The little girl hides her secrets

Chapter 112
That night, Yu An and Xiao Aqing's room was still glowing with faint candlelight.

Yun Yao came in quietly, and saw Xiao Aqing and Heidan hugging and sleeping together, while Yu An was still reading.

Yun Yao moved a small stool and sat quietly beside Yu An, watching him silently.

Yu An's eyes never left the book, nor did he turn the pages.

Yun Yao sat on a small bench, just high enough for her to put her arms on Yu An's lap. She lay down on her stomach and said, "Let's go for a walk."

Yu An seemed to be awakened from his emotions suddenly, he put the book aside, and said in response: "Okay."

Now is the time when the temperature difference between day and night is the largest. The ice and snow melt during the day and freeze into a thin ice surface at night. Yun Yao stepped on it, and there seemed to be bubbles rolling under the creaking and shattered ice surface.

All the lights were turned off in every household, and everything was silent outside, Yun Yao held Yu An's hand that was holding a cane and said, "Let's walk over."

Yu An understood Yun Yao's meaning, handed the crutch to Yun Yao, and walked forward slowly.

Yun Yao has been leading the way, she walked slowly to ensure that Yu An can keep up, but she was determined not to turn around to help him.

Her destination was not close to Yu An, and when she walked to the back, Yu An was already sweating profusely, and it seemed that she was about to be unable to hold on.

When Yun Yao heard the messy and exhausted breathing from behind, his eyes were red with distress, but he said, "Hold on a little longer."

"Yeah." Yu An answered in a muffled voice after wiping off his sweat.

Yun Yao finally brought Yu An to the bridge bank of the moat.

Since the death of the second prince, the security of the palace has become more stringent, and even the palace walls are surrounded by imperial guards.

This was the closest they could get to the palace.

Only then did Yun Yao return the crutch to Yu An, letting him stand up with support.

She took out a handful of paper money from her bosom, lit it with a torch, let it burn in her hand for a while, and then put it on the ground.

On the other side of the bridge are high palace walls and rows of guards.On the other side of the bridge, she was burning paper money for the murderer of the second prince.

Flames blazed in front of him, and a few pieces of broken paper money were blown up, passing Yu An with bright sparks, and slowly turning into ashes again.

Yu An had just undergone excessive rehabilitation, and his face was flushed unnaturally, but seeing this scene now, his eyes became hot again.

Yun Yao said softly: "Grandpa Bian must have seen that you don't use crutches."

She knelt down, her little face was illuminated brightly, and she stood up again when she watched the fire light gradually disappear and everything turned to ashes.

Although the imperial guards outside the palace wall felt strange, they would not drive Yun Yao away, while He Chuan not far inside the city wall sensed that someone was standing near the moat.

He rushed out in stride, saw the scene in front of him, and asked, "Why is Miss Yun Er burning paper money near the palace?"

He Chuan's aura was frightening, he was not angry, he was pretentious, probably because he was injured, his mouth and jaw would click when he opened his mouth, and he insisted on speaking.

Yu An didn't know when to turn sideways, Yun Yao slightly blocked him, and said mockingly: "No one stipulates that paper money cannot be burned here, so what if I burn it here today?"

He Chuan's face was horrifying, he glared at Yun Yao angrily, and said threateningly: "You are easy to be regarded as burning money for the murderer who killed His Highness the Second Highness."

What he said seemed to be admonishing Yun Yao, but his tone was full of threats.

Yun Yao could tell from his attire that he was He Chuan, the commander of the imperial guards, and he dared not say that he had nothing to do with Grandpa Bian's death, at least from now on, he was still very angry with Grandpa Bian.

Yun Yao's expression was indifferent, he raised his peerless little face, and said calmly: "Everything must be based on evidence. Instead of meddling in my business here, Mr. He, why not find out the identity of the murderer."

"It shouldn't take you so long, and you haven't found any signs of it yet."

As Yun Yao said, he looked mockingly at the big hole in the wall of the eye palace. It has been repaired for most of it now, but there are still people who are repairing it day and night.

He Chuan was so angry that his beard twitched and his fists were clenched. He could break the little girl's piece with one blow, but he couldn't move because of his identity.

He stepped on the ashes, twisted them vigorously, and left angrily.

Yun Yao didn't have time to stop her, she lowered her head slightly, and saw the black and yellow marks left by the burnt bridge.

This imprint should last a long time.

She turned her head, smiled and said to Yu An: "I'll carry you back."

"I can walk back." Yu An said looking at his sore left leg.

Yun Yao smiled without saying a word, walked up to Yu An and knelt down, as if he would not leave until he came up.

Yu An had no choice but to slowly lean over with a blushing face, lying on top of her.

In such a dark night, Yun Yao felt the weight on his back, inexplicably solid.

After a while, Yu An suddenly asked, "Isn't reading very useless?"

Yun Yao was stunned for a moment, feeling empathy with Yu An for no reason, only felt a soreness in his chest, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Yu An's mood.

He is feeling inferior and blaming himself, as if saying: "Am I very useless?"

She squeezed Yu An's leg hard, which made Yu An tremble, and said angrily: "You say that, what do those hard-working scholars think?"

Yu An knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he gently lay on Yun Yao's shoulder, knocking on the wooden fish in his head to add merit.

Yun Yao sighed slightly: "When your legs are completely healed, shall we go back? Ganyu Village."

"Do you want to go back?" Yu An turned his head slightly, brushing his hair against Yun Yao's face, itching her mouth crookedly.

"I don't want to," Yun Yao said, "This place has too many memories, and"

"And what?" Yu An encouraged her to continue.

Yun Yao smiled and said: "I shouldn't make decisions for you, but I think there are things in this place that you haven't solved. If you want to face it, if you don't, we can go back. It's good to be safe and sound."

Yun Yao knew that what she said was too overreaching, she just thought that if Yu An chose to face it, maybe she wouldn't feel inferior.

She didn't want Xianggong to have knots and regrets that could never be solved for a lifetime.

Yu An suddenly fell silent, his expression was tinged with despair, complicated, and sad. She looked at Yun Yao and fell into a deep self-struggle.

After a while, he said: "You swear, no matter what you know, you will not leave me."

Yun Yao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I swear."

"I'm serious," Yu An said unreasonably for the first time: "Even if the whole continent cannot accept my existence, you can't leave me."

"Okay," Yun Yao raised three fingers, his tone was so reassuring: "I swear, you will be the only one in my life."

Yu An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's stay."

Yun Yao nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "Re-say your last sentence."

Yu An was slightly confused: "I made you swear never to leave me."

"Okay," Yun Yao answered, "If you don't believe me, let's do that tonight, just that, you know."

Yun Yao raised his eyebrows as he spoke.

Yu An immediately turned dark, broke free from Yun Yao's back, and walked back quickly.

"Hey, slow down." Yun Yao hurriedly followed: "Your legs are not healed yet."
