C61 Sudden Ambiguity

At dawn, they finally returned to the inn. The Qin Prefecture, which had led the army to encircle and annihilate the Black Tiger Stronghold, returned after they had used their breakfast.

Since the local county was going to hear the burglars case, they would have to stay here for a little longer to assist in the trial, until the case was over.

"Since that's the case, let's temporarily stay here in peace." After some time, the water in Jing Yi's body should be frozen, so he could take part in the Ice Statue Festival. This King remembers that the Princess especially loves those small ice sculptures outside her body, the Qin Province. Xiao Heng placed the empty teacup on the table.

"Yes." Qin Prefecture replied as he poured him a cup of hot tea.

However, in the next moment, Xiao Ya pushed open the door and barged in. "I don't want anyone else to choose. I want to choose for myself."

Xiao Heng could only smile helplessly, "Alright, you can choose then. But after that, you have to obediently follow royal uncle back to Enoch. "

"You are truly a busybody. After I left for so long, that person did not even send anyone to find me. Yet, you are afraid that I would slip away." Those who don't know, even think that you are my father. " Xiao Ya crossed her arms and leaned against the door, her cheeks bulging with anger.

Xiao Heng said with a smile, "If Imperial Uncle has a daughter as big as you who is disobedient, sooner or later he'll be angered to death. Xiao Ya, don't curse Imperial Uncle."

Xiao Ya pouted unhappily. "I'll return to Enoch after I return, but I came here specifically to find uncle Huang to borrow someone."

"Who?"

"Yin-jie." I want to go out on the street later and buy some things for girls. It's not comfortable to wear men's clothes all day. " Xiao Ya walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

Xiao Hengyi: "If you want to go shopping with Yin Yun, why don't you just go look for her? Why do you need to ask me?"

"Just now, I was going to bring big sister Yan out, but that subordinate of yours, Xiang Qiao, stopped me without saying a word." At this point, Xiao Ya cleared her throat, mimicking her tone as she continued, "Furthermore, it was said that 'Miss Yin is a guest invited by the prince. You are not allowed to leave the inn without the prince's permission'. Is your royal uncle treating your esteemed guest as a criminal guard? "

Xiao Hengtian: "I am indeed a bit too nervous. "Qin Prefecture, call Xiang Xiang over."

After the Qin Province left the room, Xiao Ya put down the teacup and sat beside Xiao Heng. Under her curiosity, she asked, "Actually, why did Imperial Uncle bring Big Sister Yin back to Enoch? Isn't big sister Yin from Yan nationality? "

Xiao Hong's hand trembled slightly as he held the teacup. "Who told you about Yin Yun?"

Xiao Ya was startled by the sudden sternness in Xiao Heng's tone. "… "When I was in Tiger Fury City, I saw Xiang Qiao sneaking into the medicine shop that elder sister Yan was staying at back then. After that, I also followed her in, so I heard some things …"

Perhaps it was because she had always lived in the palace and had always been at odds with her father, but the thoughts of this child were much heavier than those of other children her own age. But if not for this, she wouldn't have been able to survive being abducted by bandits and brought up the mountain unscathed. Thinking of this, Xiao Heng couldn't help but squint his eyes: "You didn't tell this to anyone else right?"

Xiao Ya felt a little scared when he stared at her, so she quickly shook her head.

Only then did Xiao Heng withdraw his gaze, "That's good then. Xiao Ya, it's inconvenient for Yin Yun to mention his previous identity."

"Xiao Ya knows, and would definitely not tell anyone else. However, why did Royal Uncle specially bring Sister Yin back to Enoch … Could Imperial Uncle Zhong Yiyan's elder sister? "

Xiao Heng was stunned. It was still too early to say whether he liked her or not, but it was true to admire her as a rare talent, and he did need her. Yes, the reason he brought Yin Yun back to Enoch was to accomplish that important matter.

"Why are children thinking so much?" Just as he finished speaking, the Qin Province walked in with Xiang Fu. He then said to Xiao Ya, "Alright, you can go and find Yin Yun now."

Xiao Ya nodded. After getting up, she quickly left without looking back. She directly ran to the room where Yin Yun was and pulled him out of the inn.

After Yin Yun was dragged into a few clothing stores, he was almost scared off by Xiao Ya's pickiness. If it wasn't for Xiao Ya tightly holding her hand, he reckoned that she would have already run back to the inn to hide.

In her entire life, she had never seen such a picky buyer. It was red in color, white in color, purple in colour, and pink in color … When she finally took a fancy to a blue-gray dress at a clothing store, she despised the style for being too ordinary.

If it weren't for the fact that this girl was her savior, younger than her, and was also Xiao Heng's niece, she might have already ran away after saying, "If you're so picky, why don't you make it yourself".

When Xiao Ya pulled her into the twelfth clothing store, she finally no longer had to accompany her to look at the almost identical clothes. Xiao Ya finally took a fancy to a pink and blue dress, changed it into a new one, and jumped out to ask Yun Shu how she was doing.

