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

Early the next morning, Xiao Juan left Yujing with his troops.

They escorted grain and grass to Liaodong County.

Luo Pingsha did not go to Liaodong County with Xiao Juan this time, he was left in the Prince's Mansion and was responsible for protecting Niao Niao's safety.

Early this morning, he saw that people in the county palace were busy moving things out, so he couldn't help asking.

"Where are you going?"

A servant replied truthfully: "The princess of the county said that she wanted to live in another courtyard outside the city for a period of time tomorrow. Let us all follow. When there are more people, there will be more things. We have to move quickly, so as not to delay the time to go out of the city."

After speaking, he carried a big box and walked out.

Luo Pingsha still remembered the instruction of King Langjun before he left. King Langjun specially asked him to look at Princess Dianerjun and try not to let her go out.

He immediately ran to look for Yu Niaoning.

Yu Niao is finishing the drawing with Ling Hai at the moment.

Seeing Luo Pingsha coming, Yu Niao said quickly.

"We're leaving in the afternoon, Xiao Luo, hurry up and pack up. Don't forget to bring your usual things."

Luo Pingsha was puzzled: "That's fine, why do you suddenly want to live in another courtyard outside the city?"

Yu Niaolong: "His Royal Highness is not at home, I am bored to be alone, and want to go outside the city to get some air."

Luo Pingsha: "But Prince Lang ordered you not to go out..."

Yu Niao put down the drawing, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily.

"I'm the princess of the county, and I'm not a prisoner of your justice department. Why don't you let me go out?"

Luo Pingsha: "Don't get me wrong, Duke Lang is worried about your safety, afraid that you will encounter accidents when you go out."

Yu Niaoyou retorted confidently.

"I didn't go out alone. There are so many of us, what accidents can happen? Take a step back and say, even if you really meet bad people, can't so many of you still protect me?"

Luo Pingsha thought so, besides him, there are nearly a hundred guards in the mansion.

With so many people here, protecting the safety of the princess is definitely not a problem.

Besides, they didn't go to any remote place, they just went to another courtyard outside the city, and that place was considered the territory of the county prince's mansion, and everyone was very familiar with it.

So Luo Pingsha didn't say anything, and went back to pack his luggage honestly.

After lunch, the whole family got into the carriage and left Yujing in a mighty way, heading for the other courtyard outside the city.

Such a big commotion in the county palace must not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the emperor.

In the palace.

After the old emperor took the medicine, he rested on the soft bed.

When he heard that Princess Langjun had brought a large group of people out of the city, he couldn't help opening his eyes.

"Where are they going?"

Wei Huai'en bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

"Returning to Your Majesty, after the people from the Prince's Mansion left the city, they went to Prince Lang's other courtyard outside the city, and they heard that they were going to live there for a while."

Knowing that they just went to another courtyard outside the city, the old emperor relaxed.

Wei Huai'en had served the old emperor for many years, and after seeing the old emperor's reaction, he realized what the old emperor was worried about, and said proactively.

"Your Majesty, please put it down. The slaves have been secretly watching the people in the county palace, and they will never be allowed to stay too far away from Yujing."

Now that King Langjun escorted the grain and grass to Liaodong County, in order to prevent him from colluding with Tang Guixi, he must keep a close eye on the people in the Prince's Mansion, and he can use them as hostages to hold Prince Lang back when necessary.

The old emperor nodded slightly: "Yes."

Wei Huai'en waited for a while, seeing that the old emperor hadn't spoken for a long time, he thought he had fallen asleep, so he prepared to retreat silently.

Unexpectedly, the old emperor suddenly said in the next moment,

"Call Wei Liao over, I have something to ask him."

"Here."

Not long after, Wei Liao came to the bedroom.

He knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists together: "My minister greets His Majesty."

The old emperor: "When you returned to Yujing from Liangzhou together with you, Prince Lang, did anything happen on the way?"

Wei Liao replied truthfully: "We traveled smoothly, and nothing happened."

Then the old emperor stopped talking.

He closed his eyes, as if resting his mind, but he didn't say a word to make Wei Liao retreat.

Feeling apprehensive, Wei Liao quietly raised his head and looked at Wei Huai'en who was standing beside him.

Wei Huai'en was indeed an old man who had served the emperor for many years. He knew the old emperor's temperament well, so he quietly winked at Wei Liao to make Wei Liao think again.

Wei Liao could only speak while thinking.

"Weichen's journey back to Beijing was indeed very smooth. He had never encountered bandits, but he did encounter water bandits, but those water bandits died a long time ago, and the entire water bandit village was burned down. Other than that, there's really nothing wrong."

The old emperor slowly opened his eyes: "Water bandits?"

Seeing this, Wei Liao knew that he had finally reached the point, and immediately told the story of their encounter with the water bandits from beginning to end.

The old emperor's expression became very strange.

"You mean, Xiao Juan not only took away the emerald bracelet, but also took away the charred corpse?"

Wei Liao didn't understand why the old emperor cared about such a trivial matter, but he nodded anyway.

"right."

The old emperor: "Where is that charred corpse now?"

Wei Liao: "It should be in the Department of Justice."

The old emperor immediately ordered Wei Liao to go to the Justice Department to bring the charred corpse into the palace.

But when Wei Liao rushed to the Justice Department with the Sirius Guard, he found that the charred corpse had disappeared. After asking, he found out that the charred corpse had already been taken away by King Langjun.

Wei Liao could only return empty-handed.

After the old emperor learned of this, his expression became more and more unpredictable.

"He's hiding it."

Wei Liao didn't understand, a nameless charred corpse, what's there to hide?

But looking at the old emperor like this, it seems that the origin of the charred corpse is very unusual.

Just when Wei Liao was thinking secretly, he heard the old emperor speak calmly.

"Go to another courtyard outside the city and bring Princess Langjun here. I have something to ask her."

"Here."

Wei Liao was about to retreat when he suddenly heard the old emperor add another sentence.

"Remember, bring her here alone."

Wei Liao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

If it was just an ordinary question, the old emperor would not specifically ask Yu Niaoyou to be alone.

Combined with what happened before, Wei Liao guessed that this matter might have something to do with the charred corpse of unknown origin.

But what is the specific relationship, he really can't figure it out.

When Wei Liao retreated, the old emperor ordered someone to call for a confidant general.

"You take a team and catch up with Xiao Juan's team as soon as possible."

General: "Does Your Majesty have any orders that I need to convey to King Langjun?"

The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "I have raised Xiao Juan for many years and treated him as my own. Now it's time for him to repay me. I need what he has and hope he can hand it over."

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is it?"

The old emperor spit out three words without haste——

"His life."

He had long been suspicious of Xiao Juan, but because there was still something Xiao Juan could use, he kept holding back.

But now, his biggest secret has been known by Xiao Juan.

Then we can only send Xiao Juan on the road as soon as possible.

In this world, only the dead don't talk nonsense.
