Chapter 88
After a few more days, they finally saw the road sign of Tianqin, and continued on their way without stopping, before the sun set, they found an inn to live in.

In order to arrive as quickly as possible, they agreed on a shortest road before coming.

And the place where they are staying now is said to be a slightly remote place in Tianqin.

Chu Lichen stood in front of the window on the second floor of the inn, looking at the scene below, it was already dusk, and the sky was dark.

With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open from the outside.

Chu Lichen withdrew his gaze from looking down, and looked at the person who came, it was Gu Ruyin.

The moment he saw Gu Ruyin, his body became tense, and his eyes gradually filled with despair.

"It's not that I'm uncomfortable, why don't you go to bed earlier." He walked to the side, took a book of cold tea and drank it all before asking.

"The concubine knows that the prince is not used to eating those dry food all the way, so I used the kitchen here to fry some dishes that the prince likes to eat."

Hearing this, not only was there no joy on the man's face, he was even extremely tired.

Sometimes he didn't know what to say, as if he was being pushed forward, and he didn't even have the chance to choose a side road.

But he was going forward, which was a dead end.

"Put it here, the king will use it later."

Sensing the slight stiffness in the surrounding atmosphere, Chu Lichen was stunned, and then exhaled softly, "After the meal, I will visit you again."

After getting what she wanted to hear, Gu Ruyin finally pursed her lips in satisfaction, her bright eyes curled up, and then she slowly backed out.

The servants who followed Gu Ruyin were originally the maids of the Gu family, but after Gu Ruyin insisted on entering the palace, Gu Ruzhen removed all the maids and mothers around her.

So now the people around her were assigned by Chu Lichen when she was the imperial concubine, but they were randomly assigned to her in the Shun'an Palace.

These people will naturally help Gu Ruyin climb up for their own wealth and glory, but the opinions they give are not necessarily for her benefit.

Otherwise, given her unstable fetal image and even less than three months old, it would be impossible to travel long distances and laboriously to come here.

Even if many government doctors followed and tried their best to recuperate her body, they couldn't stand her tormenting herself like this.

So in more than a month, she lost a lot of weight, and the clothes she wore when she came here looked a little baggy.

But she was very happy. She felt that her waist and limbs were soft, which could attract Chu Lichen's pity and love. After removing the heavy makeup on her face, her skin was pale.

Several government doctors didn't dare to tell her directly, if this torment continued, the child would definitely be lost.

They concealed the meaning in the words several times over and over again, and they didn't know whether the princess couldn't hear the words, or if they heard it and pretended not to know.

This made the government doctors feel very embarrassed. After all, they were in charge of the concubine's birth. If something happened, the prince and concubine would definitely blame them.

So several government doctors discussed for a long time, and finally decided to find a time to talk to Chu Lichen.

At this time, Chu Lichen walked to the window again and looked down.

In the time since Gu Ruyin came here, the people and things he saw from the window have undergone tremendous changes.

It was still an empty market just now, but at this moment, many vendors came here, set up small carts, and put out all the items to be sold in the carts, and many people came to see it after a while.

Such a scene was extremely rare and he had never seen it before.

There used to be a night market in Qingxuan, but only in the busiest capital city. The place next to it is very chaotic, and there are no guards to strictly guard it. Normally, no one would dare to go out at night.

For the past half a year, he has locked himself in the palace and will not go out easily, so until now, he has not really realized where the gap is.

If it was him, he probably wouldn't bother to open a night market, because he would need to send someone to maintain it, and he didn't want to spend such thought.

Furthermore, the absence of a night market will not affect life, so why bother.

But if you think about it carefully, what did he do during those years when he was emperor?Whether or not his existence is actually dispensable to the common people.

What Chu Lichen was thinking in his heart was reserved after all, because his existence was not dispensable, but rather a hindrance.

He can't be called stupid, at most he is incompetent and only knows how to enjoy himself.

But in troubled times, an incompetent monarch is enough to get in the way.

When the people were starving and starved to death on the streets, he would exclaim, why not eat minced meat.

He didn't understand why many people couldn't fill their stomachs, and he didn't understand why the people were dissatisfied with him. People always have to suffer. Can't you endure the hardship? Why did you say it?

Because the folks he knew were outlined for him by the officials in the court, not what he saw with his own eyes.

But according to his temperament, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would shrink himself into a shell, not daring or willing to believe the reality. As time passed, he gradually let himself indulge in the lies woven by the courtiers again.

A group of people rested in the inn for one night and one morning before continuing on their way.

I don't know if it was because Chu Lichen's company last night made Gu Ruyin feel good, so she rarely summoned two concubines to torture her.

The two concubines waited in fear for a while, but they didn't hear that they were asked to serve when the carriage stopped next time, and tears overflowed from the corners of their joyful eyes.

In order to prevent Gu Ruyin from noticing them, the two of them minimized their sense of presence afterwards, and even ate meals in the carriage. After getting out of the carriage with great difficulty, they watched Gu Ruyin standing beside Chu Lichen, and the two of them tiptoeed under the support of the mother-in-law Next go out.

The weather is getting warmer, Gu Ruyin has already put on a thin spring shirt.

The extremely high bun and the pearls and emeralds on her head make her even more petite. She has a pregnant body, and her waist is so soft that it seems that she can be held by one hand.

Chu Lichen hesitated to speak, recalled what the doctors had said, and finally lowered his eyes.

The moment he made a decision, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually hoped that Gu Ruyin could really toss this child away, so that the shackles on him would be lessened.

As a husband and father, when he learned that his child might disappear, he didn't feel sad, nor did he want to stop it, and even hoped to follow the trend.

Thinking of this, Chu Lichen curled his lips mockingly, leaned to one side and slowly closed his eyes.

If at that time, he had died for his country, how wonderful it would be, anyway, he could still get a good reputation.

But he is still afraid of death, he would rather live a life like a walking corpse every day than die with Qingxuan's face.
