Chapter 41: Map of the Palace
At night, the Shen Mansion is always quiet, but the Dark Fragrance House is even quieter, this small remote courtyard seems to be separated, and even the light in the lantern is dim.
A dark shadow flickered by, and the previously closed window had cracked, blowing in a chill that broke the silence of the room.
The dim moonlight shone into the room through the window, and the dagger on Yan Qinghan's neck reflected a cold knife light, which shot straight into people's hearts.
"I don't know why His Royal Highness King Ling visited late at night?" Shen Yanshu raised his eyes, his eyes as sharp as sword light looked at Yan Qinghan, and asked indifferently.
Yan Qinghan glanced at the dagger in her hand, and a smile curled up at the corner of her lips: "You are alert." ”
With his skills, he walked freely in the palace, and there were not many people who could find him, and he could feel that Shen Yanshu was now more neat than she was in the alley.
"His Royal Highness King Ling should answer my question seriously, if the little woman's hand is accidentally shaken, how can this sharp dagger cut your throat. Shen Yanshu said.
The distance between the two was very close, Yan Qinghan could still smell the faint fragrance of flowers on her body, and he looked at the extremely calm woman in front of him, wearing pure white profane trousers, and her long hair fell down to her waist, which was beautiful.
Shen Yanshu noticed that he had been staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, so he pushed the dagger forward harder, and said angrily: "Look at it again, be careful I gouge out your eyeballs!
A faint trace of blood had appeared on Yan Qinghan's neck, but the expression on his face remained the same: "Of course it's curiosity, Miss Shen San is not the same as rumored." ”
"Curious?Curious???
Yan Qinghan smiled: "You are not an ordinary woman. ”
"You snatched my sword last time, and this time you broke into my room in the middle of the night, what do you want to do?" Shen Yanshu didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, "It's okay if you don't say it, don't blame your subordinates for being ruthless." ”
"Murdering the royal family is a great crime for the Nine Clans. Yan Qinghan was not afraid.
Shen Yanshu sneered: "Who knew that I killed you?" Taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, you casually threw your corpse into some other prince's mansion, and the emperor thought that you were killing each other for the sake of competing for the crown." ”
Yan Qinghan's smile deepened at the corner of her eyes: "Miss Shen is really scheming." ”
"So is the prince going to confess?" Shen Yanshu said.
Yan Qinghan: "But your plan may not work, there are several secret guards outside your courtyard." ”
Shen Yanshu was stunned, but he forgot that this guy has a lot of secret guards.
At the moment when Shen Yanshu was distracted, Yan Qinghan's body dodged to the side, avoiding her dagger, and at the same time holding her wrist with his backhand, wanting to snatch the dagger in her hand.
Shen Yanshu reacted immediately, clutching the dagger tightly, trying to break out of Yan Qinghan's restraints, but the difference in strength between her and this guy was really huge, and she couldn't break free, she raised her leg and kicked in his direction, and he gently dodged it.
Turning around, the two exchanged places, Shen Yanshu was confined by him between the wall and him, and his hands were also controlled by him.
"You let go of me!" Now that the two of them were face to face, so close to each other, she couldn't help but raise her voice and shout.
Yan Qinghan didn't mean to let go at all: "If you're not afraid of recruiting everyone, just shout." ”
"Shameless!" Shen Yanshu scolded hatefully.
Yan Qinghan looked at her fried hair, and her mood suddenly became very good.
"Ling Yunjian, Lu Fu, Chen Yanxi. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "What do you have to do with the Qi family?"
In the silence of the night, his voice was exceptionally clear, and even the breath that came out between his breaths was extremely warm.
Shen Yanshu's body couldn't help but tremble, and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand what you mean. ”
As long as she doesn't say it, no one will know that she is Qi Yunge, and she is still very clear about this.
"It's a pity that your reaction has betrayed you. Yan Qinghan said.
His voice was still soft, and it sounded extremely charming, Shen Yanshu didn't want to hear anything from him anymore, he knew that a knife would kill him.
"So, are you going to convict me of plotting against the party and put me in prison?" Shen Yanshu suddenly laughed.
Yan Qinghan's eyes tightened, she really had something to do with the Qi family.
He suddenly let go of his hand and looked at Shen Yanshu: "Who are you?"
Shen Yanshu didn't expect him to let go like this, but she still didn't have a good face: "If His Royal Highness King Ling doesn't know who I am, how can he come to me tonight." ”
"The king will find out. Yan Qinghan said.
Shen Yanshu didn't believe it, it was strange that he could find out.
"You give me back my Lingyun Sword......"
Before she finished her words, Yan Qinghan had already left the room.
Shen Yanshu is really angry, when she is a place here, she can come and leave whenever she wants!
During the day, she still thought that the broken wall of this dark incense house was too short, and it was convenient for her to enter and exit without going through the main gate, but now it seems that it is not only convenient for herself, but also for thieves!
