044 Lift your veil

Lu Man justifiably took up residence in King Hui's Mansion.

During the day, he boiled medicine and acupuncture for Princess Rong, and at night, he quietly observed the movements of King Hui's mansion. Lu Mansheng does not know martial arts, and he will not act rashly until he finds out the guards and terrain of the palace.

After two days of careful observation, Lu Mansheng walked out of the room on the night of the third day. For the sake of safety, she brought a needle bag, if someone asked about the acupuncture for the princess, the palace was lost, and she should be able to get through the trick.

In order to see the princess nearby, she lived in the Autumn Garden.

According to her observation in the past two days, Prince Hui rarely sleeps in the princess's boudoir, and only stays in Princess Rong's room on the first and fifteenth days of the month, and the rest of the time is at the various concubines.

Today is the 8th, during the day in Xiuhua Pavilion, Lu Mansheng overheard Huan'er mention that today's prince will stay in the Winter Garden. She started from Qiuyuan today, where the prince usually stays, where the guards are relatively heavy, Lu Mansheng's first move, is somewhat fearful.

King Hui's mansion is very large and well guarded. Patrols are carried out every quarter of an hour at night, alternating with three columns. As soon as the second patrol team left, Lu Mansheng opened the door, slipped out, bent over as best he could, lowered his sense of storage, and gently led the door.

When deciding on tonight's action, Lu Mansheng specially changed into a black dress that could blend into the night, and the veil on his face was also changed to black. Without a night trip, this outfit wouldn't be much worse.

In addition to this outfit, I also specially prepared drugs. The only thing she can defend herself is this, and it will naturally have no effect when she encounters a patrol, but if there is only one person on the other side, there may be a glimmer of life.

After exiting the door, follow the corner of the wall and move towards the courtyard on the left. At the door of each house, two lanterns are hung, which means that every time you walk through the darkness, you will inevitably have to move in the light.

Lu Mansheng moved very softly, listening to the movements around her with all her attention, paying close attention to the rooms she passed along the way.

If her guess is correct, then in this Huiwang Mansion, there must be a little-known secret room and underground labyrinth.

In the past two days, except for checking Princess Rong's pulse in Xiuhua Pavilion, Lu Mansheng stayed in his room. The notable and the not-not, she wrote them down. Everything she observed while hiding behind the door, and what she overheard from Princess Congrong and Huan'er in Xiuhua Pavilion, were all written down on a piece of papyrus, and then analyzed whether there were any clues worthy of her attention.

Lord Hui is diligent in political affairs, and he has to stay in the study for at least four hours every day. I was often busy late at night, at least fifteen days a month, and stayed in the study.

And the remaining fifteen days, Princess Rong's room for two days, and the three concubines in the Winter Garden will also stay with King Hui for two days. For other women, there is no pattern.

Lu Mansheng was curious about what Prince Hui was busy with in the study for half a month. In the past two days, Lu Mansheng also heard a special news, King Hui stayed in different women's rooms every day, and would order someone to deliver supper on time. In the days of the study, Prince Hui never let anyone send supper, but the lights in the study would be lit late.

The focus of Lu Mansheng's search was placed in the study.

The study is indeed a place where the ancients hid secrets and set up organs, and even if there is no such discovery, Lu Mansheng will target here.

In fact, it is not surprising that the study of the ancients is equivalent to a heavy land, and the higher the status, the more obvious it is. In addition to Prince Hui himself, even Princess Rong did not dare to trespass into Prince Hui's study.

If you have any hidden secrets, the study room is indeed the best choice. The rest of the places are either the residences of the beauties and the subordinates, or the wings for the guests to stay, and it is no secret anywhere.

Even so, Lu Mansheng did not relax along the way, and also made notes on the rooms that were not occupied. Because the autumn garden is the residence of the princess, there are many rooms and few people, and it seems a little empty.

Lurking in every small corner of King Hui's mansion, listening to the voices of the patrol getting closer and closer, Lu Mansheng completely retracted himself behind the pillars and held his breath.

A patrol of fifteen people passed not far in front of him, and the orderly footsteps seemed to be stepping on Lu Mansheng's heart, tom! Tong! Tong!

Lu Mansheng has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never tried to do such a thing, so he naturally lacks experience and is nervous. Although with her current paralyzed face, whether she is happy or nervous, she can't see any unusual feelings.

is not only afraid of being discovered by them, she is more concerned about the fact that even if she falls into their hands, no one will be able to rescue Sister-in-law Sun and them.

She promised Worm that she would definitely find his mother, and she would not break her word.

The patrol passed, and Lu Mansheng came out of the corner.

The study is in the southeast of the Autumn Garden, Lu Mansheng went in and out of King Hui's mansion twice, and once saw guards guarding outside the study.

Lu Mansheng's sense of direction is not good, and he has walked around many times in the past two days, and he can see the general direction clearly, and finally find the right direction.

His eyes were staring at the road ahead, not noticing the flower pots placed in the corners of the eaves.

If you don't bring the flower pot back at night, is it really careless? Lu Mansheng clung to the flower pot that was about to fall, and looked at the patrol who had just walked a short distance, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Gently hold the flower pot up, gently put it in place, and Lu Mansheng continued to move forward.

It took Lu Mansheng more than half an hour to finally get close to the location of the study.

There was no one guarding outside the study, and Lu Mansheng waited in the dark for a long time, and when the two patrols alternated, the person who had been moving slowly a moment ago suddenly pounced on the study like a swift and dexterous cat.

Leaning his back against the study door, he quickly looked around, and Lu Mansheng pushed open the study door and sneaked in quietly.

"Don't move!"

A cold sword was pressed against Lu Mansheng's neck, and as soon as she stepped into the study, the sword was gone.

"Slowly turn around—"

Lu Mansheng didn't move, the sword pressing against her neck was two points closer, and she could already hear the sound of blood flowing outward.

According to his instructions, Lu Mansheng slowly turned around, and a pair of autumn night-like eyes stared coldly at the person in the dark.

"Now let me see who you really are."

The young voice in the darkness stretched out a hand at the same time as it sounded, and the direction was the veil that Lu Mansheng never lifted lightly.
