When Yingxiang heard this, she looked at Xiao Zheng with confused eyes: "Sir, I don't understand what you want to say..."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he was a little disappointed and said, "I just asked casually."
But there is a wry smile in my heart, an unknown place? Since it is unknown to everyone, it is impossible for Yingxiang, a maid, to know about it. As for those who dare not mention it. If you don't even dare to mention Yingxiang, it's even more impossible to know.
Yingxiang saw Xiao Zheng showing disappointment. I felt slightly uncomfortable in my heart, knowing that my answer failed to satisfy the other party. She couldn't help but work hard to develop her not-so-smart mind. After thinking for a long time, she finally agreed and tentatively said: "Sir, I heard something from my previous sister. I just don't know if I can help you."
"Tell me about it." Xiao Zheng's heart moved. Here comes the spirit.
"Before working with the prince, I worked in His Majesty's kitchen for a period of time. The sisters there would sit and chat in their spare time." After organizing her vocabulary, Yingxiang said seriously. "I heard one of the sisters say that when she first entered the palace, she took the wrong path when delivering food because she was not familiar with the terrain. As a result, she was captured by two palace guards before she even got close..."
"Take it?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said excitedly. "Caught?"
"Yes, yes." Seeing Xiao Zheng's high interest, Yingxiang felt courageous. "The sister said she was imprisoned for a month just because she went the wrong way. She was also interrogated by several waves of people. Finally, she was fined half a year's bonus before she was released."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he knew that this was something he wanted to know about. I couldn't help but hold back my excitement. He spoke slowly and said, "Then do you know where it is?"
When Yingxiang heard this, she had an expression on her face: "I was so scared that I didn't dare to listen. And it's been many years, and now I can only remember the approximate location."
After getting the address from Yingxiang, Xiao Zheng drank the tea in the cup in one breath. Then he straightened his face and said meticulously: "Yingxiang. Can you guarantee that our conversation today will not be known to a third person?"
Yingxiang was startled and said nervously: "Can't even the prince say it?"
"No." Xiao Zheng shook his head.
Yingxiang clenched her little hands into fists, nodded and said, "Okay sir, I promise you."
Knowing that she had concerns, Xiao Zheng smiled and comforted him: "Yingxiang, you should know what I am here for, right?"
"Not very clear." Yingxiang shook her head and said.
"" Xiao Zheng felt his face burning.
"But I believe that sir is here to help the prince." Yingxiang added.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded and said seriously. "I'm just here to help the prince."
"That" Yingxiang said rather uneasily. "Are you in danger?"
After a short conversation, Xiao Zheng left a very good impression on Yingxiang. Moreover, they are both orphans, and Yingxiang feels some inexplicable closeness to her. I don’t want anything to happen to Xiao Zheng.
"As long as you can keep it a secret, I'll be fine." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"I definitely won't tell you. Don't worry, sir." Yingxiang nodded heavily. The pretty face is serious.
"Then go and do your work." Xiao Zheng smiled and stood up.
After watching Yingxiang leave, Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry to act. The sky is blue and the sun is white, and the emperor is dead. The guards in the palace must be extremely tight. No matter how good he is, it's hard for him to remain silent. So he had to wait until late at night before taking action.
Throughout the morning, Xiao Zheng either stayed in the room watching TV or went to the back garden to enjoy flowers. It rained continuously, intermittently for a long time. He had no intention of stopping. At noon, we had lunch under Yingxiang's service. Took another nap. When I woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
"The prince hasn't come back yet?" Xiao was sitting in the living room drinking tea and asked Yingxiang who was wiping the table.
"Not yet." Yingxiang also had a hint of worry on her face. I didn't sleep all night last night. I went out again early in the morning and still haven't returned home this afternoon. It has to make people think more.
Xiao Zheng nodded, put down the teacup and said, "I'll go back to the room and watch TV for a while. Let me know when the prince will come back. I have something to talk to her about."
"Yes sir."
Going upstairs, Xiao Zheng opened the window and stared out the window. Dense lines of rain poured down. The floor was okay, but some of the soil where flowers and plants were planted was soaked into mud. This is not convenient for Xiao Zheng to move at night. It’s not that the rain will affect the mission. Rather, the mud will leave footprints and expose his whereabouts.
Fortunately, after dinner, the heavy rain gradually stopped. Although there is water in low areas on the ground, it is not harmful. As long as Xiao Zheng pays attention, he is not afraid of leaving traces.
Eight o'clock at night.
There was still no news from Prince Ling Lainei, nor did he return home. At this moment, even Yingxiang couldn't sit still.
"Sir, when will the prince come back? He has been out all day." Yingxiang asked very worriedly.
"Don't be too nervous." Xiao Zheng was a little confused, but not worried.
On the first day after the death of the Emperor, even if Prince Tianxiong had any thoughts. It is impossible to kill the killer suddenly. I definitely have to take care of the funeral arrangements before attacking. Now, we may be in a stalemate.
After being comforted by Xiao Zheng, Yingxiang absentmindedly went back to the kitchen to clean up. Xiao Zhengze went back to his room to rest and told Yingxiang not to disturb him if nothing happened.
However, Yingxiang, who was staying in the kitchen, thought carefully to herself: If it's okay, I won't and won't dare to go to your room...
Ten o'clock at night.
When the moonlight was at its weakest, Xiao Zheng opened the window and jumped down.
Fortunately, this is only the second floor. If it were the third or fourth floor, I would have to avoid Yingxiang and go through the back door. It saves a lot of trouble.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Xiao Zheng avoided the sight of the palace maids, patrols and some passers-by. Approach the address provided by Yingxiang with all your strength.
Five minutes later, Xiao Zheng arrived at his destination. But in the dark, I saw two guards in straight suits...
Judging from their standing postures and sharp eyes, there must be an extremely important person or area guarded behind the arched door. If she stood in front of them, she might be subdued on the spot just like the sister Yingxiang mentioned. Then put into confinement.
He paused for a moment. Xiao Zheng walked around the main entrance and turned over a wall that was about three meters away. Then he quickly hid under the shadow of a big tree. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to approach a three-story villa in the courtyard.
The front yard is spacious with unobstructed views. Except for a few big trees and a large garden as cover, Xiao Zheng couldn't find many borrowed props. After lurking here for about three minutes, two groups of guards patrolled by. An average of one and a half minutes.
Who exactly lives in the villa
What exactly is this place
There are such strict guards
Calculating the right moment, when the wind speed in the air suddenly weakened, Xiao Zheng leaned out, like a cheetah in the dark, running towards the position he had chosen in advance!
