The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

The next day.

Song Yao and his friends did not leave Liangzhou City and continued to stay in the inn, planning to set off again at midnight tonight.

Xu Lingyi and the others, as well as Song Jiaqi, have been following them for too long, and Song Yao also suspects that Song Jiaqi and the others are in collusion with Xiao Chi, so this time they must get rid of them.

After everyone had breakfast at the inn, Song Zizhou took Song Qing, Song Mingxuan and others out of the inn, preparing to buy four or five sheep.

With sheep, there will be goat milk, so Xiao Youyou and Xiao Suisui will be able to drink goat milk in the future.

After leaving the inn, they asked along the way and arrived at the gate of a house in the east of the city.

When they saw the sheep dung scattered on the ground at the door, they knew they had found the right place.

Song Zizhou stood at the door and knocked. After a while, a middle-aged man came and opened the door.

The man was wearing a coat and was not tall.

He looked at Song Zizhou and the others for a few seconds before asking, "Who are you?"

Song Zizhou said, "Brother, sorry to bother you. We heard along the way that you have some sheep here, so we came to take a look. We were wondering if you could sell us a few. Of course, you can name the price."

When the man heard that they were here to buy sheep, the wariness in his eyes disappeared.

He stepped aside and said, "Come in, I'm planning to sell a few."

When Song Qing heard this, he asked in surprise, "Are you really going to sell sheep?"

The man nodded and said, "My wife fell while herding sheep a few days ago and broke her leg. I'm working outside and can't feed so many sheep, so I plan to sell a few so that I can have some free time."

"I see." Song Qing said, "Then take us to see the sheep."

"Okay!" The man nodded and took them to the backyard.

The backyard is a very wide area with a shed and a fence around it, where more than 20 sheep are raised.

Sheep are good things, but there are a lot of sheep droppings on the ground, densely packed together, and very smelly.

Song Zizhou asked, "How many sheep do you plan to sell?"

The man said, "I want to sell ten sheep. This way I can save myself some trouble and my wife won't worry about me so much."

"Have you inquired about the selling price? Let's just buy ten." Song Zizhou thought that if he bought more, he could roast the lamb and eat it later.

That's so delicious.

The man said, "I sold some sheep before. The price of one sheep is three taels of silver. If you want ten sheep, that would be thirty taels of silver."

Song Zizhou had never bought a sheep, but at three taels a head, he thought it was not expensive.

I agreed to the price right away.

Seeing how straightforward he was, the man said, "These sheep are already producing milk. How many males do you want?"

Song Zizhou said: "Three males, the rest need females."

Choose a male sheep, because maybe it will give birth to lambs in the future. This way you can have a cycle and there will be endless mutton to eat.

Moreover, it would be a good thing if they could raise some sheep themselves when they arrive in Fengzhou in the future.

"Okay!" the man said, and went straight into the fence to catch sheep. He caught ten in total, three males and the rest were females.

Because they didn't know how to herd sheep, he simply tied a rope around the neck of each sheep so that they could lead the sheep home directly.

After Song Zizhou gave them the silver, they took the sheep and left.

There were three people, Song Zizhou led four sheep, Song Mingxuan and Song Qing led three each. They walked on the street and became an eye-catching scenery.

On the way back to the inn, Song Zizhou and his friends met Xiao Chi again.

The bad thing was that they ran into Xiao Chi head-on, but the good thing was that there were only two of them.

Xiao Chi didn't recognize Song Zizhou last night because they had gotten away so quickly, but today, they were leading a flock of sheep and the people around them had dispersed, so he saw Song Zizhou at a glance.

They had already discussed it last night, so Song Zizhou did not avoid Xiao Chi this time.

Song Zizhou walked up to Xiao Chi, leading the sheep. His face no longer had the respect he once had, and his eyes were filled with a hint of provocation. "Prince Heng, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you in such a distant Liangzhou City!"

Song Zizhou was not afraid of Xiao Chi, but Song Qing and Song Mingxuan were still nervous.

Xiao Chi's face darkened. Without beating around the bush, he asked directly, "Where's Song Yao? I want to see her now!"

Song Zizhou said, "Okay, my sister also wants to see you."

He no longer cared about Xiao Chi, and took the sheep and asked Song Qing, Song Mingxuan and others to leave.

After walking for a while, Song Zizhou looked back and saw Xiao Chi and the man named Xie Cheng following him outside.

When they arrived at the inn, Song Zizhou handed the sheep in his hand to Song Qing and the others, then took Xiao Chi into the inn and went to Song Yao's room upstairs.

Song Yao was feeding rice porridge to Xiao Youyou and Xiao Suisui. E Yu and Song He were holding them and feeding them when they saw Song Zizhou coming in, as well as... Xiao Chi and Xie Cheng.

When Song He and E Yu saw them, their hearts skipped a beat and their expressions changed instantly.

Song Yao was relatively calm, pretending not to see Xiao Chi, and continued to feed rice soup to the two little guys with a calm expression.

Xiao Chi walked to the bedside. When he saw the two babies in the cradles, and how they looked so much like him, his heart jumped into his throat. His originally cold eyes were filled with surprise.

"They are..." Xiao Chi's eyes were full of surprise. In the past, such an expression never appeared on his face.

Song Yao ignored Xiao Chi and continued to feed the two children rice soup.

Xiao Chi was no longer calm.

On the way here, he kept wondering whether the child Song Yao gave birth to was Shen Yibai's child. After all, Song Yao was very close to Shen Yibai before.

But now after seeing these two children, he knew that these children were his and not Shen Yibai's at all!

Xiao Chi stood by the bed and asked a lot of questions, but Song Yao didn't say a word.

This made Song He and the others very anxious.

Song He frowned and lowered her voice, "Sister..."

Song Yao glanced at Song He but still said nothing.

After she finished feeding the child the rice soup, she handed the bowl to Song Zizhou, and then looked at Xiao Chi, who was standing by the bed with a condescending look.

Song Yao's face was expressionless, and her voice was a bit cold. "Your Highness Prince Heng, why are you here? Did someone inform you that I'm here, so you came?"

When Xiao Chi heard the words "Your Highness Prince Heng", his heart skipped a beat, as if someone had plucked his heart hard, causing him great pain.

He frowned and looked at Song Yao and said, "They... they are my children?"

Song Yao directly denied it, "No, they are my and Shen Yibai's children!"

As soon as these words came out, Song He's heart suddenly jumped, and her face turned pale. "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Xie Cheng's heart tightened with worry. He said, "Princess, this is clearly the prince's child. How can you say it's that person's? Aren't you and that person just friends?"
