"Prince, you mean?" she asked.

"If you didn't discover something, why would you think of staying here?" With a look as if he had seen through her, he said, "If you trust Ben Wang, maybe Ben Wang will still be your helper."

Although Jing Rong was not pleasing to Ji Yunshu, but she really needed a helper.

Thus, he said happily, "Since Your Highness has asked, of course this one would want it. I do have something that I would like Your Highness to help me with."

"Go ahead."

"I'm not busy. I'll wait until it gets dark." She raised her eyebrows, put on airs, sat down, and picked up the bowl and chopsticks. "Zhou Family is in the midst of conducting a funeral, yet they can still send large amounts of meat over. It can be seen that the Zhou Mansion's hospitality is indeed good."

Jing Rong turned his head and said lightly: "This King is not hungry."

Ji Yunshu leisurely stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and intentionally said: "That's true, the Zhou Family s food naturally cannot compare to the Prince's Mansion's delicious food. Even if Prince isn't used to it, it's only natural."

The moment he said that, Jing Rong became unhappy and his eyes sunk a little.

"This King has probably eaten more wild dishes in the mountains than Mr. Ji has eaten salt."

"Your highness knows how to joke."

He, a prince, had eaten wild vegetables in the mountains? Who would believe that?

Jing Rong looked at her seriously and said: "The Great Lin Empire has the southern borders, the northern lands, and from bottom to top, this king has been to a total of 108 places. There are deep mountains, small villages, and even deep ditches.

Ji Yunshu's hand that was holding the chopsticks paused as she looked at him with curiosity. "So your highness has been to so many places?"

"That's not the point."

"Then what's the point?"

Jing Rong glared at her: "The reason This King said all these is to tell you that This King is not picky with food!"

Sweaty face!

Ji Yunshu was so hungry that she didn't even want to eat anymore. As she carried the plate to Ji Yunshu, she started to eat with gusto.

He vaguely heard Jing Rong say: "Heartless. You can even eat."

That's right! Who would still be in the mood to eat less than two hours after looting the corpse?

It just so happened that Ji Yunshu was in the mood.

After eating her fill, Ji Yunshu rested for a while until the sky gradually darkened.

"Didn't Your Highness want to help? "Let's go."

With that, Ji Yunshu walked out of the room.

Jing Rong was puzzled, but he still followed her.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the pavilion where Miss Zhou's accident occurred. There were several red lanterns hanging in the corner of the building, causing the surroundings to be extremely bright and charming.

Ji Yunshu had always liked ancient lanterns. After staring at them for a while, she became lost in thought. Jing Rong touched her with his hand.

"Mr. Ji came to check on us?"

"Investigating the case."

She immediately looked away from the lantern.

Jing Rong seemed to see through her intention and said: "Did you suspect that there was someone in the pavilion when Miss Zhou fell down?"

"It seems that the prince is very smart."

"Of course."

Ji Yunshu ignored him and walked around the attic.

The pavilion was just a tall pavilion. It wasn't too big, and there were no partitions. All around it were red wooden fences and a few benches. If anyone was in the pavilion, it would be obvious.

Other than these, there was nothing else.

No matter how Ji Yunshu looked at it, she still couldn't see any place where people could hide.

As she was lost in her thoughts, she turned around and her forehead hit a firm chest.

Ji Yunshu subconsciously covered her forehead and frowned. But before she could say anything, she saw Jing Rong clutching his chest and grumbling.

"Why did you suddenly turn your head and not say a word? This King's chest is not a pillow. If I let you hit me like this, I'll definitely fall apart."

"Then why isn't the prince making any sound while standing on top of me?"

Jing Rong frowned: "If what you said is true, does it mean that I have to tell you wherever I go?"

"…"

Should I tell you when I turn around?

Ji Yunshu naturally didn't say this out loud, but the fire in her heart burned hotter and hotter. He was the prince, so whatever he said was reasonable. How could she, a mere painter, dare to retort?

Simply …

"It's all my fault!"

Ji Yunshu was too lazy to argue with him, so she avoided him and prepared to walk to the other side.

As soon as she walked behind Jing Rong, a pair of big hands wrapped around her waist and pulled with force. She turned around and directly threw herself into Jing Rong's embrace because her feet staggered and her body was unstable. When she fell back, she was held tightly by Jing Rong's hands that were around her waist.

He fell into his arms!

The two 'grown men' were hugging each other just like that!

The lantern swayed in the breeze. The trembling light dragged the long and short figures on the wooden board, which was especially long.

It was quite a beautiful scene!
