After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1208 The Great Escape
But it was Elder Qiong and the students...

The clerk instructed Master Qiong: "Master Qiong, things are in chaos both inside and outside now, so you must be extra careful... even with close relatives, you must be wary."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the students, scanning them one by one.

His eyes held the loving care and concern of an elder for a younger generation, but Zheng Qianjia and Lu Qian almost got angry at his gaze.

Feeling guilty, they thought the clerk knew something, so they gave him a warning look.

"Don't worry, the students are all protected by their own martial arts masters, it's hard for any villains to harm them." After giving the clerk a few more instructions, Old Qiong got up to take his leave.

After leaving the tent, he said to the soldiers guarding it, "The people inside the tent are members of the royal family. The Duke of Yan once told me that His Majesty's family was wiped out due to the cruelty of Emperor Ningkang, leaving him with no children. Therefore, His Majesty cherishes his relatives and intends to exonerate the princes. The case of the Prince of Ye is one of them."

"From this, it can be seen that His Majesty acknowledges this line of imperial relatives and has no intention of denying it."

The soldiers: "..." Old sir, what do you mean? Can you be more direct?
To put it bluntly, Qiong Lao was worried that Gu Chengyong would refuse to acknowledge Guan Shuli's status as the legitimate grandson of the Prince of Ye, citing the fact that the Prince of Ye had not yet been exonerated and reinstated in the ancestral temple, and would then send assassins to kill him.

Qiong Lao bowed to them and said, "I thank you all, soldiers of the Great Wei, for protecting His Majesty's family."

The soldiers understood this time and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't worry, Elder Qiong, if anything happens to any member of the royal family, we will certainly not survive either."

Both Commander Gu and Commander Shi had told them this in advance.

He also said that even if the ancient commander's uncle, the ancient capital commander, sent someone to take away the clerk, they should be stopped first and wait for the ancient commander to return to deal with it. Under no circumstances should anyone be allowed to take the clerk away.

Otherwise, even if Commander Gu were to die, there's no guarantee they'd survive; these lowly soldiers would almost certainly be silenced.

They valued their lives too, so they were willing to make a promise to Master Qiong. They even thought that if a high-ranking official sent someone to take away the grandson of the Prince of Ye, they would secretly send someone to inform Master Qiong so that he could bring the students over and fight with the official's men.

In short, everyone was fighting for their lives, and no one wanted to die in a fight between any two sides.

Such a death is not worth it at all, and it's shameful. It's far better to die on the battlefield.

"Thank you!" After bowing deeply to them in gratitude, Master Qiong led the students away.

When Guan, the clerk, heard the voices of the old man and the young soldiers, he felt a warmth in his heart, but more than that, he felt worry and self-blame.

It's already dark. I wonder if my second brother-in-law and eldest niece have picked up Sister Shu and the others yet.
Are Grandmother, Sister Shu, and Mother-in-law still able to handle it? Were they not frightened to the point of fainting or crying?

And what about Da Bao'er? Has he been crying or fussing?

……

His newborn son, Da Bao'er, only eighteen days old, didn't cry at all. He was being held by his maternal grandmother, surrounded and protected by his great-grandmother, mother, older cousin, and Granny Chen, among others. He was riding in a large carriage, following a large group, fleeing for his life in this direction overnight.

"Little cousin, what are you doing with your eyes wide open? Why aren't you going to sleep? Babies should sleep more. If you don't like to sleep, you're considered a loner, understand?" Qin Xiaomi said to the little guy in the swaddling clothes.

The little guy was born in early August and is only eighteen days old now. He can't see people clearly yet, but he can hear them.

Hearing her older cousin's voice, she turned her eyes in this direction and looked at Qin Xiaomi.

Madam Guan laughed and said, "Look at this boy, he's so clever. He knew it was his cousin speaking to him, and he responded immediately."

Grandma Qin smiled and said, "Our little darling is the most clever and intelligent."

“Little boy, little cousin, Da Bao’er… Little cousin, you never have a proper nickname. You need to come up with one soon, otherwise if we keep calling you that, your nickname will become Da Bao’er, which is not nice and is also tacky.” Qin Xiaomi still had time to worry about her little cousin’s nickname.

