Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

He watched everything in the clinic and followed them silently.

He held a lantern to light the way for them.

Zhang Tianai and Chunmei walked down the stairs, vaguely aware of someone following them. They didn't look back, but they were secretly nervous, afraid that something might go wrong. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and the men didn't wake up.

They saw the carriage parked in the yard, the carriage that had trapped them for days but now became their hope of escape. They had never looked closely at the carriage before, as it looked simple on the outside and empty on the inside.

They stopped because Zhang Tianai hadn't slept in the middle of the night, and she had abdominal discomfort and a dull pain in her waist.

Chunmei's face also looked bad. She didn't expect that escape would be so easy.

She was also full of worry and couldn't help looking back.

Zhang Tianai remained calm and composed. They had never expected the doctor to help them so easily. Everything seemed too smooth. If it weren't for the young doctor, they wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.

The young doctor was of great help to them.

He drugged the men and put them into a coma.

Perhaps those men didn't think much about it, which is why they fell for it so easily.

At first, when Zhang Tianai met the doctor, she just wanted to see if she could ask him for help.

Unexpectedly, before she even opened her mouth, the doctor seemed to have seen through everything. His eyes were sharp, and he whispered, "I understand. What do you want to do?" Later, he found a way to convey the message to her, expressing his willingness to help her.

He saw some clues, he was really a good person. However, no matter how good a person is, one should not be careless. Thinking of this, Zhang Tianai looked back.

Seeing this, Chunmei called softly, "Madam."

She couldn't help but speak out, her heart filled with doubts like a tide - why did her master suddenly stop? Didn't they agree to flee this place? She didn't dare to call out rashly, for fear of disturbing her master's thoughts.

Zhang Tianai shook her head slightly, signaling her to be silent. Her gaze fell on the young doctor, lantern in hand, approaching slowly not far away. Doctor Li had also followed their footsteps.

Why?

Chunmei and Zhang Tianai both felt a little uneasy.

Chunmei called out again: "Madam..."

"Nothing." Zhang Tianai comforted softly, trying to calm the waves in her heart.

Dr. Li didn't need to be here. After all, this was his home, and they were the ones disturbing him. He had previously asked them if they wanted to leave immediately, and they had naturally agreed. And when he offered to go with them.

Zhang Tianai understood his good intentions, but it was already midnight, a quiet time. While this wasn't considered late for modern people, it was already the dead of night for ancient people. There was no place to rest in the town, I'm afraid.

It was pitch black and silent all around, as if the whole world was asleep.

If they were to leave, they would have to choose their destination carefully. Two women, no matter where they went, needed to be extra cautious. However, with Doctor Li by their side, they would undoubtedly be much safer.

But, they don't need to.

As early as their last stay in the town, they had already changed into the coarse clothes the men had found. After bathing and changing clothes, these simple clothes were their only option. These coarse clothes were all the men could find. Zhang Tianai even felt that changing into these clothes made her blend in better with the crowd.

Aside from their appearance, they looked like ordinary peasant women. Their jewelry had long been carefully hidden, waiting only to be removed when they left. As for their faces, a light smear of dirt would conceal their original beauty.

Doctor Li before him probably couldn't guess their true identities? He might just think they were the wives and maids of some family.

"Doctor Li, why are you here..." Zhang Tianai's words were filled with inquiry. She secretly thought that as long as those men were dealt with properly, not only Doctor Li, but they could actually stay safely.

There was no need to leave those men alive. Just one would be enough to find out who was plotting against them!

"Doctor Li, you just need to take these people..." Zhang Tianai was interrupted by Doctor Li before she could finish her words.

"I'm here to light the way for you, Madam. The night is too dark and it might be difficult to move forward. You can stay if you wish. Don't worry, I mean no harm. It's still dark and I can't feel at ease if I leave now. I once offered to see you off, but Madam refused. But now, I still stick to my opinion. After you two leave, it won't be difficult to find where you went. As for these people, as Madam said, they should be properly dealt with." Doctor Li raised the lantern higher as he spoke, his eyes fixed on the men on the ground.

