After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her

The capital city has been under martial law for nearly half a month. It is said that spies from the Rongdi tribe have infiltrated the city. The Minister of War Wang Shumian is personally in charge of the situation. Every city gate is heavily guarded by troops. Anyone who wants to enter or leave the capital city must go through layers of inspection.

Cui Yuanqing, dressed in indigo uniform, sat on the top floor of Hongyan Tower, staring at the surging Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in a trance. The noble young man who used to be as gentle as jade now looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his thin shoulders seemed to be shaky by the window.

"Master, all the people who went out of the city to track have returned, and there is no trace of Madam. Madam, she..." Thinking of his expression, he was not as gloomy and scary as in the past few days, so he dared to continue, "Madam, she seems to have disappeared out of thin air, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find her..."

Siwei finished his words tremblingly, ready to be scolded. He waited for a while, but still heard no movement.

Cui Yuanqing stared at the dock like a statue, and said slowly, "Keep looking, she hasn't left the city."

Siwei could not help but retort, "Master, the city has been searched many times. Even Minister Lu and the Duan family's servants have sneaked in. If the lady is still here, there is definitely no place for her to hide."

Cui Yuanqing's tone remained unchanged: "She can't let go of the Cheng family, and the Cheng family's affairs are almost settled. When my father-in-law comes home, it will be the day she leaves the city. Guard all the city gates and don't let anyone out by mistake."

Siwei didn't dare to refute anymore, so he just responded and left.

Cui Yuanqing's eyes were dull, and his heart sank with each passing day. Cheng Songan had disappeared for half a month without a trace. She had not left the city, but he could not find her.

He remembered that day clearly. Until she asked, "Yuan Qing, do you feel dizzy?", he was still immersed in her tenderness in calling him Yuan Qing. He did not realize that when she stroked his hair, she inserted the silver needle soaked in anesthetic into his acupuncture points.

She has been dealing with Xue Tingrong for a long time and doesn't mind learning some of the villain's methods.

Cui Yuanqing immediately pulled out a dagger from his boot and stabbed his arm to keep himself awake. However, Cheng Songan reacted faster than him and pulled out the long sword hidden under the table and pointed it at his chest.

She said softly: "Don't push me."

Cui Yuanqing saw a trace of sadness on her pretending to be calm face. He didn't understand. Fighting the dizziness brought by the drug, he took a step towards her and asked, "Why do you have to leave? Yun Dai, how can I keep you here?"

Cheng Songan frowned: "Give me back my life."

Cui Yuanqing: "Okay."

Cheng Songan's hand trembled, and the tip of the sword pointing at his chest deviated an inch.

The next moment, Cui Yuanqing grasped the sword and rushed forward with his chest, making a dull sound of the sharp blade piercing through the flesh.

Cui Yuanqing's face was pale, and he was in so much pain that he half-knelt on the ground. He still looked up and asked her, "I'll give you half of my life first, Yun Dai. You stay. I want to be with you forever. I'll pay you back with the rest of my life, okay?"

Cheng Songan's tears fell heavily on his face. She wiped them away in panic and replied with a hard heart: "Don't even think about it, Cui Yuanqing, I hate you, unless you die..."

She then half-knelt in front of him, supported his shoulders, held the sword, pushed it a few inches deeper, and said word by word, "Go to hell."

"Boom!" There was a muffled thunder, and raindrops as big as beans fell. The strong wind made the windows rattle. As the windows opened and closed, Cheng Songan's tear-stained face flickered.

Cui Yuanqing held her tightly with both hands, tears mixed with blood fell on her chest. He was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, and could only ask intermittently: "Why are you crying? Yun Dai, why are you crying?"

Luo Luonu ran over, meowing around Cui Yuanqing, and nudged Cheng Songan's belly, tilting his little head back and calling anxiously.

Cheng Songan took deep breaths to prevent herself from breaking down and crying. She covered Cui Yuanqing's wound and silently said, "It's okay, Luo Luonu, you stay with him, I'm leaving."

