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

Nestled in Xiao Juan's broad and warm arms, Yu Niao fell into a deep sleep.

In the darkness, Xiao Juan raised his hand to caress her cheek, and carefully wiped away the tears.

Maybe Niaoyou has forgotten, but Xiao Juan still remembers that two years ago, on such a night, he was shaken by what he did.

He wanted to know whether the things he did were right or wrong?

Niaoyou told him without hesitation that he was not wrong.

No matter when and where, it cannot be wrong to stick to justice.

And now, he wants to convince her that she is right.

Those who are truly selfish are those who disregard ethics and laws and turn black and white for their own selfish desires.

Xiao Juan got up lightly, put on his clothes and quietly walked out of the bedroom.

He had to explain some things to Pan Dafu.

...

In another courtyard.

Normally everyone would have gone to bed at this time, but tonight was different, the courtyard was still brightly lit.

Everyone in the courtyard fell silent.

Huan'er knelt on the ground, her little face was pale and trembling.

"It's because the maidservant was ineffective and failed to take good care of Ms. Yu. Please punish her by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Zhuo sat in a chair, and the stove next to him continuously emitted warmth.

He didn't even look at Huan'er, but looked down at the silver earring in his hand.

This is the earring that Niaoyou accidentally dropped. After he picked it up, he has been carrying it with him all the time. Whenever he thinks about Niaoyou, he can't help but take out the earring to have a look.

Huan'er kept kowtowing to admit her mistake, her forehead was scratched, but the prince still couldn't speak a word.

She didn't know what it meant, and didn't dare to stop, so she could only continue to kowtow.

A guard strode in and bowed his fists: "Report to His Royal Highness, the man has been found."

Only then did Shen Zhuo look away from the silver earrings.

He said lightly: "Back off."

Huan'er stepped down with the other maids as if she had been pardoned.

After everyone left, the guard continued to speak.

"This subordinate has followed His Highness's instructions, and has been following Langjun Wang and Princess Princess secretly since they left the other courtyard. This subordinate saw them enter Pan's residence with their own eyes, and now they are in Pan's residence."

Shen Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Pan Mansion?"

The guard explained: "There is a Pan Dafu in the Pan family. He used to be a cook in the Department of Political Science and Law. I heard that he has a good relationship with the princess of the county."

Shen Zhuo understood: "So that's the case."

While looking at the prince's expression, the guard carefully wrote.

"Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to immediately send someone to take them all together?"

If you make a move at this time, you are guaranteed to wipe out all the members of Lang County King and the Pan family!

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhuo rejected his proposal.

"Don't act rashly just yet."

The guards didn't understand what he meant: "What if the king of Langjun escapes? The king of Langjun is really cunning. If it weren't for his subordinates who had been instructed by you to monitor the concubine secretly, they would not have been able to find the king of Langjun." If you let him escape, it will be very difficult to catch him in the future!"

Shen Zhuo had his own plans in mind, and said softly: "Don't worry, just wait and see."

The guard couldn't help asking, "What are you waiting for, Your Highness?"

Shen Zhuo didn't answer, but ordered.

"Keep staring at them, until tomorrow morning, Guzi will tell you what to do."

"Here."

The guard left in a hurry.

It was getting late, but Shen Zhuo didn't intend to go to bed.

He changed his clothes, went out and boarded the carriage, and went straight to the palace.

As soon as Shen Zhuo entered the dormitory, a wave of heat rushed to his face.

The ground dragon in the house was burning very vigorously, and the doors and windows were closed tightly, so the breath could not circulate, and the room was filled with the bitter smell of medicine, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Zhuo just frowned slightly when he entered the door, and returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

He didn't even have time to take off the cloak on his body, so he hurriedly walked into the inner room, and saw the old emperor who was sick in bed.

Shen Zhuo knelt on one knee beside the bed, and asked with concern: "Father, isn't your condition getting better?"

Wei Huai'en helped the old emperor to sit up and explained.

"Since the birthday banquet ended, His Majesty's old problems have recurred again. The imperial physicians have prescribed medicine, but nothing has improved."

Shen Zhuo hurriedly asked: "What about the Tai Sui before? Didn't you say that you will be fine after eating Tai Sui?"

Wei Wynn still shook his head: "I've eaten it, but it's still useless."

Shen Zhuo was burning with anxiety: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

The old emperor opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice hoarse and weak.

"Your Majesty, where is King Jia?"

Shen Zhuo replied truthfully: "As soon as the birthday banquet was over, he left Yujing in a hurry, and he should be on his way back to the fief now."

The old emperor: "Send someone to intercept him, and don't let him return to the fief alive."

Although he had given the imperial edict to King Jia, as long as King Jia died, that imperial edict would not count.

As for King Jia's family, if they dare to make trouble, they will all die.

Shen Zhuo bowed his head and responded: "I understand."

The old emperor took a breath, and continued: "There are also those old things in the cabinet, let's find a chance and solve them all. My secret, other than me, can only be known by the dead."

Shen Zhuo responded obediently: "My son will take care of it."

The old emperor smiled coldly: "I sent someone to Yu's house, but it turned out to be one step too late.

Yu Kangtai and his children have already run away.

Did they think it would be all right?

Although I can't find Yu Kangtai temporarily, I know that Mrs. Xie and Feng Lianghan are buried there.

Since they won't let me have a good time, I won't let them rest in peace either.

You send a team to Bashu to dig out the bones of Mrs. Xie and Feng Lianghan, and I will crush them to ashes! "

Shen Zhuo lowered his head even lower: "Here."

The old emperor glanced at him: "Are you afraid?"

Shen Zhuo didn't speak.

The old emperor thought he had acquiesced, and educated him earnestly.

"You know, don't blame me for being cruel.

When you sit in this position in the future, you will understand,

If you want to achieve great things, you can't have the benevolence of a woman, let alone leave your handle in the hands of others.

Anyone who hinders us must be eliminated.

Not one left! "

Shen Zhuo said earnestly: "Thank you for your father's teaching, I will definitely remember it, and I will send people to Bashu tomorrow morning. My son will let everyone remember, but anyone who is against the father will not Good luck!"

The old emperor was very pleased: "Young children can be taught."

Shen Zhuo sincerely begged: "The country cannot live without a king, and the sons and ministers cannot live without their father. I also ask my father to take good care of his health as soon as possible."

Even though he was unwilling, the old emperor had to recognize the reality. Now he is no longer able to control the government.

If he wants to stabilize the government, he can only give up power.

He said slowly: "I'm getting old, this country will be yours sooner or later, you have to learn to be the leader alone, and you can make up your own mind about government affairs in the future."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes with a tired look on his face.
