Chapter 274: Autumn Night at the Marquis' Mansion in the Mountains
Leng Rongyue lay there without moving, just concentrating on looking around.
There was nothing to be seen around except the pitch-black forest.
Yet the feeling is there.
However, Leng Rongyue did not detect any murderous intent, or even a hint of malice.
Leng Rongyue felt puzzled.
Leng Rongyue turned her head slightly and looked around.
This small movement startled Zi Yi who was beside her.
Zi Yi tilted her head and leaned close to Leng Rongyue's ear and whispered, "Miss, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Leng Rongyue also whispered to Zi Yi: "I always feel like someone is watching us around here."
After hearing this, Zi Yi's heart moved. Is the little princess so sensitive?
Zi Yi knew of course that there must be people around, but they were the ones protecting them, the prince and their secret guard brothers.
But should she tell the little princess?
Zi Yi thought for a moment, then leaned closer to Leng Rongyue's ear and said, "Miss, you can sleep peacefully. There should be secret guards in the mansion keeping watch for us."
In the dark night, Leng Rongyue's beautiful eyes looked at Zi Yi brightly, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Zi Yi didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly.
After a while, Leng Rongyue turned his head and glanced around again.
Apart from being able to barely see the forest under the moonlight, nothing else could be seen clearly.
Leng Rongyue looked at Ziyi again, and Ziyi nodded affirmatively again.
Leng Rongyue then withdrew her gaze and closed her eyelids.
After a while, Leng Rongyue seemed to fall asleep.
Xiao Jingyu on the tree had excellent eyesight. His eyes could see things clearly in the dark and could see very far.
He noticed that Leng Rongyue was whispering with the people around him.
He guessed that Leng Rongyue must have sensed his presence.
The corners of Xiao Jingyu's lips rose slightly.
Xiao Jingyu whispered to his little princess in his heart: Xiaoyue, sleep peacefully, I am here to watch over you!
On the other side separated by the bed sheet, Luo Yun opened his eyes and listened for some noises. The most obvious sound was the sound of flowing water in the stream.
He slowly stood up, put on his shoes, and walked towards the woods.
After a while, he came back, took off his shoes, lay down and fell asleep.
Shuanzi's father next to him also opened his eyes.
He turned his head and looked at Luo Yun who was lying behind him, without saying a word.
After a while, Luo Yun was heard snoring.
Shuanzi's father turned his head back, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
About an hour later, Qingyi opened his eyes.
She slowly raised her arm and gently touched Zi Yi through Leng Rongyue.
The man in purple turned his head and looked at the man in green.
Qingyi signaled that she could go to sleep, and he would continue to keep watch.
Zi Yi nodded slightly, moved her body gently, and closed her eyes.
The night passed peacefully.
In the mansion of Marquis Qinxing.
Leng Xian woke up early in the morning.
It can be said that he didn't sleep much that night.
Yin was afraid and refused to go look for Leng Yixing no matter what. She insisted on staying in this small room and squeezed on this narrow wooden bed with Leng Xian.
Perhaps it was because of the extreme fear hidden in her heart, that even when Yin fell asleep she subconsciously hugged Leng Xian's arm tightly, sticking closely to Leng Xian, and Leng Xian couldn't escape at all!
If he moved a little further away, he would fall off the bed!
Leng Xian turned his head irritably to look at Yin's ugly face, feeling disgusted in his heart!
Leng Xian didn't care about waking up Yin. He pulled out his arm and pushed Yin into the bed: "Move in closer, I'm about to fall off the bed!"
Yin was pushed awake in a daze. She opened her confused eyes and looked at Leng Xian.
Seeing that she didn't move, Leng Xian touched her with his arm again and said, "Move in, I'm about to fall!"
Only then did Yin understand Leng Xian's meaning.
Yin moved her body inside, and Leng Xian also moved inside, and finally they could lie down properly.
Seeing that Yin was about to reach out to hug his arm again, Leng Xian turned over in annoyance, leaving Yin with his back.
It’s almost dawn and I can’t sleep anymore, so I’ll just close my eyes and rest.
Yin then closed her eyes as well.
The fear in her heart made her cling tightly to Leng Xian's back again.
Leng Xian frowned tightly, gritted his teeth, held back his disgust and didn't make a sound. He just closed his eyes tightly and calmed his breathing which was disordered by anger.
Just when Leng Xian was about to fall asleep, there was a noise in the yard and two faint screams were heard.
Leng Xian didn't know what was happening outside, so he simply turned over and sat up, put on his shoes, walked two steps to the door and pushed it open.
I saw two maids, Qiugui and Chuntao, who had just gotten up from the ground. They were still a little shaky and were rubbing their eyes.
It turned out that the two maids fell asleep while sitting. Qiugui fell to the ground while sleeping, and dragged down Chuntao who was leaning on her, and they both fell to the ground together.
Last night, Qingye went to find Chuntao, and Chuntao came over with two thick clothes.
She saw Qiu Gui squatting alone in the yard, so she gave her a thick coat to cover herself and went to find two small stools from somewhere else.
The two sat close together.
Qiu Gui fell asleep because of the headache.
It didn't take long before Chuntao fell asleep.
The two of them fell asleep outside the house, leaning on each other.
At this moment, the two people who fell got up and rubbed their eyes. Qiu Gui saw Leng Xian standing there holding the door frame.
