Wangchuan guessed that Feng Yuheng was going to Prince Sheng's Mansion, but Huang Quan was frightened. Even Ban Zou appeared out of nowhere and his first words were: "You can't go."
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead: "Why?"
“Too dangerous.”
"I don't think it's dangerous." She followed the class and stated the facts and reasoned, "People have different abilities. What you think is dangerous is as safe as a plain for me."
Ban Zou was hit so hard that his forehead was swollen, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "That won't work either." After saying that, he looked at Feng Yuheng's determined face and felt that he probably couldn't stop him, so he added, "Unless you take me with you."
Wang Chuan followed suit and said, "I'll go too."
Huang Quan really wanted to say the same thing, but she was good at fighting. Lightness skills and hiding at night were not her strengths. On the contrary, she would be a hindrance if she did that. So she took back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and she felt very depressed.
Feng Yuheng was also confused. She explained to the two people: "I am going to explore at night, not to go sightseeing. Today is not the Lantern Festival, and there is no possibility of lanterns in Prince Sheng's Mansion. Why are you all following me? Don't you understand that the more people there are, the bigger the target will be?"
Wangchuan was very conflicted. She understood this principle. When she was in Prince Yu's Mansion, she did a lot of night visits because of her excellent Qinggong. Of course, she understood that the more people there were, the bigger the target would be. So after struggling for a long time, she finally said, "I don't have to go, but Miss, at least take the work with you."
"Wangchuan." Feng Yuheng reminded her, "When we were in the palace carriage, His Majesty the Ninth Prince also reminded me to take my belongings with me. What was his attitude afterwards? Did he still say that I should take them with me?"
Wang Chuan stamped his feet and said, "That's because Miss lied to His Highness that you were going to the Right Prime Minister Lu's Mansion! Of course, it's fine to go to Lu's Mansion, but you are actually going to Prince Sheng's Mansion, right? Miss, you must take your work with you. If you don't take it with you, then I will tell His Highness the Ninth Prince that you are going to break into Prince Sheng's Mansion alone at night."
Feng Yuheng was helpless. Her maidservant was getting more and more opinionated! She even dared to tell tales. Wouldn't she rebel in the future? But she also knew that Wang Chuan and the others were doing it for her own good. After all, the Sheng Palace was different from other places. If something went wrong, Xuan Tianming would go crazy. She thought about it and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll just follow the group. We'll leave at midnight tonight. I can still take a nap now."
In order to prevent Feng Yuheng from sneaking away, Ban Zou did not go up to the house or climb up the tree, but sat outside her bedroom. Feng Yuheng was so angry that she covered her head with the quilt and cursed him a thousand times in her heart. Then she felt unwilling to give up, so she stuck her head out and said loudly: "Ban Zou, I'm telling you, don't try to drug me or something. I, your master, am a miracle doctor, and your drugs are useless to me! Not at all!" After that, he covered his head again and continued to curse.
Ban Zou ignored her and sat outside drinking tea, one bowl after another. Soon he heard Feng Yuheng muttering softly, "Drink! Drink until you die! Drink until you keep running to the toilet. How can you still look at me?"
This reminded Ban Zou. Yes, if you drink too much water, you must urinate. If he goes to urinate, the girl will disappear in a flash. So he put down the hand holding the tea bowl, thinking that drinking tea with a set of tea sets worth hundreds of taels of silver is just like this, nothing special.
She took a nap, but midnight came quickly. Feng Yuheng's biological clock was always very accurate, a habit she developed in her previous life. Whenever she wanted to wake up at a fixed time, she would repeat it in her mind several times before going to sleep, and then when she opened her eyes, she would be guaranteed to be five minutes earlier than that fixed time. This good habit was not abandoned even in ancient times.
She sat up and put on her clothes through the thick tent. She heard Banzou outside say, "You are really brave. You have to move at night, but you can take off your clothes and sleep so soundly."
"I am happy with it." Feng Yuheng had nothing to be embarrassed about. She was not like a real lady in ancient times who would feel that her reputation was ruined if she heard a man's voice while getting dressed. To her, showing an arm or a thigh was just like the tank tops and denim hot pants in her previous life. They were everywhere on the street. What's the big deal? Besides, she was still wearing silk pajamas. In addition, the bed curtains were made thick so that she could enter the space anytime and anywhere without being discovered by the maids outside. Even her shadow could not be seen. What was there to be afraid of? She happily put on her clothes and walked back to class while putting on her clothes: "I am happy with it. This is called pursuing sleep quality. Only by sleeping well can your physical and mental strength be guaranteed, so as not to make mistakes during the action. Class, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't take a nap, be careful not to drag me down. If you lose me again, it's not my fault."
Ban Zou snorted, "How do you know I didn't sleep? I slept."
"Forget it!" Feng Yuheng sneered, "You just stood there staring at me without even blinking, do you think I don't know?"
Ban Zou rolled his eyes, unable to argue, because he really did as Feng Yuheng said, he never closed his eyes, just stared at the bed curtains motionlessly, with such concentration that he could see clearly even a mosquito flying in. He felt that Feng Yuheng should stare like this, otherwise the girl was too sneaky and might disappear in the blink of an eye. But... "How could I lose you?" This was too humiliating.
