Chapter 44 His Highness is sick
Just after Cheng Chong threw the bag of dry food out, the victims saw the bag of dry food flying around and ran towards the bag of dry food, which made a way for them.

Cheng Chong drove the carriage towards the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate saw them and turned them away with a cold face.

"Let's go, let's go, the city gate won't open."

Who knew if the victims would rush in after opening the city gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a bag of silver was thrown out of the carriage and fell into his arms with great precision.

"Please be accommodating when I come to the city to visit my relatives."

Chu Yan's voice was a little gentle. He just gently lifted the car curtain, revealing half of his face. The soldier guarding the city held the bag of silver in his hand and looked at Chu Yan.

There was a look of embarrassment on his face, but in the end, money defeated his reason.

He looked at the victims in the distance who were snatching the dry food, and quickly opened the city gate to a gap for the carriage to pass through: "Hurry in."

After they entered, the city gate was closed again. Some sharp-eyed victims saw the closed city gate before they could run over.

As soon as she entered Guanzhou City, Cui Ying could feel the difference. There were hungry people everywhere outside, but the city was peaceful.

This place seems to have never been affected by the outside world. The number of vendors on both sides of the street has not decreased at all, but Cui Ying found that the prices at those food stores have quietly increased a lot.

Cheng Chong drove a carriage to a yard. This was the yard prepared by Ying Dong. It was not big, but it was enough to accommodate the few of them.

The courtyard was in a busy city with only a few rooms. Cui Ying put her hand on Chu Yan's and walked down with him. The two of them were dressed plainly and looked like an ordinary couple.

"Sir, there is someone."

Cheng Chong walked in from the door and said something to Chu Yan. Chu Yan nodded, with a smile on his face, and his voice was much louder: "Let's rest today. We will go out tomorrow. I don't know how my uncle and the others are doing now."

His voice was soft and his tone was somewhat gentle. He held Cui Ying's waist with one hand and her Rouyi with the other, and led her into the courtyard.

The person monitoring him probably just knew that the city gate was open and someone was coming in. They were afraid that it was someone with status and face, and Ying Dong was pretending to be him to attract attention, and those people would not notice him so quickly.

The two entered the house, Dongyue was packing things outside, and Hubo went to make medicine for Cui Ying. Cui Ying's face was a little pale, and Chu Yan looked at her with deep eyes.

The government doctor said that one of the birth control pills she took was a strong drug. If she was not careful, she might not be able to get pregnant in her lifetime.

Did she know there would be such consequences and take it regardless of the consequences, or did Amber hide it from her?

"House, husband, I want to take a rest."

As soon as Cui Ying started speaking, she saw Chu Yan's lowered eyes. There was a smile in his eyes, which made Cui Ying feel a little embarrassed and her face turned red.

"What happened to my face?"

Could it be that I did something wrong just now?

As soon as he looked at her, she felt uncomfortable.

Chu Yan sat next to her and raised his hand to brush off the fallen flowers from her hair: "My husband naturally wants to see more of your beautiful lady."

The man came close to her, took her into his arms and whispered, "There is someone outside."

Cui Ying stiffened and put her head on his shoulder obediently: "Who is it?"

"I don't know."

Chu Yan stretched out his hand to rub her lower abdomen. The warmth in his palm dissipated a lot of the chill. Cui Ying felt his gentle movements and actually felt a bit of enjoyment for a moment.

"Yingying."

"Ok?"

As his words fell, a kiss fell on her ear, and his hot breath passed into her ears. Cui Ying wanted to reach out and cover her ears, but he grabbed her hand. "He's gone a long time ago. Do you have other ideas when you stay here for so long?"

There was a hint of teasing in Chu Yan's words. Cui Ying blushed again and quickly distanced herself from him.

"By the way, why didn't you see Grandma Kong when you returned to Yunzhou last time?"

After hearing her question, Chu Yan replied in a deep voice: "Now that the matter is done, I will naturally go back to Beijing first."

Aunt Kong followed him to Yunzhou. She was originally ordered by Emperor Qi to find a woman for him. With Cui Ying, it was easier for her to work with her, so there was no need to stay here.

After that, he stood up and said, "I'll go out and take a look. You can rest."

Cui Ying watched the door being closed, her eyes clear and the shy expression on her face disappeared. When she entered the city, she had seen that Guanzhou was now closed on all sides and could only enter but not leave.

It is difficult to leave Guanzhou. It seems that I can only wait for Chu Yan to finish things here and then find a way to leave.

But now that I have come to Guanzhou, I might as well find out the news about Mrs. Pei. If she is still alive in this world, Cui Ying has no intention of disturbing other people's lives. Knowing that she is alive, she will go to pay homage to her parents next time. You can talk to your parents.

Chu Yan and Cheng Chong went out, and Cui Ying and the others were the only three left in the yard. When Amber boiled the medicine and brought it in, Dongyue also walked in with a bit of joy.

"Girl, girl, guess who this slave just saw?"

Hearing her voice, the two of them looked up at her. Cui Ying asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Dongyue walked over quickly and swallowed: "It's the eldest son. I just saw the eldest son. I heard Suifeng call him the county magistrate."

Without Cui Ying's instructions, Dongyue did not rush to recognize him, but she did not expect that the eldest son would become the county magistrate of Guanzhou.

"Cui Xu?"

Cui Ying opened her lips and breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, at least there is news."

Dongyue noticed Cui Ying's mood, glanced at Hu Hu, and then said: "Girl, looking at it now, the eldest son is indeed doing well. You can rest assured."

She had lived with Cui Ying in the Cui Mansion, and she knew the best about the affairs between Cui Ying and Cui Xu, although the girl had said that the eldest son was just an elder brother.

But the eldest son didn't want to just be the girl's brother. His affection was forbearing and restrained.

The eldest son is very good, and the girl is also very good. Unfortunately, the status between the two of them means that they will never be together, not to mention that the master has done very excessive things to the girl.

For some things, one can only say that fate is too shallow.

In the evening, it started to rain in Guanzhou. The rain was not heavy, but it did make it worse for Guanzhou, which was already suffering from floods.

Cui Ying waited for a long time, but Chu Yan didn't come back. She simply had some dinner and fell asleep.

At some point, she heard the sound of the door opening in confusion, and then the man lifted the quilt and got in. He took her into his arms. Cui Ying called him Hua Wei, and Chu Yan responded with a hum.

He was still wet from the rain, and Cui Ying felt the chill on his body, and suddenly thought of his leg sickness in Yunzhou.

"Is it a leg problem?"

Cui Ying opened her eyes and looked at him. Chu Yan looked calm and reached out to cover her eyes to block the weak candlelight: "No, go to sleep."

He hugged her forcefully, not letting her move even a little bit. Cui Ying had no choice but to close her eyes. However, in the second half of the night, the person next to her was feeling hot all over and had a high fever.

Only then did Cui Ying hear from Cheng Chong that Chu Yan had been walking in the sewage for more than an hour.
