It was a thin man dressed in a Tartan uniform. He stood opposite Su Qing and
Xiao Zeyu, staring blankly at the dancing crowd. His eyes were empty, like a wandering soul.
Su Qing recognized him at a glance and quickly ran over to the other side.
However, as she ran over, the thin man turned around and squeezed his way
out.
“Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying.”
Su Qing shouted at her.
Xiao Zeyu saw Su Qing running towards the other side and chased after her. When he heard Su Qing calling Xiao Ying, he was stunned. What was going on.
How could Xiao Ying be here?
Shouldn’t she be in the palace of Tartar with Yelu Chun?
Did Su Qing get the wrong person?
The thin man who looked like Xiao Ying walked quickly and squeezed through the crowd. Su Qing hurriedly pushed away the herdsmen who were blocking her way and chased after her while shouting.
However, the music drowned out her voice. Su Qing watched as Xiao Ying walked away. She was so anxious that she flew into the air and ran to the herdsmen.
“Who is it? Who stepped on my shoulder?”
The people who were stepped on all angrily looked for the person who stepped on them. Xiao Zeyu feared that Su Qing would be in danger, so he flew up and borrowed their shoulders.
“I’m sorry. I’ll borrow it for a moment.
Xiao Zeyu apologized as he stepped on them. The people of Tartan couldn’t understand what he was saying. They couldn’t catch them anyway, so they could only watch as they ran over.
The guards saw that the Emperor and the Empress had run away and were worried that they were in danger. The guards also flew up collectively and tiptoed over the shoulders of the herdsmen as they ran out of the crowd.
“What happened? Where did these people come from?”
This time, everyone stopped watching the dance and looked in the direction where Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing had left.
“Report it to the authorities!”
Someone suggested. Everyone felt the need to report to the government. What
if it was a great thief?
While the citizens of Tartan were reporting to the officials, Xiao Zeyu didn’t know that Su Qing had been chasing after that thin and weak man. However, that seemingly thin and weak man was running very fast.
Fortunately, Su Qing’s qinggong was very powerful. After chasing for a while, she stopped him. The skinny man raised his head in shock and revealed his tiny face. It was Xiao Ying. When she saw Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu, tears quickly gathered in Xiao Ying’s eyes. She threw herself into Su Qing’s arms and shouted,
“Sister-in-law, I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again.”
“Xiao Ying, what happened?”
Su Qing’s heart ached when she saw Xiao Ying crying. She pulled her to a quiet
place and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
“Xiao Ying, what happened?”
Xiao Zeyu’s heart ached when he saw his sister crying. His sister was overjoyed on her wedding day. She was a woman who didn’t like to cry, so why was she suddenly crying like this?
“Sister-in-law, Yelvchun has changed. He has taken a concubine…
The moment Xiao Ying opened her mouth, her tears fell like pearls. Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu’s expressions changed when they heard this.
Back then, Yeluchun swore that he would never take a concubine, so they married Xiao Ying to him.
How could Yeluchun have gone back on his word and forgotten his oath in less than two years?
“Come back to the relay station with us first. Well talk when we get back.” Xiao Zeyu didn’t allow Xiao Ying to talk about such things on the streets. After all, she was a royal family member, and her family’s dirty laundry couldn’t be aired in public.
“Alright.”
Xiao Ying was no longer strong in front of her brother and sister-in-law. She finally had someone to vent her grievances.
When they returned to the relay station, Xiao Zeyu, and Su Qing asked Xiao
Ying what had happened.
It turned out that two months ago, Yeluchun had suddenly brought back a woman. That woman was very beautiful and gentle. She was like a bird leaning on someone as she followed beside Yeluchun and looked at Xiao Ying provocatively.
Since Yelu Chun brought this woman back, he had never returned to Xiao Ying’s room. Even their child was no longer treated as a treasure.
Xiao Ying had gone to find him to make trouble but was coaxed out by Yeluchun. After a few times, Xiao Ying’s heart turned ashen, and she just wanted to stay by his side!
However, five days ago, the child contracted a strange illness. This illness was bizarre. Xiao Ying found Yelu Chun and asked him to send a doctor to treat the child.
That woman said that Xiao Ying was fighting for favor and even pretended to push Yeluchun away from Xiao Ying. The more she said that the more Yeluchun refused to leave and even chased Xiao Ying out.
Xiao Ying had no choice but to beg the emperor. The emperor sent the imperial physician to treat the child and personally visited the child. The imperial physician told Xiao Ying that a strange poison had poisoned the child. If there were no antidote in ten days, he would die.
Xiao Ying was anxious and went to find Yelu Chun to ask him to find a capable person to treat the child. However, she did not know what was going on. He became unusually cold and indifferent to Xiao Ying’s cries.
Xiao Ying had no other choice. She watched helplessly as the child’s entire body turned purple. He was barely left with one breath of life.
Suddenly, she heard the palace maids discussing that Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu had arrived at Mo City. She immediately begged Yelu Chun to send someone to find Su Qing to treat the child.
Not only did Yelu Chun not allow it, but he even locked her up.
It was the palace maid she brought from the Tang Empire who was alert and used herself to exchange for Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying disguised herself as a man and ran out of the palace, wanting to go to Mo City to find Su Qing, but she was hunted down.
Fortunately, Su Qing had given her a sleeve arrow, which had killed the killer at the critical moment. She ran here in a panic.
She thought of her child when she saw the people singing and laughing. Her heart felt like a knife was cutting it. She didn’t hear Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu calling for her.
“You said the child is sick?”
Hearing that his nephew was sick, Xiao Zeyu couldn’t sit still.
The imperial physician said the prince only had ten days to live and could not be delayed.
“It’s been six days. Sister-in-law, please save my child.”
Xiao Ying grabbed Su Qing’s wrist tightly as if she was holding onto a life-saving straw. Her hands were icy, and her body was trembling. Her eyes were filled with despair.
“We’ll leave immediately.”
Su Qing’s heart ached when she saw Xiao Ying’s despair and sadness.
Xiao Ying was being hunted down. Where was the child? What would happen to the child in the palace? Would they let him live for ten days?
Therefore, there was no time to waste. They had to rush to the capital of Tartan immediately.
There was still a day’s journey from here to the palace. Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing brought Xiao Ying along as they traveled day and night without delay. They arrived at the palace a day later.
The capital of Tartar was still the same as before. People came and went on the streets, but there were more soldiers than before. They rode back and forth on horseback and interrogated Han people when they saw them.
“They are looking for me.”
Xiao Ying said to her big brother. When she thought of Yeluchun’s heartlessness, Xiao Ying’s heart turned ashen. She hated herself for being blind and marrying into Tartan without hesitation.
Now, she knew what it meant to be unable to respond to anything.
“Stop right there.”
When the patrol saw Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu’s convoy surrounding them, he pointed his spear at the guard driving the carriage and asked sternly,
“What are you guys doing?”
“We’re businessmen. We’re here to do business.
The guard used the same excuse as before and showed the documents to these people. However, these patrols did not even look at them. They pointed at the curtain and ordered,
“Get everyone in the car out.”
“Let’s go out.”
Su Qing said coldly. She had been holding back her anger all this while. She wanted to see what Yelu Chun was up to..
