The little fox does not want to hide the cub

"But I don't think that uncle of yours looks like a good person." After playing enough, Li Ruan said to Jiang Shen seriously.

Jiang Shen's cheeks turned red from being pinched by him, rubbed gently, and asked, "You don't like him that much?"

Li Ruan shook his head: "I don't really like it."

In memory, the little fox rarely felt such a strong hostility towards a person.

The person who made it clear that she didn't like it last time was Concubine Shu.

But at that time, it was because Concubine Shu's flaws were too great. Jiang Shen carefully recalled Jiang Chengzhou's performance in the carriage today, but he couldn't think of any major flaws in him.

Jiang Shen asked, "Why don't you like him?"

"I just don't like it." Li Ruan asked, "You don't believe him, do you?"

Jiang Shen also shook his head: "No."

Jiang Shen couldn't believe a word Jiang Chengzhou said in the carriage.

He did not show any flaws, but Jiang Shen didn't intend to get any important flaws out of Prince Su's mouth just by chatting a few words.If his imperial uncle was really easy to deal with, he wouldn't be the only prince who survived the seizure.

The more natural he behaved, the more suspicious Jiang Shen became.

Li Ruan nodded heavily: "It should be like this, you must not trust him."

Jiang Shen was puzzled: "Why on earth do you have such hostility towards him?"

Li Ruan let out a "huh" and didn't answer.

Ever since he had seen the face of Prince Su, he had no good impression of him.There are countless mortals in this world, and it is not surprising that there are a few people with the appearance of emperors, especially in the royal family.Physiognomy is just a destiny, a possibility, and whether you can finally reach this destiny depends on the efforts and opportunities of the day after tomorrow.

But since this appearance appeared, it proved that he could not have no interest in the throne.

Li Ruan couldn't tell if Jiang Chengzhou said that he didn't harm anyone.But he said that he came back simply to celebrate Emperor Chongxuan's birthday and didn't want to fight for the throne, Li Ruan absolutely didn't believe it.

But this cannot be said directly to Jiang Shen.

"Don't ask." Li Ruan thought for a while, but still didn't know how to speak, just said, "Anyway, beware of him, don't trust him too much."

Jiang Shen responded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two went to Su Wang's mansion for a while, and when they returned to the palace, it was already dark.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Eunuch Chang waiting there with people.

As soon as this familiar scene came out, Jiang Shen immediately guessed what was going on, and asked helplessly, "Father, won't you prepare another feast for me?"

"That's not true." Eunuch Chang bowed to Jiang Shen, and said kindly, "Your Majesty has already had dinner tonight, and he summoned His Highness the Crown Prince. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I want to talk to His Highness."

Jiang Shen: "..."

This time I didn't even have to eat, it's okay.

But Jiang Shen could guess why Emperor Chongxuan wanted to see him.

They had just swaggered into the city, and they were not in a hurry to return to the palace, but went to King Su's mansion first, it is impossible for Emperor Chongxuan not to receive the news.Even, he might have known the news long before they entered the city.

Jiang Shen never doubted that among the group of guards around him, Emperor Chongxuan had already placed eyeliner on him.

Of course the Holy Majesty had to go when summoned, Jiang Shen wanted to get on the imperial chariot while holding Li Ruan, but was stopped by Eunuch Chang: "Your Majesty only summoned the Crown Prince this time."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Before Jiang Shen could say anything, Li Ruan said first, "It's okay, then I'll go back to the East Palace by myself, you can go."

Li Ruan was mentally prepared for not being able to be together all the time after returning to the palace.

Especially when he came back this time, Jiang Shen had to face more and more complicated things, and it was absolutely impossible to stick to him every day.

The young man acted very sensible, but Jiang Shen was a little unhappy.Reluctantly, he ordered his followers to send Li Ruan back to the East Palace, while he followed Eunuch Chang to Qianqing Palace.

As expected, what Emperor Chongxuan wanted to ask was indeed Prince Su's return to Beijing.

