Chapter 169
"Let go!" Chen Abao burst into tears from the pain.

"Let it go? Let it go so that you and His Royal Highness Si Wang will stay and fly together?" Princess Si sneered and winked at the maid beside her.

The maid understood, and hit Chen Abao's leg with the stick in her hand.

Unprepared, Chen Abao plopped and fell to his knees.

"You look so good-looking, why do you have to seduce someone else's husband?" Concubine Xi stretched out her index finger and stroked her face lightly.

"I..." She wanted to say no, but she couldn't say it, after all... she did.

"Hmph, are you speechless?" Princess Xi curled her lips, straightened up, and backed up a little bit, "Rush against my princess, hit me."

The maid on the side raised a wooden stick and hit her hard.

Chen Abao quickly curled up and covered his stomach tightly.

The wooden stick fell on her body, making a "bang".

"Eh..." Chen Abao snorted, and his eyes suddenly went dark.

"Continue to fight." After Wangfei finished speaking, she turned and prepared to leave.

"Let... let go of the child in my belly..."

"Let him be born and take possession of everything in the Wangfu?" The Princess looked at her, "I don't have a child yet! How can you, a bitch from the mountains, have one first!"

Chen Abao paused.

It seems that Wang said that only by putting the children under his name can they keep their mother and child safe.

She gritted her teeth, feeling the pain left by the wooden stick on her body.

Maybe she shouldn't be here.

She clutched her belly, her gaze gradually became firm.

Just when the maid was about to drop the stick again, Chen Abao suddenly grabbed the stick and swung it vigorously.

The wooden stick was thrown and rolled several times on the ground.

After all, she is a woman who has been working in the fields all year round, and her strength is not small at all.

"I want to leave here..." She turned around and walked out step by step.

"Miss Chen!" The guard went to stop her.

"Cough..." Wang Hao coughed twice from the side.

The guards looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.

It seems that the princess is here, so she has to save face.But if you really let people go, it seems that the king will definitely scold them to death.

"Let go..." Chen Abao pushed them away.

The guard refused.

"You are deaf, she told you to get out of the way." Princess Xi said in a sharp voice.

The attendant froze, not knowing what to do.

Chen Abao squeezed out sideways, and walked out step by step.

Looking at the back of Chen Abao leaving, it seemed that the princess covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "Follow me, I'll do it secretly."

The maid smiled slightly, turned and left.

……

"Anyway, it seems that His Royal Highness has worked hard on this dam."

The sea is calm and the water is steady.

Cheng Muqing stroked his hair, and heard Cao Da beside him say——

"Although the flood washed away the dam this time, fortunately, the foundation is still there, and it will not be difficult to rebuild it. That is, in terms of manpower... I have to ask the prince and concubine to find more people."

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded.

The plague has improved recently, and Zhen Chenggong said that the flood will not come for the time being, so Cheng Muqing directly brought the people back down the mountain.

Cui Huwei has been leading people to renovate the thatched cottage recently, and the house has been repaired in sevens and eights, and the people finally have a stable foothold.

When all the dust settled, Cheng Muqing decided to repair the dam.Today, I came here with several craftsmen including Cao Da to check the general condition of the dam.

These craftsmen are Cao Da's proud subordinates, and they are proficient in all aspects of water conservancy construction.

Everyone walked and chatted.

Cheng Muqing looked at the rolling river idly.

Suddenly saw a familiar cloak in the water.

The entire cloak floated on the water surface, and after a while, the water surface continued to ripple.

Cheng Muqing grasped the edge of the wall and leaned down.

She had good eyesight, and immediately saw a woman struggling in the water.

"Chen Abao?" Cheng Muqing gasped, before she had time to think, she jumped into the river!

The river was very fast, and Cheng Muqing tried his best to swim like Chen Abao, but encountered great resistance.

"Princess Qi!" Chen Abao stretched out his hand when he saw her, "Help! Help—"

Cheng Muqing was panting heavily, pushing the water wave with both hands, breathing constantly.

She came to Chen Abao's side and grabbed her wrist.

The two of them were placed in the vast river and sea, like a solitary boat, with nothing around them.

"Hold on..." Cheng Muqing panted, leading Chen Abao to find balance in the water.

There are already water-permeable attendants who have tied ropes and launched into the water.

They swam towards the two separately, led them to their sides, and hugged them.When the people on the shore saw it, they immediately pulled up the rope and pulled them ashore.

