Prince Xiang's Mansion

As the emperor's only younger brother, Prince Xiang's Mansion is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Yanjing, except for the imperial palace.

But to Gu Jue, there was not much difference between Prince Xiang's Mansion and other mansions.

To be honest, it takes longer to enter Prince Xiang's Mansion than to enter other mansions.

As the largest mansion in Yanjing, Prince Xiang's Mansion is certainly not a place where one can find the destination easily.

This was the first time that Gu Jue entered Prince Xiang’s Mansion. He searched for a long time before he found Shen Changan’s courtyard.

What Gu Jue didn't expect was that Shen Changan hadn't gone to bed yet so late, but was reading in the study.

It was a hot summer day, and Shen Changan's study had its windows open and incense burning.

The place where Shen Changan was sitting was facing the window.

This also made it convenient for Gu Jue. He didn't have to risk entering the room. He could just sit on the tree in the yard and easily see Shen Changan sitting by the window reading a book.

But there are quite a few secret guards on this tree.

Gu Jue did not knock them down, but restrained his breath and sat quietly on a tree branch.

Gu Jue was quite confident in her internal strength and martial arts. So far, she had only lost to the old Taoist priest.

Gu Jue didn't dare to test the shadow guards of the imperial palace casually, but the secret guards of the royal palace were fine.

Those with strong internal strength and high martial arts skills usually hide quietly beside their masters and never show up.

Just like Yingye and Yingtian by her side, she would never arrange them to do other things, they would just stay by her side and protect her silently.

Gu Jue did not choose to take the risk, but just sat on the tree, looking at Shen Changan until the day broke.

In the study,

Normally, Shen Changan would have gone to bed at this time, but tonight, he suddenly remembered that there was still a key point of a book that he had not sorted out.

Since he was going to take part in the imperial examination, he would naturally not treat it casually.

Therefore, he originally planned to sort out the key points of this book before going to bed.

However, after an unknown amount of time, just when he was about to finish cleaning.

He suddenly felt that burning gaze.

I immediately raised my head and looked out the window, but there was nothing outside.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Shen Changan retracted his gaze and continued reading the book in his hand.

He couldn't be wrong, it was that gaze. That gaze he hadn't felt for a long time.

The last time he felt it was when he and his good friends gathered in the Poetry Tower after the Empress Dowager's banquet.

It was the same at that time, I was stared at by such a harmless but extremely hot gaze.

No, it's a little different.

Last time it was scorching heat, this time the gaze,

Shen Zhuo's ears turned slightly red.

I felt a little burning. Being stared at by that gaze, my body felt like it was being burned and was slowly heating up.

Moreover, this gaze made him want to avoid it. This gaze always made him feel like he wanted to eat him.

Shen Changan frowned, it was really too rude.

However, if she was really there, then her internal strength should be very high, and she could even avoid many secret guards and stay in the palace without being noticed by any secret guards.

Shen Changan didn't even think about whether it was let in by the servants of the palace.

The palace is different from ordinary mansions. The identities of slaves entering the palace must be confirmed, and only those without any problems can enter the palace to serve.

What's more, the palace is not as simple as it seems.

The palace has shadow guards left by His Majesty, and his father also has his own shadow guards. As a member of the royal family and the emperor's younger brother, how could he not have people with strong martial arts around him?

Moreover, the palace is also managed by his mother. Neither his mother nor his father are incompetent people. On the contrary, they are both very capable.

So Shen Changan was not worried at all about whether there were spies in Beppu or assassins.

As for her, Shen Changan didn't think she would be in any danger.

Because there was absolutely no malice or murderous intent in the other person's eyes.

Moreover, as the heir to the royal palace and the emperor's nephew, he is naturally surrounded by powerful men.

So Shen Changan felt it was amazing that she could come in, and he admired her courage and ability.

However, Shen Changan still felt a little uncomfortable. He felt like he was on fire after being stared at by such burning eyes.

There was only a little bit of the book left to finish.

Then, Shen Changan didn't know why, but after finishing reading the book, he should have gone to bed, but instead he picked up another book.

Then I started reading.

Looking at the new book in his hand, Shen Changan didn't know what was wrong with him, but the book was already opened, so he decided to finish reading it before going to bed.

Then Shen Changan read the book, picked up the book, persuaded himself, read the book again, and picked up the book again. In the process of repeating this cycle, he read the book all night under that burning gaze.

Gu Jue spent the whole night looking at Shen Changan, and then looking at Shen Changan again.
