The regent's little Jiaojiao is the group pet in the palace

Chapter 225 Basement (2)

Without thinking about it, the prince subconsciously took the flint he had prepared in advance and hit it.

As soon as the flame touched the wax oil, it immediately illuminated a small area around it. With this light, Su Qingyu and others immediately felt much more at ease.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up? With your speed, Brother Huaijin and the others will catch up in a while. I'll see how you surprise them!"

While talking, he walked in faster and faster, and lit the lamp in the tunnel conveniently. Just when the tunnel was about to come to an end, there was a sudden shouting sound from above.

Both Su Qingyu and Fu Shengrou were taken aback for a moment, and obediently stopped their progress.

"Why don't you go?"

The prince who walked forward for a certain distance saw that there was no one behind him, so he turned his head with some doubts. Hearing the prince's question, Su Qingyu and Fu Shengrou looked back at the prince again.

The six eyes met each other, which added a bit of eerie silence to the already narrow and terrifying basement, and the dim light shining on the face of the person would have a somewhat gloomy meaning, so...

"Ah - there is a ghost!"

"Where--someone bumped into me!"

"Don't squeeze me, don't squeeze me, help—"

The originally narrow tunnel was instantly filled with all kinds of screams for help, and the poor little Jiaojiao was pushed aside before she could react.

In fact, at the very beginning, Fu Shengrou was holding her hand and running together, but somehow she was knocked away by something suddenly, and she fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he squeezed into the wall and managed to stand still, otherwise he might just roll down!
Su Qingyu, who was a little scared, glanced down, seeing that there were at least dozens of steps, she swallowed silently.

If this goes down, I'm afraid that my life will be gone immediately!

Just when she was still in shock, suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out in front of her.

The hands are very slender and white, and it is pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

Without even thinking about it, she almost subconsciously put her hands on those hands.

"Huh~"

A chuckle came to mind in the narrow tunnel, and Su Qingyu subconsciously looked up, only to see Fu Huaijin's smiling eyes.

Before she could react, she fell into a warm embrace the next moment.

Fu Huaijin's unique domineering aura enveloped her crazily, Su Qingyu didn't have the slightest resistance, on the contrary, she narrowed her eyes comfortably.

She likes Fu Huaijin, so she likes everything about Fu Huaijin.

Not only limited to the smell on his body, but also everything about him, whether good or bad, she accepted it all.

When she slowly floated up from this gentle sea, she found that she had been carried out of the basement by him.

Looking at Gu Taifu and Dan'er who were full of worries around her, and then turned to look at the two crown princes and third princesses who were obviously scared but their faces were full of worry, Su Qingyu tried her best to pull out a smear. Smile, smile at them.

"Jiaojiao...are you okay, we...we didn't mean to..."

The person who spoke was the crown prince. When he saw them turn their heads back to look at him expressionlessly, he didn't know what he had done wrong. The fear in his heart was mobilized in an instant, and he ran towards the top. out.

And it was precisely because he ran away without any image that Fu Shengrou and Su Qingyu's tightly held hands were broken.

After all, Fu Shengrou was much older than them, so she stood still and ran outside, leaving Xiao Jiaojiao alone.

Fortunately, Fu Huaijin was running down when they were running up, so Jiaojiao was not left alone for a long time.

But even so, he still felt very embarrassed.

"I'm fine. Brother Prince doesn't need to act like this, but Jiaojiao is very curious. Did Brother Prince see something terrifying? Did he really see a ghost?"

Seeing the anticipation on Su Qingyu's face, the prince felt that he couldn't say a word.

How should he explain to Jiaojiao and the others that he mistook them for ghosts?
"Ah... that's not it, it's just..."

"What are you doing here so late?"

The person who spoke was Mrs. Gu, different from the previous indifference and alienation, this time when he said these words, his face was full of seriousness visible to the naked eye, it was enough to see that he was angry now.

As for the reason for being angry...

Everyone present did not guess.

"What do we have to do with you here, I..."

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I won't be able to save you when something really happens."

This time, Gu Chengyun no longer questioned him, but replaced it with a faint threat. Although the prince said he was a prince, he still had some fear of the prince in his bones.

"us……"

"Don't be so hippie, you better tell me what you have done and what you want to do, I am not kidding you!"

With Fu Huaijin's words, no matter how bold the crown prince was, he didn't dare to say a word. The atmosphere became solemn for a moment, and Fu Shengrou took the lead to stand up.

"I caused this incident. They were looking for a table for me. Because the Imperial College had undergone a major renovation not long ago, it is said that all the tables were moved to the basement. We just now..."

"Look for the basement where the sundries are stored, so why go to the basement where the test papers are kept?"

The tone was very serious, Gu Chengyun continued to ask questions.

Facing Gu Chengyun like this, Fu Shengrou froze in place for an instant, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He didn't know that the basement was for exam papers...

Almost subconsciously, Fu Shengrou looked in the direction of the prince.

The moment the eyes of the two people collided in the air, the faces of the prince and Fu Shengrou turned pale.

So, did they go wrong just now?

"I... I didn't know that the basement was where the test papers were kept... The crown prince said he knew... We didn't go in either, we ran out before reaching the last lamp post..."

Seeing Fu Shengrou who was in such a hurry to explain, Gu Chengyun felt helpless for a moment, he looked in Fu Huaijin's direction, the meaning of asking for help should not be too obvious.

Fu Huaijin, who was holding Su Qingyu, clearly felt the fear of the little guy in her arms.

Reassuringly, he patted her on the back lightly, as if saying don't be afraid, took a step forward, and opened his mouth in a serious tone.

"I can testify that when I went down to search for people just now, they hadn't reached the last lamp post, and there was still a long way to go below."

　good night~
