The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Jiang Shen resolutely ignored the little fox's strange words, and comforted him: "You are not strange."

"The imperial doctor mentioned to me before that in the second trimester, such a situation may indeed occur, and it is normal."

This is one of the changes that pregnancy brings.

Jiang Shen had noticed when he got close to the little fox a few days ago that the little fox's body was more sensitive than before.In the past, if you wanted to make him excited, you had to at least kiss and touch him, but it's not like now, you can't stand it after just a few touches.

Jiang Shen's hand was still on the opponent's lower abdomen, and if he slid further down, he would touch a place that shouldn't be touched.After just saying a few words, the boy's breathing became more rapid, but he still insisted on enduring it until his eyes turned red.

"Is this normal?" Li Ruan asked in a low voice, "Then...then what should I do?"

Jiang Shen felt soft-hearted, lowered his head and hugged him into his arms.

Unknowingly, the little fox has actually changed a lot for him. If it was before, he probably would have ignored it and rushed forward to pester him for it.

"What else can I do?" Jiang Shen lowered his head and kissed him softly, and smiled lightly, "How can I just look at you like this and feel uncomfortable?"

Li Ruan was worried: "But do you feel that the essence is not enough again? If I continue to squander like this, what if you get sick again?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

He raised his head, the little fox couldn't stand being kissed by him, moved slightly, reached out and grabbed Jiang Shen's collar to catch up, but he grabbed his wrist again.Jiang Shen clasped the boy's hands, pushed him into the bed, and forced him to look at him: "Little fox, do you think I'm really bad?"

Li Ruan's eyes were red, filled with water vapor, and his expression was extraordinarily innocent.

In fact, it's not that Jiang Shen can't do it, but that all mortals are too fragile in the eyes of the Yaozu. Li Ruan is really worried that Jiang Shen will be used badly.

Jiang Shen knew what he was thinking when he saw his eyes, and gritted his teeth: "I have to find a way to reverse your misunderstanding of me."

Li Ruan: "How to reverse it?"

What responded to him was Jiang Shen's kiss again.

The lingering kiss went from shallow to deep, and then... Li Ruan didn't remember much.

An hour later, Jiang Shen hugged the crying teenager to take a bath.

It's like this every time. Before starting, I want to pester, as if I can't get enough.But after it really started, it didn't work for a while, and even because of my body's sensitivity recently, it couldn't work faster than before.

With him like this, where does he have the position to despise Jiang Shen?

He wasn't even fully enjoying himself.

The boy was already drowsy when he entered the water, Jiang Shen let him lean in his arms and helped him clean up bit by bit.

Once again, the line of sight fell on the slightly distended abdomen.

I don't know if Jiang Shen's intimidation that day had an effect, since that day, when the two fathers got close, this little brat never came out to make trouble again.Jiang Shen put his hand on it, and the little guy in his stomach moved slightly as if responding.

"Are you still awake?" Jiang Shen touched it through a thin layer of flesh, and said in a low voice, "Don't let your father suffer, come out earlier, do you hear me?"

The little guy moved slightly again. As for whether he understood or not, he didn't know.

A few days later, news came from the capital.

The Holy Majesty has already obtained conclusive evidence, proving that it is Qi Shi who secretly conveyed the news to the foreign spy.With the intention of rebellion, the Qi family took back the title and seized the family property. All members of the Qi family, including the second place in the exam this year, were all exiled.

The famous family that was originally the number one in the capital disappeared overnight.

"So, did they really collude with foreign spies?" After hearing the news, Li Ruan was most puzzled by this.

Jiang Shen just smiled: "A spy from a foreign country, it is not certain whether there is such a person."

There is no reason at all for the Holy Majesty to deal with anyone today.

It was delayed for so long before, just to wait to see the stance of other aristocratic families. As for the Qi family, since they turned to Xiangguo, this ending was already doomed.

"It's just a pity for that Qi Qiuming." Jiang Shen sighed leisurely.

After all, he was chosen by himself as the second place. He is a good talent, and it might be of great use if he stays in the court.It's a pity that under the imperial power, talent alone is not enough.

What this huge Daheng lacks most is talents.

After Li Ruan listened, she didn't answer for a long time, but just lowered her head and looked at her belly thoughtfully.

Jiang Shen noticed his reaction, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

A king must be cold-blooded and ruthless. A good person cannot be an emperor.This was something he had been taught since he was a child, but he always tried to avoid exposing the little fox to it.

He was worried that the little fox would find it difficult to accept his simple mind.

"I was just thinking..." Li Ruan rubbed his stomach and whispered, "Zizai has a lot to learn in the future, and I don't know if his brain is good or not, and whether he can learn so many things."

Jiang Shen: "..."

It turned out to be worrying about this.

Jiang Shen couldn't laugh or cry, Li Ruan said solemnly: "Don't laugh, this matter is very serious. If the country is destroyed, many people will be killed, it is a serious crime, and it may take several lifetimes to pay for it by dying. .”

This was something Jiang Shen had never considered.

Realizing that the little fox was really worried, Jiang Shen suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Little fox, you are very smart."

Li Ruan looked up at him.

