The little fox does not want to hide the cub

The young man's words contained too much information, Jiang Shen couldn't react for a while, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"You said you..." Jiang Shen cleared his throat and asked uncertainly, "You said what happened to you?"

"I'm pregnant with your son." Li Ruan lowered her head and stroked her flat belly, "It's right here, so I can't repair it recently—"

His voice came to an abrupt end.

Almost missed the point.

Li Ruan knew that mortals are very afraid of monsters.Previously, Jiang Shen quickly accepted him, probably because he was too badly injured and unable to resist, so he had to be dragged into the cave by Li Ruan.But even so, when they met for the first time, he still frightened Jiang Shen into a faint.

Now that Jiang Shen has returned to the mortal world, and there are so many subordinates by his side, if he finds out that he is a demon, maybe they will directly ask his subordinates to drive him away.

That would be troublesome.

Li Ruan pursed her lips, a little annoyed.

But he really doesn't know how to act.

Li Ruan actually didn't feel anything when she was pregnant with Jiang Shen's cub.He is a demon who has lived for many years. Unlike ordinary people, at his age, the reliance on blood relatives has become very weak.

If he really wanted to say it, he even found it troublesome.

Since having this little boy, he always feels tired and hungry, and his spiritual power is also constantly draining.

Can't practice, let alone ascend.

It is really troublesome.

But the appearance of this little brat is not all bad, at least... he can come to see Jiang Shen.

Li Ruan has been very happy ever since she knew she was coming to see Jiang Shen.I had been happy for several days, and now I really talked to him, and my whole body jumped for joy.

It is really difficult to act out the kind of grievance that the little tit said.

Li Ruan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, Jiang Shen didn't speak for a while.

This has happened more than once or twice in the royal family.

Not to mention those royal family members who are extravagant and dissipated, even the ministers who are close to Jiang Shen have such people.She has a dissolute personality, especially loves to be promiscuous outside, and when she provokes others, she turns around and abandons them all the time. As a result, those innocent women can only go to Beijing with their children to find someone. Every time they make trouble, it is a scandal.

Jiang Shen also helped someone with a similar matter last year, and finally persuaded him to hire three matchmakers and six people, and carried him into the mansion eight times in a sedan chair.

But if this happened to anyone, it couldn't happen to Jiang Shen.

He is the most self-denying and respectful in his life, how could he do this kind of thing with others before getting married.

What's more, it's obvious...

Jiang Shen glanced at the opponent's chest.

It is flat, even a little thin.

Obviously a boy.

It's impossible for a man to get pregnant, right?

In fact, there is nothing to hesitate about. Jiang Shen has never heard of the anecdote of a man's pregnancy since he was a child.

But the young boy in front of him had a serious expression and sincere eyes when he spoke, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

Moreover, if he really wants to lie, he should tell a story that he can trust more, instead of telling such a lie that no child will believe, right?

There was a moment of silence in the courtyard, but a voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard: "Your Highness, I seem to have heard voices, is there anything unusual in the courtyard?"

It's Yu Xiu.

As the commander of Jiang Shen's bodyguard, he has been guarding outside the courtyard.But without Jiang Shen's order, he didn't dare to peep inside, so he could only inquire outside the courtyard separated by a wall.

There was a trace of panic on the boy's face.

"Don't let them in." Li Ruan stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Shen's hand, lowering his voice, "Don't let them see me."

Jiang Shen's heart trembled slightly.

At that moment, all the hesitation in his heart was left behind, and the first thought that came to his mind turned out to be——

How could his hands be so cold?

I don't know if it was because of standing in this yard for too long, but the boy's hand was very cold, and the slender and cold fingers hooked his hand, and the touch from the palm was extremely soft.

It makes people want to hold it back and help him warm up.

The ancestral temple is located in a deep mountain, and the mountain wind is very strong at night.The boy was only wearing a thin layer of commoner clothes, and half of his hair was blown up by the wind, making his figure even thinner.

How can he wear so little?

Jiang Shen didn't even notice that he strayed from the focus point, so he couldn't help asking: "Don't you have any other clothes?"

