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

Wei Liao watched Yu Niaoyou walk into the bedroom.

The door opened and closed, completely blocking his view.

However, he still stood firmly in place, with no intention of moving.

After a while, Wei Huai'en led the palace people out of the bedroom.

Seeing Wei Liao's distraught look, Wei Huaien couldn't help frowning.

He waved his hand, making the palace people retreat.

After everyone left, Wei Huai'en asked.

"Why are you still here?"

Wei Liao didn't answer but instead asked, "How does the emperor plan to deal with her?"

Wei Wynn warned solemnly: "This is not something you should ask."

If it was normal, Wei Liao would definitely follow his father's teachings, but at this time he seemed to be bewitched by something, and his heart was full of worries about Yu Niao.

he asked stubbornly.

"Is the emperor planning to take her life?"

Wei Huaien lowered his face: "Wei Liao, have you forgotten your identity?!"

Wei Liao looked bitter: "I know I have no right to meddle in the emperor's affairs."

Wayne: "Then you still ask?"

Wei Liao was speechless.

Wei Huaien continued to stab him in the heart: "Even if you know everything, what can you do? Do you dare to snatch him back from the emperor? "

Wei Liao's originally straight back gradually bent down, as if his whole body's energy had been drained.

Yes, he is nothing more than a lackey raised by the emperor.

He can't even control his own life, so what can he do to protect Yu Niaomiao?

Forget it, stop humiliating yourself.

Seeing the dim light in Wei Liao's eyes, Wei Huai'en couldn't bear it, but reason made him swallow the words of comfort, and reprimanded him with a straight face.

"Stop standing here, hurry back!"

Wei Liao turned around silently, without an umbrella, just strode into the snowy night, letting large flakes of snow fall on his head and face.

A biting chill enveloped him, but he didn't respond.

Wei Huai'en looked at his receding back, and heaved a long sigh.

After all, he is still too young and easily influenced by emotions. I hope he can calm down after returning and stop being confused.

After Wei Liao left the palace, he rode a horse on the empty and quiet street.

He was at war with man and heaven in his heart, rationality told him to stop meddling in Yu Lingiao's business, but his feelings made him unable to truly let go.

When reaching the crossroads, Velio reined in the reins, and the horse stopped.

He closed his eyes, trying to get rid of distracting thoughts and regain his composure.

But Yu Niaoying's figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

She smiled at him and said—

"Thank you."

Wei Liao opened his eyes and cursed secretly.

As if giving up on himself, he gave up the struggle, flicked the rein, turned his horse, and galloped towards the fork on the right.

Da da da!

The rushing sound of horseshoes wafted through the silent snowy night.

On the way, they met patrolling officers and soldiers. They saw someone riding a horse in the city at night, and they were about to go up to arrest him, but they found that the rider was Wei Liao, the deputy commander of the Sirius Guard.

They immediately gave up the idea of ​​arresting people, and hurriedly stepped aside to make way for them.

Wei Liao came near the Prince's Mansion on horseback.

He jumped off the horse, looked left and right, made sure that no one was following him, then performed lightness kung fu to climb over the wall, and entered the Prince's Mansion silently.

Shen Zhuo has just finished taking a bath, but he hasn't slept yet.

He was wearing loose snow-colored pajamas, sitting behind the desk, quietly looking at the scroll in his hand by the bright candlelight.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the window of the study.

"His Royal Highness."

Shen Zhuo immediately put down the scroll and looked towards the window vigilantly.

With a creak, the window was pulled open from the outside.

Wei Liao was standing outside the window.

His hair and shoulders were already covered with snow, and his face was frozen white. In the dark night, he did not look like a living person.

Suddenly an outsider appeared in front of him, but Shen Zhuo didn't panic at all.

He frowned and asked, "In the middle of the night, how dare you trespass into the Prince's Mansion? Are you trying to rebel?"

Wei Liao opened his mouth and let out a breath of hot air, his voice changed slightly due to the cold.

"Sorry, I can't do anything about it in an emergency. I can only make a bad move. I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive me."

Shen Zhuo and Wei Liao have met several times, but there is almost no contact between them, let alone friendship.

So Shen Zhuo was both surprised and curious, what is the important matter that made Wei Liao break into the Prince's Mansion single-handedly in the middle of the night regardless of his own safety?

Shen Zhuo didn't intend to let the other party into the room, so he asked quietly.

"What's the matter with you?"

Wei Liao: "Yu Niao was summoned to the palace by the emperor, I guess the emperor wanted to kill her."

Shen Zhuo's face changed drastically immediately.

"how is this possible?"

Wei Liao: "I don't know the exact reason. I guess Yu Niaoyou should know something she shouldn't know. The emperor wants to kill her to silence her. If you don't want her to die, go to the palace as soon as possible to save her."

Shen Zhuo: "Why does Gu believe in you?"

Wei Liao: "Believe it or not."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Zhuo hurriedly opened the door and chased him out.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

When he ran out, he was gone.

The courtyard is quiet, as if no one has ever been there.

Only a series of footprints left under the eaves proved that everything just now was not an illusion.

Shen Zhuo went over what Wei Liao said just now in his heart several times, and finally his worry about Niao Niao prevailed.

What if what Wei Liao said is true?

It's about the life of Ling Ling, I can only believe it or not!

Shen Zhuo shouted: "Come here!"

Soon, two eunuchs hurried over.

When they saw the prince was only wearing a thin pajamas, they hurriedly found a cloak to put on him.

Shen Zhuo pushed the person away and said in a deep voice.

"Prepare the horse, I will enter the palace alone!"

...

In the bedroom.

All the eunuchs and maids went out, only Yu Niao and the old emperor were left in the room.

The earth dragon in the house was burning very vigorously, and Yu Niaoyou started sweating not long after he came in.

She was riding on a horse before, and she was very cold, and her clothes were still wet at this moment.

It's so hot and cold for a while, the change is too big, and the body will inevitably be a little overwhelmed.

Yu Niaoyou felt her head hurt a little and her nose was also a little congested.

These are all symptoms of a cold.

The old emperor was leaning on the soft couch, his lower body covered with a thick and soft silk quilt.

He looked at Yu Niao and asked.

"Do you know why I want to see you?"

Yu Niao shook her head: "My wife doesn't know."

The old emperor was not annoyed when he saw her pretending to be stupid.

To him, a mere Yu Niao is like an ant under his feet, as long as he lifts his foot casually, he can easily trample her to death.

Therefore, the old emperor didn't even bother to guess what was in her heart.

He went straight to the point and asked straight to the point.

"Where did you hide that charred corpse?"

He thought that Yu Niao would continue to pretend to be stupid, or he would refuse to admit it.

In the end, she heard her reply calmly——

"It turns out that His Majesty wanted the charred corpse. Now that His Majesty has asked, my wife naturally dare not hide it, but before my wife can answer your question, could you please answer a few questions from my wife?"
