After leaving the palace, Prince Heng was placed in Yuelai Guest House, which was Yue Xiyuan's territory, a fact that was common knowledge.
Therefore, for Prince Heng, his actions were restricted at this moment, and he naturally dared not make any rash moves.
At this moment, Prince Heng was having lunch in a private room. "It really has been a long time since I've been out. The food here is getting more and more abundant these days."
The Prince of Heng is currently enjoying the cold noodles that Yan An gave to An San. Although the weather is no longer as hot as in summer, there are still quite a few people who make a special trip to Yue Lai Ke just to have a taste of cold noodles.
Whenever Yan An has time, he researches and develops delicacies that don't exist in this era, and Yue Lai Ke's business is getting better and better.
Although Yue Xiyuan gave Yan An all the good stuff from the Dark Pavilion as betrothal gifts, Yan An brought even greater benefits to the Dark Pavilion. An San was so happy that he couldn't stop calculating the accounts every day.
"How's the investigation going?"
"Your Highness, the Prince Xiao's residence is under heavy guard, and I cannot go in to investigate. However, I heard some things from the guards who were changing shifts."
"Oh? What did you hear?"
“I heard it…” Cheng Ying stammered, “The guards said that Prince Xiao is a traitor. The fact that he is still alive and can share a piece of the pie with the guard dogs is already a great blessing.”
After Cheng Ying finished speaking, she looked up at Prince Heng and, seeing that Prince Heng did not react much, continued, "Your Highness, in my opinion, Prince Xiao and the others are not doing well in Prince Xiao's residence."
"Hmm, what about Consort Chen?"
He understood that the loser was always the villain. His rebellion had failed, and his current predicament was understandable. As long as his life was not in immediate danger, he had a plan.
"I am sorry for my incompetence; I was unable to locate Consort Chen."
Cheng Ying looked at Prince Heng with some fear and unease. "Your Highness, when I went out today, I heard some people on the street saying that yesterday, when Consort Chen and Prince Xiao were being escorted back to Prince Xiao's mansion, they encountered a girl. That girl was from Wangjia Village."
Upon hearing the name Wangjia Village, Prince Heng's brows furrowed instantly. "Wangjia Village?"
Prince Heng's tone was full of threat and oppression, his voice carrying a sense of intimidation and fear that sent chills down one's spine.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Cheng Ying naturally knew that her master was angry, so she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Why are there still survivors from Wangjia Village? And why have they even come to the capital?"
"I was unaware. After the matter was settled, I did indeed conduct a thorough investigation, and no one survived. I truly have no idea where she came from."
"Alright, go on."
"It's Your Highness. That girl told Gu Yi'an everything that happened in Wangjia Village. Most of the people in the town have gathered there, and... and..."
Prince Heng slammed his hand on the table. "Speak!"
"Moreover, that girl revealed that Prince Xiao was looking for men and had... had homosexual relations with him. Now... now the whole city knows about it."
The air around Prince Heng instantly became tense, oppressive, and heavy. Cheng Ying, standing beside him, sensed his anger and dared not utter a sound, as if the entire world trembled before his fury.
Since everyone knows, it means that Consort Chen also knows.
Prince Heng couldn't help but worry whether Consort Chen would be able to accept this matter once she found out.
Just as Heng Wang had expected, he fainted after learning that Yue Zhixiao was gay and only woke up early this morning. He remained sullen and didn't even touch the food the guards brought him.
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! Where's Gao Da? I've kept him by Xiao'er's side for so many years, is this how I take care of him?!"
Gao Da was the physician of the Prince Xiao's mansion. He was specially arranged by Prince Heng to be by Yue Zhixiao's side, firstly to take good care of Yue Zhixiao's health, and secondly to learn some things through Gao Da.
The clean background of the Gundam, which allowed it to stay in the Prince Xiao's mansion for so many years, was undoubtedly aided by Prince Heng's instigation.
Therefore, Prince Heng knew about Yue Zhixiao's homosexual tendencies long ago and secretly helped him find a lot of medicinal herbs, but none of them were effective.
“Your Highness, please calm down. Gao Da had previously written to say that Prince Xiao’s illness had been cured. Today, I received another letter from Gao Da, saying that a few days ago he took Princess Xiao’s pulse and found that she was pregnant, almost a month along. However, she was still very young, and her pulse was sometimes weak and sometimes weak.”
"You're pregnant? Good, good! Good, good. Keep a close eye on Yue Yufeng's movements these next few days. If they decide to make a move, do everything in your power to rescue Jing Shu, Xiao'er, and that Liu family member."
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."
"Does Jing Shu know about the Liu family's pregnancy?"
"In my opinion, Consort Chen is probably unaware of this matter."
"I'll let Jing Shu know this when I have the chance, so she can feel at ease."
Prince Heng felt that if Consort Chen knew that Yue Zhixiao had a son, it would reduce some of her doubts about the matter.
"Since they dared to imprison Jing Shu and the others in the Prince Xiao's mansion, they will naturally send heavy troops to guard them. Jing Shu has the edict left by that old man, so she naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly. Let me think of a solution to this matter. You may leave now."
"Yes, Your Highness. I shall take my leave."
"Wait, the shopkeeper here seems to say that this is called cold noodles, and the taste is not bad. Go and try it, and tell him that I ordered it."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Prince Heng took out a jade pendant from his bosom and stroked it repeatedly with his fingers. "Jing Shu, wait for me. I will definitely rescue you. I will not let any of those who have abused you go unpunished."
"Logically speaking, Liu Youlin's daughter is not a good match for Xiao'er, but now she is pregnant with Xiao'er's child, which can be considered a great contribution. If Xiao'er wants to keep her in the future, it is not impossible."
"I have made almost all the preparations in Yan Kingdom. I am just waiting for the right time to rescue you and Xiao'er. Then our family will be truly reunited."
"Jing Shu, wait for me a little longer."
Prince Heng held the jade pendant, reminiscing about twenty-eight years ago...
