Chapter 9 Breaking into the Regent’s Palace at night and kidnapping the Regent?
Three days passed in a flash. During these three days, Lan Xiyue did not go out on the surface, but she actually used the excuse that she was sleeping in the house, disguised herself, and climbed over the wall to go out once.
Since she didn't have much silver bills on her and the herbs were expensive, Lan Xiyue bought some herbs to make hallucinogenic drugs. Even Chuchun and Chuxia didn't notice that she had gone out.
Today, she was lying leisurely on a rattan chair in the yard, thinking about her plans for the evening.
Chu Qiu put the tea and snacks aside and whispered, "Miss, you haven't been out for three days. Do you want to go out for a walk today?"
Chuchun, who was listening, frowned. "Chuqiu, don't you know that the master forbids the young lady from going out? And you actually encouraged her to go out? What are you thinking?"
Chu Qiu knelt on the ground with a plop. "I just saw that the young lady was frowning, and I thought that if she went out for some fresh air, she would feel better. I didn't have any other thoughts."
Chuchun snorted and turned to look at Lan Xiyue. "Miss, don't listen to Chuqiu. If you're bored, I'll get you some storybooks to pass the time. The eldest young master sent quite a few yesterday."
Lan Xiyue glanced at Chuqiu who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "Chuqiu, Chudong, please step back. Chuchun and Chuxia are here to serve you. Don't come near me, you're just an eyesore!"
"Yes," Chuqiu and Chudong responded timidly and retreated.
Lan Xiyue flipped through the storybook and found it very boring. Either a rich lady eloped with a poor scholar, or they eloped. The ancient writers were too uncreative.
Lan Xiyue fell asleep while watching it. It was just a lullaby, just a way to pass the time.
When Lan Xiyue woke up, it was already dark. After dinner, she lay on the bed and continued to read a boring notebook to pass the time.
Before she knew it, it was late at night. Lan Xiyue threw away the notebook, stood up and stretched.
"System, open the mall."
“Ding Dong!”
Lan Xiyue looked at the transparent template in front of her and took a close look at the items in the mall for the first time. The "pistol" in the last column instantly attracted her. When she saw the redemption points, she was speechless.
"System, a pistol for 5,000 points? That's expensive. Can we bargain?"
System: "Host, you think this is a market, and you're still bargaining. Items in the mall are not bargainable. Besides, host, you only have 300 points, how can you bargain?"
"I'm just asking if I can bargain. If not, forget it!"
Lan Xiyue looked at the dagger and nightgown on it, gritted her teeth, and said with great pain: "System, exchange the dagger and nightgown."
System: "Alright, the Nightgown is 10 points, the Dagger is 100 points, after deducting 110 points, the host still has 190 points left!"
A dagger and a nightgown appeared in Lan Xiyue's hands. She put the dagger on her waist, tied her dress, put on the nightgown, and wrapped her entire head, leaving only a pair of lively eyes exposed, making it impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman.
System: "Master, it's the middle of the night, and you're dressed like a thief?"
"What kind of thief? I'm going to do something big tonight."
System: "Are you really going to be a thief?"
Lan Xiyue left the yard, climbed over the wall in a few steps, and left the Marquis' Mansion.
Lan Xiyue came to the Regent's Palace and walked to a corner.
System: "Master, you came to the Regent's Palace? What do you want to do?"
Lan Xiyue looked at the high walls of the Prince Regent's Palace and said, "Tell me, is there any chance that I can sneak into the Prince Regent's Palace and kidnap the Prince Regent?"
System: "Warning, host, don't joke with your life!"
Lan Xiyue curled her lips and said, "After all, I was a secret agent in my previous life, and my skills were pretty good. After these three days of rest, I think my skills have almost recovered."
System: "Master, it's not that I look down on you, but the ancient internal energy and lightness skills are far beyond the reach of your past life. The Regent is the most powerful person in this world, so naturally his martial arts skills are also the most formidable."
"So, System, let's make a deal. Can I buy it on credit? Give me the pistol first, and I'll make up for it when I earn points."
System: "Haha! Host, you are really calculating."
"Just tell me if it's okay?"
"no!"
Lan Xiyue stopped talking nonsense with the system, quietly stepped back a few steps, took a deep breath, and then rushed forward like an arrow.
Her petite figure moved back and forth on the wall several times, successfully climbing over the heavily guarded walls of the Regent's Palace.
After entering the palace, Lan Xiyue remained highly alert.
She keenly noticed that there was a lot of faint aura in the darkness around her, which was obviously emitted by the secret guards hiding in the dark.
She carefully avoided people in the dark. In this way, Lan Xiyue relied on her extraordinary skills and quick reaction ability to narrowly avoid the enemies lurking in the dark time and time again. The journey was very thrilling. She almost exposed her whereabouts several times, but fortunately she was always able to escape danger at the last moment.
Just as Lan Xiyue was secretly rejoicing, she walked into a quiet courtyard.
What's strange is that there is not even a trace of the dark aura in this yard, which means that there are no secret guards guarding this place.
The system couldn't help but ask, "Host, are you really planning to kidnap the Regent?"
"Of course. If it weren't for this purpose, why would I risk such a huge risk to sneak into the Regent's Palace, which is like a dangerous place? And spend 110 points?"
System: "My Lord, you must be extremely careful! Don't let your life end prematurely!"
"Don't be such a pessimist. I've been preparing for the past three days, refining a super psychedelic drug. Even the most powerful person can't resist my psychedelic drug."
System: “…” Is it really that powerful?
The medicine made by my aunt must be effective!
Lan Xiyue looked around. This Regent's Palace was too big. She couldn't find the main courtyard yet.
There are no secret guards here, so she will take a rest for a while, relax, and go out to look for them later!
Just then, Lan Xiyue heard the sound of water. She immediately became alert and walked inside carefully.
What the hell did she see? She was still trying to find the main courtyard. It was really easy to find. But this man, soaking in the hot springs in the middle of the night, is he sure there is nothing wrong with him?
The system's excited voice rang in Lan Xiyue's ears: "Host, the Regent is taking a hot spring bath. This is a good opportunity. Go up and kidnap him! Go!"
"...Don't you look down on me? Why are you so excited now?"
System: "I'm cheering for the host!"
“…”
Lan Xiyue's gaze was fixed on the hot spring pool not far away. There, Mo Liyuan was resting with his eyes closed, surrounded by a light mist, like a banished immortal who had descended to earth, untainted by the dust of the world.
“What a feast for the eyes!”
Lan Xiyue did not forget the real purpose of coming here tonight. She suppressed the chaotic thoughts and distractions in her heart.
Her delicate body trembled violently, and her originally light steps instantly became as fast as a storm.
In the blink of an eye, she was like an arrow shot from a bow, rushing straight towards the steaming and smoky hot spring pool not far away.
