C37 The Crown Prince's Confession

Yun Zihao sat beside the table in the room. His face was cold as he stared blankly at something. 'In such a short period of time, where did she hide her child? After interrogating her shadow guard for an entire night, they had beaten her to the point where she didn't even have a breath left. She was clearly a woman without any martial arts skills, but she had some tricks up her sleeve that could make her disappear in an instant.

Jing Xiaotong walked over and stood beside him like a child who had done something wrong. She didn't know what to do.

She understood that he was worried about her brother but couldn't see her, but if she let Yun Ziyi go just like that, would she be treated as a monster by him?

Yun Zihao reached out his hand and took Jing Xiaotong's hand, gesturing for her to sit down.

Jing Xiaotong then sat down beside him, her hand wrapped around his big palm. Her heart felt warm, and for a moment, she wanted to reveal all of her emotions.

"What can't you tell your husband? Why must you be so stubborn? " Yun Zihao looked into Jing Xiaotong's eyes and said softly.

Facing Yun Zihao's mesmerizing eyes, her heartbeat quickened. She couldn't resist it anymore. She opened her eyes a little and said, "I told you, I'm afraid you can't accept it."

"I can accept it or not. Didn't I already accept you?"

Was this considered a confession? Jing Xiaotong's heart skipped a few beats. This was the first time she heard Icemountain speak to her in such a gentle manner.

She turned her head to look into his eyes and said, "That … "Then I'll say it first. I'll return Yun Ziyi to you, you can't kill me." After saying so, she didn't dare look into his eyes anymore. If she continued to look, she would fall into the abyss and completely fall.

"Mm, I can guarantee that you won't have any worries." Yun Zihao looked at her cute expression, twitched his mouth and nodded.

Jing Xiaotong then stood up and walked towards the bed, she pressed the Cosmic Bag with her left hand and waved her right hand towards the bed, causing Yun Ziyi to lie down flat on the bed. After a closer look, she became embarrassed, she couldn't help but curse in her heart, "stupid rabbit of Shuangzhi," she actually did not put any clothes on Yun Ziyi.

She didn't care whether Yun Zihao was surprised or not. She turned around and looked at him as she explained with excitement, "I didn't take off his clothes."

"Oh? There are others? "

Yun Zihao heard the meaning behind her words that there was someone else present, so he casually asked, covering Yun Ziyi with a quilt and touching his pulse.

To Jing Xiaotong, what Yun Zihao said was a rhetorical question. She quickly explained in a wronged manner, "I really didn't take it off."

Yun Zihao guessed that she misunderstood him. Then, he turned around, looked at Jing Xiaotong and said, "Yes."

"How's his pulse?"

"It's very minute, almost undetectable. You said he was hit by a crossbow, but why is there no wound on his body?"

"The injuries on his body have been healed, but …" Jing Xiaotong stammered with a troubled expression on her face.

"But what?"

"His soul has been lost." Jing Xiaotong said carefully, her eyes staring fixedly at the change in Yun Zihao's expression.

"Lost your soul?" Is there such a thing? " Yun Zihao obviously didn't believe it.

"Yes, my guards have gone out to look for them."

If Yun Zihao didn't see that she was serious and said that, he would really suspect if she was stupid and someone could find her soul. He looked at Jing Xiaotong doubtfully.

"What I said was true. Why are you looking at me like that? In such a short period of time, didn't you see that even the arrow wounds on his chest had healed? What's impossible?"

"That's right, even people who have undergone great transformations were able to do so, what is impossible about that?"

"Uh, heh." Jing Xiaotong smiled embarrassedly and continued, "I'm not a living person. I just have a magical bag that can be used to store a lot of things, or it can be used to store a person's belongings.

When Jing Xiaotong saw Yun Zihao's gaze sizing her up, she quickly pointed at her waist and said, "The bag is here. No one else can see it, much less open it."

"…" Yun Zihao looked at her waist without saying anything. His gaze stopped at the Southern Jade Pendant.

"You don't believe me? How about I put you in it and take a look? " Jing Xiaotong said.

"No need." Yun Zihao turned around and looked at Yun Ziyi, who was on the bed, and asked, "How do I find his soul?"

"I don't know either. My guards have gone out to look for him. He will look for them. We'll wait and see."

Yun Zihao was puzzled again. What other guards did he not know? Even the dark guards were caught by him? Could it be that the guard she mentioned was her shadow guard? If it was, then it would be terrible.

"The guard you're talking about is that shadow guard called Mo Yan?"

"No, you haven't. You usually stay in my black bag."

"Oh, I see." Yun Zihao felt slightly more relieved.

"Alright, you don't have to worry too much. He should be able to find it." Jing Xiaotong comforted him, as well as herself.

"…" Yun Zihao looked at Yun Ziyi and did not answer.

The two of them stayed by the bed until late at night, when Shuangzhi came in from the outside. Yun Zihao immediately looked at the man with a pair of crimson eyes, it was impossible to tell the difference between males and females.

The Shuangzhi looked at him, then moved its eyes and walked towards Jing Xiaotong happily and said: "Found it." As he spoke, he shook the sacklike bag in his hand.

"Great, Yun Ziyi is saved." Jing Xiaotong excitedly exclaimed to Yun Zihao.

"Xiaotong, you guys go out first. You'll scare him off if you stay here." The Shuangzhi said.

"Alright." After saying that, Jing Xiaotong followed Yun Zihao out of the room.

Jing Xiaotong sat on the ground and held her head with her hands as she looked at the moon in the sky. Yun Ziyi was saved, so she was in a good mood.

Yun Zihao looked at the moonlight shining on her smooth face and was in deep thought. Was she really as simple as Princess Dunhuang Country? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that she was mysterious.

Feeling a gaze on her, Jing Xiaotong turned her head to look at him. Their eyes met, and she said awkwardly, "Have you never seen a beauty before?"

"We... Have you seen it before? " Yun Zihao asked hesitantly.

"I have." Jing Xiaotong thought for a moment before nodding and replying.

"Oh? When? "Where is it?" Yun Zihao asked hurriedly. He had felt that he had seen her somewhere before, so his intuition was right.

"Do you want to know? If you want to know, then be good to me. " With that, Jing Xiaotong turned her head away and stopped replying with a sly smile.

"…" Yun Zihao thoughtfully looked away from her face.

The door opened with a creak.

Jing Xiaotong quickly turned her head to see the Shuangzhi coming out from inside, her face filled with joy.

"How is Ziyi?" Jing Xiaotong asked as she bounced up from the ground.

"Okay, but his soul has left his body for too long and has just returned to his body. He needs to rest more."

Just as the Shuangzhi finished speaking, Jing Xiaotong dashed into the house. Yun Zihao was relatively more calm and followed after her.
