Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child Chapter 159

   Chapter 159 Under the reward, there must be a brave man

  Xiao Juan walked slowly into the main room, only to see Yu Weiwei lying on the table dozing off.

   She didn't know what she was dreaming, so she snorted twice, and there was an indistinct humming sound in her throat.

   Angelica saw that Prince Lang was back, and hurriedly stood up, ready to open his mouth to call someone, but Prince Lang raised his hand to stop him.

   He took off the cloak on his body and draped it lightly over Yu curling up.

  Yu Weiwei felt the weight on her body and woke up all of a sudden.

   She sat up and rubbed her eyes.

   When she saw the man standing in front of her, she instantly woke up and called out in surprise.

   "Your Royal Highness, you are finally back!"

   Xiao Yan sat down beside her and asked, "Have you been waiting for this king to come back?"

  Yu Weiwei nodded: "Yes, you have been in the palace for so long and have not come back, we are very worried about you."

   She still remembered what Empress Xiuyan said, and she hurriedly said to Angelica.

   "Go and tell Madam Xiuyan that His Royal Highness the Duke has returned safely and let her rest in peace."

   "Here."

   Angelica obediently withdrew.

  Yu Weiwei took off the cloak from her body and put it on the chair next to her.

   she asked, "Have you had dinner?"

   Xiao Yan shook his head: "No."

  Yu Weiwei had long expected that this would be the case, she said immediately.

   "I have left you a meal, you can eat it as long as it's hot."

   She stood up to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Xiao Lan.

   He whispered: "It's so late, so don't be busy, let the people go to the hot dishes."

  Yu said yes.

   She ordered the hot dishes.

   Soon someone came in with a hot meal.

   Looking at the fragrant and hot food, Xiao Yan's stomach was awakened, and he finally felt hungry.

   He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat.

   When he was almost done eating, Yu Weiwei asked.

   "Why did you come back so late? Did something happen in the palace?"

   If it was before, no matter what happened to Xiao Yan, he would just bury it in his heart and never tell anyone.

   But after getting along for this period of time, he already had a certain amount of trust in Yu Lingwei. As long as it wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, he wouldn't mind telling her about it.

   Xiao Juan pondered for a while, and then opened his mouth.

   "It's to block the city gate and arrest Che Xuekun."

  Yu Weiwei: "Does the emperor not agree to arrest people?"

   Xiao Yan shook his head: "No, the emperor really wants to arrest people, but blocking the city gate is not a trivial matter. This matter must be approved by the cabinet. The elders of the cabinet all disagree."

   For the old emperor, Che Xuekun was the mastermind behind the anti-poem case, and he was also a meticulous work of the enemy country.

   But the elders think more.

  Once the gates of the city are blocked, the common people will be inconvenient to go in and out, and they will definitely complain, merchants will not be able to pass normally, the business tax in the city will be reduced, and the correspondence between the imperial court and the local government is also a problem...

   Both sides insist on their own words, and neither side will give in.

  The old emperor was helped to rest after a few quarrels because he was unwell.

   But Xiao Juan was left behind, and he had to continue to confront the old guys in the cabinet.

   It wasn't until midnight that Xiao Wan was able to leave the palace.

  Yu Weiwei: "What was the result? Who did you listen to in the end?"

   Xiao Juan: "The pavilion elders said that they can block the city gate, but the premise is to leave two days for the people in the city to prepare, so as to reduce the resentment of the people."

  Yu was speechless.

   arresting criminals is about taking advantage of the unexpected.

   There are still two days left for people to prepare, and people will not know where they are going? !

  Xiao Juan naturally knew this.

  The matter has come to this point, and he cannot change it, so he can only find another way.

  The next day, many eagle guards were added to the gates of Yujing. Anyone who came out of the city had to go through strict inspections by the eagle guards. Anyone who found suspicious people would be taken down on the spot.

   Not only that, but Xiao Juan also asked Yu Weiwei to draw a portrait of Che Xuekun according to Li Qiao's dictation.

   He ordered the portraits to be affixed to the streets and alleys of the city, offering a reward of a thousand taels of silver.

  There must be a brave man under the so-called reward.

   With the temptation of one thousand taels of silver, the people in the city joined the ranks of arresting Che Xuekun.

  Che Xuekun has had a very difficult two days.

   He hid everywhere like a rat crossing the street, trying his best to hide his whereabouts, lest anyone find out his identity.

  Because he can speak well, and he really has some talent in his belly, he has been smooth sailing since he sneaked into the Dayan Dynasty, and he has never been so embarrassed as today.

   And all this is due to the blessing of King Lang!

  Cha Xuekun was wearing a sackcloth full of puddings, his face was covered with black ashes, and his body smelled of sweat.

   He hid among a group of similarly dressed men.

   These guys specialize in helping people carry bags on the pier, and they earn energy and money.

   It was lunch time, everyone was sitting together, eating dry food and chatting.

   "Have you heard? Zhen Xixi from Luoyi Pavilion is dead!"

   "I know about this. Zhen Xixi was forced to death by the Eagle Guard. I heard that the death was tragic."

   "What a beautiful girl, it's such a pity to die like this at such a young age."

   "The eagle guards are catching people every day. I heard that they are catching a man named Xuekun recently, and they even issued a reward of 1,000 taels!"

   As soon as they heard that there were 1,000 taels, the group of men immediately forgot about Zhen Xixi.

   After they discussed it, they were going to find a portrait to see what that Che Xuekun looked like when the work was done.

   Maybe they were lucky enough to catch that Cha Xuekun!

  Che Xuekun ate the last mouthful of steamed buns and left the crowd silently.

   Looks like this place can't stay any longer.

   He had to move to another place.

   He remembered what those people said just now, Zhen Xixi died, she died to protect him.

  If there were no Prince Lang and Ying Guards, Zhen Xixi would not have died, and he would not have been reduced to where he is today.

  Che Xuekun clenched his fists and looked fierce.

   "King Lang, you made me lose the woman I love, and I won't let you and your woman have a better time!"

  In a hidden courtyard in the city.

  Shen Junzhi was sitting by the window reading a book, and the wind came in from the window, blowing his black hair.

   He raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed softly.

   Mobao came over immediately and helped close the window.

   "Master, your health is not good, the doctor said you can't blow your hair."

   He brought a bowl of soup and medicine and handed it to Shen Junzhi.

   "It's time for you to take your medicine."

   Shen Junzhi frowned, obviously not wanting to drink medicine.

   But he also knew that his body had to be nourished by medicine.

   He picked up the bowl and drank the soup.

   Mobao immediately handed over the handkerchief.

  Shen Junzhi took the handkerchief and wiped off the decoction on his lips.

  Mobao: "Young Master, the spies came to report just now that they have found the whereabouts of Che Xuekun. Do we want to send someone to arrest him?"

   Shen Junzhi put down the veil and said quietly.

   "Don't move him, keep staring at him."

   "Here."
