Chapter 2 Female Bodyguard 2
That night, Princess Yuehua went to the palace and did not return.
Taking advantage of Princess Yuehua's absence, Luo Xi secretly slipped into Princess Yuehua's bedchamber...
She stood beside Princess Yuehua's bed and released a small black insect, which eventually landed on a wall behind the bed.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xi's eyes flickered.
So that's where it was hidden.
She spent fifteen minutes deciphering the complex mechanism and obtaining the treasure map hidden in the secret compartment.
Before leaving, she put a fake treasure map inside.
Just then, An Wu passed by. He heard a noise coming from the bedchamber. He was about to call for help when, in the next second, two silver needles shot out from the study and struck him squarely in the chest.
The needle was highly poisonous; he vomited blood and died shortly afterward.
Luo Xi took the real treasure map and quickly left.
The next day, Princess Yuehua returned. She went into her bedchamber alone, opened the hidden compartment, and saw that the treasure map was still there. She breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it's still there.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain it to her brother, the Crown Prince.
A quarter of an hour later, she walked out of the bedchamber and looked at An Wu's corpse with a gloomy expression.
She sent someone to investigate.
Just then, Princess Yuehua discovered that her commander of the secret guards, An Yi, was not there.
"Where is An Yi?"
An Er stepped forward and reported truthfully, "Your Highness, An Yi was here last night, but he's nowhere to be seen today..."
"We don't know where she went either?"
An Yi is the commander of the secret guards, so she doesn't need to tell the other secret guards where she goes.
Princess Yuehua: !!!
Not here? Is it Dark One?
She didn't want to doubt An Yi, but since An Yi wasn't there today, she couldn't help but have doubts.
An Yi had been by her side for over six years, but unexpectedly...
No, that's impossible.
Anyone could betray her, but An Yi would never.
So, who killed An Wu? And where is An Yi? Why is she not here today?
On the other side,
Luo Xi sat on a tall, straight tree and spent an hour memorizing the treasure map.
Then, she tore up the treasure map and burned it to ashes...
She remembered it, so there was no need to keep it; destroying it was the best option.
In fact, Luo Xi is not An Yi, the commander of Princess Yuehua's secret guards; she is merely wearing An Yi's skin.
Luo Xi's true identity is the master of the Hidden Palace.
Two months ago, she received news that before leaving the capital, Qi Chen, the crown prince of Qi, secretly entrusted the treasure map to his younger sister, Princess Yuehua, for safekeeping.
The treasure map was very tempting, and Luo Xi was reluctant to let her subordinates retrieve it, because she was afraid that they would not be able to resist the temptation, develop inappropriate thoughts, and thus betray her.
So she went by herself...
Half a month ago, she came to Princess Yuehua's side to serve as her bodyguard. Her goal was to obtain the treasure map in Princess Yuehua's possession.
Princess Yuehua trusted An Yi very much, which is why Luo Xi knew that Princess Yuehua had placed the treasure map in her bedroom.
A few days ago, she smeared a little colorless and odorless powder on the letter that Qi Chen, the crown prince of Qi, sent to Princess Yuehua.
Luo Xi was gambling that Princess Yuehua would put the letter and the treasure map together.
Sure enough, she made the right bet.
Princess Yuehua indeed placed the letter together with the treasure map.
Luo Xi raised a black insect with a very sensitive nose; it could smell the powder even through a wall.
And so, Luo Xi found the treasure map.
As for the real An Yi, she died long ago; Luo Xi killed her...
In fact, Luo Xi had already seen the real treasure map five years ago. At that time, the treasure map was in the hands of her master.
But later, her master disappeared without a trace, and the treasure map also vanished.
