Chapter 88 Like Shen Er

Shen Yue muttered a little softly, and the prince didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"Nothing, so the brocade box was originally empty? The prince anticipated someone would come and steal it, so he took the contents away in advance?"

Xiao Yuheng shook his head.

"Is there a possibility that there was nothing in the brocade box?"

"Nothing?" Shen Yue was so shocked that her mouth almost dropped.

She remembered that when Codename Six was deployed on the mission, he said that he was going to the palace not for assassination, but for the brocade box.

Over the years, in addition to her, the Nether Palace has also placed many people in the palace, such as Yao San and Peng Lei.

Although she didn't know what was in the brocade box, she knew it was extremely important, otherwise the Nether Palace would not have sacrificed so many people for it.

"What's the point of the Nether Palace's deployment over the years? You royal family are such scoundrels."

"What are you talking about?"

The man's face darkened and he raised his hand to grab her ear.

"Is it because I've been too kind to you recently that you dare to act so presumptuously?"

Shen Yue raised her eyelids innocently, "Yes."

“…”

A certain prince was unable to refute, he really spoiled Shen Er these days.

"When you get to the capital, don't say such nonsense. It's a capital offense, okay?"

"Yes, I know. I only dare to be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty. I would never speak like this at other times."

Shen Yue didn't know what magic this sentence had, she only knew that the Dog Prince was no longer angry after hearing it. He not only let go of her ears, but also rubbed them happily.

"How does the prince plan to deal with Jiang Da?"

"Since there's no evidence, how can we deal with him? Just let him go."

Xiao Yuheng said lightly, his attention still on her ears. He clearly didn't use much force just now, so why is it still red? Shen Er's skin is really delicate.

Shen Yue was a little anxious, "Aren't you afraid that he will reveal the secret of the brocade box? If they knew that the brocade box they had been planning for so long was actually empty, they might become desperate and do something desperate."

"No, they dare not act rashly before the secret decree is revealed."

"Secret decree?"

Shen Yue seemed to have heard some great secret, and her heart was filled with excitement:

"What secret decree? Could it be that the late emperor originally wanted to pass the throne to you, but Your Majesty snatched it away? So, are we going to the capital to usurp the throne..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yuheng frowned and covered her mouth.

"You're talking nonsense again. How many heads do you need to have to chop off?"

Shen Yue snorted nonchalantly and said vaguely: "You won't cut me anyway."

At this time, Xiao Yuheng's hand was still covering her lips. As soon as she spoke, a warm and itchy feeling aroused in the palm of her hand. Xiao Yuheng felt a little uncomfortable and silently withdrew his hand.

"Back then, just as my mother was pregnant, the late emperor passed away. Before his death, he left a secret decree for my mother to preserve her life. The gist of it was that if my mother and I were killed, it would be the new emperor's doing, and all the officials could execute him."

"Ah?" Shen Yue was stunned.

She had heard the shadow guards discuss that the late emperor was almost sixty years old when he took in Concubine Rou. It was understandable that Xiao Yuheng was favored as he was born in old age, but issuing such a secret decree was still too exaggerated, right?

Regardless of whether His Majesty intended to harm Xiao Yuheng, just looking at the contents of this secret decree, no matter who killed Xiao Yuheng, it would be attributed to him. This was like a ticking time bomb for him, and he would definitely try every possible means to retrieve the secret decree. Therefore, it was very likely that the Nether Palace was secretly working for His Majesty.

Shen Yue was analyzing secretly when she suddenly felt a chill under her feet. She looked down and found that Xiao Yuheng had taken off her boots at some point.

"Ah! What are you doing?" she exclaimed.

Xiao Yuheng was also startled by her shout, "Your shoes have been wet for so long. If you don't take them off, your feet will be damaged."

"I, I can take it off myself."

Shen Yue turned around in a panic and took off the other boot.

"My socks are wet too."

...Okay, anyway, she wasn't the kind of ancient person who would give herself to someone just by looking at her feet, so she took off her socks very readily.

This time Xiao Yuheng was stunned again.

These feet... are really a little small.

Not only are they small, but they are also white and tender, and the toes are round and plump, which is a bit cute.

"What are you looking at!" Shen Yue retracted her feet warily.

Xiao Yuheng has been acting weird lately. Not only does he hug her, he also keeps pulling her ears and hitting her head. Today, he even took off her boots.

This is not normal, not normal at all.

Could it be that...

"My Lord, are you attracted to me?"

Xiao Yuheng was shocked when he heard this. Did he see through it?

If Shen Er saw through it, did his retracted foot movement mean that he hated his touch?

In the past two days, he flipped through the storybooks written by Shen Er. Most of them were stories between men and women, and there had never been a single one describing the love between Long Yang. This meant that Shen Er could not possibly like men, and even less like men's touch.

In fact, wasn't he the same? When he thought about that kind of relationship between two men, he would feel disgusted and disgusted, but his love for Shen Er was real.

He doesn't like men, but he likes Shen Er.

Only Shen Er can do it, no one else can.

"Your Majesty?"

Shen Yue thought Xiao Yuheng was frightened by her outrageous remarks and couldn't help but comfort him: "I was just teasing you! How could you possibly fall for me, haha!"

"What if the king says yes?"

Xiao Yuheng didn't know why he asked this question.

He only knew that if he didn't speak up now, he might never have the courage to speak up again.

"W-what?"

Shen Yue was a little doubtful about her ears.

"I'm telling you, if I really fell in love with you, what would you do?"

Xiao Yuheng asked this question with great seriousness, his eyes filled with intense anticipation. Shen Yue was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously moved back.

But soon, she adjusted her breathing, moved closer to Xiao Yuheng, and patted his shoulder.

"Your Highness, you know that I am as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger. Your body can't handle it. Haha!"

Realizing that Shen Yue was teasing him, Xiao Yuheng lowered his eyelashes in frustration and smiled bitterly.

"Your shoes and socks are wet, so you have to sleep in the car tonight and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Shen Yue was about to refuse, but the man had already leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes.

Okay, anyway, Xiao Yuheng's car is covered with thick cushions, which is very comfortable, much better than sleeping on the grass, it would be a waste not to sleep on it.

So Shen Yue lay down on the small couch opposite Xiao Yuheng and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Hearing the even breathing sound from the other side, Xiao Yuheng slowly opened his eyes, stood up and covered her with a thin blanket.

Looking at her lying there quietly on her side, breathing lightly and sleeping soundly, Xiao Yuheng smiled gently, raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, and his slightly rough fingertips covered her lips.

What to do, he seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into him.

But this little fool seems to have no idea.
