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

Tonight it was Song Zizhou and three other servants who were on guard. At four o'clock in the morning, Song Zizhou and the other two servants had fallen asleep, leaving only one servant who could not even open his eyes to keep watch.

After half an incense stick of time, the servant finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.

Song Liangji, who was watching in the dark, patted Song Shi and Song Jingmo beside him.

They had been guarding here for two hours and had all fallen asleep, except Song Liangji who was still awake.

The two were woken up, and Song Liangji lowered his voice and said, "The night watchman has fallen asleep. Let's go quickly. Be sure to be quiet and don't make any noise."

Song Shi and Song Jingmo, who were still half asleep, hummed in agreement. They rubbed their eyes, forcing themselves to wake up, and then followed Song Liangji into Song Yao's camp.

In order not to wake them up, Song Liangji and his companions did not make any noise at all. They were extremely cautious and nervous.

Soon they came to one of the mule carts loaded with food.

Song Shi and his colleagues untied the rope that tied the oilcloth and pulled it open. They saw rice, flour, potatoes, dozens of cabbages, radishes, etc. inside.

When they saw these foods, Song Shi and the others' eyes lit up and they became excited instantly.

Song Liangji lowered his voice, "Hurry!"

Song Jingmo and Song Shi took out two large cabbages, three liters of rice, and thirty dry cakes.

In order to prevent Song Yao and others from discovering, Song Liangji did not let Song Jingmo and others take it.

After covering and tying up the oilcloth again, they quietly left the camp and returned to Song Jiaqi.

Song Liangji woke up Song Jiaqi, "Brother, we succeeded!"

Song Jiaqi opened his eyes and was very happy to see them coming back with two bags of food.

He didn't even bother to sleep, and got up and said to Song Liangji, "Let's cook it now."

Song Liangji frowned and asked in confusion: "Brother, it's only the fourth watch now, isn't it too early?"

Song Jiaqi said, "Idiot! What if they find out the food is missing at dawn? They will definitely blame us. Let's cook and eat it first, so they won't find out we took it."

Song Shi whispered, "But we took a lot of food, we definitely can't finish it."

Song Jiaqi thought for a moment and said, "Take out some food, and then hide the rest. When you leave tomorrow, take it out and hide it on your body. That way, they won't find it."

"That's a good idea!" Song Liangji smiled, picked up some food, and handed the rest to Song Shi and Song Jingmo, "Go dig a hole and hide it."

"Okay!" Song Jingmo agreed and immediately left with Song Shi carrying the food.

Song Liangji called Song Qingyin, Gao Shuyu, and Song Qin and asked them to cook quickly.

They looked at Song Liangji with sleepy eyes, completely not understanding what he meant.

So Gao Shuyu asked, "Master, where does the food come from?"

"Oh, don't worry about it for now, let's light the fire and cook." Song Liangji was afraid that if they delayed any longer, they would be discovered.

Upon hearing this, Gao Shuyu didn't ask any more questions and immediately called Song Qingyin and the others to light the fire and cook.

……

The next morning, just as Song Yao finished washing up, Old Man Xu came to the outside of the tent and asked, "Miss, is it convenient now?"

"Old man, please come in." Song Yao's voice came from the tent.

Old Man Xu opened the curtain and entered the tent. After Huaying left, he sat down on the ground and checked Song Yao's pulse.

After a while, Old Man Xu withdrew his hand and looked at Song Yao, "Miss, your pulse is stable."

"She's more than three months pregnant now, and she'll give birth in another seven months." Song Yao said seriously, "With her belly growing bigger day by day, we won't be able to hide it from them for much longer."

Old Man Xu said, "Miss, you will encounter many troubles along the way. If you are pregnant, I am afraid it will be very inconvenient in the future. In my opinion, you should stay in the city for the last two months and wait until you give birth before setting off again."

Song Yao said helplessly: "I want to, but the situation does not allow it."

If staying for a few days is fine, Han Ji will definitely make some concessions because she is the princess.

But if she stayed for a month or two, she wouldn't be able to ask for it.

Old Man Xu hesitated for a long time, then frowned and asked, "Young lady, there is something I don't understand."

"Old man, you say."

"Since you are going to visit your relatives, why are there soldiers following you?"

Old Man Xu had always wanted to ask about this, but he was afraid of saying too much. So, he couldn't help it and asked.

They were going to be exiled, and Song Yao couldn't keep it a secret from Old Man Xu. After thinking for a moment, Song Yao said, "Old sir, I lied to you. We weren't going to Fengzhou to visit relatives at all. It was because my cousin offended the emperor that the whole family was exiled. There were both old and young people in this group, which was inconvenient. That's why I lied to you and asked you to go with us to Fengzhou."

Old Man Xu's eyes showed surprise. "What? Exile?"

He had always thought they were going to Fengzhou to visit relatives, but he never expected that they were actually exiled to Fengzhou by the emperor?!

"That incident wasn't our fault. We were all implicated." Song Yao sighed. She looked at Old Man Xu and said, "Old man, I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you for so long. If you don't want to follow me, I'll give you some food and let you go. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Old Man Xu is already old, and the world is in turmoil now. Even if he wants to leave, where can he go?

It's not a dead end.

Old Man Xu looked at Song Yao and spoke without hesitation, "Girl, I'm almost dead and have nowhere to go. Plus, the current situation isn't good. If I leave, I'll be dead! I'm already old, and I don't want to end up with a torn corpse. So I'll always follow you. I just hope you don't mind."

Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "Old sir, you are the only doctor in our team. We are eager to curry favor with you, so how could we dislike you?"

I have to say that this feeling of being needed and respected is really good.

Song Zizhou came into the tent and saw Old Man Xu there. He greeted him and then looked at Song Yao. However, his eyes were a little annoyed. "Ayao, the food on our mule cart was stolen."

Song Yao stood up and walked in front of Song Zizhou, "I know."

Song Zizhou frowned, puzzled, "Do you know who stole it?"

"Except Song Jiaqi and the others, there is no one else within a hundred miles. Tell me, who else could it be besides them?" Song Yao opened the curtain and walked out.
