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

  Chapter 608 goes out

   King Jia was on guard: "No need."

  The little **** said again: "This is a towel specially prepared for you by His Royal Highness, please use it."

   Only then did King Jia notice that there seemed to be something pressed under the towel placed on the tray.

Deng Yuchuan noticed the movement here, he stopped his movements, turned his head to look at the little eunuch, saw that there was a basin of clear water and a square of handkerchief on the tray, there was nothing special about it, so he withdrew his gaze and continued to do his own thing .

   King Jia looked at Deng Yuchuan who was concentrating on dripping blood, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hands, dipped them into the basin, washed them casually with warm water, and then picked up a towel to wipe his hands.

  After the towel was picked up, the bright yellow silk silk hidden underneath was revealed.

   King Jia recognized at a glance that this was the tribute silk used only by imperial decree.

  He subconsciously glanced at the old emperor on the high seat, but saw that the old emperor was staring at him without blinking.

  The appearance seems to be expecting him to open it quickly.

   King Jia was also really curious, wanting to know what kind of medicine was sold in the old emperor's gourd? So he pretended nothing happened, calmly picked up the bright yellow silk, and turned around, facing Deng Yuchuan with his back.

  He unfolded the silk, glanced over it, and quickly read the content described on it.

   This is an imperial edict of reward.

  The person who was rewarded was King Jia.

  The emperor is willing to allocate all the area north of Dujiang to King Jia. King Jia can conscript troops at will in his fief, and the imperial court will not ask any more questions.

  Dujiang is a big river running through the middle of Dayan Dynasty.

  If the area north of Dujiang was given to King Jia, it would be tantamount to giving King Jia a wild goose dynasty.

  Without a single soldier, you can take half of the country with little effort.

   This temptation is too great.

  Even Jia Wang, who was mentally prepared, couldn't hold back.

  He has hoarded a lot of troops and money and food over the years, but in fact it is mainly for self-protection.

  The older the old emperor, the more suspicious he became, and the princes he killed in various ways were one after another.

  With lips dead and teeth cold, Jia Wang was very worried that it would be his turn next moment.

  He tried every means to garrison troops, and continued his strength secretly. If the old emperor wanted to do something to himself, he would fight the old emperor to the death.

  When he learned that the emperor ordered him to come to Beijing to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, King Jia guessed that the old emperor probably wanted to take the opportunity to attack him.

  He will probably never return this time.

  But he couldn't resist the decree openly, he could only confess to his eldest son before he left, and if something happened to him in Beijing, Prince Jia's Mansion would raise troops immediately.

   King Jia had already prepared for the worst.

   Unexpectedly, shortly after he entered Beijing, Deng Yuchuan approached him.

  The two were old acquaintances before, and the two families had been married before, so they were fairly familiar with each other.

  When Deng Yuchuan revealed his plan, Jiawang agreed to join with little hesitation.

  For King Jia, this trip to Beijing was a narrow escape.

  Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to give it a go.

  If he is lucky, he might be able to make a comeback.

  The two hit it off and decided to deal with the old emperor together.

   But now, King Jia received an olive branch from the old emperor.

  That is the temptation of half the country!

  Who can not be tempted?

   King Jia resisted the impulse and weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

   Now before him, there are two choices.

   One is to accept the emperor's reward, and he can easily get half of the country without a single soldier. From then on, he can sit on an equal footing with the old emperor, and he no longer has to endure the distress of fear.

  The second is to reject the emperor and continue to cooperate with Deng Yuchuan. When the truth is exposed, the imperial court will be in chaos, the old emperor will have no time to protect himself, and he will definitely have no time to take care of others, and he will be able to take advantage of the chaos to leave Yujing and return to the fief, and then raise troops in the name of maintaining the royal family's orthodoxy, and seize a place in the troubled times.

   No matter how you look at it, the former is more attractive.

  Warning not only costs money, but also takes time and effort. It is a last resort and a helpless choice.

  Now that there is a better choice, there is no need for him to take this risk again.

   Unknowingly, the balance in my heart has tipped to one side.

   At the same time, Shen Zhuo ordered someone to send a secret letter to those veteran cabinet ministers.

  Deng Yuchuan was so focused on the blood test that he didn't notice the subtle changes on the scene.

  When he saw the blood slowly seeping into the white bones, the big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

   It seems that what Yu Niaoyou said is true, blood test is indeed feasible!

   Their plan worked.

  Deng Yuchuan immediately shouted to King Jia: "Come and see, the fourth prince's blood has seeped in!"

   King Jia quickly crumpled up the imperial decree and stuffed it into his sleeve, and walked quickly to the side of the charred corpse.

  He stretched his neck and leaned over, squinting his eyes for a long time, with an expression of uncertainty on his face.

   "Did it really seep in? Why can't I see clearly?"

  Deng Yuchuan was taken aback.

  He hurriedly said: "This has obviously seeped in, take a closer look!"

  King Jia responded with multiple voices: "Then I will look again, look again."

   After a while, he still shook his head, looking very helpless.

   "Oh, I'm getting old, my eyes are really bad, I can't see clearly, why don't you find someone else to look at it."

   After speaking, he stepped back with his hands in his sleeves.

  Deng Yuchuan looked at him in disbelief: "Why do you..."

  This is different from what they said in advance!

  Jia Wang Mingming promised him before that he would help him complete today's plan.

  But why did King Jia's attitude suddenly change now?

   Deng Yuchuan had a bad premonition in his heart.

  Shen Zhuo took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Since King Jia can't see clearly, let some elders go and have a look. The elders are highly respected, and they are all the ministers of our geese. What they say must be reliable."

   Several elders were pushed out, unable to evade, so they had to bite the bullet and walk forward.

  Deng Yuchuan turned his body slightly so that they could clearly see the scene of blood seeping into the bones.

  But those elders seemed to be blind, shaking their heads and saying they didn't see it.

  Yu Niao, who had been sitting in the background watching this scene, finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.

   "They're talking nonsense with their eyes open!"

  She wanted to rush out and confront the liars.

  In the end, she was stopped by the **** and maid who had been watching her.

  Deng Yuchuan was angry and anxious: "How can you open your eyes and talk nonsense? The fourth prince's blood has obviously seeped in!"

  The elders are a little embarrassed.

   But things have come to this, and they can only do this.

   Deng Yuchuan turned his head to look at the other people present, and saw that everyone was looking at him like a liar.

  Shen Zhuo said unhurriedly.

   "You insist on a result, and now the result is out. It turns out that everything you said is false. Father has nothing to do with this charred corpse."

  Deng Yuchuan was trembling with anger: "You guys are gangsters, deliberately turning black and white! I won't let you succeed, the law is clear, you will all have retribution!"

   After speaking, he was about to light the fuse.

  But as soon as he stretched out the fire pocket, countless sharp arrows shot from high places.

  They penetrated Deng Yuchuan's body accurately.

  Deng Yuchuan didn't even have time to make a sound, and just fell straight in a pool of blood.

  The fire folder in his hand also fell to the ground, soaked by the spreading blood.

  The last flame was completely extinguished.

  Deng Yuchuan and Yu Youyou's hopes were extinguished together.

  Yu Niaoyou struggled desperately, but she was so weak that she could only be pinned to the ground by the maid, unable to move, and her mouth was tightly covered with a towel by the maid.

   Dang Dang Dang! I, Hu Hansan, are back again!
