Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Xiao Ziyi, who returned to his house, stood in front of the study window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sky in the distance.

I wonder when the emperor brother will be able to come back...

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch. I've sent someone to send you to the study."

At this time, Chen Jiarou walked into the study with her pregnant belly supported by the maid.

Xiao Ziyi looked at the slow-moving concubine coming to deliver lunch to him, a hint of disapproval flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support her.

"Why are you coming here at this time? Be careful, don't these maids want to persuade their master?"

The maid beside Chen Jiarou quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, please forgive me."

Chen Jiarou reached out and grabbed Xiao Ziyi's arm, and quickly explained that it was not the maid's fault, it was because she heard that the prince had not been able to eat or sleep well for several days, so she was worried...

Chen Jiarou's face softened in Xiao Ziyi's house, and her voice softened, "Don't worry."

He helped the concubine onto the soft couch and thoughtfully placed a soft cushion behind her. Then he turned to the maid kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"Get up. Concubine, please pay more attention here. If anything happens, I'll ask you."

Xiao Ziyi said in a cold voice.

Chen Jiayi smiled slightly and waved secretly towards her maid.

"Your Majesty, please eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold. Don't worry, I will pay attention to it next time."

Xiao Ziyi leaned over and pinched Chen Jiarou's chin, raising his eyebrows and asking if there would be a next time?

Looking at the prince who was approaching her, Chen Jiarou's face suddenly turned red and she looked away with evasive eyes.

Just then there was a knock on the study door.

"Your Majesty, I am here to bring you ginseng soup."

Chen Jiarou started to stand up in panic, but Xiao Ziyi pushed her back and glared at her: "Sit down!"

Then he sat down at the low table and shouted toward the door:

"Come in."

Hu Shuyun outside the door personally carried the ginseng soup and walked into the study. When she saw Concubine Chen in the room, she was startled for a moment. Then she put a smile on her face and came to the table, put down the ginseng soup, and blessed Xiao Zi. .

"I've met the prince, and my sister is here too! She's pregnant and looks like she's not far away from giving birth?"

When Chen Jiarou heard her mention the child, a motherly light appeared in her eyes, and she nodded slightly towards Hu Shuyun.

"Concubine Hu, please take a seat. You are more thoughtful."

Xiao Ziyi glanced at Hu Shuyun at this time and said in a deep voice, thank you for your hard work!

"My concubine is working hard there."

After saying that, she mentioned that her father sent someone to tell her to warn the prince and be careful of the fourth prince.

Xiao Ziyi's face darkened, his eyes darkened, and he asked her what his father had discovered?

"In the past two days, my father said that someone has been sending messages to the house, inviting my father to go, but he didn't say who it was. My father sent someone to follow him and found that the person who sent the message went to the fourth prince's house."

Xiao Ziyi grabbed the low table with his big hands, his face darkened. At this time, he even doubted whether his father's body was related to the fourth child.

At this moment, Xiao Ziyi only hoped that the emperor's brother and the miracle doctor would arrive soon.

"My lord, you should also pay more attention to your health. My father and mother still need me more..."

Hu Shuyun persuaded her more calmly at this time. Chen Jiarou on the side was full of worry at this time, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

Xiao Ziyi looked at the two women in the room and told them that it was best to stay at home and be careful recently, hoping that he was overly worried.

Hu Shuyun and Chen Jiarou looked at each other, and then Concubine Hu said solemnly:

"You don't have to worry about things in the prince's house. My sister will pay more attention to me here. Don't worry, prince."

Xiao Ziyi felt a lot comforted when he saw the two women living in such harmony.

At this time, Chu Haochen and his party were still running around at the speed of life and death.

"Qing'er, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?"

Xiao Zimo also frowned at Lu Qingqing at this time, and saw Lu Qingqing shaking her head with a cold expression.

"Don't worry I'm fine, just carry on."

Chu Haochen's eyes flashed with distress, and then he turned to look at the official road in front of him, swung the whip in his hand and shouted in a dull voice: "Drive"

Lu Qingqing glanced at Ziyao next to her, and then followed closely.

Mo Yi from the back was also surprised by the perseverance of the princess and Miss Ziyao. They really didn't stop all the way.

Xiao Zimo has been worried about the situation in the capital. He wonders whether his ninth brother can cope with it. Moreover, his father is ill, and his mother doesn't know how to feel sad at this time.

"Don't worry too much. Xiao Ziyi is not that stupid. Although he usually acts carelessly, he never loses control at critical moments."

Chu Haochen saw Xiao Zimo's face on the side and guessed what he was thinking. Moreover, when he left the capital this time, he also made some secret arrangements. Since his subordinates did not send him any news, they should not have done so yet. What a big movement.

"I'm worried that my father's illness is man-made..."

Xiao Zimo said what was in his heart. If that were the case, the queen mother would be in great danger.

"drive!"

As they spoke, several people urged their horses forward even more anxiously. The official road was pitch black at night. Mo Yi and Xiao Zimo's guards were riding and holding torches while running hard beside their master.

Lu Qingqing's physical strength was also a little weak at this time. She quickly brought some water from the spiritual spring in the space and poured it into her mouth, not forgetting to throw a bottle to Ziyao beside her.

"Then, drink it!"

Ziyao's eyes lit up when she saw what her master had thrown over her, and she nodded with a smile. Chu Haochen also noticed the little movements of the master and servant, and raised the corners of his lips to smile.

He has also been worried about Qing'er's health. It seems that he is worrying too much.

Suddenly, Chu Haochen felt a surge of pain in his chest. He unconsciously touched his chest. This small movement was quickly caught by Lu Qingqing.

"Chu Haochen, are you okay?"

When Chu Haochen heard the noise, he turned his head slightly, squeezed out a smile on his lips, and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry!"

Lu Qingqing took out the medicine ring and threw it into his hand.

"then!"

Chu Haochen stretched out his hand to catch it, curled his lips, and then drank it in one gulp under Lu Qingqing's watchful eyes.

Xiao Zimo was so anxious at this moment that he didn't notice the two people's movements at all.

The group of people ran until it was slightly light. The horse under Xiao Zimo couldn't run anymore. When it slowed down, Chu Haochen persuaded him to take a rest and let the horse take a breath and drink some water!

Otherwise, even if a human can bear it, the horse cannot bear it.

Xiao Zimo had no choice but to stop first, and several people came to a small river outside the city to let the horses rest first.

Lu Qingqing got off the horse and took Ziyao around in a circle around the horses' mouths.

Ziyao concealed the fact that the others didn't notice any abnormality at all. She fed the mud-skinned horse water from the spiritual spring, otherwise it would be difficult for the horse to recover its strength quickly.

"Master and slave, there is some food in Biyun's bag. You and the two princes can eat some."

With that said, Ziyao took off the baggage from the horse.

"Chu Haochen, Prince Rui, come and have something to eat before setting off."
