Pei Yanzhou went straight to Bi Chun Tang.
Since Song Jinyin knew she was pregnant early on, it must have something to do with Shen Yuhe.
He remembered the meeting of several people outside the girls' school that day. It was also that day when he nodded and let Song Jinyin out, even though he knew it was just a verbal agreement.
But he forgot that Song Jinyin didn't know.
He even forgot that if he gave in, everyone would look down on Song Jinyin, including Song Jinyin herself.
But he actually felt that as long as the little girl was by his side, it didn't matter how others viewed her.
Pei Yanzhou's regrets at this moment were one after another, seemingly endless.
Maybe without his ruthlessness, Song Jinyin wouldn't be so determined to escape after learning that she was pregnant. Maybe...
At this moment, in a corner of the house, in an empty courtyard, Song Jinyin was wrapped in a thick mattress and nestled on the side of the hut.
There was a brazier not far in front of him, which dispelled some of the chill in the room. There was also a cup of soup and medicine simmering on it.
"Girl, hurry up and hug the heater, don't get frozen."
The little cook squatted next to the brazier and looked at the concoction that was not yet boiling inside.
"Girl, why don't you wait a day? Then I can still help the girl escape from the small courtyard, and it won't be as dangerous as tonight. Just now, the little ones didn't wait for the girl's response, and their hearts almost dropped."
"I only wanted to make the fire bigger, so I delayed it. Besides, didn't you say that your master wanted me to stay here longer?"
Song Jinyin lowered her eyes to look at the vivid petal patterns on the hand stove and smiled lightly.
"A fire can buy a lot of time. When they put out the fire and found out that I was not there, they would definitely search everywhere. They would never waste time in a corner of this huge house. They would just think that I took advantage of the chaos and escaped somewhere else." ."
"The girl is thoughtful, but I really have to bear with it these days, and it will take some time to apply for household registration and road guidance for the girl outside. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for the girl to leave."
"Going through household registration and road guidance?"
"Yes, the girl can leave this mansion within ten days at the latest. In ten days, the prince will be on an errand, so he will no longer be looking for the girl."
The little cook nodded and brought the soup down.
"Then the girl will have a new identity, and she will be able to move around freely. There is no need to hide. It's just the girl's name. Maybe she won't be able to accompany her anymore."
"It's a blessing to have a new identity. As for the name...it's better to give it up."
Without this name, she and Pei Yanzhou were completely broken off, and he should not come after her like last time.
Song Jinyin pursed her lips, remembering Pei Yanzhou's dark and deep look on horseback when he chased her to the inn that day.
The fire was indeed to attract the attention of the people in the mansion, but it was also Song Jinyin's determination to leave.
She wanted Pei Yanzhou to know that she would rather escape in the way she feared most than stay by his side for another day.
And all the sincerity and expectations she had had were all the same as that jade pendant. They were left in the fire by her and would never appear again in the rest of her life.
Pei Yanzhou will know and will be angry with her because he guessed her thoughts. By then, he will be out of the city on errands. When he comes back, she, Song Jinyin, will no longer be seen in this capital.
Even in this world, there will no longer be Song Jinyin.
"Girl, please drink some soup first. It's not good for me to stay here too long, but don't worry, girl. This place is quite far from the front. It was just an inconspicuous servant's room. It has long been equivalent to being abandoned. Girl, you can rest assured first."
"As for food and hot water, the little girl will be delivered on time. There is also a little maid who does rough work. She will also come to take care of the girl from time to time. The girl will have to work hard for a few days."
Song Jinyin nodded with a grateful face and slightly red eyes.
I don't know if it's because of the pregnancy, but she cries more obviously these days than before.
Ever since that day when she cried uncontrollably to Pei Yanzhou, she would recall the past from time to time, or she would have a sentimental feeling of loneliness in winter, as well as uncontrollable grievances.
Only by stroking the lower abdomen and feeling the child can one regain some peace.
"Thank you."
Song Jinyin rubbed her eyes and looked at the little cook who was busy with her, "You don't need to worry about this all the time. The things ahead are quite tricky. I have pills with me, so it won't be a problem if I endure it for a few days."
"Don't worry, girl. There are more than just young people in this mansion. They are just inconspicuous servants. I guess they will be cleared out one after another in the next few days, but they can just enough to protect the girl until she leaves the mansion."
The little cook placed the soup and medicine in front of Song Jinyin, and then opened the baggage that had been placed here in advance.
Inside were some pastries and dried meat of varying softness and hardness, and there was actually a sewing basket prepared for her in another bundle.
