Xiao Rou froze when she heard the gentle voice coming from her ears. The smile on her face disappeared, and her pale face looked as if she had seen a ghost.
The headphones that Shao Qingge handed her were made by Xiao Lou's card [Team Voice Headphones]. Shao Qingge also wore one in his ears, so he could also hear what Xiao Lou said. Just now, Xiao
Lou just said, "Sister, I am Xiao Lou, and I want to see you." He didn't expect that the princess's face would suddenly look so ugly. Her reaction was too strange, wasn't it?
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the woman in front of him.
Xiao Rou's ability to regulate emotions was first-rate, and she quickly calmed down. She said to Shao Qingge: "Mr. Shao, I'm glad to meet you. Thank you for the necklace you gave me. If Mr. Shao is willing to stay on the Blue Planet for two more days, I will come back tomorrow."
Find an opportunity to entertain you and your son. It’s too late today. My husband will be worried if I go back late.”
Shao Qingge quickly understood what she meant and bowed respectfully: "Princess, please go slowly."
She said a lot of polite words, but actually the last sentence was the key - her husband would be worried if she went back late.
Her husband is Prince Hermann, the crown prince of the Blue Empire. Xiao Rou held a charity dinner in a private name today. Although Prince Hermann was not present, he must have sent a personal bodyguard to protect her. On such an occasion, she and Xiao
If she meets Lou, she will inevitably attract attention. Maybe there are people from the prince around her who are watching her movements.
Xiao Lou said, "Sister, I want to see you," but she did not respond.
But when she spoke, she deliberately pressed the bump on the tiny earphones, so Xiao Lou could hear what she said.
Xiao Lou said considerately: "Sister, I'll wait for your arrangements. When it's convenient for you to see me, use the earphone to contact me."
Xiao Rou didn't reply, nodded towards Shao Qingge, turned around and left quickly.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the buffet dinner was coming to an end. Shao Qingge and Ye Qi followed Kevin and left the scene. Yu and Xiao, who pretended to be Mr. Zhou and his assistant, also left closely behind, and everyone met at the Ferris Wheel Hotel.
The real President Zhou was controlled by Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci. Tang Ci got sleeping pills from nowhere and made President Zhou sleep all day. Yu Hanjiang took off the mask pretending to be President Zhou and frowned: "The princess refused.
See us, she is being watched?"
Xiao Lou nodded and said: "She is holding a charity dinner in the hotel tonight and has invited a lot of people. It is normal for the palace to send people to protect her and monitor her by the way. It must be inconvenient for her not to meet me."
Ye Qi scratched his head and said: "This princess is very strange. When we showed her the video, her hands were shaking all the time; Professor Xiao asked to meet her, and her face was so pale that she looked like she had seen a ghost... She
Is it a friendly force or an enemy? If they stand on the opposite side of us and send someone to arrest us when we meet with Professor Xiao another day, wouldn’t we just fall into a trap?"
Xiaoye's worry is not unreasonable. The princess's attitude is currently unclear. No one is sure whether she will help Xiao Lou to solve the mystery of the year, or simply hand Xiao Lou, the prince who escaped from the palace, back to His Majesty.
But Xiao Lou thought it was worth taking the risk. After careful consideration, he said: "No matter what, I have to meet her. She must know many secrets. If she wants to be detrimental to me, it will be easy. We have Tao Yuanming."
A card that can teleport through time and space. As long as she wants to attack me, Brother Jiu will just pull me to teleport, and she won’t be able to catch me.”
Lu Jiuchuan agreed: "Anyway, we have no other clues to investigate now. Let's contact the princess first. When you go to see her, I will open a peach blossom garden. This space can exist for 3 hours, and any accidents during this period can be reported back at any time."
Hotel. Hua Ying’s starship is still waiting for us near the space station. Once the princess or Prince Hermann issues a wanted order to arrest us, we can escape on the starship at any time.”
Yu Hanjiang thought carefully about what the princess said before she left, and said: "What she means is that she will find an opportunity to 'entertain' Mr. Shao tomorrow. Then we will pretend to be Mr. Shao's assistant and go with her?"
Xiao Lou said: "Well, let's wait for her to arrange it. We are not familiar with the place here, so it's not easy to act rashly."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and looked at Tang Ci: "Will the bug that Mr. Tang put on that necklace be discovered?"
