After passing the city gate, the carriage temporarily rested at the border of Xicheng, and Chi Wan heard from the coachman that the crown princess had arranged a place for herself, but it was on the other side of Xicheng, and it was an ordinary farmhouse.

"This Xicheng is not comparable to the capital, it is four or five times larger than the capital, and it will take less than ten days to catch up." The groom seemed accustomed to such boring long distances, smoking dry tobacco and understatement.

But Chi Wan was not calm, listening to what the groom said, it meant that in the next ten days, her food, clothing, housing and transportation would be in this simple carriage, which made her feel bored and uninteresting.

So she took advantage of the current rest time to go to the surrounding area to buy some cheap old books, as a way to relieve her fatigue. Half of these books are medical books, and Ji Wan wants to take this opportunity to improve her medical skills.

The days that followed were as uneventful and peaceful as expected.

Chi Wan, who was tired of reading, raised her eyes and looked at the scenery outside, thinking that this Xicheng was not as prosperous as the capital, and its most prosperous place was not as good as the surrounding areas of the capital.

Moreover, Xicheng is mountainous here, and often after passing a village, it is very inconvenient to catch up with the mountain road for several hours to get to the next village.

On this day, when Chi Wan was resting in a teahouse with the groom, she suddenly heard a few unshaven uncles sitting next to her discussing, "Have you heard, the matter about the prince?" ”

"It's the prince's child, alas, I just heard that I was pregnant not long ago, but I didn't expect it to be gone so soon."

"This prince has not had a child for so long since he got married, it seems that he can't do it."

"What do you know, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! You know, this time she is pregnant with that little wife, if she is allowed to give birth, it will be terrible. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Alas, you can't say it, you can't say it......"

Chi Wan pricked up her ears curiously, but they didn't discuss it for long, and seeing that she was about to switch to the next topic, she hurriedly got up and asked, "A few masters, what is the matter with the prince's child you just mentioned?" ”

"That's what I said from Lao Wang, who came back from going to the capital to catch the goods," said one of the uncles, "and he heard that the child of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone." ”

"How could this good thing be gone?" Chi Wan was surprised, if it was really gone, it must be the child in Chi Xia's belly.

The uncle said: "I see that you must not know at a young age, how capable the women of those emperor's families are, this time it was conceived by the second wife of the prince, his eldest wife has never had news of a child since he was married for so long, if the second wife is born this time, wouldn't it be ......"

"Eh, let's stop here, we don't know what the truth is." A few big men then ignored Chi Wan and began to discuss other topics.

Chi Wan kept an eye on her, she listened to what she said just now, and guessed in her heart that it was really the crown princess who did it?

She returned to her place and took out a small waist bag, which was the coil left by the crown princess for herself, although it was not much, but it was not much, and I don't know how much was left after eating, drinking, and buying along the way.

Just as she was about to settle the score, she suddenly found that there was a letter inside, written on rice paper, so it was also very thin when folded, and it looked like any other coin.

She flipped through the letter, and it read: Chi Wan, I hate the prince so much that I even swore a poisonous oath that even if I go to hell in the future, I will kill every one of his children. So, the same is true of the child in Chi Xia's belly, perhaps, I am also helping you.

Chi Wan calmly closed the letter and continued to drink the coarse tea slowly.

She can understand the emotions of the crown princess, Chi Xia has done so many things to herself, and she will not hate the princess because she lost her child, let alone be ecstatic about it.

Chi Xia's heart did not fluctuate, after all, all this will have nothing to do with her in the future, she wants to completely draw a line with those disturbing lives, and leave no thoughts.

In the following days, in the midst of the broken carriage every night, Chi Wan woke up in a nightmare more than once.

She dreamed of the Prince's Mansion, where it was rainy and even lightning and thunder, and the terrifying atmosphere made Chi Wan's hairs stand on end.

She did not succeed in escaping from the prince's mansion, but still stayed in the small firewood room, hiding in the corner and shivering.

She heard the cry of the child, the screams of the child, and even the red blood donation all over her vision.

"Give me back my child!"

Chi Xia's terrible screams made Chi Wan wake up suddenly, and her thoughts returned to reality, back to this cramped carriage. With the sound of horses' hooves and the wind whistling in her ears, she couldn't help but shrink her neck and wrap her clothes tightly.

