Nine-year-old Little Demon Empress

As night fell, there was a cool breeze.Countless stars blinked and looked at the bright moon enviously.The moonlight is soft and shines on the earth.

With the door open, a white curtain hangs down to the ground.The candlelight on the sandalwood desk was dim, and the man's handsome face became softer and softer. His white clothes were more snowy than snow, and his long black hair hung down his shoulders, as if he was exiled.His bony fingers are attached to the book, with a focused expression.

The wind blows gently, and the candlelight is bright and dark.The man frowned, put down his book and covered the candlelight with a lantern.

knock --

There was a knock on the door, and the man stopped.Faintly called out:

"what's up?"

"My lord, the guard who went out to find out the news is back." The voice of the reply was a little hoarse, and it was the old butler of the Prince Zhou's mansion who was in his [-]s.

"Let him in." The man, Day King leaned back on the chair, thoughtful.

"Yes." The butler replied, and then came the sound of steady footsteps.

With a creak, the door of the study was opened.The moonlight slanted in from the outside, and sprinkled silvery white all over the ground.

"My subordinates will meet the prince." A man in a blue shirt with narrow sleeves and a black belt around his waist walked in.His facial features are ordinary, almost the type that can't be found in the crowd.One foot in front of the desk, he respectfully knelt down to salute Xuanyuan Zhou.

"Get up." Xuanyuan Zhou said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, what did you find?"

The guards were moved by Xuanyuan Zhou's gentle words, although King Zhou is extremely inferior to one person, he is above ten thousand people.However, he has a gentle nature and never treats his subordinates with arrogance, nor will he scold them casually, making them feel respected.So no matter how hard and tired they are, they are willing to follow him.

"Your Majesty is concerned." The guards became more respectful, "It is fortunate that my subordinates did not disgrace their orders. After many days of secret investigations, they found out that the suspicious people who appeared a while ago were spies sent by the Liao Kingdom that night. They intended to infiltrate our country and steal important military arrangements. picture."

"Sure enough." Xuanyuan Zhou frowned slightly, it seems that the marriage proposal proposed by Ye Liao Kingdom this time may also have internal reasons.Could it be that he wants to cooperate with the secret agent who has sneaked into my dynasty, and wants to engulf me Tianyao?

The wind is blowing, and the white curtains are swaying.

Xuanyuan Zhou was meditating, his clear eyes were shining with wisdom.Now that we have detected their sneaky tricks, we might as well keep our composure and watch the changes, so as not to overwhelm others.When they think they can succeed, another trick will give them a wrong blueprint.

"Continue to monitor them first, and don't startle them." He told the guards, "But their every move must be reported to the king."

"Yes." The guard replied.

"You go down first." Xuanyuan Zhou waved his hand, it was like this beforehand.

"My lord—"

The guard didn't leave, his ordinary face hesitated.He opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Xuanyuan Zhou gave the guard a strange look, such a hesitant look was really curious.

"Your subordinate has something to tell you or not?"

"But it's okay." Xuanyuan Zhou smiled and encouraged.

"This time, my subordinates were investigating the spies of the Ye Liao Kingdom, but they accidentally discovered that a group of mysterious figures appeared in Yaocheng. The day after they appeared, it was reported that several women were missing. A big thief is an outlaw.” After the incident, the local government also invested manpower to investigate the case, but it came to nothing.

"Oh, is there such a thing?!" Xuanyuan Zhoujun frowned, there were such crazy lawbreakers under the feet of the emperor. "Has the government ever found out the murderer in this case?"

"Shang." The guard pursed his lips, thinking of those couples who lost their daughters, he couldn't help but hate that group of people.

"Do you want me to send someone to help solve the case?" It seems that some moths should be pulled out, otherwise, internal troubles will arise.And whether he is a citizen of Tianyao or the younger brother of the emperor, he should do his best.

"My subordinates are worried that those people will continue to commit crimes, and I'm afraid that there will be panic among people." The guard nodded, deeply aware of some officials who only know how to eat the flesh and blood of the people, but can't do things for them.

"Yeah. I know." Xuanyuan Zhou said with a serious expression, "You immediately pass on my password and lead someone to the government office to take over the case."

"Yes, this subordinate will go now." The guard raised his mouth slightly, bowed to Xuanyuan Zhou, and left.

Most of the candles on the desk were burned, and Xuanyuan Zhou leaned back in the chair a little tired.His bony fingers rubbed his forehead, the cool night wind lifted a few strands of hair, and the shadows on the wall were vivid.

Hearing the humming of unknown insects in the flower bed outside, he felt peaceful instead.The moment he narrowed his eyes slightly, that cold and stubborn little face flashed across his mind.The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he couldn't help smiling.That girl is carved with jade, no matter how you look at it, she is a small one.But her expression is colder than that of adults, and the combination of contradictions is strangely fused.

