In the following days, Chu Qing became the focus of protection.
As a doctor, Wuya thought he was careful enough.
However, Chu Zhan, Lvluo, and even Wei Zhi were more meticulous than him!
It was understandable for Chu Zhan and Lvluo, but unexpectedly, Wei Zhi, whom they always regarded as a tough - guy, seemed to have changed into a different person!
Asking about her well - being every day, he was so considerate that he was no longer the usually taciturn Wei Zhi!
The original two - day journey was unexpectedly stretched to the fourth day before they reached Qingzhou.
Chu Qing was quite helpless.
She really wanted to say, "You don't have to do this. I have experience."
But...
She could only think about it.
Seeing everyone like this, she buried the last option she had thought of deeply in her heart.
Even to Chu Zhan, who whole - heartedly cared about her, she didn't intend to say a single word more.
After all, she had already prepared for the worst.
That was...
If Wei Ying really rebelled and what happened before was just a play for him, she would not hesitate to abort the child.
Although it would be painful.
But this was the decision she had made after thinking about it for three nights. It was not an impulsive one.
She couldn't raise this child alone.
Although it might seem a bit selfish, there was no other way.
She was not a woman who would do anything for love.
"Princess?" Wuya saw that Chu Qing was in a daze and gently called out.
"What's the matter?" Chu Qing quickly came to her senses.
"Shall we enter the city?" Wuya asked.
Hearing this, Chu Qing looked up at the city of Qingzhou not far away. She was also in a dilemma.
If they entered the city, she didn't know how the people in the city would treat them.
After all, the news of the rebellion of the Prince of Ning had spread everywhere. Qingzhou, which was closest to Chuanzhou, couldn't have not received the news.
But if they didn't enter the city, they would have to camp in the wilderness tonight.
If it was before, Chu Qing wouldn't have cared.
But now she was pregnant. Although they had slowed down the journey for her in the past few days, she still felt a tightness in her abdomen.
Before getting a definite answer, she still had to protect the first child between her and Wei Ying.
"Well... How about..." At this time, Chu Zhan said somewhat shyly,
"Going to my villa? It's at the foot of Longshan Mountain not far from here. It should be safe there."
"Your villa?" Chu Qing raised her eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhan's eyes dodged a little, and he nodded.
Although Chu Qing noticed something strange about him, she still nodded in agreement.
So, the group changed their route and headed towards Longshan Mountain in the south of Qingzhou.
The journey wasn't long, and they arrived before it got dark.
When Chu Qing saw the so - called "villa" that Chu Zhan had mentioned, she looked at Chu Zhan in shock.
This was a villa???
She had thought it would be at most a large courtyard with several entrances, or at best, like the Chu family in the capital.
However, what appeared in front of her was far more than a simple courtyard!
It looked more like a gang's base!
Could her good brother be hiding from her that he was the leader of a gang?
"Do you have anything to tell me?" Chu Qing stared at Chu Zhan with a gloomy face and a killing intent.
Chu Zhan couldn't help but take a few steps back and waved his hands quickly, "No, no. I really have nothing to hide from you."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Then do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'villa'? There are your villas at the foot, on the hillside, and on the top of the mountain?" Chu Qing looked at him with a complicated expression.
She really thought that Chu Zhan might have occupied the mountain as a king because he was rich.
Hearing this, Chu Zhan scratched the back of his head and said, "Well... When I was here before, there were really only a few... places at the foot of the mountain. Later, they managed it by themselves. Who would have thought they would build it all the way to the top of the mountain? No wonder they asked for money so frequently sometimes!"
Wuya and the others didn't want to say a word.
They thought that Young Master Chu was showing off how rich he was.
Chu Qing just smiled helplessly. Her brother really gave her a lot of surprises.
"Go and knock on the door." Chu Qing waved her hand. She was really tired.
"I'll go!" Wei Sheng walked forward cheerfully.
After he knocked on the door for a long time, the door was slowly opened. A young servant poked his head out, sized up Chu Qing and the others, and then said, "What do you want?"
"We want to go in." Wei Sheng smiled, showing his white teeth.
The servant frowned and waved his hand, "Get out of here. You kids, are you here to mooch off our candied fruits at Fengyue Villa? I don't know what's going on these days. All kinds of people want to come to our Fengyue Villa! Do you really think we're running a charity?"
"All kinds of people?" Wei Sheng narrowed his eyes, but still kept smiling.
But those who knew him well were aware that Wei Sheng was about to kill someone.
Wuya quickly stepped forward to stop the ready - to - attack Wei Sheng and said to Chu Zhan in a hurry, "Young Master Chu, do you have any tokens?"
Chu Zhan, who was stopped, felt quite embarrassed. He coldly pushed the door open halfway and said, "Do you even want to stop me from entering?"
The servant had a look of disgust on his face at first, but when he saw the person clearly, his expression changed instantly.
"Villa... Villa Master? It's really the Villa Master! You're back!"
He was really blind. He didn't recognize their Villa Master just now!
But it couldn't be blamed on him. It had been almost two years since the Villa Master last came back. And he was new here, only having seen the portraits hanging in the villa roughly.
Chu Zhan snorted and said, "Why don't you let us in?"
After Chu Zhan finished speaking, the servant quickly opened the door wide and bowed to invite everyone in.
Chu Qing clicked her tongue and followed the others in.
When they reached the meeting hall of the villa, there was already a purple - dressed woman waiting.
Before Chu Qing and the others could say a word, the purple - dressed woman suddenly leaped forward, brandishing her sword with a murderous aura.
Wuya, Lvluo, Wei Sheng, and Wei Zhi all stood in front of Chu Qing in unison, leaving Chu Zhan standing alone on the side.
While feeling warm in her heart, Chu Qing's face also darkened.
However, the woman's target wasn't Chu Qing.
It was Chu Zhan.
The woman rushed straight towards Chu Zhan's vital point, but Chu Zhan just stood there without any reaction.
Chu Qing relaxed her defense and watched calmly.
Sure enough, the woman's sword stopped just an inch away from Chu Zhan.
"You don't even dodge." The woman said coldly.
"I know your character well." Chu Zhan said helplessly, but if you listened carefully, there was still a hint of... indulgence?
Indulgence?
Chu Qing raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them curiously.
There must be something going on between these two!
Sure enough, the woman snorted again, put away her sword, and said, "You're finally willing to come back."
"I'm more at ease with Ling'er here." Chu Zhan said with a smile.
Eww!!! Ling'er!
The Ling'er who gave the Xuanji Tower to Chu Zhan?!
This brat, Chu Zhan, still said there was nothing!
In her opinion, there was a long story between the two of them!
