Chapter 9: Infiltrating the Palace

"Steward Wang, you are also a smart man, there are not a thousand painters in this city, but there are also eight hundred, although not all the craftsmanship is exquisite, but this copying is not a problem, but a map, not a unique one, I don't know where the confidence of the steward Wang called out the price of five hundred taels."

Xu Langyin's words were not light or heavy, and when he heard it in the ears of the king's steward, it shocked his brows, and he lost some confidence to speak.

"This ...... Yin Gongzi, you also know that this is the map of the palace, no more than other places, even if you have some numbers, I am afraid that it is useless. ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that Xu Langyin didn't speak, the king steward couldn't guess this person's thoughts, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead at this time.

"Heh, yes, Steward Wang reminded me when he said this."

Seeing Xu Lang's smile, Steward Wang was even more uneasy, and he didn't expect that this son would be even more difficult to deal with than he imagined, and if he wanted to make benefits in his hands, I was afraid it was unlikely.

"Since Steward Wang said that this map is useless, I'm afraid you can't sell it except me, Steward Wang, you have to think carefully."

"This ......"

The king steward was stagnant, and he couldn't organize the language for a long time, this Yin Gongzi said well, this palace map is also a disaster, almost no one will come to buy it, if it is really used, it will bring about death, so he is not buying it now, and he has to find a way to sell it, but this palace map is also drawn by their people with great pains, and the bottom line of this price is still there.

Just when Steward Wang was thinking about how to say it well, Xu Langyin suddenly smiled.

"Steward Wang doesn't have to be so entangled, why don't we each take a step back?"

Steward Wang was overjoyed: "How can you retreat?" ”

Xu Langyin took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and held it in his hand: "In this way, I still need ten red pyrene plants, counting together with this map, five hundred taels, how about it?" ”

"Cheng, this is the next one for the child."

Xu Langyin nodded, this red pyrene is not expensive, it is not cheap to say cheap, these ten red pyridium plus the palace map, the price of five hundred taels is also a good deal.

After a while, the little guy sent the wrapped red pyrene and the map to Xu Langyin, and Xu Langyin paid the silver taels and left the store.

was about to go home, and the afterglow suddenly swept a figure, Xu Langyin's pupils shrank, and he chased after him without saying a word.

It's him!

If Xu Langyin is not mistaken, it is the person who assassinated the emperor on the day of the banquet, and he still has her jade pendant in his hand!

Xu Langyin didn't have time to think too much, and when he saw the figure of the man walking away, he chased after him without hesitation.

After a while, after going around a few times, she found that the other party was gone, if she was correct, she was probably discovered by the other party.

Xu Langyin couldn't help frowning, and according to the restlessness in his heart, it was not a way to go on so blindly, and he had to think about it in the long run.

She looked around a few more times, then turned around and left.

And just behind the right of the position where Xu Langyin was standing before, there was a white corner of clothes faintly floating at a window, and the sunlight was gently sprinkled on it, refracting a few fragmentary points of light, jumping wantonly with the wind.

"Master, someone was following his subordinates just now."

"Yes."

It was a deep voice, like a chirp of the whistle, with a bit of indescribable taste.

"If my subordinates are not mistaken, she is the daughter of the General's Mansion."

The man sat in the dark, silent, and there seemed to be a little depression in the dull air, and the only active thing was the white corners of his clothes that danced like the wind and the sun.

General's Mansion......

When Xu Langyin returned to Jingxi Garden, he saw that Fu Jiu was bored with satin embroidery, so he beckoned her over: "Fu Jiu come here." ”

"Miss, you're back."

"Well, I'll be back with nothing to do, by the way, you go to the cellar to get the jar wine."

Fu Jiu listened, and his expression was a little tangled: "Miss, the old lady won't let you drink." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not here to drink."

"Alright then, the slave will come as she goes."

After finishing speaking, Fu Jiu trotted all the way away.

Xu Langyin went into the house and took out a piece of gauze, picked off a few red pyrene flowers, mashed them and put them in the gauze, and wrapped them in a thin rope.

After a while, Fu Jiu came back with a small jar of wine.

Xu Langyin picked up the wine jar and poured it into the teacup about half an inch high, and then arranged the yarn wrapped in red pyridium in the cup, and after completing this series of actions, Xu Langyin clapped his hands, which was considered to be done.

Fu Jiu was curious: "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Langyin raised his eyebrows and quipped with a smile: "Secret! ”

It's not that Xu Langyin can't tell Fu Jiu what she did, but after telling her, it was inevitable that there would be another bit of nagging, so it was better not to say it.

Xu Langyin took out another piece of paper, wrote a few strokes casually, then folded it and handed it to Fu Xuan: "You send someone to send this IOU to Shen Yu'an of the Shen Mansion, you must send it directly to him, do you know?" ”

"The slave knows, but miss, when does the eldest son of the Shen family owe you money?"

