Shen Aojun said depressedly that the paper did not reveal any specific important information, so he had no choice but to put it aside.
"A Zhao?" Gu Yunru was afraid that Rong Zhen was still sulking. This is how straight men think.
"It's okay. I'll take someone out to look for it first."
"I'm going too!"
Gu Yunru was still willing to contribute, but when Rong Zhen turned around, the smile on Gu Yunru's face froze instantly, and the atmosphere fell to the bottom. Staring at his deep black pupils, Gu Yunru shuddered slightly. This expression clearly warned her not to step out of this threshold with her. Nangong Ruowei can be found by him alone! "Yunru, don't be too nervous. Ruowei has her own ideas. Maybe she wants to go out and see. It's not good to be locked up in the mansion all the time." Shen Aojun comforted her from the side, and Gu Yunru's mood, which had fallen to the bottom of the valley, was a little better.
Taking advantage of the Lantern Festival, Zhuge Jinyu did not rest and looked for Nangong Ruowei on the street, targeting ordinary people in ordinary clothes.
Nangong Ruowei touched her hungry stomach. She only brought a few taels of silver when she came out, but unfortunately she had used it up in the past two days. She had no choice but to buy some steamed buns to fill her stomach, but soon she was penniless. The owner of the bun shop looked at her with disdain, waved his hand and said, "Go away, go away, why buy buns if you have no money!" Then he drove her away.
She sat on the steps, feeling downcast and helpless. At this moment, a man holding a roast duck came over and handed the fragrant roast duck to her. Before she could even look up to see who it was, she couldn't wait to eat it and her mouth was covered with grease.
"Zhuge! Even though it's you, you actually knew I was here!"
"I don't know. I was just walking around casually. I knew you would buy some food, so I arranged some staff at the nearby bun shop." Zhuge Jinyu said, and sat down next to her. He saw that she looked haggard. She had been drifting outside for three days, and he didn't know what she felt.
"Come back with me, then you won't have to be sad anymore." Zhuge Jinyu extended her the most sincere invitation. After eating the roast duck, he patted his belly contentedly and didn't take his words to heart at all.
"I don't want to go back. I still want them to worry for a while. I don't believe that they won't worry at all after I leave!" As soon as she finished saying this, Nangong Ruowei was slapped in the face. On another street, Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru were intimately holding each other's arms and releasing lotus lanterns by the lake. After releasing them, they whispered in each other's ears a few times. This action made Nangong Ruowei even angrier.
"Hey! Ruo Wei!" Seeing her turn around and leave in a rage, Zhuge Jinyu quickly followed her, fearing that she would disappear in front of him, which would make him even more upset.
"Ruowei, don't go so fast. I know you are unhappy, but Rong Zhen doesn't have you in his heart at all. You should accept this reality as soon as possible..." Zhuge Jinyu stood in front of her. He had been wandering outside for the past few days and he also felt the hardships of life. Why was he still so stubborn?
"I don't need you to take care of me, just go away!"
"How can I just ignore you? You have no other relatives in this world. I also know that you don't consider me as your relative, but in my heart you are my relative." Zhuge Jinyu confessed his true feelings to her, hoping that Nangong Ruowei could accept his sincere heart.
"I don't want to hear you say those words anymore..." Nangong Ruowei closed her eyes and turned away, leaving him with only a blurry figure, gradually walking away.
On the other side, Gu Yunru had been waiting for Shu'er and Shen Aojun to come together. She only saw them then and said to Rong Zhen, "I'll go say hello to them first. You continue here."
"Yeah." After Rong Zhen saw Gu Yunru walking away, he vaguely saw Nangong Ruowei's figure in the crowd. The petite figure was very similar to Ruowei. He frowned, not knowing whether he was dazzled or not, but chased after her out of curiosity.
Nangong Ruowei came to the gate of the palace hesitantly. Today was the Lantern Festival, and the prince and princess must be having a great time on the street. She was a person with little presence, so it might be a wise move for her to go back to the foreign country with Zhuge.
"You're back, why don't you go in?" Rong Zhen appeared behind Nangong Ruowei. Nangong Ruowei obviously didn't realize his arrival. She turned around quickly, her face flushed, not wanting him to see her embarrassment.
"You don't have to run away anymore. I've already seen you." Rong Zhen strode forward, and at this moment he saw a black shadow jumping into the mansion. It jumped in from the corner of the wall, and there were some slight sounds. The two of them reacted quickly and quietly walked into the mansion.
"A Zhao... could it be that the assassin who appeared that day has come out again?" Nangong Ruowei was panicking. She didn't expect that he would not give up at this moment. Was he determined to find something in the palace before leaving? "Don't talk for now. Go to the backyard and don't come out. Do you understand?" Rong Zhen knew that the assassin had bad intentions and Ruowei might be in danger.
"No, I want to follow you." Nangong Ruowei looked at him firmly. No matter where she went, she would never leave his sight.
"..." Rong Zhen was helpless. Knowing that she was a very stubborn person, he had to allow her to follow him.
The man in black ran to the study, holding a candle, and was rummaging through the drawers and cabinets. Rong Zhen wondered what important items were placed in the study. Apart from some military tokens and imperial seals, there didn't seem to be any other important items. Could it be that he came for the military tokens?

"A Zhao, do you know what that guy was doing sneaking into the study?"
Nangong Ruowei looked at him in fear. It was indeed a wise move to take advantage of the lively Lantern Festival to steal things. The security in the mansion was much looser than before, so this guy had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Don't come over yet. I'll go in and meet him." Rong Zhen came to the door quietly and opened it with a palm, catching the man in black inside off guard. After getting the things, the man in black wanted to escape through the window, but the window in the study was just a fake window. The real window was designed by Gu Yunru in another corner, and there was a very hard patch on the door of that window.
The man in black had nowhere to escape, so he had to confront him head-on. Rong Zhen tested his martial arts step by step and found that his moves were extremely strange, something he had never seen before. It was neither like the kung fu of the people from the border areas nor the kung fu of the people from the Central Plains.
