Immediately afterwards, before the people in the carriage could react, the carriage stopped like a wild horse as the coachman suddenly pulled the reins tight.

Because it was too sudden, the unprepared Yan Mingzhe stumbled in the carriage and fell forward, landing heavily on his back, looking very miserable.

Yan Mingzhe finally managed to steady himself and hurriedly got up from the ground.

Yan Mingzhe quickly reached out and opened the car curtain, shouting to the outside: "What happened?"

The groom's face was as pale as paper, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, he pointed his finger forward tremblingly, his lips trembling constantly, but he could not utter a complete sentence.

Looking in the direction the coachman pointed, Yan Mingzhe suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

I saw two strange figures standing in the middle of the road not far ahead.

They were two human-shaped objects, one big and one small. They were tall and slender, but they had no heads, which made them look particularly terrifying.

Their arms hung limply on both sides, as if empty sleeves were fluttering in the wind.

Although the sun was shining brightly at that time, Yan Mingzhe felt that the temperature around him dropped suddenly, as if he was in an ice cellar. A gloomy cold wind whistled past, making the back of his neck cold.

But Yan Mingzhe soon noticed that there were shadows under the feet of these two people. Ghosts have no shadows and will not come out during the day.

Yan Mingzhe patted the frightened driver and said, "A shadow is definitely not a ghost. Let's go over and see who is playing tricks."

The groom finally calmed down and mustered up the courage to look over again, only to find that there really was a shadow.

Yao Chuguang also heard the scream. He turned around and saw a carriage coming from behind, which seemed to have stopped suddenly.

Yao Chuguang guessed: Is it because the wheel is stuck in the pit?

But now I am just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken, and I have a child to take care of, so I have no energy to help.

Just ignore it and keep moving forward!

Unexpectedly, the carriage started moving again very quickly, and from the sound of the wheels, the speed was obviously slowing down as it approached behind him.

Yao Chuguang immediately became alert and pulled Zhou Mingrui towards him!

I saw the carriage pass Yao Chuguang and stop in front.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two men clearly, but then he said angrily, "Why are you wrapping your head with clothes in broad daylight? I thought I saw a ghost."

Yao Chuguang was a little puzzled and said, "The sun is too strong. I don't have an umbrella, so I can only use clothes to block it."

The driver... This was the first time he had seen a woman who didn't care so much about her image.

Yan Mingzhe also lifted the car curtain and looked at Yao Chuguang and the other two. He saw that their clothes were disheveled, their hair was messy, and their faces were covered with dust. They looked extremely embarrassed, as if they were fleeing.

Yan Mingzhe thought to himself that he had not heard of any serious disaster happening nearby.

Yan Mingzhe asked, "Madam, where are you taking the child?"

When Yao Chuguang heard the question, he quickly raised his eyes and looked at the carriage in front of him.

I saw that there were only two people in the car, one of whom was dressed elegantly and had an elegant demeanor, like a teacher.

I also noticed that the carriage had the Yan family emblem hanging on it, so it seemed that the carriage was from the Yan family of Youzhou.

Yao Chuguang nodded in agreement with Yan Mingzhe's words and said, "I am about to go to Qiuyuan City to find my husband."

After hearing this, Yan Mingzhe couldn't help but shift his gaze to Yao Chuguang, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

It was really difficult and arduous for this weak woman to travel such a long distance with her young child.

Thinking of this, Yan Mingzhe offered to help and said, "I happen to be going to Qiuyuan City as well. In that case, why not let me give you a ride along the way?"

If it were any other time, if a stranger suddenly came to invite him, Yao Chuguang would definitely not get in the car.

But now there is no village or shop nearby, and she is the only one with Zhou Mingrui.

Although one of the two people in the carriage looked a little old, the other coachman was young and strong.

If they really wanted to do something to them, Yao Chuguang couldn't beat them.

Rather than being seen as being on guard against others, it is better to play dumb and let the enemy let down their guard so that you can find the right opportunity to escape.

Of course, this is just Yao Chuguang’s worst-case scenario.

As it stands, no matter how poor the Yan family in Youzhou is, they will not be reduced to becoming human traffickers and kidnapping women.

