As soon as the sky dawned, Manmei set off on her journey.
It's a very simple carriage. It looks like an ordinary carriage that doesn't look very impressive, but the interior is very luxurious. It's covered with a black bearskin blanket and has two silver frost charcoal incense cages. Now that I'm pregnant, I can't smell it, so there's no incense.
, it was warm and comfortable as soon as I entered the carriage.
Zhuangzi was very far away, and the carriage didn't dare to go any faster. At this speed, it would take two hours to reach Zhuangzi outside the city.
Manmei thought that it was only four hours, so she might as well take a good nap. She was already very sleepy now, and the groom was a master of his craft for decades. He drove the car very steadily, and the horse's hooves beat evenly, making her want to sleep just listening to it.
Bedding had been prepared in the carriage for her to sleep on, and the time passed quickly when she fell asleep.
Zhuxiang covered her with a quilt, and sat on one side to do some sewing. There were some little bellybands and little shoes and socks for children, which looked very cute.
The child was conceived in the twelfth lunar month, and the baby will probably be born around September. Confinement is very good, neither cold nor hot. The second wife of the Huangfu family said that he is a sensible child and knows not to trouble his parents.
When Manmei was sleeping just right, she suddenly heard the sound of swords clashing outside, mixed with the guards shouting loudly.
The carriage suddenly accelerated and began to gallop.
She was shaken and almost fell to the ground. Zhuxiang quickly grabbed her and protected her under him. At the same time, he also grabbed the stool fixed in the carriage to prevent the two of them from being thrown off the carriage together.
"Who is out there?" Manmiao doubted that the person who came was sent by Emperor Lan Ling. Otherwise, who would be so intentional about sending someone to assassinate a powerless official lady?
Only Lan Ling can know the importance of Manmei in Lan Ting's mansion.
Although Lan Ting said that no one would leak the news, how could anything in this world be absolutely guaranteed? Lan Ting could place spies around Lan Ling, but couldn't the other party do the same? It's very difficult to know that Manwei was pregnant.
normal.
Zhuxiang lay on the window and looked at it, then leaned down and said, "Many people came, all with their faces covered. They look like they are ambushing us."
Manmiao wanted to take a look for herself, but she couldn't stand the trouble now. If something happened, the assassin didn't do anything to her, so he had to miscarry herself first.
Although she had always felt that the ancient women played in TV dramas were so delicate that they could miscarry just by taking a few steps, her child was not easy to come by, and she could not handle it carelessly.
The guards were constantly fighting with the incoming enemies. The ambushers must have taken advantage of the surprise attack. Fortunately, the guards brought by Lan Ting were not vegetarians either. Although the sound of swords clashing could be heard, there were also arrows hitting the carriage.
There was no sound, but the carriage kept running quickly but steadily, and the horses of the guards continued to follow.
Zhuxiang asked Manmiao to grab something fixed, and she secretly lay on the car window to watch the situation, constantly reporting the battle situation to her.
There were more than two hundred guards sent by Lan Ting, and there was no way they could all be dispersed at once. There were more than a hundred guards who escorted her at first, but now it seems that more than half are left.
The attackers gradually caught up. Zhuxiang's replies became more and more frequent, and it was clear that the battle was becoming more intense. She kept looking back and forth from the two car windows, and her face began to show worry.
"What is going on here? Why doesn't Lan Ting send someone to walk the road first?!" Manmei couldn't help complaining. Most people can't stand this kind of escape, let alone a pregnant woman like her?
Zhuxiang didn't speak. She lay there and watched for a while, then suddenly said with joy, "There are reinforcements, wearing the clothes of the Huangfu family, killing those assassins!"
Manmiao felt relieved when she heard this. It seemed that Huangfu Xun's reaction was timely and saved her life again.
Those people cooperated with the guards of Prince Yi's Mansion and began to kill the attackers. The battle soon ended, and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down and became stable again.
Zhuxiang helped Manmiao sit up and checked if she was okay. Manmiao rubbed her belly for a while before nodding to her and saying, "I'm okay."
Hearing her words, Zhuxiang showed a sigh of relief and shouted out the window, "Miss, everything is okay!"
At this moment, I suddenly felt a burst of white smoke coming in from the window. The bamboo incense head was lying on the window, inhaling, and I softened at that time.
Manmei saw that something was wrong. She wanted to hold her breath but was too late. She only took a small breath, and her head began to feel dizzy. She couldn't help but soften. Fortunately, she was leaning against the wall of the carriage, and she was just sliding along slowly.
Just go down.
She instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was going on. The smoke was getting thicker and thicker. She couldn't hold her breath for a long time. She found a way out as soon as she took a breath. Her consciousness only resisted for a moment, and she fell unconscious.
.
When Manmei was half asleep and half awake, she felt someone was touching her belly. She impatiently knocked his hand off, "Don't make trouble, I want to sleep."
After saying that, he remembered that Lan Ting had said that he would go to court today, how could he catch up with her so quickly?
When he opened his eyes, he was so shocked that he forgot to cover his mouth. The person in front of him was actually Shan Boyuan!
He was still pale, wearing snow-white clothes and a white jade dragon crown. She woke up so quickly that before Shan Boyuan could even take his hands off her belly, she was already pale with fear.
"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be pregnant." Shan Boyuan's tone was very calm, just like the usual pleasantries between friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.
Thinking that his doctor diagnosed and treated him and said that he was infertile, it seemed that there might be something wrong with him.
Manmei lowered her face, "What do you want, Your Highness Shan?" As she spoke, she looked at the surroundings. She was now in a room with unfamiliar furnishings. Zhuxiang and others were not in the room either, "My
Where is the maid?"
Shan Bo clapped his hands from afar, and his red sleeves, green robe, green clothes, and purple hairpin all came out from behind the screen to salute her.
"Where are my maids?" Manmiao asked persistently without looking at the four maids, looking directly at Shan Boyuan, "And my guards."
How could Shan Boyuan not know what she was thinking, and shook his head slightly, "I just ordered someone to restrain your guards and maids. The guards were abandoned on the road and should have returned to Prince Yi's Mansion by now. I took the maid with me.
She's here, but she's locked up somewhere else. It's not appropriate for you to meet her now."
"What's inappropriate for me to meet my maid?" Manmiao has not had a good impression of Shan Boyuan ever since she found out that Shan Boyuan had cheated on her, especially since Shan Boyuan looked like a consumptive ghost and actually had martial arts skills.
, which really surprised her. This was really a complex of contradictions. Fortunately, Manmei thought, there would be no friendship in the future. If we could not meet, it would be best not to meet.
