Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child



88 Sleeping Together

After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Niaoniao was a little sleepy.

Xiao Juan had an exclusive lounge in the Justice Department. He let Yu Niaoniao sleep there.

Although the lounge was small, it was well-equipped with bedding and other daily necessities.

Yu Niaoniao was really sleepy. Without thinking, she took off her coat, shoes, and socks, rolled into bed, wrapped herself in the blanket, and fell asleep.

When she woke up, she smelled the faint scent of medicine left in the blanket.

This was the Prince of Lang’s lounge, which meant he had probably slept in this bed before. Now that she was sleeping on this bed too, it was equivalent to the two of them sleeping together!

At the thought of this, Yu Niaoniao could not help but laugh. She dressed and walked briskly back to Mirror House.

Xiao Juan sat behind the desk and carefully reviewed the case. From time to time, he would write on it.

He heard footsteps and looked up at Yu Niaoniao. He saw that she was smiling and seemed happy. He asked.

“Did you encounter any happy events?”

Yu Niaoniao wanted to tease him, so she deliberately did not answer and asked instead.

“Do you know that you smell faintly of medicine?”

Xiao Juan really did not know about this.

He raised his right hand and sniffed the sleeve carefully. There did seem to be a faint bitter scent.

Then again, he suffered from stomach problems and often had to drink medicine. He didn’t like incense usually, so it was normal for him to smell a little like medicine.

Xiao Juan put down his hand and stared at her with his dark eyes.

“How did you know I smelled like medicine?”

Yu Niaoniao was waiting for him to say this. She immediately smiled widely.

“Because I smelled medicine in your bed!”

Xiao Juan was speechless.

Yu Qianqian did not seem to see his stiff expression and continued speaking with a cheeky smile.

“I wasn’t used to it when I first smelled it, but it felt pretty special after a while.”

Xiao Juan said stiffly, “Since you’ve already slept enough, work hard next.”

Then, he got someone to bring over a large stack of books and placed them in front of Yu Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao immediately stopped smiling.

Xiao Juan wrote a reply to the last dossier, then calmly stood up and said calmly.

“I have something to do outside. Do more and talk less here. When you’re done, make a list of the books with problems and put them on my desk.”

Yu Niaoniao had learned her lesson. This time, she was not mischievous and replied obediently.

“Sure thing.”

After Xiao Juan left, Yu Niaoniao immediately tilted to the side as if she had no bones and continued to read in a reclining posture.

It was best to lie down and read like this.

After lying on her side for a long time, she switched to lying on her stomach. After a long time, she changed to lying on her back.

The various positions kept rotating.

If she was uncomfortable lying down, she would have to stand up and perform a set of combination punches. The punches were dazzling and disorderly.

The Eagle Guard, who was watching from the shadows, was dazzled.

… .

After Xiao Juan left the Justice Department, he brought a team of Eagle Guards to the Imperial College.

Books that could be circulated on the market had to be reviewed by the Imperial College’s Chancellor.

Xiao Juan planned to take the list of prohibited books to the chancellor to get to him check how these books passed the review.

But the Chancellor had turned them away.

Xiao Juan had already expected this outcome. The court and civil officials had great opinions about the Eagle Guards.

They hated Duke Lang and his lackeys. As the pillar of civil officials, the Chancellor naturally did not treat Duke Lang well.
