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

Xiao Wan walked slowly into the main room, only to see Yu curling up on the table dozing off.

She didn't know what she was dreaming about, she snorted twice, and there was a vague humming sound in her throat.

When Angelica saw Prince Lang's return, he hurriedly stood up and was about to open his mouth to shout, but Prince Lang raised his hand to stop him.

He took off the cloak on his body and draped it lightly on Yu curling up.

Yu Weiwei felt the weight on her body and woke up all of a sudden.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

When she saw the man standing in front of her, she instantly woke up and called out in surprise.

"His Royal Highness, you are finally back!"

Xiao Yan sat down beside her and asked, "Have you been waiting for this king to come back?"

Yu Weiwei nodded: "Yes, you have been in the palace for so long and have not come back, we are very worried about you."

She still remembered what Emma Xiuyan said, and she hurriedly said to Angelica.

"You go and tell Mammy Xiuyan that His Royal Highness the Prince has returned safely and let her rest in peace."

"Here."

Angelica obediently backed out.

Yu Weiwei took off the cloak from her body and put it on the chair next to her.

She asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Xiao Yan shook his head: "No."

Yu Weiwei had long expected that this would be the case, she said immediately.

"I have left you a meal, as long as it is hot, you can eat it."

She stood up and was about to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Xiao Lan.

He whispered: "It's so late, don't be too busy, let the people go to the hot dishes."

Yu Weiwei said yes.

She ordered the hot dishes.

Soon someone came in with a hot meal.

Looking at the fragrant and hot food, Xiao Lian's stomach was awakened at once, and he finally felt hungry.

He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat.

When he was almost done eating, Yu curled up and asked.

"Why did you come back so late? Did something happen in the palace?"

If it were the past, no matter what happened to Xiao Yan, he would only bury it in his heart and would never tell anyone else.

But after getting along for this period of time, he has already gained a certain amount of trust in Yu Weiwei. As long as it is not something that needs to be kept secret, he doesn't mind telling her about it.

Xiao Yan pondered for a while, and then opened his mouth.

"It's for blocking the city gate and arresting Che Xuekun."

Yu curling: "Does the emperor not agree to arrest people?"

Xiao Yan shook his head: "No, the emperor really wants to arrest people, but blocking the city gate is not a trivial matter. This matter must be approved by the cabinet, and the elders of the cabinet all disagree."

To the old emperor, Che Xuekun was the mastermind behind the anti-poetry case, or a meticulous work of the enemy country.

But the elders considered more.

Once the gates of the city are blocked, the common people will be inconvenient to go in and out, and they will definitely complain, merchants will not be able to pass normally, the business tax in the city will be reduced, and the correspondence between the imperial court and the local government is also a problem...

Both sides insist on their own words, and neither side will give in.

Because the old emperor was unwell, he was helped to rest after a few quarrels.

But Xiao Juan was left behind, and he had to continue to confront the old guys in the cabinet.

It was not until midnight that Xiao Juan was able to leave the palace.

Yu curled up: "What was the result? Who did you listen to in the end?"

Xiao Juan: "The elders said that they can block the city gate, but the premise is to leave two days for the people in the city to prepare, so as to reduce the resentment of the people."

Yu Wei was speechless.

Arresting a criminal is all about taking advantage of the unexpected.

There are still two days left for people to prepare, and people will not know where to go by then? !

Xiao Yan naturally knew this.

But the matter has come to this point and cannot be changed, and he can only find another way.

The next day, a number of eagle guards were added to the gates of Yujing. As long as they came out of the city, they had to undergo a strict inspection by the eagle guards. Anyone who found suspicious people would be taken down on the spot.

Not only that, but Xiao Juan also asked Yu Weiwei to draw a portrait of Che Xuekun according to Li Qiao's dictation.

He ordered the portraits to be affixed to the streets and alleys of the city and offered a reward of a thousand taels of silver.

Under the so-called reward, there must be a brave man.

With the temptation of one thousand taels of silver, the people in the city joined the ranks of arresting Che Xuekun.

Che Xuekun has had a hard time these two days.

He hid everywhere like a mouse crossing the street, trying his best to hide his whereabouts, lest anyone find out his identity.

Because he can speak well, and he does have some talent in his belly, since he sneaked into the Dayan Dynasty, it has been smooth sailing, and he has never been so embarrassed as today.

And all this is due to the blessing of Prince Lang!

Che Xuekun was wearing a rough cloth full of puddings, with black ash on his face and the smell of sweat all over his body.

He hid among a group of similarly dressed men.

These men specialize in helping people carry bags on the pier, and they make money for their strength.

It was lunch time, and everyone was sitting together, eating dry food and chatting.

"Have you heard? Zhen Xixi from Luoyi Pavilion is dead!"

"I know about this. Zhen Xixi was forced to death by Yingwei. I heard that the death was tragic."

"What a beautiful girl, it's such a pity to die so young at such a young age."

"The eagle guards are catching people every day. I heard that they are catching a man named Xuekun recently, and they even issued a reward of 1,000 taels!"

As soon as they heard that there were 1,000 taels, the group of men immediately put the matter of Zhen Xixi behind them.

They have discussed it, and when they are ready to finish their work, they will find a portrait to see what that Che Xuekun looks like?

Maybe they were lucky enough to catch that Che Xuekun!

Che Xuekun ate the last mouthful of steamed buns and left the crowd silently.

It looks like this place can't stay any longer.

He had to go somewhere else.

He remembered what those people said just now, Zhen Xixi died, she died to protect him.

Without Prince Lang and the Eagle Guards, Zhen Xixi would not have died, and he would not have been reduced to where he is today.

Che Xuekun clenched his fists and his eyes were fierce.

"King Lang, you made me lose the woman I love, and I won't let you live with your woman!"

In a hidden courtyard in the city.

Shen Junzhi was sitting by the window reading a book, and the wind came in from the window, blowing his black hair.

He raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed softly.

Mo Bao immediately came over and helped close the window.

"Master, your health is not good. The doctor said you can't blow your hair."

He brought a bowl of soup and medicine and handed it to Shen Junzhi.

"It's time for you to take your medicine."

Shen Junzhi frowned, obviously not wanting to drink medicine.

But he also knew that his body had to be supported by decoction.

He picked up the bowl and drank the soup.

Mobao immediately handed over the handkerchief.

Shen Junzhi took the veil and wiped off the decoction on his lips.

Mo Bao: "Young Master, the spies came to report just now that they have found the whereabouts of Che Xuekun. Are we going to send someone to arrest him?"

Shen Junzhi put down the veil and said quietly.

"Don't move him, keep staring at him."

"Here."
