Chapter 229 Becoming a rebel secret guard (29)

The night was deep and silent, and all the candles in the study were extinguished, making the room completely dark.

But there was moonlight shrouding through the window, so that although the light in the room was a little dim, I could see things.

Jiang Rao sneaked into the room and searched around.

Not long after she returned to the palace, she received a task assigned by Rong Ci, asking her to find the private correspondence between Rong Yan and the Xie family.

After all, the emperor did not like his ministers to interact with the prince, so even though Rong Yan and the Xie family were related by marriage, they could only try to reduce their official communication and communicate in private letters.

But Rong Yan is not a stupid person, and he will not leave any evidence against himself.

So this time she didn't come here 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 much time passed, but after she searched all over the study, there was no trace of the seal.

She frowned as she looked at the familiar furnishings around her, thought for a few seconds and then walked out of the study.

After all, there are still opportunities.

The night is dark.

Jiang Rao avoided hidden whistles and eyeliners along the way, and when he was about to approach his courtyard, he heard an approaching noise not far away.

It is particularly abrupt in the deep darkness and silence.

"Catch the assassin!"

"Don't let him run away..."

"..."

No, she obviously avoided being discovered!

I can’t take care of so much now!

Listening to the increasingly obvious footsteps, Jiang Rao glanced around and noticed that the corner of the wall was dark and obscured by tree shadows.

She hurried over and prepared to hide.

But I didn't expect there was someone there already.

The man took advantage of her unpreparedness, grabbed her hands with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, imprisoning her so that she could not move. But Jiang Rao did not want to be controlled by others, and just when she was about to struggle away, she heard the man's cold warning.

"Don't move."

His voice was low, and he didn't cover it up when he was in a hurry, so it wasn't unfamiliar to him.

Rong Qing.

Jiang Rao was stunned for a few seconds and stopped struggling.

Seeing her compromise, Rong Qing released the force that restrained her, and then pushed her away. The distance between the two of them, who were close to each other, suddenly widened.

Jiang Rao: "..."

No, what does he mean?

But when she heard the sounds of the searching guards, she quickly clung to the wall, completely hiding herself in the darkness.

"Not here!"

"Go over there and have a look..."

"He seems to have run over there, chase him quickly!"

"..."

After the guards left the area, Jiang Rao breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced to the side, but there was no movement. If she hadn't heard the man's shallow breathing, she wouldn't have thought there was anyone next to her.

"It turns out it was you who caused the problem."

Jiang Rao took the initiative to speak. She did not deliberately change her voice, which was exactly the same as her usual voice.

Although she couldn't see the man's reaction, she had no doubt that Rong Qing didn't recognize her now.

Otherwise she would have failed more!

Jiang Rao's guess was correct.

In the darkness, Rong Qing's body instantly stiffened when he heard her familiar voice. He did not expect such a coincidence.

I originally thought that while escaping to the second prince's side would arouse suspicion, I could also see her again.

But in this situation, he was a little at a loss for the moment.

Perhaps the girl thought he was too silent, so Rong Ting heard her voice coming faintly again, "Why don't you dare to speak? Is it because you are afraid that I will recognize you?"

Rong Qing's chest rose and fell almost imperceptibly, and he calmed down for a while before speaking, "It's just a chance encounter."

He deliberately lowered his voice, which was completely different from his usual gentle voice.

After a few seconds, he heard the girl's affirmative answer.

"I really haven't heard this sound before."

Hearing this, he glanced deeply at the person beside him, his expression becoming increasingly cold.

What Rong Qing didn't know was that the corners of the girl's mouth couldn't stop rising in the darkness.
