After being captured, Tang Yuyao called herself a slave and called Master Zhao Ting again as before.
Zhao Ting was always angry with her and never corrected her, but at this moment, on the eve of their separation, he was defeated first.
"Yuyao, I told you before, don't call yourself a slave, and don't call me master again, do you still remember?"
Tang Yuyao couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Remember, how could she not remember, what he said on the morning when she escaped, she had thought of it countless times after leaving, and the memory was extremely profound. She had been back for more than ten days, and even though Zhao Ting was sure that she was pregnant, he didn't mention it, but now that he did, she was convinced that he was indeed hiding something from her.
And... it's probably still dangerous.
"Ah..." She still couldn't pronounce Zhao Ting's name, but said nervously: "Tell me honestly, are you in any danger? Because you are afraid of involving me and the child in your belly, you want to take me out in advance. Send away?"
Zhao Ting was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tang Yuyao to be so sharp and guess the key point at once.
She should be worried about him. She held his sleeves with such force that her fingertips turned white, and her face was full of anxiety.
Zhao Ting had no intention of telling her, but seeing her nervous look now made him more determined. He smiled and shook his head and said: "How could you suddenly have such an idea? If there is nothing, how can I be in danger? Yes, it is true that I am not liked by my father, but don’t forget who my mother is.”
It's Concubine Li, who has been favored for twenty years.
Although Concubine Li doesn't like Zhao Ting, she is mother and son after all, and she will not ignore Zhao Ting in danger.
As soon as Zhao Ting explained, Tang Yuyao became confused. Did she think too much?
"Then why did you..."
"Because I'm going to Chizhou soon." Zhao Ting interrupted her with an extremely gentle tone, "You are pregnant. If you come with me, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear the rush. So I asked Qin Yuan and his wife to protect you first. Go over there, and just go over there and settle down first, and everything will be arranged when I go there."
is that so?
Although Zhao Ting's words made sense, Tang Yuyao still felt a little untrustworthy, but she really couldn't find any problem.
She stopped talking. Zhao Ting took out the sleeve that she was holding on to and then suddenly squatted down and hugged her whole body.
"Ah——" Tang Yuyao was startled and hurriedly hugged Zhao Ting's neck.
Zhao Ting laughed softly, strode to the bed with the person in his arms, put the person on the bed, took off his clothes, lay down, and hugged him tightly.
Something was wrong with Zhao Ting tonight, and Tang Yuyao knew this very well. No matter what, she always understood him, but why didn't he tell her?
Tang Yuyao said she was pregnant when she was captured, and it was completely confirmed a few days ago. The month is still young, and it is definitely not suitable to serve Zhao Ting at this time. Zhao Ting just held her in his arms these days. Although he occasionally got up to take a shower in the middle of the night, he always behaved himself in bed.
But tonight...
Tonight, Zhao Ting never left. He held Tang Yuyao in his arms, his breathing changed from gentle to heavy, and then from heavy to gentle, all the while holding on.
The night was already deep, and in the dark environment, Tang Yuyao finally called his name in a low voice: "Ating, just tell me what is going on."
"It's okay." Zhao Ting's voice was a little hoarse. After he finished speaking, he grabbed Tang Yuyao's hand and said, "Yuyao, help me."
Tang Yuyao's heart trembled, and she couldn't struggle for more than a moment, so she closed her eyes and let Zhao Ting take her hand away.
That night, Tang Yuyao slept extremely restlessly, both mentally and physically.
~
At dawn the next day, Tang Yuyao was stuffed into the carriage by Zhao Ting, along with Xiao Yunduo, Lan Xiang and Qian.
The driver was Qin Yuan, and there was also a guard.
The shadow is outside the city, and it is enough to have Qin Yuan and the guards inside the city. It is less than half an hour's journey from here to the south gate, with clear sky and white sun. The public security in the capital is not that bad, so there will not be any danger in the city.
Zhao Ting was very decisive. He stuffed Tang Yuyao into the carriage and then turned around and got into another carriage. His weakness was Tang Yuyao, and the place he sent Tang Yuyao to in advance was his future shelter. In case Emperor Xuan got wind of it, he could only try to cover it up.
When Tang Yuyao opened the curtain and looked over, his carriage was already driving quickly in one direction.
Qian was sitting near the car door. Seeing Tang Yuyao reluctant to leave, she smiled and said, "Master Tang, don't worry, we won't be separated for too long."
It was a cloudy day today, the sky was gray and foggy, and Zhao Ting's carriage disappeared into the fog in almost the blink of an eye. Tang Yuyao looked away, but her uneasiness intensified. She ignored Qian and asked Qin Yuan: "Steward Qin, is the master in danger?"
Qin Yuan is one of the few people around Zhao Ting who knows the true power of the Shadow, so he said with certainty: "No, Master Tang, don't worry."
Tang Yuyao had no other choice. She sighed softly and lowered the curtain: "Then let's go."
The carriage headed all the way to the south city gate.
Xiao Yunduo had been living comfortably in another courtyard recently, and had developed the habit of sleeping in. The carriage was shaking, and she soon became sleepy again.
Tang Yuyao wanted to hug her, but Lan Xiang rushed to hug her: "Sister Yuyao, I'll come."
There is no need to be polite to Lan Xiang, and Tang Yuyao also cares about the child in her belly, so she agreed.
