Chapter 259 Departure
Chapter 259 Departure
Liao Xinyi's fingertips rested on Su Nuan's wrist for a long time, and her brows became more and more furrowed.
Su Nuan was a little scared. Liao Xinyi's face was always calm and composed, but this was the first time she saw such a serious expression on her face.
Were the bees from yesterday highly poisonous, or were the drugs Xun Zheng used to knock people out?
After a long while, Liao Xinyi looked up and said to Mu Yunting, "She is not pregnant!"
"Really? Why don't you take a closer look?"
"Fortunately there isn't one. If there was, we wouldn't be able to keep the child."
"Why?" Mu Yunting asked nervously.
"She took the medicine I prepared for her leg injury a few days ago. That medicine is harmful to the fetus. If she really is pregnant, I will advise her to abort the child."
"Well, it's better not to be pregnant."
Mu Yunting could not hide his disappointment.
Liao Xinyi continued, "I understand your desire to have a child, but now is not a good time for her to get pregnant. She has suffered many injuries these days, and needs some time to recuperate. If she gets pregnant and has a child without proper recuperation, it will damage her foundation, and it will be difficult for her to recover in the future."
"Then let Dr. Lao Liao treat her."
It took Su Nuan a long time to realize what was going on.
No wonder Mu Yunting had been acting strangely since yesterday; it turned out he thought she was pregnant.
Does this man have no common sense at all? How could she be pregnant less than half a month after consummating the marriage?
But this behavior is still cute, at least it shows that he is looking forward to having a child with himself.
"You are not pregnant, do you still need me to go with you?"
Liao Xinyi turned around and asked Su Nuan.
"Since you are planning to go with me, don't worry about whether I am pregnant or not. Besides, there is a seriously injured person in our team, and I will feel more at ease with you by my side. I will introduce someone to you when we return to the Imperial City."
Su Nuan really wanted to match Liao Xinyi with her third brother Xia Changze. Compared with the noble ladies in the imperial city, Liao Xinyi was definitely a good match.
And if Xia Changze could keep the person, it would be much easier for her to see this friend in the future.
Under Su Nuan's persuasion, Liao Xinyi agreed to go back to the imperial city with her.
Mu Yunting got off the car to check the team's preparations, leaving Su Nuan and Liao Xinyi a chance to talk alone.
"You lied about military intelligence."
As soon as Mu Yunting left, Liao Xinyi said this.
"I feel a little wronged. Now I don't know why he misunderstood that I was pregnant."
"Anyway, I can tell that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very worried about you. Yesterday, he personally came to the clinic to find me and told me that you were pregnant. He asked me to go with you and even promised me a bunch of precious medicinal herbs."
"So you're here for his medicinal herbs?"
"Not entirely. I'm just curious. I took your pulse the day before and it didn't show any sign of pregnancy. How come you're pregnant overnight?"
After saying this, Liao Xinyi covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"I'm curious too!" Su Nuan said helplessly.
The two laughed for a while, and Liao Xinyi said seriously, "Just joking, but what I just said about your body not being suitable for pregnancy is true. Your body needs to be adjusted. From today on, I will make you a bowl of tonic medicine every night."
Su Nuan frowned upon hearing this. She was most afraid of taking medicine. "I'm not planning on having a child yet, so I don't need to take the tonic."
"In my opinion, whether or not to have a child is not up to you alone. You should just take good care of your body. If the child comes, you can't abort it."
Su Nuan shook her head. Now was indeed not a good time to have a child. Not only did her body need to be nursed back to health, but Xun Zheng was also eyeing her covetously in the dark. That woman was ruthless and determined to get Mu Yunting. She would definitely not tolerate her giving birth to Mu Yunting's child, so if she wanted a child, she had to solve this problem first.
"Well, I heard there is contraceptive soup. How about you get me a room?"
Su Nuan's voice was very low, but it could not be hidden from the falcon on the other side of the curtain.
Falcon struggled silently in his heart, wondering whether he should tell the Crown Prince that Concubine Xia wanted to drink the contraceptive soup.
When Mu Yunting appeared in the carriage again, Liao Xinyi had already gotten into another carriage.
The team started slowly.
Two people suddenly rushed out from the gate of the villa and stopped the convoy. They were Yu Moling and Mei Changli.
Su Nuan lifted the car curtain and sighed softly when she saw the two of them.
"Your Highness, please release those two."
"No."
"Why? I'm not seriously injured."
"If I don't punish them severely for hurting you, what will happen if others follow suit?"
Su Nuan was in a good mood after hearing this. It turned out that Mu Yunting held on to these two people for her sake. She said no more. Mu Yunting was doing this for her. If she ran out and did a good thing at this time, wouldn't she put Mu Yunting in a position where he would be hated?
Mu Yunting, sitting in the carriage, said loudly to the two people kneeling outside: "If you two adults are here to see me off, then there is no need, but if you are here to plead for the murderer who hurt Concubine Xia, then please go back."
His tone was light but revealed a sense of oppression. Yu Moling and Mei Changli shrank at the same time, and then they were dragged to the side of the road by the secret guards.
The road was cleared and the carriage moved forward again.
After walking a few blocks, I saw a fight happening in the teahouse in front.
How could such a thing happen while the prince was traveling? Guards came forward from a distance to clear the area.
Su Nuan lifted the curtain to watch the excitement, and happened to see a guard carrying a man and throwing him out.
The man whose face was bruised and swollen from being beaten was none other than Su Qingmo, the man she had talked to.
"stop."
Su Nuan spoke out to stop him.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards her.
"Bring that man here. I have something to ask."
Su Nuan pointed at the guard and said.
The guards received the order and quickly brought Su Qingmo to Su Nuan.
As soon as the two met, Su Qingmo knelt down in front of Su Nuan and said, "Sir, help me!"
Not far away, the big men who had just beaten someone were hiding in the crowd and whispering.
"What should we do? We're going to let this bastard escape today."
"What are you afraid of? That noble man saved him once, so how can he keep him by his side? Once he leaves, we will go and kill that bastard."
"Boss, why do I feel like that noble man is looking at us?"
"It's probably the bastards who betrayed us. Run."
Su Nuan didn't know what grudge these people had against Su Qingmo, but when she heard them say they wanted to beat him to death, she knew the matter was serious. She didn't dare to abandon Su Qingmo, so she said to Mu Yunting, "It was this man who told me that the Qingfeng Gorge outside the city was beautiful and encouraged me to go there. I suspect he and those two colluded to deliberately lead me there."
Mu Yunting's face immediately darkened, and he ordered his men to tie the man up and put him at the back of the team.
Su Qingmo looked at Su Nuan in disbelief. It would be better to be beaten up by those guys. There would always be a chance to escape. How could he escape now that he was being escorted by soldiers?
A bag of tears rolled around in Su Qingmo's eyes, and he looked at Su Nuan's back in the carriage with extreme resentment.
