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

The next day.

As soon as Song Yao woke up, she heard a rustling sound coming from outside.

It is raining.

Song Yao rubbed her eyes, stood up and walked to the door of the tent. She opened the curtain and looked outside. It was indeed raining, and the rain was particularly heavy.

Because it was raining, the temperature dropped again.

Song Yao stood at the door. The north wind was blowing hard and cold, giving her goose bumps all over her body.

Fortunately, when they were replenishing supplies, Song Yao asked Song Zizhou and the others to buy oilcloth to cover the tent. Otherwise, the tent would have been soaked beyond recognition.

Song Yao lowered the curtain and when she turned around, she saw E Yu and Song He who had just woken up.

Song He yawned, then looked at Song Yao and asked, "Sister, is it raining outside?"

Song Yao nodded. "Yeah, it's still raining heavily. We definitely can't travel any further now. You two should get some more sleep."

Song He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "I can't fall asleep after waking up. Sister, I'll get dressed and go get some rice soup for Xiaobao and the others."

As they were talking, the curtain was drawn aside, and Xiao Yan appeared at the door of the tent wearing a bamboo hat. He handed the rice soup in his hand to Song Yao, "Ayao, this is the rice soup for the two little treasures."

Song Yao hurried over to take it. After she handed the rice soup to Song He, she looked at Xiao Yan.

He was wearing a conical hat, and his clothes and hair were not wet by the rain.

"Prince Jing, thank you."

Xiao Yan pursed his lips and stared at Song Yao, "Ayao, I'm sorry about what happened last night."

Song Yao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully, she remembered why he wanted to apologize.

Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, you should go back to the tent and rest first. It's raining too hard now, and we can't continue our journey."

"Okay." Xiao Yan said, "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay!" Song Yao nodded.

Xiao Yan lowered the door curtain and walked into the rain.

Because it rained so heavily, the bloodstains on the ground last night were washed away by the heavy rain, and even the blood on Zhu Huai's body was washed away.

The rain lasted all morning, and around noon the bathroom finally became smaller.

They packed up and set off.

Because it had rained, it was very cold in the carriage. Even though they were wearing coats and cloaks, they were still very cold.

Song He was too cold, so he clasped his hands together, blew a breath of hot air into his palms, and rubbed his palms hard. However, this only warmed them temporarily. After a while, his hands became cold again.

Song He looked at Song Yao and said, "Sister, I really hope that by next winter, we'll have already reached Fengzhou. It's really too cold."

If we ride faster, we can reach Fengzhou in about seven or eight months.

However, they were traveling by horse carriage, so the journey would take several more months for them.

Song Yao glanced at Song He and said, "It will definitely be here by next year, no need to worry."

After E Yu coaxed little Sui Sui to sleep in her arms, she looked at Song Yao and said, "Ayao, mother hasn't spoken to you for a long time. Why don't you go and talk to her?"

That’s right, Su Zhen hasn’t taken the initiative to talk to Song Yao for several days.

When Mr. Song and Mrs. Song died, she didn't speak to Song Yao.

No one had ever thought that Su Zhen would be angry with her daughter for so long.

Song Yao shifted her gaze to E Yu and said calmly, "Sister-in-law, if I had gone to find her, it would have been my fault, but I wasn't wrong, was I?"

E Yu sighed, "Mom is a very stingy person. If you don't take the initiative to find her, she will definitely stay like this. A Yao, our family has become like this. We shouldn't let estrangement and hatred always shroud you. You are her daughter, you are the younger generation. If you can, you should give in to her. We have been through so much. We don't know which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. Don't leave yourself with regrets."

Song Yuanbai said, "This matter was not Ayao's fault in the first place. She couldn't stand such hardship anymore, so she asked Ayao to reconcile with Xiao Chi. In this way, Ayao would definitely ask Xiao Chi to forgive our sins immediately, so that we wouldn't have to be exiled anymore. That must be what she was thinking, so she wanted Ayao to reconcile with him!"

Song He looked at Song Yuanbo in disbelief, "Mother wouldn't think so, would she? She said she didn't want my sister to suffer anymore, so she asked her to reconcile with Prince Heng."

Song Yuanbai glanced at Song He and snorted coldly, "No mother would push her child into a fire pit. Really, we all know how Xiao Chi treated A Yao. Anyone with a conscience will not let her reconcile with Xiao Chi!"

Song Yao said calmly: "This is not my fault, and I am not wrong either, so I will not take the initiative to look for her."

If she went to find Su Zhen, Su Zhen would definitely let her reconcile with Xiao Chi. Whether Su Zhen did it for herself or for her, she would definitely bring it up again.

Song Yao was already very annoyed and didn't want to cause herself any more trouble.

Seeing Song Yao say this, Song He just pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Song Yuanbo changed the subject and said, "Two of our carriages were destroyed last night. Now everyone is squeezed together. When we get to Chang'an, we must buy three."

Song He looked at Song Yuanbo, "Dad, didn't we destroy two last night? Why buy two more? Why three?"

Song Yuanbo explained, "Didn't a carriage flip over earlier? We didn't take that carriage anymore. Adding the two we got last night, we have to buy three, right?"

Song He suddenly realized and laughed awkwardly, "See, I forgot."

E Yu smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay not to buy. It's warmer if we all huddle together."

Song Yao said, "But it's not a good idea to keep squeezing together. We still have to buy it when we get to Chang'an."

Song He suddenly asked, "Sister, we're spending so much money on this trip. Why did you only take the money from the palace and the Song family? You also said you didn't take all the money from the Song family. Why is that? The emperor is so excessive. He should empty the national treasury. Only then will he feel better!"

Song He hadn't thought of it at first, but since the matter of buying a carriage was mentioned, Song He took the opportunity to ask.

Song Yao looked at Song He and explained, "Our whole family has been exiled. If I emptied the treasury and the emperor found out, even if we were exiled, he would have to send troops to arrest us and execute us all. Do you think that's a good deal? As for why I didn't take all the Song family's money, it was because the emperor ordered the Song family to be confiscated. How could I not leave them some money? The Song family is so wealthy and powerful, it's impossible for them to have no money left when the family was confiscated. So I didn't take all of it to prevent the emperor from causing trouble for us."

Song Yao thought differently from them.

She just wanted to get away with it, but they just wanted to vent their anger.

Now after hearing Song Yao's words, everyone admired her immensely.

Because she was right. If she emptied the national treasury and took away all the money of the Song family, then Eunuch Zhao would definitely not let them go. If she reported this to the emperor, the emperor would certainly not let the Song family go either!

Why not leave them some money so that they can have less trouble?
