I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 1068 A Busy Night: Returning Home to Dress Up

Xiao Jingyu nodded silently, "That must be their plan!"

This place is very close to the royal palace!

Their wolfish ambitions are now crystal clear!

Looking at the dark and long secret passage before them, both of them had grim expressions.

Leng Rongyue took out a silk handkerchief from her pocket, holding it by one corner as it hung limply...

After a short while, Leng Rongyue put away the silk handkerchief and said, "Without air movement, this secret passage should not have been dug yet."

I guess... they probably dug from both ends!

The excavated soil from Prince Yi's residence was too much to hide, and they didn't dare to make too much noise, so... they probably only excavated this section.

We're just waiting to dig it over from the other end so the two sides can connect!

Let's quickly head ahead and take a look to determine our direction and location before searching for our target on the ground.

"If we miss today, it might not be easy to come down here and explore again!"

Xiao Jingyu nodded in agreement.

Leng Rongyue took Xiao Jingyu's hand and teleported forward with him.

As Leng Rongyue had expected, she only needed to teleport twice to reach the end of the secret passage.

The two pressed their ear against the cave wall and listened... but heard nothing—either the work on the other side had stopped, or it was still far away.

After thinking for a moment, Leng Rongyue released Xiao Jingyu's hand.

As she crouched down, Leng Rongyue held a finely crafted entrenching tool in her hand.

Leng Rongyue quickly dug a shallow pit with an entrenching tool.

Before Xiao Jingyu could figure out what Leng Rongyue was going to do, a green, disc-shaped iron lump appeared.

Leng Rongyue buried the iron lump directly into the pit, then leveled the ground again, sweeping the excess soil to the edge of the secret passage.

Leng Rongyue then stood up and carved a deep mark on the top of the secret passage where landmines were buried.

If you don't come here again, that's fine; but if you do come again, you might accidentally hurt yourself!

"This is the...landmine you were talking about?"

Xiao Jingyu recalled the mysterious weapon Leng Rongyue had shown them the day before after they finished eating roast duck... This should be called a landmine!

Leng Rongyue nodded. "That's right, this is a landmine!"

This landmine is extremely powerful. Even if someone over there manages to dig through this secret passage, if they step on it, it will explode instantly, collapsing the passage and burying them inside. The passage will then be cut off!

As Leng Rongyue spoke, she retreated a dozen steps back the way she came, dug another pit, buried another landmine, and similarly drew a clear mark on the top of the secret passage.

Seeing Xiao Jingyu looking at her, Leng Rongyue smiled and said, "Double insurance!"

Even if you don't step on that one, you'll still step on this one!

This secret passage will also be blown up!

Xiao Jingyu nodded in agreement.

The two did not linger there any longer and turned to walk quickly back the way they came.

Returning to the secret room, they carefully inspected the area but found nothing more. They then went back up the stairs to the study and restored the entrance to the secret passage to its original state.

At this moment, a faint glimmer of light shone into the room through the window; dawn was approaching.

Without further ado, the two decisively abandoned the accounting office in the front yard and headed straight for the back yard of Prince Yi's mansion.

The main storeroom of Prince Yi's mansion was located in the courtyard next to the back garden, where guards stood watch day and night.

After sensing the wind direction, Leng Rongyue pressed the button for the sleeping potion spray twice.

When they arrived at the warehouse door, the guards with swords were already lying on the ground, dead, along with their swords!

Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu seized the time and didn't waste any more time. They unlocked the door, packed their things, searched, went out, and locked the door again. Xiao Jingyu led Leng Rongyue over the back wall, and the whole series of actions was completed in one go!

Xiao Jingyu did not let go of Leng Rongyue's arm, and with a few leaps, he was far away from the Prince Yi's mansion!

By the time the two returned to the back wall of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, it was almost dawn!

Once she was sure no one was around, Leng Rongyue took Xiao Jingyu directly into the space.

Xiao Jingyu's spare clothes had already been prepared in advance in the space.

Leng Rongyue left Xiao Jingyu on the first floor to wash up and change, while she went directly upstairs to her own room.

After working all night and sweating a lot, Leng Rongyue simply took a quick shower.

Then she changed into a complete set of clothes, from the inside out;

After drying her long hair, she simply tied it up, waiting to leave the space before asking Luo Xue to comb it for her.

After Leng Rongyue finished tidying up, she went downstairs to the hall and saw Xiao Jingyu, who was wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe, already sitting on the sofa waiting for her!

If it weren't for the fear that the Duke of Anguo's family would get anxious if they didn't return soon, Leng Rongyue would have loved to take a couple of hours of nap in her spatial dimension.

The two left the space directly. Xiao Jingyu went to the front yard, while Leng Rongyue returned to the embroidery building.

Granny Yuan, Luo Xue, Piao Yu, and Qing Yi had already gotten up and tidied themselves up. When they saw Leng Rongyue return, they hurriedly came forward to serve her.

Leng Rongyue had already washed up and changed in the space, but she pulled Luo Xue to the dressing table and asked Luo Xue to comb her hair.

Leng Rongyue was still a young girl who had not yet reached marriageable age, so her hairstyle should not be complicated.

Luo Xue styled Leng Rongyue's hair into two delicate double-loop buns, like a young girl's hairstyle, and adorned her with a pair of exquisite and simple pearl flowers.

Seeing that the osmanthus in the courtyard was in full bloom, Piaoyu picked a small cluster and placed it in Leng Rongyue's newly combed hair bun.

The tiny flowers nestled among her dark hair made Leng Rongyue's small face appear even more lively and playful!

The rich fragrance of osmanthus instantly enveloped Leng Rongyue!