Several people were dropped in the air, rose up a little bit, and returned to the dam.

Chen Abao was tossed and collapsed to the ground, and passed out.

"Come here, lift up Miss Chen and send it to Dr. He." Cheng Muqing swayed.

Several attendants quickly set up Chen Abao and walked down the dam.

Several people hurried to He Qianyuan's place and put Chen Abao down.

"A thousand yuan, save someone." Cheng Muqing shouted loudly.

She cast a glance, and saw a puddle of blood on Chen Abao's body.

Even though he had never had any children, Cheng Muqing felt anxious for no reason.

"Isn't this Chen Abao?" He Qianyuan opened the tent door and frowned, "Why is she like this?"

"Don't worry about it, save people." Cheng Muqing said in a low voice.

Her voice was a little tight.

"Look at this...the child is lost." He Qianyuan clicked his tongue repeatedly, and asked the medicine boy behind him to bring him into the tent.

"His Royal Highness Qi Wang, this is the fruit we picked on the mountain, you can eat it with the princess," a woman stopped Lin Heng, and stuffed the straw frame in his hand.

Lin Heng showed a slight surprise on his face, and then returned the straw basket.

"I do not want."

"Prince, don't you want it, don't you want it?" The woman smiled, "The princess has never eaten very good food...We blamed you and Princess Qi before."

"What's the use of talking now?" Lin Heng frowned, and took a few steps back, "You pick it yourself, so keep it yourself."

"My lord, why do you have to be so alien to us?" Several women surrounded him with smiles all over their eyes, "We are the citizens of Da Jin, and there is absolutely no problem with us paying tribute to King Qi of Da Jin."

"Yes, my lord, accept it."

Everyone persuaded one after another.

"My lord, the common people are also kind." Ming Chen said beside him, "If the princess knows about it, she will be very happy."

Thinking of Cheng Muqing, Lin Heng pursed his lips and accepted it silently.

"My lord, I can see that you like the concubine very much." A woman said with a smile, "But you can't give everything blindly. You and the concubine should be equal."

Lin Heng blinked his eyes, and looked at her with some confusion.

But the woman just smiled and said nothing more.

……

As night approached, a gust of wind blew up on the ground.

The wind blew Cheng Muqing's clothes, she sat under the old tree, quietly looking at the sky.

"Qingqing."

When Cheng Muqing heard someone calling him, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, "Who is it~"

"It's me." Lin Heng knelt down and sat beside her silently.

"Heh~ who are you~" Cheng Muqing gently leaned his head on him.

"The person Cheng Muqing likes."

He said solemnly.

"Oh……"

"Why can't you cheer up?" Lin Heng pointed her face with his finger.

"I'm a little worried about Chen Abao." Cheng Muqing said, "I don't want her to lose her child too."

"It's good to be alive, children...is it so important?" Lin Heng was puzzled.

"I don't know... After all, I don't have a child yet." Cheng Muqing said, "But seeing Tao Yushan so sad, I felt a little sad for no reason. Chen Abao...she looks too similar to Tao Yushan..." Her eyes gradually changed, and she Sit up straight.

Why did she ignore it?
Chen Abao and Tao Yushan look similar...

The tent door was opened, He Qianyuan came out, she glanced at Cheng Muqing, shook her head, "I didn't keep the child."

Cheng Muqing gave a "hmm" and walked into the tent.

"Princess Qi, wait a moment, the tent has not been cleared yet." He Qianyuan stopped her.

"It's okay..." Cheng Muqing shook his head lightly, and continued to walk into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, there was a strong stench.

She frowned involuntarily and continued walking inside.

Chen Abao was placed on a straw mat.

Even though it was the scorching heat of July, her body was covered with a thick quilt.

Her little face was pale and bloodless, like a dead person.

"Princess Qi..." she murmured.

Her voice was soft and weak, like a gossamer.

"Chen Abao." Cheng Muqing sat beside her, "How do you feel now?"

"No..." Chen Abao bit his lip, "It's fine."

"Oh...then I have a few questions to ask you." Cheng Muqing asked, "How did you fall into the river?"

"Pushed."

"By whom?"

Chen Abao opened his mouth, his lips moved up and down, and finally said, "Like a princess."

"Why did she push you? Where have you been these few days?" Cheng Muqing's eyes flashed shrewdness.

"In..." Chen Abao subconsciously avoided her gaze, and was a little speechless.

