Chapter 2: Hiding in the Deep Mountains

  Yun Qing stared at the curtain, simply staring blankly at herself without speaking, with tears still welling up in her eyes. She knew she was grieving for her mistress, but now they didn't have time to indulge in self-pity. After all, Yun Qing had just given birth and was still very weak. The sky was getting dark, and this place was deep in the mountains, so it would definitely be unsafe at night. They had to find a place to settle down first, and talk about other things later.

  Yun Qing suddenly opened his mouth and called out: "Lian'er, this place is not suitable for a long stay. We must hurry up and leave here quickly. Do you know where there is a place to settle down nearby?"

  "Miss, aren't you going back to General's residence?" Curtain looked at Yun Qing with confusion.

  "I'll go back, but not now." Yun Qing looked towards the deep mountains outside the forest, with the memories left by the owner of this body. Those people probably won't let her off, if she guessed correctly, someone will come soon, and they won't even make it to General's mansion before being caught, then they really won't survive. The woman in General's mansion wasn't a concern for now, what was important was to recover her physical strength.

  "Let's go, into the mountains." Yun Qing made a decisive decision. "Take the quilt out of the coffin, cover it with the lid, and bring the iron shovel with us. Don't leave any traces at the scene." In the mountains, there is still a glimmer of hope amidst danger.

  The curtain couldn't help but stare at Yun Qing, Miss, since you're fine, why not return to General's Mansion and wait for Master to make a decision? Why do you want to enter the mountain? How can your body withstand it, and how can Young Master endure the bumps?

  "If you want to stay alive, listen to me." Yun Qing's tone had cooled down. She didn't blame her for not understanding, but feared that even the former Yun Qing couldn't see through the twists and turns of this situation. The current General's Manor was probably also not peaceful.

  "Yes, miss." The curtain saw Yun Qing's cold expression and seemed to realize something. She handed the child in her hand over to Yun Qing, quickly picked up the clothes in the coffin, covered the coffin lid, took the iron shovel and supported Yun Qing as they walked into the deep mountains. What Yun Qing didn't know was that a pair of eyes had already taken in all their movements from behind.

  After they left, a person jumped down from the tree beside, wearing a white dress, with a face like a bright moon, dense eyebrows, beautiful lip shape, and a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling as he gazed at Yun Qing who was leaving. The corner of his mouth hooked up evilly. Unexpectedly, this time back, I actually encountered such an interesting thing, it seems that this time will not be boring. General's mansion? With a flash of his body, the person had already disappeared from the original place.

  Bamboo courtyard, inside lived the concubine, Prime Minister Shen Zhao's daughter Shen Yunxi. At this time, she was seen reclining on a noble chair, wearing a dress of emerald green smoke gauze, with a pale pink color that set off her face like a peach blossom. Her skin was as smooth as jade, her eyebrows were lightly painted, and the luster of her lips was enticing. A light yellow sash was tied around her waist, revealing a slender figure that could be grasped in one hand. One hand supported her head, while the other gently rested on her abdomen, with her eyes slightly closed, what a warm and gentle woman.

  "Your Ladyship, Mrs. Zhang is outside asking to see you. She says that this year's plum blossoms are blooming exceptionally well and asks if Your Ladyship would like to take a look." reported Yu Xi, the little maid, softly.

  The beauty on the couch slowly opened her eyes, emitting a thread of sharp light. June appreciates plum blossoms? Good. Gently opening cherry lips: "Tell her, just say she has a heart. It's just that plum blossoms bloom in severe cold, but we must trim the branches in advance."

  "Yes." Yuanyi responded and retreated. Hongru saw the situation and helped Shen Ce to sit in front of the dressing table, grooming her appearance. "Your Majesty, Second Madam has come this time, she must have good news. Your Majesty won't see her?"

  "Yu Yan is not clever, but he's not foolish either." Shen Ce Fei raised her hand to adjust the hairpin on her head, got up and walked to the clothes rack, picked up the clothes on it. In a few more days, it would be his birthday, and she wanted to give them to him personally.

  "It's still better for the princess." Hong Dou followed behind Shen Ce Fei.

  In the side hall, Second Lady Zhang Yuyan sat elegantly with one hand supporting a teacup and the other lightly pinching the lid. Her face was painted with delicate makeup, almond eyes, willow eyebrows, cherry lips, and her hair was coiled to one side with a cloud-shaped hairpin inserted at an angle. A pearl chain hung down, gently swaying as she blew on the tea soup. She wore a blue dress with a white jade pendant around her waist, below which hung red tassels, making her look like a beautiful jade. With one hand supporting the teacup and the other pinching the lid, she caught sight of Yuanyu approaching from the corner of her eye, but did not see Consort Shen come out. Her heart already understood, and she put down the teacup: "Sister, what did you say?"

  "Madam, the princess said 'The plum blossoms are blooming in the cold winter, but we must prune the branches ahead of time.'" Yuanyi bowed and spoke with seeming respect.

  The second lady's eyes flashed with a hint of tears as she trimmed the branches...
