Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

In the blink of an eye, night fell. The man disguised as the Zhao family's housekeeper led a few people and quietly slipped back to Xiaohe Village under the cover of darkness.

They walked lightly, afraid of making any noise and attracting other people's attention.

As soon as they entered the village, they headed straight towards Xiao Min's house.

When they arrived near Xiao Min's house, they first observed the surroundings and confirmed that there was nothing unusual before carefully approaching the thatched house.

When they reached the front of the house, they quietly asked the person in charge of monitoring Xiao Min and his wife, "Have the couple ever gone out?"

The man shook his head. "No, I've been keeping an eye on them. After they came back from the village chief's house, they've been staying in the house and haven't shown up."

After receiving this news, the group felt a little relieved.

In their opinion, Xiao Min and his wife must be upset because of their life experiences, so they stayed in the house and did not come out as soon as they came back.

In order not to alert the enemy, they decided to fight quickly and decisively.

No one was sent to check if the person was still in the house.

Because in their eyes, Xiao Min and Chu Ling'er were just two lowly villagers, and caution and vigilance had nothing to do with them at all.

One of them quickly took out a tinder from his pocket, lit a torch, and then lit fire in front of and behind the house.

Because the thatched house is made of flammable material, the fire spread instantly once the torch was lit.

In just a moment, the entire thatched hut was engulfed in flames, and the flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

The flames raged in the night wind, making crackling sounds. The once warm thatched house was engulfed in the sea of ​​fire and turned into ashes.

After seeing the thatched hut on fire, several people left one person to hide in the dark and observe, while the others quickly slipped towards the village entrance.

If the secret guards hiding in the dark had not seen the couple sneak away long ago, they would have thought that they had died in the fire.

At the same time, they also admired the two men's vigilance.

If they hadn't been so numerous and monitoring the area from all directions, they wouldn't have even noticed the two people slipping away.

When the villagers of Xiaohe Village discovered the condition of Xiao Min's house, the fire could no longer be put out and they could only watch the house turn to ashes.

The village chief was heartbroken thinking that Xiao Min and his wife might have died in the fire.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

An hour had passed before Xie Yanci received the news from Xiaohe Village.

His eyes were dark, and he didn't understand why the prime minister wanted to silence Xiao Min.

Originally he just wanted to find out his own background, but now this Xiao Min is involved.

The whole thing became confusing.

The man disguised as Butler Zhao returned to the Prime Minister's residence and immediately reported.

The Minister of Personnel was very satisfied that he had solved this difficult matter with one move.

After sending the man away, the Minister of Personnel slept peacefully.

As soon as it was dawn, the Minister of Personnel got up and went to find the Prime Minister to report to him what had happened in Xiaohe Village last night.

"Father, the matter has been resolved. You can rest assured now."

The Prime Minister did not relax upon hearing the news. Instead, he asked, "How was it resolved? Did you watch someone die?"

"In order not to alert the villagers, Lu Wan and his men quietly sneaked into Xiaohe Village last night and set fire to Xiao Min's house.

Xiao Min and his wife never escaped from the house since the fire started to spread. It was the middle of the night and they might have fallen asleep.

The house was reduced to ashes, and the two people were not seen coming out. It is likely that they were burned to death."

"How can they be so sure that the person has been burned to death?"

The Minister of Personnel explained, “Lu Wan and his team’s previous plan was not to burn people to death, but to trick them out of Xiaohe Village before taking action.

But that ugly ghost didn't want to go back to the Zhao family and refused directly.

There was really no other way, so Lu Wan had to send someone to monitor Xiao Min and his wife.

It was only at night that they were able to do it so easily."

"They're too impatient. They just went to look for that kid yesterday, and he was burned to death at night. Aren't they afraid that the villagers of Xiaohe Village will get suspicious?"

"Don't worry, father. Those lowly villagers are just fools. They don't know how to do all that."

After hearing what the Minister of Personnel said, the Prime Minister finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The person has been silenced, but we still can't let our guard down. The person who delivered the letter was so confident, so there must be some evidence."

"Don't worry, father. It's useless even if you're anxious. Things have to be solved one by one.

I will arrange for someone to continue searching for the person who sent the letter."

The prime minister also knew that he couldn't be impatient, but he was always anxious and uneasy in his heart, as if a storm was about to come and something was about to happen.

Ever since Prince Rong became a eunuch, his temper has become eccentric, his mood has been unpredictable, and he would beat and scold people at any time.

Except for being restrained in front of Yun Jingxue, everyone else is very afraid of him.

The reason why he restrained himself was that he was afraid of scaring Yun Jingxue. After all, she was pregnant with the only child in his life.

So, in front of Yun Jingxue, he would become very gentle.

During this period of time, Yun Jingxue had everything he wanted, and his life was extremely comfortable.

She stroked her slightly bulging belly with a smug look on her face.

If Prince Rong hadn't been watching her too closely and not allowed her to go out and run around, she would have run to Yun Youran to show off.

Unfortunately, she couldn't go anywhere except the entire Prince Rong's Mansion.

At the same time, she also knew that the reason she was able to marry into the Rong Palace and become the Rong Palace Princess was because of the baby in her belly. For the sake of the baby in her belly, she could only stay in the Rong Palace and not go anywhere else.

She was afraid that if she went out, people would be jealous and that it would harm the baby in her belly.

For the sake of future glory and wealth, Yun Jingxue endured it.

However, she also really wanted to run to Yun Youran to show off or ridicule her.

It is ironic that she will never be qualified to be a mother, will be a widow all her life, and will never experience the joy of being a woman.