"Ah?" Li Ruan was taken aback by his question, and looked down at his clothes, "Can't you wear it like this, I'm already wearing shoes."

What do you mean?

Did you not even have shoes before?

Jiang Shen frowned.

Yu Xiu's voice came from outside the courtyard again, because Jiang Shen didn't answer for a long time, the voice was a little bit lower, and seemed a little worried: "Your Highness, can this subordinate come in?"

The boy gripped Jiang Shen's hand even tighter.

The cold touch was conveyed through the palm, Jiang Shen looked down at the boy's eyes, those clear and beautiful eyes contained the slightest undisguised panic and tension, and even a little bit of grievance.

It's not pretending this time, it's really a bit wronged.

Jiang Shen's memory was erased by Li Ruan himself, so he doesn't mind that Jiang Shen doesn't recognize him now, nor does he mind that he treats him coldly.But he didn't want Jiang Shen to drive him away. If Jiang Shen became wary of him, and even started to hate him, it would be very difficult for him to get close to him.

It was so hard to meet him...

Li Ruan clenched his hands tightly, but couldn't think of what to say to make Jiang Shen believe him.

At this moment, Jiang Shen opened his mouth softly.

"It's okay." He still stared at Li Ruan, his voice amplified slightly, but he wasn't talking to him, "I just came out to get some air, everyone back down."

A quick response came from outside the hospital: "Yes."

Li Ruan blinked.

Jiang Shen didn't let someone come in to drive him away, so did he believe him?

Jiang Shen turned half a step to enter the room, but saw that the young man was still holding his hand, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, a little foolish.

Jiang Shen felt helpless in his heart, wanted to laugh but held back: "Let's talk in the house, isn't it cold outside?"

Li Ruan: "...Oh."

Li Ruan followed Jiang Shen into the house.

Until he sat down at the table, he kept holding Jiang Shen's hand.

In Jiang Shen's memory, no one dared to be so close to him. He glanced at the hands that the boy was holding on to, and the boy let go as if realizing something.

The moment he let go, Jiang Shen twisted his fingers, subconsciously wanting to keep him.

He coughed lightly as a cover-up, and looked away, but the boy still stared at him.

The young man was really not good at hiding his emotions. After Jiang Shen let him into the room, his mood improved visibly, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Jiang Shen without turning his eyes.

Jiang Shen asked: "What do you see me doing?"

"I just want to see you." Li Ruan said calmly, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Shen: "Really, how long?"

Without hesitation, Li Ruan said, "If you don't count today, it will be 39 days."

It is said that there is no time in the mountains, and Li Ruan never remembers the days, but he remembers every day when Jiang Shen left.

Thirty-nine days was the time when Jiang Shen left him.

It was also the time for Jiang Shen to return to the capital.

Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

Answering the date does not mean anything.It is a big event when the crown prince returns to Beijing. It is not a secret that many people came to join in the fun when he first entered the city.

Jiang Shen thought for a while, then probed again: "You said just now that I forgot you, how long have we been together? Where are we?"

"We have been together since winter, just at..." Li Ruan hesitated, "In the mountains."

Jiang Shen: "What mountain?"

Li Ruan didn't want to mention Changming Mountain, so he said vaguely, "It's just...in a mountain outside the capital, my family lives there, you were injured and passed out at the door of my house, I was the one who healed you."

Jiang Shen could hear the intentional concealment in his words, and fell silent again.

Why do you want to hide your place of residence? Could it be that you are really lying to him?

The doubts about the young man are far more than these.

For example, this ancestral temple is now heavily guarded. How did such an ordinary boy of unknown origin avoid all the guards, break in easily, and even barged in front of his room?

During this time, in order to retrieve that lost memory, Jiang Shen made a lot of noise.It is not impossible for someone to deliberately pretend to be his savior to find him after hearing the news.

Whether it is for climbing high branches or for other purposes, this is a good opportunity.

Jiang Shen understood all these principles.