"No one will come to this courtyard. Girls can walk around on weekdays. However, if the girl is worried, there is a vegetable cellar behind the neighboring hut. It is empty and useless..."
Song Jinyin's original heart gradually calmed down and she became calmer.
She just hopes that she will be able to settle down as soon as possible, and that the entanglement of these years will be completely dissipated in the wind, and she will no longer need to be mentioned or remembered by anyone.
...
The movement in front did not reach behind. That night, Song Jinyin fell into a deep sleep in the quiet hut.
No one would have thought that the little girl they were searching around was hiding in the house she wanted to escape from, just a few yards away from them.
Pei Yanzhou didn't expect it either.
He searched for her all night.
After stopping at Bi Chuntang, he found Shen Yuhe. He didn't believe that Shen Yuhe didn't know Song Jinyin's whereabouts. He even wanted to tie her back to the dungeon and torture her to extract a confession, which was completely irrational.
But Lin Jingxiu tried his best to stop him.
The Shen family owed the third prince a favor, so Shen Yuhe replaced the head of the Shen family and settled in Kyoto City. He made many pills for the third prince and also did many things for the third prince in private.
Correspondingly, the third prince will protect him, but the Shen family has a profound background and does not need the protection of the court.
Although Lin Jingxiu didn't know the details, he vaguely guessed that if Pei Yanzhou faced off against Shen Yuhe, it would probably lead to a situation where both sides would lose.
"If you still want to avoid being resented by Song Jinyin after you find her, you'd better not touch anyone related to her, especially those who are very likely to help her."
Lin Jingxiu's eyes were dark, and when he saw the man's red eyes, he felt quite unhappy: "Yan Zhou, you have to think clearly, if you find her, how will you get along with her in the future? If you are still the same as before... ....”
The long sword held tightly in Pei Yanzhou's hand fell to the ground at these words, making a crisp sound that made his heart feel painful and numb.
He couldn't touch Shen Yuhe.
Song Jinyin's body, and even the child in her belly, may need Shen Yuhe's help.
But if he couldn't be touched, Shen Yuhe would not tell anything related to Song Jinyin, and he didn't know whether this person would take action in private to help his little girl leave.
Pei Yanzhou didn't dare to think about whether Shen Yuhe would be able to find the person back if he really intervened in this matter.
In the end, the man led the horse and left Bi Chuntang.
When leaving, he lowered his head for the first time, put away his pride, and cupped his hands, not as the prince, but as Pei Yanzhou.
"I was reckless today. I hope Doctor Shen will forgive me and stay here to find Song Jinyin. I still need to trouble Doctor Shen to take care of her body."
It was not only Shen Yuhe who watched him leave, but also Zhou Yanan who was hiding in the house.
The two of them couldn't believe that the man who had just lowered his head to hide his anger for Song Jinyin was Pei Yanzhou.
"Do you want to tell Song Jinyin about this?"
Zhou Yanan frowned and couldn't help but make a sound.
When has Pei Yanzhou ever looked so depressed? He has always looked like a tall and tall cedar in the mountains, as if he would never fall down.
But now, he was suffering from various wounds, his clothes were stained with dirty debris and had traces of burns. He had completely forgotten his identity as the prince, and found himself here in a state of embarrassment.
Didn't he know that Shen Yuhe would only reply that he didn't know, but he still came.
Zhou Yanan felt a little sorry for this former friend, but he was also worried that if Song Jinyin softened her heart because of this, she would still not be able to find stability after returning to the Duke's mansion.
"Do you think that the little girl won't leave if you tell her?"
Shen Yuhe looked away and turned back to the room with an unclear expression.
...
The eldest princess's mansion.
After Lin Jingxiu rode away, the eldest princess immediately sent someone to follow her. She was not sleepy and looked alert.
It wasn't until nearly an hour later that the guard hurriedly reported back the information he had found out, and also sent a message from Lin Jingxiu.
It is not unusual for the eldest princess that her son wants to protect the eldest son of the Pei family.
Just like when she originally set her sights on Pei Yanzhou, she also liked that although he was deep-minded, he had a clear distinction between love and hate, and he was quite stubborn in what he decided on.
If something happens to her silly son in the future, the Pei family's eldest son will never stand idly by.
It's just that the eldest princess didn't expect that something would happen to the thoughtful boy now.
"He once protected my son with his life, and I couldn't help but watch him step into such a place where he was besieged on all sides."
The eldest princess closed her eyes and thought about the current situation. Finally, her thoughts fell on the prince. After a while, she said, "Let the news of the assassin out of the eldest princess' mansion be released. When searching, don't miss any place. Let people prepare the carriage, and I will go to the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, eldest princess."
