Chapter 329 There Was Always a Wrong Infatuation in Troubled Times
On the way to Yangzhou, Bai Aoxue saw many people fleeing.
She did not know how many people had been displaced by this war, but she knew very well in her mind that the number must be huge because a country’s fate was doomed to imbue with sacrifice, and many things left no choice.
This time the end of the war would finish the uneasy and unstable life.
Besides, it would represent the birth of a new country that was heading for real prosperity.
In the future, there would be no more wars that would displace more people and make them feel uneasy.
Sitting in the carriage, although it was a bit hot, they were able to endure. But the little crown prince suffered and would not go anywhere else except the arms of his mother.
Bai Aoxue’s body was somewhat cold at any time, and the little crown prince knew it and tightly tugged on her clothes with the fat little tender hand, for afraid of anyone else would rob his mother from him.
They stopped and went all the way, and it was dark.
“Mistress, we’ll be in Yangzhou by noon tomorrow. Let’s rest at the post tonight and then go,” Phantom looked at the lights ahead and asked softly.
Bai Aoxue looked at the little crown prince in a deep sleep and whispered, “Fine, rest for a night.”
And Li Xiao and others also followed Bai Aoxue’s orders and went to prepare things first.
When arriving at the post station, Bai Aoxue took Jianjia and entered the room with the little crown prince in arms. Jianjia quickly threw herself on the bed when she was into the room.
And the little crown prince woke up as well. He looked at the surroundings in a novel way. Seeing Jianjia sleeping on the bed, he jumped with his small body and wanted to follow her to the bed.
Bai Aoxue thought quickly and put the little crown prince on the bed. Jianjia also leaned over to give him some room.
“Jianjia, take care of your brother and don’t let him roll down the bed. I’ll talk to Brother Li Xiao,” Bai Aoxue looked at Jianjia and whispered.
Upon hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Jianjia got up at once and said, “Sister Aoxue, don’t worry. I will take good care of my brother.”
Bai Aoxue saw this and left with no worries.
On this side, Li Xiao and Ying San were still discussing with Phantom about things tomorrow. When seeing Bai Aoxue coming, they saluted at the same time.
“When we arrive at Yangzhou tomorrow, you go to support Jun Yeyan. Judging from the news we heard along the way, Qi Liange won’t hold out much longer. You may fight with him if going there tomorrow,” Bai Aoxue looked at the three people and said faintly.
“In my opinion, it is better to leave Phantom and Ying San at your side, and it will be enough that I lead the soldiers to go. Even if Master is important to us, Mistress and little Master are just the same important to us,” hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Li Xiao thought for a moment and said.
And Phantom heard Li Xiao’s words, with eyebrows wrinkled without a trace, which was captured by the keen Bai Aoxue.
“Phantom, you go down and see if the food in the post station is ready, and have them prepare hot water and send it to my room,” Bai Aoxue tilted her head, looked at Phantom aside and ordered.
Hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, Phantom did not have any objection but quickly acted.
“When we arrived at Yangzhou tomorrow, I will go directly to Liujiabao, which is heavily guarded and there will be no danger for us inside. Therefore, you can go to the Nanyue Dynasty without worrying about my son and me,” Bai Aoxue turned to look at Li Xiao and said.
Li Xiao suddenly understood when hearing Bai Aoxue’s words. Yes… Yangzhou had a Liujiabao, the fort lord of which had a relationship with Mistress that would surely secure her safety until death.
“I feel that… it is better to leave Ying San and Zi Yuanyue here to care for you. Phantom has been having some unusual actions in recent days. I am worried that she will do something out of line. Let me take her to the Nanyue Dynasty,” Li Xiao pondered over the matter and finally said earnestly.
When hearing Li Xiao’s words, Bai Aoxue narrowed her phoenix-like eyes slightly and then said, “That’s it. It’s getting late, and you have a rest after having a meal. ”
After saying, Bai Aoxue turned and left.
When Bai Aoxue left, a shadow flashed outside the window, but all of them pretended to see nothing and do their own business as usual.
Bai Aoxue went back to her room and saw Jianjia and the little crown prince sleeping soundly. It seemed that Phantom had come and left hot water.
Bai Aoxue tidied up herself and turned off the lights to rest after washing her face and feet.
Bai Aoxue did not notice anything wrong outside when sleeping.
She was tired of hurrying off the journey these days. The incense in the room also made her fall asleep, relaxing her a lot.
Bai Aoxue turned over to protect Jianjia and the little crown prince and fell asleep drowsily.
The door did not be quietly pushed open without a sound until the person confirmed that Bai Aoxue was asleep,
A shadow quietly flashed into the room. Through the brightness of the moonlight, one could see it was a woman’s slim figure.
After noticing that the three people, including Bai Aoxue, were still asleep, the woman carefully picked up the little crown prince, who was sleeping in the innermost part and propped up Bai Aoxue to her back with one hand.
