Two years ago, Beirong sent troops to attack Daqi, but Daqi captured several cities in return. The old Beirong king fell seriously ill and died in anger. Helian Rongxia then became the new king of Beirong from the position of Beirong's crown prince.
He then sent a team of assassins to infiltrate Da Qi, and asked Bai Furen to contact Prince An and others. He joined forces with Bai Ruoli who had sneaked into the harem to find out Mo Qiyuan's whereabouts, set up an ambush in the royal forest, and prepared to kill him with one blow.
But unexpectedly, Mo Qiyuan escaped from death and pretended to be seriously ill to make plans, almost eradicating all the spies of Beirong in Da Qi. Many of Bai Furen's secret agents were wiped out at that time.
So Helian Rongxia directly ordered Bai Ruoli to lurk in the harem, and sent someone from Beirong to deliver the killing weapon he had specially prepared to deal with Mo Qiyuan, so that he could attack Mo Qiyuan as soon as he had the chance to get close to him.
But unexpectedly, Mo Qiyuan already had Ye Jinyun at this time, so he no longer cared about the other concubines in the harem.
Bai Ruoli couldn't even get close to him, so Bai Ruoli turned to getting rid of Ye Jinyun in order to get a chance to get close to Mo Qiyuan.
In the dark night, Mo Qiyuan digested this information, looking at the Prime Minister's Mansion filled with wailing, and said coldly:
"Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion will be killed without mercy!"
Lin Qingtang looked at his stern back and spoke anxiously:
"Your Majesty, since Bai Ruoli is Helian Rongxia's confidant, is she planning to abduct Jinyun and the child back to Beirong to threaten you?"
Wei Lingfeng also echoed:
"Your Majesty, I think so too. Northern Rong and Great Qi are currently at war. If she brings the Empress and the Crown Prince back to Northern Rong and presents them to Helian Rongxia, then you will surely consider the lives of the Empress and her son and abandon the captured cities. Therefore, she and her men will definitely flee to Northern Rong."
"Tomorrow, if there is no news from the city, you two will lead the troops to accompany me out of the capital and head to the northern border. I will definitely bring them back." Mo Qiyuan said with his fists clenched.
He stared at the soldiers who were searching the capital's citizens house by house, hoping that they would find the person in the next house they searched.
…
At this time, Ye Jinyun, who had left the capital, had already left the night fragrance barrel and was taken to a small mountain village to be disguised.
In an ordinary thatched hut, Ye Jinyun was taking off her outer clothes slowly. Bai Ruoli and Caiyu were also changing clothes in the same place with her.
They had to take off all the gorgeous clothes they wore from the palace and put on coarse linen clothes to disguise themselves as ordinary people.
Bai Ruoli looked at Ye Jinyun's dawdling and knew she was stalling for time, so she spoke:
"Hurry up, or I'll operate on your son."
When Ye Jinyun heard this, he looked at his son who was still sleeping next to Bai Ruoli. Ye Jin frowned and stopped hesitating.
After changing clothes, she had to take off her jewelry and comb her hair into a bun like an ordinary woman. After Ye Jinyun took off her bracelets and earrings, she touched the hairpin on her head.
Suddenly Ye Jinyun's hand stopped and she remembered something.
One of the three fake death pills she made when she first entered the palace was placed in the hairpin she was wearing today.
Since she gave birth to a child, she was afraid that the sharp jewelry on her body would scratch him, so she always chose jewelry with a round surface.
The pieces of jewelry she used to hold the pills were specially made for her by her eldest brother. Inside was a hollow gold-carved longevity lock and a peony flower hairpin decorated with a ruby. The peony flower was three-dimensional and could be opened, just enough to hold a pill.
There is another one, which is the white jade hairpin with gold beads and flowers that she is wearing on her head today. The largest gold bead is gold-plated and hollow. It can be opened by twisting the mechanism designed on the bead flower.
Because this hairpin is round and made of jade and not sharp, Ye Jinyun has been wearing it on her head recently.
After she thought of this, she quietly turned around to look at Bai Ruoli and her servant who were recombing their hair.
So when they weren't paying attention, he took off the hairpin, turned the mechanism, took out the pill from it and secretly put it into her underwear.
Anyway, when she made the pill, she wrapped it with a layer of wax and gold paper, so it wouldn't melt easily.
And although Bai Ruoli asked her to disguise herself, she only asked her to change her outer clothes and did not ask her to change her inner clothes as well.
So the pill was kept by Ye Jinyun without anyone noticing.
After changing clothes, Bai Ruoli got a carriage from somewhere, disguised herself as a commoner visiting relatives in the capital, and took Ye Jinyun and her son on their journey overnight.
Bai Ruoli knew very well that if Mo Qiyuan couldn't find Ye Jinyun and her son in the capital, he would definitely send people to track them down, so she chose remote roads along the way. Unless she really needed supplies, she would stay in some small towns for half a day.
However, every time she went into the city for supplies, she would not bring Ye Jinyun with her. She only took Caiyu and the other two into the city to buy things, while the other two subordinates stayed behind to look after Ye Jinyun and her son.
Ye Jinyun was looking for opportunities along the way, but Bai Ruoli was cautious and made it impossible for her to escape for a while.
So, when she saw that she couldn't run away, she tried her best to act well-behaved, which made Bai Ruoli return her son to her and hold him in her arms.
At first, Bai Ruoli didn't plan to return her son, but the child was too young and needed milk when he was hungry and needed to be changed when he urinated.
Bai Ruoli really didn't know how to do these things, which caused Ye Jinyun's son to cry loudly all the time. Ye Jinyun was anxious on the side, and several times he attracted the attention of passers-by on the road.
So in order to reduce the risk of being discovered, Bai Ruoli returned the child to Ye Jinyun. After Ye Jinyun held her son back to her side, she felt like a piece of her heart was being cut out when she heard her son's voice become hoarse from crying.
So she discussed with Bai Ruoli, telling her that she would not run away and asked her not to worry. She also asked her to let her hold her son in her arms in the future and not to take him away after feeding him, so that it would not delay her journey.
Bai Ruoli thought about it and realized that it was true, so she stopped separating the mother and son, which made Ye Jinyun breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Ye Jinyun was feeding the child in the carriage.
Bai Ruoli sat aside with her eyes closed, resting. She heard the sound of the child sucking milk, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Ye Jinyun and said:
"If I had known your son was so well behaved in your arms, I wouldn't have insisted on holding him a few days ago. It was all in vain and I couldn't sleep well for a few days."
Ye Jinyun smiled at her, trying his best to appear harmless:
"My son is too young, and it's inevitable that he'll cry and make a fuss when he's away from his mother. I'm sorry to bother Miss Bai, but please don't be angry. I'll take care of him myself from now on, and he won't cry or make a fuss anymore."
Bai Ruoli nodded in agreement and stopped talking to her. She closed her eyes and continued to rest. She had been tormented by this little devil these past few days.