She didn't sleep well last night. Qin Yuan was worried that she would walk slowly due to pregnancy, so Tang Yuyao closed her eyes and fell asleep while she was swaying. After walking like this for who knows how long, Tang Yuyao suddenly woke up as if the hairs all over her body were standing on end. The next moment she hurriedly grabbed Lan Xiang, the carriage jolted suddenly. Because of her drag, Lan Xiang didn't fall out, but Qian suddenly fell to the ground.
"Master, what happened?" Qian asked anxiously before he could get up.
However, Qin Yuan's voice came after a moment, and it was accompanied by the sound of swords: "Protect Master Tang, don't come out!"
Qian was shocked and quickly stood up to block Tang Yuyao.
problem occurs! Tang Yuyao didn't know what was going on, so she could only ask Qian: "Sister-in-law Qian, what happened?"
Qian's face was flustered, and he shook his head and said, "I don't even know this!"
Tang Yuyao wanted to open the curtain on one side of the car to take a look, but Qian hurriedly blocked it: "Master Tang, please don't move, it's dangerous." After saying that, she opened it and took a look, and she was so frightened that she slumped down. He said: "Master Tang, there are many people in black outside, they seem to want to kill us!"
Someone wants to kill them?
Tang Yuyao went over to take a look, and sure enough she saw Qin Yuan and his guards fighting with the men in black. There were only two people on their side, but there were six people on the other side. Even though Qin Yuan and the guards were both highly skilled in martial arts, they Those six people were not weak either. After fighting like this for only a moment, their defeat was already obvious.
Suddenly, a man in black slashed Qin Yuan's shoulder with a knife, and Qin Yuan screamed "Ah" in pain.
"Stop!" Tang Yuyao shouted loudly as he saw another knife slashing at him.
Qian was so frightened that she couldn't get up when she heard Qin Yuan's screams. Tang Yuyao ignored her, held Lan Xiang and Xiao Yunduo down, got up and walked out.
"Stop!" These people suddenly appeared, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts. They were definitely not the whims of ordinary thieves. They must have been ordered to come here. But after arriving, they only focused on fighting with Qin Yuan's guards. Their female relatives were in the carriage but could not come out. Obviously, they had orders not to hurt them.
Was someone targeting Zhao Ting and trying to arrest her to threaten him?
Or maybe Zhao Ting was testing her?
Nothing like it. If he catches her, he won't be able to listen to her like this, nor will he dare to hurt her at all. But if Zhao Ting was testing, it would be impossible for the wound on Qin Yuan's shoulder to be bleeding. It was obvious that these people were cruel to Qin Yuan.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Tang Yuyao didn't have time to think about it, jumped off the carriage and walked over.
Someone among the men in black came out, it was the one who had just slashed Qin Yuan: "Our master invites Miss Tang to come and talk to us."
Tang Yuyao frowned: "Who is your master? I recognize..." Before she finished speaking, she thought of someone, "Become a king?"
Cheng Wang Zhao Jue?
Hearing this, Qin Yuan took a step back in shock and almost fell down.
The man in black didn't expect Tang Yuyao to say it directly. He paused for a moment before cupping his fists and saying, "Miss Tang, please get on the carriage. Don't make things difficult for us."
Why did Zhao Jue invite her to come and talk about it?
He clearly wanted to capture her and use her against Zhao Ting!
Tang Yuyao was unwilling to go, but the situation at this time could not tolerate her reluctance. Qin Yuan and the guards were injured, and she and the people in the car were all helpless women and children. Under the influence of these six men in black Right under your nose, you can't even escape.
She looked at Qin Yuan and said, "I'm going with you. King Cheng should have only invited me, not them, right?"
The man in black frowned and thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "No, let's go together and don't talk nonsense, or do you want to see me cut off one of his arms?"
"No! Don't! Don't!" Qian's cry came from the carriage. She didn't know when she was lying on the car window and looking over.
Needless to say, Tang Yuyao couldn't just watch Qin Yuan's arm being chopped off. She pursed her lips, took a step back and said, "They are all injured. Is it okay to let them ride in the carriage with me?"
This time the man in black did not object and acquiesced.
Tang Yuyao took Qin Yuan and the guards onto the carriage. Qian Lanxiang applied medicine and bandages to them. The carriage was occupied by men in black and began to drive in the other direction. There was silence in the carriage. Qin Yuan waved Qian away and gave Tang Yuyao a comforting look.
Tang Yuyao was not comforted. She never knew the power behind Zhao Ting, so her heart sank again and again at this moment.
Worried about the safety of their group, and also worried that Zhao Jue would use her to blackmail Zhao Ting and harm Zhao Ting.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have let Xiu Qin go when she came to her house earlier. Even if they don't tell Zhao Ting to kill Xiu Qin, they can still keep them and release them after they leave the capital. But at that time...she didn't know that Zhao Ting was going to send her away.
Just as she was thinking, Mrs. Qian pushed her gently. She turned around and saw Qin Yuan tearing off a piece of cloth and writing a few words on the blood.
Don't worry, the master will come to save us.
Tang Yuyao wanted to ask Qin Yuan what was going on with Zhao Ting, but it was obviously not a good time to ask at this time. She nodded and said she understood.
After the carriage stopped, the group of people was urged to get out of the carriage.
As soon as she opened the carriage curtain and looked at the familiar wooden door in front of her, Tang Yuyao knew where she was.
It was actually the back door of the flower building where Xiu Qin was.
