The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Xu Yuan was led out of the palace again.

He came not in a carriage, but on a horse.The little eunuch brought his horse, Xu Yuan thanked him, and was about to get on the horse when a voice came from behind him.

"Don't you really want to stay for a light meal?" Naturally, it was Jiang Shen again.

Xu Yuan smiled and turned around: "I don't dare to disturb His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess when they are alone."

Jiang Shen pondered for a moment: "That's right, you'd better go."

Xu Yuan: "..."

Xu Yuan said: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."

Jiang Shen laughed.

He waved away the little eunuch beside him, walked up to Xu Yuan, and asked seriously: "You really have no idea about this case?"

Xu Yuan lowered his expression.

"There are clues, but no evidence."

Jiang Shen: "Let's listen."

"Using the government to spread the disease to the people, and making the magistrate look like he committed suicide in fear of crime, this person must be either rich or noble." Xu Yuan said, "But in the past few months, these few big figures in Beijing have been involved in related matters. There was no movement."

The people in the capital gathered together, if the people from the capital really wanted to spread the disease here, it would be impossible for them to not be in the limelight beforehand.At least you should inform your relatives and find a reason to avoid the limelight, or, at least, you should secretly hoard some medicinal materials and items.

But Xu Yuan searched for three months and found nothing.

He didn't even walk around with the magistrate.

"You wrote these in the letter of reply." Jiang Shen said, "Tell me something you didn't write."

Xu Yuan looked up at Jiang Shen.

He has known Jiang Shen for so many years, and it can be said that he has watched him step by step towards today.Jiang Shen has been extremely gifted since he was a child, and has grown rapidly over the years. Unknowingly, this person has become more and more like a king of a country.

At least, he has learned [-]% of the Holy Majesty's ability to read people's hearts.

Xu Yuan just said that the Xu family never intended to interfere with the imperial power, which is the truth.

In fact, he never felt that the Holy Majesty would pass the throne to others.

His Royal Highness the crown prince in front of him is the crown prince who was raised by the current emperor with all the power of the whole country and spent countless painstaking efforts to cultivate and polish him.

Throughout the world, there is no one who is more suitable than him.

Those who still can't see the situation clearly are either blinded by their own greed and trying to take the path of rebellion, or they are really stupid.

Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze and said leisurely: "What was not written is that the real culprit behind the scenes is not in the capital, but the scope is not large. Those who are not in the capital and want to disturb the situation in the capital and interfere in the internal affairs of the royal family, such as Japan, the Western Regions, and Turks who are about to make trouble recently, The general who has been stationed at the border for many years and controls the military power, and there is..."

For many years in the feudal land, he has always kept his own law and order, but recently he suddenly proposed to return to Beijing.

Prince Su.

Jiang Shen didn't answer.

He was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I just think... If it's really him, wouldn't it be a little too obvious."

If it was really him who did it, what is the difference between returning to Beijing immediately after doing such a big thing, and not calling yourself?

Not only is it not self-inflicted, but it is also self-inflicted.

Is his uncle so stupid?

"I'm not sure, is there no way out?" Xu Yuan said, "Isn't the Holy Majesty going to pass on the throne to you? If someone really covets the throne, of course they have to do something while the Holy Majesty is still in power. Have you rebelled?"

Jiang Shen: "You mean, he came back to force the palace?"

Xu Yuan quickly waved his hand: "I didn't say that, how dare I say that, am I dying?"

Jiang Shen chuckled: "Count."

He stopped talking again, Xu Yuan looked at him quietly, and asked: "You don't have a soft heart, do you? To be honest, it was very strange that Prince Su suddenly suffered from hysteria and went to the fief to recuperate. However, he has always kept himself safe these years , did not cause any trouble, and the Holy Majesty did not touch him."

"I know he was very kind to you when you were young, but in the face of the interests of the imperial power, brothers can turn against each other, let alone uncles and nephews? Don't be arrogant, turn around—"

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shen interrupted him, "If I had acted impulsively, the third child would not have been under house arrest for almost half a year. I asked you to bring someone to search his mansion back then. You don't know what my attitude is. ?”

