In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1093 - 1088: Pregnant

Chapter 1093: Chapter 1088: Pregnant

"Right, how is the investigation going?"

Su Pan’er diverted the topic.

"Humph humph humph!"

The rascal pig snorted continuously, "I found out. To thoroughly investigate this matter, I, Grandpa Pig, have endured so much hardship, almost turning over every single person in the Imperial Palace. You have no idea; it’s easy to search for a person, but to sneak into each person’s consciousness and search for memories about that crested myna bird is not an easy task. Fortunately, hard work pays off as I have finally come across a clue recently and have been following that clue these past few days."

"Oh, you finally found out. Who is it?"

Su Pan’er suddenly became excited.

"Don’t be hasty; do you think it’s that easy to investigate?"

The rascal pig gave her a look, "Following the clue I chased all the way out of the palace, and guess who I ended up finding?"

"Who?"

"That Liu Yankang, Lord Liu himself."

The rascal pig wore a mysterious expression.

"Him? How could it be him? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?" Su Pan’er could hardly believe her ears.

Liu Yankang was far outside the palace and couldn’t even enter the Imperial Harem, so how could he be causing trouble?

"Not by himself, he was communicating with people inside through two palace maidens. I uncovered the memories in those palace maidens’ minds, and that led me to chase outside the palace and find that Liu Yankang."

The rascal pig recognized Liu Yankang and also knew of his identity. So while talking, it kept snorting.

"Are you talking about that Liu Changzai?"

The woman called Liu Xuan’er was sent to the palace by the Liu Family. If there was someone colluding with Liu Yankang, it could only be her!

"The rest is up to you to figure out. Grandpa Pig can only help you so much."

The rascal pig let out a huge yawn, shook its little pigtail, stood up, leaped onto the nearby jade railing, and then looked back, "Don’t think you can skip out on Grandpa Pig’s rations because of what you said just now. Prepare the things we agreed on before, or else...hmm!"

Having said that, it vanished from sight with a few jumps.

Su Pan’er shook her head and turned to call Nanny Xiao, "Go and instruct the Imperial Kitchen to prepare two whole roast lambs."

Nanny Xiao left quickly, and while pondering for a moment, she told the palace maid who was picking lotus leaves to stop, collected the picked leaves, and sent them to the Warm Pavilion. She planned to take a trip to the Imperial Harem’s Palace. After all, she had not yet summoned Liu Xuan’er since she had entered the palace so long ago.

Before she could issue the order, a eunuch came in a hurry to report that Liu Changzai was seeking an audience outside Huayang Palace.

Speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!

Su Pan’er found it somewhat amusing, "Show her in."

She had met Liu Xuan’er years ago at the Flower Appreciation Banquet at Zhang Family’s Mansion; she certainly hadn’t forgotten the subtle hostility from back then.

After all the twists and turns, the two of them ended up meeting again in the palace – what an "ape feces" moment!

Liu Xuan’er was dressed in a court robe for those always present and knelt down ten steps away from Su Pan’er to greet her.

"This humble one, Liu Changzai, greets the Empress, blessings to your highness."

Su Pan’er sat on the couch, leaning to one side, she examined Liu Xuan’er from head to toe. Confronted with that seemingly unfamiliar young face, she felt a sense of familiarity. But where this familiarity came from, she could not say.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Empress."

Liu Xuan’er stood up, her face full of smiles as she bowed again, "This humble one has been longing to pay respects to the Empress but had no opportunity. Taking the liberty to seek an audience today, I am deeply grateful that the Empress could spare the time for this humble one, who holds such compassion in her inner heart and dares not forget. Thank you for your favor towards me."

"You didn’t come here today just to say these pleasant things, did you?"

Su Pan’er did not want to beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly.

This attitude caused Liu Xuan’er’s face to pale slightly, yet she forced a smile again.

"The Empress really knows how to make a joke. The reason why I came to see the Empress today is that I have something to tell you."

A cold smile passed through Su Pan’er’s inner heart, but her exterior remained calm.

"Speak."

"Your Highness, it is, it is... this servant, this servant..."

Liu Xuan’er hesitated, her face a knot of indecision.

"Hmm?"

Su Pan’er, who had lost her patience to listen any further, stood up and nonchalantly shook her purple mink long banner.

Seeing that Su Pan’er had stood up, Liu Xuan’er immediately became anxious.

She hurriedly knelt down with a thud and blurted out, "This servant... is pregnant!"

"Oh, very good, you’re pregnant..." Su Pan’er casually nodded and repeated, then the next moment, her face changed drastically, "What? What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly!"

Perhaps due to speaking out the first time, Liu Xuan’er seemed more relaxed when she spoke again. She looked up at Su Pan’er and then bowed again, "Your Highness the Empress, this servant is pregnant. It’s His Majesty’s child!"

Su Pan’er staggered back three steps, suddenly slumped into a chair, her face deathly pale as she stared at Liu Xuan’er, as if she didn’t recognize her.

After a long while, she leaned forward again; "Say it once more!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant is pregnant. The child is already two months along."

This time, Liu Xuan’er spoke even more smoothly.

"Impossible! You must be deceiving me, aren’t you?"

Su Pan’er asserted, suddenly lunging forward and grabbing her hand.

The pulse phase was steady, strong and powerful, causing Su Pan’er to swallow the words she was about to say and staring into Liu Xuan’er’s eyes, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

The sound of teeth grinding came through, "Do you know that deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine clans?"

"Your Highness, this servant understands, but this servant is willing to share His Majesty’s worries, willing to share Your Highness’s worries."

Liu Xuan’er’s eyes shone with a bright light, "Your Highness, once this servant gives birth to the child in her womb, all those rumors out there will fall apart of their own accord, and it can also relieve His Majesty of the danger. By then..."

Liu Xuan’er had no certainty in her heart; she was making a gamble!

A gamble for a future, her success or failure hinged on a single word from the Empress.

"You better think clearly about this!" She gazed into her eyes.

Liu Xuan’er nodded slightly, "This servant has thought it through."

"Good."

Su Pan’er, instead, sat back down in her chair, quietly observing her. After the initial shock passed, she calmed down and then said with a smile, "How rare, how rare, since you, little sister, are with child, just focus on keeping yourself well from now on. Tomorrow, I will report this to His Majesty and have your allowance increased. No doubt, sister’s rank should also move up."

Liu Xuan’er blushed shyly, bowing slowly, "This servant thanks Your Highness for your generous love!"

Su Pan’er generously accepted her courtesy, "Hmm, by the way, how many months along is the child?"

"Already more than two months. The Imperial Physician said the child is doing very well."

Liu Xuan’er gently stroked her belly, her face full of smiles.

"Very well, you go back and take good care of yourself. Later, I will send someone to deliver your allowance."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Liu Xuan’er left, happily thanking Su Pan’er with light steps.

As soon as she left, Qingwen jumped out from behind, "Your Highness, that Liu Xuan’er doesn’t take you seriously at all! How detestable!"

Nanny Xiao’s face turned as white as a sheet, "She’s pregnant too, if... what shall we do?"

"What’s there to fear, we’ll resist the soldiers with the generals and the water with the earth."

Su Pan’er said indifferently, getting up and walking into the study.

Qingwen stomped her feet anxiously, "Your Highness, how... how can you be so unruffled?"

"What is there for me to be anxious about?"

Su Pan’er found it amusing, "That Liu Xuan’er is still a virgin!"
