Chapter 324 The Unplanned Departure

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In the spring of March, the breeze blew.

Jun Yeyan had left peach blossom mountain and went to the battlefield for a long time.

He planned to leave after the baby was one-month-old, but the news from the border was urgent, saying that Qi Liange was probably anxious and was ready for the finish fight.

The soldiers may not lose even if Jun Yeyan was not with them, but if Jun Yeyan had been there, the meaning would have been totally different.

Although Jun Yeyan did not want to leave, Bai Aoxue urged him. Besides, the baby seemed not to like his father so much.

Now even Li Xiao and others could hold the baby for a while, but Jun Yeyan still couldn’t. As long as Jun Yeyan took him over, the little crown prince would cry and make a lot of noise and would be lovable only when he returned to Bai Aoxue’s arms.

Bai Aoxue had no way to deal with this situation.

Not to mention Jun Yeyan. If the baby had not been so small, Jun Yeyan would have had the idea that threw him into purgatory for exercise.

The little crown prince, who was with Bai Aoxue, always spoiled his good mood, making him extremely difficult to get a kiss from his wife.

Jun Yeyan couldn’t bear it, but now there was no way for him to handle the little baby.

Of course, according to Jun Yeyan’s vindictive character, when the little crown prince grew up, he would certainly suffer some hardships.

The peach blossoms outside the window blocked out the sun one after another, which made the whole peach blossom mountain well-deserved at the moment.

The little crown prince’s small fist tightly clutched his mother’s clothing. His phoenix-like eyes rolled quickly, with some inherent proud senses.

After resting in peach blossom mountain for so long, Bai Aoxue’s had almost recovered. If it had not been for the fact that the little crown prince was still too young, Bai Aoxue would have gone to the frontier to look for Jun Yeyan.

Before the child was born, she thought it might go through ups and downs, and she was so weak that she might have an accident when giving birth to the child, so she didn’t want to be around Jun Yeyan and distract him all the time.

But she didn’t think that although she was tortured for a long time when giving birth to the baby, it ended well eventually. Now she and her child were all healthy and safe, so naturally, she had the mind to find Jun Yeyan.

But she didn’t want to take the child all the way since the child was too young and fragile to stand any turbulence.

She would wait until the child was one-year-old before she took him to find Jun Yeyan.

She thought like this, but when the summer just slipped away, and the little crown prince just learned to crawl and roll, Bai Aoxue received an urgent letter from the frontier.

The little crown prince crawled on the carpet with a small wood blade made by Li Xiao in his hand. He babbled and cried out, and his lotus-root-like tender white hands waved, which looked very cute.

However, the atmosphere in the room at the moment was extremely dull. Bai Aoxue read the letter several times over and over again. She rubbed it in her hand and opened it again. Her eyebrows were folded up high, making people afraid to disturb her.

And several people, including Li Xiao, stood beside, waiting for Bai Aoxue’s command.

After a long time, when Li Xiao thought that Bai Aoxue could say nothing, she calmly said, “Get ready now and we will leave at noon.”

Li Xiao was greatly surprised when he heard this, but relieved when he thought of Jun Yeyan.

“Miss, why are we leaving in such a hurry?” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue in surprise.

Bai Aoxue looked at them and whispered, “Mumian, after walking out of peach blossom mountain, you follow Nalan Youhong back to the Chengxi Dynasty first. Li Xiao, Ying San and I are going to the frontier now. Jun Yeyan was assassinated by the people of Nanyue Dynasty. I have to get there.”

“But… What about the little crown prince? He cannot leave you!” Mumian looked at the soft little baby and said heartily.

Following Mumian’s eyes, Bai Aoxue looked down at the little crown prince at her feet. She slightly bent over and picked him up, “My child will naturally follow me. I will take him wherever I go, and I will not let him alone.”

Several people, including Mumian and Hongxiu, were slightly surprised at Bai Aoxue’s words. They thought that Bai Aoxue would give the child to them and let them take him back to the Chengxi Dynasty.

“But…” Mumian wanted to say a few words but was interrupted by Bai Aoxue.

“Well, no but. I will take Aoji away. I don’t want to separate from him for he cannot leave me. I will take him to see how his father fights for the country. You go and pack things up, and I want to leave early,” Bai Aoxue interrupted Mumian and said lightly.

And the little crown prince seemed to understand what Bai Aoxue said. He raised his fat hand to touch his mother’s jade-like cheek and beamed “yum” on her face.

Bai Aoxue rubbed the baby’s fat face, smiling lightly.

And when people saw this scene, they withdrew out of the house spontaneously.

The little crown prince looked at her beautiful mother and smiled, too.

“Son, your father is injured. Your mother will show you your father’s mess. You should be a good boy,” Bai Aoxue touched the baby’s face and whispered.

The baby was still babbling to reply.

