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

Xiao Juan met the emperor after entering the palace.

The emperor's condition is better than the rumors. Although he is sick in bed and needs to be served by others, at least his mind is still clear and his spirits look good.

He heard Xiao Juan recount the whole story of his trip to Liangzhou from beginning to end, and the content was almost the same as what Wei Liao said.

The old emperor was sitting on the bed, speaking very slowly, with a sense of old age unique to the elderly.

"I didn't expect Niyang to do such a thing. She really disappointed me too much. Fortunately, you didn't join in with her. You are still a good boy and lived up to my expectations for you."

Xiao Lian said respectfully, "Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the duty of a minister."

The old emperor: "This time you have done a good job in calming the chaos. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

Xiao Fan: "Wei Chen wants a three-month vacation."

The old emperor was surprised.

"What do you want on such a long vacation?"

Xiao Lian lowered his eyes and looked a little sad: "Although my mother made a big mistake, she is Wei Chen's mother after all. Wei Chen feels uncomfortable and wants to go out for a walk."

The old emperor sighed.

"It's all Niyang's fault. You've been afflicted with you, so I'll let you rest for three months and relax."

Xiao Lan bowed to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The old emperor: "In addition, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk and satin."

Xiao Yan thanked him again.

Just saying these words, the old emperor was already tired.

Xiao Yan said goodbye and left.

After he walked out of the bedroom, he did not go home directly, but bypassed the housekeeper.

When the eunuch in charge of the chamberlain saw King Lang Jun approaching, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"The slave maid pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of the County. I don't know what is the meaning of His Royal Highness's sudden presence?"

Xiao Yan took out the emerald bracelet wrapped in silk handkerchief from his sleeve and said solemnly.

"Help this king check the origin of this bracelet."

The eunuch in charge took the bracelet with both hands and looked at it carefully.

"This is indeed something in the palace, but it should be an old object from many years ago. How could it be in the hands of His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Wan said coldly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

The eunuch in charge shrank his neck and did not dare to say more.

Although he is quite old, his memory is really good, and he soon found the relevant records of the jade bracelet from a lot of booklets.

"This bracelet came from Persia as a tribute fifty years ago, and was later given to Concubine Meng by Emperor Ren. Since then, this bracelet has not appeared again. The slave remembers that there is a pair of these bracelets. Why is there only one pair? One more left? And one more?"

Xiao Lian ignored the question from the eunuch in charge and asked in a deep voice.

"Where is the Concubine Meng?"

The eunuch in charge stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky: "She has long since returned to the west. If she was still alive, she would be about a hundred years old now."

Xiao Lian asked again, "Does she have descendants?"

The eunuch in charge shook his head: "No, Concubine Meng is a very good person. She is known for her good temper in the palace. It's a pity that she has no children, not even a princess."

Xiao Yan didn't ask any more, put away the jade bracelet, and warned at the same time.

"I don't want a third person to know what you said to this king just now."

The eunuch in charge hurriedly replied, "This slave understands."

He watched Prince Lang leave.

After confirming that the person was far away, the eunuch in charge immediately left the inner servant and hurried to find Wei Wynn.

He told Wei Wynn about King Lang's investigation of the jade bracelet.

Wayne didn't understand: "why does he want to check the origin of a bracelet?"

The eunuch in charge shook his head: "He didn't say it, the servants don't know."

Wei Wynn waved his hand to let the eunuch in charge go down, and instead ordered someone to call Wei Liao over.

"Father called me here, what did you tell me?"

Wei Huaien: "You followed Prince Lang to Liangzhou. Have you ever seen a jade bracelet in his hand along the way?"

Wei Liao nodded without hesitation.

"I saw it."

Afterwards, he explained the process of discovering the jade bracelet, and finally said it.

"I wanted to see the bracelet at that time, but Prince Lang refused to let him. I saw him like that, and I should have discovered something unusual about the bracelet."

Wei Huaien thought thoughtfully: "how can there be something in the palace in the hands of the water bandit? What about the body of the water bandit? "

Wei Liao: "I was taken away by Prince Lang, so I should be in the Justice Department at the moment."

Wayne didn't ask anymore.

Because he knew that as long as the corpse entered the justice department, he would not be able to touch it again.

Wei Liao asked curiously, "Is that bracelet really something from the palace?"

Wei Huaien: "that's what Emperor Ren gave to Concubine Meng, but Concubine Meng has been dead for many years, how could her things appear in the hands of a water bandit? And Prince Lang, why did he do this to this matter? Mind? It's too weird, you have to keep an eye on it."

Wei Liao nodded in response.

"I will."

After talking about the business, Wayne slowed down and chatted with him about everyday things.

"You have been out for a long time, and you have seen a lot of tanning. You have suffered a lot along the way, right?"

Wei Liao smiled casually: "It's okay, I think it's good to be able to go out and learn more."

Wei Huaien: "I heard that there was a scandal between you and Princess Langjun. The relationship between you and her is unclear. Is this true?"

Wei Liao denied it without hesitation.

"No, those are all rumors."

Wei Wynn stared at him: "if you say no, it means no, but I still want to ask you, do you really have no idea about Yu curling?"

Wei Liao pretended to smile easily: "This is the second time you have asked me."

Wayne: "is your answer the same as last time?"

Wei Liao opened her mouth, wanting to say yes, but Yu Lingyi's bright and bright smile suddenly appeared in her mind, and she suddenly lost her words when she reached her mouth.

He just stood there quietly, silent.

Wayne frowned slightly.

"You should know that you are not the same as her."

Wei Liao remained silent.

Wei Huaien: "go back first, and I'll send you an errand tomorrow to let you leave Yujing for a while, and come back when you calm down."

"Here."

After Wei Liao bid farewell to his adoptive father, he walked alone on the way out of the palace.

On both sides are high palace walls, and beneath the feet is a flat and hard white marble floor.

He looked ahead, still recalling what his adoptive father had just said.

His father asked him what he thought of Yu curling?

He didn't think he could have any idea about Yu curling.

At that moment, he was like a ghost, and he couldn't say anything in denial.

Could it be that he really fell in love with Yu curling?

Impossible.

She's not the one he likes at all!

There must be a mistake somewhere!

Father was right, he had to calm down.

Wei Liao clenched his fists and silently told himself that when he calmed down, he would know that it was impossible for him to have a good impression of Yu curling.
