Yun Wanqing is right, if a leaf blinds her eyesight, maybe she is the one who is deceived!
Otherwise, with Zhan Wuqi's cautious and suspicious nature, no matter how flawless her plan was, he would not be without doubts.
But unfortunately, she and the children stayed at Huguo Temple for three days, and Zhan Wuqi never showed up. It seemed that he was not on guard against them and was completely at ease!
Now that Yun Wanqing mentioned it, she suddenly realized, had Zhan Wiqi never been here, or was he here but not discovered by her and the children?
If it's the latter...
A layer of goose bumps appeared on the back of Su Jiangyi's hands, as if she was watching a wild beast, and her whole body was cold.
She took a deep breath: "Miss Duan, Mrs. Yun, I need your help!"
…
At the foot of the mountain, the royal palace was heavily guarded and all intersections were blocked.
Zhan Wuqi was dressed in black and looked cold and ruthless, with a gloomy handsome face.
Trivial discussions came from the mouths of the people who were blocked:
"That man is the King of War? Why did he block all the roads?"
"It is said that a woman abducted the little princess, and the King of War is intercepting her!"
"You are so brave. You dare to kidnap a royal princess. If the King of War captures her, wouldn't that person have to shed a layer of his skin?"
Three figures came down from the mountain.
The guards immediately surrounded them, blocking the three people in the middle.
The two children immediately guarded their mother on both sides, raising their chubby little faces and staring at them warily.
The guard moved out of the way, and the tall figure of the man approached.
He looked down at the mother and son from a high position, with no extraneous expression on his handsome face, and said in a cold voice, "I have given you a chance."
Su Jiangyi frowned: "What do you mean? Are you here to avenge your grandmother and deal with the aftermath?!"
Zhan Wuqi grabbed her chin, his eyes dull: "Su Yi, stop your boring tricks. You want to leave the capital with my daughter and son. Do you really think that I know nothing?"
Su Jiangyi endured the pain: "I didn't..."
Zhan Wuqi threw away his hand and ordered the guards: "Take the person back to the palace and put her in the dungeon! Without my order, she will never step out of the dungeon!"
"Dad, you are so generous!"
Ruanruan rushed over, stopped the guard with her chubby hands, and said in a crying voice:
"Dad, why do you want to lock up the nanny? Please listen to our explanation!"
Su Xingxing stepped forward and said in a strong voice: "If you want to touch my mother, just step on my body!"
Zhan Wuqi changed his previous image of a loving father, grabbed Su Xingxing with his long arm, and threw him to Zhan Er by holding his collar.
He said indifferently: "Send the little princess and Su Xingxing back as well."
Ruanruan was picked up by Zhan Yi, and she slapped her fat arms and legs unwillingly, her face turned red with anger: "Let go of this princess! Daddy, I don't want it! I don't want to be locked up! Nanny Jiu Min, brother Jiu Min -
—”
Zhan Wuqi waved his hand expressionlessly.
Zhan Yi stuffed Ruanruan into the carriage.
Su Jiangyi raised her head and met Zhan Wuqi's cold and cruel eyes: "So you have decided that I want to leave with Ruanruan and Xingxing, and you don't even want to listen to the explanation, right?"
"Su Yi, I am not a fool. You have deceived me again and again. How can I still trust you?"
Zhan Wuqi closed his dark eyes, unfathomable.
Su Jiangyi sneered: "If I said that we didn't want to leave the capital, we just escaped from Huguo Temple as a last resort. Would you believe it?"
Zhan Wuqi opened his eyes, took a step forward, and looked at her coldly: "Do you think I should trust you? Su Yi, I have given you many opportunities!"
It was he who insisted on treating her as Yi'er from six years ago, but he didn't know that time had changed and things had changed.
Su Jiangyi straightened her back stubbornly and looked at Zhan Wiqi with her clear eyes.
The man exuded a cold aura, and his gaze fell on her, so sharp that it seemed to penetrate her body.
No emotion at all!
Su Jiangyi scoffed: "I understand."
She took a half step back and smiled to herself.
Let Weeping Willow and Fei Xu grab her arms and stuff her into the carriage.
Zhan Wuqi got on his horse.
The horse-drawn carriage sped by on the road.
Among the crowd, Duan Ling'er and Yun Wanqing silently watched the carriage go away.
After a bumpy ride back to the palace, the carriage stopped.
Su Jiangyi heard the sound of softly being picked up, and Su Xingxing's dissatisfied roar coming from the front.
But there was no movement in her carriage.
It was eerily quiet inside and outside the car, as if it had been forgotten, and an uneasy atmosphere filled the air.
After half a moment, the curtain of the carriage was opened by someone.
The man's tall body squeezed into the horse, with a gloomy look on his handsome face.
Su Jiangyi pursed her lips and turned her head.
Zhan Wuqi bent down, grabbed her wrist, and exerted a little force.
Su Jiangyi threw herself into his arms, punched his chest with her fist, and said angrily: "What are you doing?!"
Zhan Wiqi's expression tensed, and Xiu Jin's arms picked her up by the waist, and strode into the palace.
Go straight to the dungeon.
The smell in the dungeon was not pleasant. The smell of dampness was mixed with the smell of blood and mold, which made Su Jiangyi retching.
"Let, let me out!"
She struggled in Zhan Wuqi's arms, her face as pale as snow.
Zhan Wuqi turned a blind eye to this and steadily hugged her to the deepest point.
It is a small room with a ventilation hole at the top to dissipate the unpleasant smell.
Su Jiangyi's expression did not improve, and she covered her mouth and nose, "Let me out! I can't stand the smell! You can lock me up wherever you want, but I can promise not to escape, vomit—"
Pregnancy was already uncomfortable, and with the lack of air circulation and lack of sunlight here, her whole body felt as if she had been pricked by needles.
Zhan Wiqi's black eyes looked at her sharply and deeply, making her flustered: "Are you pregnant?"
His eyes fell on Su Jiangyi's lower abdomen, as if he was deep in thought.
Su Jiangyi immediately denied: "No, I'm not pregnant! It's just that I just can't stand the smell... Zhan Wuqi, I beg you, can we change places?"
She didn't dare to admit that she was pregnant. Otherwise, if Zhan Wuqi thought she was running with the ball, it would be a double crime!
Fortunately, the old princess was afraid of the child in her belly, so she probably would not take the initiative to tell Zhan Wiqi this secret. She could still keep it secret until her belly became pregnant!
Zhan Wiqi's eyes suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Since you are not pregnant, then continue to endure it!"
Su Jiangyi updated: "If I can prove that I am not taking the children to leave the capital, can I leave from here? We had no choice but to escape from Huguo Temple!"
Zhan Wuqi held her wrist, flipped her onto the bed, and pressed her up.
Her body was densely covering her from top to bottom, and her dark eyes were so dark that they almost swallowed up everything, "Su Yi, I have been staring at you since you left the palace. I know exactly what you want to do.
"
Su Jiangyi's pupils shrank, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet.
