changed my tune.
"Thank you so much for saving me, my lady. I was very rude earlier."
"You seem alright, so it's not like I saved the wrong person."
Li Zhaole and Ling Wu actually started chatting, and Ling Wu even put her hand on her stomach: "Is there really a baby here?"
"Yes, she's still very young, less than two months old."
“I have a sister-in-law. When she was pregnant, I passed through Linyang and originally wanted to visit her, but I was delayed and ended up coming to Sizhou instead.”
"Your sister-in-law is in Linyang? That's the territory of the Marquis of Anle. She really knows how to choose."
"I will definitely choose it."
I'm speechless. These two are not even on the same level.
The carriage ride was very smooth this time, and I fell asleep as soon as I heard them talking.
When I woke up, I didn't know where I was; all around me were shimmering mountains.
"Your Highness, wake up. It's already afternoon. Would you like some lunch?"
I shook my head; the carriage was too bumpy, and I didn't have a good appetite.
"Where is that chivalrous woman?"
"She left early this morning. If she were from an official family, I would have liked her to keep you company. The chivalrous woman even covered you with a blanket when she left, I had completely forgotten about it."
I never want to have any more romantic entanglements with girls, or Xie Yuancheng will be furious.
"Let's skip it."
"That's true. There's constant infighting in the palace, and even the Crown Prince's palace isn't immune. When I left the palace, the Crown Princess was punished by my mother. Fortunately, Consort Ji helped protect her. However, I heard that Consort Ji was going to be punished when she returned from Linyang last time."
"Why is the Empress targeting the Crown Princess, and why is Consort Ji being punished?"
"My mother has always been dissatisfied with the Crown Princess. She wanted Shen Jun to marry the Crown Prince. At that time, the palace was in a state of panic. Consort Ji actually stood up for her, which is why I agreed to come to Linyang with her."
"Her." All the women in the palace are equally miserable, so why make things difficult for each other?
"Don't worry, Prince Consort, I won't lose my temper with that palace maid anymore. If you like her, I'll have someone bring her back from Linyang."
"No need, you should focus on taking care of your health."
"The child in my womb was saved thanks to General Ji and you, and General Yan and the chivalrous men also accompanied us along the way. The Crown Prince is a real scoundrel; he actually tried to use the child in my womb to blackmail Brother Yu."
"Does he know you're pregnant?"
“He doesn’t know. I just want to have some connection with him. If he finds out, things will get really bad in Dongqin. He had no choice but to ascend the throne to clear his mother’s name. Once he got on, it was already a bloodbath. If he comes down, he’ll lose his life.”
Li Zhaole's eyes softened whenever she mentioned Lin Yu, even though she had badmouthed him in front of everyone last time. This is truly love.
If I were in the same situation as Xie Yuancheng, I would not hesitate to protect him as well.
The journey was smooth, but the roads were bad, consisting of either country lanes or mountain paths.
I vomited several times after getting out of the car, and I looked even weaker than Li Zhaole.
"Your Highness, how come you're even weaker than me? My morning sickness wasn't as bad as yours." Li Zhaole patted me on the back to help me catch my breath. Suddenly, I started to feel scared. Could she be pregnant again?
I calmed myself down, had Li Zhaole sit down, and then went out to have Meng Anshi find a place with a doctor.
I'm carrying those things with me, and if they're really in my arms, I absolutely cannot accept them.
"lady?"
Meng Anshi lowered his voice, and only when General Yan rode ahead to clear the way did he change his address.
Don't tell him.
Meng Anshi immediately understood. He told me to go in first and continued driving.
"Prince Consort, what did you say to the chivalrous man?"
"It's nothing, just asking him to find a doctor to take a look at both of us."
"Thank you so much."
Li Zhaole was still inexperienced, and she quickly came to terms with things, but she would still scold the Crown Prince whenever she had free time.
In the evening, we stopped in a very secluded deep mountain area.
I helped Li Zhaole down. She was pregnant and was still bouncing around, which made me want to remind her to be careful.
"Does the prince consort have an illegitimate child outside, which is why he knows so much?" I knew she was joking, but he does have a child, not an illegitimate one.
Meng Anshi knocked on the door of a family; they must know each other, for they let us stay so easily.
General Yan was very easygoing; once he found a place, he went to sleep with his knife in his arms.
He also has a family, yet he chooses to walk a dangerous path to make a living.
The family she stayed with was very hospitable. They first took Li Zhaole's pulse, told her that the fetus was normal, and advised her to pay attention to some things.
She listened with great interest; she must be very happy to be pregnant with the child of the person she loves.
