Ning Shu said apologetically, "You can sleep for a while more. There are so many guards here. I'll be fine. I'll come out after asking a few questions."
Hui Mo rubbed his eyes and patted his chest, "Let a weak woman like you investigate the case alone? Young Miss Ning, you're looking down on me too much. When we fought with Shizi, we didn't sleep for three days and three nights in order to prevent the enemy's sneak attack. We still beat the hell out of the War Hounds. How long has it been? My stamina is very strong. "
Ning Shu was about to be moved to tears, but she couldn't stop her mouth from twitching, "Uh … Who taught you to say that?"
Hui Mo blinked his big innocent eyes, "She Yan. He told me that if I say these words in front of the girls, they will definitely look at me with admiration."
Ning Shu patted his shoulder sympathetically and sincerely suggested, "Well, it's different. The girls will be happy to give you a pair with their fists. Silly boy, some brothers don't need. Well, if you're not sleepy, come in with me. Take the token. "
Hui Mo followed behind in confusion and asked, "What do you mean? Did I say something wrong? Tell me clearly, I really don't understand! "
Because of the sudden appearance of the Demon Empress' Stone Tablet and the Blood Lotus Book, the mausoleum was heavily guarded. They couldn't enter even if they took out the token of the Nanping Mansion. Until someone came with Empress Cao's order, they were let in. And this timely help was none other than Xiao Yunyi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Xiao Yunyi waved his hand at the guards expressionlessly and ordered them to leave. When he turned back to look at Ning Shu, his eyes were full of warmth, just like when he was young. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were shining. He lowered his head, his eyes filled with a longing that had been suppressed to the extreme. "Shu 'er, long time no see."
Ning Shu thought that they had already made things clear, both sides shaking hands and making peace, but in the face of such a sincere gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she still had to hide the fact that she had recovered her memory, so she pretended to be at a loss and blinked her eyes, respectfully bowing her head and saying, "Does this subject know Your Highness? Please forgive me, Your Highness. This subject's daughter contracted a serious illness a few days ago and has yet to remember many things. However, I still have to thank Your Highness for taking the trouble to bring me a handwritten order and helping me investigate the case. "
The mist in Xiao Yunyi's eyes fluttered as he kept away those heavy and suppressed emotions. When he smiled again, he was back to normal. "That's right, you're sick. There have been many things happening in the palace recently and I forgot about it. How has your body recovered? It's been hard on you to let you work on the case as soon as you returned to the capital. "
Ning Shu thought that he would leave after sending the handwritten order, but she didn't expect him to lift his robe and enter the mausoleum with her. She immediately felt a headache and could only continue to walk forward. "Thank you for Your Highness' understanding. It's my duty to be able to work for the Empress. This subject's daughter is flattered by Your Highness' kindness."
This unfamiliar tone made Xiao Yunyi laugh. "You wouldn't talk to me like this in the past. I remember that the last time I didn't see you for so long was when I was 18 years old and took Father's task to Hailong Province for the first time. Because the task was urgent, he immediately urged me to get on the horse after leaving the court and didn't even have time to tell you in advance. I was afraid that you would be angry with me, so I slept at most four hours a day on the day of the task. I wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and return to the capital to apologize to you, but I didn't expect that it was still too late when I rushed back. You were so angry that you kicked me as soon as we met and then didn't give me a good face for half a month. You were completely unlike now, respectful, polite, and distant like there was a thick layer of paper between us. It seems like you've really forgotten about me completely. "