Jiang Shen rubbed his head, and said softly, "You just don't understand the rules of the world, and you don't like to think about too complicated things. That doesn't mean you're not smart."

On the contrary, the little fox is very sharp most of the time, and lives more transparently than many mortals.

This is already the rarest thing in the world.

"So, our child will be smart too, so you don't need to worry." Jiang Shen paused, and then said, "Even if he grows up and thinks that his true ambition is not here, it doesn't matter, I won't burden the royal family anymore. in his body."

Jiang Shen knew best how much he had to suffer from being raised as a prince since he was a child.

This child, if he wants to, that's all. If he doesn't want to, Jiang Shen won't force him anymore.

After all, his little fox also suffered a lot to raise this cub, so Jiang Shen will naturally give him the best.

The two-month deadline promised by Emperor Chongxuan was approaching in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Shen couldn't find any reason to procrastinate, so he could only bring Li Ruan back to Beijing.

On the day they returned to Beijing, the two dawdled until the afternoon before setting off.

The carriage was staggering on the mountain road, Li Ruan was lying on the window to watch the scenery outside.

Jiang Shen asked him: "Do you want to vomit? Do you want to stop and rest for a while?"

"I'm fine." Li Ruan rested her head on her arm, and turned around feeling a little helpless after hearing the words, "I won't feel like vomiting a long time ago. The medicine of Imperial Physician Feng is very effective. Besides, we just took a rest half an hour ago. , do you still want to go back to the capital tonight?"

When Li Ruan said this, he said "oh" again: "However, you probably don't really want to go back."

Jiang Shen smiled lightly.

This is true, which is why those classics always say that people should not be too slack.

The days spent with the little fox were too pleasant, and he no longer wanted to go back to the capital, and he no longer wanted to participate in those messy battles.

Jiang Shen sighed silently, didn't think any more, and asked again: "Do you want to drink plum soup? I'll get you a bowl."

Li Ruan nodded: "Okay."

Li Ruan still likes to eat sour food. This plum soup was made by Jiang Shen the night before he set off. It has less sugar and more plums, which suits his taste.Jiang Shen poured out a bowl, skimmed off the crushed ice carefully, and handed it to Li Ruan.

Li Ruan was about to reach out to pick it up, when he suddenly felt something and turned to look out the car window.

Jiang Shen followed and looked over, just in time to see a long arrow coming through the air, the tip of the arrow was unbiased, just pointing in Jiang Shen's direction.

Jiang Shen's heart tightened.

At this moment, Li Ruan raised his hand lightly, and the long arrow stopped suddenly just before it pierced the carriage.

Then it landed slowly.

"There are assassins!"

"Be alert! Protect Your Highness!"

Everything happened too quickly, until the long arrow fell to the ground, and the accompanying guards shouted from outside the carriage.But Li Ruan had already looked away, and took the bowl of plum juice from Jiang Shen.

"It seems that there is an ambush again." Li Ruan sighed, "You are really hated."

Jiang Shen: "..."

There should be quite a few people ambushing here. After the first arrow stopped the carriage, more long arrows shot out from the woods.However, there was a precedent of Changming Mountain's interception before, Jiang Shen now has twice as many guards as before.

Several arrows were fired, but none of them could get close to the carriage.

What's more, even if the guards didn't stop him, there was still a little fox demon beside Jiang Shen.

Although this little fox demon is already drinking plum juice leisurely.

It seemed that Jiang Shen's nervousness just now was a bit redundant.

The noise outside the carriage did not stop for a long time, but the atmosphere inside the carriage was much calmer.Li Ruan finished drinking a bowl of plum juice, tugged at Jiang Shen's sleeve, and was about to ask for another bowl, when he suddenly felt something.

He tilted his head, and felt that the fighting outside had stopped, and another sound came.

"It seems...someone is coming."

Jiang Shen also heard it.

The chaotic sound of horseshoes came from far to near. Judging from the movement, it should be no less than the guards he brought.

The two looked at each other, Jiang Shen lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.

In the depths of the woods, a group of people came on horseback, and the person in the front still held a man in black in his hand.

The man in black had a barrel of arrows on his back, his throat was cut open, and he was already dead.

"Stop!" The guard stepped forward to stop him, "Who are you?"

The man in black was thrown in front of the formation, and the people who came got off their horses one after another, knelt down, and said in unison: "Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

It can be seen that this group of people are all well-trained people, but their clothes are very ordinary, with only a long knife on their waists, and they look a little dusty.If it weren't for this situation and this scene, it would be more like a businessman who travels to and from various places all the year round.

Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are you? Who asked you to come?"

"It's me." Another voice came from the woods.

The voice was low but gentle, Jiang Shen raised his eyes and saw someone riding a horse out of the woods.

The visitor was also dressed as a businessman, but more expensive, with a jade crown on his head and a ring around his waist.The man looked about 30 years old, still very young, his temperament was the same as his voice, calm and gentle, like a calm pool of water.

He rode his horse past the kneeling people, stared at Jiang Shen with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Ah Shen, long time no see."

"Indeed, it's been a long time." Jiang Shen looked at him for a moment, then laughed as well, "...Uncle Emperor."
