Ji Lingxue pinched her chin and thought for a while, then stretched out a finger and said, "Before you become my bodyguard, you have to do me a favor..."
Ji Lingxue deliberately dragged out the ending tone of "thing" and kept her eyes fixed on Ruge's face. She naturally didn't dare to use the person she picked up from the wilderness, so how could she do that without testing him out first
After picking up this man, Ji Lingxue asked Mo Xiang to investigate his background to see if someone was deliberately using her to get close to Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen has so many enemies, and the enemy of his enemy is his comrade-in-arms, so she doesn't mind being used.
"What's the matter?" Ruge's face remained calm. He had already guessed that the beautiful woman standing opposite him was not simple, and what she was going to do was somewhat difficult, but he had always been fearless.
Ji Lingxue raised the corners of her mouth and revealed an evil smile. She hooked her finger, asked Ruge to come closer to her, and whispered: "Please help me give a gift to Prince Chen. This is the layout of Prince Chen's mansion." As she spoke, she took a picture of the sketch she had drawn in advance and put it in Ruge's mind.
Ruge raised her eyebrows and asked, "My name is Ruge, may I know your name, Master?"
"Ji Lingxue." Ji Lingxue gave her name cheerfully and smiled brightly.
Ruge smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Ji Lingxue raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you a native of Beijing?" After all, her reputation as the Silly Concubine was very famous, and anyone who heard her name would know who she was. Ruge's performance was beyond her imagination.
Ruge nodded, "How did you know?"
At nightfall, the candles in the various courtyards of Prince Chen's Palace had been extinguished, and the palace was peaceful under the night sky.
A crescent moon hides in the clouds, and the dark wind blows the leaves, destined to be a restless night.
In the night, a dark shadow climbed over the courtyard wall like a ghost, successfully avoided the patrolling guards and sneaked into the study of Prince Chen's Mansion. The door opened without wind, and this scene happened to be seen by the patrolling guards.
"Oh no! There's a thief in the palace!" the guard muttered, and quickly ordered martial law throughout the palace and blocked all the important entrances, hoping to catch the thief in the urn.
The study room was surrounded by people, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. It was dark inside, and I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside through the half-open door.
The people outside were waiting anxiously, but they didn't dare to force their way in. Xiao Yichen had issued a ban that no one except his trusted butler and military advisor could enter the study without permission.
After the captain of the guards threatened the people inside, he did not wait for the thief to come out, but instead waited for Xiao Yichen who came hurriedly with a cold face.
"Your Majesty!" The guards looked at Xiao Yichen expectantly as if they had found their leader. The chief guard lowered his head in shame. He was on duty tonight but a thief broke into the mansion. His position as chief guard was probably over.
Xiao Yichen ignored the guards, walked straight through the crowd and kicked the door open. The torches in the guards' hands and the crescent moon in the sky shone into the dark study, making everyone's face change drastically.
The chief guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after a long while he murmured, "This is... This is..."
It's really a ghost!
"Bring the torches!" Xiao Yichen ordered calmly. Immediately, a guard handed over a torch.
"I want to see who is playing tricks!" He said as he rushed in angrily with a torch in hand.
Chi Feng came to the study room with sleepy eyes. He was frightened by the cold and solemn atmosphere and lost most of his sleepiness in an instant. He rushed into the study room and saw Xiao Yichen standing in front of a wall in a daze with a torch in his hand.
Chi Feng looked around and asked, "Where's the thief? He's been caught. I never thought there would be another thief in the capital who's so bold as to visit Prince Chen's mansion... Prince, what's wrong with you?"
