Chapter 58 Pregnant

When An Wenlin walked out of the East Palace gate, he saw Zheng Rujun who was not far behind him, and couldn't help asking, "When did Yu'er disappear?"

All the people in the palace were watching, Zheng Rujun held the black token tightly in his hand, restraining the jealousy in his heart, "It has been three days, and she lives next to Shizi Yao, how could she leave voluntarily."

The East Palace Token proved to be solid, so she couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to him to question him.

An Wenlin's eyes also fell on the token. This token was indeed worn by the guards of the Eastern Palace, but he knew very well that he had never given such an order.

Just as he was about to speak, a close palace man beside the emperor reminded him outside the palace gate, "Your Highness, Your Majesty should wait in a hurry."

An Wenlin ignored it, walked up to Zheng Rujun and forced her to dodge, his eyes were gloomy, and he ordered sternly, "This is someone deliberately sowing discord, you should hurry up and find Yu'er's whereabouts, and wait for Gu to come back and pay attention."Check the source of this token."

Zheng Rujun looked at his leaving back in doubt, but went back to the palace and called the hidden guards that only the crown prince could use.

Husband and wife are one, and he has already noticed that something is wrong. If she continues to make trouble unreasonably, the position of prince and concubine may not be able to sit securely.

Kunlong Hall, An Wenlin walked around the mountain and river screen in the hall, and saw a tall and slender figure at a glance. The man was dressed in crow blue robes, like a touch of green bamboo in the rain and mist of Cuishan Mountain, and his footsteps stopped.

Why did Yao Xuanci appear here? The fact that he was summoned by his father had something to do with him?

He walked in and stood side by side with Yao Xuanci, "I have seen my father."

The emperor sat upright behind the dragon case, his cloudy eyes fell on An Wenlin, and the corners of his lips drooped in displeasure.

"Yao Shizi's wife, together with her mother and elder brother, has been kidnapped by a group of men in black and disappeared for three days. Do you know about this?"

Also missing for three days.

An Wenlin frowned slightly, and then said, "I don't know about this matter, I only heard that Yao Shizi's wife seems to have never returned to live in the imperial city. As for Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen, I have never heard of it."

He paused, and said directly, "Yao Shizi's wife is missing, why did the emperor summon his son?"

A man's extremely hoarse voice came from beside him, "Because of this."

An Wenlin looked over subconsciously, and saw the familiar token that he had seen just now.

Behind the token is a pair of phoenix eyes that are bloodshot and full of hostility.

"My wife is pregnant, and her delicate body can't be frightened." Yao Xuanci narrowed his eyes dangerously, "If your highness is dissatisfied with your daily actions, you can come here and ask your majesty to come down. I will never say anything cunning, don’t use those dirty methods.”

"Yao Shizi's words are ridiculous."

An Wenlin snatched the token and was annoyed, "How can this token alone prove that it was done by Gu, if Gu wants to threaten your wife, why bother to kidnap your mother-in-law and brother-in-law?This token is used to slander Gu!"

Immediately he asked, "Where did your token come from?"

Mrs. Yao Xuanci's disappearance must have something to do with Yu'er's inexplicable disappearance.

He's hitting back!

"This is evidence of a crime."

Yao Xuanci steadily took the token from his hand, his tone was extremely sharp, "I can trust Your Highness."

"On the day Wen's disappearance, I went to the palace to beg His Majesty, and after searching for many days to no avail, I came here again to beg Your Majesty to save my wife."

"I just want to hear His Highness's explanation."

An Wenlin met the cold scrutiny in his eyes, and a strong killing intent appeared in his heart.

Yao Xuanci is nothing more than the son of the Hou family, the dog nose has been holding on to his dark affairs, and he can't beat him away, and now he is still thinking about throwing dirty water on him, the poisonous arrow should have taken Yao directlyThe life of the proclamation!

"The guards on duty in the East Palace all hold a token in their hands, and their hearts are unpredictable. How does Gu know whether there will be malicious people among these people?"

"How can Yao Shizi prove that this man in black must be from my East Palace?"

Yao Xuanci was expressionless, turned around and looked at the silent emperor in the hall, held the token and bowed his hands, "Your Majesty."

