Chapter 13: The Night Detective
"No, no, no, the slave definitely didn't mean that. It's just that I still care about you for all reasons. ”
"My good frost, all you need to do now is put your heart in your stomach and wait quietly for me to come back."
Ye Yuhong turned Shuang'er's body with her hand and gently pushed her in the direction of the couch.
He smiled and asked, "You are similar to me, so you will lie here for a while instead of me." When I get back, you'll go back to your room and sleep. Can this difficult and important task be accomplished? ”
"Princess, don't worry, the slave will never make any mistakes!" Frost assured.
Seeing that Shuang'er's face was full of seriousness, Ye Yuhong was also inexplicably relieved. patted Frost on the shoulder, and turned away directly.
……
The night was silent, and everything in the world was shrouded in darkness.
The noisy and lively streets during the day have become silent at the moment. As for the most noble palace, it is also soaked in inky night at this time.
No one noticed that there was a slender and thin figure shuttling between the palaces.
"Where is the Queen's bedchamber...... I remember it was around here, why can't I find it......"
Ye Yuhong's heart swelled with helplessness, but she did not give up on stealing the jade pendant.
After all, in the daylight today, Ye Lige gave a death order. If she didn't see Yu Pei in three days, she would have to die not long after she came to this world.
And this situation is something that Ye Yuhong never wants to see no matter what.
Just when Ye Yuhong was distressed that she couldn't find the way, there was a conversation in the aisle not far away.
"Where is the queen mother, why is she not in the palace at this point in time?" The green-clothed palace maid wondered.
The purple-clothed palace maid also frowned slightly, but her expression was relieved in an instant.
"The queen mother should be at the third princess now, and I remember that the queen mother would go to the third princess from time to time to say her best words. Now at this hour, I can only be there. ”
After hearing these words, the green-clothed palace maid hurriedly said: "Then we must hurry up and work, if we don't burn the palace warmer in advance, we will be scolded again when the queen mother comes back." ”
Time slipped away silently, and the two palace maids who were talking gradually drifted apart.
They didn't notice that behind the rockery, the corners of Ye Yuhong's mouth hidden in the dark hooked up a smug smile.
Half an hour later, near the Queen's Bedchamber.
"Huh, this attribute of road idiot is really too delayed, otherwise I should take the jade pendant back to sleep at this time."
sighed so in her heart, but Ye Yuhong's body did not dare to relax in the slightest.
And since everything around is covered in night, the eyes naturally don't play a big role. But these did not have much impact on Ye Yuhong.
"Hehe, it's good that my nose is smarter. Even on moonless nights, you can come and go freely in the palace. ”
Ye Yuhong was very proud, and when her body changed, she had quietly entered the palace in front of her.
There was no one in the huge room. It's cold and silent, and it's a little scary.
"After I got the jade pendant, I still quickly slipped away, the atmosphere here is too permeating. I always feel that if I stay for a long time, something bad will happen. ”
While her thoughts were rolling, Ye Yuhong fell her eyes on a large shelf in front of her. Many drawers are neatly arranged, no different from what Ye Lige described.
"Things must be here, yes, but with so many drawers, I have to find them one by one?"
Ye Yuhong only felt that her head was big several times, but it had come to this point, and she could only go to find it.
When gently flipping through the drawer, Ye Yuhong kept praying in her heart. I hope I can get lucky and quickly find the jade pendant described by Ye Lige.
It's just that Pian Pian backfired, and she rummaged through more than a dozen drawers to no avail.
"Haven't I been in water lately, why are two things so unsmooth...... If I can't get the jade pendant, my little life will be over. ”
Thinking of this, Ye Yuhong was a little deflated. The hand inadvertently scraped the shelf next to it, and the sleeve just brought a box down.
There was a crisp sound of '......pop', and the sandalwood box opened in response, and the contents slipped quietly.
Ye Yuhong was frightened by this sound, and after looking around, she found that no one was finally relieved. But her heart still hangs.
When she picked up the box, she finally saw the contents of the box clearly by the moonlight, which was a crystal clear jade pendant.
A very ordinary style with a few patterns painted on it. At the bottom, the word 'forest' is neatly engraved.
"It's really the road to the sky, I'm still very lucky." Ye Yuhong was a little proud, "I rummaged through so many drawers, I didn't expect the jade pendant to be placed outside so casually." ”
In addition to being happy, Ye Yuhong didn't dare to be sloppy in doing things.
She took out an inconspicuous jade pendant from the drawer she had rummaged through, placed it in the box, and put it back in its place.
After doing all this, Ye Yuhong was ready to slip away. But before he could turn around, a strange smell wafted from a distance.
Although it is not pungent, for someone like her, who is sensitive to smell, it is enough to make her feel like a great enemy.
"You can't be mistaken, this smell is exactly the same as the two maidservants I met outside the dormitory just now. It's broken, it's broken, why is someone coming here? ”
Ye Yuhong was a little flustered in her heart, and when she was in a hurry, she caught a glimpse of the cabinet in the corner. There is a large vase on the left and right, making it a great place to hide.
Time was tight, and she didn't have much time to think. As he hurriedly dodged over, he quietly squatted down.
Here, Ye Yuhong had just disappeared, and the door of the dormitory was pushed open.
'Squeak......' two maidservants in palace clothes entered in response. In their hands, they carried baskets full of charcoal fires.
The green-clothed palace maid gasped, "I didn't expect that in just a moment after we left, the temperature in the dormitory would drop down a lot." ”
"Fortunately, I came back in time and had time to burn the charcoals. If we come in behind the queen, we'll all have to lose our heads! ”
Speaking of this, the purple-clothed palace maid trembled in fear.
After chatting for a few words, the two palace maids who came in began to work. Divide five by two, and light all the charcoal braziers in the dormitory.
In an instant, the dormitory is filled with endless warmth, making people feel more comfortable.
"The queen should be back soon, let's hurry back."
"Well, it's not good to run into it late."
