After his feet landed on the ground, Zhenliang quickly found a fire starter and lit the candle with the help of the moonlight projected from the window.
She sighed in her heart, this is simply God helping me.
There is only one south window in Jinye's bedroom. If a man wants to leave, he can only go through the south window and door, or fly up and penetrate the roof.
The roof was definitely out of the question, and since Zhenliang had been standing near the south window, the man wouldn't be stupid enough to escape through the south window and be caught by her.
In this way, after eliminating two, only the door is left.
However, since Zhenliang jumped in from the south window, the door has not made any sound of opening. In other words, the man is probably still inside, unless he has already opened the door and went out when Zhenliang climbed out of the window.
In order to make a confirmation, Zhenliang first locked the south window, then ran to the door to check.
The door's lock remained locked, so the man did not leave the door.
Because he was worried about Jin Ye, and even more worried that the man inside was ANSA, Zhenliang didn't worry about the danger at all.
At this moment, no man was seen at the scheduled time. Only then did Zhenliang realize that he was abrupt and impulsive.
What if that man is not the one that Yin Ye accepts on his own initiative, nor is he an ANSA, but some other evil spirit? Then tonight, will she and Jin Ye be silenced?
Zhenliang took a deep breath, covering up his beating heart, while looking around with wide eyes.
Now that she's already in, there's no point in escaping. It's better to get to the bottom of it.
Glancing at the bed, Jin Ye was lying motionless, as if asleep.
However, Zhenliang felt that Jin Ye must not have fallen asleep, but was probably knocked unconscious temporarily by the man.
Biting his lip, Zhenliang lit more candles and shouted coldly, "Stop hiding, I've seen your tail, come out."
There seemed to be laughter in the air, but it was more of an illusion caused by Zhenliang's nervousness.
No man came out of her sight, ever.
When the bedroom became brighter with more and more candles, Zhenliang became more courageous.
The setting of Jinye's bedroom is very simple. If people can be hidden, it is just boxes, cabinets, and under the bed.
After checking these three places one by one, Zhenliang found no trace of the man.
Finally, Zhenliang walked to the bed because she suspected that the man was hiding inside the bed.
However, Jin Ye was sleeping deeply on the small bed, neatly covered with quilts, and there was nothing unusual except for Jin Ye's face being unusually flushed.
Zhenliang didn't think that he would judge the wrong position, let alone hear the wrong voice.
So, fearing that Jin Ye had really been knocked unconscious, he pushed Jin Ye hard and tried to wake her up.
At the same time, Zhenliang kept looking back, fearing that when she wasn't paying attention, the man would appear from somewhere like a ghost and scare her to death, or strangle her directly.
Because Jinye's breathing was extremely normal, and there was no sign of pain on his face, and Zhenliang had heard from Yinye that Jinye was very good at sleeping, so he pushed Yinye for a long time without waking him up, nor did he
Something feels wrong.
With her persistence, pushing, shouting, and even pinching, Jin Ye was finally forced to wake up by her.
Jin Ye opened her groggy eyes. When she saw that it was really cold, she was really startled. It took her a while to react and said, "Miss, why are you in my room? Is it dawn yet?"
Shaking his head, Zhenliang stared into Jinye's honest and clear eyes and asked, "Kinye, have you been sleeping all this time? No one has been here?"
Jin Ye shook his head carelessly, "I went to bed very early. Generally speaking, I won't wake up until dawn. Silver Ye said I won't wake up unless someone pours cold water on me."
Zhenliang looked back warily out of habit and explained, "I passed by your room just now and heard your moans coming from inside. I thought something had happened to you, so I climbed in through the window."
Hearing this, Jin Ye's face instantly turned redder.
Zhenliang asked quickly, "Kinye, what are you hiding from me? Tell me quickly. Did someone come in just now? Don't lie to me."
Jin Ye kept shaking his head, and then hesitantly said, "Miss, I'm sorry for scaring you. No one has come in. It's absolutely true. In fact... it was me... I had a dream. Miss, you
Don’t tell anyone else, especially Yin Ye, I will be laughed to death by her.”
In fact, Jinye didn't have the nerve to tell Zhenliang that recently, she often had nightmares, so that when she woke up the next morning, she would feel very tired and even sore all over, as if the things in the dream had really happened.
Zhenliang frowned, unable to doubt Jinye's words.
Because, after listening outside the window for so long just now, she indeed only heard the woman's moans, but not any sound from the man, not even his breathing.
It would be nice if there were no men to bully Jin Ye, and it would be nice if it wasn't a dark three. It seems like she is overthinking.
Looking at Jin Ye who was full of shame, Zhenliang smiled, "Everyone can make a dream, and I am no exception. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Don't worry, I won't tell others, but Jin Ye, will you do it?"
Are you complaining that I disturbed your dream? Who is the man in your dream, and what level have you progressed to?"
"Miss, please stop asking, I don't know anything!" After saying this, Jin Ye was extremely shy and hid under the quilt, refusing to poke his head out for a long time.
Zhenliang thought that Jin Ye was shy and it was too late at night, so he didn't forcefully lift the quilt to play with her. He just told her not to forget to lock the door after she left, and then she left.
Jin Ye just hummed a few times under the quilt and said nothing else.
Zhenliang had no idea that if she lifted the quilt, all her trusted inferences would be overturned.
Jinye hid her face in the quilt because she was shy, but the reason why she didn't come out for a long time was because she was shocked to find that she in the quilt was just like herself in the dream, naked...
…
On the second day, Zhenliang stayed at General Yuchi's mansion to kill time, waiting for the time to come back to the palace.
Although some things were different from what she expected when leaving the palace here, her basic wish had been fulfilled and she still felt that the trip was worthwhile.
When there was about an hour left before leaving the palace, Yin Ye came to announce that it was time to get on the carriage.
I don't think it's strange. For Zhenliang, the matter has been completed and he has to go to the palace sooner or later. It doesn't matter if he goes to the palace an hour earlier.
He climbed into the carriage absentmindedly and before he could sit down, Zhenliang was stunned. He looked at the stern man sitting calmly in the carriage for a long time, forgetting that he should sit down immediately.
For a moment, she felt her heart melting as warmly as ice.
