Chapter 4, Escape from the Royal Palace

Yuqing felt that it was quite normal for her to be worried, but upon further reflection, she realized there was really nothing to be concerned about. To put it bluntly, she was just a useless person now

I couldn't help but gossip; he seems to care a lot about that beautiful lady's mother. I wonder what their relationship is.

Oh? Is there really such a thing? The young master Lan looked at Yuqing in his arms with a puzzled expression after hearing Ping'er.

Ping'er gently brought the jar to her lips, and after a moment of hesitation, Yuqing opened her mouth and took the bottle's mouth in. A warm, fragrant scent of milk filled her mouth and nose

Ping'er had just gotten off the carriage when a warm, gentle male voice sounded. There was a hint of urgency in his tone: "Miss Ping'er has arrived! Why have I not seen the princess?"

Hehe... very much like a princess... hehe..." The gentle voice shifted from an anxious tone, revealing a sense of bewilderment

The beautiful lady glanced at Yuqing and then at Ping'er, saying: "Ping'er, you know that I have to leave. I have already made arrangements. In a little while, you will exit through the back door. The guards at the west side gate will change shifts at a quarter past noon, so you should seize the opportunity to leave then. Once you are out of the Wang residence, there will be hidden guards from the Blue Garden to assist you. They will escort you away"

Yuqing's frail body could not withstand the continuous torment and had long since succumbed to a deep slumber.

She began to gulp down her food. The satisfied exclamation suggested that it had been a long time since she had eaten anything, and she couldn't help but think that being a baby wasn't such a bad thing. At least she didn't have to worry too much now

The princess's mother sighed and calmly said, "You all go ahead, I will also... also be leaving. I just have some matters to attend to, rest assured! There is no danger."

Ping'er, upon hearing her words, finally let out a sigh of relief, yet still appeared tense, filled with worry.

Having eaten and drunk to satisfaction, Yuqing found herself bored, looking around aimlessly. Unfortunately, all she could see were the dark curtains surrounding the train compartment, and nothing more.

Wang Yuqing, having listened to the words of the beautiful woman, seemed to finally realize her own situation at that moment. She glanced at the beautiful mother who was holding her, and then looked down at her own tiny body, which could not be any smaller. She finally believed in all of this.

Uh? This... is the young master? That Young Master Lan seems to have just noticed her

Ping'er, who originally had a smiling face, was immediately taken aback upon hearing these words. Looking at the beautiful mother, she hurriedly cried out: "Princess? You... you want me to take the young master away? Then... what about you?"

"Princess, what about you? Aren't you coming with us? I... I am worried about you. Moreover, you are alone; if they find out, you won't be able to leave. How about we wait for the prince to return? The prince loves you so much; he wouldn't hand you over." Ping'er said cautiously, her words filled with uncertainty and tinged with a hint of fear.

Yuqing looked at the man before her, dressed in white, immaculate and untainted. He had beautiful eyebrows, a handsome nose, and thin lips. Aside from the anxious expression in his eyes, he truly resembled a celestial being, a remarkably handsome man

The carriage traveled intermittently for over a month, and on this day, it finally came to a stop at a certain place. Yuqing speculated that this might be the Blue Garden her mother had mentioned! The days of hardship and jostling had finally come to an end. She was momentarily filled with joy

Handsome guy! Yuqing exclaimed! Could it really be that the mountains and waters nurture people? She and he stared at each other for a while. So good-looking, truly remarkable! Yuqing pouted, bored, and turned her head away, no longer looking at him

Upon seeing the childish behavior of the young lady Yuqing, the young master Lan smiled faintly and said, "I find the young lady quite normal! Isn't it good that she doesn't cry or make a fuss? I actually prefer it this way!"

Yuqing pretended not to understand what they were saying, squinting her eyes and playing with the white fabric of his clothing. Uh? Don't get me wrong! She is not taking the opportunity to flirt with the handsome guy, heaven knows! Her heart is so tense at this moment. It seems she is still far from meeting the standards of being a baby!

The princess's mother also nodded with tears in her eyes, tightly embracing Yuqing once before reluctantly handing her over to Ping'er. By now, Yuqing had somewhat understood the situation, and her eyes involuntarily turned red. It seems that this princess's mother must also be living a life beyond her control

Yuqing dozed off in a daze, and when she woke up amidst a cacophony of sounds, she realized she was already sitting in a carriage. She breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed she had left that so-called royal mansion, and it could be assumed that she was now safe

Ping'er was already in tears, choked with emotion as she said: "Princess, your great kindness to Ping'er is such that even if I were to face boiling water or walk through fire, I would find it difficult to repay even a fraction. You can rest assured that I will take care of the young master!"

Hehe... what an interesting little master! When Young Master Lan saw Yuqing ignoring him, he was not angry but rather pleased, breaking into a joyful laugh, completely losing the elegant, fairy-like demeanor he had when they first met. Yuqing felt quite frustrated.

Ping'er was also taken aback, and then nodded firmly: "Princess, you can rest assured! Since you trust Ping'er, I will definitely ensure the young master arrives safely. Even if I am no longer here, I will make sure the young master is well taken care of."

