Wuya noticed that Chu Qing had been silent all the way. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness... What's in the letter?"
Actually, he shouldn't have asked.
However, Chu Qing's expression was really strange.
Since Wuya had spoken, Wei Zhi and the others beside him also shifted their gazes over.
Chu Qing looked at them, then handed the letter she had been holding to Wuya, saying in a low voice, "All of you take a look."
Wuya took it blankly. Wei Sheng and Wei Zhi also gathered around.
After seeing them take the letter, Chu Qing kept an eye on their reactions.
When she saw their expressions change from blankness to shock and finally to complexity, Chu Qing finally let out a sigh of relief.
She was afraid...
From beginning to end, everyone in the Ning Prince's Mansion knew everything about Wei Ying, while she was the outsider.
Now it seemed that Wuya and the others should also know nothing.
Chu Qing trusted her judgment of people.
If Wuya and the others were just pretending, their expressions wouldn't be so complex.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness the Princess!"
The three of them spoke in unison.
Then Wuya continued, "Your Highness, the prince won't... rebel. I've known him for more than a decade. Although he has a deep mind, but... it's impossible..."
His originally very certain tone became a bit... wavering at the end.
Chu Qing sighed softly and said, "No matter what he has actually done, we are tied to him. So, now, we must find him and ask clearly what's going on. I also don't believe that he would really rebel."
If he really had such thoughts, at that time, he wouldn't have told her personally the fact that he was the adopted son of the Prince of Guangling.
If he was planning something, it would be the best choice to say nothing.
Chu Qing now deeply suspected that Wei Ying had been coerced by the other party.
It must be so.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing said firmly with a determined look in her eyes, "Since we've chosen to follow him, we must believe in him. I still can't believe that he really rebelled. So... we need to speed up. Only by finding him quickly can we know the truth of the matter."
Although she knew that he was still alive...
However, the current situation didn't seem to be much better.
Chu Qing didn't even want to think about what kind of choice she would have to make if this really happened.
...
In the following days, Chu Qing and the others traveled day and night. Just as they were about to reach Qingzhou, they were caught up by someone.
The person who came was actually Chu Zhan.
Looking at Chu Zhan's exhausted appearance, Chu Qing's nose felt sour.
Although she clearly knew that the person in front of her was younger than her, she still had a feeling of wanting to rely on him.
"Brother." Chu Qing spoke, but her voice was a bit trembling.
Seeing Chu Qing's appearance, Chu Zhan felt his heart being tightly tugged. Without thinking, he hugged Chu Qing into his arms.
At first, Chu Qing was stunned when being hugged. Then, the feelings that she had finally hidden burst out again, and she burst into tears.
Wuya and Wei Zhi both looked at her seriously. This was the first time they had ever seen Chu Qing lose control and cry like this.
They had thought that Chu Qing might not care about the Prince of Ning that much.
Now it seemed that they had underestimated Chu Qing's feelings for the Prince of Ning.
And Chu Qing just felt extremely aggrieved.
In her previous life, she had worked hard for her children. In the end, she was forced to make her family withdraw from the court. Later, when she finally figured it out and wanted to live a peaceful life, she was actually killed in a muddle. After her death, she couldn't even be at peace. She was bound to a rebirth system to do tasks. When she accepted the task and really fell in love with someone without any grudges, the other person suddenly rebelled? So, were all the tenderness and affection before all fake, and everything was just a lie to her?
Chu Qing had never cried so miserably before.
The grievances from her previous life and this life combined were really too much for her to bear.
Looking at Chu Qing crying heart - rendingly in his arms, Chu Zhan felt his heart bleeding.
Lvluo even cried loudly along with her mistress.
"Your Highness, don't cry anymore. If the prince really rebels, you can just follow him. In my opinion, the prince should be sincere to you. Otherwise, how could he be willing to hand us over to you?" Wei Sheng suddenly spoke inappropriately.
Hearing this, Chu Zhan gave him a cold look.
Wuya helplessly tugged at Wei Sheng's sleeve, signaling him not to say more.
After hearing Wei Sheng's words, Chu Qing's crying stopped for a moment, and then she cried even more fiercely.
If the Prince of Ning really rebelled, she...
How could she follow him so easily!
Although she was angry with the Yuan family, she couldn't really be so cold - blooded as to be their enemy.
Just as Chu Qing was crying, she suddenly felt a churning in her stomach. Then, she pushed Chu Zhan away and ran to the grass beside to vomit.
Lvluo followed in a panic and served her beside.
Chu Zhan stood there at a loss, while Wuya looked at Chu Qing's back while vomiting with a thoughtful look.
Could it be...
After Chu Qing finished vomiting, Wuya said in a somewhat low voice, "Your Highness, let me feel your pulse."
Chu Qing wasn't an innocent girl who knew nothing. She had already felt uneasy when she was vomiting. When Wuya asked, she already had an idea. Silently, she walked up to Wuya.
Chu Zhan asked with a worried face, "Little sister, did you eat something bad? When traveling, you must be careful not to eat anything casually."
Chu Qing looked up at Chu Zhan as if she had no strength and didn't want to speak.
After Wuya finished feeling her pulse, just by looking at Wuya's expression, Chu Qing already understood.
Wuya paused for a moment and finally said softly,
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
Before Chu Qing could respond, Chu Zhan frowned and said, "Congratulations? What kind of good news is this? My little sister has cried until she vomited, and you actually say congratulations! The people of the Prince of Ning are really ill - intentioned!"
Chu Qing: "???"
Crying until vomiting. It was really something Chu Zhan could come up with.
She really didn't know how that mysterious girl could be willing to hand over the Mysterious Mechanism Tower to this guy with such a brain.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing helplessly patted Chu Zhan's arm and said expressionlessly, "Why are you blaming others? I'm pregnant with the Prince of Ning's child. Isn't this... good news?"
"Isn't it just being pregnant with the Prince of Ning's... What! Pregnant with the Prince of Ning's child?!" Chu Zhan changed his lazy posture just now, and his expression immediately became solemn.
His precious younger sister was actually pregnant!
There was a little baby in her belly?
"How long has it been?" Chu Qing continued to ask calmly.
Although Wuya was a bit surprised by Chu Qing's calm expression, he still replied honestly, "Well, it's been about two months."
Two months?
A dark look flashed across Chu Qing's eyes.
This child really came at a bad time.
Not only did she have important matters to attend to and had to travel a long way, but she also didn't know what was going on with the child's father.
If... the Prince of Ning really rebelled...
Would she have to follow him with the child?
If not... would she raise the child by herself? The Chu family did have the ability, but Chu Qing didn't want to do this.
She wasn't someone who had never given birth to a child.
So she knew the pain of raising a child.
Especially being alone...
However...
Chu Qing didn't want to think anymore. If things developed in the worst - case scenario, she didn't only have these two options.
She could also choose...
The last one.
