Chapter 206 Please Follow Me Back
Jing Huaning stared at Li Yujiao for a long time, her expression changed from dazed to aggrieved, her little mouth pursed, and after holding it in for a long time, she finally burst into tears.
Once she started crying, she couldn't stop, and the tears flowed out like a flood.
Li Yujiao felt extremely distressed. She hugged Xiao Huaning and started crying too.
Little Huaning lay in Li Yujiao's arms, crying and saying, "Mom, Ning'er misses you."
"Mother misses Ning'er too."
Seeing the mother and daughter crying, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but shed tears.
Although little Huaning was well taken care of and was plump and fair, there had been no news from his mother in the palace during this period of time, and his father was rumored to be having an affair with a woman outside.
Fortunately, my wife is finally back now.
……
Since Li Yujiao came back, Xiao Huaning has been sticking to her. He wants Li Yujiao to accompany him when he eats, wants Li Yujiao to hold his hand when he goes to the toilet, and wants to sleep in Li Yujiao's arms.
Li Yujiao felt relaxed only after she fell asleep.
"Mom, where is dad?"
The next morning, Xiao Huaning asked.
When Li Yujiao thought of Jing Qishan, she felt a piercing pain in her heart again.
That bastard, a heartless man!
"Ning'er misses daddy?"
"I do!" Jing Huaning said without hesitation.
Li Yujiao didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She couldn't possibly tell her daughter that Jing Qishan had another woman outside. Not only would the little girl not understand, she would also be sad.
She wanted to take her daughter and run away, but her daughter was still young and it was impossible for her to live in the open with her.
Leave her daughter in the Shangshu Mansion? She was also worried that her daughter would be excluded after Jing Qishan married Dong Qiqi. After all, if you have a stepmother, you also have a stepfather.
Finally, she touched Ning'er's forehead and said gently, "Daddy has gone on a mission and will be back soon. Ning'er, please wait patiently."
Although children of this age do not understand many things, they will read the expressions of adults. As long as adults speak seriously, they will listen and believe them.
Jing Huaning crawled into Li Yujiao's arms again: "Mother, hug me."
……
A post station in the northwest.
Jing Qishan handed a letter to Dong Qiqi.
Dong Qiqi was surprised at first, then she held the letter tightly and clenched her fists with excitement.
Jing Qishan said: "Prime Minister Sun has been imprisoned in the Dali Temple. He will most likely not be able to get out. You don't have to worry about being forced. I can redeem you when you return to the capital."
Dong Qiqi quickly knelt down in front of Jing Qishan: "Thank you, sir."
"You are welcome."
"Sir, can I play another song for you?"
"Row."
Jing Qishan sat back on the couch, watching Dong Qiqi play "House of Flying Daggers".
As he listened, he suddenly thought of something.
He stood up immediately.
"Where are you going, sir?" Dong Qiqi asked.
"Wait for me at the post station!"
……
Jing Qishan has been wondering these days, where did the eldest prince go?
The eldest prince encountered robbers on the way, but he had found the robbers' traces. They said that they did not kill the eldest prince and that he had escaped.
Now that he has escaped, where will he hide?
After listening to the song played by Dong Qiqi today, he suddenly had an idea!
After leaving the post station, he led his men on horseback and galloped towards the border.
There is a market in the northwest, which is a no-man's land. It is a mixed crowd of good and bad people from all over the world. There is no law here, and only the fittest survive.
The eldest prince might hide here.
After Jing Qishan entered the market, he and his men disguised themselves as a group of Persians who came here to do business.
This market is as big as a small town, with all kinds of people in it. It belongs to a gray area, and the people inside are very vigilant. They will stare at anyone who comes.
Jing Qishan and others were carrying bags in their hands, pretending to ask where to buy jadeite. He had a batch of Persian jadeite on hand.
Then I started walking around inside.
There are men, women, young and old, in it, there are noodle shops, brothels, and inns, but the people inside are either numb or cruel.
"Do you know where to buy jadeite?" Jing Qishan went to ask a man who was selling peppercorns at a stall.
The man pointed ahead and said, "Maybe the old Jin pawnshop will accept it."
Jing Qishan immediately took people to ask.
The owner of this pawnshop didn't look like a local. He had a tumor on his face and looked ferocious.
Jing Qishan placed a hairpin in his hand in front of the shopkeeper, "Would you like to take this?"
The shopkeeper glanced at it and said, "Of course I'll take it."
Jing Qishan placed a jade pendant for a belt in front of the shopkeeper: "What about this one?"
"receive!"
Next came a jade pendant with words inlaid on it, "What about this one?"
"receive."
The shopkeeper said he would buy everything.
However, when Jing Qishan placed a yellow gem used to inlay his sleeves in front of the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper became suspicious and looked at the yellow gem carefully.
Jing Qishan caught the shopkeeper's gaze in time.
"Have you seen this jade?"
"No, I haven't seen it." The shopkeeper puffed out his chest, appearing to be justified.
Jing Qishan snorted coldly: "If you can tell me where the owner of this yellow gem is, I can give you all these things."
The shopkeeper showed a greedy look on his face, "This..."
Jing Qishan took out another golden ingot from his arms and said, "I can give you this too. If you don't tell me, I will take all of this back!"
"Don't!" The shopkeeper said, "I saw this man this morning. He seemed to have rented a house in the alley ahead."
Jing Qishan put down the gold ingots and then led his men into the alley.
The people they brought were distributed to several locations to prevent the people inside from escaping.
Then Jing Qishan went to knock on the door.
No one inside responded.
But Jing Qishan clearly saw that the light was on inside, so he simply kicked the door open and went in.
A figure suddenly climbed over the wall from inside.
But Jing Qishan's men had blocked all the roads, and as soon as the people inside came out, they were caught.
"Sir, come quickly!"
Jing Qishan quickly walked up to the man.
As their eyes met, Jing Qishan was certain that the person in front of him was the eldest prince!
He saluted quickly: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Jing Yuzhe stared at him angrily: "Haven't you become the Prime Minister's pawn?"
"Your Highness, I do not have any."
"I went outside to get information, and they all said that you were addicted to prostitutes, hanging out with some famous prostitutes, and had long since forgotten your duties. Don't think I don't know that Dong Qiqi is the prime minister's man."
Jing Qishan said: "Your Highness, please go back with me. You will understand when you meet Dong Qiqi. She can explain for me."
The eldest prince still looked at him doubtfully.
Jing Qishan said again: "Your Highness, His Majesty has regained consciousness, the Queen has been placed under house arrest, and the Prime Minister has been taken to the Dali Temple. Please go back with me, Your Highness."
Xiao Yuzhe thought for a long time before saying, "Now that I have fallen into your hands, I will do whatever you want!"