He also understood that his best course of action should be to ask the guards to take the young man away so that he can interrogate and investigate to find out where he came from and what his purpose is.

but……

For some reason, he softened at that moment.

Maybe it was because of the boy's aggrieved and flustered expression, maybe his cold fingers, or maybe it was some other reason, in short, Jiang Shen didn't want him to be taken away by the guards.Those guards under him are all rough warriors, if you hand him over to them, you will inevitably suffer some grievances, and maybe even be bullied.

He didn't want the boy to be bullied.

Jiang Shen thought for a moment, then asked, "Did I leave you any token?"

Li Ruan: "The token?"

"It's something that can represent identity." Jiang Shendao, "Didn't I give you anything?"

Li Ruan blinked blankly.

It really doesn't.

This should be regarded as Jiang Shen's poor consideration at the beginning.

He didn't know that his memory would be erased before, but he only thought that the little fox would probably not go to the capital to look for him. Even if he really wanted to look for him, the little fox had such powerful mana that it was easy to see him, and he didn't need to show anyone any tokens.

Therefore, he did not leave any special tokens for Li Ruan.

"You have some clothes with me, but I didn't bring them out." Li Ruan pursed her lips, then thought of something, then lowered her head and touched her stomach, "Does this count...your son."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Jiang Shen pressed the center of his eyebrows: "Are you really...pregnant?"

Li Ruan: "Yes, otherwise why would I come to you?"

"But you..." Jiang Shen looked up and down and confirmed again, "You are not a woman."

"Well, I also find it very strange." Li Ruan said, "You must have a problem."

Jiang Shen: "..."

How come he has a problem? ? ?

Jiang Shen wanted to ask again, but Li Ruan suddenly yawned: "Why do you have so many questions, can I ask again tomorrow?"

"I know you don't remember anything now, there must be a lot of things you want to ask, but I'm so tired."

Li Ruan rubbed his eyes, looking very sleepy: "It's so hard to find here, the chickadee can't find a way at all, and took me around several mountains...can we go to bed first?"

Jiang Shen's eyes moved slightly: "Who is the tit, who told you that I am here, and how did you get here?"

"A tit...it's just a tit."

Drowsiness struck, Li Ruan's mind became even more immobile, and he almost slipped his mouth again.He thought for a while, deliberately pretended to be extremely tired and sleepy, and stood up staggeringly.

Jiang Shen subconsciously wanted to help him, but suddenly threw him into his arms as if the boy was not standing still.

The young man had a fresh breath like jungle vegetation, his body was cool and soft, and Jiang Shen froze instantly.

It's not all deception.

Li Ruan was really tired.

Ever since he put on that fox cub, he has often felt sleepy.Today, after driving for such a long time, he waited outside the ancestral temple until late at night before he dared to come to Jiang Shen, and now he is struggling to answer his many questions, his physical strength has reached its limit.

It is really impossible to answer Jiang Shen's question anymore.

As for this behavior... it's the way he learned to seduce people in those days.

As long as he hugged Jiang Shen like this, the other party would immediately respond to his request and would not say anything more.

I don't know if it's still suitable after amnesia.

Li Ruan secretly thought in his heart, resting his head on the side of the other party's neck, and rubbing it affectionately: "I'll ask again tomorrow, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never seen such a person who can't see outside, and he didn't even know where to put his hands: "Hey, let go first—"

"Jiang Shen." The boy suddenly called him softly, "I'm so happy."

Jiang Shen was taken aback.

Xu Shi hadn't felt this familiar embrace for a long time, Li Ruan's spirit relaxed almost immediately, and even his voice became soft and soft.

"I thought we would never see each other again, but I didn't expect to see you again."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember me, it's enough for me to remember."

"It's great to see you again..."

There was a smile that couldn't be hidden in that voice, and it seemed to be coquettish.

Jiang Shen's tense body relaxed bit by bit.

What happened tonight was ridiculous.

Whether it was the young man's appearance or what he said, it was so absurd that people couldn't believe it.

He had countless reasons why he shouldn't trust this boy, but he just couldn't push him away.

What if it was true?

What if...he really forgot?

