Chapter 158.2 – Goodbye Fang Jun Ping
Fang Jun Ping knew what the man was thinking and she couldn’t help but sneered.
“You think that I won’t find out just because you don’t tell me? But you don’t have to worry. I know about this because I accidentally heard some people passing by outside the courtyard talking about this matter, it wasn’t your people that revealed it to me.”
There was only a wall between where she was standing and the alley, and the two people talking happened to have loud voices.
Consort Yan’s pregnancy caused quite a stir int he palace, and the South District was the center of rumors. It was not an accident that this matter would spread.
The gloomy look on the man’s face did not disappear because of her words.
Although he was still very skeptical, it was true that Fan Jun Ping did not have the ability to sneak out under his watch. Maybe it was just an accident as she said.
“Regardless, before Consort Yan gives brith to a child, you can’t go outside without careful consideration. This is for your daughter’s benefit. There are many people in the palace who want to target your daughter. If these people find out about your existence, your daughter will be put in a dangerous position.”

Fan Jun Ping hesitated. She didn’t really understand all this, but what the man said seemed to make sense. In the end, she had to compromise. From the day they fled An Yuan Country, her future could only depend on her daughter.
The man watched Fan Jun Ping retreat into the house with a dark look in his eyes. It would be best if this woman would know her place and lay low, if not, he might have to ask the state preceptor for the next part of his plan.
The courtyard was quiet again.
The man cleaned a spot on the steps in front of the door and sat down. This was the only exit from the house. With Fan Jun Ping’s ability, she could only leave the house through the door.
The hardworking sun quickly passed its highest point and then fell towards the west. Dusk came quietly, and the sky slowly darkened. When night fell, the surroundings became silent…
Under the cover of night, a ghostly black shadow quickly flashed into the yard and landed on the ground without a sound. None of the people on guard duty noticed, and not even the man directly supervising Fang Jun Ping noticed. At this moment, the man was leaning against a pillar and taking a nap.
The shadowy figure bent down and picked up a stone from the ground. He flicked the stone out with a sharp move of his fingertips. The stone whistled through the air and smacked against the man’s temple. The pain was so severe that the man fell to the ground before he could resist.

The shadowy figure walked into the room. His eyes swept across the room and landed on Fang Jun Ping, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. After knocking her out, the shadowy figure wrapped her up in a quilt, hefted her over his shoulder, and left.
No one noticed that Fan Jun Ping was missing.
It wasn’t until dawn did the people on watch duty noticed that the courtyard was quiet. They went in to check and found the man collapsed on the ground. They couldn’t help but gasp.
When the man woke, his complexion was stormy.
“The person who took Fang Jun Ping away is definitely not an ordinary person.”
A person who could knock him out silently must be much better than him at martial arts, otherwise he would have noticed the stone coming towards him.
“Notify the state preceptor immediately.”
“Understood!”
In Prince Fu’s Mansion, Fang Jun Ping slowly woke up. For a moment, she did not know where she was. When she became more awake, she realized that she was not looking at the top of the bed that she usually saw. She instantly became alert. Looking around, she realized that she was in a woodshed. There were a lot of firewood piled neatly around the room.
What on earth was this place?
Why did she wake up in a place like this?
Could it be that the man held a grudge against her because of what happened yesterday, so he knocked her out while she was sleeping in order to cut off the connection between her and her daughter?

A conspiracy theory popped into her head, and she could only think of this reason.
The sound of her waking up alerted the people on guard outside. The door creaked open and a head poked its way in. Before Fang Jun Ping could speak, the head withdrew again.
Fan Jun Ping rushed over, wanting to get out, but she discovered that the door was locked from the outside with a chain. Through the gap, she saw a person standing outside, and another figure running off into the distance.
“Who are you and why are you locking me up? Let me go now. I’m telling you, my daughter is the emperor’s favorite concubine…” Fang Jun Ping yelled at the people outside the door, feeling very panicked. The door rattled as she pounded against it.