In fact, Bai Aoxue did not say so clearly. The general meaning of the letter from Ying Er was that Jun Yeyan was now in a coma and the military doctors did not dare to treat him rashly. They could only keep Jun Yeyan alive and wait for Bai Aoxue to come.

Putting down the little crown prince, Bai Aoxue changed into a neat suit of men’s clothing, with long ink-black hair tied up high, and the whole person looked dashing.

The cold appearance, the imposing manner looking down upon everything, and the pair of phoenix-like eyes without any emotions were just the same as ever.

The little crown prince looked at his mother, whose appearance had changed into another person, he fluttered curiously and rolled a few times on the soft blanket.

Bai Aoxue bent over and picked up the little crown prince, picking up some gadgets for him, and the little crown prince laid on his mother’s shoulder and saw her pick up curiously.

He was guided by babbling on the sidelines, saying that what should pick up and what should not.

Bai Aoxue patted the little crown prince’s head and smiled gently, “You know so much, what you like and what you dislike.”

The little crown prince proudly raised his head. Of course, he took every word said by his mother as a compliment.

Seeing the small wood blade on the ground, the little crown prince began to get excited again. After seeing this, Bai Aoxue picked it up and handed it to him.

The little crown prince was satisfied.

After collecting things, Bai Aoxue took the happy little crown prince out of the house and saw a courtyard full of people.

“Ow-ow!” A loud growl came as if to show its existence.

Following the voice, Bai Aoxue saw a figure, which she hadn’t seen for a long time, was stronger than the last time she saw it.

“Chidian!” Bai Aoxue shouted.

Hearing the voice of Bai Aoxue, Chidian shook its fluffy ears and walked gracefully to her side. It arched its head at her feet as ever.

Bai Aoxue held the little crown prince with one hand, lowered herself and looked at Chidian. She rubbed its hairy head and said, “Long time no see. You are finally willing to come back.”

When she entered peach blossom mountain, Chidian ran away like the wind and didn’t appear yesterday. Occasionally, Bai Aoxue was in the house and heard its roar, and then the sound disappeared for a few days. Each time it shouted, it told Bai Aoxue that it was still here.

She did not expect that it came back today.

The little crown prince looked at the colossus and did not feel terror or fear at all. Instead, he blinked through his pair of bright phoenix-like eyes and looked at Chidian for every moment.

And Chidian looked at the little crown prince as well, suddenly sticking out its tongue close to him and licking his little hand.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” The little crown prince looked at Chidian in surprise and shouted with arms and legs waving.

Bai Aoxue patted the little crown prince on the back and looked at Li Xiao and others, “Go when ready.”

Li Xiao took the parcel from Bai Aoxue’s hand and nodded, “I have already prepared the carriage and horses outside, and we can leave after going out.”

Bai Aoxue nodded and looked at Jianjia nearby, “Jianjia, do you follow me to the frontier or go back to the Chengxi Dynasty to see your master?”

Jianjia did not speak but drew close to Bai Aoxue. Bai Aoxue smiled gently, “Let’s go.”

A line of people left peach blossom mountain in haste, and the road was quite smooth for Chidian was leading in front of them.

However, the little crown prince was extremely interested in this hairy colossus and shouted happily. He did not fell asleep in Bai Aoxue’s arms on time until it was time for a nap.

Although the child liked to be noisy, his adaptability was the same as that of Bai Aoxue. He could adapt to the environment instantly wherever he was. Even now, when Bai Aoxue was hurrying on the road, the little crown prince could still sleep soundly.

It was unavoidable to stop in the way for taking care of the little crown prince. The line of people did not walk out of the peach blossom mountain until the sun was about to set.

She informed several people, including Mumian. And Li Xiao also sent people to protect them all the way.

After that, Bai Aoxue was separated from them.

Although fearing of Jun Yeyan’s situation, for the sake of the little crown prince, Bai Aoxue still chose to take a carriage, but did not stay at the inn all the way, instead, she hurried off all night.

Fortunately, peach blossom mountain was not far from the frontier which could be reached within a few days. It was also owing to that Jun Yeyan and his party had captured all the way so that they could shorten the journey so much.

After three days of sleepless driving, as long as they got over the mountain and spent one afternoon, they could reach the frontier. However, the situation at the other side of the mountain was grim. Bai Aoxue gave up the carriage for it might hard to get there.

The little crown prince was wrapped up in her chest tightly with her dark gray cloak and was hid in her arms, which made no one see any flaws.

The hat on the head covered the stunning appearance, making her more mysterious.

Chidian followed her closely. Bai Aoxue hurried all the way, worrying about Jun Yeyan in her mind. Although she didn’t show it on the face, she was absolutely no less worried than anyone else.

Or it could say that she had great concerns for him, which was over the accumulated amount of others.

And the little crown prince did not make much trouble along the way, probably for showing understanding and sympathy for his mother.