Jiang Shen turned his head to look at the face that was close at hand.

In fact, when the young man rushed forward, he saw a bit of deliberation.But this time it was gone.The young man seemed to be really about to fall asleep, his eyes were lightly closed, and he put all his weight on him unpreparedly, not even worried that Jiang Shen would suddenly let go and throw him to the ground.

If this is also acted, he acted very well.

Jiang Shen breathed a sigh of relief soundlessly, picked up the young boy, strode into the inner room, and gently placed him on the bed.

As soon as the boy touched the bed, he curled up comfortably, his body shrunk into a small ball, like some kind of small animal.

Also looked unsuspecting.

Jiang Shen stood by the bed and looked down at him for a while, then suddenly asked in a low voice, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"I'm not lying to you." Li Ruan said vaguely, half asleep and half awake, "I lied to you like a puppy."

Jiang Shen finally laughed: "...Okay."

The next morning, Jiang Shen woke up before dawn.

There was an extra stranger in the house for no reason, Jiang Shen was vigilant throughout the first half of the night, fearing that there would be another disturbance.

But nothing happened. The boy was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. He didn't even turn over the whole night. Whatever position he took before going to bed, he remained in the same position in the second half of the night.

——Jiang Shen, who stayed up all night and stared at him in a daze, looked like a fool.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Shen was no longer vigilant against him, but he still couldn't sleep.

This strange young man came to the door in the middle of the night, and immediately occupied Jiang Shen's bed without notice, so that he could only lie down on the small couch outside.

After returning to Beijing this time, Jiang Shen's sleepiness has almost been cured.In the past, as long as the bed was slightly unsatisfactory, he couldn't rest, but now, he can sleep with any clothes on the floor, and he doesn't choose at all.

So he couldn't sleep, but it wasn't because the couch wasn't comfortable enough.

Still because of this boy.

Is the young man the one who rescued him earlier, did he lie, what is the purpose of coming to him, he said that he was pregnant...Of course, this one cannot be true.Jiang Shen was thinking about these things all night, and he couldn't figure it out. He didn't even know when he fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, I was naturally too tired to lift my spirits.

Today is the first day of the ancestor worship ceremony. According to the procedure, Jiang Shen will preside over the ceremony early in the morning and worship the ancestors in public.

Can't sleep late.

Jiang Shen got up a little angry, got up and looked into the inner room, the boy was still sleeping soundly, like a pig.

... more angry.

Standing by the bed, Jiang Shen stretched out his hand to pinch the young boy's flushed cheeks, with a kind of vengeful mentality that if you don't let me sleep, I won't let you sleep well.

The touch from the fingertips was warm and soft, and the boy frowned and moved slightly.

"Jiang Shen, don't bother me..." The boy whispered, "I don't want to come again..."

Don't want to come again?

what?

Jiang Shen suddenly remembered what the boy had accused him of.

Assuming the boy hadn't lied, Jiang Shen really forgot about him.And assuming that the teenager mistakenly thought that he was pregnant with a child for some reason, does that mean that they had already...

Jiang Shen's gaze slowly moved down from the boy's face.

Last night before going to bed, Jiang Shen kindly helped the boy take off his shoes and socks, and covered him with a quilt.But at this moment, the quilt had been kicked to the foot of the bed, the boy curled up, and the neckline was mostly loose because of a night's sleep.

The white porcelain-like texture inside and a delicate collarbone are half hidden.

The boy's figure does not look like he is pregnant at all, his waist is slender, as if one arm can be completely wrapped in his arms.

The hem of his clothes was not long, and his slender legs protruded from the bright red clothes, which made him whiter and smoother.

Jiang Shen swallowed, and looked away with difficulty.

Should...should not be?

Put people to sleep, and forget about them.

Is he a beast?

Jiang Shen stood there for a while with a complicated expression, lowered his head, and looked at a place that was radiant early in the morning.

... Are you a beast too?

Jiang Shen was still a little dazed when he went out, he walked out of the courtyard, and a young man in black was standing there.Seeing him coming out, he quickly knelt down.

