Chapter 263: Face Saint
Si Nan hid in the corner, quietly observing the man, he was dressed in a gorgeous costume, a dark black brocade suit, and his slightly emaciated face made his silhouette sharper and more obvious, even if there was no expression on his face, it made people look a little scared.
The palace maid kneeling on the ground trembled, and kept begging for mercy: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid did not mean it, please forgive me!" ”
He dusted off the corners of his dirty clothes, and didn't look at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground, but said, "Forget it, you guys get up." Then he walked away.
The two palace maids dared to get up after seeing the prince go away, and the two with pale faces looked at each other and hurriedly left.
Si Nan didn't dare to come out until there was no one around, she hooked her lips and smiled, looked in the direction where the prince was walking, and she also walked away.
It was a bamboo forest, because the country of water stood near the sea, it was early winter in this season, and the country of water was not so cold, the bamboo leaves fluttered with the wind, making a rustling sound, the cool breeze swept over Sinan's thin face, and the moonlight poured down from the gaps in the bamboo leaves, illuminating her black eyes more dazzling like jewels, deep and unforgettable.
"I don't know when there will be such a beauty in the land of water, and no one will tell this king."
Sinan was walking on the palace road, and there was a voice behind him, low but not magnetic, it was a very nice voice.
I rubbed it, was found out?!
Sinan was a little surprised, she didn't notice that there was someone else's breath around here just now, what was going on with this person.
Even if she didn't look back, she knew that this person must be the prince just now, and after the panic, Sinan immediately calmed down and couldn't mess with herself.
She turned around slowly, bent her eyebrows towards the man behind her, and said softly, "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever heard that it is extremely impolite to follow a woman at night?" ”
"Nocturnal tailgating?" He smiled and raised his eyebrows, and the man stared at her, straight to the ground, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more playful, "Then has this girl ever heard that trespassing into the palace is a big crime to be killed?" ”
Oh, don't suffer a loss.
Sinan knew that she was discovered, and she was at a loss in her heart, so she finally tried her best to sneak in, but now it was all because this troubled man was in vain, she was in a very bad mood, but even so, Sinan still maintained the smile on her face just now, and her voice became softer and softer: "It's a bit too much to say that it is an affair, I am a distinguished guest in the palace, I can't sleep at night, I want to come out for a walk, I am really embarrassed to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Sinan smiled slightly, and clenched his fists with both hands: "Farewell!" ”
"Wait!" Sinan was just about to leave, but he stopped him, "I don't care what you came here for, but I didn't see it." ”
Sinan paused, and when he turned back, the man behind him had already walked in the opposite direction, gradually blending into the night, and didn't care about her at all.
This man...... Are you the prince of the land of water?! It doesn't matter if he empties his house?!
Sinan looked at the back of this person, and then thought about what he said just now, it didn't feel like a lie, but she still found a place to hide for a long time, and only came out after confirming that no one would come.
The night is a little deeper, and if you don't hurry up, you really won't have a chance.
Thinking of this, Sinan walked directly to the depths of the bamboo forest, but she didn't know that someone came out of the dark corner behind her after she left, and that person was the prince just now.
As expected, behind the bamboo forest is a study room that is not very popular, only a few palace people are guarded, Xu is thinking that no one will come at this time, and there are so many guards in front of him, nothing can happen in the depths of this palace, and those palace people are drowsy.
Sinan was light and easily touched the study.
The study was cleaned very cleanly, even if there was no one at this moment, there were still a few palace lamps in the house, this was a small three-story attic, Sinan didn't have time to look at it, so he could only walk around on the first floor.
There are a lot of bookshelves in the hall on the first floor, and all kinds of books are placed on the shelves, including pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and each bookshelf and the corridor between the shelves are written what kind of books are written, which is somewhat similar to a modern library.
Sinan shuttled between these bookshelves, looking at these classified books, there were all kinds of poetry and scriptures, as well as all kinds of cultivation books, and even some books about medical skills.
Nothing else, but the ones about medicine made her very surprised, because many of those books were even out of print, and she had searched all the tantras but couldn't find them, but she didn't expect to meet her here.
Sinan smiled, didn't she tell her to be casual, okay, then casual, so she didn't want to kick things into the space directly, and no one knew anyway.
One is the production of various poisons, the other is a unique book of various incurable diseases, and there is a booklet that records all kinds of strange medicinal materials.
I wanted to investigate where the place where the pill was refined, but I didn't expect to find the place, but I found this, which is really strange.
When the things were in hand, Sinan was not in a hurry to do anything else, so he walked around casually on the first floor.