As soon as her husband died, she became a concubine like a king.Although there are excusable circumstances, no one can say it out loud.

"It's Siwang." Cheng Muqing helped her out.

Chen Abao's body froze, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

"You are with King Si." Cheng Muqing continued, "After Zhang Fusheng died."

"I...I stayed with him for the sake of the child." Chen Abao looked excited, leaned forward slightly, and grabbed her sleeves with his thin hands, "Like Wang said, my husband and I are looking for your help. You I don't care about King Qi...my husband died, and I was saved by him. It seems that the king said that as long as he is here, my child and I will be safe..."

"You don't believe what he said, do you?" Cheng Muqing asked.

If you believe it, how can you say this to her, the person who indirectly killed her husband?

"I don't think the prince or princess is that kind of person."

Cheng Muqing pressed her back on the couch, "Your husband is indeed dead, but it wasn't because of the plague, but he was poisoned to death."

"Poison?" Chen Abao looked at her in disbelief, his already pale face was a little more pale.

"En." Cheng Muqing nodded, "And this poison is chronic. It's from the medicine you boiled for Zhang Fusheng day and night..."

Chen Abao looked at her, unable to say a word.

"That medicine was given to you by the king, right?" Cheng Muqing brought the conversation back to the topic, "Why did he give you the medicine? What happened to you before?"

"I... On that day, Fu Sheng and I were walking casually. Suddenly a group of people appeared... They injured Fu Sheng, thanks to the rescue... I... I didn't expect him to..."

Actually harmed Zhang Fusheng?

Harm took advantage of her to kill her only relative and lover in this world.

"As you said, how could the camp set up by the king be unsafe." Cheng Muqing continued, "Haven't you ever thought about why those people appeared?"

Chen Abao looked at her, "Princess...you mean..."

"Why didn't you ever think that those people were arranged by Lin Wei intentionally?"

"How come..." Chen Abao couldn't help swallowing, her face was full of disbelief.

"Why not?" Cheng Muqing continued, "You can ask the concubine to verify this matter. I believe she must know a lot...and she will be very willing to tell you."

Chen Abao's mind is in a mess now, her eyes are blank, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

What should be told, is almost told.

"Chen Abao, do you want to stay with me now, or return to Siwang's camp?" Cheng Muqing asked.

The air was quiet for a long time before Chen Abao's bright eyes slowly focused——

"I want to go back."

She wants to go back and find out the truth of the matter.

"If everything is as I guessed, what are you going to do?" Cheng Muqing asked.

If all these are made by the king.

She must kill him.

Killed like a king...

Seeing her decisive gaze, Cheng Muqing said, "You want to kill him?"

Chen Abao didn't return.

"Don't talk about the many guards beside him, let's say...you are alone with him. How can you kill him in your current state?" Cheng Muqing just discussed the matter, "You need to calm down."

"Then what should I do?" Chen Abao was puzzled.

"Leave everything to me, you just need to stay by his side." Cheng Muqing said.

"What do you want me to do?" Chen Abao frowned.

"Don't do anything, just stay by his side." Cheng Muqing smiled.

"Let me spy on him?" Chen Abao understood that she wanted to make herself her pawn.

Cheng Muqing's eyes softened, and she patted her hands, "Do you know why Lin Wei wants you so much?"

Chen Abao looked at her and shook his head.

"Because you look very similar to the Crown Princess." Cheng Muqing said, "The eyebrows and eyes are singled out, and they don't look alike. But when they are combined, they are very similar. If you stay by Lin Wei, he will never hurt you. ..."

"Crown Princess?" Chen Abao asked hesitantly.

"Yeah, Lin Wei has liked the Crown Princess since he was a child. It's a pity that the Crown Princess doesn't like him...Lin Wei has always liked flirting, I thought her feelings for the Crown Princess were just like that. But men, you can't get it, My heart is always itchy." Cheng Muqing smiled, "At first, I didn't pay attention. Until that Wanqing, and then you..."

"That looks like a princess?"

"She must be very jealous~" Cheng Muqing shrugged, "You can't tell, how can you know anything from her based on this."

Her voice was very low.

Chen Abao pursed his lips, his gaze gradually firmed up.

"Would you like to bring down Siwang with me?" Cheng Muqing tilted his head and asked with a smile.

"Okay." She agreed without hesitation.

"Well, let's plan a few codes first..."

"..."
