Chapter 228: Becoming a Rebel Guard (29)
The night was deep and silent, and the candles in the study were extinguished.
But there was moonlight through the window, so that the light in the room was a little dim but could see.
Jiang Rao sneaked into the room and searched around.
Soon after she returned to the palace, she received a task arranged by Rong Ci, asking her to find the letters that Rong Yan and the Xie family exchanged privately.
After all, the emperor didn't like his courtiers to communicate with the prince, so although Rong Yan and the Xie family were in-laws, they could only minimize the correspondence on the surface and contact them privately.
But Rong Yan is not a stupid person, he will not leave a handle against him.
So this time she didn't come for the so-called letter, but wanted to take this opportunity to get Rong Yan's seal to prepare for the future.
Jiang Rao had seen Rong Yan use it before, but she really didn't know where it was hidden.
I don't know how long it took, but when she searched all over the study, there was no trace of the seal.
She frowned at the familiar furnishings around her, thought for a few seconds, and walked directly out of the study.
After all, there are still opportunities.
The night was dark.
Jiang Rao avoided the dark whistle and eyeliner along the way, and just as she was about to approach her courtyard, she heard a noise that was gradually approaching not far away.
It stands out in the deep silence.
"Catch the Assassin!"
"Don't let him run......
「……」
No, she obviously avoided how to be discovered!
I can't care about it so much at first!
Listening to the more and more obvious footsteps, Jiang Rao glanced around, and noticed that the corner of the wall was pitch black and there was a tree shadow covering it and it was not easy to notice.
She hurried over and prepared to hide.
But I don't want that there are already people.
The man took advantage of her unpreparedness and grabbed her with both hands and covered her mouth with the other, imprisoning her so that she could not move. But Jiang Rao didn't want to be controlled by others, and was about to struggle away when she heard the man's warning with coldness.
"Don't move."
His voice was slightly deep, and he didn't deliberately hide his urgency, so he was no stranger.
Leaning.
Jiang Rao was stunned for a few seconds and stopped struggling.
Seeing that she compromised, Rong Tian unloaded the force that imprisoned her, and then pushed her away, and the distance between the two that had been very close instantly widened.
Jiang Rao: "......"
No, what does he mean by that?
But hearing the voice of the searching guard, she quickly pressed against the wall, completely hiding herself in the darkness.
"Not here!"
"Go over there and see ......."
"He seems to have run over there, chase after him!"
「……」
After the guards left the area, Jiang Rao breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced to the side, but there was no movement, and if she hadn't heard the man's shallow breathing, she wouldn't have thought there was anyone next to her.
"So you caused it."
Jiang Rao took the initiative to speak, she did not deliberately change her voice, it was the same as her usual voice.
Although she couldn't see the man's reaction, she had no doubt that Rong Tian didn't recognize herself now.
Otherwise, she would have failed!
Jiang Rao's guess was right.
Under the darkness, Rong Tian's body instantly stiffened when he heard her familiar voice, he didn't expect such a coincidence.
I thought that escaping to the second prince's side could arouse suspicion and at the same time, I could see her again.
But at the moment, he was a little at a loss.
Perhaps the girl thought he was too silent, but Rong heard her voice come faintly, "Why don't you dare to speak, are you afraid that I will recognize you?"
Rong Tian's chest rose and fell almost imperceptibly, and he slowed down for a while before he spoke, "It's just a meeting in Pingshui."
He deliberately lowered his voice, which was exactly the same as his usual warm voice.
After a few seconds, he heard the girl's affirmative answer.
"I really haven't heard this voice."
Hearing this, he glanced at the person beside him with a slightly deep look, and his expression became more and more condensed.
What Rong Tian didn't know was that the curvature of the corners of the girl's mouth in the dark couldn't stop rising.
