Chapter 18

Gu Ruoyao stood before the case for a moment.

After that, he picked up a book as if nothing had happened and put it on the shelf.

Seeing Gu Ruoyao move, Chu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could relax for a moment, he realized that the footsteps were getting closer.

One of his hearts rose again.

Will not be found out?
I don't know where there is a flaw?
Should he cover her mouth first to prevent her from shouting, or simply knock her out?
Otherwise, the dignified prince would break into the boudoir at night, oh no, it's the study.

It's really not good to hear it spread.

Just as Chu Zhan was thinking, he saw a snow-white catkin almost touching his shoulder, and pulled out a book from the bookshelf.

Then the footsteps went away again.

He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not found.

When he smelled a sweet fragrance, he poked his head out carefully, only to see that the girl was burning incense and sitting on the rocking chair, reading a book.

Chu Zhan
Excuse me, why would someone put a rocking chair in the study?
Of course, this is not the point, the point is why some little ladies don't sleep in the middle of the night and go to the study to read?
Don't her parents care about it?
Oh, by the way, Chu Zhan touched his nose.

Her parents seem to be gone.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhan felt some compassion again.

He is still so young, I heard that he has a younger brother.

I heard that grandma is not her own?

The days to come shouldn't be too easy, right?
like him.
After his mother passed away, he couldn't even sleep with his eyes open, otherwise he wouldn't have survived to this day.

It may be that the night is too quiet, it is easy to make people think too much, or it may be that the faint lingering fragrance in the room made him relax slowly, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

until--
With a "bang", there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

Chu Zhan opened his eyes suddenly, just in time to see Yinyi fell to the ground in an extremely indecent posture, rubbing his buttocks with his teeth bared.

The little lady who was sitting leisurely reading a book on the rocking chair was long gone, and the remaining smoke from the cloisonné enamel incense burner on the table beside her was curling up.

Chu Zhan, "." So what is the situation?
"Your Highness, this fragrance is not right!" Yin Yiyi was very confident in his own skills, and it was absolutely impossible for him to fall asleep on the beam.

Most importantly, he actually fell off the beam! !
For a qualified guard, this is really a great shame!
Do you need to say that? ! ——Chu Zhan glared at him.

Yin rubbed his nose and silently extinguished the incense pills in the incense burner.

After thinking about it, he lifted the lid and stuffed the fragrant pill into his arms again.

Cough, I haven't seen this kind of mist before, take it back and study it.

Chu Zhan, "." Is this funny guy really his subordinate?

"Let's go." Chu Zhan walked towards the door and swaggered open the door.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we go through the window?" Is it really okay to go out so openly?
In other words, we seem to be breaking into a private house at night?

"It's all been discovered, what's there to hide?" Chu Zhan quickly disappeared into the night in a black robe.

It seems - is it?

Yin Yi followed behind his master, with a complicated expression on his face.

Chu Zhan couldn't help curling his lips.

What a smart girl.

She clearly found someone in the house, but she was able to put down the intruder quietly, and after confirming the identity of the other party, she could deliberately leave traces to let the other party know what she had discovered, but she also saved the other party's face. This is really a way to have both.

Chu Zhan was very sure that the little lady must have confirmed her identity before leaving quietly, otherwise, facing an unknown intruder, he did not believe that a girl's family could allow the other party to leave freely.

If it is said that the little lady is indeed super beautiful, especially those black eyes, which are calm and indifferent, not at all like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl should have, but she is not very old after all. Zhan really didn't take it to heart at all.

May I ask how many beautiful women there are in this world, how can he remember every one he sees.

But now, knowing that she is Gu Mingru's daughter, it's different.

Especially after seeing the intelligence of this little lady.

Well, let's meet tomorrow.

It's also good to clear up his doubts.

Chu Zhan strolled leisurely through the small garden under the corridor, all the way to the towering wall, and then jumped up and disappeared into the dark night.

The next day.

Gu Ruoyao's eyes were pale black, and she was eating red date porridge.

"Miss, someone from the concierge posted a post." Vanilla came in from outside the door.

It stands to reason that their family is in the filial piety period, and no one will come to the door.

Gu Ruoyao accepted Su Se's post and opened it.

There is only one line of flying and dancing in it.

Someone asked her to have a meeting at a teahouse this afternoon.

Seeing the signature, Gu Ruoyao's expression froze, and she felt a little helpless.

Because the inscription is -- Zhan Chu
Gu Ruoyao caressed her forehead, it was so perfunctory to even use an alias.

"Miss, who is this Zhan Chu?" Xiang Cao glanced at the post and asked curiously.

"A - friend." She wanted to say an acquaintance, but which acquaintance of hers would Vanilla not know?
Miss actually has such a friend?Why doesn't she know?
Vanilla was a little puzzled, but the director didn't ask any more.

After dinner, Gu Ruoyao returned to the living room and picked up the book as usual.

But the person is in a daze.

This is why His Royal Highness actually asked her to meet?

Is it because he was found out yesterday, so he became angry from embarrassment?

Should not be ah.

She obviously didn't expose him yesterday!

But she couldn't just do nothing yesterday, after all, she couldn't just let a strange man come and go freely like this, right?
Even if that person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that won't work.

So why meet her?
Of course, Gu Ruoyao would not be narcissistic and think that His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to her.

That's the prince, what beautiful woman haven't you seen before?
That is--is something really wrong?
For example—about Huaining County Magistrate, his father?

Apart from this, Gu Ruoyao really couldn't think of any intersection between herself and His Highness the Crown Prince.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoyao put away her careless thoughts, changed her clothes for going out, and then went out with vanilla.

There are only two teahouses in the county seat, and one of them is Dongliju.

It is located in a two-story building opposite Baicao Hall.

"Miss Gu? Are you back? Do you want to drink tea?" The second brother greeted Gu Ruoyao standing outside the door in surprise.

Dongliju and Baicaotang have been neighbors for decades, so the younger brother naturally knows Gu Ruoyao's identity.

Gu Ruoyao shook her head, then nodded again.

So what does this mean?
"I'm looking for someone to take me to Lanxuan." The elegant rooms in Dongliju are named after plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and Lanxuan is one of them.

"Okay, you come with me." Suddenly, Xiao Er led the way ahead, and asked with concern as he walked, "I heard that you went back to Shanyang, will you still go this time?"

County magistrate Gu is a rare good official, what a pity.

"I'll be leaving in a few days." Gu Ruoyao replied softly.

"I heard that that family has left, otherwise there would be a lot of rotten leaves left in the teahouse." He had to throw them at that family's house.

Gu Ruoyao, "." So that day when she saw a lot of rotten vegetables and rotten eggs on the walls of that house, did the second brother in front of her also have a share?

 Daily request fluttering. Thanks to the little cuties who voted
