Fortunately, it was the Chinese New Year period and the curfew was not strict. After the two concubines took their children out of the streets of Prince Xian's Mansion, they successfully got into a carriage.

After the carriage took them around their respective natal homes, the two concubines did not have the courage to go down. Going back at this time would cause trouble for their natal families, and they would not get a good look.

Then they called the coachman to take them to the inn. As a result, the six of them, except for their clothes and jewelry, had no household registration and were unable to register for the inn.

They then asked the coachman to take them to an inn that did not require household registration, and then let the coachman leave.

What’s a good place for an inn that doesn’t require household registration? !

Concubine Li and Concubine Song immediately regretted it. The four children kept hiding behind them, looking frightened.

The faces of the innkeeper and the waiter looked a bit mean, and they looked at them with malicious eyes.

Even after they revealed that they were the royal concubine and the young master of the royal palace, they even laughed at them.

If you are the prince’s concubine, then I am still the prince!

How can any of the royal concubines still hang out outside at this time? There is no one around to serve you. Who do you think you are, a concubine of the palace? From the theater? Hahaha……

At the foot of the Imperial City, do you two really think that we have never seen what the female family members of noble families are like? You can’t even find a good reason to lie!

Although it is already dark now, is there still little time left before dreaming?

What? Do you really think that if you wear a dress with better fabrics, you are the concubine of the palace? Then I am wearing yellow clothes, am I the one above?

Yo yo yo, the little lady is actually crying?

These unscrupulous taunts and ridiculing words fell into the ears of the two concubines, which immediately made them angry, and tears rolled in their eyes.

In addition, the four children were still shouting that they were hungry and wanted to eat.

The sarcasm of others and the shouts of children reached the ears of Concubine Li and Concubine Song, making them both frightened and irritable.

Although the two of them were not taken seriously at home, they were both born as ladies of the Earl's Palace. They grew up in fine clothes and fine food, making slaves and maids. How had they ever dealt with such a ruffian?

They dare not say that others have not scolded them or ridiculed them, but they have never seen such a scene where they were said to their faces and looked at them with obscene expressions in their words.

Finally, they could not help but feel fear rising in their hearts. They exited the inn and stood in the night not knowing where to go, so they could only walk along the street.

There were people from the inn behind them who came out to look at them, looking malicious.

These people really don't believe that Concubine Li, Concubine Song and others are the concubines of the palace, but the jewelry they wear on their heads and hands is worth a lot of money. After all, they are wives from wealthy families.

The greed in their hearts is constantly growing. They plan to wait and see. If no one really responds to them, then they might as well take advantage of them!

The two concubines held the younger one and led the older one as they walked out of a street, walking faster and faster. It was not that they didn't feel someone following them behind them, but they didn't dare to look back!

If it weren't for their physical weakness, they would all want to run.

But fortunately, they were lucky enough. After running out of a street, they met the driver again.

Compared with the people who knew they had bad intentions just by hearing their footsteps after getting up, the honest-looking coachman naturally made them feel more secure.

Quickly walking to the carriage, Concubine Li and Concubine Song quickly took a golden hairpin from their heads and threw it into the coachman's arms, and then quickly climbed onto the carriage with their children.

They held their children uneasily and huddled in the carriage, as if the narrow wooden carriage gave them a great sense of security.

Coachman: "..."

Where can I go?

When thinking about where to go, Concubine Li and Concubine Song looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. They really didn't have anywhere to go now...

If they go back to their parents' home at this time, they will not say that they are not welcome, and they will think that they are bringing bad luck to them.

They have a village, but it is outside the city. There is no yard where they can live in the city, because their original value was not enough for their parents to buy a yard for them in the city. After all, houses in Beijing are expensive, and the houses in more remote places are less. It costs hundreds or even thousands of taels!

Even the shops under their names are like the rouge and gouache fabric shop, and there is no place to live even if they want to.

Not to mention that as a concubine of the prince's palace, since she was not allowed to meet her husband, the only people who came forward to deal with the shopkeeper were their nuns and personal maids.

After going there, people may not know me, and they may not laugh at me like the people at the inn just now, but there are still doubts.

The sky is huge and the earth is huge, but at this moment, they feel that after leaving the palace gate, they have nowhere to go.

I can't help but feel a little sad.

The carriage driver sitting outside the door curtain weighed the two golden hairpins in his hand, looked at the tightly blocked door curtain behind him, and then looked back at the group of people who had followed Concubine Li and others and had evil intentions in their hearts.

He slowly pulled out a long knife with a cold light from under the frame, holding the handle of the knife with the tip of the knife standing on the ground, grinning at the group of people, and he looked more honest and kind.

That group of people with malicious intentions: "..." Damn it, someone actually took a step ahead of them!

Although he was unwilling to do so, he still backed down after considering the knife in his hand and his friendly face.

The more honest a person looks, the more aggressive they are. They have learned this before.

So a group of people looked at the carriage with evil eyes, and after a while, they backed away and left.

When the group of people were staring at the carriage, Concubine Li and Concubine Song couldn't help but lift the curtains of the windows on both sides to see if the group of people had left, but they happened to meet those people's sinister eyes.

After they lowered the curtain with a swipe, Concubine Li and Concubine Song's hearts almost jumped out of their throats, and they almost couldn't find their voices.

After a while, the coachman heard a voice coming from inside the car, "Go to the back door of Prince Xian's Mansion."

Even if it's the back door, it's the back door of Prince Xian's palace. All the dignitaries gathered around it. Ruffians like that don't dare to wander around easily.

Although it is not dignified, it is safer after all.

The coachman said nothing, put back the long knife in his hand, and drove the carriage towards the back door of Prince Xian's palace.

After feeling the carriage move, Concubine Li and Concubine Song breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was too early to relax. Halfway through the journey, Concubine Li's eldest son Zhao Yuanwu actually got a fever.

Several others also had fever symptoms, but they were milder than Zhao Yuanwu.

It is very common in this era for children to die prematurely due to fever.

Concubine Li and Concubine Song were so frightened that if the child was gone, they would really have no one to rely on in this life!

The coachman heard the exclamation in the carriage, hesitated for a while, and stopped the carriage. The moment he opened the curtain, his honest face showed panic, and he asked in a worried tone:

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The coachman paused. Did I overact?

But at this time, how could Concubine Li and Concubine Song pay attention to these things? When they heard the worried words, Concubine Li and Concubine Song burst into tears, and said incomparably: "It's fever, my child has fever, How to do how to do?"

The coachman was silent. He knew clearly that his children had been beaten, so he didn't find a doctor for them in time. He even dragged them to wait in the cold wind for so long. It would be strange if they didn't get sick!

"Then, that, then... let's go find the doctor now..." The driver hurriedly exited and drove the carriage towards the hospital.
