Chapter 111: Birth and Departure
Wan Xiaobao has woken up, just saw forsythia, is laughing, this child likes to laugh, no matter who comes to tease him, Wan Xiaobao will bend his eyes, let out a "giggle" laughter, people listen, only feel that the heart is going to melt.
Forsythia nodded his little nose, teasing the child while dressing the child, Wan Xiaobao is almost one year old, in addition to breast milk every day, but also to eat some rice porridge and noodle soup and other snacks, seeing forsythia teasing the child, the nurse went to the kitchen, planning to serve a bowl of freshly boiled rice porridge for the child.
The child's laughter was crisp, as if it could dispel all the haze, Forsythia's mind was on the child, and he didn't notice the footsteps behind him at all, Chu Yuan beside Ning raised a flower pot and smashed it towards the back of Forsythia's head, and heard a muffled sound, the flower pot was not broken, but the bottom was stained with blood, and Forsythia's eyes were black and fainted on the ground.
Chu Yuan saw Forsythia fall to the ground, hurriedly put down the flower pot, she looked towards the cradle, and saw Wan Xiaobao lying there, sucking his fingers with relish, seeing the strange Chu Yuan, Wan Xiaobao did not cry, only opened a pair of big black eyes to look at her, "babbling" in his mouth, stretched out his fleshy whirring arm, as if to let Chu Yuan hug again.
Chu Yuan was ruthless, and covered the sweat towel with sweat medicine on the child's mouth and nose in the morning, the child struggled and made a slight cry, Chu Yuan had to increase his strength until Wan Xiaobao stopped moving, Chu Yuan took back the sweat towel, and saw that the child was asleep, she picked up the child with her hands and feet, put it in the food basket she brought, and walked out of the house as if nothing happened.
Out of the door of the Moon Cave, Chu Yuan hurried his steps, and met the nurse who came back from the kitchen, Chu Yuan was silent, his footsteps did not stop, and his body turned in the garden, and he disappeared.
The nurse held the porridge, her eyes were full of doubts, and she looked in the direction where Chu Yuan left, and only muttered to herself in her mouth; "Sneaky, what are you doing with such a big food basket?"
After saying that, he put the matter behind him.
Chu Yuan's heart shook and stopped.
She looked back and saw Wen Minyi leading the maid and walking over from the verandah.
Seeing her, Chu Yuan's face turned pale and he stammered; "The slave has seen the princess"
Wen Minyi's eyes swept away, she had already seen that Chu Yuan was unsettled, her gaze swept over the food basket, slowly approached Chu Yuan, and asked in a low voice; "What's in this basket?"
Chu Yun was frightened, and only forced himself to return; "If you go back to the princess, it will be the death day of the young master Zi'an in a short time, and the eldest lady ordered me to prepare incense and candles and send them to Qixia Temple to pray for the young master."
"Really?" Wen Minyi frowned slightly, "Incense candles and dark coins, do you need such a big basket?" ”
"The princess and the slave are also acting on orders, please don't embarrass the slave and maid." Chu Yuan knew that Wen Minyi must have noticed something, she was flustered and scared, and there was already a bit of crying in her voice.
Seeing her like this, Wen Minyi was even more suspicious, she didn't say a word, she stepped forward and opened the corner of the food basket, and her face suddenly changed greatly.
Chu Yuan took two steps back, her body trembling, and she clenched the basket in her hand.
"Princess, spare the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are also helpless." Hatsukumo's eyes filled with tears.
Wen Minyi immediately restrained her expression, her face was already back to normal, she didn't look at Chu Yuan again, only left a sentence; "I'll just leave as if I didn't see you."
When Chu Yuan heard this, he was stunned at first, then shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he only hurriedly saluted Wen Minyi and ran towards the back door.
As soon as he came out of the back door, he saw that a carriage was already waiting there, Chu Yuan hurriedly got into the carriage, and the coachman immediately set up his horse, and the carriage galloped forward like an arrow from the string.
In the carriage, Ning's body was covered with a cloak, she didn't have time to say anything to Chu Yuan, she directly opened the food basket, and saw Wan Xiaobao sleeping soundly inside, revealing a fair and handsome face.
Seeing Chu Yuan's success, Ning smiled with satisfaction, her eyes stared at Wan Xiaobao without blinking, which made people shudder.
"Madam, when the slave came out, she happened to see Xiao Shizi's nurse, but I am afraid that this mansion already knows about Xiao Shizi's disappearance." Chu Yuan was terrified, and his voice trembled.
"Afraid of what?" Ning glanced at her disapprovingly and said; "Wanzhongshan is not in Jingshi, what can I do with that old woman and little hooves alone?"
"But there is still Princess Wen in the house, when the slave maid walked to the back door, she happened to meet her, she opened the food basket, and saw Xiao Shizi" Chu Yuan remembered Fang Cai's matter, and he still had palpitations when he said it.