Because she spoke the most and her voice was clearer than the old lady's, her little cousin kept looking at her. Grandma Qin doted on her younger relatives the most, and quickly said, "Da Bao'er also has a very nice voice and is blessed. Our Da Bao'er doesn't listen to your cousin, she's just deliberately trying to upset our Da Bao'er."

Qin Xiaomi: "Look, look, if we keep calling her that, her nickname will really be Da Bao'er from now on."

This nickname is so tacky, you should change it quickly.

Unfortunately, the little guy was born at the wrong time. The adults were busy figuring out how to get into the city to escape the war, and now they were busy escaping for their lives. They didn't have time to think of a nickname for him.

I actually thought of a nickname for her beforehand, but...

"It's all my grandson's fault. He didn't like any of the nicknames we came up with, which delayed the important matter of my dear great-grandson's nickname." Old Madam Guan habitually blamed her grandson.

Qin Xiaomi felt that the clerk Guan was a bit wronged: "It's because you guys trusted Master Xun too much that you rejected all the names you had suggested before, saying that you should wait until this calamity is over before suggesting names again, so that five generations of peace can be guaranteed."

You are clearly the ones who are superstitious, yet you still criticize the clerk.

Old Madam Guan, Grandma Qin, including Aunt Qin and Granny Chen, all kept quiet about the matter.

After a while, Grandma Qin said, "Old Master Xun is no ordinary person; we should still show him respect."

Qin Xiaomi: "Old Xun is indeed worthy of our respect."

The old man provided many prescriptions, which helped General Liang; he also brought along Elder Qiong and a large number of students, giving the people of Wei a powerful patron.

These are all achievements.

But the old man was superstitious, saying that these were acts of merit, and that these acts of merit could protect his wife and children who had been dead for decades.

In short, the old man has been acting a bit crazy and eccentric lately.

"Auntie, you should go to sleep. If you feel unwell, say so immediately. Don't hold it in... Postpartum illnesses are caused by holding them in. You have to speak up so that you can get timely treatment and avoid developing postpartum illnesses." Qin Xiaomi took her aunt's pulse and gave her instructions.

"My aunt is fine. Granny Chen and the others check my diaper every day and say it's normal... I've even gained weight." With so many people around, Aunt Qin was a little shy about talking about this, so she changed the subject.

Qin Xiaomi: "What's there to be shy about? This is a serious discussion. It's good to be a little chubby. Giving birth, postpartum care, and breastfeeding are all physically demanding. How can you get through it without some extra weight? Besides, my aunt isn't chubby; she's a slightly plump beauty now."

"During postpartum confinement, be happy, relaxed, don't overthink, eat and drink well, and get plenty of sleep."

"Yes, Auntie will remember. Don't worry about Auntie." Aunt Qin smiled. She had to give Xiaomi instructions every other day, just in case she didn't take good care of herself during her postpartum period.

"Our little treasure is asleep." Grandma Qin looked at her baby grandson in the swaddling clothes with a loving smile on her face, and then whispered, "Alright, let's go to sleep too. Xiaomi is not allowed to get out of the car to patrol. We have Commander Ling and the others protecting us. You're just a little girl, so don't worry about security."

"Okay," Qin Xiaomi agreed.

But she was a light sleeper, waking up almost every half hour. Each time she woke up, she would first listen to the situation before asking Youyu and Xu Azheng, who were driving the carriage, "What's going on outside?"

Only after learning that nothing serious had happened did I go back to sleep.

This went on for a while, and before dawn, I was awakened by a wail.

"What's going on?!" Qin Xiaomi jumped up instantly, lifted the carriage curtain, and asked.

In the car behind, Aunt Qin also lifted the curtain and listened intently to what was happening.

"Don't worry, boss. It's not the enemy. It seems that some wounded refugees from Qianyang County didn't make it and died." Xu Azheng said, "Please wait a little longer. Uncle Miao and the others are keeping an eye on things. They will come to tell us the details soon."
