Xiao Jun brought Qianru to eat at a restaurant near the palace, he had booked a private room for both of them with sumptuous meal on the table.Normally, all the food on the table was Qianru"s favorite, but for some reason she still didn"t have appet.i.te to eat any of it.
In spite of that, Xiao Jun"s effort to pamper her, touched her as she tried to gulp down a mouthful chicken soup sullenly when someone knocked on the door.
Xiao Jun was holding a spoon near her lips when he let that person to come.
A moment later, Liu Wei with his dark clothes came inside and paid his respect toward Xiao Jun and Qianru.
"Master, I have urgent information that you asked me to find out." Liu Wei started. He dared to disturb his master time with Qianru because the news that he got was so urgent and he couldn"t wait to let Xiao Jun to know about this.
It took him three days and three nights to collect this information an big amount of money to bribe people so they couldn"t open their mouth and gave him a whisper.
Liu Wei was so tired as he didn"t rest for these days, but the information was so important, so he came straight to this restaurant, knowing Xiao Jun was here.
"Say it." Xiao Jun waved his hand casually to let Liu Wei stood up as his focus entirely was on Qianru.
As days pa.s.sed, Qianru"s appet.i.te wasn"t very good and this worried him, from the doctor that he asked, it was a normal thing for an early pregnancy.
Xiao Jun was even tempted to write a letter to Xiao Tianyao and asked if Luna suffered the same thing, but then he ripped it and threw it away as it was too absurd to discuss about this kind of thing after a secret letter that he had just sent.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He could imagine his heartless brother"s brows knitted together and threw his letter instead, thought there was something wrong with Xiao Jun"s head.
"This…" Liu Wei hesitated as he glanced at Qianru, in the past Xiao Jun would step out of the room if he said this was an urgent matter, but his Master didn"t have an indication that he would put down the spoon that he was holding.
"Say it." Xiao Jun repeated his order. Seemingly this time he didn"t want to keep anything from Qianru and let her knew what he was doing these past days.
Qianru also surprised with Xiao Jun"s decision. Actually she wouldn"t mind if Xiao Jun let her alone for a moment while he was receiving the information that Liu Wei brought, but apparently feeding her was something that he needed to do right now.
Seeing that his Master decided to let Qianru knew, Liu Wei started to recite the information.
"Apparently, Prince Mo Xuan Fei and imperial concubine Lin Xinyang have been having a relationship." Liu Wei started with the most crucial part.
"What kind of relationship?" This intrigued Xiao Jun"s curiosity as he glanced at Liu Wei.
"They are a lover." Liu Wei hastily replied. "Apparently, before imperial concubine Lin Xinyang married to the Emperor, both of them had been in relationship. Prince Mo Xuan Fei even had asked the Emperor to marry, at that time, Princess Lin Xinyang. But, The Emperor married himself to her instead."
Now, both Qianru and Xiao Jun stared at Liu Wei with confusion was written all over their faces. "A lover?" Qianru asked in disbelief. "But the relationship between them still continues until now?"
"Yes, Princess." Liu Wei answered to Qianru.
No wonder the Emperor was so mad, his concubine and his son have been having an illicit relationship behind his back and put a green hat on his head, if other people knew about this, Mo Qin Yi"s incapability of protecting his own concubine from another man would be on their lips with bad image on their head.
But, why didn"t the Emperor killed both of them right away before there was a rumor about it and risked his own reputation for this?
Probably it was because of Qianru"s pregnancy that made the two of them relationship was greatly improved.
"But that night…" Qianru"s voice trailed off as she recalled her encounter with Lin Xinyang that night.
"That night?" Xiao Jun asked.
Qianru didn"t tell him about her unintentional meeting with Lin Xinyang as she thought it wasn"t her concern about whatever issue that happened with Lin Xinyang.
Xiao Jun and she had their own problem, they didn"t needed to add more or else they would eat more than they could chew.
Qianru started to tell him about the event last night.
"…She has a long scar on her left cheek and was in bad shape." Qianru ended her story.
"Are you sure it was her not someone else? After all she denied it." Xiao Jun picked a chunk of chicken breast and put it near her lips.
"Yes, Liu Wei also saw her." Qianru nodded at Liu Wei and bit the chicken breast on Xiao Jun"s chopstick, only in the afternoon she could eat something without throwing up, though her appet.i.te didn"t get any better, at least there was something that she could digest for herself and the baby.
"Yes, Master, it was imperial concubine Lin Xinyang who encountered with Princess Xiao." Liu Wei acknowledged Qianru"s words.
Xiao Jun stroke his chin and talked in deep voice. "Thae could be a reason for Mo Xuan Fei in need of help…"
"Help?" Qianru swallowed the chicken breast as Xiao Jun gave her a cup of water to make it easy for her to swallow. "He asked you to help him?"
"Hmm." Xiao Jun hummed. "Mo Qian Yuan wants him to accompany me in my journey to find the elders, though he knew this as a mission to retrieve secret information from Azura"s military."
"What he asked from you?" Qianru shook her head and looked in disgust at a soggy vegetable that Xiao Jun was holding in his chopstick in attempt to feed her, she pushed his hand away when he insisted for her to eat it. "Did he ask you to help imperial concubine Lin Xinyang?"
