Chapter Thirty-Eight: Exploring the Palace at Night

The black clothes snorted by, flying on the roof of the city house, and the figure spread extremely fast, so fast that the guards guarding the city did not notice that someone was walking in front of them, when the evening breeze glanced by.

The prince recently got married, the palace was cautious and cautious everywhere, there were several times more people patrolling than usual, Shan Liye avoided the guards and roamed around the palace, the fire lingzhi did not enter the treasury, but entered the pharmacy, I heard that the emperor wanted to use the fire lingzhi as the introduction of medicine, what pill to make.

Shan Liye was originally going to look for Fire Lingzhi, but when she passed by a temple, she was suddenly stunned, and she couldn't help but land in the hospital.

This is probably the first place she came to this plane!

She remembered being ignorant and daring to break in.

The handkerchief......

The magnificent palace in front of her, the word green leaf is the name of the palace, and Shan Liye only feels that there seems to be some magic in it, which makes her involuntarily want to explore something.

The hall in the hall was empty, with a few pillars of wood standing, as well as the usual tables, chairs, and wooden cabinets, and nothing else, and the slightest footsteps could be heard.

Aoba Hall seems to be a cold palace, uninhabited.

She turned to the inner bed, but there were a lot of things in the inner room, like a women's boudoir, Shan Liye stared at the mirror on the dresser, touched the makeup box, and did not get dust on her hands.

It didn't look like it was inhabited, but it looked like someone was cleaning, and all kinds of things were clean and not stained with dust, she looked around, but she didn't see the sign of Manroland, she walked to the bed, stood still for a while, pondered for a long time, and was about to leave, when she suddenly felt something unusual under her feet.

She stepped on it slightly, and finally attached herself and knocked it, which was hollow underneath.

A thought arises, it's a dark room!

The things in the room rummaged carefully, and the things she touched seemed to be untouched and put back by her, she groped around the bed, and her hand unexpectedly touched something on the bed, only to hear a sound, the mechanism touched, and the ground half a meter away from the bed tilted, breaking the entrance.

With a slight crossing, the figure flashed into the dark underground chamber.

The road to the secret room was long, and the road branched off one after another, and by the thin light in her hand, she could vaguely discern the direction.

The candle flame in her hand suddenly went out, but it was extinguished because of her palm wind, Shan Liye was cold for a moment, her body was close to the wall, holding her breath, listening to the movement over there.

Someone's coming!

Footsteps, footsteps too light.

If she hadn't listened carefully, such a close person, such a light footstep, maybe she would have ignored the past, maybe she would have met that person unexpectedly.

The footsteps stopped, and Shan Liye knew that the man was hesitating, because in front of the person, there were several forks in the road, and she was hiding behind a fork, if the person chose her to come this way, it would only be a blade to meet.

And Shan Liye didn't know that the person had already noticed her existence, and his footsteps were raised, but he was heading towards the road next to her.

Shan Liye turned around and jumped lightly, following the man's pace, she didn't know the mechanism of the Aoba Palace, but with her seventh sense, she would not be wrong to follow that person.

Along the way, there was really no organ raid, safely stepping on every inch of the ground, no lights illuminated, but the secret room was as bright as day, if you want to blame, there are too many night pearls embedded in it, and no less than hundreds of them can't build such a project.

The man knew that she was following, so he let her lead the way, without half stopping or being vigilant, in front of her.

Shan Liye passed the bend of the road, and the shadow that followed was gone, and what caught her eye was a small hole.

The cave is simple and simple, the endgame of black and white chess pieces, the war chess that has been played to the halfway, a thick stack of letters, many paintings hanging on the wall, landscapes, birds and fish, birds and beasts, and there are also portraits, but the woman in the portrait has been covering her face and cannot be explored.

Shan Li walked to the desk at night, and slowly picked up a yellowed piece of paper on the table, on the paper, Liao Mad's strokes only drew one word, she took the other ones, the ink was dry and wet, as if someone often came to write, and there was only one word on the paper - leaf.

The leaves of the Aoba Temple?

Suddenly, there was a panicked footstep above the top of the cave, densely heard, gradually entering the cave from an unknown direction, and into her ears.

Shan Liye frowned slightly.

There are a lot of people coming!

After a long while, with the cessation of her footsteps, a bright yellow carved line of sight fell into her eyes, and the bright yellow figure straightened his panicked clothes and stepped into the cave.

And Shan Liye hid in the protrusion of the stone wall above, clinging to the stone wall like a gecko, she was dressed in black, blending with the darkness, and the raised stone wall was enough to block her body.

