Chapter 151: The Storm in the Palace (19)
Lin Wanwan stepped on the chaotic jade, quietly sneaking on the heavy eaves, she had carefully observed the patrol routes of these forbidden troops before, trying to avoid their sight, although it was not easy, but if she was hiding in a high place in a night suit, as long as she was cautious, it was not too difficult.
Her eyes couldn't help but fall on her cuffs, this night robe was specially made by Tianshu Pavilion, with a soft sword hidden in the belt, and six sleeve pockets sewn on the cuffs, and six quenched secret weapons were placed inside, which could be used to help her get out of danger at critical moments.
Su Jin really knew her, whether he knew the true purpose of entering the palace or not, he could see that she should have other intentions when she entered the palace with just one sentence, and specially asked Ziyu to send night clothes and condensing pills, and he didn't mean to stop her at all.
He didn't ask anything, was he too confident in her or too indulgent in her? Does he even know what he's doing? If she makes a wrong step in the palace, she will put him and Xuanjilou in a place of no return, and his hard work over the years will be in vain.
Lin Wanwan sighed faintly, and inadvertently, she remembered the way the man was strategizing, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile lightly, which was quite helpless.
She avoided several groups of forbidden troops with great caution, followed the direction in her memory, and finally found the palace gate that Yun Chun pointed to.
- "After this door, there is a verandah and the imperial dining room, and a few more passages from the imperial dining room is the purchasing division." ”
Yun Chun's words sounded in her mind, Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked for it in the direction of the purchasing division.
Speaking of which, I really have to thank Yunchun for this girl, if she didn't guide her way, this huge palace, I am afraid that I may not be able to find where the purchasing division is located even if I look for a day and a night.
Although Yunchun is not a clever girl, she is simple and honest, and she is very talented in poetry, Lin Wanwan feels that such a girl really shouldn't be buried in the deep palace, and after she leaves the palace, she must send some books to Yunchun.
Lin Wanwan thought like this, her footsteps swept lightly, a few flying leaps, and easily crossed the eaves of the zigzag verandah, not long after, the two vermilion lacquer doors in the wind and snow were faintly visible, and when she got closer, the three-word plaque of "Purchasing Division" clearly came into her eyes.
She cautiously looked around and saw that there didn't seem to be a Janissary patrolling place, so she jumped off the eaves and landed deftly in the backyard.
As soon as I landed, I saw that in the seven or eight rooms in the backyard, there was no light, only a few dim palace lamps under the eaves of the corridor were swaying in the whistling wind and snow, and the whole courtyard seemed extremely quiet, faintly revealing a trace of unusual atmosphere.
Lin Wanwan's heart suddenly rose a strange feeling, she patrolled along the eaves corridor for a week, and found that only one of the doors was hidden, and the doors of the rest of the rooms seemed to be locked from the inside, but when she probed with internal force, she unexpectedly found that there was no one in these rooms at all, to be exact, there was no trace of the breath of living creatures.
Lin Wanwan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a solemn color gradually appeared at the bottom of her eyes, this purchasing company was full of an indescribable weirdness, so that she couldn't tell whether she was a hunter or a prey for a while.
She thought for a moment, then turned back to the hidden door, gently opened a crack in the door, and looked in, it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she faintly smelled a faint smell of blood.
Lin Wanwan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought.
It seems that tonight in this palace is indeed not very peaceful, and regardless of whether the people in this house are dead or alive, what makes her wonder is that if someone commits murder, then how can there be no movement in this backyard at all? And who will attack a few eunuchs of the purchasing division in the middle of the night? The only possibility is that this dark chess piece accidentally revealed his identity and let Emperor Dehui be executed, but even so, this courtyard should not be so quiet. But if it weren't for Emperor Dehui, then besides her, who else would know the true identity of Gonggong Lu?
Now it seems that the key to solving these mysteries is likely to be in this room, but among the many rooms here, only this one has an unlocked door, which looks more like a trap deliberately used to lure the enemy deeper, should she take the risk?
Lin Wanwan quickly calculated in her heart, and finally took out the fire fold, leaned sideways, and poked in through the crack in the door.
As the saying goes: If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?
The purpose of her entering the palace is to solve Xijing's secret chess, if he is dead, it will be fine, but if he is still alive, then she can only hand over this matter to Su Jin to deal with after she leaves the palace. If she can't even solve a secret chess piece this time, then what qualifications does she have in the future to say that she can be alone in front of Su Jin?
She knew that even if she didn't come tonight, as long as she gave this dark chess piece to Su Jin, she would definitely be able to easily solve him with Su Jin's ability, but she just didn't want to do it. She doesn't want Su Jin to look down on herself, and she doesn't want him to treat herself as the little girl in the past, she wants him to clean up the aftermath for herself, she has been trying hard to prove to him that she is not a burden to him, and she has never been one of those flowers and branches that can not be damaged by wind and rain, she can also become a comrade-in-arms who is side by side with him and trusts her in life and death.
Lin Wanwan took a deep breath, suppressed her ethereal thoughts, firmly held the soft sword at her waist with her right hand, and slowly leaned forward cautiously.
This room was not big, and it didn't take long for her to come to an end, but in the whole room, except for the increasingly thick blood in the air, there was nothing unusual, not even a single corpse.
Lin Wanwan frowned, constantly looking at the house.
Wrong...... She always felt that something was wrong......
Suddenly, she stared towards a cabinet, and a cold light burst out from the bottom of her eyes.
Lin Wanwan stepped forward quickly, bent her index finger and knocked on the wall behind the cabinet, her red lips hooked slightly.
Behind this wall, there is indeed a cave.
She picked up and put down the objects placed on the cabinet one by one, and finally found a fixed object, and her fingers immediately twisted hard, only to hear a "boom", the whole cabinet and the wall instantly moved a gap, and suddenly, a bright light came out of it.
As soon as Lin Wanwan entered, a strong smell of blood came to his face, and then he heard a slight gasp.
The secret room was cramped, with only one bookshelf filled with bamboo tubes with labels on them.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the man sitting in the corner, dressed as a eunuch, his face was pale and gray, cold sweat was constantly dripping, a dagger was stuck in his abdomen, and the gurgling blood soaked the clothes around him into black and brown.
