Another man in black looked over and said, "Yes, it is here, Cheng'an County. The people sent by the Queen Mother followed His Majesty's cronies all the way here. The Queen Mother and His Highness must be here."
The leading man in black asked seriously: "What did the concubine say?"
The man in black said coldly: "The Princess Dowager has said that the Queen's head must be lifted back this time, and we cannot let people run away like last time."
The leading man in black put away the map and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's leave quickly!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they jumped on their horses and ran towards Cheng'an County.
In Cheng'an County, in order to prevent assassins from coming, County Magistrate Li sent several people to guard one kilometer away from Cheng'an County. As soon as any suspicious person came, he would immediately report it to the county government.
Magistrate Li didn't even dare to blink his eyes these days.
Madam Liu felt distressed, so she made two side dishes and went to the county government office.
When County Magistrate Li saw her coming, he hurriedly came up to her and said, "Why are you here?"
Madam Liu put down the food box in her hand, "I see that you have been busy these days and haven't returned home, so I came here to take a look."
County Magistrate Li said slowly: "I have nothing to do, but it's you. It's not easy for you and your sister to get together, so why not just stay with her in the mansion."
Madam Liu took out the vegetables from the food box one by one, "My sister is much better now. The servant in the mansion is watching over her. She will be fine."
Magistrate Li looked at the food on the table and suddenly felt an appetite, so he started eating with chopsticks.
Lady Liu sat aside with her head lowered and a smile on her face.
Magistrate Li noticed something strange and asked her, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Lady Liu held the handkerchief in her hand, and after a long time she said, "I seem to be pregnant."
Magistrate Li was startled and almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
Madam Liu tightened her handkerchief and said slowly, "The doctor said it's been two months."
Magistrate Li was overjoyed and quickly stood up and came to her side, "Really?"
Lady Liu nodded, "It's true."
Magistrate Li took her into his arms and said, "I never thought I would have a child of my own in this life."
Madam Liu's eyes were red. The two of them had been going around for more than half their lives before they got together. They thought that a child would only be a luxury for them. Who would have thought that God would be so kind to them that they would actually have this child.
Magistrate Li was so excited that he almost cried.
Lady Liu comforted him, and the two of them cuddled together, their eyes turning red.
At this moment, someone reported outside the house: "Sir, sir! A few men in black came from Qingzhou Mansion. We saw something was wrong with them."
Magistrate Li's face darkened, "Where is Magistrate Zheng?"
The man replied: "Prefect Zheng has sent people to stop him."
County Magistrate Li said sternly: "You let people from the Yamen guard you. No matter who they are, as long as they are from the capital, they will not be allowed to enter our Cheng'an County!"
The man responded quickly: "Yes, sir!"
Magistrate Li then sent two more people to Zhou's house to tell Zhou Ruiyuan about the incident.
Outside Qingzhou Prefecture.
The man in black rode on horseback and looked at the guards guarding the front. He frowned and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city gate today."
The leader said seriously: "Don't worry, let's leave here and go around the trail from the back mountain."
Others responded: "Okay, let's leave quickly."
The back mountain of Qingzhou Prefecture is connected to Cheng'an County. It is indeed closer if you walk here, but there is everything on this mountain, so they may not be able to walk there easily.
Although the weather is cold now, the trees in the mountains are still lush.
The leading man looked up and said, "This place is really strange. The trees grow so well in winter."
Others looked at it together, "It is located in the south and is much warmer than our capital city, so the natural trees grow well."
As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a black snake suddenly coming towards them from the tree.
The leading man was shocked and said: "This snake has a triangular head, be careful as it is poisonous!"
The others immediately became nervous and clenched the swords in their hands.
Before long, there were more and more snakes in the forest.
The snakes raised their heads one by one and attacked them.
