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

Deng Yuchuan's body was dragged down, and the blood on the ground was quickly cleaned up.

As for the scorched corpse that made the old emperor's throat stick like a stick, it was also taken away by the imperial guards and destroyed without leaving any traces.

Although the farce was over, everyone was in no mood to continue the banquet.

The birthday banquet had to end hastily.

When Xiao Juan arrived, Yu Nianiao had disappeared.

Before he could be disappointed, he saw a small pearl by the foot of the table.

He picked up the pearl and looked at it. It should be the bead flower on the woman's head. For some reason, one of the pearls fell off.

Although the pearl is small, but judging from its color and shape, it should be a tribute from the South China Sea.

As long as it is a tribute, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely have a record.

Xiao Juan held the pearl tightly and rushed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs without stopping.

In order not to be discovered, he disguised himself as an imperial guard, carefully avoiding the sight of others, and quietly sneaked into the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As he expected, he quickly found the records about South Sea pearls in the register.

All these pearls were rewarded to the concubines in the harem, among which the queen took the majority, and the queen rewarded the part of the pearls she got to the prince.

Xiao Juan paused for a moment on the word "Prince", and he already had a bottom line in his heart.

He put the register back in place, turned and opened the window, and jumped out.

As soon as he landed, he saw an acquaintance standing in the corridor.

Wei Liao leaned on the pillar with his arms crossed, looking boneless and lazy.

He looked at Xiao Juan with a half-smile and asked.

"Shouldn't King Langjun be on his way to Liaodong County at this time?"

Xiao Juan frowned slightly, and asked without answering, "When did you come?"

Wei Liao teased, "Not long after I came here, I happened to see King Lang sneaking into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What's wrong? King Lang is going to have a hard time, and he's planning to become a thief?"

Xiao Juan didn't know what the other party's attitude was, so he didn't answer the conversation, but looked at the other party with guarded eyes.

Wei Liao straightened up a little: "What is Langjun Wang looking for here?"

Xiao Juan was silent for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Liaoyou is gone, I'm looking for her."

Hearing Niao Niao's name, the smile on Wei Liao's face faded a bit: "She's not here, King Langjun looked for the wrong place."

Xiao Juan keenly found the key point in his words, and quickly asked.

"Do you know where Curly is?"

Wei Liao laughed at himself: "How could I know where she is?"

Then he looked Xiao Juan up and down again, and said in a gloating tone.

"If the emperor sees King Langjun's current state, guess how the emperor will react?"

Xiao Juan was silent.

Of course he knew that if the emperor knew that he had quietly returned to Yujing, he would definitely be furious and take this opportunity to severely punish him.

At that time, not to mention his status, even his life will be lost.

Wei Liao pretended to be thinking seriously: "How about this, if you promise to give me Niao Niao, I won't reveal the secret of your private return to Beijing?"

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the No Return Knife in Xiao Juan's hand was already out of its sheath.

The sharp blade came through the wind, and it was already close to the door in the blink of an eye!

The fierce and murderous aura struck like an overwhelming mountain.

Wei Liao backed away in fright.

He touched his forehead, which was almost slashed by the knife of no return, and a strand of severed hair slowly fell down.

Wei Liao exaggeratedly exclaimed with a frightened expression on his face.

"Isn't it? I was just joking, why are you so ruthless?"

Xiao Juan held the No Return Knife in his hand and looked at him coldly: "Is it really just a joke?"

Wei Liao put down his hands and sighed: "Do you have to be so straightforward? No wonder so many people in the court hate you. With your bad temper, who can like you?"

Xiao Juan: "It's fine if you like it."

Wei Liao choked hard.

He ground his molars, and said bitterly: "She is blind!"

There are so many good men in the world, why do they just look at this stinky and hard-tempered bastard in front of him? !

Xiao Juan was still thinking about the safety of Ling Ling, so he didn't want to waste time with him here.

He put the knife back into its sheath: "I'll ask you one last time, do you really not know where you are?"

When it came to business, Wei Liao's expression became more upright.

"Even if you know where she is, it's useless, you alone can't snatch her back.

Take a step back and say that even if you can snatch her back, you can't protect her.

If you're really doing it for her own good, let it go, and don't let her take risks with you again. "

In the end, his tone became more serious than ever.

Obviously this is his sincere words.

Xiao Juan seemed to be unable to understand what he meant, and said expressionlessly, "Is it at the prince's place?"

Wei Liao frowned: "Since you have already guessed it, you should know what I said is right."

"Thank you."

Xiao Juan put down these two words and turned to leave.

Seeing people so ignorant of good and bad, Wei Liao couldn't help but get angry: "Don't think I'm scaring you, given your current situation, you can't protect yourself, let alone protect you. Now the entire Wild Goose Dynasty is only The crown prince can protect her, and I do it for her own good!"

Xiao Juan paused.

He said without looking back: "The emperor killed Niaoyou's stepfather, Shen Zhuo is her son who killed his father and enemy, do you really think she would be willing to live with Shen Zhuo?"

Wei Liao couldn't answer.

Xiao Juan: "What's more, how do you know that I can't protect her?"

After speaking, he strode away.

Wei Liao stood where he was, watching his back that was going away quickly, and held back for a long time before uttering a word.

"They're all idiots!"

He didn't know whether he was scolding Xiao Juan or himself.

...

Yu Niaolang was sent back to another courtyard.

She sat motionless in the chair, staring at the corner in a daze.

In the eyes that were bright and pure in the past, now there is darkness.

It was as if her whole world had lost its color.

Huan'er specially asked the kitchen to make a lot of delicious food and put it in front of Yu Niao, but it was useless, Yu Niao didn't even look at it.

After that, Huan'er thought of many ways, but she still couldn't make Yu Niaoliu say a word.

When Shen Zhuo came back, Huan'er rushed forward as if seeing a savior.

"His Royal Highness, Miss Yu hasn't spoken or eaten since she came back. I don't know what to do?"

Shen Zhuo waved his hand: "Go down first."

"Here."

Huan'er retreated obediently.

Only Yu Niao and Shen Zhuo were left in the dark room.

Shen Zhuo walked to the table and fiddled with the candle wick, which made the candle flame brighter, and even the light in the room became much brighter.

He looked at Yu Niaoyou's pale face, and reached out to touch her hand.

But she dodged it.

Shen Zhuo showed helplessness: "Gu has already fulfilled what Gu promised you, why are you still angry with Gu?"
