The king's tent was originally located on the west side of the military camp, but the emperor did not return to the king's tent, but went to the small tent.
Xiao Nanhui didn't know where the small account was exactly, but she could use the process of elimination to confirm it.
The king's tent is where all the generals gather to discuss matters on weekdays. Behind it is the emperor's sleeping tent, and the small tent is for taking a nap. Theoretically, they should not be too far apart.
She observed from afar and saw some familiar faces from the Black Feather Camp who usually hung around the emperor.
However, it was a military tent after all. Even if it was a general's tent, she couldn't enter it just because she wanted to.
How could she behave as appropriately as possible and still find out the emperor's news without making any noise?
Xiao Nanhui looked at it from a distance for a while, but he really couldn't make out anything. This made him even more anxious.
After thinking about it, she adjusted her expression slightly and walked towards the largest tent with her head held high.
She had just taken a few steps closer when the guard at the door keenly sensed her intention.
The guard of the Black Feather Camp stopped her in a rather cold and harsh voice before she even reached the door of the tent.
"Who is trespassing here?"
Xiao Nanhui looked down at her body. She was not wearing armor today, and her training clothes were of no particular design. She looked like an ordinary soldier.
She didn't move forward, but bowed slightly.
"I just want to ask for the right general Xiao Nanhui of the camp. I don't know if Your Majesty..." As she spoke, she poked her head to the side, trying to peek at the situation inside through the slightly lifted felt curtain.
The next second, the guard calmly took a step to the side, blocking her inquiring gaze.
The other party saluted her according to his military rank, but the two eyes revealed under the armor remained cold.
"So it's the Right General. I wonder what the general wants?"
Xiao Nanhui swallowed his saliva.
"I was just practicing with Your Majesty, and there are still a few key points that I haven't explained."
As soon as she said it, she felt that this excuse was terrible.
The guard still had no expression on his face and stared at her.
"Ah." She paused, then stiffly took something out of her waistband. "And this bottle of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. I was planning to bring it to His Majesty."
As she said this, her fingers were pinching the belly of the bottle, and they were cramping because she was squeezing too hard.
This was the mutton fat she had just gotten from Mo Chunhua that morning. The bottom of the bottle was still stained with leftover lamb leg fat from last night. She had originally thought she would apply some to moisturize her face after a day outside in the wind and sun.
Of course, this thing can only moisturize your face.
She swallowed, suddenly regretting her exaggerated behavior. If the emperor really poured it on himself, she might not only be charged with deceiving the emperor, but also with intending to poison the emperor.
A few seconds passed, but she felt like more than half a minute had passed.
The guard finally spoke slowly.
"His Majesty is not here. Please return, General."
What? Not here?!
Why didn't you tell me earlier? She wasted half a day here...
"Or perhaps the General could keep the things and have them delivered to you at a later date..."
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she took three steps back, waving her hands frantically: "Oh, no need to bother, I'll come back later."
After saying that, she turned around and quickly left the scene.
Xiao Nanhui walked out quickly for dozens of steps before slowing down and looking back with lingering fear.
The guard obviously didn't have much interest in her and didn't even glance in her direction at this moment.
I don't know when it started, but the strong wind in the afternoon suddenly died down. A small team of patrolling soldiers just passed by, and the surroundings were quiet.
Xiao Nanhui was about to leave, but stopped again.
She believed that her hearing was not as good as Xiao Zhun and Shrike, but it was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.
She looked around and quickly identified where the sound she had picked up came from.
It was one of the military tents she had just passed by, except that she had just walked past it and was now behind it.
Now, a faint human voice came from the gap under the tent. Although the voice was very low, it was still detectable if one listened carefully.
She moved carefully and took a few steps closer to the sound.
Now she could hear it more clearly; the sound was indeed coming from the tent she had just wanted to enter.
Strange, didn't they say the emperor wasn't in the tent? Was he trying to trick her? What was he trying to trick her into doing?
Xiao Nanhui was a person who rarely showed curiosity, but at this moment, she couldn't suppress her inner curiosity for some reason. She convinced herself that she was just checking on the emperor and quietly went around to the other side of the tent.
Next to the small tent stood a low shed, separated from the smaller tent by only one or two layers of felt. The emperor's servants would temporarily store his spare clothes and supplies like candles here for easy access. Suyan's dry weather made it easy for water to escape, and open flames were strictly prohibited in the military camp. Even small sheds like this one were tightly sealed to prevent drafts from blowing in and extinguishing the candles.
How tightly is this small shed sealed?
Xiao Nanhui almost had to dig a hole in the ground before he could barely get under the tent cloth.
It was dark in the shed, and she could hear her heart pounding from the series of operations she had just performed.
She had come in during the handover between patrolmen, and would also find the same opportunity to get out later.
The temporary wooden scaffolding above her head was pressed down very low, so she didn't dare to stand up completely. She could only grope carefully in the direction where the sound came from.
The intermittent male voice became clearer and clearer. She could tell that it was indeed the emperor's voice, but there was no other voice besides his.
