Above the town's magistrate court, the aunt who was holding the grandson carefully lifted the cloth on the basket and looked at the gold ingot inside. She took a note from the bottom and walked into the police station, and the grandson raised his head to ask, "Grandma, what is written on this note?"
"Who cares what's written on it. With this gold, we will never have to worry about anything else in our lives. We will do our best!"
Grandma laughed and pulled her grandson's hand tighter. She then quickly walked inside and handed the note to the lord of the magistrate court.
This note only contained six words, "Request for help". Grandma only described the pregnant woman's appearance and thus, she became vigilant. At this moment, the black shadow hiding in a tree near the yamen quietly disappeared.
The yamen runner didn't send anyone to help. Who would have thought that Princess Erdan, who should have been far away in Navy Tide, would now appear here with a big belly? They weren't idiots, but the old granny who left scolded and walked out. She said that the big belly granny shamelessly pretended to be a princess, which could be heard clearly by everyone nearby.
The night was getting darker, and the stars were getting brighter.
Gu Liuyan sat on the edge of the bed, not prepared to fall asleep. However, thinking back to that short period of chaos, the greedy old lady did not forget to stroke the fine material on her sleeve as she smiled, so she put the gold and the note in, asking for her help.
Since the people here were willing to do things for money, then she was naturally willing to contribute the silvers that were used to seal porcelain.
Ye Zichen raised his sleeves, and saw that several of the notes had disappeared, and thought about how those beggars might be curious about the words on the note. If someone believed this to be true, they could tell the government that even if the government didn't do anything, there were people from the Wind Listening Pavilion waiting around.
For his father's sake, his mother had expanded the Wind Listening Pavilion and spread the word throughout the villages, afraid of being disturbed before the war.
With this thought in mind, Gu Pingyan laughed softly as the door was pushed open by the porcelain seal.
"Your Highness, it's time for us to depart."
"Alright." Gu Danyan stretched out her arms towards the porcelain, "We can hurry on our way, but don't go too fast, I can't take it."
"I see that you're quite lively and energetic." The porcelain seal took Gu Danyan's two arms and pulled her up from the bed, but inadvertently glanced at her slightly open collar. The black veined patterns that should have faded away bloomed once again, and there were even small black bags on Gu Daiyan's wrists.
Gu Danyan was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled miserably: "Give me a knife, I want to pierce through all these poison bags."
"I can help you, more carefully than you are now." The porcelain seal clearly felt that Gu Daiyan did not have much strength left. Other than her slightly swollen legs and heavy stomach, her wrist was so slender that it could kill a person.
It was only because her stomach was originally smaller that she realized how thin her body was.
Gu Danyan was led to stand by the porcelain and was untied by her side. However, someone exclaimed softly: "Your Highness, your feet seem to be blue and purple."
"This is normal. It's nothing out of the ordinary." Gu Danyan stretched her feet a bit and lifted her feet to let them put her shoes back on, but her face still remained indifferent as she looked at the porcelain: "I already stood on the edge of the cliff. If I give birth to my child and I die, I hope you can send him back to the Erdan intact."
"I'm just a servant …"
"Since you're a servant, shouldn't you listen to me even more?" Their brush tips were almost touching, but that pair of peach blossom eyes were like a cold pond. That cold feeling crawled onto the back of the porcelain shoulder and said: "Protect this child, I might give him what he wants before he dies, but if you break the oath, I will not mind bringing this secret to the Yin Residence."
Terrifying.
Feng Zhu's right leg took a small step back, and Gu Liuyan, who was standing in front of him, had also distanced herself quite a bit. The coldness in his eyes was completely gone, leaving him with only seventy percent of his impatient look, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "That's all. Let your master handle this when we get back."
"And if we threaten you with your children?" Feng Zhu slowly came to his senses.
Gu Danyan blinked and then smiled: "It doesn't matter, then I will go with my child. If worse comes to worst, I'll go with him to his reincarnation."
This was not at all what a mother should say.
On the other hand, Gu Danyan had already ordered people to bring the paper, brush, and scrolls along with him. He still had a calm expression on his face, as if the words he had said just now were all from his heart, and he felt no guilt at all.
Half an hour later, Gu Danyan had already fallen asleep in the carriage. The hand that was holding the book was resting on his belly, while the other hand was tightly clenched, and his lips were pale.
"If she wasn't a descendant of the Yun Family, she wouldn't have been able to live to this day."
"His Highness doesn't want anything to happen to her."
"Then we should take her to see His Highness the Third Prince. She needs some rest." The man knelt beside Gu Danyan and released her wrist. He continued, "Furthermore, her mood is unstable. I'm afraid that the peace these few days was just a struggle. Pregnant women's emotions should fluctuate a lot."
"In the past, when others called her mother a demoness, I actually felt that she was more like a demoness." After pondering for a long time, he finally made a decision. "Since this is the case, you should inform His Highness the third prince about this matter. If possible, we will immediately find a safe path to return.
"Yes." The man left the carriage without a sound, and the group set off once again.
On the morning of the second day, in the village that they had just left, they found traces of Fanchuan and the others and brought them there as quickly as possible. On the other hand, the medicinal ingredients that they had brought with them when they left earlier that day could smell something.
However, the spy guarding the magistrate court opened his mouth, "There is indeed someone who sent the note. It is a woman with a big belly. It seems to differ from the master's request."
At this point, Ping Chuan remembered that Gu Danyan had returned to Er Dan and that he had not told the spy from the Wind Listening Pavilion that he was pregnant. Since he was only one head and two heads, he walked into the government office with his identity token and asked the lord to bring out the note from yesterday.
That lord looked at the identity token in Pingchuan's hand, and saw that it was as if he had seen the emperor, he did not dare to disobey, so he quickly took out the items, counted them and found two or three, and said, "These few pieces of paper are all connected, it seems to say that in the yard outside the city, Princess Erdan, Yan'Er, these few words are connected, please have a look."
With just a glance, Ping Chuan could tell that this was Gu Danyan's handwriting. He immediately lowered his face and said: "Send someone to search it."
Four hours later, the people from the Wind Listening Pavilion returned to the magistrate court with a single sentence, "We did not find him."
With a sullen expression, he stuffed the notes back into the bamboo tube, tied them to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and flew back into Yun's hands.
He arrived a step too late.