Jiang Shen was thinking about his little fox in his heart, and he had no patience to deal with Emperor Chongxuan. Before he could ask him in detail, he talked about how he met Prince Su today, and how he went back to Beijing with him in the carriage. Everything was said.

Emperor Chongxuan was a little dazed when he said it.

Jiang Shen said a long list in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he raised the teacup in front of him and took a sip of his saliva, and asked, "That's what happened today, is there anything else you want to ask, Father?"

Emperor Chongxuan was stunned for a rare moment, and then cleared his throat: "So, you think Prince Su came back for no other purpose?"

Jiang Shen said truthfully: "I don't know."

Emperor Chongxuan: "I don't know, then try it."

Jiang Shen frowned: "Your minister, are you going to try?"

"Otherwise?" Emperor Chongxuan acted as if he should take it for granted, "Now you are the one who wants to be the emperor. If he really does something, he will take your throne. If you don't try, who will try?"

Jiang Shen: "..."

Emperor Chongxuan was about to take a rest at the moment, he was wearing a dark purple inner garment, sitting on the couch, under the light and shadow of the candlelight, his complexion seemed to have improved a lot.

And I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Shen always felt that Emperor Chongxuan seemed to be in a particularly good mood tonight.

He said leisurely: "Prince Su hasn't returned to Beijing for many years. From tomorrow onwards, you will take him to the capital for me to go shopping and have fun. Anyway, you have always wanted to go out with Little Huangshu since you were a child. This time, it can be regarded as Did your wish come true?"

But he doesn't think so anymore.

Jiang Shen was silent for a moment, and replied: "...my minister obeys the order."

Emperor Chongxuan rested very early at night now, and today he waited until now to wait for Jiang Shen, but he was already a little sleepy.

He yawned sleepily and asked Jiang Shen to help him to the couch.

Jiang Shen waited for him to lie down, and when he was about to get up, Emperor Chongxuan grabbed his sleeve again: "Go out with your little uncle, you should be careful. If your little life is lost, my throne really doesn't know what to do." to whom."

Emperor Chongxuan's face was still haggard, but his eyes were still exceptionally bright in the dark.

When Jiang Shen was young, he was most afraid of seeing his eyes, because every time, when his father looked at him like this, what awaited him would be scolding.

But now, Jiang Shen met those eyes and smiled lightly: "If the emperor cherishes the life of my son, why didn't I remind my son to be careful a few times ago?"

Emperor Chongxuan was so well informed, it was impossible for him not to know what troubles and dangers Jiang Shen had encountered in these years.

He knew it, but he didn't intervene, and he even contributed to it behind the scenes.

It was because he wanted to see Jiang Shen break the game by himself.

He cultivated the prince in such a way, Jiang Shen knew it in his heart, but it was absolutely impossible to say that he had no resentment.

There is no child who does not hope that his father can treat himself better and protect himself more.

"The third time, I really didn't know." Emperor Chongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If I knew in advance—"

At least, he would send someone to follow him secretly, and he would not let Jiang Shen fall to the point where he almost died.

Emperor Chongxuan closed his eyes and did not continue.

He has been an emperor for more than ten years, playing tricks and seeing through people's hearts, but he can't be a father alone.In this situation, he didn't know what to say, nor how to say it.

Emperor Chongxuan was silent for a long time before continuing: "...As for the others, they can't beat you, and you don't need anyone's help."

Jiang Shen laughed lightly, got up and was about to leave.

Emperor Chongxuan said: "Prince Kesu is different from others!"

Jiang Shen paused.

Emperor Chongxuan lay on the dragon couch, his chest heaving slightly: "I know many of you have guessed in your heart, do you all think that Prince Su's madness is fake? You all think that he was pretending to be crazy back then. There is no way to escape from the capital and save one's life, isn't it?"

"...do you take me for a fool?"

"I used countless methods to test him back then, and I even took him to the cliff to watch him jump down, but he really jumped. If it weren't for the quick skill of my shadow guard, he would have become a person at the bottom of the cliff now. A corpse!"

"Jiang Chengzhou...he is indeed crazy. I would rather he was really crazy back then. Because if he wasn't, then he was a real lunatic."

