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

Song Yao and the others did not leave, and Song Jiaqi did not move forward either. In the end, he kept a distance from Song Yao and the others.

Song Jiaqi and his crew only had one carriage and three horses.

Song Liangji, Song Liangji, Song Wenchuan and others were all riding horses, and the others were in the carriage. Their horses were not the Western Region horses that Song Yao bought yesterday, but just a few ordinary horses.

Song Jiaqi and his friends were poor to begin with, and they certainly didn't have the money to buy a carriage and horses, so in Song Yao's opinion, the carriage they were riding in was very suspicious.

Isn't that suspicious enough? They were all riding horses before, and they didn't have enough silver on them. Now a carriage suddenly appeared, which was definitely a problem.

However, they didn't catch up, and Song Yao didn't want to go over and question them directly, so she turned around and returned to the carriage, and the convoy continued to move forward.

E Yu asked, "Ayao, how is it? Is their carriage ours?"

Song Yao said, "I don't know. That carriage looks just like any other carriage. It's impossible to tell it apart from the outside."

Song He said, "Didn't you replace all the horses with Western Region horses? If they have Western Region horses, then they must have stolen the carriages and mule carts!"

A horse in the Western Regions costs eleven taels of silver, and two horses cost twenty-two taels of silver. If they had so much silver, they might as well buy food. Why would they buy horses?

If they really rode Western Region horses, then these Western Region horses must be theirs!

Song Yao said, "They don't ride Western horses, they ride ordinary horses."

E Yu said, "Perhaps they simply sold the horses from the Western Regions and kept the carriages, while the mule carts were filled with grain. If there were a lot of grain in their carriages, there's no doubt they must have stolen them."

Song Yuanbai said, "If we want to verify it clearly, we can only go and search them. If it is true, we must take the food back. Of course, we won't give it to them even if the carriage is destroyed!"

In the past, Song Yuanbo always protected Song Jiaqi and others, because no matter what, they were his eldest brother and second brother, and his relatives, so he would tolerate it if he could.

But since his exile, so many things have happened that have wiped out the last bit of affection he had for them.

Therefore, Song Yuanbai no longer needs to side with them.

If they were really the ones who stole the carriage and mule cart, then he would definitely let Song Yao and the others get them back.

Song Yao glanced at Song Yuanbo, "Dad, they are your relatives, are you sure you want to do this?"

Song Yuanbai said with disdain, "They have never considered us their family. If that's the case, then we don't have to be so shameless as to try to please them! If they really stole it, Ayao, we must take it all back. These are our things, and we must not let them get away with it!"

Song Yao was a little angry at first, but after hearing what Song Yuanbo said, she laughed and said, "Okay, we'll search when we get settled later!"

Song Yao no longer cared about whether to offend anyone or not. In short, she couldn't suffer any loss now.

Song He said, "Will they agree to the search? If they feel guilty, they definitely won't allow us to search!"

Song Yao said, "They are few in number, we are many, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Chi are here. If they give the order, they will just have to wait to be searched."

Hearing Song Yao's words, Song He smirked, "Sister, have you begun to accept Prince Heng now?"

Song Yao hesitated for a moment and rolled her eyes at her unhappily, "Do you know what you are saying?"

Song He pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you just say that Xiao Yan and Xiao Chi were both here? Since you mentioned Prince Heng, then his opinion of you must have changed, right?"

Song Yao held her forehead with her hand. "I just mentioned his name in passing. There's no such thing as change of opinion or acceptance."

Song He would not argue with her and just laughed it off.

Outside the carriage, the sun shone through the clouds, finally bringing a hint of warmth to people.

The golden sunshine made Song Zizhou feel at home.

I hope it will be sunny from now on and not snow anymore. Otherwise, the ice and snow and the biting cold wind will be really torturous.

The sun shone all day, and when it set, they found a flat place to set up camp.

The camp chosen by Song Zizhou this time was very good. There was a primeval forest behind them and a lake in front of them. They could use water freely here. There was a forest behind them, so they could collect some trees to make fire later. Otherwise, if they only used charcoal, the charcoal would definitely not last long.

The main force stopped and everyone got busy with their own duties.

After the tents were set up and the fire was lit, Song Zizhou asked Song Jingmo, Song Jing, Song Qian and others to go to the forest to chop trees.

It's cold now and firewood is a necessity.

Song Yao did not go into the tent to see the children. She looked around the camp to see if there were any signs of animal activity.

If there is, then they cannot set up camp here. If not, then they can spend the night safely.

Seeing that there were no signs of animal activity, Song Yao returned to the camp.

Just then, E Yu and Song He came out of her tent.

Seeing the two of them coming out together, Song Yao asked, "Are Xiaobao and the others asleep?"

E Yu nodded, and after sitting down next to Song Yao, she spoke, "They are all asleep. Now we are free."

Song Yao laughed twice, "That's right."

Seeing that a few people were missing, Song He asked in confusion, "Where are Song Jing and the others? Why aren't they here?"

Song Yao said, "They went to the forest to cut trees. My eldest brother said that we need to prepare more firewood so that we don't have to burn charcoal all the time. Charcoal is limited and we definitely can't use it all the time."

"That's true." Song He nodded.

Xiao Chi came to the bonfire where Song Yao was and sat down. Knowing that Song Yao had not forgiven him yet, he did not take the initiative to speak, but just sat there silently.

No one came to warm themselves by the fire yet, only E Yu and Song He were sitting here. Seeing this, they chuckled and walked away tactfully.

Seeing that they had all left, Song Yao was a little puzzled, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing Song Yao and Xiao Chi sitting alone together by the fire, Xiao Yan felt a little annoyed. Just as he was about to separate them, Song He suddenly rushed in front of him and said, "Ahem, Prince Jing, I have something to tell you. Can we change places?"

Xiao Yan naturally refused directly and was about to leave.

Song He suddenly grabbed his clothes and said, "Prince Jing, I really have something very important to tell you."

Xiao Yan paused and turned to look at Song He who was pulling his clothes. Then he had to see if she had anything to say to him.

"What do you want to say?" There was no extra expression on Xiao Yan's well-defined face, and his eyebrows and eyes looked full of coldness.
