Chapter 69

Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Touch me?"

Hearing her voice, Jun Rong suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head to meet Xiao Yu's clear eyes, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat: "No...it's okay, I—"

The rest of the voice was stuck in his throat and he didn't say it, because Xiao Yu suddenly took a step forward and stretched out his hand towards him.

Looking at the white and slender hand in front of her, Jun Rong couldn't help blinking.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Yu's hands were a little too white, and a little distorted in beauty.

Jun Rong hesitated and stretched out his hand, and gently placed it in her palm, with a bit of tentativeness, as if he was afraid that if he was stronger, the person in front of him would turn into flying frost and disappear.

Although Xiao Yu has a delicate mind, he can't help but feel a little powerless when facing Jun Rong. This guy's little head is full of stuff all day long. He is really like a little rabbit who is easily startled. Always on alert and vigilant, but full of curiosity about the outside world.

He always takes a step back, as if he will retreat back into the cage at any time.

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Yu finally ran out of patience, stretched out his hand and grabbed Jun Rong's fingertips, and pulled the man in front of his eyes, Jun Rong didn't stop, and threw himself straight into Xiao Yu's arms inside.

Both the mouth and nose were buried in the fur collar of Xiao Yu's cloak, "Well——"

While holding his hand, Xiao Yu hugged his waist, looked down and saw him nibbling his lips, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, are you awake or sleepy? Are you thinking wildly again? I am a real person It's not a ghost, don't be afraid."

Jun Rong didn't dare to look up, because he felt his face was burning from the inside out.

It seems that smoke can be emitted in the next second.

He said sullenly: "Yeah."

Xiao Yu looked down at the top of his head, and suddenly stretched out his hand to gesture: "It seems to be a little taller?"

Jun Rong suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up: "Really?"

Xiao Yu let go of him with a chuckle: "It's fake."

Junrong: "..."

Meeting his accusing eyes, Xiao Yu smiled like a scumbag and spread his hands: "I don't say that, are you going to bury your head in my fur collar until the end of time?"

Jun Rong touched his nose silently and muttered softly: "I will grow taller."

"Well, well, he will grow taller. Our Highness will be a man of indomitable spirit in the future, much taller than me."

As she said that, she smiled and clasped Jun Rong's hand: "Stop making trouble, let's go, tell me directly what you want to do or what you want in the future, sometimes I am not careful enough, and I can't guess what you think, so I will ignore it. If you don't tell me, I won't pay attention."

Xiao Yu turned the lantern to Junrong's side, "I forgot that you are afraid of the dark, hold me now, isn't it much better?"

Jun Rong pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Well, I'm not that scared anymore."

"Ah."

After that, the two of them didn't speak any more, they walked quietly on the quiet corridor, the moonlight was as clear as water, and sprinkled on the ground, stretching their backs very long...

Outside the imperial study room, Zhou Xi stood guard at the door, rubbing his hands and exhaling as he walked. It was a cold winter night, and he felt like he was going to become an ice sculpture after standing for a while.

The other little eunuchs didn't dare to move casually, they could only look at Zhou Xi eagerly.

Zhou Xi was preoccupied with something and was in no mood to pay attention to them.

Footsteps came from not far away, Zhou Xi hurriedly looked up, "Oh, your highness, son—"

Zhou Xi hurriedly went down the steps to meet him, "My servant greets His Highness and His Royal Highness. Why doesn't His Highness bring a few more people on such a big night? Why does His Royal Highness carry the lamp himself?"

Xiao Yu handed the palace lantern to Zhou Xi with a calm expression: "Winter night is not suitable for traveling, so I won't bother other people."

As she spoke, she looked past Zhou Xi and looked at the brightly lit Imperial Study Room behind: "Is he here?"

Zhou Xi nodded: "Here we are, Commander-in-Chief is waiting inside."

"Ah."

Xiao Yu nodded, pulled Jun Rong up the steps, walked to the door of the imperial study and said to Zhou Xi: "You guys are guarding outside, you don't need to come in to serve, and don't let anyone disturb you at will."

"Yes."

Zhou Xi stood at the door holding the palace lantern and watched the two of them enter.

He also thoughtfully closed the door for others.

His eyes rolled a few times, and he had an intuition that something big was about to happen.

……

Shang Meng, the Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, heard the movement behind him, turned around and saw Xiao Yu standing side by side with Jun Rong at the door, and hurriedly knelt down to salute: "The last general sees His Highness, sees Prince."

Xiao Yu let go of his hand, turned his head to look at Jun Rong, Jun Rong's fingers scratched in the air with nostalgia, then quickly dropped down, and hid it in his sleeves, he looked at Shang Meng, imitating Xiao Yu's appearance, and sank down The voice came: "Excuse me."

Shang Meng didn't get up immediately, he waited for Jun Rong and Xiao Yu to walk past him, and then slowly stood up.

"I don't know if Your Highness summoned the last general late at night, what is your order?"

Jun Rong sat on the throne at the top, and Xiao Yu sat down first, with the hot tea prepared by Zhou Xi in hand, Xiao Yu picked it up and took a look, didn't drink it, just held it in his hand to warm it up.

"Well...the prince has something to discuss with you."

Jun Rong looked at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu gently removed the lid of the cup, and took the words, "A large number of assassins appeared in the Xianrong Palace to assassinate His Highness the Eighth Prince, but the Imperial Forest Army knew nothing about it. I didn't ask Commander Shang immediately. Messenger, but after so many days, Commander Shang should give me an answer, right?"

Shang Meng's expression turned serious, and he clasped his fists at Xiao Yu and said, "The last general cleared up the Imperial Forest Army on the night when the incident happened, and found that suspicious people were detained for interrogation, but there has been no progress yet."

"Why is there no progress? Is it because you keep your mouth shut, or is there no evidence?"

Xiao Yu's eyes fell on Shang Meng casually, Shang Meng hesitated for a moment: "No, everyone is dead."

"died?"

Xiao Yu paused, and the lid of the cup hit the wall of the cup with a crisp sound.

Shang Meng's scalp tightened.

He looked at the eldest son who was several years younger than himself, and felt a little frightened. One was because he had a bad reputation, and the other was because he was sitting here right now.

If he doesn't have enough confidence and strength, how can a 13-year-old child dare to sit in the imperial study and question the commander of the Imperial Forest Army? (This official post was compiled by me, which means commander.)
Shang Meng bowed his head to avoid Xiao Yu's sight, and said in a low voice: "The general missed the inspection. I didn't expect them to be so violent. When they found out, they were all dead. They were all caused by poisoning. After the general found out, he immediately killed them." They sent people to arrest the cook and others who were in charge of the food in the prison, and found that there was indeed one missing. The old cook who had been in the prison for many years was missing.

At the end of the day, he quickly sent someone to investigate the details of the cook, and found that there was a problem with his household registration. The so-called hometown was fabricated, and there was no such person at all. As for the situation of his family... According to the current clues, he is single One person, no wife and brother. "
