Chapter 171 Late Night Expedition
In the Princess's Mansion, in a side room in the backyard.
Su Xing took great pains to loosen the rope around his wrists using a knife he had hidden in his sleeve.
He stretched his wrists slightly and hurried to untie the ropes on his body.
There was someone guarding the door, so he didn't dare make any noise and moved very carefully.
After regaining his freedom, he got up and walked around the house, trying to see if there was any place he could escape.
The door definitely wouldn't work, the only possible place was the window on the wall opposite the door.
He looked at the height and found that he could reach it by standing on a stool, but it was a bit difficult to jump out of the window.
He looked around the room again and suddenly saw the rope that had tied him up.
Su Xing suddenly had an idea and immediately stepped forward and picked up the rope.
He was even more careful than before, and even his breathing slowed down unconsciously.
By the time he finally climbed up to the window, his back was soaked with sweat. The wind outside the window gave him a chill and he almost fell down.
He took a deep breath and slowly slid down using the rope.
After landing, he didn't dare to act rashly. He looked around first to make sure that no one had thrown the rope back into the house before he tiptoed away.
This was the first time Su Xing did such a thing, and no matter how he tried to comfort himself, his heart still pounded.
Fortunately, it is still late at night and there are not many people around.
He had to hurry, otherwise he would not be able to find out the news before dawn, and Luo Ling'er would most likely come to find him.
That’s right, he planned to investigate the whereabouts of Marquis Mu Yuan and Xia Yunxi instead of escaping from the Princess’ Mansion.
It's not that he overestimates his own abilities, but he knows that he can't escape.
He hoped that Tianyi would arrive in time when he found out the whereabouts of Mu Yuanhou and Xia Yunxi, so that he could catch Mu Yuanhou in the act.
Su Xing prayed to God for protection in his heart while quickening his pace.
According to his inference, Marquis Mu Yuan and Xia Yunxi would not live in a very poor place and must be very close to the eldest princess's house.
Fortunately, when he came to the Princess's Mansion last time, he carefully looked at the layout of the mansion and roughly knew the direction.
But the Princess's Mansion was too big, and his body had not fully recovered yet. He was already gasping for breath after only searching two courtyards.
He didn't dare to stop, and kept walking forward while using his hands to calm himself down.
Just then, two patrolling servants suddenly came from not far away.
Su Xing's heart was shocked and he quickly turned around and hid behind a short tree nearby.
He covered his mouth, forced himself to slow down his breathing, and stared at the two figures that were getting closer and closer without blinking.
The two men didn't notice Su Xing at all and continued chatting idly.
"Have you noticed that something is not right in our house these days?" one of them asked in a deliberately low voice.
Another person also responded in a low voice: "That's right, I was thinking that, the masters have become different people, getting angry easily."
"Not only that! Do you know the Tingfeng Courtyard in front? It was always empty before, but it seems someone is living there these past two days. I don't know who the distinguished guest is, but no one can get close to it!"
"I also heard that except for a few masters, no one can enter!"
The sound of their voices gradually faded away, and their figures gradually disappeared.
Su Xing then stood up from behind the tree and looked seriously in the direction where they disappeared.
God must be helping him. Isn’t the place these two people are discussing the place he is looking for?
Tingfengyuan
Su Xing immediately adjusted his direction and moved forward quickly.
Just as Su Xing guessed, the main gate was guarded, so he had to find another entrance.
But it’s not that easy to find. The back door is guarded and he doesn’t have the ability to climb over the wall.
After thinking about it, he could only think of the dog hole he saw on TV, but he was not sure whether the dog hole was made up on TV or really existed.
With the attitude of trying everything possible, he groped along the wall.
Unexpectedly, he actually found a gap in the wall near the back door.
Su Xing was secretly delighted, and without caring whether the hole was big enough or not, he bent down and crawled in.
Fortunately, he was thin and had lost a lot of weight after being injured, so the gap was just big enough to accommodate him.
The edge is too sharp and it hurts a lot when it scratches my body. My shoulders and thighs were scratched.
He didn't care about anything else and got up hurriedly as soon as he got in.
Su Xing looked into the yard vigilantly and saw a house with the lights on.
He clenched his fist to cheer himself up, then walked carefully to the side of the room where there was a window.
As soon as I walked under the window, I heard voices coming from inside.
Su Xing was startled and quickly squatted down and pricked up his ears.
"Please be patient, Queen Mother. I promise that you will be able to return to the palace in two days at most and continue to be your Queen Mother."
Su Xing immediately recognized that this was the voice of Marquis Mu Yuan!
As for the empress dowager he mentioned, there was no doubt that it was Xia Yunxi.
They are here!
Su Xing covered his mouth excitedly, for he was afraid that he would accidentally scream out.
Now, as long as they are sure that they are here, Liu Yan and his men can come in and arrest people directly without having to worry about the princess.
"You've already said this before!" Xia Yunxi's angry rebuke instantly brought Su Xing back from his excitement.
Su Xing was startled and pricked up his ears again.
"I will never trust you again!" Xia Yunxi said in a very firm tone: "I will go back to the palace now!"
"Queen, calm down!" Marquis Mu Yuan continued to speak softly, "If you trust me, I can guarantee it with my life!"
"Humph!" Xia Yunxi didn't appreciate it at all, and her words were full of sarcasm: "Your life is worthless to me!"
"Queen Mother..." Su Xing heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. It should be Marquis Mu Yuan kneeling down: "Please wait for two more days. I will definitely help you realize your wish!"
Su Xing really couldn't understand why Marquis Mu Yuan was so devoted to Xia Yunxi?
What tricks did Xia Yunxi use to make Mu Yuanhou so obedient?
After a long while, Xia Yunxi spoke in a very unhappy tone: "This is the last time I will trust you... If you disappoint me again, there is no need for you to continue living!"
Xia Yunxi's voice was both ruthless and cold-blooded, but Marquis Mu Yuan didn't care at all. Instead, he cherished this last chance and immediately replied excitedly: "Yes! Thank you, Queen Mother! Don't worry, Queen Mother! I will never let you down again!"
Su Xing was completely stunned. He became more and more curious about what was going on between Xia Yunxi and Mu Yuanhou.
Also, what’s going on between them and the Princess’s Mansion?
God seemed to be really helping Su Xing. Just as questions popped up in his mind, Xia Yunxi's voice rang out again: "And... after this is done, I don't want to see Ye Wan and her daughter again..."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother." Marquis Mu Yuan immediately assured: "Cooperating with them is just a temporary measure. When the matter is accomplished, I will make them disappear!"
Su Xing's heart sank suddenly. They were indeed in cahoots with each other!
