Chapter 432: Night Exploration of the Imperial Tomb
"We are indeed here for another purpose." Tian Bao did not hide it. She stared quietly at the bright and beautiful lady in front of her, "But I don't know if you can trust me. Princess, if you want to find out what you want to know from me, how about exchanging it with what I want to know?"
The second princess stared with her eyes wide open and the corners of her mouth twitched.
no.
This girl doesn’t look very old, maybe seventeen or eighteen?
How come he is so sophisticated, like an old devil who has been in the world for a hundred years?
It’s too hard to appease!
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, looking away, her voice clear and light, "There really is a reason for everything."
"..." The Second Princess's mouth dropped. "What a rascal! No wonder you're considered the most deranged of all by the Nine Nations."
"They can't do anything to me, so they say I'm arrogant." The girl defended herself, paused, and added, "I just don't take them seriously."
“…”
After a moment, the second princess turned around, quickly pulled her handkerchief to cover her mouth and laughed, so as not to disturb her elder sister's sleep.
The night deepens.
The Princess's Mansion had already arranged an elegant and quiet courtyard for Tianbao and his party to rest.
A few of them felt sleepy, so they stopped talking and got up to go back to the yard to sleep.
The second princess naturally could not stay any longer.
Before leaving, she turned back and whispered to Tianbao, "Xi Ling will never harm you. You can trust me on this point, little girl. If the Queen were here, she would tell you the same thing."
Tian Bao nodded and said, "If there is any need for Second Princess's help in the future, I will definitely ask for your help."
"good!"
The group stayed in the Princess's Mansion for three days.
During this period, Tianbao, his godfather, Du Yeye and others often gathered in the flower hall to analyze the possible bases where Wen Renjing concocted the Iron Man.
Bai Yu was also dragged by the princess for three days, and he could hardly leave her side except for sleeping at night.
Finally, taking advantage of the moment when the old lady was tired and taking a nap at noon, Bai Yu rolled and crawled back to the flower hall and threw himself on the small couch by the window, begging in a trembling voice, "Tianbao, Du Grandpa, Godfather, I don't want to do this job anymore. Can we leave now?"
Everyone, “…”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Bai Yu closed his eyes and cursed his mother in his heart.
Except for Tianbao, they are all a bunch of bastards who gloat over other people's misfortunes!
He gritted his teeth and accused, "What's the difference between this young master and a princess sent to marry a foreign prince? Enduring humiliation! Sacrificing your life for your country! Do you have any conscience after laughing like this? Don't laugh if you dare! Have the guts to switch with me! I'm here to discuss things, you guys go and be my sons!"
Just as the voice fell, the old lady's voice came from outside the window, "Xiaobao? Yu'er? This child, where have you been when your mother took a nap? Yu'er, come out quickly, your mother will take you to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to drink flower tea——"
Bai Yu raised his head and immediately smashed it down.
Everyone in the hall laughed even louder.
During these three days, the eldest princess has visited the residences of all the dignitaries in the West Market, showing off her son to everyone she meets, over and over again.
"The princess will be here soon. While we can still talk, prop your head up." Tian Bao walked to the small couch and manually lifted the young man's drooping head. Looking into his pitiful peach blossom eyes, she almost burst out with a suppressed smile. "We've analyzed it repeatedly over the past few days, and there are only two places left inside and outside the imperial city. They are the most likely places we haven't explored yet."
Bai Yu opened and closed his mouth as the girl held his chin, "The Imperial Palace, and... the Imperial Mausoleum?"
Bing'er poked her head over from the side, her eyes wide as lanterns. "Brother Bai, you're amazing! You were not here when my sister and the others were talking, but you still heard everything!"
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and boasted, "Brother Bai, I have a thousand-mile hearing."
Tianbao let go, and the young man's chin hit the small couch with a click, making him grimace in pain.
He turned over and sat up, rubbing his chin. "I think the possibility of the palace is less. Although the Xiling Palace is large, the security inside is extremely strict, and there are guards patrolling day and night. To forge an iron man, you need to transport a living person in, and avoid everyone's eyes and ears. This is almost impossible."
After a pause, he raised his eyes and said, "Let's explore the imperial tomb first."
Tian Bao lowered her eyes to glance at him, the corners of her lips curled up a little, "Before you came in, my godfather and I had just made a plan, and we will act tonight."
The imperial tomb is located in Panlong Valley, seventy miles west of Du'an.
They had to leave the city before dark, otherwise the imperial city would be under curfew after nightfall and the city gates would be closed, and they would have to wait until tomorrow.
"Yu'er, Yu'er!" The eldest princess had already found her way to the door of the flower hall.
Bai Yu stood up, straightened his robe, and gathered his spirits. He whispered, "Give me half an hour. I'll calm the man down and go with you."
Su An also asked in a whisper, "Are you sure you can leave?"
"Tsk, the hermit has a clever plan. No parent in this world who loves their children can defeat their children." After saying that, the young man walked out with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Everyone understood.
Everyone looked at the young man's back with contempt.
It's shameless to coax an old lady.
It was a sunny day, and the sky was filled with clouds when the sun set.
The entire imperial city was shrouded in warm purple-red light, and it was peaceful and prosperous.
Two carriages passed through the west city gate in the sunset glow and sped away along the official road.
The Princess's Mansion had been bustling for several days, but suddenly became quiet, making people feel as if they were dreaming the past few days.
In the flower hall, an old woman in elegant clothes sat on a small couch, staring at the clouds in the sky in a daze.
The personal maid didn't dare to disturb her and could only stand quietly by her side.
"Yu'er said he had to go out to do something. The child is grown up and can't always be kept in the house. I can't let him accompany me, an old woman, every day."
After a moment, the old woman turned around with a happy smile on her face, and her weathered eyes were full of longing.
She said cheerfully to the maid, "Yu'er said he'll be back in three days at most. He's gone out to find a wife! Maybe it won't be long before I can hold my first grandson in my arms!"
maid,"……"
No wonder the master was willing to let Mr. Bai leave...
Now that I have a son, I am looking forward to having a grandson.
The maid smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master!"
The old woman's smile widened.
On the other side, after leaving the city, Tianbao and his party abandoned the carriage and rode on horseback in the first small town along the way.
It would take about two hours to travel dozens of miles on horseback.
"Bai Yu, how did you convince the princess to let you out?" As night fell and the night wind blew on his face, Su Wu chased after Bai Yu's horse and kept asking.
Bai Yu snorted and laughed, "I've always said that the hermit has his own tricks. Want to steal my skills? Just call me Senior Brother and I'll teach you!"
"Pooh!"
"Hahaha!"
