Forced love, an inescapable fate

Chapter 158 The sky is high and the sea is vast, live a free life?

Kidnap Bai Yu by the way?

Are you serious?

Is this just a by-product?

Wanyue felt like she was hallucinating. She looked at Mu Qingli in disbelief, her mouth wide open in surprise.

Seeing her so shocked, Mu Qingli nodded affirmatively again.

"Wanyue, you heard me right. I said we should take Baiyu with us when we leave. That way, you won't have to separate, and I won't feel any uneasiness. The three of us will leave together, and from now on, we'll have a free and unfettered life. But Baiyu is Jiang Ci's man, and I know how important he is to him. Besides, you're both secret guards, so this is certainly not easy. But Baiyu listens to you. As long as you explain it clearly, he'll agree. Besides, being Jiang Ci's secret guard is too dangerous. It may be a bit selfish of me to say this, but Wanyue, I truly consider you and Baiyu friends. Besides, even if Jiang Ci succeeds in his bid for the throne and takes the position he desires, will he be safe? From what I understand, it's not just the First Prince vying for that position; the other princes are also eyeing it. His path is destined to be rocky. I can't interfere with his affairs, but as a friend, I just want you to live a safe life. I don't want you to experience those days on the edge of a knife again, and I don't want you and Baiyu to have any regrets for the rest of your lives because of me. I just want you to be safe."

After saying this, she looked at Wanyue with hope.

Wanyue's eyes were filled with emotion, but also with embarrassment.

It is true that she likes Bai Yu, but she also knows clearly the relationship between Bai Yu and Jiang Ci.

The friendship between them has probably already gone beyond that of an ordinary master and servant. After all, it was Bai Yu who protected him during those years in Qi State, risking his life.

So even if Bai Yu made a mistake later, he turned a blind eye.

If I tell Bai Yu about leaving, I'm afraid he may not go with me.

After all, his belief as a secret guard did not allow him to do so.

It was an accident at first and Jiang Ci did it on purpose, but for Bai Yu, I'm afraid it won't work.

Although he seems a little unreliable, he values ​​friendship more than anyone else.

Wanyue didn't want to refuse Mu Qingli's kindness, so she nodded slightly in the end.

"Princess, I understand your good intentions, and I will try. But if I leave, the most important thing is how to get through this hurdle with His Majesty, and your marriage to Doctor Su. He is a good man, and he likes you very much."

Mu Qingli naturally knew what Wanyue said. Precisely because he was a good man, she could not put him in danger because of herself and Jiang Ci.

He was just a weak doctor. How could he deal with the danger of being implicated in Jiang Ci's fight for the throne in the future because of their marriage?

After all, the imperial concubine's deliberate embarrassment to herself that day was an example.

Therefore, even if what I do will hurt him, it is better than causing him to be injured or even lose his life.

But before leaving, I must explain this matter to him clearly.

She made up her mind and would not waver.

He just asked Wanyue to quickly convert the valuables in the warehouse into silver bills and the like.

After all, money is the foundation of life.

Although she didn't care about the princess's identity, she cared a lot about her money.

......

Jiang Ci was trying his best to deal with Wu Chen's final desperate move. The letter written by Mu Qingli was finally successfully delivered to the hands of the imperial concubine in the cold palace.

Although she was sent to the cold palace, her food, clothing and other expenses were all taken care of. Except that she could not enter and leave at will, it was no different from her previous life in Yihua Palace.

Everyone in the palace knew about her previous ruthless tactics, and she had the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her.

So even though she was sent to the cold palace, she did not dare to neglect it, so her life was relatively comfortable. She was just worried about Jiang Xian who was confined to his mansion outside the palace.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few days, I finally received Wu Chen's letter.

After dismissing the palace maids beside her, she opened the letter written by Mu Qingli in the handwriting of Wu Chen.

The first half was normal, just like a caring greeting between ordinary siblings, but the difference in the second half made the imperial concubine's heart beat faster.

Mu Qingli is a woman, and she has read many picture books in recent years, so she has a perfect grasp of the scale of the writing in the letter.

As long as the two of them really have something that is not visible to others, it will be clear at a glance, but if others come to see, they will naturally not see anything unusual.

At this time, the imperial concubine looked at the letter in her hand with a blushing face and subconsciously covered her heart with her hands.

She didn't know how many years it had been since her heart had been beating so fast.

The last time, which was also the first time, was probably more than 30 years ago when Wu Chen told her that he liked her too. At that time, she was only 28 years old, the best time of her life.

As the adopted daughter of the Wu family, she was raised on a farm outside the city. When she was sixteen years old, she was finally taken back to the Wu Mansion, but she fell in love with her nominal brother Wu Chen at first sight.

But at that time, Wu Chen became a disciple of the Wen family, the best swordsman family. He only had eyes for his junior sister Wen Zhi, who was only good at wielding swords. How could he even look at his nominal sister?

Therefore, she could only suppress her love deep in her heart.

She stayed in the mansion quietly and did what an adopted daughter should do. At that time, she already knew that the reason the Wu family adopted her was to send her to the palace to win favor. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice.

However, when she originally thought that she and Wu Chen would be siblings for the rest of their lives, one night, the drunk Wu Chen mistook her for Wen Zhi.

Listening to him expressing his love through the window, she shed tears of sadness, because the woman he was talking about was not herself, but Wen Zhi, who was already married.

She imagined that the woman he was talking about was herself, so when he said "I love you", her heart was beating like a drum.

Then she opened the window, looked at his intoxicated face, and as if possessed, helped him into her room.

During that night of passion, she gave him her most precious side.

But when he woke up the next day, his face was full of disgust and shock.

He ignored her pleading, even when she said she was willing to be his concubine.

She still had the fortitude to send herself into the selection team, and used some tricks to help her pass the palace inspection smoothly.

Less than a month after entering the palace, she discovered that she was pregnant. At that time, she had not even seen the emperor, so it was obvious who the child was.

She told him the story in panic, but he told her that if she did not win his favor, she and her child would die.

Therefore, she tried every possible way and put in a lot of thought, and finally gained favor, and it was natural for her to keep the child.
