Chapter 284: Entering the Ming Palace
What Yun Ruoyan didn't expect was that she followed the man with a demonic aura in a short body, and came all the way to the gate of King Ming's Mansion.
Yun Ruoyan hid in the opposite corner of the wall, and saw that the man easily entered the mansion with the waist card to enter the mansion.
"The Ming Palace's Mansion is really a place to hide filth and dirt. Yun Ruoyan said in her heart.
Generally, there are only doormen guarding the gate of the big official's mansion, and there are only two officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the Yuwang Mansion in Limo, and there are six soldiers at the gate of the Ming Wang's Mansion, which shows that the precautions in the palace are only stricter.
For the sake of convenience, Yun Ruoyan had already abandoned the Flame Mutant at the city gate, and now she found a random inn nearby to settle down, ate something, and then recuperated.
When the night was dark, Yun Ruoyan came to the root of a remote wall in the Ming Palace, dressed in night clothes, and quietly climbed over the wall.
As soon as her feet landed, a team of seven or eight palace guards passed by, and Yun Ruoyan dodged behind a rockery.
Yun Ruoyan observed the surrounding situation and found that she had landed in the backyard of the palace, not far from where the owner of the mansion lived.
The impression of Yun Ruoyan in the Ming Wangfu was all learned from Zhuo Yifeng's mouth, but what Zhuo Yifeng said was not clear, she needed to find someone to figure out the situation in the Yun Wangfu.
So when the second team of patrolling guards passed by, Yun Ruoyan came behind the last guard with great speed and patted him on the shoulder by surprise.
As soon as the guard turned around, before the word 'who' could be spoken, Yun Ruoyan waved his hand at him at an extremely fast speed, and a colorless and tasteless ecstasy sprinkled on the man's face.
Yun Ruoyan flashed, and the whole person disappeared into the invisible as soon as the figure flickered.
"Ah Jin, what's wrong with you?" the guard in front of him stopped and asked Ah Jin, the guard who had fallen behind.
"Oh, I'm in a bit of a hurry to make it easier, you guys go first, I'll catch up with you later. "Guard Ajin Dao.
The guards left, and Ah Jin went straight to the back of the rockery, facing Yun Ruoyan in the shadows, with a dull expression.
"Where does your prince live?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
"It's in the middle of the backyard. Ah Jin pointed to the backyard, and there was a building in the backyard that was higher than other buildings in the night, and that should be the Scholar's Garden.
"Do you know where the secret files of the Ming Palace's secret files are located?" Yun Ruoyan asked again.
"I don't know. Ah Jin replied with a sluggish expression: "However, there is a forbidden place in the Scholar Garden where outsiders are not allowed to enter, and all the confidential items in the Ming Palace's Mansion are probably stored there." ”
"Good. Yun Ruoyan nodded and asked, "Then do you know that there is a doctor surnamed Zeng in the palace, who was invited by your King Ming to treat your princess's infertility." ”
"I know, he lives in a side courtyard. Ah Jin replied.
Yun Ruoyan thought about it and saw that there was nothing more to ask, so she said to the guard Ah Jin: "You go back to sleep now, and when you wake up, you forget everything that happened." ”
Ah Jin nodded with a glazed gaze, then turned to leave.
Yun Ruoyan thought about it and decided to tie up Dr. Zeng first and then go to check the secret file.
She thought that if she was accidentally discovered when she checked the secret file, it would not be difficult to escape with her cultivation, but it would not be easy to tie people up again.
Yun Ruoyan followed the route said by the guard Ah Jin, and came all the way to the side courtyard where Dr. Zeng was.
At this time, it was already late at night, and it was dark everywhere except for the two lanterns hanging on the gate of the courtyard.
Xu is because the palace is tightly guarded, the courtyard door is just closed and not plugged in, Yun Ruoyan entered the courtyard and walked to the front of the main house, she did not open the door directly to enter but knocked on the door.
Because Yun Ruoyan found that there were still women's and children's clothes on the clothesline in this courtyard, if Dr. Zeng was forcibly kidnapped, the woman and the child would be alarmed, and it would be troublesome if the movement was too big.
"Who, it's so late. With Yun Ruoyan's knock on the door, the voice of a middle-aged man came from inside the house.
"Oh, I'm sorry Dr. Zeng, but my wife suddenly had a stomachache and sent me to ask my husband to take a look. ”
Yun Ruoyan said softly: "I saw that the courtyard door was open, so I came in directly in a hurry, sir." ”
"Okay, wait a minute. The middle-aged man said, and the lights came on in the dark room.
After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man with a long beard poked his head out.
As soon as Doctor Zeng saw him, his eyes widened as soon as he saw a woman in a night suit, but in the next second, he was surrounded by colorless and tasteless ecstasy powder, and then the whole person lost his sense of self and became a puppet who only obeyed Yun Ruoyan's orders.
"Xianggong, who is it?" At this time, a woman's voice sounded in the room.
"You can give me a few pairs of medicine casually, don't let your family suspect me, and after an hour, wait for me at the rockery on the south courtyard wall, so that no one will find out." Yun Ruoyan said softly and quickly to Doctor Zeng.
