Chapter 223: Heart Protector Pill
Yi Yan held the oil lamp to bypass the layers of obstacles, and went straight to the secret room in the deepest part of the warehouse and stood still.
There are three large locks hanging on the door, which shows the importance and particularity of this place.
In the entire Mengdan Building, there is and only Su Qi has the key to enter and exit the secret room.
Yi Yan swallowed his saliva and took out the hidden knife from his belt. He reached out, only to find that his hand holding the knife was trembling.
Stealing the Heart Protecting Pill, once the East Window incident happened, he was afraid that he would be expelled from the division immediately. But as long as he thought of Bai Feiyao's coquettish appearance crying in his arms, Yi Yan's trembling hand gradually stabilized.
Such a woman, even if she knows that she is falling into the abyss, she can't help but want to hold her up.
……
The night was thick, and Xie Yuxi walked out of the room with a strong smell of medicine, only to feel that the whole person was top-heavy.
A few days ago, Su Qi threw a man's coat to him, and asked him to analyze what ingredients were in the medicinal powder contaminated on it, and the matter must be kept strictly confidential.
In order to study this matter, Xie Yuxi has not gone out for many days, and even the daily meal is sent to the door of the room.
I finally had a breakthrough tonight, and I was in the mood to come out and relax.
When I passed by the courtyard, I saw that the light was still on in the storeroom. Xie Yuxi looked up at the sky, and went to check with doubt.
"Big brother!"
The guard in charge of guarding the warehouse on duty saw his arrival and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Why is there still a light in the storeroom?"
The storehouse is full of precious medicinal materials, and it stands to reason that as long as no one is inside, no fire is allowed to be left.
The guard hurriedly explained, "It's Senior Brother Yi inside." ”
"Eleven?" Xie Yuxi was even more puzzled, "It's so late, why is he still in the warehouse?" ”
"Senior Brother Yi came to find medicinal materials, as if he was developing some new medicine."
Thinking of Yi Yan's talent and diligence, Xie Yuxi hooked the corners of his lips with relief.
"Wait for him to come out later, and remind him to rest early on my behalf."
"Yes."
Xie Yuxi was about to turn around when he left these words, but his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the roster on the table. Just before Yi Yan's latest name, a cloud of ink was abruptly scribbled.
"What's going on? The roster can't be altered, don't you know? ”
The guard only felt wronged, "Senior brother misunderstood, how dare we forget the rules of the roster, but the person who left his name did not enter the treasury in the end, so it was erased." ”
"Who is it?"
The guard hesitated for a moment before he truthfully explained: "Yes, it's a holy woman." ”
"The Seventh Princess?"
"Exactly."
Xie Yuxi suddenly became alert, "When did she come to Mengdan Tower, why didn't anyone inform me?" ”
"The holy woman suddenly visited this evening, saying that the Queen Mother had recently suffered from a head illness, and she wanted to take some medicinal oil to soothe menstruation and invigorate blood and bring it into the palace tomorrow.
But Divine Doctor Su clearly ordered last time that only serious disciples could take medicine. Although the saint has the title of the Queen Mother, it does not meet the regulations.
When the saint learned of this, she was so angry that she erased her name. ”
Xie Yuxi bowed, "You did the right thing, except for the disciples of the master's serious inheritance, no one is allowed to approach the treasury." ”
As he was talking, Yi Yan's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"You said that Bai Feiyao came in the evening, so what else did she do besides wanting to enter the warehouse?"
The guard was stunned when asked, "I don't know about this, but every time the holy woman comes to Meng Danlou, she will talk to Senior Brother Yi." ”
Xie Yuxi frowned and looked at the warehouse, the lights and shadows inside flickered on and off, but it made people feel panicked for no reason.
"How long has Eleven been in?"
The guard was stunned, "Yes, Senior Brother Yi has been in for almost half an hour, why have you stayed for so long?" And I didn't hear him rummaging through the herbs much outside. ”
Xie Yuxi's face was instantaneous, and he immediately ordered.
"Open the door!"
The guard was depressed by his eager and stern look, and in a panic he pulled out the key.
What is puzzling is that when the door of the warehouse is opened, the original light in the room is gone. And when he looked up, he didn't see Yi Yan's figure.
"Strange, what about Senior Brother Yi? There were lights just now, huh? ”
The guard's heart throbbed, and a faint sense of foreboding was born.
"Great, Senior Brother, you just saw that the handwriting on the register is indeed Senior Brother Yi's handwriting, I can't be a ghost, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Xie Yuxi stopped the other party's nonsense sharply, the words must have been written by Yi Yan himself, and after being a senior brother for more than ten years, he would never admit his mistake. Besides, he was attracted because he saw the light coming out of the storeroom.
The guard was tall, but he was a timid man. Seeing that such a big living person as Yi Yan disappeared under his nose, he couldn't help but be furious.
Xie Yuxi shook his head helplessly and personally took the oil lamp from the other party's hand.
"If you are afraid, wait here, and never let anyone else come near." With these words, he walked into the depths of the storehouse with a faint light.
Xie Yuxi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he believes that people's hearts are more unpredictable than ghosts and gods.
Yi Yan couldn't be found in the huge warehouse, which could only show one problem, the other party either put out the candle flame as a thief, or moved to a place where he couldn't see.
Xie Yuxi walked step by step to the depths of the warehouse, and just as he was about to approach the secret room, Yi Yan, who had disappeared, suddenly broke into view.
"Senior brother?"
Xie Yuxi paused in his footsteps and raised the oil lamp in his hand a little higher, only then did he see that the man behind the wooden frame was Yi Yan.
"It's so late, why did Senior Brother come here?"
"I want to ask you, what do you come to the storehouse to find when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Yi Yan spread his hands apologetically and lit the oil lamp that had been extinguished.
"I've been developing new drugs these days, and I suddenly thought that I could add a variety of medicinal materials, so I rushed over to look for it. Who knew that this medicine was so hard to find, and the lights were extinguished. ”
Yi Yan secretly swallowed his saliva after speaking, and was ready in his heart, as long as Xie Yuxi asked him what kind of medicine he was looking for, he would take the opportunity to say the answer he had come up with.
However, Xie Yuxi looked at him for a moment by the faint candlelight, and asked a question that was not related.
"The holy woman came to Meng Dan Building today, has she looked for you?"
"Fei, Feiyao?" Suddenly hearing Bai Feiyao's title, Yi Yan instinctively began to get nervous, "No." ”
"But the medicine lady on duty today said that the holy woman came to look for you on a special trip."
Yi Yan clenched his fists, and his palms were full of cold sweat.
"It seems that she has come to look for her, but she only said a few words and left. I was so busy boiling medicine that I didn't pay much attention to it. ”
Xie Yuxi looked at him deeply and silently took back the oil lamp.
"yes, that's good. There is a difference between men and women, although she is a saint, she is the seventh princess, and she should not have anything to do with us. Now that she's gone, I'll go sit in your room and see what new medicine you've developed. ”
"No!!"
