Xie Yue turned and walked towards his room. Liao Zhibing and Master Zhong were talking in a low voice in the corridor. Seeing Xie Yue walk over, they smiled and asked in a low voice: "Does Sir Xie have something to discuss with Wang Fei?"
Xie Yue smiled and said: "Wang Fei's body has not fully recovered. It is better to let Wang Fei rest."
Liao Zhibing and Master Zhong both nodded.
They were already on the verge of collapse after being starved and frozen in prison. Wang Fei, on the other hand, had been humiliated and suffered so much. She had even been paraded through the streets. They really didn't know how they would explain it to Wang Ye if it was someone with a weaker personality who wanted to commit suicide.
But Wang Fei had been very calm from beginning to end. It was as though those scars and humiliation were not on her body.
Xie Yue was an old man by Wang Ye's side. Naturally, he was loyal to Wang Ye. But he felt that there were some things that Wang Fei had hidden from him. If he didn't say it, then Wang Ye would never know how much suffering Wang Fei had suffered in a place that he didn't know.
All of this suffering was given by His Majesty!
Their children had almost been killed!
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were Wang Ye's trusted aides. They more or less knew that Wang Ye had hidden some trump cards. They did not feel that they had been deceived. Instead, they were happy to see Wang Ye's actions. At least he did not blindly open his heart. It was not a bad thing to be on guard against others. Also, Wang Ye had always trusted them. Other than some things that were hidden from him, Pang Xiao had always trusted them and let them do anything.
What's more, they admired people like His Highness who cared about the world. Therefore, it wasn't a big deal for His Highness to be on guard against family matters.
Indeed, Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi had discussed this many times in private. They knew that a person as talented as Qin Huaiyuan would not easily walk to a dead end. Right now, he might have already arranged a path of retreat. They were both intelligent and observant. From Wang Ye's daily conversations, they had already discovered Wang Ye's attitude on the matter of having children.
But no matter what, this time, Li Qitian had indeed stolen the twins. He wanted to use them as a hostage and possibly even kill them!
Xie Yue wrote furiously and explained the situation in a concise manner. He resisted the urge to add his own opinion and judgment.
He rolled up the paper, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Jinghu Wei beside him. "While the city is not very strict, quickly use a messenger pigeon to send the letter out."
"Yes." Jinghu Wei immediately nodded in acknowledgment.
Xie Yue was worried that in a few days,
They would not even be able to send a messenger pigeon out. If Li Qitian wanted to search carefully, they were afraid that they would not be able to stay in their current hiding place for long. What's more, they couldn't be sure if this Tianji Zi was completely trustworthy or not, and whether he would sell Princess Consort out …
But Tian Jizi lived peacefully in the main room. All day long, she happily ate fish and meat. When she had nothing to do, she would ask her subordinates to buy her wine. Sometimes, she would grab a pig's leg and leisurely nibble on it in front of the porch. She would not forget to stretch her neck to look at Qin Yining's room or tease the twins.
Qin Yining was recuperating, but Tian Jizi was so leisurely. In the eyes of Xie Yue and the others, it was very unpleasant to look at.
Qin Yining's condition was slowly improving. But if he wanted to fully recover, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
After another three days, Qin Yining's fever finally subsided. He no longer had a high fever. This made everyone sigh in relief. Bing Tang began to prepare some nourishing meals to feed her.
"Where are Xuan Ge 'er and Yun Jie' er?"
"Wang Fei, don't worry. The wet nurse is taking care of them. The children are very well. Do you want me to bring the children over for you to take a look?"
Qin Yining shook her head. She pressed her pale lips until there was a bit of color: "The children are still young. It's cold outside. Don't let the illness affect them. The wet nurse can take care of them. "
Bing Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wang Fei. The wet nurse has taken good care of Little Master and Little Miss these days. When the twins were snatched away, the wet nurse was so regretful that she almost died. She blamed herself for letting Wang Fei down and not being able to protect the children."
Qin Yining swallowed a mouthful of soup and couldn't help but smile: "It wasn't their fault. In that situation, could they have stolen the Emperor?"
"Wang Fei is so open-minded. You never take your anger out on others. "
"What's there to take your anger out on? It wasn't their fault in the first place."
"Aiya, you're drinking soup. It smells so good!"
Just as they were talking, Tian Jizi's voice suddenly came from the door.
Qin Yining looked up and saw Tian Jizi walk in while gnawing on a roasted chicken leg. She didn't care about the oil on her cheeks. She sat down on the stool diagonally across from her and smiled: "How is it? Does your complexion look better?"
