After the concubine ran away with the baby, the abstinent prince went crazy

Yan Qingning thought that Xia Yu might be taking care of her pregnant belly, so he walked and stopped.

But she felt uneasy. This place was too close to Beijing. She hadn’t walked a hundred miles in seven or eight days. She was really afraid that Chu Beiqing would catch up with her.

Xia Yu concealed his expression and said, "Your body is not suitable for long-distance travel. It is better to rest enough before going."

Yan Qingning was not an ignorant girl who was unaware of the world. She immediately noticed Xia Yu's subtle expression and said, "If Sister Xia Yu is in trouble, then we should separate."

Xia Yu was stunned and quickly explained, "No, Ning'er, don't misunderstand, I'm not embarrassed..."

"Then Sister Xia Yu, please tell me the actual situation. There is no need to hide it from me. This is originally my business. Sister Xia Yu cannot bear the pressure alone." Yan Qingning said seriously: "I asked Sister Xia Yu for help, not to embarrass her."

Xia Yu didn't want her to be so perceptive. He knew that if he kept it a secret from her, he would only lead her to misunderstand. He sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, King Qing already knows that I kidnapped you, and has sealed me off in the water and clouds of various places..."

The purpose is self-evident, to force her to hand over the person.

Yan Qingning was immediately annoyed when he heard this, "This bastard..."

After a moment's thought, she realized that Cheng Wanshuang, the useless guy, couldn't hold it in and vomited it all out.

Otherwise, if she selectively explained, she would definitely not be able to find Xia Yu.

Yan Qingning thought for a while, and when she looked up, she immediately said, "How about this, Sister Xia Yu, you should leave first. As long as Chu Beiqing's people see you alone, you can make a few false statements and you can get away with it."

Xia Yu immediately objected, "No, you're pregnant, how can I leave you alone, don't worry..."

Yan Qingning smiled and said, "No, Sister Xia Yu, I will hide here. If Chu Beiqing really has great connections and finds this place, at worst, I will just go back with him."

When asking for help, do it within their ability.

If you go beyond other people's capabilities and cause trouble to them, then you are going against your original intention.

I was going too far.

But in Xia Yu's opinion, being able to escape from Chu Beiqing's hands for a hundred miles was something he should be proud of.

Xia Yu followed Yan Qingning's thoughts and thought carefully for a while, then smiled, "I have an idea, Ning'er, how about this, you hide here first, I'll go outside and confuse King Qing, after a while, when King Qing relaxes his guard, I'll come back to find you."

Yan Qingning's eyes lit up, and she agreed, "That's exactly what I meant."

But Xia Yu suddenly said: "By the way, I received news from the capital today that Yan Xiwei died in the Ruiwang Mansion..."

Yan Qingning had not expected this news. She sat up straight immediately, her face full of surprise. "Yan Xiwei died in the Rui Palace?"

Xia Yu nodded, "It's been a hot topic in the capital, with all kinds of rumors. I heard that Prince Rui managed to survive, but some people said that his foundation was damaged and he will need medicine for the rest of his life.

Some people also said that the King of Rui coughed up blood all day and couldn't even get up from his bed. "

Yan Qingning was silent for a moment after hearing this, then chuckled. She finally understood what Chu Beiqing meant when he said to her, "believe in him."

As expected, Chu Beiqing is a sinister person.

No matter what the real situation is, Chu Yuanli's situation is very bad.

Then Xia Yu continued, "Also, I heard that King Qing seemed to be provoked and drove all the women in the backyard out of the palace. This matter caused quite a big fuss..."

This made Yan Qingning even more surprised, and she felt inexplicably guilty and uneasy.

Seeing her expression like this, Xia Yu also became a little nervous. He didn't dare to say anything to persuade her to go back. He was really afraid that she would be killed by King Qing in a fit of rage.

But when she saw Yan Qingning's belly, she comforted her, "Don't worry, Ning'er. I think King Qing is a noble man and he won't do anything to you. You don't need to be so nervous."

Yan Qingning swallowed silently and did not dare to tell the truth to Xia Yu. If she knew what she had done to Chu Beiqing, she would definitely not say that.

After the two of them made their plans, Xia Yu set out before dawn the next day and headed in another direction.

Eight days later

Xia Yu couldn't stand the pressure from Chu Beiqing, so when he brought Chu Beiqing to the courtyard, he found that Yan Qingning had already left.

Under Chu Beiqing's deathly gaze, Xia Yu felt cold all over, and hurriedly asked the old woman guarding the yard, "When did you leave?"

The old woman looked worried: "The day after you left, Madam Ning left..."

Xia Yu was a little annoyed, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of it? Why did you let him go?"

The old woman also looked aggrieved. "Master, please spare my life. I only ate a piece of cake made by Madam Ning, and then slept for more than a day. No, I don't know when Madam Ning left."

Xia Yu, who was not worried at first, suddenly became panicked. Yan Qingning was pregnant and there was no one around her.

Who knows if she will have an accident.

Xia Yu was annoyed. How could she not see by now that Ning'er valued friendship and didn't want to implicate her, so she tricked her away.

She left on her own.

She took it for granted. Xia Yu felt so guilty that she immediately knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry. It's Xia Yu's fault. Xia Yu will let you deal with me."

Chu Beiqing's eyes were sharp and cold, "Did she leave anything behind?"

After he reminded her, the old woman remembered something and said immediately, "Oh, right..."

As she spoke, she got up and went to the cabinet, and took out a letter from her dressing table. "This is from Madam Ning."

Chu Beiqing took it and unfolded it neatly. On it was written Yan Qingning's overly flamboyant handwriting: [Chu Beiqing, Xia Yu owes me a favor...

So it was me who took advantage of Xia Yu and deceived her. She didn't know I was pregnant, and she only helped me out of a favor.

What happens between us has nothing to do with others, so don't involve innocent people.

Oh, and besides, I’m still young and don’t want to have children, so I can handle it myself. Well, don’t look for me anymore, we’re too far away! 】

She is so selfish and rational that she can do anything.

Chu Beiqing's face was as pale as snow. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze. He clenched the letter in his hand tightly, as if he was pinching Yan Qingning's neck.

The veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

Just when the old woman was about to faint from fright, Chu Beiqing suddenly turned around and strode away.

As soon as the man left, Xia Yu sat on the ground, his vest soaked with sweat.

But then, Xia Yu's fear of Chu Beiqing turned into worry and anxiety towards Yan Qingning.

Immediately, a pigeon was sent to all the people in the Shuiyunjian branch, asking them to keep an eye out for Yan Qingning's whereabouts.

Time flies and three months have passed.

The drizzle was like a poem or a dream. A pregnant figure with a bulging belly was holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand.

Carefully supported by a little girl of about eleven or twelve, he walked slowly on the bluestone road.

The sound of dense drizzle hitting the umbrella reveals a sense of peaceful time.

"Sister, what are we having for lunch?"

The little girl was a little hungry and couldn't help asking.