Although there are emperors in the four countries, but in the whole world, except for the emperor and the crown prince, no one dares to wear bright yellow clothes, and the man in front of him has a young and handsome face, and the majestic momentum that should be in the palace is vividly portrayed in the corner of his eyes.

This man is the prince, the lord to whom her brother is allegiated.

- Prince Xiyan.

The prince calmly checked all the things in the cave, and was sure that nothing was lost, so he was slightly relieved, and after a while, the prince's gaze suddenly fell on the light veil in front of him.

To be precise, it is a painting that is covered by a thick light veil, and it is so left to be placed there independently, as if it is rare, unlike other paintings, it is treasured and guarded.

The prince's every move was seen by Shan Liye, and the prince had already begun to move there, if his eyes were a little sharper, behind the painting, it was the man in black who she had been following just now.

The hand of the man in black has wrapped the dagger around his waist, and her hand is holding a silver needle, if that person is discovered by the prince, it will definitely be detrimental to the prince, and she just wants to simply stop everything.

As long as the prince goes forward, as long as he takes another step forward, that person will be completely exposed in front of the prince's eyes, and Shan Liye's eyes are staring at that step.

If you take it one step further......

The hand holding the silver needle relaxed, and the hand wrapped around the dagger let go, but the two people who had no intersection breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, staring at the bright yellow shadow.

The prince flicked his sleeves slightly, turned around and left the secret cave.

As soon as the prince left, the man gradually retired behind the painting and disappeared.

Between the ups and downs, Shan Liye had fallen in front of the painting, and she was very curious about this painting in her heart, all the portrait paintings in this cave were covered faces, and she could not detect the woman's appearance.

Only this painting ......

Shan Liye wanted to lift the light veil to see who the beauty in the painting was, but her hand moved, a bright dagger, without any sound, but it was already on the back of her head and neck.

The snowy dagger blade reflected the deep eyes behind him: "Are you here for this painting?" ”

Heavy breath, cold as frost, mixed with an uncertain tone.

It was a man's voice.

Shan Liye smiled, as if this person had asked the stupidest question in the world: "If I asked you that, would you tell me, are you here for this painting?" ”

Whether it is or not, the other party has no right to know, and no one will be stupid enough to reveal his purpose.

Letting his dagger drive, Shan Liye's hand still lifted the light veil, and followed the direction of the curtain, and when she saw the person in the painting clearly, her arm trembled slightly, and her eyes became confused.

A simple painting, a simple woman, did not cover her face, the shallow smile on the woman's face, quietly fell into her heart, suddenly, her heart seemed to inexplicably spread a painful feeling, and her heart was falling.

This painting ...... Woman in the painting......

This woman ......

How could it be......

Shan Liye could hardly believe it!

The man in black behind him withdrew his gaze from the painting, staring at her tense body after seeing the painting, and a series of reactions, the man in black calmly held back a few words: "Do you know the person in the painting?" ”

Shan Liye paused, and curled the corners of his lips: "You are very familiar with everything here, you know all the mechanism defenses, so you should be very familiar with the person in the painting, right?" ”

The man in black didn't know what she meant.

Shan Liye turned around, raised her eyes slightly, and looked up and down at the person in front of her, this person was dressed in black and masked, it was a man, except for a pair of eyes exposed, all of his body was swallowed by black, but the man's dark eyes made her feel familiar for a moment.

How could those eyes be so familiar......

It's like him......

At that call, Shan Liye's body trembled, he almost lost his mind, and he almost couldn't hold back his shout, but reason finally triumphed over excitement.

This person, definitely not him, absolutely not!

Shan Liye was dressed in a night coat and also covered her face, she suddenly reached out and took off her mask.

The two looked at each other silently.

She was not afraid of death, and dared to reveal her face in front of a stranger, and the only man in black who showed his eyes on her body was extremely surprised.

Shan Liye clearly felt that the hand holding the dagger around her neck hesitated, and it was this hesitation and trembling that she saw the opportunity, her fish-like body, away from the dagger, and the silver needle hidden in her fingertips came out, towards the palm of the man in black.

There was a clanging sound, and the two black figures turned to dodge each other's sharp weapons, and the two retreated for a long distance and slowly stood still.

And on the ground between the two of them, there is a dagger and three silver needles.

She didn't hurt his hand, but for self-protection, she forced him to let go of the weapon in his hand.

The man in black was shocked by her appearance, but not by her beauty, he looked at the painting fixedly, and scanned her face.

She is exactly the same as the woman in the painting!

After a long time, the man in black understood something, and his voice spat out lightly: "No, you are not the woman in the painting." ”
