Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 785 Postscript, Xiao Ling's World (Twenty-three)

After returning home, Xu Huixin was extremely uneasy and her mind was in a state of confusion. She didn't know what to do.

Originally, she and Hengnian were husband and wife, and they loved each other so much. She should have told Song Xia about what he had come to her for, but she was really worried that the baby in her belly would not be able to grow up safely in the future.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Hengnian, but every step of Hengnian’s plan before was calculated by the royal family, and now Hengnian is not in an advantageous position, which makes her dare not risk her child’s future.

Xu Huixin touched her belly. She could die with Hengnian, but the child was not born yet and he was innocent.

"What are you thinking about?" Si Hengnian appeared silently behind Xu Huixin, and Xu Huixin was startled.

"Why are you silent? What if you scare the child?" She asked with a pale face and some blame.

"It's my fault." Si Hengnian hugged her, but his eyes darkened. "You haven't told me what you were thinking just now."

"I'm thinking about the baby in my belly, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

Si Hengnian was even more disappointed. He really wanted to tell Hui Xin that Hui Xin had a habit when she lied, which was blinking frequently and pursing her lips unnaturally. Why did Hui Xin hide the truth from herself after meeting Mrs. Song from the General's Mansion?
"Both boys and girls are fine, they are all our children."

"Yes, I just hope he can have a smooth life and not worry like us."

Si Hengnian was thinking about what Hui Xin meant by this. Could it be that Hui Xin regretted marrying him? Did she not want to leave the capital with him? Besides, he could not think of why Hui Xin would hide the fact that he was going to see Mrs. Song in the General's Mansion.

"With this king here, he will surely live a safe and smooth life. Not only that, he won't have to worry about everyone like we do in the future."

Xu Huixin bit her lip and asked, "Is this the only way we can go? What if we fail? What about the child?"

Si Hengnian frowned: "Huixin, don't you believe in my ability?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but will all the 200,000 soldiers you mentioned listen to you? Feng Shao is not bad, and now the eldest and second princes have also passed away. Otherwise, we should just live our lives well. As long as we don't make any mistakes, you will still be the honorable prince."

"Now it's not a question of whether we want to or not, but whether His Majesty can tolerate me. Hui Xin, have you forgotten what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion so quickly? Don't you want to avenge your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"I..." Xu Huixin's face was unbearable, "Of course I want to avenge my parents, but I don't want you and our future children to take risks."

"No, I know those 200,000 soldiers won't all listen to me, but I can convince Jing Country to cooperate with me. Jing Country's living environment is harsh. If I can succeed, I can give them a few cities."

"You want to sell out your country?" Xu Huixin couldn't help but exclaimed, "Once Jingguo occupies the city, what will happen to the people in the city?"

"I will negotiate terms with Jingguo, Huixin, you don't need to worry about it. Besides, these terms are only temporary. Once my foundation is solid, I will take it back."

Although Si Hengnian was confident, Xu Huixin knew that it would not be easy to implement even if she did not understand military affairs. First of all, why would Jingguo agree to your conditions? Even if they agreed, would they just pretend to agree and then have other plans? Would His Majesty watch this situation happen? It is not like our dynasty has no other military forces except these 200,000 soldiers. Finally, would Jingguo and His Majesty reach another agreement to encircle and suppress Hengnian in turn?

No matter what the result is, Xu Huixin feels that it is extremely dangerous and the chances of winning are slim. However, looking at Hengnian's appearance, he doesn't seem like someone who would listen to advice. Could it be that she can only agree to Mrs. Song's conditions?
"You have a good rest, we will set off the day after tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xu Huixin answered absentmindedly. Naturally, she didn't know that Si Hengnian had given orders after he returned that all her actions and words must be reported from then on, and all her orders must be carried out only after obtaining his promise. Of course, this was only said behind the scenes and Xu Huixin was not informed openly.

But Xu Huixin is not a fool. After a long time, she will find something wrong.

For example, the departure originally scheduled for the third day was changed to the next day, and the maid beside her had already packed all the things, as if she had known about it.

"Why is it so sudden?" Xu Huixin was hurriedly pulled into the carriage, feeling extremely anxious.

"We changed the plan temporarily because we were afraid of a spy." Si Hengnian held her hand, "Don't worry, most things have been arranged long ago, there won't be any problems."

"Hengnian, is there really no other choice?"

"Your Majesty forced me to do this, Hui Xin, you don't need to ask any more questions, just follow me and trust me."

Xu Huixin was nervous all the way, but she got out of the city gate smoothly in the carriage. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she gently opened the curtain and saw Madam Song looking at her with a smile in the crowd near the city wall.
Xu Huixin's face turned pale and her heart felt like it was about to jump out.

She knew that Madam Song knew everything, otherwise why would she appear here? And Hengnian seemed to have not noticed anything at all.

As expected, His Majesty knows exactly what Hengnian is going to do. Now releasing Hengnian might just be a legitimate reason to get rid of Hengnian!

"Hengnian, can we go back?" Xu Huixin held Si Hengnian's hand, "Aren't you wondering why we were able to leave the city so smoothly?"

"Of course it's because I have already arranged everything." Si Hengnian frowned and got out of the carriage and sat on the horse. "Don't be so suspicious anymore. Just trust me quietly."

"But..." Xu Huixin wanted to say something else, but Si Hengnian ignored her. He made the excuse that he had other things to deal with and rode his horse to the front of the team.

The group pretended to be a caravan. In the past, Xu Huixin would never have thought too much about it, but now, as she looked at the servants on guard, she felt a sense of abruptness. Which caravan was like this? No wonder everything was under the control of others.

At the city gate, Qi Jiejing, also known as Song Lingling, smiled at Song Xia and said, "Stepmother, you are right. Princess Xun has begun to waver. She doesn't need to do anything. As long as there is a rift between her and Si Hengnian, it will be beneficial to us. Love affairs always delay things the most. They love each other so much, it doesn't seem like Si Hengnian can give up on her completely."

Song Xia sighed softly: "It's not bad to talk about love, but you shouldn't just care about yourself and hurt others. It's a pity for the loyal guards and servants around them."

Song Lingling snorted softly: "It's not a pity. They are willing to work for the Duke of Xun. Didn't they take the benefits the Duke of Xun gave them? Don't they also want to get a taste of the enormous wealth?"

Song Xia nodded: "You are right, everything will go according to plan."
