Chapter 3: The Voyeur Is Discovered
Yan Nanwan was all about the Yan family, and she didn't see how Xue Yan subdued these women.
Xue Yan was just a distraction, Yan Nanwan struggled out of his arms, ran to Yan's face, and helped her to hide in Tibet.
The general took two steps, and a woman in red behind him attacked Yan Nanwan with a sword. She felt a sharp sword wind coming from behind her, and she was depressed, why did so many young ladies from the family in the hall keep staring at herself?
Helping Yan Shi to the side a few points, she glanced at the other people in the hall, one foot touched the table leg, she and Yan Qi tripped together, just dodging the sword of the woman in red.
Before she could get up, the woman in red came again. Yan Nanwan looked at it, and felt that he couldn't hide, so he pretended to be frightened and shouted: "Seven princes, help!"
Xue Yan heard the cry for help, and was entangled by several women in red, unable to leave. looked in the direction of Tao Xiaobei and shouted: "Xiao Bei, save Miss Yan." β
Tao Xiaobei shook away the woman in red in front of him with a palm, and one flew in front of Yan Nanwan, kicked and raised a sword, collided with the sword of the woman in red, and broke the sword of the woman in red.
glanced at Yan Nanwan, who fell to the ground, pulled her up, grabbed her hand, and attacked the woman in red with her body, and immediately caught the acupoint of the woman in red. After that, he quickly let go of Yan Nanwan's hand, leaving half of his sleeve.
Yan Nanwan looked at the falling half of the white sleeves, and remembered that when Tao Xiaobei grabbed her hand just now, it seemed to be through his sleeves. And just now he grabbed his hand to point at the woman in red's acupoint, so he's a cleanliness fetish?
When the Janissary commander arrived with the Praetorian Guard, he quickly captured all the Assassins. However, after all the women in red were captured, they bit their tongues and committed suicide, leaving no trace at all.
"The minister is late for rescue, please punish the emperor!" Zhang You, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, knelt down.
The emperor in the high position looked at the woman in red who committed suicide by biting her tongue in the main hall and the ministers and female dependents who were killed, his face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Check, check for me!"
Zhang He said respectfully: "The minister receives the order!"
The emperor glanced at the crown prince and several princes standing on both sides of the main hall, and said, "This matter is entrusted to the prince." β
"The retainers are commanded. β
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet ended hastily. Yan Nanwan and Yan Nanchen went out of the palace gate, and happened to meet Tao Xiaobei talking to a little maid.
"Nanwan, go and say thank you to Tao Gongzi. Yan Nanchen said.
Yan Nanwan thought of Tao Xiaobei's serious cleanliness habit, and rolled her eyes in her heart, but she still walked upright not far from Tao Xiaobei, waiting for him to finish talking to the little maid before he stepped forward and said softly: "Thank you Tao Gongzi for saving your life tonight." β
Tao Xiaobei glanced at Yan Nanwan lightly, and said coldly: "Miss Yan doesn't have to be polite, I'm just entrusted by the Seventh Prince." β
Yan Nanwan still smiled softly: "No matter what, thank you Tao Gongzi." β
Tao Xiaobei glanced at her indifferently, raised his feet and walked past her. When passing by Yan Nanchen's side, the two looked at each other, Yan Nanchen smiled warmly and nodded.
"Miss, I heard that the palace was assassinated tonight!" After getting into the carriage, Twilight Shu pulled Yan Nanwan with an excited face and asked.
Yan Nanwan glanced at the twilight book, stretched out her hand and knocked on her head, and said, "The emperor and the queen mother were assassinated, what are you so excited about?"
"Miss!" Dusk Shu looked at Yan Nanwan with dissatisfaction and said, "I'm just curious who has this bear-hearted leopard who dares to break into the palace and assassinate?"
"I don't know. Yan Nanwan closed his eyes and recuperated. Thinking of attending a queen mother's birthday banquet today, she has an extra fiancΓ© for no reason. Thinking of the appearance of the Seven Princes again, I felt that this person was a little easier to get along with than the prince, and the depression in my heart was also dispersed a lot.
Dusk Shu and Yan Nanwan have been in the yard for half an hour, Yan Nanwan looked helpless, and said, "Dusk Shu, I'll step on it tonight, and you stay in the yard to watch the house." β
"No!" Twilight Shu righteously refused, "If you are assassinated in the palace tonight, there will definitely be a large-scale search in the capital, Miss, you should stop some tonight!"
Yan Nanwan looked at his eyes and shouted, "Brother, you're here!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the twilight book turned around, Yan Nanwan disappeared into the courtyard in a flash. After Twilight reacted, he could only beat his chest at the empty courtyard.
With light work, he went all the way to the outside of the wall of King Zhao's mansion. After touching the black veil on his face, after making sure that it was correct, he jumped to the wall, took out the structural layout of Zhao Wangfu from his arms, studied it carefully, and his eyes were full of ambition. Then he put the drawings of the structural layout in his arms, and came to King Zhao's study unimpeded with light work.
It was pitch black in the study, Yan Nanwan raised her eyebrows, landed at the door of the study, looked around cautiously, and gently pushed open the door of the study.
After a while, Yan Nanwan came out of the study. Wrapped in a black cloth with an inkstone, his eyes were quite satisfied.
