Chapter 396 Nighttime Investigation of the Villa (1/2)



Su Ruojin didn't care at all whether others were looking for the Medical Sage's disciple or not. Anyway, countless people in the Great Chu were looking for the Medical Sage, but who could actually find her?

She and Xiao Yanchu looked at one of the documents the secret guards had found: Piaoyun Garden, Princess Yuening's private villa. Almost every three days, Princess Yuening would stay at this villa for one night.

The guards investigated and found it to be just an ordinary villa, with nothing unusual about it.

However, it was unusual for a princess to visit the villa every three days.

Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance, and both understood each other's thoughts.

Night falls.

A few barks came from inside Piaoyun Garden, but soon returned to silence.

Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu jumped down from the wall, and two black dogs lay unconscious on the ground.

The two carefully avoided the guards of the villa and began searching inside.

No matter how you look at it, it is indeed just an ordinary villa.

It was late at night, and the villa was very quiet, as if few people lived there.

Finally, the two arrived at an artificial lake behind the villa.

The lake isn't very big, but it's big enough for people to visit. It's likely that Princess Yuening had it dug out for her leisure.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake, and many lotus leaves are scattered in the lake. When the lotus flowers bloom, the lake will be full of lotus flowers, and the scenery will be extremely beautiful.

“It seems she didn’t hide anyone here,” Xiao Yanchu said.

The villa has been searched thoroughly, and the lake can be seen at a glance; there's nothing unusual about it.

A princess of a country would certainly own many villas, which might be hidden in other places.

Su Ruojin shook her head, disagreeing with Xiao Yanchu's opinion.

"It's not the season for lotus flowers to bloom now. Apart from being close to the city, this villa is nothing special. Why does Yuening come here every three days?"

“It’s precisely because it’s close that it’s convenient for her to come over,” Xiao Yanchu said from another angle.

He and Su Ruojin have now developed a tacit understanding. When they encounter problems, they will debate and analyze them from different angles to find the final answer.

"No, that's not right. If you were Princess Yuening, what would be the reason you visit this villa every three days?" Su Ruojin asked.

Xiao Yanchu tried to put himself in Yue Ning's shoes and find a reasonable reason for her: "If it were me, I might come here to find peace and quiet in order to escape the complicated affairs of the capital."

"She is just a princess, she has no need to bear any state affairs, and she doesn't need to seek peace and quiet."

“Then there’s only one possibility left: something I want to do or someone I want to see is here,” Xiao Yanchu said.

What can you do in a villa?

Su Ruojin looked back at the entire villa once more, finally settling on the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she remembered the cave on Shenyu Mountain. "Let's go down into the water and take a look."

Xiao Yanchu:......

"Ah Jin, it's nighttime now, you can't see much in the water, and the water's cold..."

Although it is almost April, the lake water temperature is still very low. What if Ajin gets cold if she goes into the water?

Before Xiao Yanchu could finish speaking, Su Ruojin had already jumped into the water.

Xiao Yanchu had no choice but to follow.

Alas, having a queen who is too capable isn't always a good thing.

If Su Ruojin couldn't swim, she naturally wouldn't dare to go into the water.

Fortunately, the moon is fairly bright tonight, and with its light, we can see a little bit underwater, but visibility is still extremely poor.

Su Ruojin glanced at it and then began to swim towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

There is no bridge over this lake; you have to take a boat to get to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Although there were boats moored on the shore, the two of them had sneaked into the villa, so they couldn't just openly row over there, or they would be discovered by the villa's guards immediately.
