Yuan Yao went to the Duke of Rongguo's mansion?
"No way!" Xie Zhi immediately rejected the idea.
"Why?" Yuan Yao asked, puzzled.
Xie Zhi looked at the tiny little one and said worriedly, "You're so small, don't go out of the palace at night."
From the moment she was brought back to Qianhua Palace, she suffered several assassination attempts and poisonings...
Leaving the palace late at night, what if you happen to be followed by assassins lying in wait?
At that time, wouldn't the Ninth Prince kill them?
At this moment, Yun Chan suddenly spoke up: "I'll go with Yuan Yao."
ah?
Everyone looked at him.
Yun Chan's expression was indifferent: "The Rongguo Duke's mansion is heavily guarded. Have the secret guards take Yuan Yao and me there."
"At the Marquis of Changdu's residence, the heir apparent took Princess Huaiyao there."
"What about me?" Lin Xuan asked hurriedly.
Yun Chan glanced at him: "Young Marquis, why don't you bring Princess Huairou with you to meet us?"
A backup?
Wouldn't that mean we don't have to do anything?
Lin Xuan disagreed: "I want to go too!"
“Lin Xuan,” Yuan Yao said, “I think Yun Chan is right, we do need someone to meet us.”
Looking around here, you're the perfect fit.
Lin Xuan: "..."
Maybe he's just a tool?
Xie Zhi glanced around, picked up the last piece of melon from the plate, and stood up. "Wait a moment, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
"Where are you going?" Huaiyao got up as well.
Xie Zhi took a bite of the melon: "Get something."
Huaiyao grabbed the whip: "I'll go with you!"
"OK."
Xie Zhi finished the melon in a few bites and left the study with Huai Yao.
Huairou called out from behind, "You two, be careful."
Xie Zhi waved his hand lazily: "Got it."
After the two left, the study became relatively quiet.
Yun Chan glanced at Yuan Yao and picked up the map of the Duke's mansion.
The Duke's Mansion covers a large area; the garden alone spans several acres.
The garden was the weakest point in the entire Duke's mansion's security...
Seeing Yun Chan's slightly awkward expression as she intently studied the route with her eyes down, Yuan Yao asked, "Yun Chan, are you sure you want to come with me?"
Instead of answering, Yun Chan asked, looking up at her, "Doesn't the princess want to come with me?"
Of course not!
Yuan Yao looked at Yun Chan's frail body: "I was worried that you would catch a cold if you went out of the palace in the middle of the night..."
Seeing that Yuan Yao was concerned about her, Yun Chan smiled almost imperceptibly before saying, "Don't worry, I know my own body."
"If I dare to go, nothing will happen."
Lin Xuan, standing to the side: "???"
Just now, the person who looked like he was about to cough up his last breath seemed like someone who wasn't Yun Chan at all.
Lin Xuan, his face tense, said angrily, "Quickly tell me where Princess Huairou and I will be meeting you tonight!"
So annoying!
He, the young marquis of the prestigious Dingjun Marquis's mansion, was actually assigned to do logistics!
He's destined to lead troops into battle, isn't he?
A plate of mangoes cut into small cubes was pushed in front of Lin Xuan.
Huairou smiled gently and said, "Young Marquis, I'll have to trouble you to protect me tonight."
Lin Xuan: "..."
That's great, he not only has to be in charge of logistics, but also serve as a bodyguard for the princess.
Lin Xuan reluctantly picked up a skewer, forked a piece of mango, and stuffed it into his mouth.
So sweet!
The sweet aroma of mangoes soothed his agitated mood.
Lin Xuan ate a mango, his voice muffled: "I don't care, you have to compensate me!"
"Yuan Xiaoyao, you'd better send me a cartload of mangoes to my residence later!"
Young Master Lin has a fiery temper and is arrogant, but he's still easy to coax...
Yuan Yao smiled faintly and said, "Okay!"
About an incense stick later, Xie Zhi and Huai Yao returned.
The two of them, each carrying a large bundle.
Xie Zhi sat down in the chair, picked up a glass of water, and gulped it down: "Here, share it."
As he spoke, he tossed the bundle to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan took it, opened it, and asked, "A rope? What are you going to do with a rope?"
"Tying people up," Xie Zhi replied. "To prevent them from moving around, it's easier to tie them up after they've been stunned with incense."
"Oh!" Lin Xuan immediately understood.
He took out four ropes and divided them into two parts.
Besides the rope, there were also many bottles and jars in the bundle.
Xie Zhi took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said to Yun Chan, "Some of these are medicinal powders, and some are medicinal liquids."
When they encountered someone, they would sprinkle drug powder on them. After entering Gu Yucha's boudoir, they would use the drug powder to knock her unconscious and then force-feed her more medicine.
"I guarantee that after using my medicine, she'll sleep like a log, and you can do whatever you want with her."
toss?
Yun Chan frowned: "Your Highness, please watch your words."
He's not that kind of person.
Looking at the serious-looking Yun Chan, Xie Zhi burst out laughing: "Hahaha..."
Huaiyao drank a large glass of water, opened the bundle on her back, and shook out a pile of night clothes and face masks...
Looking around, everything was pitch black.
Huairou leaned closer and curiously picked up a piece of veil.
Huaiyao rolled up her sleeves: "Royal sister, let me help you put on your face mask."
"Okay." Huairou smiled gently.
Huaiyao took out a face towel, covered Huairou's face, and tied it around her back: "That's enough."
Huairou asked happily, "Did you cover your face? Will anyone still recognize me?"
As she spoke, she showed her covered face to everyone.
Yuan Yao looked her over and said in a childish voice, "The face mask is too dark, and Sister Huairou is too fair!"
At night, you might not be able to recognize someone, but in a well-lit place, it's hard to say.
Looking into the study, besides Huairou, Yunchan was also very fair-skinned.
Moreover, Yuan Yao herself is very fair-skinned...
The black color of their night clothes makes their faces look even whiter!
Never mind, it's not like I'm going to be a spy.
Yuan Yao said, "Tonight, before leaving the palace, let's all put on some black makeup!"
"Huh?" Huairou said with some difficulty, "Fengwu Palace has a lot of white powder to make people look white, but it seems there isn't any to make them look black."
"That's easy." Xie Zhi grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "Just go to the kitchen and get some soot from the bottom of the pot, won't that do?"
Soot from the bottom of the pot?
How could he even think of that!
Yuan Yao's lips twitched as she listened.
Huairou happily said, "Your Highness's idea is good. When we return to the palace later, I will send someone to the kitchen."
Yuan Yao: "..."
The fair-skinned princess sister had her face covered in soot; the scene was simply terrifying.
If the Empress catches her doing this, won't she be punished by being confined to her home for a month?
Yuan Yao said, "In the Moonlight Palace, there are some dark-colored powders. Although they are not very pretty, they are better than soot from the bottom of a pot."
When we got back to the palace, I asked my father for a box.
In the evening, my guards will go to Fengwu Palace and Beichen Palace to pick up my two sisters, and we will meet them outside the palace.
Then we'll find a base and apply the powder to you again.
Hearing that the guards had gone to fetch someone, Huaiyao looked at Huairou and said, "Tonight, shall I sleep with my elder sister?"
"Alright." Huairou said with a hint of excitement, "In that case, Yao'er can just send someone to Fengwu Palace to pick us up."
Yuan Yao nodded, rubbing her soft little hands together, her bright black eyes blinking, and said happily, "Then, let's meet here at midnight tonight!"
