Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 994: Chapter 994: The Insignificant Person_1

Gucheng was pulling Jiang Ning ready to go when Jiang Ning looked back and saw Taohua standing alone in the corner. Hurriedly, she asked, “Gucheng, are you tired?”

“I can take her with us,” Gucheng spoke little, but understood Jiang Ning very well.

Jiang Ning laughed, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. First, take her outside so she doesn’t get caught by the Brocade Guards.”

Gucheng nodded, pulled Jiang Ning with one hand and grabbed Taohua with the other, and leapt out.

Although the Brocade Guards could spot him, they were entirely unable to catch up with him.

Even when he was carrying two people.

Gucheng’s lightness skill could be described as unparalleled.

Following Jiang Ning’s request, he dropped off Taohua in an alleyway some distance away from the Liu’s house.

“Taohua, I still have other pressing matters now. You go find a place to hide first. When things calm down, go and find your mistress.”

“Thank you, Princess Consort for saving my life!”

Taohua knelt on the ground, bowing to her.

Jiang Ning helped her up, “Your mistress will be fine.”

Thinking for a moment, Jiang Ning took out a silver ingot from her bag and handed it to Taohua, “If you have nowhere to go, find an inn to stay temporarily. Don’t return to the mansion yet, it might not be safe there.”

“Thank you, Princess Consort.”

“So I’m going now.”

Jiang Ning followed Gucheng as he carried her away.

On the way, Gucheng said, “Seventh Miss, it’s unnecessary to waste time on someone insignificant.”

“Insignificant?” Jiang Ning shook her head, “In my heart, she might not be as important as you Gucheng, but she is not insignificant.”

Gucheng remained silent.

Jiang Ning planned to return to the palace first, but she was informed at the entrance of the Great Sheng gate that the Imperial City was in complete chaos.

The Crown Prince’s party and the Prince of Zhao’s party had started fighting.

The Prince of Zhao had five thousand men, while the Crown Prince only had about a thousand. In the situation where the Prince of Wutong was guarding the city gate and there were no external reinforcements, the Crown Prince was definitely no match for the Prince of Zhao.

If the Prince of Zhao killed the Crown Prince, the world would be his.

Jiang Ning felt a sense of urgency in her heart.

Her father Jiang Ruobai, the emperor’s eldest grandson Li Tingqian, and Wenzan Lingzi were all still in the palace.

Once the fighting started, in the frenzy, who would care about their identities?

Blind were the sword and blade.

Jiang Ning said to Gucheng, “Gucheng, let’s find a way into the palace. I want to be by the children’s side.”

“Seventh Miss, I think…” Gucheng, surprisingly, did not immediately obey her command, then said a long and fluent sentence, “Right now, you should go to the general’s residence first, vie for the support of the Prince of Wutong, so that the general can arrive in time to help.”

“What use would me going do…”

“It would be useful.”

“But I’m worried about the three kids.”

From afar, the cries of fighting and killings could be heard from within the Imperial City, and smoke and fire could be seen rising from a few places.

Despite the freezing weather, Jiang Ning was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Mother––”

A crisp childlike voice rang in Jiang Ning’s ears.

Jiang Ning looked up abruptly to see a carriage rushing towards her.

A small head peeked out from the window of the carriage, frantically waving at Jiang Ning.

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t that Lingzi?

Jiang Ning was both startled and overjoyed. She quickly went to greet them and realized that the man driving the carriage was none other than Lin Shimo!

That legendary headmaster of the Spring Autumn Academy.

Lin Shimo jumped off the carriage, Lingzi, Wenzan, and Xiaoqian all clambered out from the carriage, surrounded Jiang Ning, and chattered away.

Jiang Ning hugged Lingzi and enveloped Wenzan and Xiaoqian, her voice choked with joy, “How did you all manage to come out?”