She put the dagger away, it seems that this time Yan Qinghan is eyeing herself.
Breaking into Taichangqing's Mansion at night? Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
In that case, then don't blame her for doing the same, doesn't he want to return the Lingyun Sword......?
When Qing Kite went to Shen Yanshu's room with warm water for washing in the morning, she found that she was drawing something in front of her desk.
"Miss, why did you get up so early today?" said the young kite, putting the water on the tall wooden stool, and stepped forward in confusion.
Shen Yanshu was concentrating on drawing the picture and did not answer the green kite.
The green kite stepped forward to see that her young lady drew a map, although she couldn't understand it, but there were some places marked on the door, such as the study, the backyard and other places.
Looking at this very complicated map, the green kite knew that it couldn't be drawn in a few hours, could it be that Miss didn't sleep last night?
After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Yanshu finally stopped the pen in his hand and looked at the map he had drawn with satisfaction.
"What is this, Miss?" asked the young kite.
"Map. ”
"Where is this map?...... doesn't look like our house," the blue kite was puzzled.
Shen Yanshu picked up the paper and blew it gently, very precious: "The map I dreamed of." ”
The green kite choked, well, Miss Feelings, this is just a painting and playing.
Of course, Shen Yanshu would not tell Qing Kite that this was the map of Ling Wang's Mansion, her brother and Yan Qinghan had a good relationship at the beginning, and she had seen the map of Ling Wang's Mansion from her brother, she had a good memory, but she remembered seven, seven, eight, eight.
With the map in hand, even if his Ling Wangfu had more guards, she could find the flaw.
But where will this guy put the Lingyun Sword?
Shen Yanshu stared at the map, his bedroom, study, warehouse?
Her gaze wandered, and she suddenly stopped in one place, Mingyue Pavilion.
She remembered that her brother said that this Mingyue Pavilion was an attic that looked very simple on the surface, but the layout was very ingenious, and it was made by Yan Qinghan at that time, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Yan Qinghan would hide some treasures in this seemingly inconspicuous attic at that time.
Shen Yanshu snapped his fingers, this is it!
"Miss, this water is cold, the slave will go to change the basin and wash your face again. Qing Kite watched Shen Yanshu finally finish her own business, and was about to let her wash up, but found that the water was cold.
Shen Yanshu waved his hand: "No need, I'm very sleepy now, I'll talk about it when I wake up." ”
She folded the map and clipped it in the book, turned around and went back to the bed, tossing all night, how could she have the strength to steal the Lingyun Sword back if she didn't have a good rest.
Qing Kite turned around, and just wanted to tell Shen Yanshu that she would eat breakfast first and then go to sleep, but seeing that her already sleeping face looked really tired, she didn't call her again, but lightly carried the water out of the room.

After Chu Linche had breakfast, he hurried to King Ling's mansion and hurriedly walked to Yan Qinghan's study.
He pushed open the door and saw Yan Qinghan, whose face was pale, looking at some letters in front of his desk.
"Every time you say that you can't listen to it, don't look at these things if you're weak, and it's the same for another day. Chu Linche walked up to him angrily and said.
Yan Qinghan lowered his head and smiled, and finally put these things away.
Chu Linche's face was a little better, and he asked, "As I told you before, does the purple pearl of the Xiao family in Jiangnan have any clues?"
Yan Qinghan's face didn't have too many waves, and he was disappointed too many times and gradually became numb: "I can only find out that the purple pearl was taken away as a dowry by the young lady of the Xiao family more than ten years ago." ”
"Then go find that young lady of the Xiao family!" Chu Linche immediately answered.
"I heard that the young lady of the Xiao family has died a long time ago. ”
Chu Linche was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Miss Xiao is dead, she always has a son and a half daughter, right? The dowry should be left to her children." ”
Yan Qinghan shook his head: "Then Miss Xiao died in childbirth, and she gave birth to a stillborn child, without children." The Xiao family had no contact with that family later, and it was difficult to investigate. ”
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to check it down!"
Yan Qinghan looked at Chu Linche's nervous look, and a miserable white smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine." ”
Chu Linche really couldn't stand it anymore, and shook his sleeves and said, "Don't force it if you can't laugh, you look worse than crying when you look like this now." ”
"It's going to be okay today. Yan Qinghan said, his tone was as if he was saying that today's weather was also very good.
Only Chu Linche knew how much courage he needed to say this.
"That Shen Yanshu, her relationship with the Qi family is not simple, don't touch her yet. Yan Qinghan didn't know why he still thought of her at this time, maybe it was because of the Qi family.
Chu Linche nodded, and asked again, "Is Mingyue Pavilion ready?"
Yan Qinghan let out a "hmm", after all, it was not the first time, and the people under his hands had long been used to it.