"I know, I'm reminding you." Having said that, Xu Yuan sighed again, "But these are just my guesses, I can't find any evidence, it's useless, and I can only be scolded by His Royal Highness .”

Jiang Shen corrected: "I just reviewed two words on your letter, I didn't scold you face to face, do you think I scolded you today?"

Xu Yuan gets angry when he mentions this.

In the past few days, he was extremely anxious to investigate the case, and led his subordinates to stay up for half a month, but Jiang Shen kept urging him to report back.I reluctantly wrote a letter and submitted it, but when I got it back, my superiors didn't give me any advice, and only wrote two huge characters with a Chinese ink pen.

waste.

He was so angry that he simply lived in the Ministry of Justice from that day on, and didn't return home for a whole month.

If it weren't for the family's urgent affairs today, his father would have sent his whole family to kneel at the gate of the palace to show his loyalty to His Royal Highness, and he would not have stepped out of the gate of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Don't frown." Jiang Shen patted Xu Yuan's shoulder and comforted him, "Who in the entire capital doesn't know that Mr. Xu can solve cases like a god, and there is no case that Mr. Xu can't solve. Take your time, there is still time."

"I really can't figure it out." Xu Yuan was very depressed these days. Hearing what Jiang Shen said, he dragged him to complain, "Then I've searched all the people around the magistrate's house. The dogs went to investigate, but they didn't find any suspicious people with him, tell me, where did his medicine come from?"

"Besides, the magistrate committed suicide no matter what, but he never saw anyone else the day before he committed suicide. How did he know that you found Rongxia Village?"

He sighed: "There are no clues. I almost doubt whether there are really strange powers and gods in this world. Are these things all done for him by monsters?"

Jiang Shen's eyes moved slightly.

But he didn't say much, just casually comforted him a few words, and then sent him away.

Before leaving, he confessed one more thing: "After returning to Beijing, you can check for me the dossiers of the past few decades before and after the destruction of the country."

"What are you looking for?" Xu Yuan was startled, "You suspect the former dynasty? But the former dynasty has destroyed the country for more than 300 years, so there are still descendants in this world?"

Jiang Shen gave him a "do you think it's possible?" look.

Xu Yuan came to his senses and pressed the center of his eyebrows: "Leave me alone, I'm going crazy when investigating cases."

The young man in court uniform rode away in a daze, seeing the people walking away, Jiang Shen looked away, turned his head and walked into the palace.

Jiang Shen returned to the bedroom.

As soon as he walked into the room, he saw the fruit plate that he had just taken away was back on the table.The ice bowl was empty, as expected, with just a bit of crushed ice and fruit peel left at the bottom.

Jiang Shen smiled silently, walked around the screen and walked into the inner room.

Lying on the bed, Li Ruan smiled flatteringly at him: "You're back."

Next to the bed, there was a little white cat squatting.

Jiang Shen sat down by the bed, pinched the boy's face: "Did you do something bad behind my back?"

"No." Li Ruan arched into his arms, and said in a soft voice, "I've been waiting for you obediently."

Jiang Shen imitated his tone: "Is it true?"

Li Ruan: "Yes, yes..."

Jiang Shen: "So, you didn't eat the fruit on the table, it was Xiaobai's, right?"

The little white cat dropped a cauldron from the sky and raised its head suddenly.

Just when he was about to speak, he felt a sudden force in his throat, he opened his mouth, and only let out a few low meows.

Then I heard the young man say: "Should...it should be, you see, Xiaobai has admitted it."

Little White Cat: "..."

She is so wronged.

Obviously it was the son who forced her to take the fruit back, but she ate too eagerly and felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she clutched her stomach and went back to rest on the couch pitifully.

Because it was so uncomfortable, he even forgot to destroy the evidence.

What does it have to do with her?

The little white cat was speechless. Its front paws rested on the side of the bed to protest, but when it raised its eyes, it met the boy's gaze.The young man who usually looks so soft and harmless, even now he is still nestling in the man's arms and acting like a baby, does not have any fierce eyes when looking at the little white cat.

But the little white cat was still scared instantly.

She patted the crumpled mattress with her paws, retracted her body, and tried her best to shrink herself into a cat ball.

There was a cowardly "meow".

