Chapter 88 Good News and Bad News
While Zhou Yunshu was enjoying her meal, Wei Zhong squatted on the slope and felt a chill on his neck.
Judging from the time, the Saker Falcon and the carrier pigeon that flew away two days earlier should arrive at about the same time.
When he thought about his master having to face the bad news that the princess was missing right after learning the good news of her pregnancy, he couldn't help but want to kneel down and apologize.
As he thought, Ji Sheng, who was far away in Youzhou in the northern border, did receive Wei Zhong's letter in the military camp.
It’s just that the letter he received first was from Hai Dongqing.
In the letter, Wei Zhong recounted everything he and Zhou Yunshu had done after going up the mountain, followed by the news that Zhou Yunshu had disappeared.
In fact, when he agreed to leave Zhou Yunshu to carry out the task assigned to him by Zhou Yunshu, he secretly arranged for people to protect Zhou Yunshu, otherwise he would not dare to leave easily.
But who knew that the person he arranged to follow Zhou Yunshu was actually knocked unconscious by Qingfeng. As a result, Wei Zhong completely lost track of Zhou Yunshu.
If there must be a clue, it is that Zhou Yunshu once told Qingfeng that they were planning to go to Nanzhou next.
Wei Zhong interrogated Qingfeng again and again, and learned that if Zhou Yunshu left, she must have gone to Nanzhou.
Yes, the unlucky Qingfeng was caught by Wei Zhong when he was running down the mountain.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Wei Zhong not knowing what he had done to find an opportunity to escape, but Wei Zhong kept a close eye on him.
Until he met up with the people who were knocked unconscious in the team, and until the people who were knocked unconscious by him on Wolong Mountain woke up, he had no way to escape.
Ji Sheng in the big tent was wearing a red armor, with a black battle robe with gold threads hanging naturally. He held a letter in his right hand and a Bi'an mask with a red background and gold patterns in his left hand.
After reading the letter, Ji Sheng extended the letter in his hand to the brazier in the tent. The Saker Falcon standing on the shelf not far away glanced at the letter he brought and continued to lick its fur.
The flames devoured the letter, and another announcement was heard outside the tent.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from your carrier pigeon."
"Enter."
The subordinate in armor walked up to Ji Sheng with his head down and handed him the letter.
When Ji Sheng saw that the letter was still from Wei Zhong, a hint of impatience flashed in his cold eyes.
Wei Zhong had been away for only a short time, and not only was he becoming more and more fussy in his work, he couldn't even do something as simple as judging people.
Ji Sheng had already made up his mind to ask Wei Zhong to come back until he saw the content of another letter delivered by carrier pigeon.
The Bi'an mask in his hand was flattened by Ji Sheng, and his eyes were still fixed on the last few words in the letter: The princess is pregnant with twins, congratulations, Your Majesty.
She is pregnant.
If his princess knew she was pregnant, when did she know?
Before leaving the palace, or after leaving the palace.
Missing...
Self-written disappearance...
Ji Sheng held the small piece of letter paper in his palm, and a trace of gloom and coldness flashed across his handsome face.
The subordinate who had been standing not far away shrank his shoulders and cried in his heart, wondering what bad news the carrier pigeon had brought that could make the prince so angry.
"Give the order." Ji Sheng looked at the flaming flames before him, "Have Jia Er take my token and lead the ten members of Squad B to Luzhou to meet up with Wei Zhong and bring the princess back to me safely."
Ji Sheng held the letter in his hand and said coldly, "Tell Wei Zhong that if he can't find the princess, then he doesn't need to come back."
“Here!”
The subordinate received the order and retreated, just passing by a handsome man wearing a green satin robe and a white snow fox cloak.
"Xuan Jun, why are you so angry? Didn't the Eastern Turks retreat in defeat because of you?"
Ji Sheng turned around and threw the note in his hand into the brazier. When the flames started to blaze, he casually threw the flattened mask onto the table.
The man looked at Ji Sheng's actions, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Could it be that the Crown Prince and the King of Qi in the capital are causing trouble again?"
"That's not right. Could it be that Concubine Li wrote to force you to marry Cheng Jiajia?"
Looking at Kang Jingyu who was about to continue guessing without him saying anything, Ji Sheng finally said, "Kang Zixian, you are really noisy."
Kang Jingyu looked at Ji Sheng, who finally paid attention to him, and smiled as he stepped forward and said, "It seems that my guesses were all wrong."
"There are only a few people in this world who could make our cold-hearted Prince Wei care so much, so... could it be our sister-in-law who asked to be divorced?"
Kang Jingyu looked at Ji Sheng's cold gaze, not only was he not afraid, he even laughed and said, "Hahaha, I guessed right!"
Ji Sheng looked at the smug Kang Jingyu across from him and pinched his brows, "Sometimes I really want to beat you up."
"Xuan Jun, I will be sad if you say that. After all, we grew up together, not to mention that I am so weak. Can you bear to hit me?" Kang Jingyu said as he gathered his cloak.
Ji Sheng looked at Kang Jingyu's pale face, took the teapot that had been kept warm from the side and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Go back before the heavy snow arrives in the north."
Kang Jingyu listened to Ji Sheng's softened words, holding the hot tea in his hands and said, "It's so nice to talk like this!"
"I think the reason why my sister-in-law asked to leave the marriage was probably because you were like an ice cube and she felt that life with you was boring, so she left."
Ji Sheng looked at Kang Jingyu speechlessly and really wanted to shut his mouth.
Ji Sheng looked at him and said, "I'm serious. There are no good doctors in the barracks. If you really get sick in the barracks, I won't be able to explain to my teacher."
Kang Jingyu took a sip of hot tea and said, "I'm not leaving."
"Then I'll send you away." Ji Sheng's tone was irrefutable, as if he had already made a decision for Kang Jingyu.
Kang Jingyu looked at Ji Sheng's beautiful but overly cold face and said, "If you tell me why you were angry before, I will leave the Northern Territory on my own."
Ji Sheng looked at Kang Jingyu, as if doubting the truthfulness of his words.
Kang Jingyu was hurt by Ji Sheng's gaze. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Ji Xuanjun, I'm your only good friend. What good will it do you if I get mad at you to death?"
Ji Sheng took a sip of tea, pinched the cup and said to Kang Jingyu: "I just got some good news and some bad news."
Kang Jingyu laughed and said, "But you look like it's all bad news."
Ji Sheng glanced at Kang Jingyu and continued, "Good news, my princess, who asked to be divorced, is pregnant with twins."
"The bad news is not yours?!" Kang Jingyu responded quickly in shock.
Oh my God, one day he might actually see someone cuckolding Ji Xuanjun!
“Bang!”
Ji Sheng put the teacup on the table, and Kang Jingyu shrank his neck under Ji Sheng's cold gaze.
"You were the one who said there was some bad news."
Kang Jingyu's voice of grievance was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"The child is mine." Ji Sheng looked at Kang Jingyu and emphasized every word.
"But the princess escaped with the children."
