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

Song Yao and the others rested for a night, and went to the cave that Song Zizhou mentioned at 3:15 am the next morning.

There was no road now, so the horse-drawn carriage and mule-drawn cart remained where they were. But to be on the safe side, Song Yuanbo, Song He, and Song Qing were left behind to watch over the carriage.

Many people had been exiled here before, but they only saw a skeleton. Maybe other people were still alive, so they couldn't be given any chance to take advantage of them.

Led by Song Zizhou, Song Yao and others arrived at the cave after walking for half an incense stick of time.

The cave was spacious and could easily accommodate them. Moreover, the river was right behind the cave and close to them, making it very convenient for them to live here.

And in the cave, there was indeed the skeleton that Song Zizhou mentioned!

All the clothes on its body had rotted away, leaving nothing to indicate its identity, like an unknown corpse.

Song Yao said: "Let's bury this skeleton first!"

Song Silan said, "Ayao, he died in here. It would be creepy if we stayed here!"

Song Yao glanced at Song Silan and said, "There's no other place nearby that's as suitable as this. As long as we build a wall at the entrance of the cave and light a fire inside, it will be very warm inside. No matter how cold it is here, we don't have to fear the cold anymore."

Although Song Silan didn't want to live here, since Song Yao had already said so, she had no choice.

Song Zizhou called someone and together they picked up the skeleton from the ground.

It was still early today, so Song Yao immediately gathered everyone to clean up the cave.

While they were cleaning, Song Yao asked people to move stones from nearby. Once everything was ready, they could start tomorrow.

Everyone was busy, and Song Yao was not idle either. She collected the firewood nearby and piled it outside, then went into the cave to help.

It took everyone a whole morning to clean the cave.

It was still early and everyone had finished their work, so Song Yao asked everyone to go back to the carriage first.

After arriving, Song Yao distributed food to everyone. After everyone had eaten, she said, "Everyone, let's stay in the cave tonight. It's still early, so let's move these tents and various supplies into the cave first. Thank you for your hard work, and we'll have a big dinner tonight!"

Everyone became excited when they heard that there would be a big dinner in the evening.

Song Qing said with a smile: "What kind of feast do you want to have?"

Song Yao smiled and said, "Song Qing and I will go hunting. You guys go ahead and do your work. We'll have a barbecue tonight!"

Everyone knows that the seasoning made by Song Yao tastes very good when used on barbecue. As soon as everyone heard that they were going to have barbecue in the evening, they immediately divided the work and got busy.

Song Yao took two bows and arrows, called Song Qing and left.

Xiao Chi stood there, looking at Song Yao who was walking away, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing Xiao Chi staring at Song Yao's back, Song Zizhou frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Prince?"

Xiao Chi came back to his senses and looked at Song Zizhou, "What's wrong?"

"I see you're looking at A Yao." Song Zizhou said mischievously, "Are you jealous that she's going with Song Qing, instead of asking you to go with her?"

"..."

Xiao Chi's ears felt a little hot. He didn't want to answer, so he walked away.

Seeing that he avoided their question, Song Zizhou, Song Mingxuan, Song Qian and Song Jingmo looked at each other, then chuckled and went about their business.

They had several horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carts, and it would be troublesome if people were to move the goods. Finally, Song Zizhou came up with a solution and directly opened a path.

The distance from here to the cave would only take an afternoon, so they could dig a way out.

In this way, the carriage can be transported over and there is no need to leave it here, which would be a waste.

They got down to work right away. Song Zizhou brought ten hoes and shovels, while Song Jingmo brought eight machetes.

The servants and maids used knives to clear the trees and vines on the ground, while the others started digging around.

After working for an afternoon, they finally dug a way to the cave.

Before it got dark, they drove the horse-drawn carriage and mule-drawn cart directly to the entrance of the cave.

All the weeds and trees at the entrance of the cave have been cleared away. There is not a single weed on the ground, and it looks very clean.

When Song Yao and Song Qing came back carrying a deer, they found that the horse-drawn carriage and mule-drawn cart were gone, and there was a new road to Shandong.

"They are really amazing. They have dug the road!"

"There are so many of them, and more people means more things can be done!"

"Let's go there first."

"Ok!"

The two men carried the deer and continued towards the cave.

By dark, they had reached the cave.

The deer had not been processed yet, so Song Yao asked someone to carry the deer to the river to deal with it first.

After they carried the deer away, Song Yao sat down to rest, "Oh my god, I'm so tired!"

"Sister, you're back!" Song He greeted her.

Song Yao turned her head to look at Song He, who was holding Xiao Suisui in her arms. "Ah He, Song Qing and I caught a deer. Song Jingmo, Song Qian and the others took the deer to the river to process it. We're having barbecue tonight!"

"Okay!" Song He walked over to sit beside her, teasing the little Sui Sui in her arms, "Be good, little Sui Sui, call me mommy."

Xiao Sui Sui giggled at Song Yao, and her laughter almost melted Song Yao's heart, and all the fatigue of the afternoon disappeared.

She teased him for a while before looking at Song He, "Where's Xiao Chi?"

Song He said, "He's in the cave, helping you set up your tent!"

"Uh..." Song Yao was a little speechless, "What's there to decorate the tent with?"

Song He laughed, "He said the cave is damp and sleeping on the ground is bad for your health, so he arranged it for you."

Hearing this, Song Yao frowned.

Indeed, although it is warm inside the cave, if you just spread oilcloth and mattress on the ground, it will be very damp and not very warm.

I have to say, Xiao Chi is really thoughtful.

Song Yao came into the cave, where there were tents placed one after another.

Song Yao came to the door of her tent and just stood outside when she saw Xiao Chi spreading tiger skin on the ground.

There are more than one or two tiger skins here.

Seeing the tiger skins, Song Yao frowned, "Where did you get these tiger skins?"

They had tiger skins before, but E Yu and Feng Yingying both had children, and they had to keep them warm when sleeping, so they gave all the tiger skins to Feng Yingying and E Yu.

But on the ground inside the tent, there were five tiger skins!

Hearing Song Yao's voice, Xiao Chi turned around.

He went straight to Song Yao and explained to her the origin of these tiger skins.

It turned out that these tiger skins were bought by Xiao Chi in Jiangdu, and they were all bought specifically for her and her two children.

Song Yao glanced at the tiger skin in the tent, pursed her lips, and looked at Xiao Chi, "I won't thank you."

"No need to thank me. As long as you and your two children can sleep well, that's all that matters." Xiao Chi stared at her with his eyes, his eyebrows as gentle as a bay of water.