"Well, I really admitted it." Jiang Shen made a dazed look, and said, "Go find a place to face the wall and think about it. If you dare to steal it in the future, you will cut off your little dried fish."

The little white cat looked up in disbelief.

Are you a human?

But Jiang Shen no longer paid any attention to her intentions, and the little white cat could only leave with its tail between its legs, aggrieved.

He also pulled the door shut.

Jiang Shen put the boy back on the bed, and put his palm on his abdomen: "Is it uncomfortable again? Is it here?"

Li Ruan blinked: "I didn't—"

Jiang Shen: "Still pretending?"

Li Ruan looked at him for a moment, and stopped pretending: "...it's here."

Just as Jiang Shen came back from the palace, his palms were hot from the heat of midsummer.He covered Li Ruan's abdomen and rubbed it gently for him: "The fruit is too cold, you can't eat too much in the future."

Although Li Ruan's mana had recovered recently, as the child grew up, he was still somewhat affected.His body is no longer as strong as it used to be, and he is prone to fatigue and discomfort.

Jiang Shen guessed that it was mostly to give birth to the fetus with half mortal blood, and the body gradually became closer to mortals.

It is indeed a very hurtful thing to have children, even the monster race can't avoid it.

Jiang Shen sighed lightly.

This is really a very contradictory thing.

If he had a choice, he naturally didn't want the little fox to suffer.His little fox should be free to do whatever he wants, instead of worrying about the consequences if he eats two more fruits like he is now.

But without this child, they would not be where they are today.

The matter is almost unsolvable.

"It's all your fault." Jiang Shen lowered his head and complained to the slightly swollen belly, "Aren't the fetuses of the fox clan only pregnant for two months? Do you really want to stay here for ten months?"

The underside of the flesh was quiet, not daring to move.

"Okay, what are you blaming it for?" Li Ruan raised his hand and stroked his lower abdomen comfortingly, helping to say something nice, "Children grow up slowly, there's nothing I can do about it."

Jiang Shen was displeased: "It also prevents us from having fun at night."

Li Ruan's original comforting movements stopped.

"You're right." Li Ruan lowered his head and said seriously, "This is not good, you have to work hard to grow faster."

Only four months old fox cub: "..."

The little cub in the womb is silent now, no matter what the two fathers do, they stay quietly.Jiang Shen rubbed Li Ruan's stomach for a while, noticing that the other's stomach no longer had the slight convulsions as before, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you feel better?"

"Hmm..." Li Ruan buried half of her face in Jiang Shen's arms, her voice was weak, she didn't know if she was about to fall asleep, "It's no good, let's go down a bit."

Jiang Shen followed suit: "Here?"

Li Ruan: "Go down...no, go down a bit."

Jiang Shen paused.

Further down, we will encounter other places.

He looked down, Li Ruan's ears were slightly red, and his chest was rising and falling, obviously he was not about to fall asleep.

Jiang Shen understood.

He smiled lightly, lowered his head, and put it next to Li Ruan's ear: "Do you want me to touch there?"

The warm breath sprayed behind his ears, the boy trembled slightly, and his ears became redder.

He raised his head from Jiang Shen's arms, his eyes were moist.

Li Ruan responded in a low voice: "Think."

He paused, then said, "I seem a little strange."

In the past few months, he thought that Jiang Shen's body should not be squandered too much, and he should not indulge himself too much, but he actually endured it quite well.As long as Jiang Shen doesn't deliberately provoke him, he can hardly think about it.

But lately, it seems to be getting more and more difficult.

One or two times is not enough, and two or three times is not enough.Also, it's not the same feeling as before that wasn't enough.

I used to feel comfortable, so I want to be more comfortable, it’s just greed.

But now, it's more like an unquenchable thirst.

Just like today, Jiang Shenming just rubbed his stomach for him.

However, Jiang Shen's palm was warm and dry, and the hot temperature was transmitted to him through the clothes, which made him start to fantasize almost irresistibly.

Imagine how Jiang Shen would feel when he met him elsewhere.

Fantasy every time they were before.

Then... it became even more difficult to control.

"What should I do." Li Ruan sighed heavily, as if distressed, "I may continue to squander your body."

Jiang Shen: "..."

This is another strange word I learned from which script.