"A lunatic who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals."

The night was dark, and Jiang Shen walked out of Emperor Chongxuan's bedroom alone.

The moonlight is perfect tonight, a full moon hangs high in the sky, and the entire imperial city is covered with a layer of silver light.

Jiang Shen stood on the stone steps outside Qianqing Palace and looked into the distance.

The palace with red walls and golden tiles is in sight, and in the distance, the high palace walls block the view, and the palace lights on both sides are bright all night, but it only adds a bit of coldness to this deep palace.

Jiang Shen suddenly remembered those days in Changming Mountain with the little fox.

At that time, the biggest daily worry was that winter came and I couldn’t hunt for food, so I was forced to eat sweet potatoes for several days.

But those days were much happier than now.

Jiang Shen has often felt recently that the days in Changming Mountain and the days when he met the little fox seemed to be time he stole from heaven.Let him have a moment of respite in this overwhelmed life.

Jiang Shen breathed a sigh of relief soundlessly, and suddenly noticed the sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

Every step of the opponent was very light, cautiously, slowly approaching him from behind.Jiang Shen's lowered eyes showed a little smile, he turned around the moment the other party was about to pounce behind him, and a soft body crashed into his arms.

"How did you find me?" Li Ruan looked up from Jiang Shen's arms.

Jiang Shen was helpless: "This palace is so quiet, and you didn't hide your footsteps at all. How did you find out?"

"I used to walk without footsteps." Li Ruan frowned, "It's all because of this brat."

He made a gesture to pat his stomach, but Jiang Shen grabbed his wrist and hugged him into his arms.

Jiang Shen lowered his head and buried his head in the opponent's shoulder, took a deep breath, and asked, "How did you get into the Qianqing Palace?"

"No mess." Li Ruan whispered, "Eunuch Chang asked me to wait here."

Jiang Shen answered vaguely, and asked again: "Since when did he treat you so well?"

"He has always been very kind to me." Li Ruan said, "And Yu Xiu, Xiaobai, the Holy Majesty is also very kind to me. However, you are still the best to me."

Jiang Shen smiled lightly.

Li Ruan asked: "Are you happier now?"

Jiang Shen was taken aback: "Why do you ask that?"

"Because you were unhappy just now." Li Ruan broke free from his arms and looked up at him, "Every time you see your father alone, you are not very happy, I know that."

"Hush." ​​Jiang Shen quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "We're still outside the Holy Palace."

Li Ruan opened his eyes wide, blinked cooperatively, and was walked out of Qianqing Palace by Jiang Shen's arms.

The eunuch in front of the palace gate has been transferred away, apparently for the convenience of Li Ruan sneaking in.With no one around, Jiang Shen came to the foot of the palace wall with Li Ruan in his arms.

"You little fox, you are becoming more and more lawless, you dare to say anything." Jiang Shen pinched the back of his neck.

Li Ruan shrank her neck, feeling a little guilty.

It is indeed because most of the people around him are kind to him, and now he is more and more forgetting about taboos in speaking and doing things.

"I'm not unhappy." After a long time, Jiang Shen whispered, "I just feel a little tired."

Li Ruan grabbed his sleeve and laughed: "That's why I came to you."

"Every time you see me, you will be happier, and I know it."

"I just thought about it. Although you are very busy now and may not have so much time to accompany me, I can come to accompany you. To make you happier, you won't feel tired when doing things."

When the young man spoke, his eyes were focused. Jiang Shen moved his hand to the side of his face, and lightly touched those beautiful eyes with his fingertips: "So, you came here specially to coax me."

Li Ruan nodded: "Yes."

However, there may be a little bit of selfishness.

Because as soon as he separated from Jiang Shen, he began to miss him.

Would love to meet him.

"However, I still feel a little tired now." Jiang Shen lowered his head, looked into those eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Can you coax me more?"

Li Ruan didn't speak.

He looked at Jiang Shen, and suddenly sighed softly, a little helplessly: "You are so clingy."

Then, he raised his head and kissed Jiang Shen on the lips.
