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

After Xiao Juan sent Yu Curly back to the palace, he immediately rushed to the Justice Department without stopping.

The officials sent by Honglu Temple had already arrived at the Justice Department, and as soon as Xiao Juan appeared, they immediately started the interrogation of the two Chen Kingdom officials.

The trial went into the evening.

By the time Xiao Fan returned to the county palace, it was already midnight.

Yu curling just finished painting the portraits of the queen and the little mute, and when she saw Xiao Yan came back, she asked.

"Hungry? I'll go get some supper."

Seeing that she was too tired to open her eyes, Xiao Jian whispered.

"You're not hungry, let's go to sleep."

"Oh."

The two simply took a shower and went to bed.

At this time, Yu curling was already very sleepy, and her upper eyelids kept pressing down, but she still asked vigorously.

"Have those two Chen Kingdom officials explained it?"

Xiao Lian hugged her and whispered.

"Well, they have said everything they know, and they can testify that Shen Rui once quietly met with Han Chengxi in the middle of the night, although they did not hear the content of the conversation between the two, but they heard from the entourage around Han Chengxi, Han Chengxi told Shen Ray made a deal and the two exchanged tokens for it."

Yu curled up a little bit of spirit: "What token?"

If you can find the token, you will have all the evidence and evidence. How can Shen Rui deny it? !

Xiao Lian: "The two Chen Kingdom officials don't know what token they are. According to my guess, it should be something that can represent their respective identities. I will report the matter to the emperor tomorrow, and ask the emperor to order a search of the Sixth Prince's Mansion."

Yu curled up looking forward to tomorrow.

As long as the sixth prince can be convicted of the crime, the case of Concubine Yue's murder that year should also be solved.

It seems that everything can come to an end.

...

In order to gain the initiative, the first thing Shen Rui did after returning to Yujing was to go to the palace to complain to the emperor, saying that Gong Xiao Juan had avenged his personal revenge and planned to murder the mission of Chen Guo on the way to his relatives, which not only caused the deterioration of the relationship between the two countries, but also made a mess. Lost Princess Tao Ran.

He spoke so clearly, and the emperor believed his words to some extent.

But after returning to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, Shen Rui was still uneasy.

He had a bad feeling about it.

After learning that Prince Lang and his party had returned, Shen Rui immediately ordered someone to investigate, but was told that Prince Lang brought back a lot of assassin corpses this time, as well as two Chen Kingdom officials.

And that afternoon, the emperor dispatched officials from Honglu Temple to the Department of Justice, obviously to assist the King of Langjun in interrogating the two officials of Chen State.

Shen Rui's unease became stronger and stronger.

It was dark outside, but Shen Rui didn't feel sleepy. With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth in the house, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of worry.

How to do how to do? What should he do next?

At this time, the butler came in and said respectfully.

"Sixth Highness, Concubine Shu Gui sent someone over and said that she has something to tell you."

Shen Rui immediately said, "Bring someone here quickly."

After a while the housekeeper brought back a little eunuch.

When the little eunuch raised his head, Shen Rui saw the other party's whole face clearly, and found that the other party turned out to be Willow Branch!

Liuzhi saw the surprise and confusion in Shen Rui's heart, and took the initiative to explain.

"The identity of a palace maid is not easy to leave the palace, but the noble concubine is not worried about handing over this matter to others, so she can only ask the servants to change into the clothes of eunuchs and go out of the palace."

Shen Rui suddenly realized.

To make the mother-in-law take so much trouble, there must be something very important to tell him.

He glanced at the butler.

The housekeeper understood, lowered his head and exited, but did not go far, but stayed outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching the room.

Inside the house, Shen Rui asked impatiently.

"What does the mother-in-law want to say to me? Has she figured out a way to deal with it?"

Willow sighed, with deep helplessness in her tone.

"The concubine said that the situation has now gotten out of control, and she has no choice."

Shen Rui opened his eyes in disbelief.

How could this be? Not even the mother-in-law could do anything about it.

Isn't he dead? !

Liu Zhi continued: "The concubine asked you to leave Yujing at dawn tomorrow, and go to Hexi County to hide first. Hexi County is the territory of the Shu family. With the protection of the Shu family, your safety is not a problem."

Shen Rui was unwilling: "But I can't hide for the rest of my life, can I?"

Willow branch painstakingly persuaded.

"The concubine's meaning is to let you avoid the limelight in Hexi County first.

When the limelight passes, maybe the emperor's anger will go down.

After all, you are your own father and son, and the tiger poison does not eat your son, so the emperor should not kill you cruelly.

At that time, as long as you admit your mistake well, you should be fine. "

Shen Rui was still worried.

"What if the emperor refuses to forgive me? What if he insists on killing me?"

Willow branch lowered his voice a bit.

"If the emperor is really ruthless, you can only leave Dayan and go to Chen Kingdom to hide.

Don't you still have a token of the Ninth Prince of Chen Kingdom in your hand?

You take that token and go to Chen Country to find him, presumably he will take you in. "

Shen Rui was very reluctant.

"But if this happens, won't I have to live my life in the future?"

Willow Zhi sighed again: "It's a very sad day to look up to people, but at least you can save your life. As long as the green hills are left, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood in the future."

Seeing that Shen Rui was still hesitant, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The Sixth Prince had some ambitions, but he didn't have enough decision-making power. He was always hesitant when he encountered things. Therefore, many of his affairs were decided by Concubine Shu Gui.

If the Sixth Prince could be smarter and act more decisively, maybe he and Concubine Shu would not be reduced to where they are today.

Sadly these are just assumptions.

At this point, they can't go back.

Willow branch took out a letter from his bosom.

"The concubine knows that it is difficult for you to make up your mind. This is her handwritten letter to you, you can see for yourself."

She offered the letter with both hands, and finally, under the cover of the night, quietly left the Sixth Prince's Mansion.

Shen Rui opened the letter and pulled out a thin piece of paper.

The paper is densely filled with words.

It was all written by Concubine Shu Gui's exhortation to Shen Rui, and the strong reluctance almost overflowed the paper.

At the end of the letter, Concubine Shu said that she would bear everything, so that she might never see Shen Rui again in the future.

If there is an afterlife, I hope they can still be mother and son.

It was a farewell letter.

Shen Rui's mood completely collapsed, he pressed the letter to his heart and cried uncontrollably.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Juan left the palace.

He entered the palace to meet the emperor, and presented the confessions of two Chen Kingdom officials.

The matter has come to this point, the emperor can't even doubt Shen Rui.

He immediately ordered a search of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and ordered Shen Rui and Concubine Shu to leave to meet him.

Unexpectedly, when the Eagle Guards rushed into the Sixth Prince's Mansion, they found that the Sixth Prince had long since disappeared.
