Chapter 181 Sneaking into the Princess's Mansion
Bai Ran rubbed his head a little embarrassedly and smiled awkwardly, "Haha, it seems that the painting is a little bad."
Xiao Yuchen: ...
Is this a bit bad? If this is my father, then the way I look now is a genetic mutation.
Xiao Yuchen walked forward speechlessly and took the brush from her hand, "You tell me, and I'll draw."
When Bai Ran saw that Xiao Yuchen wanted to draw, she immediately made way for him and sat down. Then she thought carefully and began to describe Ji Mingzhe's appearance.
Xiao Yuchen was drawing as he listened, but he really couldn't draw any more halfway through. He found that his drawing was not much better than Bai Ran's just now.
At most, his eyes are a little bigger, and he still looks a little creepy.
This look, well, still doesn't look very good.
Could it be that he really looks like this?
Xiao Yuchen suddenly felt that it was good that he was not like him.
"Mom, has it been so long that you've forgotten what he looks like?" Xiao Yuchen still found it hard to believe that he looked like this.
Bai Ran's thoughts were pointed out, and her face turned even redder.
Actually, it is true. I haven't seen him for almost ten years, and his appearance has indeed become blurry. Although Xiao Yuchen looks a bit like him, they are not particularly similar.
"Oh, forget it. I won't paint anymore. Forget it. After so many years, I've let it go. It doesn't matter whether I can find him or not. After so many years, he must have started a family. There's no point in me looking for him anymore."
After saying this, Bai Ran lowered her head in disappointment. It's not like she had never been in love before, but this one made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The reason why I want to find him is just because of the expectation in my heart. I want to see him again.
In fact, even she herself did not expect that she would forget what he looked like. She thought she could always remember him, so she was a little sad now. She had forgotten what he looked like, and she was afraid that he had forgotten her a long time ago, and even got married and had children, with a house full of wives and children.
Seeing that Bai Ran looked a little disappointed, Xiao Yuchen didn't know what to say to comfort her. After all, he was not sure whether he could find the person.
"Forget it, Mom is fine. Be careful when you go to the Princess's Mansion at night. If there are any special circumstances, don't take the things first. Come back first. Safety is the most important."
"Okay." Xiao Yuchen came here to ask Bai Ran to help Lin Zhixue take care of the child at night. Now that the child is older, he likes to crawl around, so he wanted to let Bai Ran go over and take a look.
At the same time, he was also worried about another problem, that is, the person who followed him today didn't know what he was going to do.
Worried about any action over there, it's better to keep them together so Bai Zhan can better protect them together.
After making the arrangements, Xiao Yuchen returned to his room, ate something, played with the two children for a while, and then sent them back.
He lay quietly in bed waiting for midnight to arrive.
After resting for a while, he opened his eyes on time at midnight. Hearing some movement at the door, he got up from the bed and walked out. The person standing outside was Yue Li, who had just arrived as well.
"Let's go."
Yue Li wore a black nightgown and covered her face with a piece of black cloth. Seeing that Xiao Yuchen did not change his clothes or cover his face, Yue Li pushed him back into the house.
"Achen, you should at least change your clothes!"
If they were discovered going to the princess's mansion, wouldn't it be immediately known that it was them?
Xiao Yuchen originally didn't want to change, but seeing Yue Li insisted on doing so, he had no choice but to change into a nightgown, which also covered his face.
The two of them got ready and headed towards the princess's mansion together. They came to the corner gate of the princess's mansion and climbed over the wall to go in.
After the two came in, they planned to act separately and look for the location of the dragon bones together.
Xiao Yuchen went to the princess's bedroom to look for it, while Yue Li went to the warehouse to look for it.
Xiao Yuchen carefully observed the terrain of the mansion during the day and soon found the princess's bedroom. Unfortunately, Ji Lan was still awake and taking a bath in the room.
Seeing that she was taking a bath so late at night, Xiao Yuchen was speechless and had no mood to continue watching. He simply went to look for her somewhere else and come back later. Thinking of this, he wanted to go find Yue Li first to see what the situation was over there and whether there was anything wrong.
Not knowing where the storehouse of the princess's mansion was, he searched aimlessly and soon found Yue Li. He saw him hiding behind a rockery, as if looking at something. He quietly walked over to him, landed beside him and patted his shoulder.
"What are you looking at? So engrossed?"
Yue Li was watching intently and didn't notice when Xiao Yuchen came. She almost couldn't help but scream out loud.
She glanced at him unhappily, then pointed to a place not far away and said, "Achen, look, it's really interesting. We're not the only ones here tonight. There's actually another group of men in black."
Xiao Yuchen then looked towards the distance and found that the men in black were short, about five of them, and they were all holding wooden barrels in their hands.
Then pour the contents of the wooden barrel out to the outside of the princess's mansion.
There were several corpses lying on the ground not far from them. With the faint moonlight, Yue Li took a look at the people on the ground and found that they were all foaming at the mouth. They were deader than dead. It seemed that they were all poisoned.
"Achen, that's the direction of the warehouse. If we go over there, we will definitely alert those people. Should we still go in?"
Xiao Yuchen also thought for a while. Looking at the people on the ground, there were also secret guards among them. They could easily poison the secret guards in the princess's mansion. I'm afraid they have a very strong poison on them.
"You keep an eye on it here, I'll go over and take a look."
Xiao Yuchen was about to go forward when he suddenly heard someone inside shouting, "There's an assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yuchen stopped and did not move forward. Instead, he pulled Yue Li back a step and said, "You stay here and watch. I'll go back and take a look."
It was estimated that those men in black were discovered, and now the mansion was in chaos. He took this opportunity to go back to the princess's bedroom to take a look.
When Xiao Yuchen came back again, Ji Lan had finished bathing and was about to lie down to rest, but she heard the maid outside reporting that an assassin had entered the mansion.
Ji Lan couldn't sleep anymore and wanted to go out to check what was going on. She took people out of the bedroom. After she left, Xiao Yuchen entered the mansion and searched inside. Suddenly, he found a box containing dragon bones on a cabinet nearby.
He took it down with joy, unwrapped the red cloth, opened it and took a look at what was inside.
Seeing that this thing was exactly the same as the one in Bai Ran's portrait of him, he wrapped the red cloth back and was about to leave with the thing. At this time, a figure rushed in quickly from outside.
At the same time, several small knives flew in the air towards Xiao Yuchen.
