When Li Jingfu thought that his princess climbed out of the coffin, he felt frightened all over. He felt that the smell of tung oil used to paint the coffin was lingering in his nose.
Aunt Sun noticed Prince Qian's invisible trembling, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Li Jingfu took a sip of tea to calm down his shock. He put down the tea cup and glared at his concubine: "Why are you mentioning her when you have nothing to do? It's bad luck!"
Aunt Sun patted her mouth in a gesture, and said weakly: "It's my fault, it's not my fault. I blame my talk for making you unhappy. I should slap you!"
Li Jingfu ignored her and was worried about another thing.
When the Xia family was buried, the emperor's old nephew suspected that he had come up with a bad idea to preserve the incense of his heir.
Now that the Xia family is back from the dead, will the emperor's nephew be convinced that he did it on purpose?
It seems that this time he must have left an impression on the emperor's nephew as a cunning and cunning person.
Ouch!
What's all this about?
The conversations in the carriage between the other stepsons were almost the same, and most of the topics revolved around Xia Jing's resurrection from the dead.
The night gradually fell, and the convoy under the night slowed down due to the obstruction of sight. The old emperor's team was at the front, and they had no intention of stopping.
They represented the emperor's wishes. The other officials and noble families who were fleeing behind them did not dare to say a word no matter how tired they were. They could only grit their teeth and move on.
Housekeeper Yan and a few boys drove the carriage and distributed the dry food and water prepared in the afternoon to the guards of his palace along the way.
The tired and hungry guard received the dry food and water, so he naturally thanked Butler Yan.
Butler Yan did not dare to take credit, and bluntly said that it was all arranged by the princess.
When they heard that it was arranged by the resurrected princess, all the guards were stunned. They kept their gratitude in their hearts and did not need to express it openly.
Hongmei saw her master leaning on the wooden couch with a lazy posture and looking into the endless darkness outside the car window. She didn't know what she was thinking.
She noticed that the guards outside were nibbling dry food, and reminded her softly: "Princess, it's time for dinner."
Xia Jing restrained her wandering thoughts and gave a faint hum.
After Hongmei had set out the cakes and teapot, she sat up to eat.
Multigrain pancakes with only a little salt are not considered delicious and can only be used to fill the stomach.
But this simple food seemed to taste supremely delicious in Xia Jing's hands.
Hongmei, who was waiting nearby, became hungrier and hungrier. By the time Xia Jing finished eating, she felt like she could eat a cow.
Xia Jing smiled: "I don't need you to wait here. There are still a lot of pancakes in the food box. Let's share them with Bai Mei."
Hongmei left with a blushing face and sat on the shaft of the cart outside with her food box in hand, sharing the remaining pancakes with Baimei and the cart driver.
Xia Jing was left alone in the carriage. She was lying on the couch and her energy was flowing out, constantly stretching out to check the surrounding situation.
Finding nothing unusual around her, she withdrew her mental power and used it to practice threading.
With her previous experience in controlling mental power, it is not difficult to practice it again. What is difficult is to practice it again with this body. If she wants to grow in her own space, she must re-cultivate her mental power.
But before the mental energy was exhausted today, there was a commotion behind the team.
Xia Jing opened her eyes suddenly, and her sharp gaze met Hongmei who had opened the curtain and came in.
Hongmei froze, "Princess Wang."
Xia Jing looked away and sat up, "What happened next?"
"It's not clear yet. The captain of the guard has sent people to the back to find out the news."
"Oh." Xia Jing responded casually and got down to put on her shoes.
But before she had put on her shoes, the carriage suddenly accelerated. Due to the inertia, Xia Jing leaned forward and was about to hit the table in front of her.
At the critical moment, Xia Jing's body twisted to the side in a strange posture, and she used the inertia to sit on the wooden bench next to her, and her back hit the car wall hard.
"hiss!"
It hurts!
But no injuries!
Hongmei was not spared either. She just got into the car door and rolled out again. Fortunately, the driver and Baimei caught her in time.
As the coachman drove the carriage, he loudly warned the two maids: "Hold the shaft of the carriage and sit down, be careful not to fall down and be trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves!"
"Mother concubine!"
Xiaowu, who went out to ride a horse not long ago, is back.
Xia Jing leaned towards the car window and asked, "What happened behind the scenes?"
"Now I only know that there was an attack behind me. Those who wanted to know what happened haven't come back yet." Li Chengmu glanced at the flickering firelight in the team behind him worriedly.
Then he looked away and warned her: "The team has speeded up now. Concubine, you have to catch me. Don't bump into me."
Xia Jing's heart tightened, she stared at Li Chengmu and said solemnly: "Xiao Wu, no matter what happens later, don't run around and stay away from me, do you understand?"
She doesn't care about other people, but she wants to protect the original owner's only son!
Li Chengmu thought that Xia Jing was scared and wanted him to accompany him. The young man tried his best to give a comforting smile: "Mom, don't worry, my son will protect you and will never let you get hurt!"
Looking at the boy's sincere smile across the torch, Xia Jing's heart was slightly touched. It felt good to be protected by her son!
She raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I believe you!"
When Li Chengmu heard the firm words coming from Xia Jing's mouth, his eyes were filled with joy in an instant, just like a child who had been praised and affirmed by his parents. He was full of pride and wanted to show it in front of his parents right away and prove himself.
Very strong!
Xia Jing looked at the young man wearing bright clothes and angry horse outside the carriage, and smiled knowingly, "It's great to be young!"
After running at full speed for half an hour, the speed slowly slowed down, and the chaotic team slowly regained order.
At this time, Xia Jing also knew what was going on behind. At first everyone thought that the enemy was chasing them, but later they found out that the team at the back was plundered by bandits!
The bandits did not dare to provoke the large troops in front, and like rats in the gutter, they picked out the weak ones, broke up the troops behind them, looted and ran away, without giving the troops in front any time to react.
Really abominable!
The team that had followed the emperor all the way from the capital was exhausted after tonight's encounter. When they reached a wide area, the emperor finally ordered to camp on the spot to rest.
"Concubine, your tent will be pitched in the center of our team tonight." Li Chengmu ran over after taking a good look at the terrain.
Xia Jing glanced at Mu Xiu Yulin's luxurious tent in the middle and shook her head, "No, I'll camp here, right next to my carriage. If I find something wrong, it's easy to escape."
Xia Jing's words were half-joking and half-serious. For a moment, Li Chengmu couldn't tell whether she wanted to stay away from his father's tent, or whether she really thought it would be easier to escape here.
"Then I'll stay here too, and I'll accompany you!" Li Chengmu didn't understand, so he simply stayed with his mother and concubine.
He waved to the boy and quickly helped him pitch the tent.
Xia Jing stared at the guards and maids busy, and pushed her son who was close to her, "Don't just sit here and watch your servants busy, go and help yourself. If no one is there to serve you in the future,
Aren’t you going to sleep and eat and have lunch?”
Li Chengmu was pushed forward and staggered forward, his head covered with black lines, "."
