My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

When everyone was pulled away, Liu Sisi was like a fish out of water, without even the strength to flip over.

Sure enough, as soon as everyone dispersed, the patrolling prison guards arrived.

Seeing Liu Sisi being beaten like a dead dog, he pretended not to see it and walked away.

That night, Aunt Huang and the others let out a sigh of relief, and slept soundly even though they knew they would be leaving the next day.

Liu Sisi wailed on the ground for half the night, but no one cared.

I got up in the middle of the night, huddled in the corner and dozed off for a while, and then it was dawn.

The cell door was opened, and the jailer rushed in like a wolf, knocking on the cell door with a stick: "Get up, everyone get up——"

Anyone who moves a little slower will be hit with a stick.

Everyone felt pain and dared not hesitate any longer, so they all stood up.

The jailers signaled the concubines to stretch out their hands, and then used their bodies to restrain the concubines' hands, leaving only Liu Sisi alone.

A little hope rose in Liu Sisi's heart again, and she was especially kind to her. Does that mean she doesn't have to go into exile anymore?

Some people immediately started to feel dissatisfied and murmured quietly, "Why is she different from us?"

Liu Sisi held her head high, but had no time to speak.

The jailer sneered: "She? There's a surprise waiting for her outside!"

After saying this, he took a stick and drove all the people who were to be exiled from several nearby cells out of the prison gate like a flock of sheep.

A group of people lined up and slowly walked out of the prison.

After leaving the prison, it was a rare sunny day outside in winter.

So many people coming out attracted the attention of many people outside.

Those who had been released from prison had not seen the light of day for a long time. Looking at the clear sky and the glaring sun, they all shed tears.

But before I had time to feel sad, I was urged to move forward.

After getting on the prison van at the gate, this group of people who were exiled to the northwest, together with those in the men's prison next door, a total of several hundred people, gathered together and were dragged out of the city gate in a mighty manner.

Aunt Huang and the others sat in the middle prison van, trying hard to look out to see if Fu Zhiyi was among the people coming out of the men's cell in front.

It was a pity that they looked so hard that they almost lost their sight, but still didn’t see anything. Instead, they were hit by a few sticks and had to shrink back.

Naturally, there were many people watching along the way.

Some people pointed and talked, some laughed, some sympathized, and more were ignorant children who ran after the prison van, clapping and laughing all the way.

Those with thin skin had already reddened their cheeks and ears and covered their faces with their sleeves.

There are even more people who have been numbed by the torture of their imprisonment these days, sitting blankly in the prison van.

No matter how the onlookers on the street mocked him, he just turned a deaf ear to them.

The prison cart slowly drove to the pavilion outside the city and stopped.

All the people were driven out of the prison van.

Many people were already waiting near the pavilion.

These were old friends and relatives of the exiled people. They could not stop them from being exiled, so they could only come and take care of the escorting yamen runners and soldiers on the day of their exile from the capital, so that their lives on the road would be a little easier.

Those who were thoughtful prepared some small amounts of silver, as well as warm clothes and medicinal herbs.

After all, we are heading north and it is just the end of the first lunar month, which is very cold. If we don’t wear something thicker, we may not be able to make it.

These people hugged each other and cried bitterly, feeling very reluctant to leave.

It was more out of consideration for his reputation. He hurriedly stuffed some silver notes or something, and gave a few words of advice, asking him not to let the emperor down, and then said goodbye and left.

Aunt Huang and the others did not have any expectations. After all, their families either avoided them as much as possible or had been sold away to unknown places long ago. Who would still care about them?

Unexpectedly, he saw Zhao with Lunger and several maids and servants on the roadside.

Seeing them, he hurried over.

Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Brother Lun seemed to have grown up in just a few days. When he saw Brother Jie, his eyes were red as he went up to hold his hand and said, "Brother Jie?"

However, Brother Jie had a dull look in his eyes, lowered his head, and didn't speak or move.

Brother Lun thought that Brother Jie was angry with him, and explained in a low and flattering voice: "Brother Jie, I didn't mean to leave you. I, I have been thinking about you all these days. Today, I specially asked my mother to come to see you. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Aunt Huang was filled with grief: "Brother Lun, it's not that Brother Jie is angry and ignoring you, it's that he became like this after being frightened——"

When Zhao heard this, she was also shocked. She looked at Jie Ge'er seriously and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

But she was strong-willed and blinked her eyes: "I know in your hearts you all blame me for being cruel, only caring about getting out of this situation yourself and not helping you! You can blame me! If you don't care about yourself, heaven and earth will punish you. I have Brother Lun and Sister Yu, I have to take care of them! I can't just ignore my children for you, right?"

"Don't think I've been unfair to you. As the mistress for all these years, I don't think I've been too harsh. If you want to blame or hate someone, just hate the Third Master! If he hadn't been so arrogant and instigated by that bitch Liu Sisi into working for the Third Prince and Queen Deqing, how could this be happening?"

"When the Third Master was arrogant a few days ago, it was that bitch Liu Sisi who enjoyed the benefits. At that time, we were in the Marquis' Mansion and had to live by people's wishes."

"The Third Master has fallen on hard times, and all of us have been implicated!"

"After all, we've gotten along before. Although we've had our disagreements over the years, we don't harbor any deep hatred. I'm here to see you off today."

"I've already arranged for the officers to take care of you on the way, but at least they won't deliberately torture you."

"I have also prepared warm clothes for you all, as well as some medicinal herbs and food, which you will need on your journey."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and several maids behind him brought up several large bundles and opened them on the spot.

Inside were thick cotton coats and trousers, one set for each person.

When Zhao handed it to Aunt Huang personally, she squeezed her hand subtly. When she looked over, she gestured with her eyes to the cotton coat in her hand.

Aunt Huang understood a little, but also seemed not to understand quite well.

Zhao lowered her voice and said, "Small banknotes and some loose change have been sewn into the linings of your cotton-padded jackets. They're for your travel expenses. They'll be useful when you get to the northwest."

Aunt Huang's eyes were shocked, and she looked at Zhao, speechless.

Zhao took a step back, her expression growing colder. "This is the last thing I can do for you. After today, we'll go our separate ways. We'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."

The concubines were holding their thick cotton jackets and trousers with mixed feelings, all stunned.

After delivering the things, Zhao called for Lun Ge'er, who was still holding Jie Ge'er's hand, to leave.

Lun Ge'er couldn't bear to leave Jie Ge'er, so he pleaded softly, "Mother, can you take Jie Ge'er away?"

After hearing this, Aunt Huang, like Lun Ge'er, looked at Zhao expectantly.

As the two of them waited, Zhao shook her head cruelly.

Aunt Huang's eyes dimmed, but after looking at the cotton-padded jacket in her hand, the resentment in her heart disappeared.

He gritted his teeth, pulled Jie Ge'er over, knelt down in front of Zhao, and kowtowed three times.

The other concubines also knelt down with dark circles in their eyes to bid farewell to Zhao.

Zhao turned her head away, unable to bear to watch any longer.

Liu Sisi, on the other hand, was distracted. She didn't see Fu Zhiming among the group of people and was feeling anxious.

He pretended not to notice the interactions between Zhao and the concubines.

Standing on tiptoe, he looked around from time to time.

Finally, the crowd was pushed aside, and several officials and yamen runners came over pushing a wheelbarrow, on which lay a figure whose life or death was unknown.

Liu Sisi had a bad premonition and watched the wheelbarrow being pushed towards this direction.

He stopped right in front of her.