"Your Highness." Yu Xiu asked, "There are still two hours before the ancestor worship ceremony, why did you wake up so early?"

"Can't sleep." Jiang Shen pressed the center of his brows wearily, and ordered softly, "Find me a private courtyard to take a bath."

Yu Xiu was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong with this courtyard?"

This ancestral temple is naturally not as good as the Crown Prince's East Palace or other palaces, but the courtyard assigned to Jiang Shen is already the best in the entire ancestral temple.

It's fine, why change it?

"There's nothing wrong with it, just go if you're told." Jiang Shen didn't bother to explain, and waved his hand.

Yu Xiu had no choice but to say "yes" and turned to do it.

Yu Xiu has been by Jiang Shen's side for many years, and he can be regarded as one of his most trusted people.He quickly arranged a brand new side courtyard. Jiang Shen didn't ask anyone to serve him, leaving only Yu Xiu to wait.

The steam was steaming, Jiang Shen soaked himself in the water, and finally relaxed the exhausted nerves that had been tensed all night.

He leaned against the soup pond and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Yu Xiu stood outside through a barrier, and a voice came: "Your Highness, you should put your body first."

Jiang Shen opened his eyes, but didn't understand what he wanted to say.

Yu Xiu said again: "Your Highness is working so hard on government affairs day and night, how can your body bear it in the long run?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

Yu Xiu didn't know what happened last night, but seeing Jiang Shen's tired expression, he thought he was wasting his time on government affairs again.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Jiang Shen thought wildly all night, thought about everything, but forgot about government affairs, and never thought of it for a moment.

If it weren't for the great importance of the ancestor worship ceremony, he wouldn't even want to go out this morning.

Jiang Shen cleared his throat, and replied calmly, "Understood."

Yu Xiu didn't speak anymore, after a while, Jiang Shen called him again: "Yu Xiu, come in."

The young man walked around the screen and walked in.

Yu Xiu is the same age as Jiang Shen, and has mastered the superb disguise technique. In many cases, he can directly replace Jiang Shen to do some things.But his actual appearance is not bad, he is not extremely outstanding, and he is more heroic.

Jiang Shen sized him up for a while, then asked, "You haven't married a wife yet, have you?"

Yu Xiu: "This subordinate has not yet married a wife."

Jiang Shen: "Is there anyone you like?"

Yu Xiu: "?"

"Hey, what my highness means is that if you have someone you like, you can tell it, and my highness will make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Xiu said without doubting him, "Yu Xiu only wants to serve His Highness and protect His Highness in his life, and has no intention of marrying a wife and having children."

"Don't be so absolute." Jiang Shen paused, thought about his words, and asked slowly, "If one day, you feel that you have forgotten something very important, and at this time, a stranger happens to come to your door, Accusing you of always giving up and forgetting him. Would you believe it?"

Yu Xiu looked at Jiang Shen, his expression blank for a moment.

Jiang Shen emphasized: "Assumption."

Yu Xiu said "Oh", thought for a while, and said seriously: "My subordinates believe that one-sided words cannot be fully believed."

Jiang Shen: "But he looks good."

Yu Xiu: "..."

Yu Xiu: "This subordinate once heard a word."

Jiang Shen: "What?"

Yu Xiu: "The more attractive a person is, the more he can deceive others."

Jiang Shen looked at him for a moment.

Yu Xiu lowered his head: "This is also a one-sided statement, Your Highness does not have to believe it."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Jiang Shen nodded thoughtfully.

He ordered again: "You go down first, and guard the courtyard where His Highness lived last night. From today onwards, don't let anyone get close, and don't let..."

He paused and didn't finish speaking.

Don't let that little guy in the yard get away either.

Ever since he was a child, no one had dared to tell such a big lie in front of Jiang Shen.No one dares, and no one can cheat.

Whether that is a little liar or not, he will find out sooner or later.

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes, remembering what he saw before going out this morning, the defenseless sleeping face of the young man, a smile curled up on the corner of his lips.

After the ancestor worship ceremony was over, he would come back and conduct the interrogation in person.