Tang Ci said: "Don't worry, everyone, I hid the listening device behind the diamond. It is very strong and cannot be seen from the outside. Unless they dismantle the entire necklace."
Xiao Lou frowned slightly: "It's a pity that Ye Qi's bugging range is only 500 meters. She returned to the palace..."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Without further delay, let's put on our invisibility cloaks and go explore the area near the palace."
Xiao Lou also meant the same thing, and the two hit it off immediately.
Yu Hanjiang borrowed one of Ye Qi's teleportation cards, and then used his light-as-a-wing Qinggong card. He grabbed Xiao Lou's waist and flew directly out of the Ferris Wheel Hotel.
Use the two cards of Qinggong + Teleportation together, like a trapeze artist.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Hanjiang brought Xiao Lou to the vicinity of the palace.
The interior of the palace was heavily guarded, with patrolling soldiers everywhere. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang did not dare to rush in. Anyway, they could hear the movement on the bugging device from 500 meters away. They circled the periphery of the palace and quickly located Xiao Rou's residence.
.
She lives in the Palace of Aquarius, and the entire palace is shaped like an exquisite bottle.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou held the other end of the bug, and there was a rustling sound in their ears, followed by Xiao Rou saying: "This is the sapphire necklace Mr. Shao gave me."
After a few seconds of silence, a man's cold voice sounded in my ears: "He is not related to you, so he gave you such a precious necklace when we first met?"
Xiao Rou smiled and said: "You are overthinking. Mr. Shao is a businessman from our Luoke Empire. He happened to travel to the Blue Planet recently and just visited me. After all, my current identity is your princess. He can't come to see me empty-handed."
Me?"
Prince Hermann then asked: "Besides giving the necklace, what else did he say?"
Xiao Judao: "He spent 50 million star coins to buy a diamond necklace and said he wanted to do his part for charity."
Herman chuckled: "It seems that Mr. Shao is a very kind-hearted businessman." He stood up and walked to Xiao Rou's side, his voice gentle and authentic, "I have no contact with businessmen from the Luoke Empire.
I don’t object, I’m just worried about your safety. Don’t forget, you are not alone now, you have to think more about the baby in your belly, do you understand?”
Xiao Rou smiled and said softly: "Understood, I will make an appointment with the doctor for a prenatal check-up tomorrow."
Herman was confused: "Didn't it just get checked last week?"
Xiao Judao: "I haven't been feeling well these past few days. For the sake of the child's health, I want to have another comprehensive prenatal check-up."
Herman thought for a moment and said, "There's no harm in being cautious. I'll go with you tomorrow."
Xiao Judao: "You are so busy, I can just go alone..."
Herman interrupted her with a smile: "How about that? As a husband and father, no matter how busy you are, I should take time to spend with you. What time did you make an appointment?"
Xiao Judao: "The person who examined me at St. Paul's Hospital before was Professor Edwin. He will be on duty tomorrow afternoon. I made an appointment to go to him for a comprehensive examination at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Herman nodded and said: "You have been tired for a long day, so take a good rest first. I will pick you up on time tomorrow afternoon."
The sound of leather shoes on the floor gradually faded away, followed closely by the sound of opening and closing doors, and the man's whisper to the maid: "Take care of the princess."
The maid entered the room and asked respectfully: "Princess, do you want to take a bath and rest now, or do you want to have some midnight snacks?"
Xiao Rou smiled and said: "Go get me some pastries. By the way, remember to remind me to go to St. Paul's Hospital for a check-up at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. My personal doctor, Dr. Edwin, has precious time and cannot be late."
The maid responded, turned and left.
Xiao Rou suddenly said softly: "Go to Dr. Edwin and tell him that I want to do another examination."
The maid didn't hear clearly and turned around: "Princess, what did you say?"
Xiao Judao: "I said, I will let Professor Edwin arrange everything... Herman is really too worried. In fact, there is no need for him to accompany me. He is so busy, and I don't want to trouble him for such a trivial matter.
"
The maid said: "He also cares about you. He loves you so much, everyone is envious of it."
