Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

The man stared for a moment, gently closed the carriage door, and walked into the night.

He whispered to his three companions, a hint of hesitation between his brows.

"Are we just going to let her die?" There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Are you really going to watch someone die without helping?"

"Let's take her there. It's so close. If something goes wrong, it won't be worth it. After all, it's been a bumpy journey all the way here."

"Yes, our target is a living person. How can we bring back a corpse?"

"Then take her to see it?"

"Will she take advantage of this opportunity to play some tricks?"

"Where can you escape to with a big belly?"

"Where are you taking people?"

After some discussion, the four of them rode their horses forward again.

Zhang Tianai was not completely sure, but he was not overly worried. Instead, Chunmei looked worried.

Zhang Tianai gestured for her to continue. Noticing her expression, someone approached and tapped on the carriage. The two quickly adjusted their demeanor. The man outside the carriage said in a cold voice, "I'll take them there to check it out. Please don't make any noise."

His tone was full of impatience and displeasure!

When everyone left, the surroundings returned to silence.

"OK." Zhang Tianai breathed a sigh of relief towards Chunmei, with a relieved smile on his face.

Chunmei finally felt relieved, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down. She was filled with worry, fearing that her master's plan would fail.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianai chuckled. After the joy, the show had to continue, but she had to restrain herself a little, as if she was enduring the pain. She looked at Chunmei.

She was worried that Chunmei would not be able to do the job, but she was relieved that Chunmei had made progress.

"Not bad." She praised Chunmei silently, her lips full of affirmation.

Chunmei's cheeks turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed, and almost couldn't continue acting.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianai said no more.

She was also exhausted.

Chunmei continued to maintain her outward calm.

The men outside the car kept an eye on the movements around them, fearing that any delay would arouse suspicion. They did not dare to slack off at all. They quickly found a place, asked around, and wanted to find a doctor to come and take a look first.

I just haven't found it yet, I just know there's a small town nearby.

The group rushed to the small town.

Zhang Tianai also heard it clearly in the carriage and vaguely understood the men's intentions, but Chunmei was still full of worries.

Zhang Tianai seemed calm and composed.

Aren't we heading to the town now? She gently stroked her swollen belly, which seemed to have grown a little bigger in the past few days, but she was getting thinner and thinner, with less flesh on her cheeks and the backs of her hands.

That's okay.

Chunmei also wanted to say that her master had lost weight.

Soon, the group arrived at the town. The carriage stopped outside the town. A man entered the town to investigate. Just like last time, he went straight to the clinic and sneaked into the backyard.

He stopped others, dispersed the crowd in the clinic, and called a doctor to come and treat the patient.

Zhang Tianai and Chunmei waited anxiously, their hearts beating like drums.

The two did not dare to move until the doctor came, opened the carriage door, walked into the carriage to check his pulse. Only then did Zhang Tianai and Chunmei begin their "performance" again.

The two of them stared at the doctor, and occasionally looked out the door.

Chunmei grabbed the doctor's sleeve tightly and said, "Doctor, my wife is in trouble. You must save her."

The doctor nodded in agreement, but his expression was full of fear, and he didn't dare to raise his head, which made him look a little young. Zhang Tianai knew that the man was not outside. Because of what happened last time, those men would never think that she would run away.

She wanted the doctor not to be afraid.

At the same time, in the capital, people who came to search followed the previous clues and searched again. Finally, they found some other jewelry in one place. When they picked them up, they found that they were very similar to the ones they had found before.

Most of them belong to Concubine Liang.

They soon found other clues, but they didn't know whether they were useful, so they searched several towns in succession.

Fearing that Concubine Liang was hiding in the town, they searched all over the place but never saw her.

Continuing the search, we arrived at another town.

Afterwards, Nanny Li ordered more guards and secret guards to come.

Nanny Li and Yuan also wanted to come.

I just don't want to slow down the search progress.

This time, everyone asked around before dark and finally got news that a stranger had come to the town, along with a carriage, but no one had seen the people in the carriage.

However, the men in the town had seen the men outside the car. Later, someone said that the pedestrians had stayed in the town overnight to go to the clinic. It seemed that someone was unwell and was seeking medical treatment.

But the clinic has never opened, and I don’t know the reason.

Everyone rushed to the clinic.

The door of the clinic was closed. When I pushed it open, I saw the doctor lying in a pool of blood, dead.

When the people accompanying him saw this, they all talked about it, saying that it was no wonder that the clinic had not been open for the past few days.

The guards and secret guards from the capital searched again but found nothing.

The news was reported back to the capital.

They continued searching forward.

At this moment, Zhang Tianai waited for the doctor to finish the diagnosis. After hearing the doctor say that she was weak and her fetus was unstable, she pulled Chunmei and told the doctor that she often had abdominal pain.

The doctor sighed and said, "Your body must be in bad condition because you have been traveling for too long. You can't do it."

Zhang Tianai and Chunmei looked out the door again.

The men outside the door...

-

Inside the enclosure.

Eunuch An was still searching, still blocking people, and still - he stopped some more people and found a few people with suspicious behavior. They were all detained and reported to the emperor.

The emperor handed it over to his subordinates for disposal.

The emperor did not continue hunting. Perhaps because of this, everyone was waiting. People at the border and on the grassland also learned about this and asked around.

When Eunuch An learned about this, he also suspected that these people were behind this.

People were also sent to monitor these people.

Since the emperor didn't say a word, he didn't think much about it.

In the prince's tent.

Murong Shenxing woke up from his coma.

After waking up, he quickly learned what had happened during his coma, and also knew that Eunuch An was searching and looking for the assassin. He did not comment, but then he summoned a few people and gave them some instructions.

Then he fell into a coma again.

His waking up and then fainting again made many people who had just felt relieved become worried again.

This is true for both the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

There are also some ministers and people who care about the Crown Prince, but they don't know what will happen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Some people wanted to call the imperial physician, but they didn't dare. After the prince fainted that day, he started to have a fever in the middle of the night and his body was burning hot all the time. The palace maids, guards, and imperial physicians stood by him until he woke up at this moment, but he fainted again and had a fever again?

This is obviously not healed yet!

The Queen's side sent envoys again, but the Queen Mother's side remained silent.

Murong Shuo did not go to the scene in person. He just listened to the envoy's report. After asking a few simple questions, he nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal the envoy to leave.

After the messenger left, he felt a strong desire to return to the capital.

He felt an unprecedented emptiness and powerlessness. From that day on, he almost isolated himself from the world, entrusting all his affairs to others. However, waiting for news in such a dry way was unbearable for him, especially since the prince was now imprisoned.

His mood became increasingly heavy, almost sinking to the bottom.

He longed to return to the capital. If the prince had not met with an accident, been injured by an assassin and fell into a coma, he could have handed over power to the prince and returned to the capital with peace of mind to find the woman who had been haunting him.

At least, he can take action instead of being helpless like he is now.

All of this was due to the prince's sudden change of heart. Although he wanted to quit, he couldn't just leave it alone.

Murong Shuo had not felt so aggrieved for a long time. He even began to wonder if there was any other hidden story behind the prince's assassination?

No matter what, his determination to return to Beijing remained unchanged.

Just as he was racking his brains over how to make arrangements, a messenger arrived in a hurry.

It turned out that he was sent by the Queen Mother to ask if Concubine Liang was safe?
