Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Jiang Nianwei sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery along the way, gradually leaving the territory of the capital.

She gently stroked her belly, where a new life was quietly growing, which made her heart surge with warmth.

She took a deep breath and thought to herself: Although the plan of faking death is clever, her own safety is of utmost importance and there cannot be any mistakes.

To do this, she needs to carefully select a location so that the "death" scene can be both realistic and safe.

The guards accompanying her are not ordinary people, and given Ah Zhao's meticulous nature, they will definitely secretly deploy heavy guards to protect her.

If there really is someone with evil intentions who wants to do something evil, it must be a carefully planned assassination. The location must be both secret and convenient to carry out in order to be foolproof.

She observed and asked along the way and finally found a suitable position.

Hidden in the winding path leading to Mount Wutai is a particularly steep mountain road. Its steepness seems as if it was deliberately carved by nature, which is daunting.

Once you lose your footing, there is no way back, you will fall into the deep cliff, with no hope of life or death.

If those people took action, they would definitely choose that mountain road and could easily push themselves off the cliff.

Jiang Nianwei had already made a plan in mind. She quietly dispatched reliable people in the caravan to make secret arrangements on the dangerous road to ensure that even if she unfortunately "stumbled", she would still have a chance of survival and escape the clutches of death.

Along the way, she suffered from pregnancy discomfort. Only the sweet and sour plums could slightly relieve her churning stomach and allow her to move forward.

There was no other way, she could only endure it. If the plan succeeded, she could live in seclusion, look for Fu Siya, and enjoy the mountains and rivers with her.

Jiang Nianwei curled up on the soft seat of the carriage, with a blanket gently draped over her shoulders. In a half-asleep and half-awake state, she seemed to hear someone whispering, gently calling her "Sister".

She thought it was a dream and did not think much about it until her consciousness gradually became clear. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Ah Bei's figure sitting quietly in a corner of the carriage.

"Abei, am I hallucinating? Why are you here?"

"Sister wants to go to Mount Wutai, but why didn't you tell me in advance?" Ah Bei's tone was a little reproachful, but he couldn't hide his concern for Jiang Nianwei.

Jiang Nianwei's hand reached out unconsciously and touched Abei's slightly cold fingers. The sense of reality instantly dispelled the doubts in her heart.

Jiang Nianwei felt a wave of dizziness coming over her, and she said softly, "I just want to go to the temple to pray quietly, and I won't really encounter any accidents. You are entangled in many affairs in the army, so why do you need to worry about such a small matter yourself?"

"No, I want to go with you." Meng Huaibei's tone was firm. If Jiang Lanxu had not informed him in time, he would still be kept in the dark.

After hearing the news, he immediately rode his horse at full speed, just to catch up with her. Fortunately, God helped those who worked hard, and he finally caught up with her.

Looking at her leaning weakly in the carriage, Meng Huaibei's heart tightened involuntarily and he felt a surge of pity.

"If you are not feeling well, this trip will be cancelled."

Jiang Nianwei shook her head slightly and forced a smile: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of acclimatization."

"Is praying so important? He actually agreed to something like this and let you come out alone."

Meng Huaibei complained, "But it doesn't matter, I will protect you."

Jiang Nianwei's heart was filled with ripples, and worry crept up her eyebrows. If Abei was by her side, this carefully planned plan would undoubtedly be full of thorns and difficult to implement.

She had to use a clever trick to get him to leave so that everything could go smoothly.

Jiang Nianwei calmly explained: "How can you ignore all the affairs in the military camp? Besides, I have loyal guards around me, so I am safe and sound. You don't need to worry too much."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be at peace." He gently lifted the carriage curtain, his eyes penetrating the dusk, examining the scenery outside, and said, "I will definitely accompany you on this trip!"

Jiang Nianwei knew that refusing at this moment would only increase doubts, so she nodded slightly and agreed: "Well, Ah Bei, you can go with me."

They happened to pass by a town, and Jiang Nianwei planned to rest there for a night.

She had other plans in mind. She didn't want Abei to be involved in the unknown risks he was about to face, and she didn't want him to become a variable in her actions.

"Abei, I am indeed a little tired after traveling all the way. How about we rest in this small town for a night and continue our journey tomorrow?"

