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

Chapter 18



Chapter 18: No Way Out!


Angelica was a little worried. “Master will be angry if you don’t get it done, right?”


Yu Niaoniao put on a fearless posture.


“It doesn’t matter. At most, I’ll kneel in the ancestral hall for another night. Anyway, I haven’t finished reading the book you gave me the last time. I’ll continue reading it later.”


Dang Gui was speechless.


She suddenly regretted giving her that book.


Yu Niaoniao jumped down from the carriage and looked up at the plaque hanging directly above the vermilion gate.


The plaque had four large words written on it: Lang Jun Imperial Palace.


“Quite imposing.”


Yu Niaoniao walked up the steps.


Before she could approach the gate, she was stopped by the Eagle Guard guarding it.


“This is the Prince of Lang County’s residence. Outsiders are prohibited from approaching!”


Yu Qianqian said crisply, “I’m not some random person. I’m the fiancée of Prince Lang. I’m here to look for him. Please help me pass the message.”


The rumors about the eldest daughter of the Yu family and Prince Lang had already spread throughout the entire Jade Capital.


The Eagle Guard in front of her had naturally heard of it.


Unexpectedly, the person involved had already come knocking openly.


The Eagle Guard’s attitude immediately became much more polite.


“So you’re Miss Yu. I was rude just now.”


He cupped his hands at Yu Niaoniao, then continued.


“Prince Lang is out on business. He’s not in the residence for the time being.”


Yu Qianqian was secretly delighted. As expected, he was too busy to see her.


She lowered her eyes, clearly disappointed.


“I see. I came at a bad time. I’ll head back now.”


Yu Wenxian turned to leave, but the Eagle Guard stopped her.


“Miss Yu, please stay. Although His Highness is not in the residence, we can send someone to deliver a message to His Highness. With your relationship with His Highness, I believe His Highness will return soon.”


Yu Niaoniao was shocked and hurriedly waved her hand.


“No, there’s no need for that.”


She was just here to go through the motions! She didn’t really want to see that iceberg!


However, the Eagle Guard was very attentive. “It’s not troublesome at all. Please enter the residence and take a seat. This way, please.”


He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.


Yu Niaoniao was speechless.


There was no way out!


She could not find a reason to refuse and could only bite the bullet and walk into the palace.


The residence was filled with pavilions, flowers, and mountains. At first glance, it looked very luxurious, but people were rarely seen.


There wasn’t even a bird in sight in the yard.


The entire royal residence was filled with an oppressive silence.


As Yu Niaoniao waddled along the stone path, he could hear nothing but soft footsteps.


She didn’t understand. How could anyone live in a place like this?


Wouldn’t they be afraid of nightmares in the middle of the night?’


Granny Xiuyan led Yu Qianqian into the hall.


“His Highness will be here soon. Please wait a moment, Miss Yu.”


Then, Granny Xiu Yan got someone to send over many refreshments and placed them in front of Yu Niaoniao for her to enjoy.


Seeing that there was good food, Yu Niaoniao relaxed a little.


She picked up a pastry and popped it into her mouth.


Well, it was quite delicious!


She ate a pastry and took two sips of tea, wondering how to deal with the situation next.


Unknowingly, she finished the two large plates of pastries and a pot of tea.


When Xiao Juan walked in, he heard a loud burp.


He turned toward the voice and fell silent when he saw the woman slumped in a chair, touching her small belly.


When he found out that Yu Niaoniao had come to look for him, he guessed that she was probably here for Yu Sheng.


He was already prepared to reject the other party’s plea for mercy for Yu Sheng.


But now.


Seeing the woman’s happy little face as she ate and drank her fill, he began to wonder. Had she really come to plead her case?


Why did she seem more like a freeloader?