Yun Shu immediately nodded and said with a guilty conscience, "She looks pretty good." In fact, her aesthetic standards had already been tortured to the point of death by the dresses she had seen earlier. If someone were to randomly point at a dress for her to judge, she would probably say "beautiful".

However, Xiao Ya didn't seem to doubt her taste. After hearing what she said, she directly reached for her purse.

"Thank God." Yun Shu sincerely expressed her gratitude to heaven and earth. If she continued to stroll around the clothing store, she probably wouldn't want to buy any new clothes this year. Her so-called aesthetic fatigue was more or less like this.

However, when she saw the purse in Xiao Ya's hand, she suddenly froze. A moment later, she opened her mouth. "The hibiscus flowers embroidered on this purse …"

"Does it look familiar? This was given to me by elder sister in the first place. " Xiao Ya took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter. She then placed the crushed silver that the shop had found into the money pouch. After tying the money pouch, she jumped out of the clothing store.

After hearing her reminder, a person immediately flashed through Yun Shu's mind. As if she had just awoken from a dream, she couldn't help but smile and say, "So Princess is actually the child who helped me deliver the letter back then. I've said that when I saw her in the Black Tiger Stronghold, she looked a little familiar, no wonder. Speaking of which, at that time King Heng wanted to confirm the princess' identity, why didn't the princess pay attention to him instead? It can't be because I bought a few buns for the princess, right? "

Xiao Ya puffed up her cheeks. "I get angry just by looking at that face."

Yun Shu continued to ask, "Has Duke Heng done anything to offend the princess?" Perhaps he could get some information from Xiao Ya to help her survive in a foreign country.

However, Xiao Heng shook his head: "Actually, Imperial Uncle is also the one who was implicated. "Never mind, there are a lot of people in that shop over there. Big Sister Yan, let's go over to take a look and see if there's any pretty hairpins." With that, she pulled Yun Shu towards the silver building that was filled with noble ladies and ladies.

She followed the little princess for the whole morning. During that time, she also bought some things to visit the old doctor who had been abducted and brought up the mountain with her. However, in the morning, he had already been sent back to the infirmary by the Qin Prefecture.

However, there was one thing that she was unable to understand when she returned to the inn. When the old doctor with the surname Shi saw her, his eyes were filled with astonishment, as if he was looking through her. However, even after she had left with Xiao Ya, nothing strange happened.

Not long after he returned to the inn, the sky darkened and snow began to fall. When she was in the Shu County, she had indeed not seen this goose feather snow. She was pleasantly surprised as she watched from the window for a long time, unwilling to shift her gaze away.

When she couldn't help but reach out the window to catch a snowflake or two, someone suddenly pulled her hand back. "Your hand is so cold, yet you're still stretching it out. Do you want it to be frozen?" Although Xiao Hengtian blamed her verbally, his hands had lightly rubbed her hands a few times.

This was truly too ambiguous. Yun Shu subconsciously wanted to take her hand away, but the other person's hands tightened, and requested: "Give me the other hand as well."

"Ah?" "Actually not …" Yun Shu was about to say something tactfully. However, Xiao Heng had already reached out and grabbed her other hand, covering her two cold hands with his own. "You don't know how to take care of yourself. How did you manage to get through so much in the army camp?"

Just as he finished asking, Xiao Heng laughed self-deprecatingly: "This king is so muddleheaded, I forgot that at least Pei Hongqing will take care of you. Does he know you're a woman? "

Upon hearing his words, Yun Shu became even more confused. Xiao Hengkong had clearly said that she was not his dish, why did he now cover his hands and say such seemingly sour words for her?

Yun Shu shook her head, "Yin Yun and General Pei only have the relationship of a subordinate and superior, how would General Pei know that Yin Yun is a woman? Why did the Prince ask about this? "

When he raised his head, his eyes were no longer as gentle as they were before. Instead, they were a little fierce: "This king has just received a letter from Ochire, which came from Tiger Fury, reporting the progress of his negotiations with Pei Hongqing. Pei Hongqing actually agreed to return to the late emperor's personal letter. Does Miss want to know the condition that Pei Hongqing has put forward?"

Yun Shu was stunned for a moment before she chuckled, "The Prince has specially come to say these words to Yin Yun. This can't really be related to me, right?"

Xiao Heng nodded and laughed, "Lady has guessed correctly. Pei Hongqing's condition was for the lady to return alone. It seemed that the lady was very important to him. "But just now, you said that Pei Hongqing did not know that you are a girl. Could it be that the great general of Yan Nation is really as the rumors say?"

The look in Xiao Heng's eyes showed that he was about to interrogate her. Yun Shu forced a smile and said, "How would I know? If Your Highness were to ask about Pei Hongqing, I'm afraid that Yin Yun would not be able to tell you. I really do not understand him."

"Is that so? However, someone told me that Pei Hongqing had been to Lady Yun's hometown, Shu County, at the age of twelve. "

Lady Yun, Shu County …

Yun Shu's expression changed slightly, "I didn't think that Your Highness would specially investigate me."