"Hey?" Feng Yuheng had already changed her clothes and reached out to lift the curtain. "You still don't admit it? It's not like you haven't lost me before, have you forgotten? That year in the Third Prince's Mansion!"
Ban Zou's mouth twitched. Well, that was indeed embarrassing. After he lost the person, he didn't dare to tell the Ninth Prince, so he went to find the Seventh Prince. In the end, it was the Seventh Prince who brought the person out of the Third Prince's Mansion. This girl was so reckless that she set a fire in the Third Prince's Mansion. I have to say, she did a great job!
Seeing that Ban Zou was no longer talking, Feng Yuheng got out of bed with a smile. Huang Quan also brought in a washbasin, and Wang Chuan poured her some herbal tea on the table for her to rinse her mouth. After cleaning up, Feng Yuheng waved at Ban Zou: "Go! Go! Go!"
Ban Zou didn't understand what he heard, but he could guess that she wanted to go with her. Both of them were wearing black clothes. They walked out of the room in a flash and disappeared, leaving only two worried girls.
Feng Yuheng's Qinggong was just so-so, it was fine for fooling people, but when it came to actual combat, at least in Ban Zou's eyes, it was nothing. So along the way, Ban Zou looked down on her while taking care of her, and later simply grabbed Feng Yuheng's arm and ran with her, only then did he reach a speed that satisfied him, and a moment later he was already standing under a big tree not far from Prince Sheng's Mansion.
"Why did you stop so early? Run a few more steps forward!" Feng Yuheng was very dissatisfied with the distance. "It's too far. We're not really here to see the scenery." She frowned and looked at Prince Sheng's Mansion in the distance. It was estimated that there was still a distance of fifty meters. It was too cautious to walk at this speed.
"Not far away." Ban Zou told her, "There is a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five steps within the Sheng Palace. You see, it's quiet in the middle of the night, but in fact, there are three secret guards lurking ten steps ahead of us. So, try to speak as quietly as possible."
Feng Yuheng did not argue with these, but concentrated on identifying the location of the secret guards that Ban Zou mentioned. This identification was not important, but it scared her! The secret guards of Shengwang Mansion were really not comparable to those of ordinary mansions. I am afraid that even the security of the imperial palace was not so strict, because Ban Zou just accurately said that there were three secret guards ten steps ahead, but she only sensed two of them, in the tree, and the remaining one could not be found no matter what.
Ban Zou seemed to know the result, so he whispered: "There is another one in the water tank." He pointed to a water tank on the street ahead, "Don't think it's just an old and abandoned water tank. It's intentional. The third secret guard is hiding there. He is a master of bone shrinking skills."
Feng Yuheng took a breath of cold air. Bone-shrinking skill! She had only heard of it, but had never really seen it. The water tank was called a water tank, but it was just like a pickle jar used by northerners. It was very thin, and the height would be higher than her knees. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for an adult to get in there without being discovered. If it was really an expert who could shrink bones as Ban Zou said, she would be shocked, because such an expert was only defending forty meters outside the palace, so what would be the situation inside Prince Sheng's palace?
Ban Zou noticed her shock and asked in a low voice, "Are you still planning to go in? It's still not too late to leave now."
Feng Yuheng shook his head. "Now that we are here, there is no reason to go back. I will leave you alone. I think there is no way you can go in unless you are exposed."
Ban nodded, "Indeed."
"But I can." She raised the corner of her lips, "You go back, I can."
"Now is not the time to argue." Ban Zou was so angry that his teeth were chattering. "Listen to me, come back with me. We can find out what you want to know later. You must not take any risks."
"It's not risky at all." Feng Yuheng said with ease, "I said, there is no place in this world that I, Feng Yuheng, cannot enter. Your Ninth Prince will go to the Southern Territory to fight after the New Year. It is said that the Eighth Prince will cause trouble in the rear and cut off his food supplies, so I must go to Prince Sheng's Mansion this time."
Ban Zou didn't understand, "What does the lack of food have to do with you having to enter Prince Sheng's Mansion?" After asking, he suddenly took a breath of cold air, "You don't want to--" He said, making a gesture of wiping his neck, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. This future Ninth Princess is too bold! "No! Absolutely not!" He said firmly.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "No, I really don't have the ability to kill him in Prince Sheng's Mansion."
"Then what are you going to do?" Ben said anxiously, "What on earth are you going to do in there?"
Feng Yuheng said, "He wants to cut off my future husband's food supply, so I have to prepare more silver for my future husband so that he can buy food himself. This princess will empty the treasury of his Shengwang Mansion tonight, and exchange the silver for my husband's long journey!" At this point, she was suddenly stunned, and then half raised her head to look to the right in amazement, and said in a daze: "Ninth... Ninth Prince!"
Ban Zou subconsciously looked in the direction where her eyes were directed. Just as he turned his head, he suddenly shuddered - there was no one over there! He immediately understood what was going on. Sure enough, when he looked away, the person who was standing next to him had disappeared without a trace!
