Chapter 242: Almost Exposed
"What is she doing when she leaves the house!" Bei Liangye picked up the maid from the bed, threw her to the ground, and asked viciously.
"Slave, slave doesn't know, it's just that someone seems to have come to report something to the crown princess before."
"Then I saw that Niangniang called other maids to report to you like the prince, and asked me to pretend to be her and wait in bed."
"If someone else comes, let Niangniang's personal maid tell them that the crown princess is unwell and is not suitable to see guests, so let them step back and come back another day."
"But I didn't expect you, the prince, to come over in person, that's why the stuffing was revealed."
The maid knelt directly on the ground, she had never seen the prince angry, and now she was so frightened that she kowtowed, and at the same time, she didn't forget to answer Bei Liangye in her mouth.
It's a pity that the maid's answer didn't let Bei Liangye get the answer he wanted at all, and he was angry.
Bei Liangye only felt that Ruan Wanwan's sudden departure was because he had something to do with the six princes, and he rushed to his head with anger, Bei Liangye did not slow down, and his face turned red.
And the kneeling maid on the ground was still stammering: "Slave, I heard that Niangniang seemed to have been talking about the Xiao family or something, maybe I just want to take a look now." ”
The maid quietly raised her head, secretly observed the prince's expression, and cautiously continued: "Maybe the crown princess just wants to relax, the prince doesn't have to worry so much, the princess must be towards you." ”
Bei Liangye keenly captured the key words in the maid's words, his eyes lit up suddenly, and the whole person seemed to come to life: "What did you say?" The Xiao family? ”
"Slave, slave and maid are not sure ......"
"Is she alone? Did you bring someone? ”
"Like...... It doesn't seem to be. ”
"Where did she get the guts, how dare the Xiao family break in alone!"
Bei Liangye slapped the table suddenly, very angry, but he knew that he couldn't ask anything if it went on like this, so he waved his hand and let the maid retreat.
Needless to say, the Xiao family is dangerous, even if he wants to break in, he has to weigh it, how dare she Ruan Wanwan be sure that she can definitely break in, what can you do if something happens to you!
It's just that the situation is urgent now, and Bei Liangye doesn't have time to be angry with Ruan Wanwan, if something happens to Ruan Wanwan, he will definitely not be able to forgive himself.
Bei Liangye stopped pondering, he immediately left the prince's mansion, turned over and got on his horse, did not alarm others, and rushed to the direction of the Xiao family alone.
And Ruan Wanwan experienced some setbacks and finally came to the back door of the Xiao Mansion.
She raised her head, took a closer look at the Xiao Mansion, and couldn't stop admiring, the Xiao family is worthy of being an aristocratic family, and even a back door can be built so magnificently, and the main entrance of other families may not be so majestic.
But now is not the time to sigh about this, Ruan Wanwan put on the veil that covered her face, and did not forget that the purpose of coming here was to find the mystery of Xiao Huxi's life experience.
Since Ruan Wanwan dared to come alone and break into the Xiao Mansion, she had naturally done her homework.
When he was suspicious of Xiao Huxi before, Ruan Wanwan asked the man in black to give him the detailed information of the Xiao Mansion.
Up to the topographical structure of the Xiao Mansion, down to the dog raised by the concubine in the Xiao Mansion, there are all kinds of cubs, not to mention the distribution of guards who must be familiar with the distribution of guards and the time when the guards change shifts.
She even knew a secret passage that led directly to Master Xiao's study.
Ruan Wanwan skillfully dodged in from the hole on the side, facing a rockery, which happened to cover her figure, and at the bottom of the rockery, there was an entrance covered by a bunch of weeds, that is, the entrance of the secret passage.
She casually moved the pile of weeds away with her hands, put it aside, and leaned down, the secret passage was pitch black, but Ruan Wanwan still walked forward firmly.
Soon, there was some faint light in front of her, Ruan Wanwan knew that this was a secret passage, which was about to come to an end, and at the end of the secret passage was Master Xiao's study.
There were some voices from the other end, which stopped Ruan Wanwan's intention to continue forward, and she quieted down and hid in the dark, wanting to see what this Master Xiao was plotting with others.
"What do you think we need to do about it?"
"I don't have a better way right now."
"Either drug your father directly, and then ......"
Ruan Wanwan carefully distinguished the voice coming from the other end, and only felt very familiar, father? Could it be the eldest prince?
How did the eldest prince and Master Xiao get together? Is there anything else I don't understand?
Ruan Wanwan was surprised in her heart, they actually wanted to give the emperor medicine? So she couldn't help but want to lean forward again to confirm her conjecture.
However, she was only focused on listening to the conversation between the two of them, unaware of the dead branches that appeared under her feet.
And when she leaned forward, she happened to step on the dead branch, and the dead branch made a subtle cracking sound.
Master Xiao and the eldest prince, who were talking in the study, immediately became alert, and their conversation stopped abruptly.
Old Master Xiao and the eldest prince turned around and looked around, trying to find the place where the sound came from.
Ruan Wanwan saw all this clearly in the secret passage, she became nervous, but now she couldn't move, otherwise she would make a sound and be caught red-handed, but she had good fruit to eat.
When she saw the eldest prince coming in the direction of the secret passage, her heart rose to her throat, and she only prayed that she would not be discovered.
The eldest prince was getting closer and closer to her, and suddenly a pair of hands reached out from behind her and dragged her out.
Ruan Wanwan almost exclaimed in surprise when she thought of the change happening so suddenly, and the owner of the hands seemed to have foresight, holding her waist with one hand and covering her mouth with the other.
Seeing a few dodges, they returned to the entrance of the secret passage.
Ruan Wanwan only had time to look back to see who saved him, and it turned out to be Bei Liangye who arrived in time.
She breathed a deep sigh of relief, she didn't expect that she would be able to save the day in this way, which was really a blessing.
It's just that how did Bei Liangye know that he was here?
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to investigate something." Ruan Wanwan hurriedly explained.
Bei Liangye just glanced her up and down to make sure she wasn't hurt, snorted coldly, turned around and went to the prince's mansion.
Ruan Wanwan was helpless, knowing that she was reckless this time, so she had to follow him with small steps while explaining flatteringly.
"Don't be angry, I know I'm wrong."
"What's wrong with you?" Hearing this, Bei Liangye said coldly.
"I'm ......," Ruan Wan choked at one o'clock in the evening.
Only then did Bei Liangye realize that she didn't realize her mistake at all.
"Where are you putting your safety at risk?"
Ruan Wanwan saw that she had appeased herself for a while, but she didn't get any effect, but it seemed to add fuel to the fire.
She was also a little discouraged: "Didn't I want to find evidence for you to bring down the Xiao family earlier?" ”
