"...Your mermaid king is such a scumbag." I wanted to fly higher, but after holding it in for a long time I really couldn't hold it in anymore, so I blurted out these words.
Cang Ji didn't think there was anything wrong with his scolding, and even nodded in approval.
"Have you looked for the two princes?" Ye Mi felt that there was something strange about the disappearance of the eldest prince and the youngest prince.
According to the routine, it is most likely the current queen's fault.
She never thought that two mature and powerful mermaids would disappear inexplicably.
"Your Highness and I have secretly searched for it many times." But to no avail.
The second half of the sentence was not uttered, but his expression said it all.
"Then do you know where Youruo is imprisoned?"
"have no idea."
"Did she tell you where the seal is?"
"……No."
The simplest and most brutal method Ye Mi could think of was to directly use the seal to exchange for Youruo.
But now they knew neither where she was being held nor where the seal was.
"When was the guard at the Mermaid Palace most lax?" Since they knew nothing, they could only find out on their own.
After all, they had to go to the palace for their mission.
"The guards of the Mermaid Palace are usually changed every hour, except for the period from Haishi (9pm to 11pm) to Yinshi (3am to 4am) when they are changed every two hours, that is, at the end of Zishi and the beginning of Choushi (1am)."
Mermaids have a similar schedule to humans and they also need to sleep at night.
The time when people change shifts is the most relaxing, especially at night when most people are extremely sleepy.
It is best for them to act when they are in a bad mental state.
Cang Ji used the ancient time system, so they were confused.
Only after Ye Mi thought for a long time did he dig out the ten hours of time from his mind and translated it for everyone, and they finally understood.
Mijiu: "Then we should go earlier and wait at 10 o'clock. If there are lazy guards, we can enter early. If that doesn't work, we can wait for their shift change and find an opportunity to sneak into the main palace."
What he said is indeed a good idea.
But Ye Mi has a better, but also more risky way.
She took out a wooden box from the package and opened it, revealing a stack of ten pieces of something that looked like talismans.
This box was given to Ye Mi when he came out of the study of the Lord of Fuguang City.
I don’t know what he was thinking at the time. He knew that Ye Mi had camouflage skills, but he still gave her this thing.
【Disguise Talisman】
Quality: Blue
Category: Other
Effect: Draw the disguise you want on the talisman. After completing it, stick it on your heart and it will turn into the disguise you want for one hour.
Introduction: Although it is not as powerful as the camouflage skill, it can still be used. It should be noted that if the talisman paper falls or is damaged during the camouflage period, the camouflage will immediately become invalid. In addition, this camouflage can only change the appearance, but not the voice or clothing, and does not have any skills of the camouflage object (for example, turning into a bird but not having the flying skill). During the camouflage period, any of the skills of the self can be used, and it will not affect the camouflage status.
With this thing, they can disguise themselves as guards or other people who can enter the main palace and sneak in directly.
The only drawback is that it cannot speak, so if it encounters a familiar fish, it will be easily exposed.
But this is safer than them sneaking in without any disguise.
Cang Ji was worried about attracting the attention of the Mermaid King, so he didn't dare to make any other moves, but it was not difficult for him to get the list of patrol guards tonight.
He knew most of the people in the Mermaid Palace, and as long as he had a list of names, he could draw what they looked like.

late at night.
Several mermaid guards leaned tiredly against the pillars in front of the palace, their eyelids twitching up and down, and every move they made revealed how sleepy they were.
If it were in the past, Cang Ji would definitely step forward and scold them not to be lazy.
But now he really wanted these people to sleep with him as soon as possible.
Perhaps his prayers worked, as the three guards at the main entrance closed their eyes one after another.
Ye Mi hesitated for a moment, but finally took the initiative to hold the hand of the person next to him.
Unlike her hand, Yan Qiu's palm is so large that he can easily and completely wrap her hand.
He felt Ye Mi's nervousness, and when no one else was paying attention, he raised their clasped hands and gently kissed her fingertips.
Ye Mi:……!
"Let's leave first." Ye Mi's ears turned red, and he took his people away as if escaping.
Her soul-stepping skill can only carry one person at a time.
So she and Yan Qiu sneaked in first while they were being lazy, and the rest of the people became mermaids taking shifts, waiting for the time to come so that they could send the guards away.
The distance of ten meters was neither close nor far. It took Ye Mi only three times for him to reach the gate of the main palace.
"To the left." Ye Mi followed his gaze and looked at Fang Qi. There was a pillar on the left that could hide their figures.
After the two of them hid here and made sure that there was no one around, Ye Mi reported a message to everyone in the team channel.
Her eyes went from dim to clear, and her ponytailed head leaned towards Yan Qiu.
"Cang Ji said that the palace of the Mermaid King is in the middle, and the palaces of the Third Prince and the Queen are on the left and right. Which one should we go to first?"
Although the mermaid king rests with the queen every day, they each have their own rooms.
The palace on the left originally belonged to the eldest prince.
But some time after the eldest prince disappeared, the Mermaid King cleared out the things inside and let the third prince move in.
This kind of behavior is really disheartening.
"On the right." Yan Qiu looked at her whorl of hair and spoke softly. His breath hit her hair while he spoke, causing her black hair to sway slightly.
On the right is the queen’s palace. If the queen is with the mermaid king every day, then she should not be in the palace at this time.
There was no one in the palace, and servants usually didn't dare to enter the palace casually, so it would be more convenient for them to move around.
"T."
The main hall is very large, with a throne in the center symbolizing the king.
Behind the throne was the area leading to three palaces, and the two men headed all the way to the right.
In order to save mana, Ye Mi was mostly carried around by Yan Qiu using his Qinggong skills.
The skill of stepping on spirits will only be used when you encounter a position where you cannot move forward or when there are people nearby.
Because it was their first time here, and the paths were complicated, the two of them took a long time to finally arrive at the back of the queen's palace.
Ye Mi didn't want to stay here for long because there would be a maid guarding the night.
But she happened to run into two maids having a furtive conversation behind a decorative coral reef.