Xu Langyin stroked the hair hanging on his chest and said, "Well, just now." ”

Fu Jiu was puzzled, could it be that Miss went out to see Shen Dagongzi just now? However, doubts are doubts, and Fu Jiu still sent someone to send things over first.

Xu Langyin walked for a long time and his legs were a little tired, so he lay on the bed and planned to squint for a while, but he didn't expect to sleep until night.

Fu Jiu has been waiting beside him, embroidering when he has nothing to do, and has embroidered a pillowcase in the afternoon, dark green satin, with water lily dark lines, the embroidery is very exquisite and delicate.

At this time, he heard the sound of Xu Langyin getting up, so he handed her the pillowcase and took a look: "Miss, how is this flower." ”

"It's good" Xu Langyin glanced at it a few times, then straightened his clothes, put on his shoes and got out of bed: "What time is it?" ”

"It's just a moment after the unitary hour, and the young lady wants to eat?"

"Quick, I'm going to starve."

Fu Jiu put away the pillowcase and went down to prepare the meal.

When Xu Langyin sleeps, she usually wakes up naturally, she once told Fu Jiu, if it is not a big thing, don't call her to get up, this sleep has already slept past dinner time, and she was woken up by hunger at this time.

After dinner, Xu Langyin changed into his night clothes and ordered Fu Jiu to bring out the red pyrene teacup soaked in wine.

At this moment, the wine had turned red, Xu Langyin twisted the gauze-wrapped red pyrene again, squeezed out some juice, and then took out a porcelain bottle, put all of these into it, and after it was done, he stuffed the porcelain bottle into his sleeve pocket.

"Miss, what are you going to do here?" Fu Xuan was puzzled.

"Your young lady, I will go to the palace for a walk, and no one will be allowed to come in until I come back tomorrow, and if you ask, say that I am not feeling well and do not want to see guests."

"The slave knows." Fu Jiu nodded, a little worried about Xu Langyin, but in the end she didn't say anything, she should believe Miss, Miss never does things that she is not sure of.

When everything was ready, Xu Langyin secretly climbed out of the back wall in the dark.

She wanted to sneak into the palace during the day, but she had to be exposed to the sun for a long time, and her umbrella was too big, so she had no choice but to come back at night.

Xu Langyin shuttled quickly in the night sky, his body was vigorous and agile, and his black clothes seemed to melt into the darkness, leaving only the cold wind brought by the corners of his clothes.

I have to say that this map is really detailed enough, and even which courtyards in which palace are marked exactly, and the destination of Xu Langyin's trip is the residence of the ninth princess, Wanqing Palace.

After all, the ninth princess is the emperor's favorite little princess, and the Wanqing Palace is also a palace that the emperor specially ordered to open when the ninth princess was born.

Xu Langyin tiptoed to the main courtyard, and carefully peeled off the roof tiles as he did on TV.

At this moment, the ninth princess is lying on the soft couch, holding a picture book in her hand, looking at it with relish.

"Shanyu?"

"The slave is here."

"What kind of fruit is this, it's so sweet." The Ninth Princess picked up a red-skinned, lychee-like thing in the fruit bowl, but it was much larger than a lychee.

"Back to the princess, this is the fruit that the envoys of the neighboring countries paid tribute to a few days ago, if the slave remembers correctly, it is called hanging green."

"This thing is good, you can take some tomorrow and send it to Uncle Huang."

After Xu Langyin heard the word imperial uncle, he suddenly pricked up his ears, in this huge palace, I am afraid that there is only King Xun who can be called the imperial uncle.

Xu Langyin saw that the ninth princess was going to say something, and immediately focused his attention.

"Well, you can send all these to Uncle Huang, he finally came back once, and he can't say anything if he doesn't send something."

"Do you really want to send it over?"

"Is it hard or fake?"

The maid who was replaced with Shanyu was a little more entangled at the moment: "This ...... Princess, you also know that the traces of the assassin were found in King Xun's residence before, and now King Xun has not cleared the suspicion, and you are afraid that it will cause criticism if you send it over so blatantly."

"Don't be afraid, I have a better relationship with the emperor's uncle than Zhenjian." The ninth princess patted Shanyu's shoulder and said earnestly.

Burst......

Xu Langyin, who was eavesdropping in the distance, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, this ninth princess was quite open.

Later, seeing that the ninth princess said some innocuous words, Xu Langyin jumped off the roof and went around the Wanqing Palace twice.

When she came back, a maid was coming out of the yard with a washing basin, Xu Langyin immediately hid in the corner, and saw the maid approaching this side step by step, she held her breath and condensed, seized the opportunity, and stunted the girl with a knife, and then dragged her behind the rockery, picked up her clothes and put them on herself.

After dealing with it, Xu Langyin walked away in the maid's clothes, didn't take two steps and came back, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and wiped a few drops of the liquid that was originally in the sleeve pocket with the other hand, and wiped it on the left and right of the maid's nose.