Thinking of what the guard said just now that many women were missing, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.Although the general's mansion is heavily guarded, the girl herself does not seem to be a weak one.But my heart was beating for no reason, and I was extremely worried.There is a contingency in everything, what if she really meets those thieves?

The more I think about it, the more I can't calm down, and the calmness of the past seems to be thrown aside.He stood up and strode out of the study, opened the door and shouted:

"Come here, prepare a sedan chair for this king."

General House

Sitting in the main seat coldly, watching the butler bring in the King of Day.The night wind was blowing gently, stirring his hair.White clothes are better than snow, tall and tall.The facial features are handsome and the temperament is gentle.As he walked, the hem of his clothes fluttered.It seemed that when he saw Xuanyuan Zhou, he always looked like a banished immortal.

When Xuanyuan Zhou stepped into the General's Mansion, he saw An Hao sitting in front of him coldly.He was suddenly startled by his impulsiveness, and an inexplicable light flashed across his clear eyes.The corners of his mouth unnaturally parted, revealing a self-deprecating wry smile.I didn't expect that he who always thought he was calm would be so impulsive, but after seeing this little girl, his heart was much more at ease.

"My lord, please sit down." Leng Wanwan gracefully stretched out her small hand as a gesture of invitation, with a calm and noble attitude.

"Thank you third miss." Xuanyuan Zhou cupped his hands coldly and smiled. "If you take the liberty to disturb me, I hope Third Miss will not be surprised."

"Where." Facing Xuanyuan Zhou's shallow smile, Leng Wanwan seemed unable to put on a bad face. "I don't know why the prince came here?" The ancients spoke politely, which is really troublesome.Talk about something, don't be wordy.Although I said I was interested in you last time, it was just a whim.

"It's like this." Seeing that Leng Wanwan seemed to have forgotten about the Lantern Festival, Xuanyuan Zhou was inexplicably disappointed.He collected his mind and said seriously. "Recently, a group of mysterious thieves appeared in Yaocheng, and many women have disappeared. The government sent people to arrest them, but there was no result."

No wonder there are results.

Leng Wanwan doesn't have the slightest affection for those government officials who only know how to scrape off the fat and fat of the people, and who are quicker than anyone else in the face of danger.If they can solve the case, the sun will really come out from the west.

"So?" She looked at him coldly. Could it be that this is why he came here late at night? !

"General Leng's meritorious service is in my court, and now he is at the border. There are only two young ladies in charge of the general's mansion. This king is worried, so I came here to see. I hope that the third lady and the eldest lady will pay attention to safety."

Listening to his words coldly, the corners of his mouth curled up into a playful smile.The black jewel-like eyes stared at this exile-like man without blinking. The worry in his eyes was so obvious that it made people feel warm.But it is strange that a prince who is above one person and under ten thousand people is so worried about her.She would not narcissistically think that the prince fell in love with her, after all, this body was just a nine-year-old girl, not a beautiful woman.Unless he's a pedophile, but looking left and right he can't get enough of that.

Xuanyuan Zhou was flustered by the cold expression, it seemed that he was naked in front of her, and all his thoughts were hidden.She turned her head in embarrassment, her hair was fluttering, and her eyes were flustered.

The room was very quiet, and he smiled coldly.Eyes fixed on Xuanyuan Zhou's profile, another figure flashed in his mind.Why didn't you find it?The cold expression began to soften, and Xuanyuan Zhou's profile was so similar to him.The person who is unattainable in front of outsiders is always cautious when facing himself, like treating the most precious treasure.Outsiders say he is cruel and cruel.But only I know how bitter and lonely that person is.When she was five years old, her gentle mother died of illness.That person became more and more indifferent, smiling clearly.But she always felt that he was crying in his heart, and from then on all his care and love were reserved for herself.Let her take whatever she wants, let her run amok like a law, and he just stands behind her with a smile.

Cold liquid suddenly seeped from the corners of his eyes, and some thoughts began to ferment.How is he?After traveling to a different time and space, is he even more lonely?For the first time in my life, I regretted that if I had known earlier, I would have left.Would she not be so trusting, and would not always refuse to call him 'Dad. '

Xuanyuan Zhou seemed to sense something strange about her, and quickly turned his head to look at her.But she saw light shining in the corner of her eyes. Is she crying?

"You—" You were surprised and distressed.

"Thank you, my lord. It's late at night, should my lord leave?" Leng Wanwan's little hand roughly touched his eyes, and when he raised them again, he had a completely calm expression.It seemed that Xuanyuan Zhou's eyes were dazzled just now, she didn't shed tears at all.

"The king has bid farewell." Xuanyuan Zhou felt that the wall of coldness in his heart stood up again, but he had no choice but to get up and leave.He thought he needed to think about what he was?

This night is unusual.