Xiao Rou smiled: "Well, you go ahead."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were both wearing invisibility cloaks. Hearing this, he gently squeezed Yu Hanjiang's arm: "She made it very clear about the time, place, and people."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Well, your sister is indeed smart. Let's go back and arrange it first."
In fact, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang didn't need to make this trip at all.
When Xiao Rou was talking to Prince Hermann just now, she pretended to rub her ears and pressed the bumps on the tiny earphones in her ears. In this way, their conversation would be transmitted to Xiao Lou in real time.
Even without a bug, she still passed on the message.
She didn't show any flaws in front of Prince Hermann. She only said that she was going to have a prenatal check-up, but in fact, every word was hinting.
——Tomorrow, three o'clock in the afternoon, St. Paul's Hospital, Professor Edwin.
——Go to Dr. Edwin and tell him that I want to have another check-up and he will arrange everything.
This is the information Xiao Rou wants to tell her brother.
If Xiao Lou wants to see her, tomorrow afternoon is the best opportunity. If she sees Shao Qingge in the short term, it will arouse her husband's suspicion. Pregnant women have prenatal check-ups. This reason will not be suspected, right?
After returning to the Ferris Wheel Hotel, Xiao Lou looked serious: "My sister is indeed being watched. Prince Hermann has probably sent people to keep an eye on her. She has to personally tell her husband about meeting Mr. Shao in the living room today."
report."
Shao Qingge said clearly: "No wonder she doesn't dare to see you. I took a 50 million star necklace at the dinner, and with Kevin's introduction, the reason for formally visiting her is always justified. If you see her for no reason, it will definitely cause trouble.
Suspect."
She was so cautious, which made Xiao Lou feel even more uneasy.
Now that she is a princess, she cannot move freely. I don’t know how she has been doing well these years?
Xiao Lou took a deep breath, looked at Tang Ci and said, "Mr. Tang, please find Dr. Edwin as soon as possible. We must make all preparations before three o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Tang Ci checked the information very quickly, and Dr. Edwin was the most authoritative expert in obstetrics in the Blue Empire. In less than 5 minutes, he even found out the other party's house number.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other and moved overnight.
The two first took the wealthy man surnamed Zhou who had been kidnapped before back to his residence at the Ferris Wheel Hotel.
Immediately afterwards, they visited Dr. Edwin's residence.
The two of them sneaked into the professor's apartment without knowing it. The gray-haired professor had just finished taking a shower and was yawning as he walked to the bedroom. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the window. He was stunned. The next moment,
Someone grabbed her neck forcefully from behind, and a low, cold voice sounded in her ears: "Don't make any noise, don't move, the princess sent us here."
Edwin hurriedly raised his hands: "What's the matter?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "She said she wants to do another check-up. At three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you can arrange for us to go to St. Paul's Hospital."
Edwin understood: "I understand, let me go first."
Yu Hanjiang let go of him and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Edwin said: "Our hospital has a group of interns recently. I will get you two sets of white coats. When the time comes, you will put on the white coats and my student's name tag on your chest. Go to the duty room of the obstetrics and gynecology department at two o'clock in the afternoon to wait.
I."
Xiao Lou said politely: "Thank you, Professor."
Edwin was confused: "Did something happen to the princess? This is the emergency code she agreed with me. Who are you?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you yet. The situation is indeed urgent. You just need to make arrangements."
After coming out of the professor's house, Xiao Lou's expression was very heavy. He had not cared about this sister at all in these years. Maybe it was because his memory before the age of five was too vague, and he could not even remember what his sister looked like.
Is it difficult for your sister to live alone in a strange country?
This Professor Edwin should be one of the few confidants she has.
Xiao Lou sighed softly in his heart, he would be able to see her tomorrow, and everything had to be discussed after meeting her.
****
【Chapter 434, Meeting】
Of course, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang cannot show their true colors. After all, Xiao Lou's face has been publicly exposed at the birthday party, and there are many related reports in the news. Almost everyone in the Luoke Empire can recognize the prince, even now
There is no guarantee that you will be recognized in a foreign country.
Fortunately, he and Yu Hanjiang each have a [Mask] card, so they can disguise their character at will, which is equivalent to pinching their faces at will.
