"Someone is coming!" Gu Jiao suddenly said, alert.
Yuan Tang carefully sensed his surroundings, and indeed, he heard a very faint noise above his head.
He had initially thought that the girl’s martial arts skills were inferior to his, but after witnessing her lose control and kill so many assassins, he dared not underestimate her anymore.
But he was still surprised.
The girl’s perception was overly sharp.
The two of them exerted themselves to hold their breath, minimizing their presence as much as possible.
Both wanted to see what was happening in the Crown Princess’s room, but alas, there was only a sliver of a gap in the door.
Yuan Tang squinted his eyes and crouched down.
Gu Jiao pressed down on his neck and forced him into a crouch.
Yuan Tang was dumbfounded; I meant for you to crouch!
Gu Jiao mouthed the words: "No need to thank me."
Yuan Tang: "..."
Forget it, a good man doesn’t fight with a woman.
Yuan Tang stooped down, giving Gu Jiao the better view.
The two of them stared intently at the movement across, the person having sneaked in using lightness skill, presumably someone whose whereabouts couldn’t risk being exposed. They both looked toward the window, somewhat worried the other party might close it.
Fortunately, it seemed that the person had not paid attention to it.
After all, the small window faced not a courtyard, but a cold, impersonal warehouse.
The individual was a tall and well-built man, exuding an aura of nobility, yet at first sight, he suddenly projected a suffocating and terrifying presence.
Unlike the terror exuded by Gu Jiao when she had lost control, Yuan Tang thought, this man’s seemed laced with an evil dominance and possessiveness.
Yuan Tang could only see his back and couldn’t guess the man’s identity or intentions.
He tried to discern something from Gu Jiao’s expression, but upon looking up, all he saw was her small chin, seemingly mocking him...
The man approached the bedside.
The Crown Princess had already gone to bed, lying on her side on the soft bedchamber, her hair shiny and smooth like satin.
Without makeup, her eyes closed lightly, she still couldn’t hide her stunning beauty, which was enchanting and elegant.
Suddenly, the man sat down by the bed.
Yuan Tang was startled.
The Crown Princess was asleep and hadn’t noticed someone had entered the room for a while.
But soon, she felt a cool hand traveling over her cheek and hair.
Thinking it was the Crown Prince, she murmured in a daze, "Your Highness..."