Meng Huaibei gently complied with her wishes and softly agreed: "Okay."

He carefully helped Jiang Nianwei step out of the carriage, and from then on, he followed her closely, never taking his eyes off her for a moment, fearing that she would make the slightest mistake.

Jiang Nianwei smiled playfully and said, "I remember when I first met you, you were not as tall as me, but now, you are much taller than me. Look, the little girls around are secretly looking at you."

Meng Huaibei blushed when he heard this, and lowered his head quickly, muttering to himself, "Whether they look at me or not, what does it have to do with me?"

He only cared whether Jiang Nianwei looked at him or not, and didn't care about anything else.

When passing by the stall, Jiang Nianwei took a look at the pearls on the stall and wondered what happened to the pearls from Nanzhou Island.

Meng Huaibei thought that she was attracted by the pearl.

"Boss, how much are these pearls?"

"You have good taste, five taels of silver per piece."

Jiang Nianwei thought to herself, he is indeed a dishonest businessman, selling it at such a high price.

The stall owner smiled widely, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness: "You are a very discerning customer. These pearls are produced in Yazhou, and they are round and large. They are the best choice for your own enjoyment or as gifts. Five taels of silver per pearl, no deception."

This made Jiang Nianwei re-examine these pearls. When the merchants purchased them, they were only one hundred coins each, but now their value has increased several times.

"Abei, stop looking, let's go!"

Meng Huaibei's gaze did not shift at all, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Sister, since this thing has caught your eye, it is destined that we are together, and I will naturally give it to you."

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken out five taels of silver from his sleeve and gently placed it on the counter, "Boss, I want this thing. Please pack it carefully."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The boss agreed promptly and wrapped the item skillfully.

Meng Huaibei stuffed the box into her hands, "Abei, you are no longer the ignorant and manipulated boy you used to be. Now, I am willing to give you whatever you like."

This was a token of Ah Bei’s love, so Jiang Nianwei decided to accept it. “Thank you Ah Bei, I like it very much.”

The deep regret in Meng Huaibei's heart, like the lingering chill in the forest in late autumn, quietly invaded every inch of his thoughts.

She secretly left in Yazhou, which gave the man an opportunity to take advantage of her.

If not for this, the one who would accompany her to appreciate the spring flowers, autumn moon, winter snow and summer sun should be him, Meng Huaibei.

Maybe, she would also fall in love with me, and we wouldn't have to be brother and sister, but... husband and wife.

However, these beautiful ideas eventually turned into a candle in the wind, leaving only a wisp of smoke lingering in the heart, but never able to be ignited again.

Now, all he can do is to give his all, silently guard Jiang Nianwei and be her strongest support.

After they checked into the inn, Meng Huaibei kept observing her every move and found that her diet was very strange and she basically didn't touch her favorite food.

He just ate some vegetables and seemed to be enduring some discomfort.

"Sister, is the food not to your taste?" Meng Huaibei asked softly, with some concern in his eyes.

Sister shook her head slightly and forced a smile, "No, Abei, I just feel a little unwell."

Her eyes inadvertently swept across the bowl of hot fish soup on the table, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Abei, I'm not feeling well. I'd better go back to my room and rest for a while."

Meng Huaibei looked at his elder sister's slightly tired back, his heart filled with doubts.

Unwell? But why didn't she take any medicine?

My sister is an excellent doctor. If you really feel unwell, she will definitely prepare a prescription herself and the disease will be cured.

This procrastination is really puzzling...

Just now, Meng Huaibei had noticed that in the bumpy carriage, she looked listless, with her eyelids half-closed, as if she was deeply wrapped in fatigue.

A few plums and oranges were scattered around her, as if they were prepared unintentionally to relieve her discomfort.

Meng Huaibei was a man of meticulous mind, and after some careful consideration, some of the truth gradually surfaced.

Could it be? She was pregnant, that was the only explanation.

His fingertips tightened unconsciously, and a surge of anger threatened to break the dam of his rationality.

Baili Zhao, this name is more chilling than winter ice in his heart at this moment.

He wished he could turn into a raging wave and cut the man into pieces!

This is ridiculous. What on earth is this man thinking? My sister is pregnant now? And he wants her to go to Mount Wutai to pray for blessings?