Xiao Lou turned himself into a 20-year-old freshly graduated college student, and Yu Hanjiang also turned himself into an intern. Both of them looked young and in line with what Edwin called an "intern doctor."
’s character.
At noon the next day, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came to St. Paul's Hospital in disguise.
Wearing white coats with intern name tags hanging on their chests, the two quickly passed the inspection at the hospital entrance and entered the obstetrics and gynecology building, where they found the room where Dr. Edwin was on duty.
Professor Edwin was sorting out the cases. When he saw the two of them, he didn't ask any questions and said, "Just follow me and study."
Xiao Lou glanced at the case information on his LCD screen - Xiao Rou has been pregnant for three months, and everything is currently stable. She is still pregnant with twins. She originally made an appointment for a check-up next month, but Xiao Rou suddenly made an appointment early.
, obviously so that Xiao Lou and the others could find an opportunity to sneak into the hospital so that they could meet her.
At 2:40 in the afternoon, Professor Edwin left the outpatient office, took two "interns" to the diagnosis and treatment area, and asked them to hide in a VIP examination room.
After a while, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang heard a familiar voice coming from their ears - it was Xiao Rou and Prince Hermann who had arrived.
Xiao Judao: "Professor, please check me again. In the past few days, I have always felt stuffy in my chest and uncomfortable in my stomach. I can't sleep well at night and I always have insomnia."
Herman frowned and said, "You're not feeling well, why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Rou said softly: "I don't want you to worry."
Herman said: "Professor, is her condition serious?"
Professor Edwin comforted her: "The princess may have a strong reaction in the early stages of pregnancy. Don't worry too much. The results of the last examination were normal. I will do a comprehensive examination for you today. Please come with me, Princess."
Herman wanted to follow, but the professor stopped him and said: "Please wait in my office for a moment. The examination room of the obstetrics and gynecology department is not convenient for family members to enter. I will call you later when I perform an abdominal color ultrasound on the princess. Please
You can see the two little babies through four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound."
Herman didn't think much, walked over with a smile, kissed Xiao Rou's forehead, and said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Xiao Rou was helped into the examination room by the gray-haired old professor.
As soon as she entered the room, she met a pair of clear and bright eyes. The man was wearing a white coat and looked like a young student who had just graduated. His facial features were ordinary.
Xiao Rou was startled: "You are..."
Professor Edwin said: "Princess, they came to see me last night."
Xiao Rou understood: "Professor, let me talk to them alone."
The old professor nodded and warned, "I'll give you ten minutes and I'll try my best to hold the prince back."
After he left, Xiao Rou took a step forward, stared into Xiao Lou's eyes and said, "Xiao Lou, is that you?"
Xiao Lou took off his mask and said with a smile: "Sister, long time no see."
The young man in front of him has handsome features and an outstanding temperament. He can vaguely see what his father looked like when he was young.
Xiao Rou grabbed his hand excitedly, her voice trembling slightly: "Why did you come here? It's very dangerous for you to do this! You don't know there is..." She paused, her eyes filled with worry.
Struggling, seeming hesitant to speak out.
Xiao Lou said: "There is also a prince who looks exactly like me?"
Xiao Rou's eyes widened: "How did you know?"
Xiao Lou said calmly: "I have seen them."
Xiao Rou's face turned pale, and her hands were tightly clenched at her sides.
Xiao Louwen said: "Sister, what do you know, can you tell me? Did I also copy it?"
Xiao Rou looked up at the handsome young man in front of her. Her fingers trembled slightly and touched Xiao Lou's forehead. Xiao Lou did not avoid it until her fingertips stopped at the hairline in the upper left corner of Xiao Lou's forehead.
She said softly: "You are my brother."
Xiao Lou was confused: "How did sister tell the difference?"
Xiao Rou's eyes were very soft. She choked and said: "My mother's health is not good, so I have been taking care of you in the years when you were born. Once, due to my negligence, I accidentally knocked over the cup and used it.
The hot water scalded you. You were not yet three years old at the time, and you kept crying. I held you in my arms and comforted you, but it didn't work no matter how hard I tried, I was scared..."
