Side Concubine Wan Fu

Chapter 718 Prince's Battle | Chasing Death and Chasing North 49
Chi Jianing pursed his lips and stayed in the empty courtyard, meditating.

Was she hidden among the people? By the time all the news about Yongjing's presence at the border reached the common people in the imperial city, more than a month had passed.

In a blink of an eye, it is midsummer again.

The crown prince, Yong Jing, is rumored to have conquered most of the Jin and Zhou dynasties, is he going to return to the dynasties soon?

At that time, when I heard the widow and old slave excitedly beside her, expressing excitement, talking about the great events of the country and the world, I sneered in my heart——

She was "dead" for forty years, and Yong Jing was still at the border!

Now, in the capital city of the Kingdom Dynasty, it has been faintly rumored that when the Crown Princess and the emperor's grandson left the East Palace to pray for the country, they were killed by evil thieves, and none of them survived.

This news has been spread for half a month, and now I'm afraid it is true, just wait for the crown prince to return to Beijing to confirm this fact!
Chi Jianing felt numb in pain.

Back then, after she escaped from Four Seasons Villa, her first thought was to go to the northwest to find a husband named Yong Jing...

Accustomed to relying on him for everything, her instinct of relying on him has been integrated into her bones.

However, the facts are very shocking - she is now an extremely ugly widow, and that is also a woman!
Going to the northwest alone, she can't predict what kind of crisis she will encounter along the way!
She also thought that as long as she showed up, Yong Jing's hidden guards in the capital would definitely protect her, but in this way, her most important secret might be known!
Before, while she hid herself to exercise her body, she thought, Yong Jing knew that something happened to their mother and son, and she would definitely return to the capital soon...

Unexpectedly, it's been almost a month and a half, and Yong Jing is still trapped in the border, and the news that he won the battle has not yet sent back to the capital!
The longer she waited, the more impatient Chi Jianing became - no amount of anger towards Yong Jing could overcome, he was probably injured on the battlefield, and as soon as this thought floated in her mind, she made up her mind to go to the northwest.

Can't wait any longer.

Moreover, for the sake of her personal safety, she can't stay in the same place all the time, lest the Lord of Phoenix Blades find her where she is!
What's more, after more than a month of training, her force value has improved a lot!
After all, Songping County is not in the inner city of the capital, and the defense of the city is not as serious as the imperial city. Chi Jianing left the city at night after drawing a route to the northwest for himself.

In order to be more realistic, she sold the small side courtyard she lived in to a dentist at a very low price, and then used the dozens of taels of silver she just got to buy a newly grown mare.

She collected the rest of the money, bought a little dry food for show, packed two bags, and left neatly in front of the neighbors.

It was said to the outside world that she was going to the northwest to see if her husband was really killed in battle.

Anyway, after staying for more than a month, Chi Jianing showed kindness again, and took a few delicate handkerchiefs embroidered by Mei Yue, and asked the widow and old slave to exchange for some scraps of silver needed for life.

There is no way, the gold and silver in Chi Jianing's space are all government-made, one ingot, really not suitable for her current status.

And exchanging Meiyue embroidery for money was Chi Jianing's decision after much deliberation.

It's also fate, Chi Jianing never imagined that not long after she left, the next day, the widow and old slave were forced to come to the door by several officials, followed by Mei Yue herself——

It is unbelievable that the princess was burned to death in the Four Seasons Villa and was left behind by a few personal maids in the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace!

Who knows, the shopkeeper of the embroidery building given by the widow and old slave trader saw that the handkerchief, whether it is embroidery technique or fabric, is not an ordinary item, it is more likely to be an imperial product!

After several times of thinking, when the widow and old slave brought the embroidery to sell for the last time, the shopkeeper handed over the embroidery to the master behind the scenes——

However, it was still a step too late.

At this time, Chi Jianing had already left Songping County first.

As soon as Mei Yue heard that it was Songping County, she thought with hope in her heart that maybe her master and empress were here...

But fate tricked people, and it was all in vain.

Hearing that the little woman was heading to the northwest, Mei Yue became even more determined, that was her master——Princess Concubine Empress!

Now, the surviving secret guards of Four Seasons Villa immediately chased after——