She didn't dare to look at the scenery outside, and her whole body shrunk into a small ball, her head resting on her knees in contemplation.

After all, that's a life...... She looked at her hands, and vaguely felt that she had killed the child. Although the cause of the child's death was mostly due to the hatred of the crown princess, it seems to be indirectly related to herself.

In the end, the life that went away with injustice is different from those who died naturally, the latter Chi Wan is not afraid at all, but the former is still mysterious, she plans to burn incense and worship the Buddha for this child after she has time to settle down, and it can be regarded as allowing herself to let go.

A few days later, after crossing one mountain after another, she finally arrived at the farmhouse arranged by the crown princess.

Looking at the whole village, it seems that this family is relatively wealthy, the house is built with two floors, and the fields in Fangshan are much wider than those of other families.

The landlord of this house is also very enthusiastic, and the old couple saw Chi Wan as if they saw their long-lost daughter, which made Chi Wan a little overwhelmed.

The old couple went to make delicious food, and even killed chickens and fish to welcome Chi Wan, and discussed to make her heart clothes, this feeling of relatives made Chi Wan feel familiar and unfamiliar, touched and warm.

Is this the life of my life? Comfortable and beautiful......

Of course not, on the first day of coming, Chi Wan was very peaceful, talking and laughing with the old couple, as if they were a family.

But in the evening, at midnight, Chi Wan lay on the bed and saw that the moon outside was already empty, thinking that the time was almost up, so she got up and started to work.

What is she going to do? Of course, she didn't want to rely on others to live, even if the old couple was very good to herself, but their purpose of being good to herself must not be pure.

She had seen in this house too many things that should not belong here, the bright gold bracelets in the old woman's hands, the fine porcelain, the jade pendants, which seemed like the collectibles that a peasant would have.

Where these things come from, it is not difficult to guess, naturally it is the crown princess. The crown princess gave them a reward, and they did good to themselves. And why did this princess arrange it like this, naturally it is still useful to keep it for herself.

Chi Wan knew that the crown princess was not stupid, she was a smart woman, she threw an olive branch to herself like this, and it was not impossible for her to resist her life in the future.

The hearts of people are sinister, and even more so for women who marry into the royal family, Chi Wan has deeply realized that she is being used wherever she goes.

But my fate is up to me, not to her, although I was forced to cross over here, but she can control her own destiny!

Leaving here is a complete departure! She didn't stop doing it and began to start her own escape plan.

Her room was on the second floor, and if she wanted to go downstairs and leave through the main entrance, she would definitely make a noise to attract the old couple, so the only breakthrough was the window.

She removed the covers, the sheets, and even some of the dresses that had been prepared for her in the closet, and tied them all together in long strips, and after a long time of work, a long cord of cloth was finished.

Ji Wan tugged each knot to make sure it wouldn't loosen, and then tied one end to the foot of the closet by the window in the room, and threw the other end out of the window, which happened to fall to the ground.

She strapped her bag and left nothing behind, just sliding down the strip of cloth and leaving quickly after a successful landing.

With the memory of when she came, she remembered that walking in the southeast direction was a lively area, which was the starting point of her own real, new life.

Stepping on the night, Chi Wan stepped on her own new life path. She had already calculated everything in her heart, she was destined to live an extraordinary life in this life, and she wanted to return to her old business - opening a store.

The rooster crowed loudly, Chi Wan walked for a long time, and unconsciously her legs were a little panicked, but there were still boundless fields around her, and she almost wondered if she was going in the wrong direction.

I don't know if it was God's favor or a coincidence, Chi Wan ran into an ox cart, and the young man who drove the ox cart was also very kind, seeing that Chi Wan was so tired when she was alone with a girl in the morning, she kindly asked her: "Little sister, where are you going, do you want me to give you a ride?" ”

Chi Wan felt the fatigue of her body and accepted this kindness in her heart, but she was also embarrassed to let the other party drive her directly to the city like this, so she said to him: "Can you take me to the next village to rest?" ”

"Are you sure you want to go to that village?" The young man driving the oxcart had a look of disbelief on his face, and Chi Wan didn't know what to expect, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going there." ”

"Well, it's not far away, you can come up." The young man's face had not been very good-looking, and Ji Wan couldn't understand why he started to have this expression as soon as he heard that he was going to the next village.

But it wasn't until she got to that place that she knew why the boy had such a frightened face.
