Chapter 425: Escaped? (Part 2)
"Oh, it turns out that the little shadow is taking a nap there, no wonder I can't find it," the three-year-old child is so innocent and pure. Zhou Heng quickly patted the little head and told him to go behind the fish tank to see the little black dog, while seizing the time to make a
He smiled and greeted the two people who came over as if nothing had happened:
"Are you discussing something?"
In fact, Zhou Heng's words were just a casual polite remark and should not be taken seriously. However, the two of them were really discussing things. For this reason, after hearing these words, they both murmured a few words in a low voice with uneasy expressions.
Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Before the two of them noticed it, he quickly turned around and smiled with a smile to see if the little guy had annoyed the sleeping little shadow. He didn't notice it. When she turned around, that
The two of them looked at each other in unison, both with solemn expressions on their faces.
Zhou Heng originally planned to put this afternoon aside for a few days, but now the time in the mountain town is indeed very leisurely, and there is really nothing to distract him. So before going to bed, he saw that the little guy had already clung to his side and fell asleep.
After looking at Chunying who seemed to be thinking about something and not falling asleep on the bed opposite her, she thought about it and decided to take the initiative to raise the topic.
Anyway, seeing that everyone still has to get along with each other for a relatively long period of time, I am now the person in charge, so I should ask some questions. What if it is not what I think?
Of course, the main reason why I don’t ask is because I am really (very) curious. Since I am idle, I might as well ask directly. Everyone in the dormitory used to communicate like this, and now I am with
Chunying is also considered a best friend.
So Zhou Heng turned around and asked with a very concerned look:
"Why, can't you sleep? What are you thinking about?"
Chunying was really thinking about things, mostly thinking about how to confirm that her prince had left the capital, and the other half, well, thinking about the dangers that Brother Bian would be in if he asked him to inquire.
Hearing Zhou Heng's question, he couldn't help but hesitated somewhat guiltily:
"I didn't think about anything..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, her girl actually raised her upper body and smiled at herself and asked:
"Really? Are you really not thinking about anything?"
"Really not..." Chunying felt that she couldn't resist. She thought of the way she and Brother Bian were in the kitchen in the afternoon when they saw the young master poking his head. You know, the young master is so valuable, let alone Miss Zhou herself.
, except when he takes a nap on weekdays, whenever he is in the yard, several guards will definitely be watching him. Even if he is chasing the puppy, he will not be allowed to run behind the kitchen alone.
What's more, the little black dog didn't run around, but was hiding and sleeping behind the fish tank. The young master said it himself. And when he and Brother Bian walked out, they happened to see Miss Zhou listening to the young master's whisper. Thinking about it afterwards,
, the young master is young after all, and the words he said when he poked his head out from behind the kitchen door, "I'm here to see the little shadow," quite hinted that there is no silver in this place. Maybe it was Miss Zhou who specifically taught him.
The young master is smart. Who knows how long he stood behind the door. Maybe he whispered to the girl after he went back. He didn't care about anything else. As long as he mentioned the word "Prince" to her... the girl must have been suspicious for a long time.
?
Otherwise, why would you ask yourself this question?
Forget it, the girl is a strong person, not to mention she and the prince have shared weal and woe many times. Now, Brother Bian can choose not to talk about the prince. After all, their serious master is the young master, but he is a member of Prince Jing's palace, and so was the prince before he came.
I have solemnly confessed that I must take good care of the girl, so I should tell her clearly about the matter in front of me! It would not be a good idea to make her worry too much later.
"Girl...Actually, there is something," so, under Zhou Heng's expectant gaze, Chunying finally spoke hesitantly:
"That's it... I'll tell you later, please don't be angry. After all, things are not certain yet—"
"Oh, I'm definitely not angry. I promise, just tell me!" Zhou Heng almost laughed out loud, and said he was not sure. It seems that his previous observation was right. These two people have grown up with each other these days.
Got it!
In the afternoon, I saw the two of them returning to the kitchen mysteriously. It must be the boss of the guard who confessed his love to Chunying. Didn't the little guy say that the two of them stood there without talking? They were not talking. He was a person who had been there before. It was such a special moment.
, it is clearly "everything is left unsaid"!
Alas, what should I do if I think of Ah Fu again...
Seeing that her girl looked happy but then sighed, Chunying gritted her teeth and tried her best to choose more tactful words and said:
"It's like this. Brother Bian went out during the day and heard someone saying that the prince has already, um, left the capital!"
Zhou Heng's smile froze, why didn't he say that the boss of the guard came to her to confess his love? Also, what does it mean that the prince has left the capital?
"That's what you two were talking about this afternoon?"
Chunying didn't think much about it. The young master was so young that he couldn't convey the message clearly. The girl definitely didn't expect that such a thing would happen to the prince, so she quickly sat up and explained to Zhou Heng:
"Miss, don't be anxious. This matter has not been verified clearly. So I discussed it with Brother Bian in the afternoon and decided to go out tomorrow to find out more about it before I tell you. Don't be angry either. The prince has not abandoned you and the young master. He will certainly
I had no choice but to—"
"Why am I angry?" Zhou Heng had already reacted and raised his eyebrows to intercept Chunying's words: "Where did you two hear about this? Are you sure about the news?"
Chunying was stunned by her question, and Miss Zhou looked at it... as if she was not angry, but looked concerned. It seemed like what Brother Bian said, she was not an ordinary woman, so she hurriedly asked the guard boss
I gave him a rough outline of the day's itinerary, and then I asked cautiously:
"Alternatively, girl, let Brother Bian go and inquire again tomorrow? Even if you may not be able to find out, it is not easy to get through the officialdom these days, so we should guard against this kind of information..."
Zhou Heng didn't speak at first and was silent for a while, then he raised his head firmly and said: "No need to ask!"
"Isn't it necessary?" Chunying looked carefully and found that her girl did not look sad or angry, but the prince's matter was so important, wasn't she worried?
"If the prince really left," Zhou Heng clarified his thoughts and felt that he was very sure of Shen Fu's whereabouts: "He must have gone to the northwest. Otherwise, where else could he go? He would never come to us.
bring it on?"
Chunying nodded, but said hesitantly:
"The reason why this servant and Brother Bian are still doubting whether this is true or not is mainly because they wonder why the queen is willing to let the prince leave, but the third princess actually doesn't stop him."
"Yes, this matter is indeed very strange," Zhou Heng nodded in agreement, but then he calmly said something that shocked Chunying:
"But on the other hand, why didn't the prince come up with a reason why they had to let him go?"
