If she were just an ordinary woman, he wouldn't mind helping her.
But now that he knew her identity, he began to doubt her motives for approaching him.
"Your Highness, there was something unusual in the palace yesterday." The secret guard bowed and said again.
"What do you mean?"
"Originally, the palace also sent people out to search for the queen, but at first they didn't conduct a large-scale search. They just sent some people to roam the streets of Youcheng."
"But at midnight, the palace sent out another group of elite troops, still led by General Zhenwu, to conduct a large-scale search around Youcheng. Some of them even found themselves near your courtyard yesterday."
"But General Zhenwu knew you were here, so he didn't cross the line."
After hearing the secret guard's report, Rong Shaoxuan thought about what Jiang Ziyi had told him yesterday: her husband wanted to kill her for the woman he loved... That meant Rong Jingyuan wanted to kill her for another concubine...
Then why send someone to look for her?
Do I have to see her body to feel at ease?
Seeing Rong Shaoxuan's frown, the secret guard asked, "Your Highness, do you need to send the woman in your room back to the palace?"
"No rush, don't make this public yet. As always, if anyone crosses the line, they'll be killed."
"yes!"
Although he agreed verbally, the secret guard was scratching his head in his heart. He already knew the identity of this woman. She was not only a member of the Jiang family, but also the Queen. Why would His Highness keep such a person by his side?
Rong Shaoxuan did have his own considerations on this. He was not sure at the moment whether Jiang Ziyi knew that he was the former prince.
If she knew everything and still fell in front of her door, then her thoughts would definitely not be as simple as she said.
Rong Shaoxuan decided to go back and investigate in person. If she came to him to find out something, he would never show mercy to her.
When Rong Shaoxuan came back carrying water, as soon as he entered the yard, he found the woman waiting for him in the yard.
"Young Master Xuan."
What comes into view is still that smiling face.
However, it was difficult for Rong Shaoxuan to regard her as an ordinary woman.
"Now that you're awake, I'll make a fire and cook some food." Rong Shaoxuan carried the water and was about to walk towards the well.
Jiang Ziyi called out to him from behind, "No need, Master Shaoxuan, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Rong Shaoxuan put down the burden on his shoulders, turned around and looked at Jiang Ziyi quietly.
Rong Shaoxuan saw that the woman in front of him seemed to have made some difficult decision. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for taking me in for one night. I'm not from an ordinary family. If I stay here, I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble, so I'm going to leave."
Rong Shaoxuan didn't expect that Jiang Ziyi would choose to say goodbye to him at this time.
"Are you going back to the Jiang family?" Rong Shaoxuan asked.
When Jiang Ziyi heard him ask this, she knew that she had guessed right.
She reported her real name yesterday, and she knew that Rong Shaoxuan might already know her identity.
It seems that Rong Shaoxuan is not just confined to this small courtyard in private, but is well-informed.
Jiang Ziyi thought that if she continued to lurk around Rong Shaoxuan, he would definitely suspect that she had ulterior motives, so she proposed to leave at this time.
So when she heard that her identity had been discovered by Rong Shaoxuan, she just smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knows my identity."
When Rong Shaoxuan heard her call herself His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: Aren’t you very clear about my identity?
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziyi didn't get angry after hearing what he said. Instead, she said gently, "No matter what, thank you for rescuing me and taking me in yesterday."
"I'll take my leave today."
After saying that, she opened the door and left.
Rong Shaoxuan did not try to keep her. It was no accident that a member of the Jiang family, and the current queen, fell in front of his door. It was a blessing that he did not have anyone kill her.
Moreover, from the information he received, the Jiang family was still very powerful.
This time she left, she must be preparing to go back to the Jiang family to file a complaint.
He had been away from the palace for many years and no longer cared about anything in it. Although he had a will from the late emperor in his hand, he had no children, so his will would never see the light of day again...
Suddenly, he remembered that he had just given an order to the secret guards: anyone who crossed the line would be killed without mercy!
Thinking of Jiang Ziyi's pitiful appearance yesterday, Rong Shaoxuan thought for a long time and finally chased after her.
At this time, Jiang Ziyi had already walked some distance.
System: [Host, what are you doing here? Why are you heading into the mountains?! With this great opportunity, why don't you just use your props? Make him a lust-attracting talisman and make him completely bewildered! And then...]
[System, do you know what you look like now?] Jiang Ziyi asked.
System: [What?]
Jiang Ziyi: [You're like a nagging old woman.]
system:【......】
As soon as he finished speaking, a knife flew towards him.
Fortunately, Jiang Ziyi reacted quickly and dodged in time.
It nearly split her in half.
The system actually told her that if she didn't buy the self-defense skills, she would only suffer a minor loss?
If she hadn't bought it, she would have died by now!
When she stood still again, she found two more men in black in front of her.
Dressed in black, they looked very much like the two men she had left alive yesterday.
She sighed, "Stop pestering me, I really don't want to kill!"