She gently touched the small patch of black on Xiao Lou's forehead: "After your injury healed, it left a scar. I'm worried that the scar will be ugly. If I send you to have plastic surgery, you will definitely be scolded by your father. I
So I secretly found a good tattoo artist and tattooed the scar in black. Normally it’s hidden by my hair and can’t be seen at all, but if I lift my hair it will be very clear. Only I know that nail-sized tattoo.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and suddenly realized.
On the day of the birthday banquet, His Royal Highness the Prince who attended the banquet had his hair styled very delicately, revealing his smooth forehead, high hairline, and no trace of tattoos at all. Therefore, Xiao Rou knew at a glance that he was not her biological brother.
She has been helping to take care of Xiao Lou since he was born, and she is the one who knows Xiao Lou best.
What's more, it was a tattoo left by her own hands.
Hearing that Xiao Lou was not a clone, but the real prince, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but feel a little complicated - no matter what Xiao Lou's identity was, of course he would protect Xiao Lou, but since Xiao Lou was the real prince, why did the engagement party?
Why doesn't His Majesty allow him to attend birthday parties and various important occasions?
Xiao Lou also thought of these doubts, took a deep breath and said, "When did sister know about the existence of clones?"
Xiao Rou said with a white face: "When you were five years old, I accidentally saw some terrible things. You were too young at the time, so I didn't dare to tell you. My mother had been recovering from illness in those years, and I didn't dare to tell you either.
She said that she was afraid of irritating her... Over the years, I have been thinking of ways, but there seems to be some agreement between Herman and my father. Since I married him, he has been secretly sending people to monitor my movements.
It’s hard to contact you, let alone see you.”
Listening to her choked voice, Xiao Lou felt soft and said softly: "Sister, don't blame yourself, this is not your fault. I have grown up, tell me everything you know, and I will find a solution.
of."
Xiao Rou nodded and said: "Not long after your fifth birthday, one day, your father suddenly called you over. Out of curiosity, I followed secretly, and then I found a man in a white coat entering the palace, smoking
He took a lot of your blood. You were unconscious at the time, and I don’t know what he wanted to do by taking your blood."
Thinking of the scene she witnessed that year, Xiao Rou couldn't help but tremble: "After a while, I went to the Imperial Central Hospital to see my mother, and once again saw the doctor who came to draw your blood that day. I always felt that the doctor was a little strange, so, I
Out of curiosity, he knocked out the nurse who was with him, put on a mask, pretended to be a nurse, and sneaked into the laboratory."
Xiao Lou whispered: "Then what? Did you see the clone?"
Xiao Rou nodded: "There are many five-year-old children soaked in nutrient solution who look exactly like you!"
Xiao Lou imagined that scene and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
Xiao Rou held her head with both hands and said in a breakdown: "I almost fainted and ran away in a hurry. I was afraid that I would be silenced if I knew something I shouldn't know, so I kept pretending that nothing happened. Not long after,
My father suddenly proposed to marry me to the crown prince of the Blue Empire. My mother was recovering from illness at the time, so I had no choice but to agree..."
Her eyes were full of tears. She looked at Xiao Lou and choked with sobs: "I'm sorry, Xiao Lou. My sister can't stay in the palace to protect you. I am a helpless girl. I was only 20 years old at the time. I
I didn’t dare to say anything, I was really too scared, and I had nightmares every night during that time.”
"It doesn't matter, no one can do better than my sister." Xiao Lou gently pressed her shoulders and said softly: "I lost a lot of memories when I was five years old. What happened that year?
?”
Xiao Rou's face turned pale, and she clenched her fists hard: "I, I don't know, but I guess those five-year-old copying children like you must have an important purpose. Otherwise, why would there be so many identical copies?
Where is the prince?"
Xiao Lou's face changed slightly: "So many? How many did you see back then?"
Xiao Rou didn't want to recall the horrific scene, gritted her teeth and said: "There must be hundreds of them. The laboratory is neat and tidy, and they are all nutrient solutions for raising children. Those children... some can still laugh, laugh.
He looks exactly like you."
The hair on Xiao Lou's back stood up, and he said in a deep voice: "In other words, I am a true prince raised by my sister. The scars and tattoos on my forehead were left by my sister, and my father and the king don't even know about it.
When I was five years old, Your Majesty used my blood to clone hundreds of princes? What on earth did he want to do?!"
