Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 188: Escape with the Child
Before the news of Concubine Shu's pregnancy reached Qingyu Pass, Ji Anyu went to apply eye drops to Kong Zichen.

"General Kong, thank you for your help. I have something to tell you. The loss of food and grass at Qingyu Pass is related to Wei Luoyan. The prince told me about this. I see that your prince is close to Wei Luoyan. I want to remind you that Wei Luoyan will definitely rebel."

Kong Zichen pursed his lips in displeasure, "Princess, you'd better not say anything without any evidence, so as not to bring yourself into trouble."

"If you don't believe it, then wait and see. It won't be long before news comes that Concubine Shu is pregnant. She can use the emperor to control the princes. Looking at the emperor's son, who is more suitable to control than the child in Concubine Shu's belly? The young boy ascends the throne, and Concubine Shu is in her prime. Isn't the court controlled by the Nanhou Mansion?"

Ji Anyu knew that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much, so he stopped talking and left Kong Zichen alone to think about it.

The next day, Zhusha did not find Shen Jing in the nearby river. He asked some people to continue searching down the river, while he went back to report to Ji Anyu.

Ji Anyu didn't hear any news from Shen Jing, and felt a little disappointed.

"Qingyu Pass is not safe. We should leave."

Ji Anyu was worried that Wei Luoyan was still determined to kill her. Although Shen Jing had almost killed all of Wei Luoyan's assassins, Wei Luoyan might find other forces to make a comeback.

Zhusha also wanted to find a safe place for the Crown Princess to nurture her pregnancy, so that he could devote himself to finding the Crown Prince. Otherwise, he would have to worry about the safety of the Crown Princess, and running back and forth would waste time.

They decided to leave early the next morning. Before Zhusha returned to the house to rest, he sent a message to Kong Zichen, asking him to get ready.

Kong Zichen nodded indifferently. He had been prepared and was about to leave, but because of Ji Anyu's "threat", he had to stay.

At night, a letter came from the spy planted by Kong Zichen in the capital.

Concubine Shu is indeed pregnant!

Kong Zichen began to believe Ji Anyu's words. If he told him that the person Wei Luoyan was going to rebel against was Shen Jing, he would believe it 80%. But he didn't understand Ji Anyu, so he didn't believe her from the beginning.

Because Ji Anyu was worried about his own safety, he got up at dawn, packed his things, and had a simple breakfast.

Others prepared dry food and put it on the carriage.

Qiao Xin got into the carriage with Ji Anyu, holding a jar of sour dates, and Qing Wu and Han Yan followed closely.

When the carriage reached a deserted place, a group of robbers suddenly appeared.

Kong Zichen frowned and ordered his men to drive the robbers away, but there were more and more robbers.

He felt something was wrong and took a closer look at the robbers. He found that their every move and gestures were like those of proper soldiers and he immediately thought of Wei Luoyan.

If Wei Luoyan has the intention of rebelling, killing him here is the best time.

"Zhusha, you, Prince Zhong's Mansion, take the Crown Prince's Consort away first!"

Zhusha also realized that something was wrong, and without saying a word, he signaled the people from Prince Zhong's mansion to leave.

Ji Anyu closed her eyes while soothing her stomach. The situation looked bad. She hoped she could escape this time.

Zhusha was riding in front and saw a group of assassins from afar. They were dressed exactly like the assassins he met when he just left the capital.

"Split into two groups! I'll fend off the assassins, and you take the Crown Prince's Consort away!"

In the carriage, Ji Anyu changed into men's clothes, carried a bag of dry food on his back, and looked at the maids with different expressions.

"Be careful and keep your daggers with you, just in case."

Qing Wu and others also changed into men's clothes and carried bags filled with dry food.

Ji Anyu looked at the assassins through the gap in the car window. They were indeed the same as the assassins sent by Wei Luoyan. She felt that Wei Luoyan was using heavy hands this time. It seemed that Wei Luoyan had hidden a lot of strength. The number of secret guards protecting her was decreasing.

Ji Anyu felt that the carriage was too conspicuous and decided to abandon it and run away.

When the carriage reached the corner, the driver stopped the carriage. Ji Anyu and the others quickly got off and ran into the dense jungle on the right, while the carriage continued to move forward.

At this time, there were only eight secret guards left around Ji Anyu.

Qing Wu was worried about Ji Anyu's belly and wanted to carry Ji Anyu on his back while running, but Ji Anyu felt that carrying her on his back would make them run slower and would be too conspicuous.

As the group of them circled around in the jungle, they found no assassin following them.

Ji Anyu had just breathed a sigh of relief when she looked up and saw a dozen men staring at them. Her alarm bells went off because judging by the way these men were dressed, they looked like real bandits!

Fortunately, the men's clothing they were wearing was coarse linen, their faces were covered with black moles, and all the valuables had been put away.

She said in a rough and hoarse voice, "There was a group of robbers in the jungle who were trying to steal money. We were afraid of getting into trouble, so we ran away and unfortunately ended up in your territory."

Ji Anyu looked at the secret guard holding the bloody sword, turned his head and smiled, revealing a mouthful of blackened teeth.

"Those robbers wanted to kill people, so we had to use swords to protect ourselves. I think you have more people, maybe you can compete with those robbers! You should go quickly, they are robbing a wealthy family. If you go too late, you will lose everything."

The bandits looked at each other in bewilderment. They were a little overwhelmed by this cargo that had been delivered to their doorstep out of nowhere.

"Hey, do you have any money? Give it all over!"

Ji Anyu nodded and bowed, "Hey, grandpas, it's already so late and you're still asking us for money. Don't waste time picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. It will be too late if you don't go now!"

"How do we know if you are cheating? Instead of talking about some wealthy family we haven't met, it would be better for you to hand over the money yourself. After all, seeing is believing."

Seeing that the bandits were not fooled, Ji Anyu slowly put her hands on her waist. Suddenly, she heard noisy footsteps behind her. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of the assassin out of the corner of her eye.

He shouted, "Ah, what did I say! The robbers are coming!"

Ji Anyu led his men and ran towards the bandits.

"Hurry up, they just robbed a wealthy family, and now that they see you, they probably want to occupy your mountain and steal your money."

The bandits were stunned for a moment when they saw Ji Anyu and others running behind them. After hearing what Ji Anyu said, they all stared at the assassin with red faces.

The group of assassins was equal to that of the bandits, and the assassins stared at Ji Anyu with murderous intent, including the bandits beside Ji Anyu. The assassins mistakenly thought that the bandits were Ji Anyu's helpers, and without saying a word, they drew their swords and rushed forward.

The bandits saw that the assassin was a stranger and was swinging his sword at them aggressively. Without hesitation, they thought that the assassin was here to steal their money and the mountain.

"Brothers, rush!"

Ji Anyu and others took advantage of the fact that the bandits and assassins were killing each other and quickly slipped away.

The bandits' martial arts were inferior to the assassins, so only three assassins died, while the entire bandits were wiped out.

Ji Anyu saw a wooden boat in front of her and ran over excitedly. As long as they got on the wooden boat, they could get rid of the assassin.

Unexpectedly, the assassins were faster than Ji Anyu had imagined. Before Ji Anyu and others got on the boat, the assassins ran to the front and blocked the way of Ji Anyu and others.

Ji Anyu cursed Wei Luoyan's ancestors inwardly and looked calmly at the assassins who surrounded them.
