Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Wei Liao and Xiao Lian went to and fro, and after walking around for a long time, no one came out with any useful information.

The smile on Wei Liao's face faded, and there was a hidden threat in his tone.

"The emperor specially sent me to help you solve the case, but you refused to share any clues, what? Do you think the emperor should not send me to intervene in this case?"

Xiao Yan said with an expressionless face.

"The emperor sent you to look for clues, not to send you here to waste time with me.

If you have time to spend with me here, why don't you check the archives of previous years in the palace, maybe there will be clues. "

Wei Liao: "Don't the Justice Department have a file in the palace?"

Xiao Yan gave a two-word answer without hesitation.

"No."

Wei Liao didn't believe it, but he couldn't find any evidence to refute it, so he could only give up in the end.

"Well, since you reject me so much, then I won't be here to get in your way.

I'm leaving first, if you find any clues, remember to tell me as soon as possible. "

Xiao Yan didn't even have a polite word for walking slowly, and immediately closed the door.

Wei Liao looked at the closed door in front of her, and the smile on her face was completely unbearable.

The other party did not give him any face at all.

That being the case, let's take a look!

Wei Liao sneered and turned to leave.

After he left the Justice Department, he rode to the palace.

We happened to pass a bookstore on the way.

There was a long queue at the entrance of the bookstore, which looked very lively.

Wei Liao felt very curious, and immediately reined in the reins and instructed the Sirius Guard who followed behind.

"Go and see what's going on?"

A Sirius guard led the way.

Soon he was back.

"Reporting to the deputy capital, the bookstore in front has a new book on sale today, and those people are all lining up to buy books."

Wei Liao was puzzled: "What book is worth lining up to buy in such a cold weather?"

"The book is called "Seven Treasures".

It is said that the entire book is composed of pictures, with only a few words.

Even people who don't know how to read can understand the whole book just by looking at the pictures.

The book went on sale yesterday, and it was sold out as soon as it came out.

The owner of Jin'er Bookstore began to limit purchases. Only fifty copies were sold a day, and no more copies were sold.

Those people were afraid that they would not be able to grab it, so they came to the door early in the morning to line up. "

Wei Liao is a little interested. He also likes to read the storybooks on weekdays, and he goes to the theater when he has nothing to do. He has a very good understanding of the popular storybooks on the market.

He had never heard of the book "Seven Treasures".

Wei Liao instructed: "Go and buy a copy for your grandfather."

"Here."

Tianlangwei, relying on the convenience of his status, bought a copy of "Seven Treasures" directly from the bookstore without queuing up.

He respectfully handed the book to Wei Liao.

Wei Liao slowly rode his horse, holding the "Seven Treasures" in one hand

His eyes fell on the cover, and the author's name was Master Wang of the village mouth.

Wei Liao frowned slightly: "What kind of strange name is this?"

He felt that the person who could give himself such a pseudonym was definitely not a normal person.

Wei Liao casually opened the "Seven Treasures Lu".

Originally, he just read this book with a fresh mood, but he couldn't stop looking at it.

The plot of the story is not new, but this way of telling the story with pictures is rare.

The most important thing is that the pictures in the book are very vivid, the joys and sorrows of the characters are depicted vividly, and the images of the male and female protagonists are also very vivid.

In the past, he had to imagine the story screen when he read the storybook, but this "Seven Treasures Lu" is different. It directly presents the story screen in front of him, giving him a more intuitive feeling for the content of the story.

Wei Liao was fascinated.

It was not until the Sirius Guard who followed behind reminded him that he realized that he had arrived near the palace gate.

He reluctantly closed the book, put it in his arms, and planned to study it carefully when he returned home at night.

At the same time, the author of this book has also changed a lot.

Although the pen name is a bit strange, the painting skills are still very good.

...

In Jingming Zhai, Yu Weiwei could clearly hear the conversation between Xiao Juan and Wei Liao just now.

She is also very interested in the remains of the baby in Liucui Palace. After all, they were dug up by her own hands, and she would like to know the origin of the baby.

"Haven't you found out the baby's identity?"

Xiao Yan had nothing to hide from her, and said calmly.

"The remains have been handed over to Xiao Luo for an autopsy. The child was poisoned before he died, but the real cause of death was suffocation."

Yu curling was surprised: "suffocated to death?"

Xiao Lian continued to speak.

"Liucui Palace used to be the residence of Concubine Yue, because of her beautiful appearance, Concubine Yue was deeply favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace.

Later, she became pregnant, but unfortunately it was difficult to give birth, and the child died as soon as she was born.

She also died of a massive hemorrhage. "

Yu curled up: "Could it be that that child was born by Concubine Yue?"

Xiao Lian said slowly.

"According to Xiao Luo's test results, the child died twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago happened to be the time when Concubine Yue died in childbirth.

But the child born by Concubine Yue was buried long ago.

The funeral is organized by the Ministry of Rites and the Internal Attendant, and there can be no leave. "

Yu Weiwei scratched his head.

"If it wasn't Concubine Yue's child, then whose child would he be? Could it be that someone else was pregnant in Liu Cui Palace?"

Xiao Lian said.

"I have asked people to retrieve the information of all the maids in Liucui Palace and confirmed that no one was pregnant that year.

But these are only superficial data.

After all, it is not a good thing for a palace maid to be pregnant.

If someone was really pregnant, they would definitely try to hide it.

Coupled with the long period of time, this matter is very difficult to check. "

Yu curling suggested: "Why don't you ask mama Xiuyan? She is an old man in the palace, and she should be familiar with the affairs in the palace."

After being reminded by her, Xiao Juan remembered that he had forgotten to embroider the words.

He nodded and replied, "Well, I'll go back and ask her later."

Yu curled up: "Wait a minute, I made orange candy, you can bring some back for mummy to taste."

She quickly ran to the kitchen, wrapped the freshly made orange candy in oil paper, and tied a beautiful bow with red silk thread.

She put the oiled paper package into Xiao Yan's hands.

Xiao Yan put the oiled paper bag in his arms and rode back to the county palace.

Mother Xiuyan had not seen Prince Lang for two days, and when she saw him back, she was both surprised and delighted.

"His Royal Highness, you are back! The old slave heard that Princess Princess had an accident in the palace. Is she okay now? Is she injured?"

"Yiyou is in the Justice Department now, she is all right." Xiao Yan took out the oiled paper bag from his arms, "This is the candy she made herself, let me bring it back to you."

Madam Xiuyan opened the oiled paper bag and was very moved when she saw the orange candy inside.

"Let the princess worry about it."

She is old, her teeth are bad, and she can't eat many things. This orange candy doesn't need to be chewed, just put it in her mouth. It's very suitable for an old man like her.

Madam Xiuyan carefully put away the orange candy.
