Behind him, Xie Jingrun noticed her suddenly stiffen and realized she was awake. He felt a little uneasy, as he had thought she was asleep and wouldn't wake up.
As he was considering how to explain to her that he had sneaked into her room in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard her teeth chattering.
He was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but find it funny.
This girl seems to be very afraid of ghosts.
He smiled and leaned closer. "It's me."
Rong Qingqing recognized his voice and immediately felt a sense of exhaustion. Her teeth finally stopped chattering, but she turned her head and glared at him with displeasure. "What are you doing in my room?" In the middle of the night, his body was so cold that she thought he was a ghost.
"I'll come in and see if you're experiencing sleep paralysis," Xie Jingrun said jokingly.
Sensing the mockery in his words, Rong Qingqing immediately felt embarrassed and annoyed. "Who cares what you say? Get out of here!"
Because of the injury on her back, she couldn't move around much, so she could only turn her head when she spoke to him.
Seeing her comical appearance, Xie Jingrun's eyes lit up with a smile. "I'm a little tired. I'll rest for a while and then I'll leave."
Rong Qingqing frowned. "If I remember correctly, your room is right across the street. Please go back to your own room and rest."
Seeing that she was angry, Xie Jingrun knew that it wasn't good for the two of them to lie in the same bed like this, so he said in a rare good mood, "Okay, I'll leave now."
However, he had only gotten halfway up when the gate to the courtyard was pushed open forcefully, and someone barged in.
Suddenly, flames blazed brightly outside.
Rong Qingqing was taken aback. "What happened?"
Xie Jingrun quickly covered her mouth, "Don't make a sound."
Rong Qingqing was surprised when he covered her mouth and stared at him with wide eyes.
Xie Jingrun released her hand, gestured for her to be quiet, then got up, moved her off the bed, and lay down on the inside, pulling the blanket over both of them.
The entire movement was completed in one smooth motion.
Rong Qingqing was dumbfounded. Only then did she notice the night clothes he was wearing. Combined with the chaos outside, she vaguely understood what was going on.
Could this scoundrel be planning to assassinate Situ Jin?
They're really bold!
Thinking of this, she suddenly became a little nervous and quickly lay down on her side to try to block him out.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and the firelight shone in, followed by the sound of footsteps.
Rong Qingqing frowned and said in a deliberately angry tone, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, what happened?"
Xiao Tao answered from outside the door: "Miss, I heard that an assassin broke into the inner garden, and the Third Prince has brought people to search the courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing was shocked. "What? There's an assassin? We'd better search carefully and make sure the assassin doesn't get in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Mo walked in. "Miss Rong, please forgive me!"
"It's alright, it's alright. You're just thinking about our safety." Rong Qingqing said somewhat fearfully, "It's kind of scary. Please search carefully. What if an assassin is hiding here? Wouldn't I be in danger?"
Hearing the girl's frightened voice, Feng Mo's expression softened, and he asked, "Are your injuries much better?"
"Thank you for your concern, Third Prince. I am feeling better now," Rong Qingqing said politely.
Upon hearing this, Feng Mo gripped his sword tighter.
She's not good at all.
He had heard from Feng Xin that she had been poisoned by the Seven Star Begonia and needed a rare medicinal ingredient as an antidote.
He stopped and stood in the middle of the room, remaining silent for a moment.
Rong Qingqing was experiencing both extremes of emotions.
