Chapter 202 Qingshi, can I kiss you?
Yun Qingshi then held his injured hand and began to question, "What bad things did you do by sneaking out behind my back late at night? Tell me."
Xiao Jiwu found it amusing. He lit a candle, sat down, rubbed the boy's head and said, "In such a short time, what bad things could I do?"
Hearing this, Yun Qingshi first looked up at Xiao Jiwu from head to toe. After not seeing anything, he asked again: "So, what were you doing out so late? Why didn't you wake me up?"
It was indeed not long ago, and he had just woken up.
Prince Xiao patiently replied, "Ask the assassin Ying Yi about his trial and assign tasks to several secret guards."
"As for not waking you up, it was because you were sleeping soundly at that time and I really didn't want to."
Xiao Jiwu then asked with concern: "Would you like some water?"
Xiao Jiwu hesitated for a moment and did not mention the matter of the eternal lamp.
Can't bear to...
Well, Yun Qingshi couldn't help but shy away when he heard those three words.
However, Xiao Jiwu's answer was reasonable.
Yun Qingshi no longer doubted and shook his head: "Not thirsty."
After a pause, he asked Xiao Jiwu again: "So, how is the assassin's interrogation going? Are there any results?"
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Jiwu climbed onto the couch and sat down beside the young man before answering, "Not yet, but Yingyi is confident that he can find out by tomorrow's interrogation."
Yun Qingshi nodded and responded, "Okay, if you have any results, remember to tell me."
Xiao Jiwu nodded in agreement.
But looking at the boy's well-behaved appearance at this moment, his mind couldn't help but become active.
His throat rolled, but he couldn't help but asked seriously, "Qingshi, can I kiss you?"
They hadn't been intimate for over a day since jumping off the cliff, and it was very hard for him to endure.
Yun Qingshi:???
......
Facing Xiao Jiwu's affectionate eyes that seemed to be able to speak, Yun Qingshi almost couldn't resist on the spot.
But just as he was about to nod in agreement, he braked in time.
Yun Qingshi rejected Xiao Jiwu with a serious face: "No."
He hasn't figured out what to do next yet, so he can't hang around like this now.
Besides, Xiao Jiwu hasn't even seriously pursued him yet, so he can't give up so early...
Hearing this, a hint of sadness flashed across Xiao Jiwu's eyes, and then he lowered his eyes in disappointment and nodded in response: "Okay."
Yun Qingshi: ...
What kind of lost cat is this...
Didn't you just not let me kiss you? Why are you acting so pitiful?
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but sigh, and when he met those pitiful eyes full of grievance, he was no longer so determined.
Never mind, it doesn’t matter what, he thought.
After a moment, Yun Qingshi lifted the man's chin with one hand and gently kissed the corner of Xiao Jiwu's lips briefly.
And Prince Xiao's eyes widened significantly in an instant.
Although the happiness was fleeting, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Jiwu asked happily, "Didn't Qingqing say no?"
Yun Qingshi pretended to be calm and said without question: "If you kiss me, it's not okay, but if I kiss you, it's okay."
The domineering CEO's remarks were somewhat embarrassing. Yun Qingshi coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment, and then urged him to go to sleep: "Cough, all right, go to sleep quickly, and don't talk anymore."
Xiao Jiwu also obeyed, nodded and lay down.
Yun Qingshi struggled to lie back on the bed with one hand, then confidently gave Xiao Jiwu an order: "Turn off the lights."
Xiao Jiwu then stood up and extinguished the light again...
————
For Yun Qingshi, being locked in the house and unable to go anywhere was really torturous.
In the past, Xiao Jiwu would take him out to listen to books and watch plays from time to time, but now, let alone leaving the mansion, he can't even leave the house.
Even if there are good storybooks, they are still very boring.
Fortunately, three days have passed, and today is the fourth day of his recovery.
He could finally get out of bed and walk around openly, and go out to the yard to see the white clouds and big trees.
During these three days, two of the captured assassins died from torture, and the remaining five confessed.
All five people wrote the same confession, so there was no falsification or wrongful accusation.
However, the result was beyond Yun Qingshi's expectations. There was actually more than one person behind the scenes. It was done by Prince Su and Prince Rui together.
No wonder there are so many assassins.
In addition to Xiao Jiwu investigating this matter, the Ministry of Justice was also ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, but there was no result so far.
Yun Qingshi was thinking that if Xiao Jiwu had not investigated it personally, this matter would probably have no result.
Or, the emperor would just randomly arrange a scapegoat to take the blame.
However, even with the assassin's confession and the assassin's testimony, the evidence is still not enough.
What Xiao Jiwu meant was that they still needed to find solid evidence from Prince Su and Prince Rui.
After all, the emperor has always been partial.
Just two days ago, the emperor sent someone to deliver a large cart of supplements. I wonder if the other party has already guessed the mastermind behind the scenes.
This was all the information Yun Qingshi knew. Xiao Jiwu did not tell him about the complicated situation in the court, nor did he ask.
It was afternoon when Yun Qingshi and Xiao Jiwu took a short nap.
After drinking some tea to wake up, Yun Qingshi suggested standing in the yard for a while.
Xiao Jiwu has been busy collecting evidence these days and can't stick with Yun Qingshi all the time.
But after hearing the young man's plan, he immediately stood up and found a cloak to put on Yun Qingshi's shoulders. He then carefully tied the silk ribbon and reminded him worriedly: "It's winter now, and the weather is cold. Stand outside for a while. If you feel cold, come in quickly. Don't forget that you are still injured."
Yun Qingshi nodded perfunctorily after hearing this: "I know, I know."
Xiao Jiwu rubbed the boy's head with amusement before letting him go.
Yun Qingshi did not leave empty-handed either. He picked up the box of dried fruits with his uninjured hand and left the bedroom.
After entering the yard, Yun Qingshi first took a long breath of the outside air, and then looked around the yard.
After a circle, his eyes fell on the pavilion in the southeast corner of the yard.
There was a stone table and stone benches in the pavilion, and he planned to sit there.
After making the decision, Yun Qingshi headed towards his destination.
Zhao Mingde followed him with a worried look on his face, protecting him so that he could catch him in time if he accidentally fell.
Because the confidentiality work was done well enough this time, even Zhao Mingde was not aware of Yun Qingshi's actual injury condition.
He just kept reminding anxiously: "Master Eleven, please go slowly. You have only been bedridden for four days. You still need to be careful."
Yun Qingshi thought that if he stayed in bed any longer he would really collapse. After all, his injury wasn't really that serious, and his back had already hurt enough from lying in bed these past few days!
