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

Yu curling expressed very puzzled.

"Since the elder sister is so good, why did you choose the younger sister in the end?"

Aunt Xiuyan shook her head: "I don't know about slaves either."

Yu curl remembered the scar on Li Niang's face and tried to ask.

"Could it be related to the disfigurement of my sister?"

Even if Li Niang was born too beautiful when she was young, once her face was ruined, she would never have the chance to enter the palace again.

Madam Xiuyan was surprised: "Miss Deng's disfigurement? This slave has never heard of this."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered.

"By the way, the slaves did hear some rumors back then,

It is said that the eldest miss of the Deng family has contracted a serious disease, cannot see anyone, and will be sent back to Luzhou for recuperation.

But these are just rumors, I can't tell the truth from the fake, the slaves just listen to them, don't take it to heart.

Later, the two daughters of the Deng family were invited by Meng Taifei to the palace to taste tea, which further confirmed that the rumors were all nonsense. "

Yu curled up and asked, "Are you sure that the two daughters of the Deng family have entered the palace?"

Madam Xiuyan was not so sure: "This slave has only heard about it, but has not seen it with her own eyes, so there should be nothing wrong with it."

Seeing Yu curling's dignified face, she couldn't help but ask.

"Is this important?"

Yu Weiwei nodded: "Very important!"

Madam Xiuyan: "Please give the servant some time and let the servant think about it."

Yu curling: "Please."

She and Luo Pingsha had lunch before continuing to study the charred corpse.

This time, they are going to start from scratch and carefully check every part of the scorched corpse.

As a result, they really discovered something unusual—

The charred corpse had six toes on its left foot.

Because the corpse was burned at high temperature and severely charred, the fingers and toes showed a tendency to curl up and stick together tightly.

If they hadn't searched carefully from beginning to end, they might never have found the charred corpse's left foot with one more toe than the average person.

Yu curling immediately recorded this discovery in the autopsy report.

Judging from the current clues, Jiao Shi suffered from severe rheumatism and heart and lung diseases before his death, and had six toes on his left foot.

These are his personal characteristics that can be important clues to verify his identity.

At this moment, Aunt Xiuyan came over.

She was very apologetic.

"I'm sorry, but the slaves are still not sure whether the two sisters of the Deng family all entered the palace."

Yu Weiwei said in a warm voice, "Don't worry, you've already helped me a lot."

Mother Xiuyan: "Really?"

Yu curling: "The words you said have verified some of my conjectures from the side, and they are indeed very helpful to me."

Aunt Xiuyan laughed: "That's good, by the way, just now, Mr. Deng sent someone to the Prince's Mansion, saying that there is something very important to discuss with you and His Royal Highness, and I would like to invite you to visit Deng's Mansion as soon as possible. ."

As soon as he heard this, Yu curling immediately said.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Deng's house."

Luo Pingsha followed closely: "I'll go with you."

"Um."

Madam Xiuyan hurriedly said, "Aren't you waiting for His Royal Highness to go with you?"

Yu Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, Deng Yuchuan suddenly hurriedly called them to go over, she must have found clues about Li Niang, and she must go there immediately.

"When His Royal Highness comes back, tell him that we went to Deng's house."

After she finished speaking, she hurried out with Luo Pingsha.

The two ride horses to feel the Deng House.

The door of Deng Mansion was closed, and the front door was deserted and empty.

Luo Pingsha stepped forward and patted the door.

Soon the door was pulled open from inside.

It was a guard who opened the door. When he saw that the people who came were Princess Langjun and Luo Pingsha, he immediately said.

"My master has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

Yu Curly and Luo Pingsha stepped over the high threshold and strode in.

The guard led them across the front yard and straight to the study.

Deng Luyun is like a door god, quietly guarding the door.

he said seriously.

"Grandpa said, only Princess Princess can go in."

Yu curled his head and said to Luo Pingsha, who was following behind him.

"You wait for me outside."

"Here."

Yu Yuchuan pushed open the door and walked into the study, and saw Deng Yuchuan sitting in a chair, with a dirty mahogany box quietly placed on the desk in front of him.

Deng Yuchuan seemed to have just cried, his eyes were red.

He looked at the mahogany box in front of him in a trance, his eyes seemed to penetrate the box, and he saw a person or thing from a long time ago, full of nostalgia and reluctance.

Yu curling didn't show any courtesy to him, and asked, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Deng Yuchuan raised his right hand and pointed to the mahogany box in front of him.

"This is the box I dug out from under the laurel tree."

Yu curled over and saw that the mahogany box had been opened, and there were two folded papers lying quietly inside.

She glanced at Deng Yuchuan.

Deng Yuchuan: "Prince Princess, please do it yourself."

Only then did Yu Curly stretch out his hand and pick up the thin piece of rice paper.

Unfold the paper and enter the first line of words, which means—

It hasn't been many years, how is my brother?

Yu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that Deng Yuchuan had only two younger sisters, one of whom was the Empress Dowager Deng. She would definitely not write a letter to Deng Yuchuan in this way, so the only possibility left was that the letter came from Li Niang's hand!

Without waiting for her to ask, Deng Yuchuan took the initiative to give the answer.

"This is Li Niang's handwritten letter."

Back then, when Deng Yuchuan was about to leave the Deng family and head to the border, Li Niang cried very sadly. Her mother passed away early, and her brother became the closest person to rely on at home.

She was reluctant to let her brother go, and she did not want to be separated from her brother.

In order to comfort his sister, Deng Yuchuan planted a sapling of a pear tree behind her boudoir.

He promised his sister that he would come back when the pear tree bears fruit.

Li Niang treasures the pear tree very much. Every time she writes a letter to her brother, she never forgets to mention the growth of the pear tree at the end of the letter.

Deng Yuchuan knew in his heart that his sister was reminding him not to forget his promise.

Unfortunately, he finally missed the appointment.

The pear tree blooms and bears fruit every year, but the return date of the elder brother is far away.

When Deng Yuchuan arrived here today, he found a pear tree in the courtyard.

It reminded him of his sister he hadn't seen in years.

At that time, Li Niang complained to her brother in her book at home and asked him why he didn't go home yet.

She also got angry and said that if she died one day, she would bury her suicide note under the pear tree.

Don't forget to go under the pear tree to find the letter when your brother comes home.

Scenes from the past came to my mind.

Deng Yuchuan didn't know what was going on at the time, but suddenly he had the urge to urge his grandson to dig up the soil under the pear tree.

As a result, he really dug up a mahogany box.

There is a letter in the box.

Even after many years, Deng Yuchuan can still recognize at a glance that the letter is Li Niang's handwriting.

It was a joke back then, but now it's true.

Intense grief surged out, making the gray-haired old man cry.

He sobbed.

"I'm sorry Li Niang. If I could go home earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer so much, and she wouldn't have to die at the hands of others."