Qin Yining smiled: "It's alright. I still have to thank you for saving my life this time. "
"Don't, don't, don't thank me." Tian Jizi shook her head and took another bite of the chicken leg. She tore off a large piece of meat and chewed as she said, "I didn't have a choice. Do you think I wanted to save you? "
Qin Yining narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I remember that in the past, Xian Gu couldn't wait for me to die an unnatural death. If I died in prison this time, wouldn't it arouse Wang Ye's hatred for the Emperor? Xian Gu could have achieved her goal by letting me fend for myself. Why would she save me? "
Tian Jizi raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you still have some self-awareness."
Bing Tang and Ji Yun frowned unhappily. They didn't like the way Tian Jizi spoke.
But when Qin Yining glanced at them indifferently, the two of them knew that Wang Fei didn't want them to speak.
"Xian Gu has always been clear about gratitude and grudges. I know this in my heart." Qin Yining smiled: "If Xian Gu had the chance, she would want to take my life several times. So when Xian Gu saved me this time, I was really surprised. "
"You don't have to be surprised."
Tian Jizi began to gnaw on the chicken leg. Her cheeks were swollen from chewing. "I never did it for you. Don't think too highly of yourself."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details. "
"I did it for the Ziwei Emperor Star. In the past, your existence was his stumbling block. Without you, the Ziwei Emperor Star would be able to reach that position faster. So I wanted to kill you. But now, if you die, the Ziwei Emperor Star won't be able to reach that position. I had no choice but to save you. "
Qin Yining was stunned for a moment.
What did Tian Jizi mean? The Ziwei Emperor Star was naturally referring to Pang Xiao. From her point of view, Pang Xiao didn't want to be the Emperor because of her. Now, Pang Xiao wanted to be the Emperor because of her?
No, no. Just as Tian Jizi said, she didn't need to think so highly of herself.
But if Tian Jizi's words were translated, that was indeed what she meant.
Moreover, if Pang Xiao really wanted to be the Emperor, other than for the sake of the people, perhaps he really did want to give her a stable and worry-free life.
In this world, whose woman didn't have to worry about being coveted and humiliated? In Pang Xiao's opinion, it had to be the most honorable one.
Tian Jizi saw Qin Yining's dazed expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Your existence is the biggest variable. I've calculated countless times in my life, and I've calculated many people, but I can't figure you out. Whenever something happens to you, it's bound to cause a change. "
Tian Jizi casually threw the chewed chicken leg bone on the ground and casually wiped her hands on her robe.
"Come on, you should also prepare yourself. We'll think of a way to get out of the city in these two days. If we give you more time to recuperate, you won't be able to get out. "
Qin Yining couldn't help but sit up straight. "You mean …"
"I don't need to say it. You already know. Your Majesty ordered people to search the city, and it will only get stricter and stricter. If I had said that you were trouble, it would have been easier for us to leave earlier. However, you were sick and couldn't get out of bed. I was also afraid that something would happen to you halfway through saving you, so I could only give you time to recuperate. Now that you're awake, you can at least run for a while. We can't afford to delay any longer. "
Tian Jizi stood up and walked out casually. "You should prepare well. Tomorrow evening, before the city gates are locked, the defense will be weaker. We'll leave then."
Looking at Tian Jizi's back, Qin Yining smiled. "Got it. No matter what, I still have to thank you. "
Tian Jizi waved her hand, as if she couldn't be bothered with Qin Yining. She swaggered out.
Seeing that Tian Jizi had arrived, Bing Tang and Ji Yun came to serve Qin Yining to finish the rest of the tonic soup and medicine.
Ji Yun muttered in a low voice, "This person's words are too boring. It's as if he'll lose a piece of flesh if he doesn't say a few unpleasant words when he sees the Princess Consort."
Qin Yining shook his head. "Everyone has their own standpoints. One thing is another. She helped me this time. When I return, I have to think of a way to repay her."
Bing Tang took out a few silver needles. "Give the Princess Consort a few more needles to strengthen her body. We'll be ready to leave tomorrow. "
Qin Yining cooperated and was pricked until he looked like a hedgehog.
The night passed peacefully. The next day, everyone in the residence started to busily and calmly prepare to leave the city.
Just in case, Xie Yue didn't hide his ability to disguise himself. He used the limited materials he had to disguise Qin Yining as a sickly young master. Ji Yun and Bing Tang were dressed as two beautiful concubines. The rest of the people were more or less in disguise. They had to deliberately change the way they walked. They weren't allowed to speak when it wasn't necessary. It was hard to tell that these people were all around Qin Yining.
Tian Jizi wore a khaki-colored cotton jacket and skirt. She was dressed like an old maid in a large residence.
"We're accompanying the Young Master, the Little Young Master, and the two beautiful concubines who just gave birth to children back to our hometown in the north. Remember, don't let your mouth slip. Just say that Tatan has been chased away. We're leaving our relatives' home and returning home. "
"Got it."
Ji Yun and Bing Tang became the beautiful concubines. Zhao Ge 'er and Yun Jie became their children. Qin Yining was a sickly young master dressed luxuriously.
