A few days later, Yan Xiwan stood in front of the Ye Palace with a haggard face and bare face, begging: "Go in and tell the prince that I came back to pack my clothes and will leave after I finish packing."

The guard at the door looked embarrassed. They had been instructed by their superiors that Yan Xiwan was not allowed to enter the mansion without the prince's order. But this man refused to leave and kept making trouble in public.

After a while, the guard said helplessly: "Please wait here for a moment. I will go in and inform the prince."

Yan Xiwan smiled gratefully, but in her heart she kept cursing the guard for being so short-sighted.

Of course she would not leave. King Ning had already found out for her. Today, Lu Yanluo was out and not at home. Now was the best time to steal the drawings, so she naturally could not leave.

In the study, when Chu Xuan heard the guard say that Yan Xiwan came back to pack her clothes, he sighed, "Let her in, pack quickly, and let her leave as soon as possible."

After all, I still remember the life-saving grace I received in my childhood.

Chu Xuan could never bring himself to do anything cruel to Yan Xiwan, otherwise, with how she had repeatedly plotted against Lu Yanluo, she would probably have been dead by now.

Outside the mansion, Yan Xiwan saw the guard opening the door for her. She snorted coldly and glared at the guard with disdain. She walked past the guard and cursed, "You tactless guard dog!"

Seeing this, the guard sneered calmly and said to Yan Xiwan's back: "The prince has ordered Miss Yan to pack up and leave the mansion as soon as possible."

After saying this, the person who had been so arrogant just now paused and then fled in panic.

Yan Xiwan was filled with rage but had nowhere to vent it. Walking into Xiwan Pavilion made her even more sad. Her hatred for Lu Yanluo grew stronger.

In order to conceal her tracks, Yan Xiwan tidied up in the room for a while. Seeing that it was time for the guards to change shifts, she quickly left Xiwan Pavilion based on her familiarity with the palace.

He avoided the guards' patrols all the way and sneaked into Yunyayuan.

In Yunya Garden, Lu Yanluo was out and there were only a few servants cleaning the yard. Yan Xiwan took advantage of the situation, climbed in through the window, and went straight to Lu Yanluo's room.

The room was simple and clear. There was a desk opposite the door, a row of treasure cabinets behind it, a screen on the side, and a large carved bed behind the screen.

Yan Xiwan searched aimlessly on the table, and then searched in the Duobao Pavilion. Time passed by little by little, but she didn't even see the shadow of the blueprint.

Yan Xiwan became a little anxious and wandered around the house like a headless fly.

Suddenly, a voice was heard.

Yan Xiwan's whole body tensed up, she squatted on the ground holding her breath, listening to the faint voice coming over.

"Why did you come back so early? I wanted to send someone to pick you up this afternoon." It was Chu Xuan's voice.

"It's so boring to talk about it. What kind of garden party? Everyone reciting poems and composing couplets made me sleepy. It's not suitable for me, so I just made an excuse to go back." This is Lu Yanluo who was invited to attend the garden party today.

She came back early and was coming this way.

Yan Xiwan hurriedly put the messed up items back in place, opened the window and returned the same way.

The next second after she turned around and closed the window, Lu Yanluo pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Chu Xuan with a smile on his face.

"You're so free? Why are you coming in with me?"

Lu Yanluo curled her lips with a hint of disgust and walked towards the desk.

Chu Xuan smiled and said jokingly, "I've been busy for half a day, and you don't allow me to take a break? Ah Luo, what's wrong?"

In front of him, Lu Yanluo looked coldly at the desk and the Duobao Pavilion behind it, then walked around the screen to the bed, her face becoming increasingly worse.

Chu Xuan looked at Lu Yanluo worriedly: "What happened? You look so ugly."

Lu Yanluo stood by the window and said in a deep voice: "Someone broke into my room without permission, and it seems that he is looking for something."

Then he laughed sarcastically, "It's a pity that this little thief didn't have good skills. He placed my things in a mess, which made people notice it at a glance."

"Little thief?" In an instant, a figure jumped into Chu Xuan's mind—Yan Xiwan.

But what is she looking for?

Chu Xuan thought for a moment and decided to confess to Lu Yanluo: "Not long after you left today, Yan Xiwan asked to see me outside the mansion. She said she wanted to go into the mansion to pack her clothes. I agreed. Could it be her?"

Lu Yanluo heard: "..."

[A bastard man, he still knows how to be gentle with women! ]

Chu Xuan smiled awkwardly, "A Luo, I really just asked her to come into the house to pack her luggage. If you don't believe me, ask the guard at the door."

Lu Yanluo snorted lightly, turned around and walked to the Duobao Pavilion, pressed lightly from below, and a small secret compartment slowly appeared.

In the secret compartment were placed the blueprints of the enemy's crossbow and the blueprints of the musket that Lu Yanluo was researching.

Lu Yanluo smiled coldly and took out the blueprint of the musket: "I guess this is what Yan Xiwan has been trying so hard to find. It's a pity that she didn't find it even though it was right in front of her."

Chu Xuan looked puzzled and asked, "But why did she steal this thing?"

Hearing this, Lu Yanluo teased with ill intentions, "What? You'll have to ask the prince. She loves you wholeheartedly, but unfortunately, you are merciless and she was cruelly driven away by the prince. Naturally, she turned her love into hatred and wanted to take revenge on you, the heartless man, and me, the intruder. People driven by hatred are the easiest to be exploited."

Chu Xuan was speechless, but didn't know where to start to defend himself, so he simply sat on the chair and acted like a hands-off boss.

"So what should Luo do now?"

Lu Yanluo looked at the drawing in her hand, her eyes sharp.

"No big deal. Since she wants it, I'll just give it to her. But I still need to think carefully about who to give it to."

Chu Xuan understood instantly.

Lu Yanluo was going to use a fake blueprint to trick Yan Xi into being a pawn at night.

No matter who is behind Yan Xiwan, once he sees the fake drawings, he will definitely not let Yan Xiwan off easily.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Yanluo left home to find someone to watch a play.

At Xiwan Pavilion, Chu Xuan sent someone to inform Yan Xiwan to leave the house as soon as possible today. Yan Xiwan was anxious, but when she suddenly heard that Lu Yanluo was not at the house, she was secretly happy.

Lu Yanluo, even God is helping me, you are finished this time.

When Yan Xiwan sneaked into Yun Yayuan again, she felt as if she was helped by God and the journey was basically smooth.

The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as yesterday, except for a small box in the corner under the desk.

Yan Xiwan's heart moved, and she walked over quickly and opened it.

Sure enough, this was the drawing Chu Zhen mentioned.

Yan Xiwan let out a breath of relief, then left the palace openly with the drawings.

At Prince Ning's Mansion, Lu Yanluo proudly handed the blueprint to Chu Zhen: "I got the blueprint!"

Chu Zhen couldn't wait to take the drawing and opened it with great interest.

"…Are you kidding me?"

Yan Xiwan was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Chu Zhen threw the blueprint at Yan Xiwan with a snap: "This blueprint is fake, don't you have any brains? Why did you steal it? You're just alerting the enemy! You're more likely to cause trouble than help!"

Yan Xiwan was stunned by Chu Zhen's sudden roar.

It took him a while to realize that he had been deceived by Lu Yanluo!
