The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 403 Watermelon Seeds

"Father, do you mean that my sister-in-law is still alive?"

He Yuwen took out a note: "This is what your sister-in-law asked Yuntian to bring to you."

He Yunyi quickly unfolded the note, on which there were only four words written: Be well, don't worry.

"Sister-in-law is still alive! She is still alive!" He Yunyi said in surprise: "This is sister-in-law's handwriting, I recognize it!"

Princess Ding looked at it and asked in confusion: "Then why doesn't she come back?"

"You'll have to ask Jing Heng for details, but this guy has now left the military camp affairs to me. He went out to do some work, so I think he went to see Ruoyi." He Yuwen patted Qin's shoulder and said, "You two should relax and take good care of yourselves. Don't get sick."

Coming out of their room, He Yuwen whispered, "Any news about Jing Heng?"

The deputy general beside him shook his head: "The prince's whereabouts are secret, it is not something we can find out."

"This brat!" He Yuwen sneered. He thought for a moment and asked again, "What about Qi Nian and the others?"

"According to the prince's instructions, I have already settled Aunt Zhao and the Second Young Master in a manor on the outskirts of the city. The servants in the manor were all newly purchased, so there will definitely be no news leaking out."

"Yes." He Yuwen nodded: "Princess, you must keep this a secret. If there is any mistake, I will only hold you accountable!"

"Yes!"

At this time, in the farm on the outskirts of the city, Aunt Zhao was dressed up beautifully, wearing more pearls and jade on her head than her daughter-in-law.

He Qinian came to her yard and said in a deep voice, "Mother, has the king said when he will come to see us?"

"What's the hurry? Your father is so busy, how can he have time to come every day?"

"It's been a while since we returned to Beijing, but my father hasn't even shown up."

"So what?" Aunt Zhao hummed a little tune: "If mother can return to the capital and have your father settle us down, we can return to the palace again."

He Qinian frowned and said, "Mother, I don't want to go back."

Aunt Zhao paused with her hairpin on her hand: "What did you say?"

"Mom, when you did those things, grandma will never forgive you. Although I didn't participate, I am your child, so I can't escape the blame."

"I did those things?" She snorted coldly, "What did I do? I just poisoned Cong, but I did it for a reason! Isn't it for us to escape? What kind of place is that? The land of exile! A place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. If we live there forever, it won't be long before we lose our lives."

"But what are you going to do about Father?"

"Just remember what I said. Whenever your father asks you about what happened back then, you can say that you wanted to leave the land of exile to find him. Although your father is a man who leads troops in battle and kills without blinking an eye, he is soft-hearted. You are his son, and he will definitely not really ignore you. As for me, your mother has no other abilities, but it is very easy for me to coax a man."

When He Qinian heard her say this, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Son, don't worry, the position of the crown prince of this palace will be yours sooner or later."

"Mother, I've told you that I don't want the throne of the crown prince. Besides, my brother is a legitimate son with outstanding abilities. He is the one who can truly inherit the throne."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slap landed on his face: "Useless thing! Are you my child? I have been strong all my life, so how could I give birth to a useless thing like you? The throne! The throne! That throne should have been ours!"

"mother!"

"Okay, shut up!" Aunt Zhao glared at him and said, "Get out of here and don't get in the way."

Hearing this, He Qinian had no choice but to retreat.

Lin Shuyu was standing in the yard. When she saw him coming out, she hurried forward and said, "Husband."

He Qinian shook his head and sighed: "Don't take anything mother says to heart in the future."

Lin Shuyu nodded, looked deeply at Aunt Zhao's yard, and left with He Qinian.

It was two days later when Shang Ruoyi arrived at the capital of the Western Regions.

The capital of the Western Regions was extremely bustling, with horse-drawn carriages driving into the streets and countless vendors hawking their wares on the streets.

At this time, the weather in the Western Regions had warmed up and people were wearing very cool clothes.

The most similar thing between the Western Regions and Beiling is the tough folk customs.

It is very normal for women to show their faces in public here, and you can always see women running businesses on the streets.

Just then, a stall caught her attention.

She hastened to stop the carriage.

"Ruoyi, what's the matter?"

"Brother, I have never been to such an interesting street. I want to take a look. Can I?"

Hearing her say this, Jun Zeqian's eyes flashed with a look of heartache: "I'll go shopping with you." As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to get up, but Shang Ruoyi pressed him directly on the chair: "Brother, with your face, I'm afraid that someone will recognize you in any corner of the Western Regions. I want to go shopping, but how can I go shopping in this state?"

"What should I do?"

"Wait for me at the mansion. I'll go to the palace when it gets dark. Ask Yuqing to follow me." After she finished speaking, she instructed again, "I don't want to reveal my identity yet. Even when I go to the mansion, please call me Young Master Lingjun."

"Okay, okay." Jun Zeqian smiled helplessly: "You have said this many times over and over again. We all remember that your father was so happy that he wanted to tell the world about your recovery, but you refused to let me say it. Didn't you see how ugly your father's face was?"

"From now on, brother will know why I did what I did today." She smiled and turned to get off the carriage.

Yuqing followed her and the two of them disappeared in the crowd.

Shang Ruoyi wore a mask and waved a folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man. Although only half of his face was exposed, his noble temperament could not be concealed.

"Little Princess."

"Hush!" Shang Ruoyi said hurriedly, "Call me Master."

"Young Master, what are you doing here?"

"I just came here to take a look and experience the customs and practices of the Western Regions." She came to a stall, looked at the seeds on display, and asked with a smile, "What are these?"

"Sir, this seed can grow a kind of fruit."

"Fruits?"

The man scratched his head and said, "Yes, this fruit has a green skin and red inside. It tastes great!"

Green skin and red flesh, this is clearly a watermelon.

She came over to ask because she thought the seeds looked like watermelon seeds.

Now there are all kinds of fruits in her space, except watermelon.

Just as she was about to buy something, she heard the vendor next to her say, "You're cheating people again. What kind of melon and fruit seeds are these? They can't grow at all! How many people have come to you to ask for compensation after buying them? Now that you see that you are young, you're cheating again?"
