Chapter Twelve: An Imperial Decree (1)
A bright moon rose in the sky, the moon was shining with silver makeup, and the huge palace of Xinwang was bright. In August, Mid-Autumn Festival, this is a day for Chinese people to celebrate traditional festivals and reunion. The palace of Xinwang was also decorated with lights and a lively atmosphere of festivals everywhere. This is a happy day, but Zhu Yinglong didn't know that tonight was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he still locked himself in his study to think about the foggy situation in front of him. His head hurts, but he was still confused. Before he knew it, the sky was already dark.
The door creaked and opened a gap. There was no light on the study room, and a silver light belt shone in.
"Is it Yanhong?" The sounds of the people opening attracted the attention of the contemplative Zhu Yinglong, and asked in a low voice.
The one who came in was indeed for the woman, but it was not Yanhong. Yanhong was busy for the festival tonight and was no longer able to touch the ground. She was now in the garden, preparing to invite the prince and the princess to enjoy the moon and drink, and share the reunion festival.
"No, it's Xiong Liniang." Xiong Hu didn't know why she left her family and ran to him on this reunion night. She just had a voice in her heart telling her that it was her responsibility and she had to come over.
Zhu Yinglong heard this familiar voice and saw Xiong Hu's hazy and thin face through the moonlight. He couldn't help but feel a little sad and asked softly: "Is there any fire pie?"
"Yes!" Xiong Hu felt that the person in the room was staring at him at the moment, responded in a low voice, reached out to take out the fire snatch he carried with him, and with a light stroke, a ray of fire suddenly appeared in the study. First, Zhu Yinglong saw Xiong Hu's heart-wrenching white face, and then, Xiong Hu lit one candle after another in the study, and the whole room began to brighten up.
Watching Xiong Hu light up every candle, with careful movements, focused eyes, and even the cherry red lips that blow out the fire in his hand, were all imprinted in Zhu Yinglong's heart. A man is a very greedy animal. He really wants to keep this moment forever and add fragrance to the red sleeves. No wonder so many literati and poets yearn for a scene, and such a scene is now in front of him.
Carefully blowing out the fire in his hand. Xiong Hu looked up and caught a glimpse of Zhu Yinglong's obsessive eyes. His heart beat faster. His heart suddenly turned soft and he almost lost himself in the other party's eyes. But immediately thought that he had no intention of him, and immediately replied to a cold tone: "Your Majesty, my subordinates closely monitored the Shen Wu family, and found that she had been asking her subordinates about Shen Xi recently. It was nothing. It was understandable that the couple had a deep relationship, but she kept trying to contact the outside world without hiding her subordinates. According to the prince's instructions, we only monitored and did not take action. The people who contacted Shen Wu family have been monitored by their subordinates. My subordinates came to ask for instructions on what to do next."
Once a woman gets horny, it is much more stubborn than a man. If Zhu Yinglong didn't mean to her, how could she look at her with such a look? How could she explain to her? And why did she always hide from him? The reason is actually half of the fault of Zhu Yinglong, while the other half is Xiong Hu herself. That time when she mustered up the courage to express her feelings, Zhu Yinglong did not give her due resentment because of her absent-mindedness, which made her feel indescribable.
Especially for girls who are very arrogant inside, it is a huge blow, but Xiong Hu is a very rational girl. It is precisely because of this that she turns away Zhu Yinglong and doesn't give him any chance to explain. It's a bit revenge. The two of them are just consuming it. The more anxious Zhu Yinglong is to explain, the less she will give her the chance. The things that seem to be easy to solve are extremely complicated. This kind of thing cannot be discovered by the men and women in it.
When talking about Chen Wu's family, Zhu Yinglong hurriedly put aside his personal emotions and looked at Xiong Hu with clear eyes and asked, "Do you know who the other party is?"
"I am afraid of being alerted by the enemy, so I came over to ask the prince for instructions, but did not investigate in detail." Xiong Hu replied calmly.
"Then how did Mrs. Chen contact the outside world?"
"There is a maid named Lan'er next to Mrs. Shen's family. Every time she needs to buy something, she will ask her to accompany the purchasing team of the Biyuan. Every time she leaves the brigade with various excuses for a while. Her subordinates discover this secret, so they learn that she is connected with a cloth shopkeeper named Lan."
Zhu Yinglong frowned and asked, "Are we not purchasing all the costs of the Villa together? Chen Wu is a smart woman and will soon discover this rule."
"Yes, the protection of the villa is extremely strict. The people inside cannot come out without the orders of the prince. So my subordinate came up with this method and did this on purpose. After a few times, the Chen Wu family soon discovered it. Not only did they pretend not to know, but Lan'er came out and never contacted the shopkeeper of the cloth shop again. My subordinates were reckless in doing things and asked the prince to punish him." Xiong Hu said with a solemn look on his face.
"Forget it, you can't blame you all. This woman is so mysterious that she can't even see through me. You should have checked his background in the shop Lan in the cloth shop, right?" Zhu Yinglong asked.
"I let the shadow know a little secretly. The shopkeeper of the cloth shop surnamed Lan is a native of Kaifeng, and there is no doubt about it." Xiong Hu hesitated and replied. She thought she would be scolded. She knew Zhu Yinglong's character, and was prepared to be scolded. She knew that not only did not punish her but also excused her. She looked at him in surprise and buried this question deeply in her heart.
"It is suspicious only if it is not suspicious, but if it is not found, it is not possible for you to investigate him alone. You must check everyone who is in contact with him, as well as his ancestors for three generations, and I cannot let go of any of them. I don't believe that I can't find out his true identity!" Zhu Yinglong stabbed him gently on the table and said seriously.
"I understand, I will leave." After receiving the instructions, Xiong Hu didn't seem to be willing to stay for too long. She immediately thought about leaving. She was afraid that she would be unable to control her calm emotions for a second more.
"Slow down!" Zhu Yinglong stood up and stopped Xiong Hu who turned around and was about to leave.
"The prince has anything to ask his subordinates!" Xiong Hu turned around and bowed calmly.
Zhu Yinglong actually didn't know what he wanted to say when he called her. Besides, he didn't have the intention to talk about a relationship with Xiong Hu at this time. When he found out that Xiong Hu had called her, he couldn't say anything. He sighed and waved his hand, "You go first, if you have something to do, I will send someone to spread it to you."
Xiong Hu finished listening quietly, then turned around and walked towards the door without expression.
"What's wrong today? Why did Yanhong go wherever he went? He actually left me in the study and ignored me. It was already time, but he didn't even tell me dinner!" Zhu Yinglong sat down and sighed, complaining.
