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

Xiao Chi didn't say anything. He picked up the memorial on the desk, opened it, took a look at it, and closed it again.

A deep voice said, "The Emperor didn't get much money from the Song family this time, but the Song family is so wealthy that it rivals a country. He believes that the Song family hid most of their wealth, which is why they didn't get much when they raided their house."

Xiao Chi leaned back in the armchair. He raised his bony fingers and pinched his brows. "The Emperor has asked me to recover the Song family's hidden property."

Xie Cheng frowned and said, "Your Highness, this time it was Eunuch Zhao who led the raid. He is the Emperor's confidant. If the Song family had hidden any gold, silver, or jewelry on their bodies before being exiled, he would have surely taken it. That's why they probably didn't take any of the Song family's property with them."

"Hmm." Xiao Chi narrowed his eyes, "They should be hiding somewhere in the capital."

Xie Cheng frowned even more tightly, "Your Highness, the capital is so big, how can we find it?"

Xiao Chi picked up the memorial in front of him again and said, "Go and count the silver and gold that I have stored in the bank, and use my own to fill in the gap first."

"Your Highness..." Xie Cheng bowed, "You absolutely cannot do this. You and the princess have already divorced. You must not interfere in her affairs anymore."

Xiao Chi looked at him with a cold look in his eyes, "Xie Cheng, when did it become your turn to take care of my affairs?"

"Your Highness, I dare not." Xie Cheng's brows were tightly knitted together, as if he could pinch a fly to death.

Xiao Chi pondered for a moment, his gaze softened, and he glanced at Xie Cheng, "Go tell Li Zhao to go and protect the princess. No mistakes can be made."

Xie Cheng stood up straight and looked at Xiao Chi in disbelief. He really didn't understand. He and Song Yao had already divorced, so why did he still care about her life or death?

Could it be that...his prince still loves Song Yao?

Apart from this, Xie Cheng did not receive any explanation.

Xie Cheng bowed, "Your Highness, I will go find Li Zhao right away."

"Yeah." Xiao Chi opened the memorial and started reading.

……

Song Yao and his companions traveled for a whole day, and when the sun was setting, they chose a flat area in the wilderness to set up camp.

After last night's lesson, they didn't dare to camp near the woods again.

Hopefully there won't be any more blunders tonight.

It was late at night and everyone went to bed, so Song Yao also went to sleep.

Song Yao couldn't fall asleep because she had a lot of things on her mind. When she was about to fall asleep, a low cry of pain was heard outside.

Song Yao opened her eyes suddenly, picked up the sword beside her, walked to the shaft of the carriage, looked outside for a few times, and seeing that there was no one, she got off the carriage.

After listening carefully, I heard several sounds again from the campfire on the night watchman's side.

"what!"

"what!"

These two calls were very short and sounded very abnormal.

Song Yao walked to the nearest carriage and stopped. She stuck her head out and glanced towards the campfire, and saw four men in black there.

They killed all the eight servants who were watching the fire!

If Song Yao wasn't pregnant, she would have rushed up right now.

Because she was pregnant, she couldn't act rashly, so she went straight to the tent where Han Ji was resting.

"Han Ji."

Song Yao pulled open the tent curtain and called out softly,

Han Ji is a military general, and any little disturbance can wake him up.

He opened his eyes quickly and saw Song Yao, so he came to her. Just as he was about to speak, Song Yao slipped into the tent and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Seeing Song Yao's actions, Han Ji knew that something must have happened outside.

"Han Ji, four men in black are outside. They have killed the night watchman. I guess they were sent by Xu Lingyi to kill me."

"Don't be afraid, Princess. I will kill them right away!" Han Ji took his sword and went out without even wearing armor.

Song Yao followed behind him, and the four men in black saw Han Ji and Song Yao coming at a glance!

Song Yao guessed correctly that they were indeed the people sent by Xu Lingyi, because when they saw her, they drew their swords and rushed towards her without saying a word.

Han Ji took the lead and Song Yao took care of the aftermath.

Since Song Yao came here, she has not exercised for a long time because of her pregnancy.

Once she makes a move, it's over and she won't be able to stop.

Under Han Ji's surprised gaze, he saw Song Yao kill the four men in black effortlessly.

Han Ji racked his brains but couldn't figure out where he had seen the tricks she used.

After dealing with those men in black, Song Yao finally remembered that she was pregnant.

She was filled with fear, covering her stomach and standing quietly for a while. Seeing that there was nothing unusual in her stomach, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

Han Ji walked up to Song Yao and asked in confusion, "Princess, are you injured in the abdomen?"

Song Yao was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "It was just a moment of discomfort, but I'm fine now."

"Princess, you go and rest first. I will keep watch tonight." Han Ji said.

"Okay." Song Yao didn't bother to be polite with him and nodded in agreement.

After returning to the carriage, Song Yao lay down and quietly felt her stomach.

There was still nothing unusual, so I felt relieved.

However, those people were sent by Xu Lingyi, and they failed. So will Xu Lingyi send more people?

If so, you must be careful in the coming period.

As she was thinking, Song Yao fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, she was awakened by a loud noise.

Slowly sitting up, Song Yao checked between her legs and saw no blood, which made her feel completely relieved.

Huaying came to the carriage and said, "Miss, let me help you wash and dress."

"Okay." Song Yao nodded and yawned.

Huaying brought water and helped Song Yao wash up, then began to do her makeup.

"Huaying, what happened outside?"

"Miss, several people who were on night watch are dead, including four men in black. Those who were on night watch must have been killed by these men in black. Now they are all very scared."

“Fear is a good thing.”

"Ah?" Huaying paused as she was dressing her hair. "Miss, how can being afraid be a good thing? What if a few more assassins come tonight? Everyone will be so nervous, it's definitely not a good thing."

Song Yao smiled softly and said nothing more.

After dressing up and changing into a sky-blue dress, Song Yao went out.