An Wenlin also looked at his father after the dragon case, but he keenly caught the fleeting disappointment on the emperor's face, and he was in a trance for a moment.

What's the matter with father's expression?

The emperor pursed his lips with a sullen face, and waved his hand casually, and the palace servants brought a long wooden case to An Wenlin, "Your Highness, please have a look."

On it was a stack of memorials and a thin piece of paper with a familiar pattern drawn on it.

The emperor leaned on the cushions behind his back, his slightly loose eyelids drooped to cover the tiredness in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "This is the scripture played by the courtiers in the past three months.There is something about embezzlement of disaster relief money."

When the memorial was handed in, he sent someone to confirm it secretly. Coincidentally, Dali Temple was in front of him to investigate, and he got a lot of unexpected news one after another, which made the heart of the lucky emperor cool down a little bit.

He thought it was just the government of Zheng Guo and other factions doing it privately, but he never expected that it included the crown prince's guidance and acquiescence.

The emperor looked at the prince with disappointment in his eyes, "That piece of thin paper is the totem that Yao Shizi traced from the back neck of the man in black, and the dark guard was handed over to you ten years ago.The dark guard has this pattern on his body."

The token is not ironclad evidence, but the pattern is ironclad evidence, because no one except him and the prince knows what the tattoo on the dark guard looks like.

An Wenlin held the thin memorial, which felt as heavy as a thousand catties. He did it so meticulously. Yao Xuanci was stopped by him at the beginning. How could he find these evidences?!

Cold sweat slipped from his forehead, he didn't care about the presence of outsiders, he knelt down with a plop, not daring to look up to see the emperor's expression.

"I have obeyed my father's teachings since I was a child, and I have taught myself to be strict with myself, and never dared to do these things that hurt the people of Li."

"It's the ministers close to me who concealed and deceived them, causing them to commit a heinous crime and retribution on my son. I don't know what happened, so I am wronged." An Wenlin's words were sincere, and he bowed down and kowtowed in a humble begging.

"Father, please give this son a chance to prove his innocence!"

Yao Xuanci lowered his eyes and did not move, his eyes were full of sarcasm, the crown prince actually wanted to shirk his responsibility, these evidences are just the tip of the iceberg in the hands of the emperor, it is obvious that the emperor wanted to give himdown a step.

It's a pity that the prince doesn't know the emperor's painstaking efforts.

The emperor was really disappointed to the extreme. He glanced at the haggard young man standing in the middle of the hall waiting for his results, and rubbed his brows wearily, restraining the anger in his heart.

Because of the personal enmity between the second daughter of the Zheng family and Yao Xuanci, the prince knew that if the affair of the royal family was accompanied by love and hatred, he would anger his ministers, kidnap her and threaten to spread the two things together...

"I just want to ask you, where are Mrs. Wen and her mother and brother now?"

The seven-day water journey was finally over. When Mother Wen got off the boat, she reluctantly looked at the river when she came. Nanny Song suppressed a smile, pursed her lips and took her arm.

"Ma'am, didn't the young master say that he has already written a letter to explain that someone will take care of you for you. Let's just treat it as a trip these days and don't worry about it."

"Is what he found reliable? My shop's account is not easy to manage."

Wen Qiong stood in place and waited for Mother Wen to come over. Hearing this, she looked sideways at her elder brother, "But Mr. Xu?"

"Naturally." Wen Boqing closed his folding fan and stood with his hands behind his back, "Don't underestimate him, his family are all good businessmen, and they suffered a lot from infighting when they separated, otherwise he would be a rich businessman like Lin Jinghao..”

It's just that people with some brains can find business opportunities wherever they go, and if they endure hardships and make progress, they will never be poor.

The people on the boat came down one after another, and at this time the carriage Mo Ya sent to find also arrived. Wen Qiong sat in the carriage and swayed with the bumps of the carriage, remembering something.

"Isn't Suzhou just the hometown of Mr. Xu? He is alone in the imperial city, but his relatives are all in Suzhou?"

Wen Boqing used a fan to cover the curtain of the carriage to cover the air vents, unfolded a soft blanket for Wen Qiong to cover, and said casually, "In Suzhou, my parents are in the hard goods business of cloth and grain, and his sister owns a family doctor."I heard that he has excellent medical skills, and he can be regarded as a well-known doctor in Suzhou."

