After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 323 My stomach hurts so much!

"Your Majesty bringing back the Crown Prince will inevitably disrupt the balance of the court! Your Majesty understands this better than I do!"

"This assassination attempt was small-scale and seemed like a spur-of-the-moment thing, just a bunch of rabble. But things will be different after tonight. Our true route will be exposed, and we can't stay here any longer! We need to get going quickly tomorrow morning!"

Lou Chen's cold eyes flashed with bloodlust; it was time for a major reshuffle and purge of the court.

Now that he has found the Crown Prince, these people can no longer use this as an excuse to make things difficult for him!
So it's not surprising that they would try to assassinate him in order to save their own lives!
It's just unknown whose idea it was to send these assassins—the court officials or his "gentle and virtuous" concubines.
When Pei Yuanjun returned, he found that Qi Yunran had already fallen asleep. He looked at her sleeping face with complicated emotions.

He silently vowed in his heart: My wife, I will definitely protect you!
Pei Yuanjun easily evaded several assassination attempts with his cunning, and they changed their route again!

We've been traveling for two and a half months now, and we'll be arriving in the capital in just one more day!
After falling asleep at night, Qi Yunran was suddenly awakened from a strange dream!

When I woke up, I was covered in cold sweat, and a strong sense of resentment and hatred welled up in my heart!

In her dream, she was tied to an altar, surrounded by masked men in black!

Their faces were ugly and hideous, and they looked extremely terrifying!

She seemed to be chanting something as attacks rained down on her, and she felt her entire soul tremble!

Finally, she was pushed off the altar, and all she could hear was the eerie, grating laugh of the masked man in black sitting in the main seat.

Qi Yunran clutched her chest, feeling uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen!
At this moment, Pei Yuanjun heard the noise of the carriage and immediately came over: "My wife is awake, you can get out and get some fresh air!"

Qi Yunran was helped off the carriage as instructed; she was already seven months pregnant!
As they approached the capital, joy flashed in their eyes. For the past two months, they had been living in constant fear, worried that failing to protect the Emperor and the young prince would implicate their families!

Now that they were almost at the capital, they immediately perked up!
Thanks to the Prime Minister's strategy, they returned to the capital with almost no casualties! This place is still fifty or sixty miles from the capital. If the carriage travels fast, it will take three or four hours, and if it travels slowly, it will take five or six hours!
The royal guards and Zhao Baoye's men traveled cautiously through the night, but they managed to get through the night safely!

When dawn broke, everyone was still in disbelief!
The carriage slowly entered the gates of the capital, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The guards escorted the Emperor and Xiao Jingxuan back to the palace, and Pei Yuanjun then led Qi Yunran and her two masters to the Prime Minister's residence.

The journey was bustling with activity, but Qi Yunran had no interest in watching. Her mind was still immersed in the nightmare she had experienced the previous day!
Just then, Shi An's startled cry suddenly came from outside!
A carriage came hurtling towards them from the opposite direction. Shi An couldn't dodge in time, and the two carriages collided. Qi Yunran's back slammed hard against the carriage wall!

Immediately, I felt a searing pain in my lower abdomen!

Clutching her stomach in pain, Qi Yunran crouched down. As soon as Pei Yuanjun regained his balance, he immediately pulled her into his arms!
Seeing her clutching her stomach in pain, my heart sank.

"My...stomach...hurts!"

"Don't be afraid, my wife, we're home!"

His voice trembled involuntarily! Seeing the bloodstains on Qi Yunran's pants, he panicked completely!

Pei Yuanjun suddenly remembered the bloody disaster that his wife's master had predicted before he left!
When he pressed him for an answer, he didn't tell him! He just looked at his wife with a complicated expression.

Why didn't he notice it at the time?
