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

After Shen Zhuo listened to Yu Niaoyou say those things during the day, he was full of doubts.

After he returned to the palace, he contacted the commander of the dark guard in private.

He handed over a female corpse that was very similar to Yu Niaoyao, and asked the commander of the hidden guards to shave her face, and then took the head to the old emperor.

The fact is not as expected by Shen Zhuo, the old emperor's old eyes were dim, and he couldn't see the abnormality of the female corpse's head. In addition, he had no doubts in the commander of the dark guard, so he thought that Yu Niaozhen was really dead.

"Send it out of the palace for burial."

"Here."

The leader of the dark guard left the palace with his head in his hand.

He was relieved to have passed the test smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the prince appearing in front of him again.

He quickly looked around to make sure there was no one around before speaking.

"There are many people in the palace, so it is better for His Highness the Crown Prince not to meet with his subordinates as much as possible."

On weekdays, if it is not necessary, Shen Zhuo will not contact the commander of the hidden guard.

But today he really has too many doubts.

These doubts were backlogged in his heart, if he didn't get an answer, he might not be able to sleep the whole night tonight.

Shen Zhuo said in a low voice: "Gu came to ask you something, and left after asking."

Commander of the Dark Guard: "Please tell me."

Shen Zhuo: "I know that the father was silenced because you knew a secret of his. What is the secret she knew?"

Commander of the Dark Guard: "..."

Shen Zhuo stared at him: "You must know."

Commander of the Dark Guard: "It's better that you don't know these things."

His attitude made Shen Zhuo confirm the guess in his heart.

Shen Zhuo's voice was a little unsteady: "Father, he...he is not of the orthodox royal blood, right?"

Commander of the Dark Guard: "..."

If he didn't speak, it was tantamount to acquiescing.

Even though he had expected it, Shen Zhuo still couldn't help being greatly shocked at this moment.

It took him a while to regain his sanity and continue to ask.

"Aside from Yu Niao, who else knows about this?"

Commander of the hidden guards: "The Empress Dowager."

Shen Zhuo asked: "What else?"

The commander of the hidden guard hesitated for a while before saying, "The insiders from back then have all been silenced."

Just as Shen Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the commander of the dark guard say again.

"But in the process of tracing the truth, Yu Niaoyao learned of this secret, and the person who pursued this matter with her is Prince Lang."

Shen Zhuo's heart tightened: "That means Xiao Juan also knows this secret?"

The commander of the hidden guards: "Your Highness, don't worry, the emperor has already sent someone to chase and kill King Langjun, and it is impossible for him to come back alive."

Only then did Shen Zhuo relax.

He urged: "Don't tell anyone about it, not even my grandfather."

The commander of the dark guard nodded: "Here."

...

At this moment, Shen Zhuo didn't want to tell the truth when facing Yu Nianiao's questioning.

But when he thought of how she cared about Xiao Juan just now, an unknown fire burned in his heart.

He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking chuckle.

"Isn't Gu's explanation clear enough? Xiao Juan touched the reverse scale of his father. His father has sent someone to take his life. There is no way he will reach Liaodong County alive. You will never see him again in this life." .”

He thought that after hearing the news, Yu Niaolang would be so anxious that she would even break down and cry.

But in fact, after a short period of astonishment, Yu Niao quickly calmed down.

She said firmly.

"Ah Juan won't die."

Her reaction disappointed Shen Zhuo, and at the same time made the anger in his heart more intense.

His tone was full of malice: "No matter how strong Xiao Juan's martial arts are, but he can't beat four hands with two fists, it is impossible for him to escape the pursuit of so many masters. He is doomed this time."

Yu Niaolong still said the same thing.

"He won't die."

Shen Zhuo didn't understand: "Where did you get the confidence? Why do you think he won't die?"

Yu Niaolong: "Because he is Xiao Juan."

Shen Zhuo was annoyed by her attitude.

"Okay, then let's make a bet to see if Xiao Juan can come back alive?"

Yu Niao: "If I win the bet, you will let me go."

Shen Zhuo: "If Gu wins, you have to completely forget about Xiao Juan."

Yu Niaolong: "Okay."

Shen Zhuo provoked her intentionally: "I hope you won't deny it when the time comes."

Yu Youyou retorted: "I should have said this to you."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was going to sleep.

Shen Zhuo stood up and walked out.

He stood on the porch, looked at the snow-covered vegetation in the courtyard, thought for a moment, called a guard, and ordered.

"Take someone to Langjun Prince's Mansion to see if all the people in the mansion are there?"

"Here."

The figure of the guard quickly disappeared into the vast night.

With one hand behind his back, Shen Zhuo had a bad premonition in his heart.

Just now, Yu Niaoyou's confident appearance made him suspicious. Could it be that Xiao Juan had expected this day?

If this is the case, Xiao Juan must have been on guard for a long time.

Shen Zhuo never dared to underestimate Xiao Juan. This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a deep mind. If he had prepared himself, it would not be so easy to take his life.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Zhuo was rewarded by his guards.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, all the people in Langjun Palace have disappeared."

Shen Zhuo's heart sank, as expected!

"Do you know where they went?" he asked.

The guard reported the truth: "I heard that they went out of the city to go to another courtyard with the princess of the county two days ago, but they didn't come back after that trip."

Shen Zhuo: "Have you checked the other courtyard outside the city?"

The guard quickly said: "Your subordinates have already checked, and there is no one in the other courtyard, and the luggage, carriages and horses are also gone."

Shen Zhuo put his hands behind his back and didn't speak for a long time.

It seems that he was right in his prediction, Yu Niao has already made arrangements, it is possible that just as soon as she was taken away by the Sirius Guards, those people from the County Prince's Mansion ran away overnight with their luggage on their backs.

As for the direction in which they fled, one can guess without even thinking about it. They must have gone after Xiao Juan.

There are so many people in the Prince's Mansion, when they reconcile with Xiao Juan, Xiao Juan will know what happened in the capital, and he will definitely increase his vigilance. The assassins sent by the emperor will most likely fail.

Thinking about this, a plan emerged in Shen Zhuo's mind.

A perfect plan that can not only make Niao Niao completely devoted to him, but also get rid of Xiao Juan.

he ordered in a low voice.

"The order will go on, and from now on, additional manpower will be sent to each city gate to strictly investigate those who enter the city."

The guard asked tentatively, "Is your Highness looking for someone?"

Shen Zhuo looked up at the blue sky.

There is no snow today, and the sky is as blue as washing.

"If King Langjun comes back, send a letter to Gu immediately."

The guard was very surprised: "Your Highness thinks that Prince Lang will return to Yujing?"

Shen Zhuo curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said slowly.

"His beloved woman is in danger, how could he not come back?"
