In the Crown Prince Residence, the Crown Princess Consort pulled Yang Ruxin with red eyes: "Why do you insist on going back? The village is nothing compared to Beijing."
"Maybe the village is not as good as Beijing, but... the cityâs tricks are too deep, I still prefer the countryside." Yang Ruxin shrugged.
"Tricks are deep?" The Crown Princess Consort furrowed her brows, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Youâve really come up with some new expressions... but it seems quite fitting."
"Keep the medicine pill I gave you with you." Yang Ruxin took out a box again, "Hereâs another one, but donât tell anyone, stash it yourself just in case."
The Crown Princess Consort tightly gripped the box: "How about, I go to the village with you." She couldnât bear to let Yang Ruxin leave; her presence made her feel at ease.
"Haha." Yang Ruxin laughed, "Even if the Crown Prince allows, I wouldnât dare to agree, the gold nugget in your belly, if anything happens, it could spell doom for my family or even the entire village."
"Why do you speak so bluntly?" The Crown Princess Consort couldnât help but give Yang Ruxin a side-eye, "Arenât you afraid of offending me?"
"You can judge me then."
"Alright, not going to banter with you." The Crown Princess Consort waved her hand, "I really donât want you to leave."
"After I leave, you can have Hen Yizheng check your pulse, heâs completely trustworthy." Yang Ruxin patted the Crown Princess Consortâs hand, "Donât worry, the child will definitely be healthy, the due date is around late April next year, Iâll come over to accompany you during the delivery..."
"Swear on it."
Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched: "Also, ensure the people sent to get ingredients from the vegetarian restaurant are reliable, and they must take it from Bear the Shopkeeper, better safe than sorry..."
"I know." The Crown Princess Consort nodded seriously, "The Crown Prince will arrange all of this."
Two days later, Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng left Beijing with Gu Qiao and Yang Xiong, four swift horses in total.
The remaining shadow guards stayed in Beijing to assist Gu Di with tasks, besides, many people in Beijing still needed to be watched at all times.
As for Elder Ming Guang, he said not to mind him and just leave, so they didnât bother with that strange old man.
With their hearts set on returning, it truly manifested vividly in Yang Ruxin and Gu Qingheng. Thanks to the strong horses, they reached a small town before sunset.
Yang Ruxin had missed Xiaofeng and Mimiâs birthdays before, then missed Lanlanâs birthday, now she didnât want to miss Little Zhou Yingâs birthday.
Little Zhou Yingâs birthday was on August 22, and it seemed they had ample time to make it back.
"General, madam, it seems weâre being followed." Gu Qiao whispered.
"If they want to follow, let them." Yang Ruxin waved her hand indifferently, "Hurry and find an inn, I need a bath and sleep."
Just as she spoke, there was an inn ahead, they didnât pick, and just settled in.
"Who do you think it could be?" Standing by the window of the room, Yang Ruxin looked outside and asked Gu Qingheng.
"Sun Cult."
"Why?"
"Those people donât look like theyâre from Daxuan." Gu Qingheng pulled Yang Ruxin to the bed, "Besides, only Sun Cult hates us to the bone; we thwarted their biggest plan and made them suffer heavy losses."
