During that time, he was frightened every day, but could not do anything: Emperor Chengming kept sending people to monitor him.
And he had always been an unpopular prince before, with only a handful of cronies around him and little strength.
Even if he wanted to save Su Ling'er, there was nothing he could do.
He didn't expect that Su Ling'er would actually marry that good-for-nothing Marquis Wanhu as his concubine!
He couldn't understand why she did this at the time, but later he learned that she did it just to protect the life of the child in her belly.
When he went to see her secretly that day, she whispered: "Little Shitou, will you keep it a secret for me?"
Prince Huai nodded: "Of course, sister Ling'er, it's too dangerous here, you have to find a way to escape!"
Su Ling'er smiled and said: "I am pregnant with Liujia now, so I have nowhere to escape."
"It's also my fault. I was always lucky before. I felt that things might not develop to this point. Some things were not arranged properly."
King Huai looked at her swollen belly and knew that running away would only make it more dangerous for a pregnant woman like her.
He said: "After Sister Ling'er gives birth to the child, I will find a way to take you out of the capital."
Su Ling'er chuckled and said, "Little Shitou is braver than before!"
Her compliment made him very embarrassed, but she added: "I came to you today because I really have something to ask you for help."
Prince Huai hurriedly said: "Sister Linger, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions directly."
Su Ling'er looked at him and said: "You will ask for a fiefdom next month. In order to show his benevolence and righteousness, Emperor Cheng Ming should give you an extremely wealthy fiefdom."
"After you get there, you can secretly collect food and train troops. This way you can't guarantee anything else, at least you won't let others bully you."
King Huai's eyes turned red: "I am living a good life, no one bullies me."
Su Ling'er's eyes were full of tenderness: "Little Shitou's mouth is still as hard as ever. Only children who have no one to hurt them can have a hard mouth!"
"Listen to your sister and marry a gentle woman after you get to the fiefdom. My sister will never marry you in this life."
Prince Huai's face turned red: "Sister, please stop teasing me!"
Su Ling'er chuckled, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I was just joking with you, but you are serious about it!"
"Don't be so serious in the future. People who are too serious will be too tired to live. My sister wants you to be happy in your future life."
King Huai choked and said nothing.
Su Ling'er added: "I will probably give birth to Miaoxin when you are sent to work in another place. Oh, Miaoxin is the name I gave my daughter."
"I may be in danger that day. If you are able to do so then, bring a female corpse that is close to me to Wanhuhou Mansion."
Prince Huai looked at her in shock. She chuckled and said, "As you expected, someone wants me to die."
"In order to make Emperor Cheng Ming believe that the child in my belly belongs to Marquis Wanhu, I deliberately angered Mrs. Li and made her regard me as a thorn in her side."
"Don't worry, although the back-house woman's methods are sinister, there are only a few kinds of methods that I can deal with."
Prince Huai looked at her and said, "Okay, I will definitely come to the Hou Mansion that day to pick up Sister Ling'er and leave the Hou Mansion."
"After leaving the Hou Mansion, sister Linger, follow me to the fiefdom!"
Su Ling'er chuckled lightly. She seemed to want to say something at that time, but in the end she said nothing. She just responded with a smile: "Okay."
King Huai didn't know what she meant at the time. He later understood her unfinished meaning after taking her out of the Marquis' Mansion.
When he sent the female corpse that was very similar to Su Ling'er into the Hou Mansion and took her out, something unexpected happened.
The carriage she was riding in fell off a cliff and fell into a fast-flowing river.
He spent a lot of effort to find her, searching the waterways of the river for hundreds of miles, but there was no trace of her.
She is truly alive and dead, and her body is never seen!
Over the years, King Huai felt extremely uncomfortable every time he thought of these things.
He said he would bring her to the fiefdom, but in the end he lost her.
When he saw a woman who looked exactly like her today, he really thought he was seeing her again.
He sighed quietly towards the dark river surface: "Sister Ling'er, I have done everything you asked me to do. Where are you now?"
The river was quiet and the waves were rushing forward, but no one answered his question.
His mood was extremely low for a while.
Tang Miaoxin was looking at Prince Huai in the cabin. He seemed to be aware of it, and she immediately looked away.
She felt that Prince Huai's reaction after seeing her was a bit strange, but she didn't know the whole story and couldn't figure out what Prince Huai was thinking.
After the door was closed and Prince Huai's people left the room, she had already beaten Zhou Chuntong with skillful force and knocked him awake.
Zhou Chuntong would shrink his neck like a quail, not daring to express his anger.
He was afraid of attracting Tang Miaoxin's attention and beating him violently.
Tang Miaoxin turned around and looked at him and asked, "When will King Huai plan to rebel?"
Zhou Chuntong: "..."
This problem is simply killing me!
The point is that she asked once before, and if he couldn't give an accurate answer if she asked again this time, he was afraid that she would kill him!
He said with a mournful face: "Ancestor, I really don't know about this!"
"I can't guess what the prince is thinking. Even I don't dare to guess!"
"Right now, the prince is just hoarding food and grass. I don't know where the soldiers and horses are!"
Tang Miaoxin saw his appearance and knew that he was not lying.
But this did not delay her dislike of him: "You don't know anything, what use do I need you for?"
Zhou Chuntong shrank his neck and said, "Yes, yes, I am the most useless!"
Tang Miaoxin felt a little itchy again when she saw his timid look.
Shuxiu was advising her: "Miss, don't get angry with a scumbag like him. We'd better find a way to go back first."
Now that they know where King Huai hides his grain, the next steps need to be carefully planned.
After all, Shuxiu and Mo Li's wedding is coming soon, so this matter cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible.
Now they must escape from King Huai as soon as possible in order to arrange the follow-up matters.
So now they have to keep a low profile.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at Zhou Chuntong coolly: "You're lucky, I won't beat you today."
Zhou Chuntong: "...Thank you!"
Tang Miaoxin gave him a big eye roll.
Shuxiu looked on with amusement.
Entering the city from here, taking the waterway was faster than traveling by horse-drawn carriage. At the beginning of Haishi, they returned to Huaicheng.
When they got off the boat, Tang Miaoxin and Shuxiu helped Zhou Chuntong get off the boat.
The wind in the spring night blew Tang Miaoxin's hair. At that moment, Prince Huai seemed to realize something and turned to look at her:
Under the wind lamp, she was as bright and beautiful as a newly blooming peach blossom.
