RUMOR HAS IT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS HIGHNESS' CHILD - Chapter 618

Chapter 618 Inquiry

Cherry Park closed its doors today, Liu Qirui has already cleared out all irrelevant personnel, and now the few people who can still stay in the theater can be trusted.

Yu Niaoyou asked: “Is everything ready?”

Liu Sixing responded quickly: “It’s been prepared a long time ago, look!”

Yu Niaoyou looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a dark coffin in the backyard.

Liu Qirui stood next to the coffin with three apprentices. They were all dressed in mourning, as if they were attending a funeral.

In order to make their performance more realistic, they also smoked their eyes with pepper in advance. At this time, their eyes were red and swollen, and they looked like they were crying out of grief.

Liu Sixing pushed open the coffin lid: “Time is limited, and there is no way to order a coffin with interlayers, so I can only ask you to make do.”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Juan already understood that they were going to pretend to be a funeral procession to sneak out of the city.

This idea is good, but whether it will succeed or not is uncertain.

Now they have no better ideas, and now they can only treat dead horses as living horse doctors.

Xiao Juan didn’t hesitate, and got into the coffin with Yu Niaomiao.

Liu Sixing said to them: “After the coffin is closed, it should be very stuffy inside. Just bear with it for now, and it will be fine when you get out of the city.”

Yu Niao nodded: “I know, thank you very much this time.”

Liu Sixing smiled embarrassedly: “Thanks to you, our troupe can make a comeback. You have been protecting us before, and now it’s time for us to help you.”

She carefully covered the coffin.

Liu Qirui led his apprentices to lift the coffin and left the theater through the back door.

Liu Sixing was wearing white linen clothes, walking in front with one hand holding the spirit tablet, and covering his mouth with the other hand, crying out of breath, and performed a widow who had just lost her husband vividly.

In order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances, the five of them have carefully dressed up, and their appearance is very different from usual.

Many passers-by on both sides of the street stopped to watch, but no one recognized them as people from Qirui Garden.

Many officers and soldiers can still be seen on the side of the road, and they are searching around with portraits.

Some officers and soldiers noticed the funeral procession. They took the portraits to compare and found that none of the five mourners was the person they were looking for, so they let them go.

The funeral procession arrived near the city gate without any risk.

Because all people who leave the city need to be strictly checked, the speed of leaving the city is greatly reduced.

At this time, there was already a long queue in front of the city gate.

The funeral procession stood at the end of the line.

They move slowly along with the team.

Seeing that the city gate was getting closer and closer, the hearts of Liu Sixing, Liu Qirui and others couldn’t help but hang up.

Especially when they saw clearly the people standing in front of the city gate, they became even more panicked.

In order to arrest Xiao Juan, not only the Jingzhao Mansion and the City Defense Battalion were all transferred, even the Sirius Guard had to help.

Coincidentally, the person on duty at this city gate is the Sirius Guard.

The leader among them is Wei Liao, the deputy commander of the Sirius Guard.

He sat in a chair with his legs crossed, drinking tea slowly, with a carefree appearance.

The Sirius Guards were not as leisurely as he was. They were all fully armed, and they worked hard to check every person who came out of the city.

All those who go out of the city not only have to take out the road citations, but also compare the portraits one by one.

But anyone who looks somewhat similar to the portrait will be taken down on the spot.

Liu Sixing is not afraid of anything else, but is afraid of being bumped into by Wei Liao.

If Wei Liao finds out their identities, they will be finished!

Liu Sixing was extremely regretful.

If they knew they would meet Wei Liao here, they would not leave this city gate in the near future!

But turning around and leaving now would definitely arouse suspicion.

She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Wei Liao would not recognize them.

The people in front left the city one by one, and finally it was the funeral procession’s turn.

Inside the coffin, Yu Niaoyou involuntarily slipped into Xiao Juan’s hand.

Xiao Juan held her back vigorously, comforting her silently.

The sound of conversations outside continued to enter the coffin.

“What’s your name? What are you doing out of town? Take out Lu Yin.”

“The surname of my family is Liu. This is the guide for my family. Although my husband came to the capital to buy goods, my husband suddenly contracted a serious illness and died of illness. My family had to temporarily buy a coffin and take my husband’s body back to my hometown with the servants for a good burial. , so it is considered that the fallen leaves return to their roots, and I hope that the officials can make it easier.”

Liu Sixing said while crying, while passing the road lead, he also passed a bank note by the way.

When the Sirius guard took the bank ticket, he quickly glanced in the direction where Wei Liao was. Seeing that Wei Liao was looking elsewhere and didn’t notice the movement on his side, the Sirius guard put the ticket into the box familiarly. In the sleeves, the attitude softened a little.

“We are all following orders, and we didn’t mean to embarrass you.”

Sirius Guard opened Lu Yin to have a look, and found nothing wrong, so he returned Lu Yin to Liu Sixing.

Then he took out the portrait, and walked up with another Sirius guard, comparing Liu Qirui with his three apprentices one by one.

The four of them are not at all similar to Xiao Juan in the portrait.

Sirius Guard put away the portrait.

Liu Sixing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She thought she would be fine, but she didn’t expect Wei Liao to stand up at this moment.

He walked slowly in front of Liu Sixing and looked her up and down.

Liu Sixing’s heart jumped to his throat.

She lowered her head, her whole body was stiff, and she didn’t dare to take a breath.

The Sirius Guard next to him hurriedly asked: “My lord, do you know this woman?”

Wei Liao didn’t answer directly.

With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly to the coffin, and said something abruptly.

“open to take a look.”

Liu Sixing became anxious immediately.

She wanted to stop her, but she was afraid that Wei Liao would find out her identity, so she didn’t dare to speak out rashly.

Liu Qirui and his apprentices were also terrified.

They froze in place and did not dare to move.

The Sirius Guards immediately gathered around, intending to open the coffin on the spot.

At the critical moment, Liu Qirui suddenly shouted.

“You don’t need to do it yourself, just leave the rough work to the grassroots.”

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to push the coffin lid.

When he heard his voice, Wei Liao looked at him twice.

The coffin was pushed away by a corner, Liu Qirui bowed his waist and said: “My master died of illness, and he didn’t look very good when he died. If you frighten my lord, please forgive me.”

Wei Liao took a step forward and looked down.

But there were two big living people lying in the coffin.

Xiao Juan hugged you tightly in his arms, and the two of them were staring at Wei Liao without blinking.

The eyes of the three meet in the air.

Wei Liao couldn’t help being stunned.

He subconsciously wanted to call for someone to come over, but he saw tears in his eyes and his lips slightly parted.

Although she didn’t make a sound, it was clear from her mouth that she was saying—

“please.”