She was lost in thought in YY when Ping'er said with a hint of excitement: "Young Master Lan, the princess still has some matters to attend to, so let me and the young master come here first. Here! This is the young master!"

He somewhat awkwardly took Yuqing from Ping'er’s arms, looking at her again and again, with a hint of a smile in the corners of his eyes and brows

Do you regret it? She can confidently tell herself that she does not regret it, even though the conditions here are not as good as those there, but she truly does not regret it

Ping'er and Young Master Lan were discussing something about the princess, the prince, and the royal residence, but Yuqing had no interest in listening, so she dozed off again

However, at such a young age, she already bears a face full of worry, and Yuqing is genuinely concerned that she might age prematurely! Yet, that is not something she can afford to worry about at the moment

Yuqing's gaze remained fixed on the person sitting on the bed, a beauty who appeared frail on the outside yet possessed a strong spirit within. At that moment, she truly feared that she would never see her again.

The Blue Garden is situated deep within the mountains, similar to most of the hidden forces' strongholds that she envisions. Well! This may not be entirely accurate, but this is what comes to my mind.

Ping'er sat holding her, her face full of sorrow. Yuqing looked at her, thinking that she must be worried about her beautiful mother.

What kind of mindset did she have when she left? That distant twenty-first century is not just a matter of being worlds apart, but rather a difference of a thousand years!

As Ping'er held back her tears and was about to take Yuqing away, the beautiful lady's mother seemed to recall something, her voice anxiously coming from behind, "Wait... Ping'er, if I have not come to find you within a year, perhaps the Blue Garden has also been exposed. Then you should take Yu'er away from the Blue Garden to live an ordinary life. You tell her that from now on, she should decide her own life. I only wish for my child to be safe."

She looked at her beautiful mother, her lips trembling slightly. Knowing that saying anything at this moment would be futile, she nodded vigorously. After glancing at her mother, she steeled her resolve and, gritting her teeth and crying, ran out with Yuqing.

Yuqing was held by Ping'er, turning left and right. Before she could properly observe the place of her birth, Ping'er had already taken her out of what seemed to be the royal residence.

"No, this is not good. I cannot risk my daughter's life, even if the danger is only one in ten thousand," she said resolutely, her expression firm. Rainqing felt a surge of emotion in her heart upon hearing this. This is her mother in this lifetime! Her delicate exterior loves her child even more than herself

Ping'er saw her wake up and quickly found a jar from the handle beside the carriage. Yuqing looked at the jar, unsure of what it contained

Upon hearing this, Ping'er, whose complexion was already not very good, instantly turned pale.

Ping'er held her with one hand while gently opening the bottle cap with the other. Yuqing caught a whiff of a milky scent. Suddenly, she felt hungry.

She is also unclear whether this place and that place exist in the same space-time or in different space-times. For now, she can only accept the situation as it is. It is futile for her to think too much about it

The infant's body is incapable of doing anything; she wishes to find something to occupy herself with, or perhaps look at a book if there is one available. However, upon glancing at Ping'er, she dismissed this thought. If she were to truly read a book, it would be strange if Ping'er did not regard her as a monster.

Ping'er looked at the little one in her arms, who was neither crying nor making a fuss. The chubby little face was quite adorable. She affectionately stroked the child's forehead, and tears flowed out involuntarily.

She was being held by a man. Although she is a baby who cannot even speak, her mental age is 28! Overall, it is still quite awkward.

Perhaps it can be said that she is weak! It does not matter how, she chooses to escape. Time is the remedy for healing, and she believes in books! She believes deeply! Just as she took ten years to fall in love with Leng Yan, she can also take another ten years, or even longer, to forget him

It seems that her mother is not an ordinary person! Of course, as a princess of a nation, she must be extraordinary, but it remains unclear which country she is a princess of.

They are chatting and laughing, while Yuqing is feeling quite down. What is going on here? Hurry up and take her away! If I am not mistaken, this is at the entrance, right

The princess's mother nodded with relief and said: "Let's leave now! Time is running out. At most, it will take me a year, and at least a few months. I will definitely hurry to meet you all. During this time, Yuer, I will have to trouble you."

"Ah! It is the young master!" Ping'er said

The beautiful woman looked at her gently, then turned to Ping'er, who had been standing at the foot of the bed watching them, and said: "Ping'er, you... you take Yu'er away!"

Yet she could only protest silently, glaring at the young man in blue who was holding him, hoping he would understand. Finally, not disappointing her expectations, they began to move, walking towards the door

Unconsciously, my thoughts drifted back to my past life; given the current situation, it should indeed be referred to as a past life! ... Those distant parents, that stubborn yet soft-hearted little shadow, her newly launched company, and Leng Yan...

Upon hearing his words and observing Yuqing's expression, Ping'er also relaxed and smiled, saying: "Indeed! Listening to Young Master Lan, that seems to be the case! Perhaps I was too tense! That's why everything seemed off to me."

Ping'er looked at him and said, "Indeed! Young Master Lan, you may not know this! Since birth, the young master has not cried or made a fuss, and is quite sensible. Sometimes I even doubt whether I am holding a newborn child! Don't you think this is strange?"