Wen Qiong narrowed her beautiful shallow pupils, thoughtfully, "Such an outstanding woman, I really want to meet her."

Just as she was speaking, she saw the sky clearly through the gap between the swaying curtains of the horse, she lifted the curtains and called Mo Ya, and soon Mo Ya rode up on her horse.

He approached the carriage, "What's the matter, madam?"

"It's getting dark, do we have a place to rest?"

"Yes, it's a post station after a few miles." Mo Ya smiled brightly and patted his chest, "Madam, don't worry, the subordinates have made arrangements."

"Then what about your son, did you mention what happened to the imperial city?"

Yao Xuanci secretly sent her away. In order to prevent someone from groping for the truth through the letter, he never sent the letter, but he had a mysterious way to communicate with Mo Ya.

"His Royal Highness was advised by the courtiers that he has been under house arrest for several days, and Zheng Guogong's mansion has also been searched, and the imperial city is in chaos."

Wen Qiong nodded, then looked back, wondering, "Who were you talking to in the last carriage just now?"

She caught a glimpse of Mo Ya riding a horse, tilting his head close to the carriage, as if he was talking to the people in the carriage.

"There is a hidden guard in the carriage behind to make up for sleep." Mo Ya said with a smile, without blushing, "This subordinate is reminding him to change shifts at the station."

Wen Qiong frowned when she heard the words, and said softly, "Since you have to keep watch at night, then don't disturb other people's rest. Winter nights are hard and sleepy."

Mo Ya nodded sharply, "This subordinate understands, but let's not mess with her."

As long as Second Miss Zheng is honest, don't start to struggle and toss when she's full. This land route is no worse than the cabin on the lowest floor, where a little movement is easy to reveal.

But it's all about disembarking, why are these two girls still getting seasick and nauseous?

Mo Ya held the reins and followed Wen Qiong's carriage closely, thoughtfully, or else... waited until the post station to see if a doctor came to check his pulse.

Arriving at the post station soon, Wen Qiong staggered all the way in the carriage, and when he relaxed after eating and washing, tiredness popped out of his body.

A Yao pinched her swollen legs and feet for a while, then fell into a drowsy sleep, not even knowing that Mother Wen came to tuck her in the quilt.

The bell rang in the middle of the night, and the people who finally rested after driving for a long time fell into a deep sleep. The guard on duty sat on the eaves, counting the stars and looking at the moon, and heard a few scattered footsteps.A little old man entered the post building with a medicine box in one hand.

Mo Ya silently signaled the old doctor to keep his voice down, walked over the second floor where Wen Qiong lived, stepped on the wooden ladder to the innermost room on the fourth floor, unlocked the door and dragged the old doctor in.

As soon as he closed the door and turned his head, he met the woman on the couch with eyes that seemed to be murderous, Mo Ya was used to touching his nose.

"Miss Zheng Er hasn't slept yet?"

He pushed the old doctor closer, and said with a smile, "This subordinate sees that you haven't been able to eat well or sleep well these days, so I'll find a doctor to show you."

The young master said that the second girl is still of great use, but she must be watched carefully, so don't ask her to commit suicide.

But after these days, Mo Ya feels that if the second girl is going to die, she must drag him to die together.

Zheng Ruyu not only wanted to drag Mo Ya to die together, she wished that Yao Xuanci and Wen Qiong, who lived in the same inn, would strip their skins and drink their blood.

She was born arrogant and reckless, she was favored by thousands of people, and she wanted whatever she wanted, but these two people crushed her whole body into the mud, Zheng Ruyu had never suffered such a shame and humiliation!

Zheng Ruyu was full of thoughts that when she returned to the imperial city, she would never dislike the position of the crown prince's side concubine again. She would personally cut open Wen's belly in front of Yao Xuanci, and throw that little bastard to death in front of them.!

The woman's fox eyes were full of deep-seated hatred, and the old doctor was so frightened that he trembled and stretched out his hand under her death gaze.

In the end, he hesitated for a while, and didn't call out the lady, but imitated Mo Ya and said, "This second girl is more than one month pregnant."

With just this one sentence, dare not say anything again, wishing could go home where left off.