Everyone in the capital knows that King Zhao, who has a different surname, does not like gold, silver, jewelry, rare toys, and beautiful women's rights, but only loves pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Yan Nan stood at the head of the wall of Zhao Wang's Mansion in the evening, and when he was about to leave, he remembered Zhao Heqian mentioned by Tao Xiaobei at the birthday banquet today, and was really curious about what this "No. 1 beauty in the world" looked like, so he went to the courtyard where Zhao Heqian lived.
He was about to land in a secret place in the courtyard when he heard a question: "Why did you do this to me?"
This Yan Nanwan sounded quite resentful in it, mostly bitter and bitter that could not be loved. Sigh, another idiot boy!
"You are the daughter of King Zhao, sooner or later you will marry the crown prince, and now being a crown princess is much better than a side concubine. β
Yan Nanwan listened to this, isn't this Tao Xiaobei? It turned out that the little maid I saw at the gate of the palace tonight was actually someone from Zhao Heqian's side. Listening to Zhao Heqian's tone, it seems that she is concerned about Tao Xiaobei!
"You know it's not the prince that I like. Zhao Heqian sobbed softly, "Xiao Bei, what do I dislike about you?"
"You're good. Tao Xiaobei spoke indifferently.
Yan Nanwan listened to the conversation between the two, and wanted to see more and more what Zhao Heqian looked like? Following the source of the voices of the two, he walked over gently.
When I arrived at a bamboo forest, I saw Tao Xiaobei sitting on a stone bench, Zhao Heqian may have stood up excitedly, walked to Tao Xiaobei and looked at him. Yan Nanwan could only see Zhao Heqian's back, but looking at her back, she felt that she must have looked good.
"He Qian, after today, you will be the emperor's crown princess, and we still don't have to deal with each other in the future. After Tao Xiaobei said this, he got up and left.
Zhao Heqian turned around and looked at the back of Tao Xiaobei leaving, her heart was sad, and her tears could not fall, which made people feel distressed for a while.
Yan Nanwan was able to see Zhao Heqian's face, coupled with her sad look, Yan Nanwan understood why she could win the title of "the first beauty in the world", this appearance is simply the only one in the world.
When he took the inkstone out of Zhao Wang's mansion, he was stopped by Tao Xiaobei. Yan Nanwan looked at Tao Xiaobei's back, and was faintly flustered in his heart, could it be that he found out just now?
After gathering his thoughts, he didn't say a word, and prepared to cross Tao Xiaobei and leave directly. When rubbing shoulders with him, Tao Xiaobei suddenly made a move, and Yan Nanwan reacted quickly, and the two exchanged hands.
Tao Xiaobei was obviously just trying to test her, but Yan Nanwan was bent on getting rid of Tao Xiaobei, and she became more and more ruthless. Tao Xiaobei also became serious, but he didn't put her to death, he just wanted to take off the veil on her face.
Realizing Tao Xiaobei's thoughts, Yan Nanwan didn't want to continue to entangle with him, touched the hidden weapon from his waist, and drifted away with a turn.
After Tao Xiaobei took the hidden weapon, Yan Nanwan's figure had long since disappeared, and he glanced down at the hidden weapon in his hand, which was the same as the prime minister's mansion last time. It is a knife with an epiphany engraved on it, and the workmanship looks very exquisite.
Yan Nan landed in a remote alley at night, except for a night suit, revealing the clothes of ordinary women inside, and then went to the direction of Yanfu.
"The emperor spares his life!" Qin Zhao, the secretary of Dali Temple in the court, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, trembling all over.
The emperor asked coldly: "A little thief can't be caught, what's the use of the court raising you!"
The emperor was angry. Tao Hansheng stood up and said: "This thief is not an ordinary Jiangyang thief, he specializes in stealing from the eunuch's house, I am afraid that there is something hidden behind this." β
"Yes, yes, what Prime Minister Tao said is very true. Qin Zhao hurriedly echoed, "Even if Dali Temple has set up a net, it has not been able to see this person. β
Xue Yan heard this, and there was a little interest in his heart. Picking on the house of the eunuch to steal, I don't know if this person is a master of art or overconfident?
"Lord Qin, do you know if this person is a man or a woman?" the prince asked.
Qin Zhao hesitated for a long time and said, "Prince Yu, this ...... I don't know. β
The prince frowned, and asked again, "What evidence can be left at the scene?"
Qin Zhao shook his head again.
"The dog has fought with the thief. Tao Hansheng said thoughtfully, "That thief has strong martial arts and is good at using hidden weapons. β
The more Xue Yan listened, the more interesting he felt, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, he walked to the center of the hall leisurely, bowed his hand and said, "Father, it is better to hand over this matter to his sons to investigate." β
The emperor looked at Xue Yan, then at Qin Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground uselessly, and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate." β
No one in Sheng Tianguo knows that the Seven Princes Wen Taowu is not under the crown prince. It's just that this temperament is really flattering, and it doesn't have the solemnity that a royal family should have. He can often be seen in teahouses, restaurants, and Fengyue places in the capital.
When Qin Zhao heard that the emperor asked Xue Yan to investigate the case, he was both happy and worried in his heart. This lord is even more difficult to serve than the emperor and the crown prince, I don't know if he should go to Cuihong Courtyard to find him or Fengyue Restaurant to find him?