"Did you see Wen Minyi?" Ning frowned slightly.
Chu Yuan nodded hurriedly.
"She saw the child and let you go?" Ning asked again.
Chu Yuan still nodded.
Ning sneered, her fingers were shaped like dead wood, slowly caressing Wan Xiaobao's delicate cheeks, and said lightly; "She wishes that this child could disappear from this world forever, and in that case, her nephew still has some hope to pass under the knee of Wanzhong Mountain, and she doesn't know how happy she will be when she sees you take this child away."
Chu Yuan listened to Ning's words, her heart was stunned, she was silent, her eyes couldn't help but look towards Wan Xiaobao, seeing that this child was still so young, and so snow-white and cute, she only couldn't bear to look at it, she opened her mouth cautiously, and asked Ning; "Big lady, what are you going to do with Xiao Shizi?"
Ning's body shook slightly, she looked at Wan Xiaobao for a long time, she didn't answer Chu Yuan's words, but stretched out her arm and took the child out of the food basket.
Wan Xiaobao is still asleep deeply, his forehead is full, his eyebrows are clear, his mouth is slightly pouted, that look, that look, is very much like her Zi'an, like Wan Zi'an when he was a child.
Ning Shi looked at the child intently, sniffing the frankincense on the child's body, as if she had returned to twenty years ago, when she also held her son in her arms like this, it was also such a milky fragrance, Ning sat there, tears fell suddenly, and fell on Wan Xiaobao's cheeks one by one.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yuan saw Ning's tears, and his heart couldn't help but be horrified.
Ning Shi shook her head, her voice was hoarse, and it was easy to spit out a sentence; "This kid really looks like my An'er."
Chu Yuan was taken aback, she looked at Wan Xiaobao's face, and really saw a little bit of Wan Zi'an's shadow from between the child's eyebrows.
"Madam, why don't we see that this kid looks like the young master, let's send him back."
"No!" Ning's face changed, and he immediately shouted at Chu Yuan; "Can't send it back! I tried my best to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and I was here for this day! I'm going to give that dog man and woman a taste of it! This heart-scratching taste! ”
"Then madam, are you going to kill Xiao Shizi?" Chu Yuan's hands and feet were cold, and looking at Ning's almost crazy face, it was easy to spit out this sentence in a trembling voice.
Ning's eyes moved, she looked at the child in her arms, looked at the little face that was so similar to her son's childhood, Ning's heart seemed to be pulled by something, she looked at the child for a long time before she said; "No, I'm not going to kill him."
Ning asked herself, when she first had the idea of stealing Wan Xiaobao from the palace in her heart, she did not hesitate to kill this child, she wanted Wan Chongshan and Qingzhou to lose this child, she wanted to make them miserable, let them and Wan Zi forgive their sins, and let them never think about it!
But when she looked at Wan Xiaobao and held the child in her arms, her heart softened, just the child's similar appearance to Wan Zi'an was enough to make her ruthless.
Hearing this, Chu Yuan just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Ning's voice sound again; "I won't kill him, but I won't let him go!"
"What are Madame's plans?" Chu Yuan's heart was raised again.
Ning held the child in one hand, lifted the curtain in the other, and commanded the coachman; "Take the trail and take me to the estuary dock."
The coachman was instructed to head for the dock.
"Ma'am, what are we going to do at the docks? Are we leaving Jingshi? Chu Yuan couldn't figure out Ning's intentions.
Ning shook her head slowly, she looked at the child in her arms, and said; "I'm going to sell this child."
"Ma'am?" Chu Yuan exclaimed.
"On the other side of the estuary, there are many people who abduct and sell children and women, and those people who get the goods, worried that the government will want them, will leave the capital overnight, I will send this evil seed to, who to sell it to, where it falls, it all depends on his creation."
Ning's voice was full of coldness, and after she finished speaking, her fingers touched Wan Xiaobao's face again, and she said word by word; "This boy will grow, and because of his face, I have done my best to him."
Chu Yuan looked at Ning's miserable white and gloomy face, only to feel a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Wan Mu's spirit is still not improving, after the light boat came, he took the medicine from the maid's hand, and personally fed Wan Mu to drink, not long after, Wen Minyi also rushed over, the light boat saw her, is to bow to her, Wen Minyi also replied a flat salute, her eyes slowly crossed the light boat's complexion, the face was still as calm as water, silent.
As Wen Minyi expected, it didn't take long for a panicked footsteps to come in from outside, and the nurse's crying was so clear that Qingzhou just heard it in his ears, his hand trembled, and a bowl of medicinal juice was spilled on the ground.
"Princess, the little prince is gone!" The nurse had no face, the six gods had no owner, and as soon as she saw the light boat, she knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried loudly.