Meng Huaibei almost broke the chopsticks. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart.

The more this is the case, the more he must stay by Jiang Nianwei's side to protect her and prevent her from encountering any accidents.

So, he hurried out, carefully selected some candied fruits, and then knocked on Jiang Nianwei's door, speaking in a gentle and concerned voice: "Sister, are you feeling better now?"

Jiang Nianwei forced herself to cheer up, secretly thinking about the plan that was about to be put into action, but her face remained calm: "It's okay now, come in."

Meng Huaibei put down the candied fruit and saw that her complexion had improved a little. "Sister, I have never seen you get so carsick when we traveled together before. Why are you so uncomfortable today?"

"Maybe I've become too delicate. Come on, come on, sit down and taste some dishes with me. My stomach was churning before and I couldn't eat anything, but now the smell of the food has aroused my appetite."

Meng Huaibei sat down and Jiang Nianwei poured him a glass of wine.

"I smell the unique daughter's red wine in this town. It has a mellow aroma and a unique flavor. Would you like to taste it?"

Meng Huaibei has never been fond of drinking, but at this moment, he is more curious about what kind of thoughts are behind Jiang Nianwei's actions.

So he gently picked up the wine glass, put it close to his nose, savored the tempting aroma of the wine, and then drank it all without hesitation.

As the wine went down his throat, he frowned slightly. The spicy taste almost made him choke, but he still commented gracefully, "The wine has a unique aroma and is still drinkable."

"Eat some more food!"

Meng Huaibei nodded in agreement, his eyes gently falling on Jiang Nianwei, "Sister, you should eat more too. I saw you eat very little before, and I was really worried about you."

Jiang Nianwei poured herself a glass of wine. Although Meng Huaibei was not a doctor, he knew that pregnant women could not drink alcohol, so he quickly snatched the glass from her.

"If you are not feeling well, you should not drink. Sister, I will drink with you and you can just drink tea."

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly and thought to herself, as expected, he found out.

Yes, Abei is so smart, how could he not know her secret.

She murmured, "Abei, I'm sorry, you can't go with me."

Meng Huaibei only felt that his consciousness was slowly dissipating like mist. The sounds around him gradually became hazy and distant. Jiang Nianwei's words lingered in his ears.

"what are you saying?"

Jiang Nianwei put drugs in her wine glass.

"This medicine will not harm your body. I will make proper arrangements and protect you back to Beijing safely. Ah Bei, I wish you peace and safety for the rest of your life. I owe you everything after all."

Her words were gentle, with a barely perceptible sadness, and her fingertips gently brushed across Meng Huaibei's slightly pale cheek.

Meng Huaibei vaguely felt a warm tear gently sliding down his cheek, but he was unable to react at all.

Gradually, his world fell into chaos, and finally he collapsed powerlessly on the table, falling into a deep sleep.

Jiang Nianwei ordered his confidant to put him on the carriage and urged the coachman to rush to the capital as fast as possible.

I set off directly to Mount Wutai.

In the early morning, they had arrived at the intersection of Mount Wutai. Jiang Nianwei ordered his men to take a detour to get rid of the people sent by Baili Zhao.

When they reached the steepest part of the road, a group of assassins disguised as bandits appeared.

Their purpose was simple, which was to kill Jiang Nianwei.

This group of assassins was divided into two groups. One group dropped rocks from the mountain, and the other group blocked the way, leaving the carriage with no way to go.

"If you surrender obediently, perhaps I can spare your lives!" the leading "bandit" shouted harshly.

"What should we do, girl? We can definitely retreat." the guard asked anxiously.

"They want to catch me. Besides, there is a way out here. Your cliffs are..."

"You absolutely cannot do that, girl. If you jump down like that, you will surely die!"

Jiang Nianwei got off the carriage without any fear, "You want my life, don't hurt the guards around me!"

The leader was delighted when he saw Jiang Nianwei coming out, and whispered, "The woman in the portrait, do it!"

Who would have thought that the woman not only showed no fear, but instead stood directly on the rocks.

"I, a girl from the Jiang family, do not want to die at the hands of evildoers, so I'm willing to jump off a cliff to show my determination!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nianwei looked at the bottomless cliff, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down.
