Fenyang Palace, in the Allure Palace.

After dinner at Mrs. Yide's side, Ruan Tingge returned to his dormitory.

At this time, she was leaning on the couch and holding a book in her hand, the room was brightly lit, the stove was melting, her complexion was as white as jade, her eyes were black and her hair was black, she was wearing a white bedclothes, and her casual dress and posture were still so good-looking, as if she had a burning brilliance.

Banxia opened the curtain and walked in to see this scene, even if she had been singing to Ruan Tiange every day, she was a little stunned, and suddenly thought of Wen Ziran who she saw during the day.

The county lord is really getting more and more beautiful, and his appearance at this moment seems to be somewhat similar to that of Wen Gongzi, Banxia thought.

Seeing Ruan Tingge raise his eyes to look at her, Banxia asked Ruan Tingge softly, "Does the county lord want to wash?" ”

Ruan Tingge nodded, put down the scroll in his hand, "Fetch me a dark dress." ”

If Lingyu was there, he would definitely ask Ruan Tingge why she had to bring a dark dress when she went to bed. But Banxia's temperament was quiet and introverted, and he responded without asking.

The night was like ink, and the layers of dark clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight, not revealing a trace of light, not even the glimmer of the stars, and tomorrow must be another rainy day.

If you look at the entire Fenyang Royal Mansion from a high place, there are some lights coming out of the black courtyard, and most of the people in the palace have fallen asleep.

Ruan Tingge, dressed in a dark dress, quietly climbed out of the western wall of the Allure Palace, her steps were gentle, barely making a sound.

It took a cup of tea for Ruan Tingge to walk to the inner wall of the palace, thinking that there was another outer wall, Ruan Tingge felt for the first time that the palace was too big was not a good thing.

The Fenyang royal palace has a double-layer wall, from the inside to the outside, the first layer is the inner city, and the close family members of the king of Fenyang live in the inner city.

However, there are very few direct relatives of the King of Fenyang, and there are not many close clansmen, and the other branches or collateral of the Ruan family all live in the Ruan family and do not live in the Fenyang Palace.

The area between the first and second walls of the palace is called the outer city, and most of the rough subordinates and guards live in the outer city, and at the same time, there are also academies, training grounds, stables and other places in the outer city.

Ruan Qingge glanced around, on tiptoe, jumped to the inner wall in a few steps, and as soon as she jumped onto the inner wall, she saw a team of guards carrying lanterns in the distance walking towards this side.

She jumped off the inner wall, staggered her steps, and quietly ducked behind a tree.

Leaning on the trunk of the tree and listening to the footsteps of the guards, Ruan Qingge suddenly had the feeling that someone was staring at her, she raised her head and looked around, but she didn't find anything unusual.

All she could see was the brown and yellow interior walls and tiles not far away, and the scattered trees on the side, their leaves swaying in the wind, as if human figures were moving.

The guards of the Fenyang palace were well-trained, and no one chatted during the patrol, but walked in a regular line, carefully inspecting the surroundings.

It wasn't until the patrolling guards had gone far away that Ruan Tingge turned out from behind the tree.

She estimated the time, and found that it was only about a quarter of an hour away, so she frowned, and quickened her pace towards the outer wall.

Approaching the outer wall, Ruan Tingge took a closer look, and couldn't help but show a hint of distress.

On weekdays, she didn't pay attention, this outer wall was about two feet higher than the inner wall, and it was thicker, I don't know if she could easily turn over it with her own light skills.

Ruan Tingge didn't have time to think about it, she estimated the height, then took a deep breath and jumped up, and she tapped the wall with her toes a few times before she just jumped on the outer wall.

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a slight wind sound came from her ears, Ruan Qingge was startled, and before she turned her head, she felt a sore knee on her right side, and she couldn't help but stumble and fall to the right back.

It's on a wall that's nearly a foot high, and if you fall... Ruan Tingge hurriedly tried to stabilize his balance, but his movements were hasty, but he involuntarily took a step back, and fell off the wall with his feet empty.

When he was about to fall to the ground, Ruan Tingge felt that his body was light, and suddenly something similar to a soft cloth was wrapped around his waist, and he lifted himself up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she turned around and landed on the ground safely.

Before she could breathe steadily, Ruan Tingge felt her waist loosen, she pursed her lips, and reached out to grab the thing wrapped around her waist.

She looked down and saw that the cloth wrapped around her waist was a long gray cloth of ordinary fabric, one end of which was now grasped by herself, and the other end extended into the night in front of her.

Ruan Qingge grabbed the hand of the long cloth and tried hard, trying to pull the person on the other end out, but she didn't think that the person over there let go of the long cloth, she couldn't help but take a step back due to inertia.

Ruan Qinge's face turned cold and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Out of the darkness came the figure of a person, dressed in a gray robe, with a cold and thin expression, his facial features were as distinct as a knife, and a pair of black eyes looked at Ruan Tiange quietly.

"Is that you?" Ruan Qinge looked stunned, and recognized that the person in front of him was Ruan Qiguang's personal bodyguard, Jiang Bai's brother Jiang Qing.

"Where is the county lord?" Jiang Qing's face was expressionless, and he asked in a cold voice.

Ruan Qingge didn't answer Jiang Qing's question, he looked at Jiang Qing with a pair of eyes, and his expression seemed to be smiling, "You just made a secret weapon?" ”

Jiang Qing let out an "um", and her gaze swept over Ruan Tingge's cheeks, which were slightly red from anger.

Ruan Qingge waited for Jiang Qing's explanation, but found that after he admitted it, his thin lips were tightly closed, as if he didn't plan to continue speaking.

Ruan Qinge frowned, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

She suppressed her anger and looked at Jiang Qing standing there like a benchmark, her expression was cold as if she had melted into the cold winter night, and she couldn't help but think of Jiang Bai's gentle and soft smile, and felt that the personalities of the two brothers were really very different.

Ruan Qingge guessed that Jiang Qing appeared to prevent her from leaving the mansion, but she was very unhappy with Jiang Qing's previous move of knocking herself off the outer wall with a hidden weapon, and when she saw that Jiang Qing didn't speak, she snorted slightly, pretending not to understand and deliberately asked, "What are Jiang Qing's guards doing with me?" ”

Jiang Qing opened his mouth and said, "The prince sent his subordinates to protect the county lord. ”

Ruan Tingge was a little annoyed when he heard this, knowing that his previous actions were likely to be seen by Jiang Qing.

Although the eldest brother said before that he would send Jiang Qing to protect her, she didn't expect that even if she had been staying in the palace this month, she was obviously safe, and the eldest brother would let Jiang Qing follow her.

Ruan Qinge didn't know why Jiang Qing waited until she jumped on the outer wall to stop her, if it weren't for Jiang Qing's expressionless face, she would have thought that Jiang Qing deliberately waited until the end to see her joke.