He knew clearly in his heart that these people were definitely not good people and they must have kidnapped his wife.

Zhang Tianai nodded: "Of course."

"But we still have to leave. We don't want to implicate you. These men really can't stay." Zhang Tianai emphasized again.

Chunmei nodded silently.

"Madam..." Doctor Li wanted to say something.

Zhang Tianai thought to herself that it would be safer to stay here and leave after daybreak. She could also take this opportunity to deal with the men who had captured her and leave behind a torturer to interrogate the truth.

However, she would not be at peace until they were completely dealt with, which was why she specifically reminded Doctor Li. Doctor Li was obviously not a soft-hearted person.

However, if she really stayed, Zhang Tianai couldn't help but worry about Dr. Li's safety. After all, in this complex environment, even a kind-hearted person might face many unknown risks.

However, her intuition told her that Doctor Li must be a good person who could be trusted. In these troubled times, it was rare to meet such a kind-hearted person, and it was their good fortune.

"Forget it, let's leave." Zhang Tianai finally made a decision. She pulled Chunmei and prepared to set off again.

"Madam, please stay." Doctor Li took another step forward. His appearance was not outstanding, only handsome, and his figure was a little thin, but his eyes revealed a kind of firmness and kindness, which made people know at a glance that he was a trustworthy doctor.

He continued to persuade Zhang Tianai, his words so earnest that Zhang Tianai felt a little embarrassed.

Chunmei also said: "Madam, we..."

"I won't say much. As long as Madam can wait until dawn, you can go wherever you want, and I will feel more at ease. Seeing that Madam looks hurried, you must have a lot of important things to do. If I can help, please just let me know. Also, Madam seems to need some silver, and I will give you some later. At the same time, I can also deal with these people for you." Doctor Li continued, his tone full of sincerity.

He also noticed that Zhang Tianai's belly was slightly bulging, obviously she was pregnant and had difficulty moving.

"Then let's wait until dawn." Zhang Tianai finally gave in.

Chunmei felt relieved when she heard this.

Doctor Li was even more delighted and quickly made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Tianai supported Chunmei and slowly walked back to the clinic under the guidance of Doctor Li.

They were holding lanterns and had only taken a few steps when they suddenly saw several figures.

Doctor Li immediately became alert and was about to go forward to check, when -

"How dare you run away - you are so careless, prepare to die!" Not far away, a man who should have been unconscious woke up at some point. He suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and looked around for something, as if he wanted to rush over.

Zhang Tianai's expression suddenly changed upon seeing this, and she was shocked. She hadn't expected this man to wake up. Clearly, the dosage he'd given her wasn't enough. She had assumed everyone had passed out, but she hadn't expected someone to slip through the cracks.

I almost let this man go because of carelessness!

If they hadn't returned in time...

There's no telling what terrible things might happen!

Seeing this, Chunmei jumped back in fright and instinctively wanted to stand in front of Zhang Tianai.

"Be careful, ma'am!" Doctor Li's face changed drastically, and he rushed forward without hesitation, blocking the two men. The man had already found his sword and rushed forward. But his speed was not fast, his steps were staggering, his body was swaying, and he seemed unable to stand steadily. It was obvious that he was no longer a threat.

Zhang Tianai was about to speak and wanted to find something to protect herself.

Doctor Li turned around, quickly found a stick, and rushed forward without hesitation. Although his movements were a bit clumsy and unorganized, his courage and determination were moving.

I didn’t expect that Dr. Li, who looks handsome and easy-going, is so brave!

Doctor Li hit the man with a stick, and the man fell down again with a ferocious face.

"Keep your voice down." Zhang Tianai looked outside the clinic vigilantly.

The man almost escaped!
