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

In fact, when they just left Luzhou, Xiao Juan noticed that someone was following behind him, but Xiao Yan pretended not to notice anything and continued on his way.

After dark, the group stopped to rest.

Only then did Xiao Fan quietly tell the others that they were being followed.

They pretended to be asleep and deliberately showed their flaws.

Sure enough, the group of assassins appeared.

It was a good layout originally, as long as they can capture the assassin alive, they can ask who is the real murderer behind the scenes.

As a result, Deng Luyun messed up the matter.

This is the first time he has suffered a setback in his life.

The boy's self-confidence fell into underestimation, and the whole person was dizzy.

Yu Weiyi walked over and squatted down, stretched out his hand and ripped off the face towel from an assassin's face, seeing that the face of the other was unfamiliar, and he didn't know him.

Seeing that the assassin was carrying a quiver behind her, she took out an arrow and looked at it, and immediately recognized it.

"This is the assassin who attacked me last night."

Xiao Lian asked, "Why do you see it?"

Yu Wei shook the arrow in his hand: "This arrow is exactly the same as the arrow that attacked me last night, they should be the same group."

Xiao Yan looked at the assassin's body on the ground, then looked at the carriage next to him, frowning slightly.

"These assassins came for you twice, but you don't know them. Could it be that there is something in you that they want?"

Yu Weiwei responded quickly: "It's that jade bracelet!"

Xiao Yan agreed with her guess.

"The reason why Li Niang died at the beginning was probably related to the jade bracelet. Now that the bracelet is in your hands, the people behind the scenes are eyeing you again."

Hearing him mention Li Niang, Deng Yuchuan couldn't help but speak.

"It must have been done by Empress Dowager Deng. She didn't want people to know about the existence of the bracelet, for fear that her crime of murdering her own sister would be exposed."

Xiao Yan felt that it was not so simple.

"Assuming you're telling the truth,

If the queen mother was really afraid of the crime being exposed, she would not have sent someone to kill Li Niang.

Anyway, she is the queen mother, even if Li Niang goes to sue the imperial court, she can't help the queen mother.

There is absolutely no need for the Queen Mother to do this.

There must be a bigger secret hidden here. "

A secret that must be hidden even if the real murderer behind the scenes kills everyone.

There is so little evidence that the truth can never be confirmed by speculation alone.

Nurses dug holes on the spot and buried the bodies of the assassins.

At dawn the next day they set off to continue their journey.

Yu curled up in the carriage, looking at the jade bracelet on his wrist in a trance.

Seeing this, Ling Hai couldn't help but ask.

"What did you think of?"

Yu curling: "For such a small bracelet, so many people have died, first my mother and stepfather, then Sun Dalang's family, and Li Niang, now this bracelet has fallen into my hands, is it me? will also..."

Ling Hai hurriedly interrupted her.

"No! You are full of happiness, you will be fine!"

Yu Wei smiled.

She put down her hand and said, "according to your auspicious words, I hope I can live to the day when the truth is revealed."

It turns out that her worries were not unfounded.

Along the way, assassins kept attacking them.

The goals of those assassins were surprisingly consistent—

They are all coming towards the curl.

Once the assassination fails, they will kill themselves without hesitation.

Even if Xiao Juan had taken precautions in advance and prevented them from committing suicide on the spot, they would have died of poison in a short time.

It turned out that these assassins had already taken poison before they acted.

Once the mission is successful, they will immediately take the antidote, but if the mission fails, the poison will kill them.

This almost suicidal method of assassination is enough to show the determination of the real murderer behind the scenes to kill Yu Curly.

Xiao Yan suggested: "Give me the bracelet."

If those assassins really came for the bracelet, he would bear all the risks.

Yu curling didn't want Xiao Yan to take the risk for herself, but she knew how much she had, and she had no ability to protect herself, so it would be more secure to put the bracelet in Xiao Yan's hands.

So she obediently handed the jade bracelet to Xiao Yan.

Soon they were attacked again.

The targets of the assassins this time became two—

Xiao Juan and Yu curl.

Even if there was no bracelet on her body, the assassins still did not let her go.

After a fierce battle, the Assassins were defeated.

Deng Luyun reacted quickly this time, and did not give the assassins a chance to commit suicide. He immediately caught people, removed their jaws and limbs, and made them lose their ability to commit suicide.

Pity it didn't work.

After a while, the assassins twitched all over, vomited black blood, and then kicked their legs out of breath.

Apparently, they had already taken the poison, and now they died.

Deng Luyun hated his teeth so much that he was helpless.

Yu Wei walked in front of Xiao Jian, she looked at Xiao Jian with a bad face and said.

"Give me the bracelet anyway."

Xiao Lian stood still.

Yu curling: "You saw it just now, their goal is not just the bracelet, but me.

No matter who the bracelet is on, they won't let me go.

Instead of one more person taking the risk, put the bracelet on me. "

Xiao Yan knew she was right.

But he couldn't accept it.

"I won't let you face danger alone. Even if you want to die, I will accompany you."

When the man said this sentence, his tone was extremely low, like a knife blade stabbed into the ground, showing a decisive momentum.

Yu Weiwei smiled, seemingly helpless, but also happy.

"Well, since you have to share my troubles, then I have no reason to reject you."

So far, curling has never mentioned that he wants to return the bracelet.

But when he was alone, he couldn't help but wonder, is he being too selfish?

She wants to pursue the truth and avenge her mother and stepfather. No matter how much risk she takes, she is willing to do so.

But Xiao Yan didn't need to avenge anyone.

He can safely be an outsider.

Now he wants to put himself in danger for her.

Time passes day by day.

They were getting closer and closer to Yujing, and the assassins seemed to know that there was not much time left, and the attacks they launched became crazier each time.

Once Xiao Juan was unfortunately injured.

Although it was only a minor injury, it made the feeling of uneasiness in Ling Yun's heart stronger.

Curl helped Xiao Yan to bandage the wound, and moved very carefully.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Xiao Jian took the initiative to comfort her.

"It's alright, it's just a little injury, it'll be fine in two days."

Yu Weiyi opened her mouth, wanting Xiao Juan to stop investigating. She could investigate the Feng family's case by herself, and she didn't want Xiao Wan to be hurt for herself.

But he still swallowed the words.

Because she knew that Xiao Yan would not agree.

If Xiao Juan was in deep danger, she would definitely not leave him.

Xiao Lian looked at her fixedly, and suddenly said something in a deep voice.

"I will always be by your side, you can never get rid of me."

Yu curling was poked at the center, and her expression became a little flustered.

She hurriedly lowered her head: "What are you talking about? Don't ride a horse for the past two days, take a ride, so that the wound doesn't open."

Xiao Lian: "Okay."
