Cao Miao was about to speak, but suddenly felt a strange feeling and his scalp became numb. In addition to him and Han Dong, there was another person in the room, behind the curtain on the west side of the bedside. The man's aura was very weak. If he hadn't been a little heavy in the moment and blew the tent, he would have not noticed it at all.

But since he knew, the man could no longer hide his whereabouts. His breathing could be controlled, but his heartbeat could not be hidden. He concentrated and calmed down, heard the man's heartbeat, and realized that suppressing his breathing was not easy for the man.

He was obviously a little difficult to maintain and had to make some adjustments. The curtain less than a punch from Cao Miao's head was blown by his breath and swayed gently, but it was extremely light. If Cao Miao had not been very close and heard the sound of his heartbeat, he might have thought it was the night wind coming through the crack of the door or window.

Although his room is the best in the royal palace, it is still a bit airy.

Han Dong in front of the bed also felt something strange. He didn't care about Cao Miao, who was lying on the bed and motionless, took back his sword, held it with both hands, protected his front, slowly turned his body, and looked around.

The room was very quiet. The darkness was like sticky blood, covering the eyes and gradually soaking into the mouth and nose, making people unable to breathe.

In the uneasy atmosphere, there was a faint fragrance quietly spreading.

Cao Miao did not dare to move lightly, or even thought too much. When did this person come? He stood behind the curtain and happened to avoid the descending route of the stone lock on the beam. Was it an accident or a coincidence?

He knew nothing.

Compared to Han Dong before getting up, this person has a deeper realm and has exceeded Cao Miao's understanding. Even if he has the best physical condition in his previous life, he may not be his opponent.

Cao Miao had a feeling that if this person took action, he would have no chance to fight back and would undoubtedly die.

This is not acting, there will be no NG, victory or defeat means life and death.

The danger was encountered unexpectedly, and so suddenly, it was beyond Cao Miao's expectations. He tried his best to control his emotions, preventing himself from being caught by fear, and maintaining the last hint of clarity. As for whether he would reveal his feet or not, he no longer cared about it.

The old boxer who taught him martial arts said that a true master should remain calm in the face of changes, and he would not change his face when he collapsed. He once thought that he had reached this level, but now it seems that he could not do it at all. The reason he had this illusion before was that he had never really faced danger.

Acting is acting, and no matter how deeply you get involved, it is still a play.

Time may be short, but it gives people a long feeling. Han Dong, in front of the bed, couldn't hold on at first. He held the sword tightly in his hands, slowly retreated, opened the door, and flashed out. When he went out, he didn't care about concealing his whereabouts, knocked open the door of the study, flew a few steps, and ran away in panic.

With a "bang", a tiles on the wall fell to the ground, smashing to pieces.

The guards of the royal palace who were inspecting were alarmed, and the chaotic footsteps sounded. Someone rushed over and then knocked on the gong to call the police. The harsh sound of the gong broke the tranquility. The gate of the courtyard was slapped. Ahu, who was sleeping in the study outside, could no longer pretend to be asleep, so he got up and went out to open the door. Qingtao and Hongxing in the east wing were also awakened, opened the door, and rushed here.

As soon as the curtain moved, something fell beside Cao Miao's pillow.

Cao Miao was stunned. Before he could react, Qingtao held up a lamp, pushed open the door, walked quickly to the bed, and shouted softly.

"Prince, prince."

Using the lamp in Qingtao's hand, Cao Miao saw a blue thing beside the pillow from the corner of his eyes. He moved his heart, turned over, lay on his side on the bed, and held the thing in his hand and hid it in the quilt.

It is a tip that feels silky. It is a thing about two centimeters square inside, with a regular shape, and may be a seal or something.

A faint fragrance lingers on the tip of Cao Miao's nose, very real and warm.

At the same time, he saw a figure sticking to the south wall. Taking advantage of Qingtao, Hongxing pushed the door and flashed out, as fast as a ghost. Hongxing, who was walking behind, seemed to feel something. When he returned, he saw nothing. He was a little scared, and he accelerated his pace and rushed behind Qingtao.

Qingtao lifted up the curtain and saw that Cao Miao was sleeping soundly, he put down the curtain, greeted Hong Xing and stepped out with slight hands.

After dealing with the guards who were patrolling the night, Ahu closed the yard door again and returned to the study. Qingtao and Hongxing saw it opposite him, snorted with contempt and covered the door heavily. When Ahu came in, his expression was a little embarrassed, and his white face turned red.

Cao Miao saw it clearly, but pretended not to know it.

“Light the light.”

"Here." Ah Hu responded, pushed away the lampshade beside him, and the light shone out, illuminating the jade seal in Cao Miao's hand.

The jade seal is not big, but it is white and gentle all over. It is a good piece of white mutton fat. It is carved with exquisite bird-shaped buttons, and the lines are smooth and powerful. There are four seal characters on the seal, which Cao Miao did not recognize. He looked at Ah Hu, and Ah Hu looked confused, obviously he didn't know what it was.

"Prince, where did this come from?"

Cao Miao thought about it and decided not to tell Ah Hu the truth. This matter was too incredible, and he was afraid of scaring Ah Hu. Once Ah Hu felt that his safety was at risk, he asked Cao Zhi to send additional staff to protect him, which was not a good thing for him. The guards in the palace were either old or young, nor were they the opponent of that person. They would not play a protective role, but might cause trouble.

"I don't know either. Maybe it was Han Dong who fell."

"Oh..." Ah Hu cheered. "Then he is going to be in trouble."

“Why?”

"Why did he explain to his boss if he lost such a valuable thing?" Ah Hu couldn't help laughing. "Prince, you have to hide it. Once he finds that he has lost it, he will definitely come back to find it."

Cao Miao nodded and agreed. Although Han Dong would not come to find this thing, it was entirely possible that that person. If he gave him such a valuable thing, he would never disappear from now on.

Cao Miao thought for a while, got up and went to the study outside, and asked Ah Hu to polish the ink.

There was pen and ink in the study, but I had never used it before. Ah Hu worked hard for a long time before preparing everything and grinding the ink. He obviously rarely did such things, his movements were awkward and he didn't know the importance of the ink. Before the ink was ground, his sleeves were already a big black.

Cao Miao picked up the pen and moistened the ink and drew the bird-shaped buttons and words on the jade seal on the paper. However, he left a mind, and the bird-shaped buttons were separated from the text. He also found a book with seal characters from the bookshelf, and drew more than a dozen seal characters from the inside, mixed with the four characters on the jade seal.

Taking this opportunity, Cao Miao roughly read the books in the study. There seemed to be a lot of books, but there were actually a limited number, which was the number of books, namely "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Changes", "The Spring and Autumn Annals", "The Art of War", etc., including bamboo slips and paper scrolls, all wrapped in blue cloth bags, with wooden or dentin signatures on the bags.

Overall, there is no trace of reading these books. They just fall into dust here, which simply increases the burden of cleaning green peaches and red apricots.
