Chapter 564 The Connection

Du Mingxian could tolerate it at first, but when she saw Mo directly cut open her mistress's stomach with a knife, she couldn't bear it anymore. "The child is gone, our mission is complete."

Mo turned around, his eyes frighteningly red, and he seemed to be insane. "Get out!"

Du Mingxian turned and left. Given the current situation, there was nothing she could do even if she wanted to stop her.

Even if she were physically able, there wouldn't be any way for her to do anything with the guards around.

Screams echoed from inside, but the guards and Mo made no attempt to conceal them. Only when the screams subsided did Mo emerge with a broad smile.

"I never expected it to be a boy." After saying this, Mo glanced at Du Mingxian, turned around and left first, with the guards following closely behind.

Du Mingxian followed behind the two of them and heard Mo ask, "Where are the other mistresses of the Prince Ming? Where are their children?"

The secret guards always helped Miss Tian gather information. Because they served by her side all the time, some information had to pass through their hands, so they knew more.

"The house in the next alley, and the one behind it, are also like that."

Mo smiled and looked at the guards, "Let's go, let's go meet them."

"The young lady only said to deal with this unborn one, and didn't give any other instructions."

"Your young lady sent you here to deal with this unborn child simply to get revenge for me. Now I'm not satisfied with the outcome. I want to take care of the others too. Why can't I do that?"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can take you there, but you must explain it to the young lady yourself when we get back."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

"it is good."

The group headed toward the other two houses. Because Du Mingxian was heavily pregnant, Mo thought she was in the way and told her to wait at the alley entrance.

The guards didn't say anything and left with Mo.

Seeing an opportunity, Du Mingxian was about to secretly send a message to her people when... she immediately noticed something was wrong; someone was watching her.

She immediately went across the street and bought a bunch of candied fruit, then stood back at the alley entrance and continued eating.

Just then, an older woman came over with a young woman. The older woman was very talkative. "Madam, is the candied fruit you have in your hand delicious?"

"good."

"My wife is pregnant too, and lately she's been vomiting everything she eats, which is really worrying me. I was wondering if she experienced vomiting in the early stages, and if there are any ways to alleviate it?"

Du Mingxian turned her head and looked at the young woman. She recognized her at a glance as Chunfeng.

"I didn't throw up."

"That's good. Madam looks like she comes from a wealthy family. Why is she standing here all by herself?"

Du Mingxian shared some of the candied fruit with the two of them before explaining, "I am not the lady of a wealthy family. I am a maid in the courtyard of a young lady from a wealthy family. I was lucky enough to be transferred to serve the young lady."

"Miss instructed us to come out on business today. The person who came out with me went to do something else, so I can only wait here for now."

The old woman smiled and said, "You look great. Your young lady treats you very well. It's not that young ladies in ordinary families don't want pregnant women by their side. You're lucky."

"Well, I'm lucky. Miss cares a lot about the baby in my belly. But I'm a servant after all, so I have to take care of myself. Nothing serious, everything is fine."

The old woman gently patted her young daughter-in-law's hand. "You're lucky. It's just a bit hard to take care of people while you're pregnant. But my daughter-in-law is not like that. She used to work for a wealthy family, but as soon as they heard she was pregnant, they kicked her out immediately."

"Perhaps it was just bad luck."

"Does your young lady need any more attendants?"

"No, thank you." Du Mingxian's mind raced. She conveyed that she was currently serving Miss Tian, ​​that she was not in danger, and that she would take good care of herself.

But how could she subtly imply that Miss Tian and her group were remnants of the previous dynasty so that her own people would understand?

If Ling Silang were here, she could use coded language to communicate with him even without speaking. Now, all she can do is stare blankly.

"It's by chance that Miss kept me by her side, not because she was doing charity. If she could keep another one by her side, wouldn't that be the end of us?"

"Yes, yes, we were wrong."

“I’m destined to be with your daughter-in-law. I don’t want to eat this candied fruit anymore, so I’ll give it to her.” Du Mingxian said, placing the candied fruit directly into Chunfeng’s hand.

The old lady was quite embarrassed, saying, "I'm so sorry."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Let your sister keep it and eat it slowly. Maybe the candied fruit can even help relieve her morning sickness."

"Oh, thank you so much."

Watching the old woman leave with Chunfeng, Du Mingxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was in a state of high alert and tension every day, and her brain wasn't quite up to par anymore.

She had prepared the note in her online space the night before, thinking about finding an opportunity to send it out. Just now, she was only thinking about using words to convey the message, but how could it be as fast as sending a note?

The old woman took Chunfeng home. As soon as Chunfeng entered the house, she gave the old woman ten taels of silver, but she still warned her, "This matter must be kept secret, or you will be killed."

"Yes, yes, don't worry."

Chunfeng handed the bag of candied fruit to the old lady's daughter-in-law who was waiting inside the house, saying, "Here, have this. It was a gift from a kind person. Maybe it will really help relieve morning sickness."

"Thank you."

Chunfeng waited at the old lady's house for almost half an hour, and when she found nothing amiss, she quietly left. She then quietly returned to her lodgings, where someone was already waiting.

Chunfeng immediately entered the Crown Prince's room.

"Your Highness."

Did she give you any hints?

"Yes, Madam secretly slipped me a letter. Please take a look, Your Highness." Chunfeng handed over the letter.

The Crown Prince frowned upon seeing the letter. "In that kind of environment, for her to have a letter hidden on her person is too dangerous and shows a complete lack of caution."

If Du Mingxian just laughs when she hears this, then no one will be able to find what she's hiding.

Upon opening the letter and reading the brief message, the Crown Prince was shocked and stood up abruptly. It turned out that his investigation had been misguided, and he was still wondering who in the capital was the spy for the previous dynasty.

This person is hiding too well; you need someone who knows his whereabouts.

"Chunfeng, go back yourself and tell your master what's going on here, and also tell him about your wife's situation, so that if something really happens, he won't resent me."

"Yes."

The crown prince glanced at the letter again, feeling both relieved and speechless.

Fortunately, these people misunderstood that the child in Du Mingxian's belly was his, which could temporarily save the lives of the mother and child. It was unbelievable that such remnants of the previous dynasty could stir up trouble; it was truly astonishing how corrupt some officials of the Great Shun Dynasty were.

After they lost contact with the person, they were somewhat relieved when Hongguo's maid delivered a letter.