Passing through the entire bookshelves, the innermost part is a place similar to a study, on a large sandalwood table are the delicate four treasures of the study, the black gold inkstone, the white rice paper, the fine brush, and the ink, Si Nan looked into it again, and there was still a picture on the desktop.
It can't be a painting, but it should be a drawing, and it should be a picture with various buildings and routes between them, but ...... Why is this layout so familiar to Si Nan?
She felt more and more that something was wrong, and when she picked it up and looked at it, she found that it was actually the layout of the palace of the Water Country!!
Although she has only walked through it once, Sinan has a good sense of direction, and she has specially trained in this area before entering the army, so she can be sure that this map is the layout of the palace of the country of water!
She picked up the map, and soon found the study where she was now, and next to this study was marked the bedchamber of the Empress and the Emperor.
For a while, she didn't know if it was true or not, and who would draw a map of the palace to play when she was idle.
Just as he was hesitating, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I heard that someone just bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside the bamboo forest, everyone be careful, in case he sees that we are not good at night, and we are lazy to sleep here, we will all be scolded, wake up quickly!"
"It's really fake, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't stay in the East Palace in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"
"Is this what you should ask, hurry up and get to work, it's almost dawn!"
Sinan looked at the sky outside the window that was gradually white, the time was indeed not early, thinking of this, she didn't care about anything else, she directly grabbed the map at hand and put it in her pocket, found a window with few people and turned it out.
……
When he got up early in the morning, Si Zihuai softened his eyes, got up from the bed, looked at Si Nan, who was sitting at the table with two big black circles under his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Mother, why did you get up so early today, did you not sleep well last night?" How do I feel like you're weird? ”
In the past, he got up before Sinan, why did his mother get up so early today.
Sinan stared at the map on the table, Si Zihuai woke up not long after she came back, although she didn't sleep all night, but Sinan was not sleepy.
She always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and she got the topographic map of the Water Country Palace so easily, as if it was ...... Too easy?
And that strange prince, I don't know what's wrong, since she came back, the scene of seeing that man has been echoing in Sinan's mind, how she thinks it's strange.
"Mother? Mother! ”
"Huh?" Si Zihuai screamed several times, and only then did Sinan suddenly turn around, look at him and ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mother, what's wrong with you, why are you so unrelenting?" Si Zihuai got down from the bed, walked up to Sinan, and asked, "Did something happen?" ”
Sinan just wanted to say no, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Miss Sinan, I'm sorry to disturb, the emperor wants to see you after grooming to express your kindness for saving the princess."
Said Cao Cao is here.
Sinan answered, turned around and led Si Zihuai to wash, compared to the map in her hand, what she would have to face in a while was a big deal.
Sinan and Si Zihuai washed up, called Deng Junqi again, and the three of them entered the side hall of the palace together, waiting for the saint.
I have to say that this rich big country is different, a small side hall is worth the main hall of the beam, the three of them are waiting in the hall, and after a while, they see a cough behind the screen of the upper seat.
"Ahem, ahem!"
"I'm sorry, I just got off the court, and I'm late."
As soon as the voice fell, I saw the person behind the screen come out, but when I saw this person, the three of them were stunned.
This...... This man is the emperor of the land of water, which is too unbelievable.
I didn't see it, although I was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, it was dressed as a pair of pajamas, there was no formal court dress, and there was no extra decoration on my head, only a men's special hairpin was inserted, and it was a little messy.
The emperor yawned tiredly, sat on the chair, raised his eyes and looked lazily at the three people below, and smiled amiably: "Which of you is the one who saved Yiyu?" ”
The three of them were surprised, including Deng Junqi, who is a person from the country of water, although she is the daughter of the prime minister, but at the banquet held by the royal family every year, as a concubine, she naturally has no chance to see it, so she doesn't know that the emperor of her country is like this.
Sinan took the initiative to respond, "Back to the emperor, it's me." ”
"Oh, it's you, I think it's too, that Lu Ping said that the one who saved the princess was a peerless beauty, and now it seems to be the case, but it's a pity, if you are still married, I really want to give your family to my prince, hahaha!"
Sinan: "......"
This emperor is particularly poisonous, is this still the appearance of the emperor, how dare he say anything.
She felt that she must have opened it in the wrong way, and she was also the emperor of one of the six great powers!
"I heard Lu Ping say, you want to reward silver?" The emperor smiled, he looked at Si Nan, although his face was careless, but Si Nan always felt that his eyes seemed to be able to see people's hearts.