The shadow opened the window, seeing the soldiers patrolling downstairs had already bypassed here at the moment. She carried Bai Aoxue and quietly floated down the stairs with the little crown prince in her arm.
The shadow walked carefully with every step, with beads of sweat dripping from the forehead, but there was no time for her to wipe them off,
After noticing that there was no one at the moment, the shadow held the little crown prince and carried Bai Aoxue to the direction where Bai Aoxue and her people had come.
It was a long way from the post. The woman stopped and found the carriage parked nearby until the lights of the post could not be seen. She bounded Bai Aoxue’s hands and feet and placed the little crown prince beside her. The woman got into the carriage and whispered, “Go!”
On hearing this, the driver of the carriage did not have any extra problems but drove away quickly.
The woman always thought that she had done nothing wrong, but she didn’t find it that Jianjia, who was sleeping in bed, had already woken up before she took Bai Aoxue away.
Jianjia left quickly and told Li Xiao and others about the incident, and all of them were also ready to take their troops to the direction the shadow left.
“I did not expect that Phantom would betray Master!” Ying San gnashed his teeth and said.
“If Mistress hadn’t discovered it early, maybe we wouldn’t have discovered her abnormality now, and would have even made a big mistake!” Li Xiao looked at the dark in front of them and said faintly.
Ying San nodded and was rather frightened. If Bai Aoxue hadn’t found out, maybe they would really have neglected their duties. Ying San forced himself to calm down and said, “Follow them in a far distance first, and don’t let her find us.”
The carriage did not stop all the time, and it sped along as if it had been in a hurry to meet someone.
Phantom looked at Bai Aoxue and the little crown prince with some apologies in her eyes.
“Boohoo…” Phantom was lost in thought when the little crown prince howled, which brought her back to reality.
Although wondering why would the little crown prince woke up, Phantom hastily picked him up. She only knew how to kill a person instead of hugging a baby. When doing this, her hands trembled faintly.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Don’t cry, please….” Phantom looked at the little crown prince and coaxed in a low voice.
However, the little crown prince did not stop crying and was still howling bitterly.
A cold voice sounded beside Phantom just when she was busy coaxing the baby.
“Why should you do such a thing since you feel sorry?”
Phantom turned quickly but saw Bai Aoxue looking at her for every moment without blinking, with eyes sharp and clear, who was not sleepy.
Phantom knew she had been trapped by Bai Aoxue and smiled sadly, “Why… Of course, to fulfill his wish. He wants to see you. If you don’t go, maybe he will really die, which I really don’t want to see! So I have to do it.”
“Is it worthwhile for you to do so?” Bai Aoxue looked at Phantom and said. Even though her hands and feet were tied at the moment, she was still proud and not a bit down and out.
“I don’t know whether it is worth, but I want to save him, which is what I want to do most. Even if I have to betray Master, I will not hesitate! But I did not expect that you would be so smart as to know my plan,” Phantom looked at Bai Aoxue with heartfelt admiration.
“I can let you go to the Nanyue Dynasty if you want to. Release me, and I won’t go with you,” Bai Aoxue sighed slightly.
Phantom looked at Bai Aoxue’s clear eyes without any calculation. After a moment’s hesitation, she untied Bai Aoxue’s rope.
“I can go to the Nanyue Dynasty with you, and this matter will be neglected. You are still a member of Jun Yeyan’s Shadow,” Bai Aoxue took over the little crown prince and whispered.
Phantom was shocked when hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, “Why?”
“Jun Yeyan said that after you have been with him for so many years, he will give you a chance to correct any mistakes. He allows you to correct while I allow you to pursue your happiness. I’ll go with you to the Nanyue Dynasty for, to be honest, I don’t want anything happens to Qi Liange,” Bai Aoxue fingered the little crown prince’s small nose and whispered.
And when Phantom heard Bai Aoxue’s words, the person who had never cried, however, shed tears at this moment.
“Sorry… Sorry….”
Bai Aoxue said nothing. If she had stopped her feel guilty at this time, it would have been artificial.
Li Xiao and others followed at a distance and did not disturb.
Along the way, it took some time to enter Yangzhou from the Nanyue Dynasty. At the moment, they could only hurry off the journey day and night.
Even if Bai Aoxue and Phantom were willing to change something, they were still a step late.
The capital city of the Nanyu Dynasty had been broken, the people had surrendered, and Jun Yeyan’s army was in good order to monitor the prisoners. There were no rape or plunder cases.
But Bai Aoxue did not have time to check these at the moment and followed Phantom into the Imperial Palace of the Nanyue Dynasty at a brisk pace, which was now in a state of dilapidation, with all kinds of precious objects looted and no maidservants and eunuchs.
“Where will they be?” Bai Aoxue looked at Phantom anxiously and said.
Phantom looked at the place where peach blossoms were flying and whispered, “You come with me!”
