On the official road to the east, a carriage was running quickly. In the carriage were two men, two pregnant women, and a child. They were Lu Fan, Luo Lianyi, Feng Lin, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Gudong.
It turned out that Feng Lin and Xiao Yu got married under the auspices of Qinglianmen Yunmeng. The two took Xiao Gudong down the mountain and came to the capital to do some small business to make a living. Later, they found out that the prince and the princess returned to the palace and were
The emperor was imprisoned in the prison, so he disguised himself as a food delivery boy, sneaked into the prison, took the incense, rescued the two of them, and escaped from the city.
"Let's disguise ourselves. It would be terrible if the emperor sends someone to catch us, and Feng Lin and Xiao Yu will be implicated." Luo Lianyi suggested.
Little Gudong took out a package of things from his arms and said, "Okay, I still have the mask that Sister Xiaozhu left for me."
Several people were busy dressing up. After stopping in a small town, Feng Lin got off the car and bought some clothes. After everyone changed into them, they all turned into ordinary businessmen.
"Okay, we don't have to rush on our way in such a hurry. Let's walk slowly. The two pregnant women can't bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling." Liu Fan suggested.
Feng Lin said: "We might as well find a farmer's family and stay there first, and then we can leave after they give birth to a baby."
"That's fine. After the baby is born, we can meet up with Xiaozhu and the others, and then we can discuss future matters." Liu Fan agreed.
They found a house at the foot of a mountain, gave them some silver, and asked them to repair the house, make it clean and tidy, and live there.
After Liu Hongjing returned to the palace from the prison, he wanted to send pursuers to chase them, but Concubine Xue Shu stopped him. She said that they must be afraid when they ran away. If they were chased, they would run for their lives. The princess was pregnant with a child, and she would accidentally hurt her.
His health was in bad shape, so Liu Hongjing thought about it and gave up.
"Concubine Shu, then I may not let them live outside forever?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, you can send people to make secret visits after the situation calms down. As long as you know where they are hiding, you can secretly take care of them. Don't scare them," Concubine Xue Shu said.
Liu Hongjing nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."
Liu Hongjing's body returned to his prime, and he became more wise and powerful. He devoted all his energy to regulating state affairs. Under his command, Xiling became increasingly powerful. He wanted to appoint Concubine Xue Shu as his queen, but Concubine Shu repeatedly refused and refused to accept the name.
In Concubine Shu's opinion, the exiled queen will eventually come back and keep her place. Even if the emperor is a kind of compensation for her debt, it is also a kind of forgiveness for her fault.
The people sent undercover to investigate have yet to find the whereabouts of the prince and the princess. Liu Hongjing's heart became increasingly longing for them, often with a look of sadness.
That evening, after dinner, he stood on the porch again, missing his relatives.
"Your Majesty, I guess the places they are most likely to go to are the Qinglian Gate and the border of Dongling. Can't the people sent to make secret visits find them?" Concubine Xue Shu asked softly.
Liu Hongjing shook his head: "No news."
Concubine Xue Shu frowned, suddenly remembering something, and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember when the princess first entered the palace?"
"Liang Fengyu?" Liu Hongjing's eyes lit up.
"Yes! We forgot, they will dress up in disguise! How can we find them if they wear makeup?" Xue Shufei said.
Liu Hongjing frowned, pondered for a while and said, "Then what should I do? These two guys started playing cat-cat with me!"
Concubine Xue Shu thought for a while and said, "I do have a way to lure out the princess."
"Speak quickly!" Liu Hongjing said hurriedly.
"The princess is a medical woman, and she is kind and benevolent. The people who send secret visits only need to pretend to be ill and no one can treat them. The princess will definitely come out to treat the illness," Concubine Xue Shu said.
Liu Hongjing nodded slightly: "Well, I will immediately send more people to search to the east and south, and let them pretend to be sick along the way."
"If they are really disguised, I guess they can't hide far. The princess is pregnant, and the prince will definitely take care of her health. He is worried that the long journey will be detrimental to the child. I feel that they are not far away outside the imperial capital.
Far away." Concubine Xue Shu said.
"Okay! Then I will increase my efforts to search within a few hundred miles around here." Liu Hongjing immediately summoned Governor Yin and asked him to get started.
In the small farmyard outside the city, several men and women were chatting and laughing. The woman was choosing vegetables with a big belly, and the man was drying millet. It was a happy scene.
"Xiaoyu, did the baby kick your stomach today?" The person holding a bunch of chili peppers was Luo Lianyi. She asked as she skewered the chili peppers.
Xiaoyu touched her belly sweetly and nodded: "Kicked, oh, now we are making a fuss again."
"Really? Let me listen." Feng Lin threw away the farm tools in his hands, ran over happily, and put his face on Xiaoyu's belly.
"Haha, Lianyi, are our children making trouble?" Lu Fan saw that Feng Lin was amused and quickly threw away his farm tools and ran to Luo Lianyi's side.
"What a joke. I saw he was practicing kung fu in there, kicking here and there." Luo Lianyi said with a smile. Sure enough, the child in her belly could even kick her skirt.
one time.
"Awesome! Hahaha." Liu Fan laughed.
Little Gudong pouted and ran over and said, "You should hurry up and give birth. I will have a little friend after birth. It's so boring to play with you big friends all the time."
"Little Gudong, when the baby is born, the task of washing and peeing will be left to you." Luo Lianyi said to him with a smile.
Little Gudong held his forehead and made a miserable gesture: "I won't do it! I protest!"
"The protest is ineffective!" Liu Fan laughed.
"Yes, the protest is invalid. In addition to mine and Xiaoyu's children, as well as sister Xiaozhu's and sister Wuyou's, they are all yours to wash." Luo Lianyi agreed.
"Then am I their eldest brother or uncle?" Little Gudong asked, rubbing his head.
Lu Fan and the others were amused by his question. Liu Fan asked: "Do you want to be the eldest brother or the uncle?"
"Of course I want to be the big brother. When they grow up, I will be their boss. Hahaha, whoever dares to yell at me, I will expose the embarrassing story of them having to poop and pee when they were young." Little Gudong laughed proudly.
.
"Good idea! But if you do this, you will have to change your name to uncle and aunt." Liu Fan clapped his hands and said.
"I don't want to be an aunt!"
"I don't want to be an aunt either!"
Luo Lianyi and Xiao Yu protested in unison.
"The protest is invalid! Auntie!" Xiao Gudong imitated their previous tone and said with a grimace.
"Two aunties, you are no longer little girls. You must accept this fact." Liu Fan opened his arms and embraced Luo Lianyi and Xiao Yu, teasing them with a smile.
"Yes, mother-in-law." Feng Lin came over and pinched Xiao Yu's face.
"What if my mother-in-law gets fatter in the future? She won't crush me when she gets angry, right?" Liu Fan also pinched Luo Lianyi's face.
"You nuisances!" Luo Lianyi grabbed Lu Fan with her backhand and shouted.
