Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 146 Farewell
Empress Su and Qi Nianrou had a good relationship, and now that there was such a big disturbance, she immediately sent a close female official to the mansion to inquire.

When she learned that Qi Nianrou had given birth prematurely because of Yan Hongjin, her expression suddenly changed: "Back then, the Yan family was in decline, and she didn't have a lowly status. It was a kindness to keep her alive. I didn't expect her to be wishful thinking and set up Yuguogong's mansion." idea!"

"I really underestimated her!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry," the female officer advised from the side, "Since the incident has happened, it is too late to ask for accountability. We should think about how to appease the Qi family."

His Majesty's health is declining day by day, the crown prince's position is still unstable, and there are other princes eyeing him, if he can get the Qi family's help, he will be like a tiger with wings added.

Grand Tutor Qi got a middle-aged daughter, and Qi Nianrou doted on him in every possible way. Now that his daughter has been wronged like this, how can Grand Tutor Qi not be angry?

Thinking of this, Empress Su has made a decision in her heart.

"Your Majesty still left a way for the Yan family to survive."

She let out a long sigh, remembering what Concubine Yan Gui did when she was in the harem back then, a layer of chill covered her eyes, and said: "Go, I don't want to see the Yan family again."

The female officer understood and took her order and went down.

The sky in the capital city suddenly changed, and heavy dark clouds slowly approached from the distant horizon. The autumn wind suddenly picked up, making the brocade in front of the tavern rattle, and occasionally falling a few wisps of cold rain.

The vendors on the street closed their stalls early, and it was rare for the city to be quiet, but at this moment, Duke Yuguo's mansion was extremely busy.

Qi Nianrou's condition suddenly deteriorated, and his lower body was bleeding profusely. After seeing it, the imperial physician shook his head regretfully, the meaning was self-evident.

"How could it be hopeless? Nian Rou is still so young, you must have not tried your best to save her!" Su Yuming grabbed Sun Zhongxing's collar excitedly.

Sun Zhongxing said helplessly: "Young Madam has a weak foundation, plus she was frightened and prematurely delivered, and lost too much blood. It's a blessing to be able to survive until today. Young Master, pardon me for my incompetence, and I can't save Young Madam."

These words completely drove Su Yuming into a desperate situation. Sun Zhongxing is known as the number one master in the Tai Hospital, and those who can't be saved by him probably really can't be saved.

Sun Zhongxing couldn't bear it and said: "Time is running out, you should go and see the young lady first."

Su Yuming took a deep breath, and finally stepped into the room.

The black clouds approached, almost touching the flying beasts on the corner of the eaves. The entire Yuguo Mansion felt unspeakably oppressive, and the servants were silent. They knew that the young lady probably wouldn't last tonight.
While everyone's attention was on Qi Nianrou, Yan Hongjin hugged the child and sneaked out through the back door.

The vendors on the street closed their stalls early, and occasionally a few or two pedestrians passed by, but they just wrapped their clothes and hurried home. No one noticed that two women with children were heading towards the city gate.

Surprisingly, it was very easy to get out of the city this time.

Yan Hongjin pawned all the jewelry before buying a carriage. She sat in the carriage with Ah Jing in her arms, A Bao leaned beside her, and He Shi was in charge of driving the carriage.

Ah Bao held on to his mother's clothes tightly, with a serious expression on his face, "Mother, are we really going to leave the capital?"

Yan Hongjin thought he was reluctant, and said softly: "Well, let's go to Jiangnan, it's beautiful there, and Ah Bao will definitely like it."

"But mother, Ah Bao is a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, Ah Bao, mother and sister will always be with you." Yan Hongjin took him into her arms and patted his back lightly.

As soon as the words fell, the carriage suddenly bumped, and Yan Hongjin subconsciously protected the two children.

Immediately afterwards, He's panicked voice came from outside: "Madam, don't come out with the child!"

"what happened?"

Through the gap, Yan Hongjin caught a glimpse of several black shadows flying out of the forest, the sharp blade in her hand glowing with a piercing cold light in the dark night.

This is no ordinary bandit, but a well-trained killer.

Who is it that would take so much trouble to send a killer to kill her?
Is it Yuguo's mansion, the Qi family, or...
Before she could think about it, those killers rushed up with gleaming knives and surrounded the carriage.

The leader of the man in black said: "Hand over Yan Hongjin, but you will not die."

Hearing this, Yan Hongjin's eyes turned cold, as they really came after her.

Seeing this scene, Ah Bao was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he just grabbed Yan Hongjin's sleeve and refused to let go.

Almost for a moment, Yan Hongjin didn't hesitate, lifted the cushion, stuffed A Bao in, and said: "A Bao, hide here, don't make a sound, you understand?"

"Mother, I'm afraid, don't leave Abao behind."

The wind outside was getting louder and louder, covering He's muffled groan in pain, Yan Hongjin held Ah Jing in one hand, and said solemnly: "A Bao, be obedient!"

"Mother."

"Abao, take good care of my sister, mother will come back to pick you up." After finishing speaking, she closed the lid and refused to get up.

As everyone knows, this parting is forever.

The little Abao hugged his little sister and hid in the carriage, watching his mother's plain skirt being dyed red, crying out in despair on a rainy night, gradually melting into a bloody picture.

The neighing of the horse, the noise of the rain, and the crying of the baby filled Bao's brain.

He forgot to cry, forgot to call for help, and forgot how he was separated from Ah Jing. He only knew that when he finally woke up, he had become a ghost doctor's disciple.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and the sound of the wind blowing by his ears was very similar to that nightmarish rainy night when he was young. Sun Fuzhi squinted his eyes, only to realize that he was already standing at the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.

At this moment, Jiang Liu happened to be going out, and seeing Sun Fuzhi standing at the door, he asked strangely, "Physician Sun, what are you doing standing here, are you looking for the prince?"

Sun Fuzhi twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, the jade pendant in his hand felt a little hot from covering it.

"Is the prince there? I have something to ask him."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Jiang Liu would answer or not, he had already entered the palace.

Jiang Liu looked at his back, feeling a bit puzzled by Erzhang Monk, "What's going on today? I'm worried."

Before Ling Youyao was injured, Sun Fuzhi stayed in the palace for a while, so all the servants knew him, and the housekeeper took the initiative to invite him to the study.

Fu Mingjue was surprised to see Sun Fuzhi, and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Sun Fuzhi pursed his lips and said nothing, only gently put the jade pendant that he had held all the way in front of Fu Mingjue.

"My lord, you already knew Lingling's identity, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Fu Mingjue's complexion did not change much, and he said lightly, "I know."

These two words pierced into Sun Fuzhi's heart like a knife. He tried his best to suppress his anger and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Are you planning to hide it from me just because she once harmed Princess Jing?!"
