Uncle (21)

On the street with His Highness King Yao, although there were many people around them, the two of them were surrounded by guards, ensuring that they were not squeezed into the small circle made by the guards in their flesh.

This can be regarded as a small two-person world.

Wan Siqing has never been so close to a man since she was born. She was a little nervous and a little shy for a while. Although she kept pushing the wheelchair, she didn't know what to say.

Rather than saying that she was walking, it was better to say that she was following the guards in front of her, so she didn't know where they were going.

Duan Qingen was not nervous. Along the way, he saw some interesting and delicious food through the wall of people hired by his subordinates, and even asked them to buy it for Wan Siqing.

Perhaps it was because the candy figures were too beautiful and sweet, or perhaps it was the brightness and warmth brought by the lanterns. Wan Siqing gradually became less nervous, and even boldly handed one of the candy figures in his hand that he had never eaten before. Duan Qingen's mouth.

It was the first time that she had done something that could be called inappropriate, so she was inevitably a little nervous. Her eyelashes were trembling nervously, and her words were also trembling:

"Would you like to eat, Your Majesty?"

Duan Qingen saw that his future daughter-in-law's whole body was stiff with tension, so she smiled without trying to expose it, stretched out her hand to take the candy man, and took a bite.

"The craftsmanship of the old Liu family at Southwest Street."

He only tasted it and concluded this.

Wan Siqing was a little surprised and asked boldly: "Does the prince often eat their candy?"

How else would he know?

Duan Qingen shook his head, holding the candy man in his hand, with a look of reminiscence on his face: "When I was young, my father was still there, and occasionally my father would take me with him when he went out of the palace. At that time, I was young and liked to eat candy men. My father He said that the one in Jingcheng was the most authentic, and he took me to eat it several times, and I tasted it after just one bite. "

Wan Siqing looked back and was surprised to see "Liu" hanging on the candy man stall.

"After all these years, does the prince still remember?"

The smile of the handsome prince in the wheelchair turned slightly bitter: "My father is busy and doesn't often take me out of the palace. When I eat less often, I always think about it. Naturally, I can't forget it."

Seeing him like this, Wan Siqing guessed that he missed the Supreme Emperor.

Also, although she was a female family member and had never known much about the important affairs of the court, she still knew how Duan Qingen was a prince in the capital and how he was favored by the supreme emperor.

If he hadn't had an accident at that time, I'm afraid he would have been sitting on the throne by now.

This shows how much the Supreme Emperor loves this son.

Your Majesty, does he... miss the Supreme Emperor?

Wan Siqing looked down at the candy man in her hand, and remembered that when she was a child, her father would occasionally bring her candy men when he came back from work.

Her mother was afraid that her teeth would be damaged by eating too much, so she kept preventing her father from buying them for her. But she was just a child at the time and was so greedy that she begged her father, who would come back quietly every time, like a thief. He took out the hidden candy man and gave it to her, and told her to rinse her mouth quickly after eating so that her mother wouldn't notice.

Thinking about it now, those days were really her happiest times.

Duan Qingen saw that Wan Siqing suddenly fell silent, and looked back. He saw that the end of her eyes were slightly red, and she stared blankly at the candy man, and he guessed a bit.

He naturally stretched out his hand and patted the back of Wan Siqing's hand.

"I no longer have any close relatives in this world, nor do I have any brothers or sisters from the same father and mother. The same goes for you. When we get married in the future, the two of us will support each other and stay together throughout our lives."

Wan Siqing's hands trembled slightly, and her fair cheeks turned red.

Because of his shyness, the sadness quickly disappeared, replaced by a slowly rising sense of peace.

At least what the prince said, he really wanted to live with her.

Just as she was calming down, she suddenly remembered that Wan Siyuan was suspected of being pregnant, and her joy dropped slightly.

If Wan Siyuan is really unmarried and pregnant, she will definitely not be able to hide it with her behavior these days.

Once this matter is revealed, all the sisters in the family will suffer.

After all, in the eyes of many people, Wan Siyuan is a daughter of the Wan family, and Wan Siqing and Wan Sihe are also daughters of the Wan family. If Wan Siyuan can do this kind of thing, naturally the two of them can too.

If this matter were exposed after she married the prince, he would also be implicated and ridiculed for being the sister of such a woman.

Wan Siqing clenched the candy man in her hand.

The prince is so kind to her and has never been unkind to her. If it involves him, it would be too...

But what do you say about this kind of thing?

Wan Siqing hesitated, but Duan Qingen made a gesture, so the people protecting them all turned around and walked in another direction.

When the noisy sounds around him gradually became quieter, and the feeling of lack of air due to the crowds disappeared, Wan Siqing, who had been thinking about how to make it clear to Duan Qingen, suddenly realized that they had actually bypassed the lantern festival. We arrived at the secluded riverside.

It was pitch dark here. Even though the guards had brought lanterns, the woman's fear of the dark still made her a little panicked:

"Your Majesty?"

"Don't be afraid, it's just easier to talk here."

As Duan Qingen spoke, he slowly stood up under Wan Siqing's shocked gaze.

King Yao, who was wearing black attire, patted the non-existent dust on his body, straightened his clothes, waved his subordinates to leave the lantern and left, and then smiled at Wan Siqing.