Doctor Zeng nodded blankly at first, and then the whole person seemed to be suddenly normal again, and turned his head to the house in a normal tone and said: "It's a concubine of the prince, it's not a big deal, I showed her before, but she suffered some cold in winter, I'll go get some medicine, and I will get better soon after taking it with her." ”
Dr. Zeng said that according to Yun Ruoyan's request, he went into the house to get some medicine and handed it to Yun Ruoyan, Yun Ruoyan took it and put the medicine on the windowsill, and then turned to leave.
Yun Ruoyan left the side courtyard and walked directly towards the tallest small building in the backyard, Shuxiang Garden.
It was only half a mile away on this way, and Yun Ruoyan encountered five or six teams of guards, which made Yun Ruoyan slightly surprised.
No matter how bad Lisheng's impression of Yun Ruoyan is, and how unworthy of his name, he still has the title of a virtuous king in the territory to which he belongs, and even in the entire country.
Lisheng is also quite loved by the people, there should be no assassination, how can he make himself like a frightened bird.
Could it be that he is to prevent the monster who digs out his heart, but there are monsters hidden in the Ming Wang's Mansion, where can there be a fear of monsters.
Yun Ruoyan easily dodged all the guards and then climbed over the wall to enter the Scholar Garden, as soon as her feet landed, she dodged, flashed into the shade of the trees on the side, and then observed the entire Scholar Garden.
To Yun Ruoyan's surprise, there was no shadow of a guard in the Scholar Garden, and the entire palace turned out to be a kind of defense that was tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
Yun Ruoyan did not relax in the slightest, and there were two reasons why the Ming Palace's defense was tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
One is that there are too many secrets in this scholarly garden, just like the guard Ah Jin said, outsiders are not allowed to enter, even the guards are not allowed to enter.
The second is that there is a master hidden protection in this scholar's garden, so there is no need for other guards.
Thinking of the second point, Yun Ruoyan became more cautious.
Except for the lanterns under the porch, almost all the lights were turned off, and only one room above the second floor of the tallest small building was still lit.
Yun Ruoyan bowed her waist and walked carefully to the side of the small building, taking advantage of the night and the heavy shadow of the small building, Yun Ruoyan went up to the second floor of the small building as light as a swallow.
As soon as Yun Ruoyan arrived on the second floor, she heard the sound of people talking from the lit hut, and Yun Ruoyan came to the window of the room.
"Lord Wang, this is the small snack that I just prepared for you today, and it is still fresh. Yun Ruoyan heard a young man's voice say.
"Okay, hard work. Then I remembered a middle-aged man's voice.
The middle-aged man's voice was recognized by Yun Ruoyan, who was the Ming King Lisheng who had a two-sided relationship before.
"Look, Lord Wang, these three are the hearts of girls under the age of sixteen, and the taste is definitely the best. The young man's laughter was wicked.
As soon as Yun Ruoyan heard the word heart, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
"It turns out that the culprit who digs out the heart is none other than Ming Wang Lisheng, the manager of this Wucheng. Yun Ruoyan couldn't help but be shocked in her heart.
She slowly straightened up, carefully poked a hole in the window paper with her fingers near the edge of the window, and peered through the small hole into the room.
Yun Ruoyan saw only two people in the house, one was Ming Wang Lisheng, and the other was a young man.
The man was dressed in a short fight, and it was the young man with a demonic aura who was followed all the way to the Ming Palace by Yun Ruoyan in the morning.
"Be careful with your movements, don't be caught by the cultivators in the city, if you are caught, this king will not be able to save you. ”
As he spoke, Li Sheng turned his gaze to a mahogany box on the small sandalwood table in front of him, which contained the so-called snacks in the mouths of the two people.
"The prince can rest assured that the small action is not only digging the hearts of young girls, in order to confuse the public, the small ones also dig the hearts of some old people and children. ”
The young man with a demonic spirit said: "The wind in the city has been a little tight these days, and today's snacks are obtained by the small ones outside the city, and the small ones will never be caught, and even if they are caught, they will never give you out." Besides, even if the little one confesses you, the people won't believe it, and now you are a virtuous king loved by everyone!"
"That's right. Lisheng seemed to be very useful to what the young man had said, and laughed under his breath.
"If the prince has no other instructions, the little one will leave, and the little one will be full of spirit to prepare more snacks for the prince. ”
"Go ahead. Lisheng waved at the young man.
Yun Ruoyan originally thought that after waiting for this demonic young man to leave, he quietly entered the house and tied up Lisheng, and then forced him to ask where the secret file was hidden, and then killed him to eliminate harm for the people.
However, not long after the young man left, Lisheng stood up with the box containing the girl's heart in his hand, and walked to a corner of the house.
There was an inconspicuous flower pot around the corner, and the flowers and plants in the pot were even more inconspicuous.
Li Sheng squatted down and reached out to gently turn the inconspicuous flower pot, and a wall behind the flower pot suddenly opened automatically.
After a creaking sound, there was already a gap in the wall the size of a door, which was actually the entrance to a secret room.
Li Sheng stood up and walked through the small door.
When Lisheng's figure disappeared into the entrance of the secret room, she pushed open the window and jumped into the room, and then followed into the small door without hesitation.