If this person is a good person and really intends to give Yao Chuguang and the others a ride, then Yao Chuguang must not miss this good opportunity.

After getting on the carriage, Yao Chuguang pretended to be reserved and huddled in the corner of the carriage with Zhou Mingrui, lowering his head and not saying a word.

Yan Mingzhe asked Yao Chuguang, "Where did Madam come from? Why is she in such a mess?"

Yao Chuguang secretly pinched herself and began to act out her acting skills: "I am from Nanyang City. I was originally going to Qiuyuan City to visit my husband today, but I didn't expect a riot to break out in Nanyang City. Fortunately..."

Before Yao Chuguang could finish, Yan Mingzhe exclaimed in shock, "What! A riot broke out in Nanyang City?"

Yao Chuguang seemed to be frightened, hugging Zhou Mingrui and huddling with her head down.

There was no way, her acting was not good, she could only try to lower her head so that people would not see her expression.

Yan Mingzhe hurriedly asked the coachman to drive the carriage faster so that they could reach Qiuyuan City as soon as possible and tell Fu Hongxuan to send troops to suppress the rebellion.

Although Yan Mingzhe was extremely anxious, he knew that it was useless to worry now.

He looked towards Yao Chuguang and found that the woman's child was so dazed. He didn't seem to have any expression like a child from beginning to end and didn't say a word.

Yan Mingzhe hesitated and asked, "This child..."

Yao Chuguang raised her hand and pretended to wipe away tears, saying, "The child saw the rebels killing people in the street and was terrified. He still hasn't recovered. I don't know what to do."

Yan Mingzhe sighed, picked up a plate of cakes and handed it to Zhou Mingrui, saying, "It's simply a sin. Don't be afraid, child. It's all over."

Zhou Mingrui stared at the pastries on the plate but didn't take it.

Yao Chuguang reached out and took a piece and handed it to Zhou Mingrui, who then took the pastry and began to eat it in small bites.

Yan Mingzhe comforted Yao Chuguang, "As long as he can eat, there's nothing serious wrong. Spend the next few days with the child."

Yao Chuguang nodded repeatedly in gratitude.

In the evening, Yan Mingzhe's carriage finally arrived at Qiuyuan City.

At the city gate, Yan Mingzhe dropped Yao Chuguang and the other two off, then went straight to Fu Hongxuan's general's mansion.

Unexpectedly, Fu Hongxuan learned about the riot in Nanyang City before him and had already led troops to suppress it.

Yan Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief. The steward of the general's mansion knew Yan Mingzhe and arranged a guest room for him.

Let Yan Mingzhe wait for a few days, Fu Hongxuan will come back after suppressing the rebellion.

Yan Mingzhe nodded and settled down in the general's mansion.

At the same time, Yao Chuguang learned that Fu Hongxuan had led his troops to quell the riot in Nanyang City.

A gust of wind blows, and the poverty is ringing!

When she first came to Qiuyuan City, she was a refugee and lived in the post station. The people in the general's mansion didn't know her.

When she came to Qiuyuan City for the second time, she was the empress, but she stayed on the wall all the time. Everyone only remembered that she had silver hair, and no one saw her appearance at all.

Later, Yao Chuguang secretly returned to Fu Hongxuan's general's mansion, making it even more impossible for anyone to see her.

So now no one in the general's mansion knows her, so she has to live on the streets with Zhou Mingrui?

The silver on Yao Chuguang's body was taken away during the riot in Nanyang City. No one knew whether it was squeezed away by the crowd or stolen.

Zhou Mingrui pulled Yao Chuguang's sleeve and said, "I'm hungry!"

At this moment, Yao Chuguang could only pray that her mother would not follow Fu Hongxuan to quell the rebellion.

Otherwise, she and Zhou Mingrui would really have to go begging.

It is unbelievable that she, a great empress, would have to become a beggar just for a bite of food.

What a human tragedy this is!

At the entrance to the barracks, the soldier guarding the camp said expressionlessly, "Second Lieutenant Yingge has already left with the commander."

"No!" Yao Chuguang shouted in his heart.

God is so cruel to her!

She was a great empress, but she went bankrupt!
