Chapter 462: Farce

Next, the two young eunuchs said respectfully, "I know, Master Li."

The young emperor raised his eyebrows and said to Xia Miaoyuan in a low voice, "It's the eunuchs who come to patrol every day. Let's hide first."

As he said that, he pulled Xia Miaoyuan up and looked for a place to hide in the courtyard.

But this is the Yangxin Palace. In order to prevent assassins, there is not even a tree in the courtyard. There is no suitable place to hide.

In a panic, the young emperor pulled Xia Miaoyuan to the main hall. When he reached the door of the main hall, he pushed it open.

The three of them hid in and closed the door.

Xia Miaoyuan had short legs. After being pulled by the young emperor, his two short legs kept moving. At this moment, his heart was still pounding.

She glanced at the little emperor in the dark and couldn't help complaining, "What kind of emperor

is Dai Viet? He's afraid of even the patrolling eunuchs." "When holding a palace banquet, he didn't stay at the palace banquet to show off, but sneaked out to play. He's just a naughty child."

At this time, the three patrolling eunuchs had already brought lanterns and pushed open the gate to come in.

"Master Li, we come to patrol the Yangxin Palace every day, and we don't think anyone will sneak in." A little eunuch said flatteringly.

Li Shishi raised his voice and said with a sense of pressure: "What do you know? The most unlikely place is the most likely. In short, as long as we are on duty for a day, we can't be careless."

"Shitou, you go check the main hall, Daluo, you go check the private room."

The little emperor and Xia Miaoyuan saw the three eunuchs busy in the courtyard through the window paper.

Li Shishi stood in the courtyard with a lantern, supervising two of his men, the two young eunuchs named Shitou and Daluo, who obediently checked the doors and windows of the room.

At the same time, under the bed in the inner room, Yue Haoyun was lying on the ground, his hands carefully stroking the bed board and bed rails.

Just now, he accidentally discovered that a word was carved under the bed rails.

He rubbed it carefully with his fingertips in the dark for a while, but unfortunately, he could not feel out what the word was.

However, he was sure that the word must have been carved by someone, and it was carved very sloppily.

Yangxin Palace has always been inhabited by the emperor.

And this bed, Yue Haoyun remembered, was newly made when his father got married.

So, only his father had slept on this bed.

Then, this word was most likely carved by his father.

It is very likely that this is a clue that his father secretly left under the supervision of Zhu Ling and others.

Thinking of this, Yue Haoyun felt his chest burning and his head a little confused.

He must see with his own eyes what the word is. He

wanted to open the fire stick to take a look, but at this moment, there were people in the courtyard and in the main hall.

If he turned on the tinder, what if he was discovered?

No, he couldn't open it now. He decided to wait and see after the people left.

At this time, in the courtyard.

Shitou walked to the main hall with a lantern. He illuminated it with the lantern and checked the doors and windows one by one.

When he checked the main hall door, he shouted, "Oh no! The lock of the hall door has been pried open!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Li and Daluo were frightened and hurried to the main hall door.

They saw that the copper lock of the hall door, which was originally locked, had been poked open and was casually hung on the door.

Manager Li stammered, "Don't panic, you two hurry in and check it out."

As he said that, he pushed his two men.

Shitou and Daluo were sweating profusely on their foreheads. Shitou trembled and said, "Master Li, I'm scared! Could there be an assassin hiding in here? Let's call the guards and wait and see!"

Master Li's hand holding the lantern was shaking uncontrollably, and the shadow

of the lantern was swaying. He frowned and kicked Shitou and Daluo hard on the buttocks.

The two little eunuchs were kicked in by him, and one stumbled and fell to the ground.

At this time, in the main hall, the little emperor, Xia Miaoyuan, and Sang Qi were standing upright in the center of the main hall.

Just now, they heard the eunuchs talking inside the door and wanted to come in for inspection. They thought they couldn't hide anyway, so they might as well face them openly.

At the same time, Yue Haoyun, who was hiding in the inner room, naturally heard the sound of the patrolling eunuchs coming in to check, and his heart tightened.

If a few eunuchs were responsible enough, and after seeing the little emperor and others in the main hall, they insisted on entering the inner room to check, wouldn't he be discovered.

In that case, not only would he miss the clues, but he would also be caught.

By then, it would implicate the second prince and others, and would also expose the truth of his fake death.

No, things must not develop to that point.

Thinking of this, Yue Haoyun made up his mind and decided to take a gamble.

He quickly took out a tinderbox, opened it, and blew it gently. The tinderbox immediately ignited, and the words engraved on the bedrail were illuminated. Yue Haoyun held his breath and looked at the words.

Then, he quickly closed the lid and extinguished the fire.

Then he crawled out from under the bed.

Yue Haoyun has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has good skills. So when he crawled out from under the bed, he tried to keep the movement as small as possible.

The main hall and the inner room are separated by only a door.

The hearing of the little emperor and Xia Miaoyuan are at the level of ordinary people, and they did not hear the movement made by Yue Haoyun.

But Sang Qi is a martial artist with excellent hearing. Even if the three eunuchs are noisy, she can hear the rustling sound coming from the inner room.

Sang Qi frowned and glanced towards the inner room.

She was basically sure that Yue Haoyun was in the inner room at this moment.

In an instant, her heart was pounding.

Looking at the main hall next to the gate, Shitou and Daluo were climbing up from the ground.

The two fell down and the lanterns went out.

They were already scared enough, and now without the light, they were even more scared.

The two men shouted with courage: "Who is in there? Get out of here!"

Li, the head of the palace, stood outside the palace gate and stretched the lantern in his hand towards the inside.

With the light of the lantern, Shitou Daluo finally saw clearly that there were three figures in the main hall, two tall and one short.

"Ah!" The two men broke down and shouted at the top of their lungs.

The little emperor frowned and said coldly: "Shut your dog mouths, it's me!"

The little emperor originally wanted to introduce himself directly, let the three eunuchs know that it was him, end this ridiculous scene quickly, and try to minimize the misunderstanding to avoid being known by the empress dowager.

Unexpectedly, when the three eunuchs heard "It's me", they not only did not calm down, but also made sharp noises at the same time.

"Ah! Ghost!" Shitou held his head and turned to run out.

"It's the late emperor!" Daluo was so scared that he fell down again. Not only could he not stand up, but he also tripped Shitou who wanted to run out.

Li, the head of the house, was also scared and shouted: "Late emperor, please spare my life! I didn't mean to disturb your peace!"