"I know you have something to say to me, so I brought you here."

Wan Siqing was dumbfounded as she looked at Duan Qingen who was standing right in front of her. She also looked at the guards who were scattered and climbed up trees, hid in the bushes, and disappeared soon.

"This, this is..."

She was a girl who was always trapped in the mansion. Even though she was more mature and sensible than her peers because her parents died early, she didn't know what to say about the situation in front of her.

"They are the secret guards given to me by others. Don't worry about them. These are dead servants. What you and I say here today will not be spread out at all."

Secret guards, dead servants...

These words that don't even appear in the storybook made Wan Siqing even more confused.

Duan Qingen didn't need her to understand too much. She simply said: "Third Miss, you have been hesitant today. Are you trying to tell me that your elder sister in the mansion may have a bad reputation and may affect you and me?"

Wan Siqing's eyes, which were already wide open, became even wider.

"My Lord, do you know?"

Duan Qingen smiled.

Of course he knew, and this matter was completed under his full supervision.

Of course he would not say this to Wan Siqing, but continued: "I know that the third lady is afraid of implicating me. In fact, you don't need to worry. Your eldest sister, the father of the child in her belly is very important, and this matter will definitely not be spread."

Wan Siqing grabbed the handkerchief in a tangle: "But the eldest sister has never concealed the fact that she is pregnant. Even I know it. I am afraid that grandma and aunt will know it soon."

Grandma is fine, she believes in grandma.

But if aunt knew about this, her first reaction would definitely be to kill her.

Those servants are not stupid. Seeing the dead end in front of them, won't they struggle? If they counterattack before death, this matter will definitely become a big deal.

If they don't kill her, aunt will never let it go.

No matter how you look at it, there is no solution.

Duan Qingen shook his head and said firmly: "The third lady can rest assured. This matter will never affect your Wan family."

Nothing else, who let the person with Wan Siyuan be the emperor.

If he wanted to cover up this matter, although it would take a lot of effort, he would definitely be able to cover it up.

And he would definitely cover it up more than anyone else.

Compared with Wan Siyuan's reputation, the emperor's own reputation is the most important.

This is like a jade hitting a stone. Even if it is known that the jade may not crack, but the stone is likely to break, the jade will not dare to take the risk.

He felt that the emperor probably wanted to kill Wan Siyuan and get it over with.

But Wan Siyuan's stupid behavior of not covering up at all was somewhat useful.

At least, it was enough to force the emperor to give up the murderous intention.

Although Duan Qingen kept making promises, Wan Siqing still felt a little inferior in her heart.

She couldn't raise her face in front of His Royal Highness Prince Yao because her sister had done such a shameful thing.

She said softly: "I know the prince is kind-hearted, and you don't have to worry about affecting me. If this matter can't be covered up and you cancel the engagement, I won't say anything. After all, it's me who implicated you."

Duan Qingen: "Speaking of implicating, I have something here that may implicate the young lady."

Wan Siqing raised her head, confused and a little uneasy: "What are you talking about?"

Duan Qingen smiled gently, without any sharpness:

"I intend to rebel."

"Young lady, are you afraid of my implicating you?"

****

"Kneel down!!!"

When Duan Qingen and Wan Siqing were discussing the specific matters of the rebellion at the bridge, Madam Wan and Wan Siyuan were hurriedly called back to the mansion by the old lady Wan.

As soon as they arrived in front of the old lady, a cup was smashed in front of Wan Siyuan.

The always graceful old lady was so angry that her face turned blue. She covered her chest and pointed at Wan Siyuan with anger:

"Tell me! Tell me, what's the matter with the pregnancy-preserving medicine in your yard!!"

If it was before, Wan Siyuan might have hesitated and tangled whether she should use the emperor's trump card when she "didn't know the emperor's identity".

But now that she just met His Majesty, she was not panicked at all, and knelt on the ground with confidence:

"Grandma, my granddaughter is pregnant."

Mrs. Wan staggered in shock and knelt directly on the ground: "What, what? Yuan'er, what are you talking about?!"

Wan Siyuan didn't look at her frightened look at all, just raised her chin, and even said with a little pride: "Grandma and mother, why are you so panicked? Don't you know that the father of this child is the current emperor."

"What?!!"

The old lady stood up suddenly in shock: "The current emperor??"

No, that's not right!

Let alone His Majesty, even if a god came, she was pregnant before marriage!

If this matter was spread out, their whole family would become the laughing stock of the capital.

Even if the father of the child was His Majesty, this laughing stock would be filled with a sentence "In order to climb up the dragon and phoenix, the Wan family shamelessly let their unmarried daughter seduce His Majesty".

Her son, grandson, and even the great-grandson who has not yet appeared, the Wan family will not be able to raise their heads for at least five generations.

The old lady thought it through, looked cold, and slapped the table:

"Vile thing! How dare you climb up at will, come, lock her up in the Buddhist hall, without my order! No one can go in or out!"

At the window outside, a maid heard it clearly and hurried to report the news.

The emperor received the letter and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Wan Siyuan!

She actually stabbed him out so shamelessly.

Now, he can't even kill her.