Cui Yuanqing's remaining consciousness made him still hold her hand tightly, and said, "Don't go..."

Cheng Songan pried open his fingers and said word by word: "In the previous life, it was the King of Xiang who came to the throne. This cannot be changed. Cui Yuanqing, remember, hate me and hate the Cheng family."

Cui Yuanqing struggled to shake his head, but he was so numb from the pain that he couldn't even do that. Only his eyes were still bright, pleading with the person who was about to leave.

Cheng Songan hesitated for a moment, hugged Cui Yuanqing's lowered head, and whispered softly in his ear.

Then she opened the door, her voice back to normal: "Ask her to pick me up."

Before Cui Yuanqing fainted, he saw Cheng Songan look back at him. There was no hatred in her eyes, only the love he had only seen in dreams.

Where is she going? Who is going to pick her up?

Yun Dai, why are you crying?

……

The side yard of Zangxin Mountain House.

Taxue walked into the room lightly, put the medicine bowl on the table, and said softly, "Miss, the medicine is ready. You don't need to drink it again after you finish this dose."

Cheng Songan took it and drank it all in one breath without complaining about the bitterness. He asked uncertainly, "We will be on the road for at least a month, or even two or three months. Can this child really bear it?"

Taxue wiped the corners of her mouth and comforted her, "Don't worry, the doctor said that your pregnancy is very safe, so we dared to let you take that pill to create the illusion of miscarriage. Now you have been taking care of yourself for another half a month, so there will be no problem."

Cheng Songan nodded and asked, "Are Wanxin and Haitang okay?"

Taxue replied: "According to the young lady's instructions, I didn't dare to tell the second young lady, nor did I dare to contact Sister Haitang frequently, for fear that the adults would find out. We will leave Beijing in a few days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take Sister Haitang with me."

As if to ease the atmosphere, she smiled in a relaxed manner, "At the beginning, you joked that if you ever leave Cui Mansion, you must take me with you and not Sister Haitang. Has your oath that day really come true?"

Cheng Songan's eyes reddened, and he forced a smile and said, "Haitang lived for me for twenty years. It was part of my plan not to bring her along this time."

The person Haitang has been thinking about for so many years is now in Beijing. Letting her stay here quietly and watch from afar is the only thing Cheng Songan can do for her.

Cheng Songan didn't wait for the tears to fall, and quickly changed the subject: "Did the princess send any more news?"

Taxue handed her the message sent by the pigeon and said, "Because of your righteous act, the emperor pardoned the women of the Cheng family and allowed them to return to the palace. However, the evidence for exoneration has not yet been found. Mr. Cheng has not been able to escape punishment for the time being and has been demoted to a commoner. He is not allowed to enter or leave the capital without an imperial decree."

Cheng Songan nodded: "The princess has done most of what she promised me, and I will leave as soon as possible as promised."

Taxue was a little worried: "Miss, they are a couple of one mind. Can we really believe that Princess Xiang will ignore Prince Xiang to help you?"

Cheng Songan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but one thing is for sure, I am useful to Princess Xiang, she is protecting me, that's enough."

The first piece of information she received from Haitang after she was released from prison was from Lu Qingshan, that the case of privately manufacturing weapons was closely related to King Xiang.

Prince Xiang was too anxious. He only saw that Prince Shou was powerful, while Prince Jin had been suspected and there would never be anyone who could compete with Prince Shou in the future. He also heard that Xue Tingrong had died suddenly, so he put the blame on Cheng Songan. Therefore, he took the risk of joining forces with Zhao Huaisong and brought down the Cheng family as a token of his allegiance to win over Zhao Huaisong.

This means that he no longer places all his hopes on Cui Yuanqing. The King of Xiang is short-sighted, but the Princess of Xiang is very long-term, but as a woman, she can only do so much, she can only start with Cheng Songan to save the Cheng family for her, and in exchange, Cheng Songan must be willing to be the Princess of Xiang's thread, a thread used to maintain a cooperative relationship with Cui Yuanqing, and also a thread used to contain Cui Yuanqing.
