Xiao Zhenting walked out of the death row. After so many dark days, he suddenly saw the sun, which made him squint his eyes involuntarily.
He subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but was kicked angrily by the jailer following behind him.
"Hurry up and hurry up, don't open the door." The jailer cursed impatiently, "Humph, you are really the most useless thing I have ever seen. You are a prince after all, but look at the man who came to pick you up.
None. If you have gotten to this level, if I were you, I would just hit you and die."
Xiao Zhenting looked around and saw, yes, the empty bluestone road, with only the gentle breeze blowing by.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Who said there is no one?"
A crisp voice came, and Xiao Zhenting saw Shangguan Xiaoxiao running over in a hurry.
She was thin, pale, panting, and came to his side, gently holding his arm.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to pick you up."
Xiao Zhenting was a little surprised. In his understanding, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was a vain woman. Now that he had ended up like this, she would still come to pick him up?
"Huh, hurry up and leave. If you delay your departure from Beijing, you won't be able to leave." The jailer mocked Xiao Zhenting contemptuously, "There won't be any hail next time... ah!"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao raised his hand aggressively and slapped the jailer hard on the face.
The jailer covered the half of his face that had been beaten and was a little dazed. When he came to his senses, he went to get the whip from his waist.
"How dare you hit me?"
"What's wrong with hitting you? Dog eyes look down on people." Shangguan Xiaoxiao not only was not afraid, but also stood in front of Xiao Zhenting.
"Do you want to fight back? Just touch me and try. Even if my husband is no longer the King of Qin, my father is still the prime minister of the dynasty. It's easy to punish a little jailer like you. If you don't believe me, try it."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked down at the jailer in a condescending manner.
The jailer was so angry that he trembled all over and was speechless for a long time.
Prime Minister, he can't afford to offend.
"waste."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't forget to curse before turning around, took Xiao Zhenting's hand and left.
Xiao Zhenting looked at her meaningfully, and the two of them arrived at the gate of the city, where people from the Criminal Department Yamen had been waiting here early.
"Your Majesty...oh, no, that's wrong." The catcher cupped his hands at Xiao Zhenting with a half-smile, "We were ordered to escort you out of Beijing."
Xiao Zhenting didn't say anything. He looked around and saw no familiar faces.
At this moment, the coldness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human relationships are vividly interpreted.
"Brother, catch me. My husband-in-law has just been released from prison and is a little weak. Please show your kindness and let us use a carriage instead."
"This..." The policeman looked embarrassed and stretched out a trembling hand in front of Shangguan Xiaoxiao. "I'm afraid it will make it difficult for us to do this."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao took out the banknotes that he had prepared long ago from his baggage and stuffed them into the hands of the policeman.
The policeman lowered his head and took a peek, and immediately changed his face.
"Okay, it's understandable that he's not in good health. We don't want him to get sick before we reach the destination, and we can't afford it."
"Thank you."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao swallowed her anger. She turned around and waved, and a carriage strolled in front of them.
"Your Majesty, please get on the carriage."
Xiao Zhenting walked up silently without saying a word.
The driver set up the carriage, and the police officers from the Ministry of Justice followed behind him, and slowly walked out of the city gate.
Xiao Zhenting lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. The familiar and wealthy city was getting further and further away from him.
besides……
The woman who left an unforgettable memory for him.
"Your Majesty, let's have something to eat."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao took out the pastry prepared in advance and handed it to Xiao Zhenting. "I know you like to eat the barley cake from Zuixianlou. I bought it specially. Eat it while it's fresh."
Xiao Zhenting turned around and looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao carefully again.
"Prince, what's wrong? Is my face... dirty?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao subconsciously touched her cheek.
Xiao Zhenting shook his head.
"I heard that your father has begged the emperor for mercy, so you don't have to leave the capital with me."
"Um."
"Then why did you..."
"My lord, whether you believe it or not, I really like you." Shangguan Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly, "From the first moment I saw you, I wanted to be with you. Even if you are not
It doesn’t matter if you are the prince…”
"From now on, I can no longer give you a life of glory and wealth."
"It doesn't matter," Shangguan Xiaoxiao said indifferently. The smile she showed was as bright as ever. "Although I no longer have rich clothes and food, but... you are mine alone."
Xiao Zhenting's heart couldn't help but ripples appeared.
It would be great if the person opposite him at this time was Shangguan Wan Ning.
He hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand and took Shangguan Xiaoxiao into his arms.
In the evening, it began to rain lightly, continuously, darkly and depressingly.
Shangguan Yue and his wife were restless and had difficulty swallowing food.
Both Lu Xiangzi and the imperial physician said that everything was normal with Shangguan Wanning, but she fell into a coma and did not wake up.
Lu Xiangzi tried various methods to no avail.
"Master, what should I do..." Mrs. Shangguan's eyes turned red from crying.
Even the miracle doctor Lu Xiangzi was helpless, and her heart had sunk to the bottom.
"Madam, don't worry, Ning'er is still so young, and with the miracle doctor and so many imperial doctors here, there will definitely be a solution."
"If anything happens to Ning'er, I won't be able to live either."
Shangguan Yue gently held his wife's shoulders and comforted her constantly.
"Master, the eldest princess and the prince-consort are here."
Zheng Binghong walked in with the eldest princess. The eldest princess went into the house to visit Shangguan Wan Ning, while Zheng Binghong comforted his sister.
"The princess brought a thousand-year-old ginseng here and left it with Ning'er. It may be of use."
Lu Xiangzi came over immediately after hearing this, took out the ginseng, put it under his nose, smelled it, and nodded secretly.
"Stay, this is really a life-saving thing."
"Someone come quickly..."
Everyone heard the eldest princess's cry and hurried into the room to check.
Shangguan Wan Ning was seen frowning in her sleep, her expression panicked and distorted.
"Get out of the way."
Lu Xiangzi immediately walked over to check. He found that Shangguan Wan Ning's pulse was beating extremely fast. If he tried to think about it like this, he would probably die from all his meridians.
He immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it into Shangguan Wan Ning's body.
Shangguan Wan Ning could hear everything going on around her, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
Drowsily, she felt her body light. There was a door in front of her, and she seemed to hear a familiar voice.
She couldn't help but push open the door, and what she saw was...
Isn't this the room where I lived with Mu Jingrui in my previous life?
