Black Owl raised an eyebrow, a knowing glint in his narrow, almond-shaped eyes, and left.
He wasn't worried that the beggar would outwardly comply with his wishes but inwardly defy him;
Those who struggle at the bottom of society understand the meaning of "duty" the most; they have no capital or room to be two-faced.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuang entered a dark room in a side courtyard.
In the dark room, Ji Fengyao also kept a lot of precious medicinal herbs, which were things that she couldn't conveniently put away because she was halfway through her research on new drugs.
There are also small medicine bottles containing powder or pills, as well as loose packets of medicine;
Lin Shuang didn't dare touch any of these things.
She knew better than anyone how potent the poison Ji Fengyao made was. If she accidentally got a little bit on it and died here, it would be such a terrible injustice for her.
Lin Shuang circled around the herbs, powders, and bottles, then moved to the back of a box in the corner, trying to curl up and hide inside, afraid that if the bandit, Xi Que, or Bai Lu suddenly came in, they would see her.
The room was dark, so Lin Shuang could only roughly estimate the time. By the time she was starving, she figured it was already dark outside.
The Ninth Prince stuck tightly to those bandits;
Therefore, the bandits, magpies, and Bailu never came to the dark room at night.
Lin Shuang confidently and boldly circled around from behind the box again, rubbed her legs which were numb from squatting, and then tiptoed to the entrance of the dark room, quietly sneaking out.
Her goal was very clear.
First, I'll go to the small kitchen to find something to eat to fill my stomach.
Then return to the dark room, and wait until midnight to go through the secret passage behind Ji Fengyao's bedroom to see if there is a chance to obtain her or the Ninth Prince's storage ring.
If the bandits don't have a chance;
She then sneaked into the rooms of Magpie and White Dew to retrieve their storage rings.
If she keeps waiting like this, she should be able to get one of the storage rings in a few days, then her trip will not have been in vain.
As long as she obtains anything related to the interests of that bandit and the Ninth Prince, she will have the confidence to approach either the mysterious man in black or any master in the palace!
With these pleasant fantasies, Lin Shuang suppressed her fear and slipped to the door of the dark room to peek outside: her estimation was correct, it was indeed dark outside.
Everything was under her control!
Hearing that it was quiet outside, Lin Shuang felt a little more at ease.
She easily found her way to the small kitchen.
The small kitchen was now completely silent, just as she remembered.
Lin Shuang took out a tinderbox from her bosom and blew out a few sparks.
By the light of that tiny spark, she saw a bamboo cover upside down on the counter near the window in the small kitchen.
The fact that the cover is upside down indicates that there is uneaten or uneaten food inside, and it is used to keep out insects or rodents.
Lin Shuang was secretly delighted and quickly walked over.
She lifted the cover and, by the pale moonlight from the window, saw three or four plates full of food inside: pastries, braised meat, mixed vegetables, and a whole roasted chicken.
It seems that bandit didn't have a good appetite today, as he left so much good stuff behind!
Lin Shuang chuckled inwardly, in a good mood, and skillfully took a pair of clean silver chopsticks from the box next to her, and began to eat heartily.
The bandit had a poor appetite, but she had a very good one.
Of the three or four dishes, she ate about half of each, except for the whole chicken which she couldn't touch. She then carefully rearranged the remaining food, making it look as if it had never been touched.
She knew those idiots in the small kitchen best; they were incredibly stupid.
They would never notice anything amiss with the plates that she rearranged!
