MTL - Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child-Chapter 589 hid

  Chapter 589 Hidden

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

  They escorted grain and grass to Liaodong County.

  Luo Pingsha didn't go to Liaodong County with Xiao Juan this time, he was left in the county 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 go with her. If there are more people, there will be more things. We have to move quickly, so as not to delay the time to leave the city."

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

  Luo Pingsha still remembers the instruction of the king of Langjun before he left. The king of Langjun specially asked him to look at Princess Dianer and try not to let her go out.

  He immediately ran to find Yu Niaoyou.

  Yu Niaoyou and Ling Hai are sorting out the sketches together.

   Seeing Luo Pingsha coming, Yu Niao said quickly.

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

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

  Yu Niaoyou: "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, Prince 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 thinks 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. That place was also 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 movement in the county palace must not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the emperor.

  In the palace.

  After taking the medicine, the old emperor leaned on the soft bed to rest.

  He heard that Princess Langjun had brought a large group of people out of the city, so 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. I 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 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 Lang is escorting food 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 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 was asleep, so he prepared to retreat silently.

  Unexpectedly, the old emperor suddenly spoke 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 pays homage to Your Majesty."

  Old Emperor: "When you returned to Yujing from Liangzhou together with King Langjun, did anything happen on the way?"

  Wei Liao replied truthfully: "We have been traveling smoothly, and nothing has happened."

  Then the old emperor stopped talking.

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

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

   Wei Huai'en is indeed an old man who has served the emperor for many years. He knew the old emperor's temperament well, so he quietly winked at Wei Liao, asking Wei Liao to think carefully.

   Wei Liao could only speak while thinking.

"Weichen's journey back to Beijing was really smooth. He never even met bandits, but he did meet 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 explained in detail how they encountered the water bandits from beginning to end.

  The expression of the old emperor 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 still nodded.

"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 been taken away by King Langjun long ago.

  Wei Liao could only return empty-handed.

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

   "He is hiding."

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

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

   Just as Wei Liao was thinking secretly, he heard the old emperor say 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 step back when he suddenly heard the old emperor add another sentence.

   "Remember, only bring her here."

   Wei Liao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

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

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

   But what the specific relationship is, he really can't guess.

   After 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."

   "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is it?"

  The old emperor spit out three words without hesitation—

   "His life."

  He had long been suspicious of Xiao Juan, but because there was still something for Xiao Juan, he endured it all the time.

   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 will not talk nonsense.
