"What's that sound?"
Bo Yan, who was sitting behind the cabinet, paused for a moment, and an unprecedented sense of tension emerged in his heart.
He had never been so nervous even when he was on the battlefield killing the enemy.
Jiang Zhili looked at the wooden shelf next to the cabinet and stood up.
This wooden rack was about the same height as her and was used to hang clothes. The candlelight was dim, and sometimes when she glanced at it, she would think someone was standing there, which was really scary.
Just as Jiang Zhili was about to go over to take a look, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock knock——
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, are you asleep?" Qingci's voice came from outside the door.
Bo Yan, who was sitting behind the cabinet, had a dark expression on his face, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.
Why did Qingci come looking for him in the middle of the night?
How could his relationship with Qingci be so good?
Jiang Zhili looked down at the translucent bath towel on her body. She quickly walked to the bed, picked up the coat on the bed and put it on.
"Is there anything I can do for you? I've already gone to bed." Jiang Zhili asked Qingci at the door while buttoning his shirt.
Qingci reached out and started to push the door: "Xiao Li, open the door first."
He and Xiao Li had displeased the prince early this morning, and he was punished to go to the punishment hall to receive a beating. He came to see Xiao Li specially now.
He has a thick skin and is used to being punished. Xiao Li is thin and frail, and if he gets punished once, he might not be able to get out of bed for three days...
Jiang Zhili had no choice but to walk to the door, lift the bolt and pull the door open.
Qingci, who was outside the door, squeezed in directly.
Qingci looked Jiang Zhili up and down in the candlelight.
But as he looked at it, his face turned red.
How come Xiao Li's skin is so delicate and tender... Fortunately, the candlelight in the room is not very bright, so his red face is not very obvious.
Qingci didn't dare to look any further. He forced his head to turn around and focus his gaze on the shelf.
Jiang Zhili was puzzled: "Qingci, what do you want to do by coming to see me?"
Why did this person come in without saying what he wanted to do?
Qingci stared at the wooden frame, which was almost as tall as a man. He didn't dare look at Jiang Zhili again. "Ahem... The prince didn't give you any trouble this morning, did he?"
Jiang Zhili suddenly realized: "Nothing, the prince did not embarrass me."
Yuan Qingci came here specifically to care about her and was truly her good friend.
Qingci nodded randomly: "If there is nothing else, then I will leave first, you should rest early."
The temperature in this room seemed to be very high, so high that it made his face hot. The elegant aura of Xiao Li also made him feel at a loss...
"Hey! Wait a minute, Qingci, please help me move that shelf out," Jiang Zhili pointed to the shelf that was almost as tall as a person.
She always felt that this shelf was scary, so she asked Qingci to help her move it out so that she didn't have to do it herself.
Qingci looked at the shelf that was almost as tall as a person.
He said, "Okay."
After that, he walked over to the shelf.
This shelf is made of solid wood and is quite heavy. No wonder Xiao Li asked him to help take it out.
Qingci adjusted his position and prepared to reach out and lift the shelf.
At this moment, his eyes accidentally swept to the back of the cabinet...
In that dark corner, his prince stood there like an ice sculpture, his eyes sinister and cold.
That look was as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.
Qingci felt a chill all over his body, and he fell to his knees with a "thump", and then with a "bang", he knocked his head to the ground.
The prince's eyes made him see a mass grave.
As a conditioned reflex, he kowtowed directly...
Jiang Zhili, who had just sat back in his chair and was drying his hair, felt a little confused.
"Qingci, why are you kowtowing to the shelf?"
As soon as Jiang Zhili finished speaking, Qingci's body jumped up as if it was equipped with a spring.
Qingci didn't dare to look at where Bo Yan was. He picked up the wooden frame and ran out, as if there was a ghost chasing him...
He didn't know how the prince could become a thief.
He only knew that if he ran slower, he would have to sleep in the mass grave tonight!
Jiang Zhili stood up and followed him out, but he didn't even see Qingci's figure.
She shook her head, not knowing what was wrong with the other person.
It was pitch black outside, and Jiang Zhili turned around and went back into the house.
Just as she turned around, a dark shadow flashed by.
***
In the study, Bo Yan called the secret guard.
He ordered in a deep voice, "Add more personnel to the vicinity of the palace. Inform me immediately of any unusual movements. Send a message to the people of Western Yan, asking them to pay close attention to the prince and princess, and to keep a close eye on the movements at the border."
Nothing was found in Jiang Zhili's house, but that doesn't mean he is innocent.
He can only feel at ease if he checks all the doubts one by one...
This person is his medicine and must stay by his side!
Thinking of the elegant aura of that person, Bo Yan's heart was in turmoil. For some reason, the person's bulging chest and fair skin kept appearing in his mind.
Suffering from that disease must be painful...
This night.
The candlelight in the study next door stayed lit for a long time.
--------------------
The next day.
Jiang Zhili got up early and went to the study to work.
Bo Yan didn't go to court today, which made her feel relieved.
The current regent goes to court when he wants to, and doesn't go when he doesn't want to. How arrogant...
Jiang Zhili stood behind Bo Yan.
She looked at the dining table. She remembered that Bo Yan said he allowed her to dine at the same table.
Bo Yan said coldly: "Go sit at the table."
