Wuzhu entered the palace for the last time five days ago, and confirmed that the key was hidden somewhere in Hanguang Hall, so Fan Xian first explored here. Maybe it was too long, the Hanguang Palace where the Empress Dowager lived was quiet and peaceful, the maids who were watching the night were all asleep, and the little eunuch who was in charge of the censer was also a little drowsy.
A very faint fragrance wafted over, no matter whether it was the little eunuch or the maid, they all fell asleep.
In the dim light, Fan Xian slid into the bedroom along a relatively dark corner, looking at the extravagant big bed in the distance, frowning slightly, the old woman covered with a thin silk quilt Man, is the Queen Mother
He didn't have time to sigh too much at this moment, and he didn't want to express the boring fantasy that history might be changed by his own hands. He just calmly walked forward and walked to the side of the bed, without even looking at the person on the bed who might be the whole person. The most powerful woman in the world.
Calmness is the most important quality Wu Zhu and Fei Jie taught Fan Xian.
There was no hidden master as expected. In Fan Xian's plan in advance, he always thought that in the palace, as Gu Long wrote, there would always be invisible killers who would never see the light around the emperor and empress dowager.
He didn't look at where the treasure might be hidden in Hanguang Palace, but slid directly under the Empress Dowager's bed, closed his eyes, and began to stroke the wooden boards under the bed with his palms. The wood is excellent wood, but his current state The behavior is a bit weird.
Not long after, he opened his eyes in the darkness under the bed, his eyes were bright, and a trace of absurd joy flashed across them.
In Danzhou, I hid the nameless kung fu formula in a secret compartment under the bed. In The Deer and Cauldron, Mao Dongzhu also hid the forty-two chapters of scriptures in the secret compartment under the bed. The Queen Mother of Qing Kingdom actually had a secret compartment under the bed.
Human imagination, at certain times, really seems very poor.
With light force, the dagger drove in from the side, the blade broke through the wood without a sound, but the queen mother on the bed turned over. The old man mumbled something. Fan Xian was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard it, and he was still operating steadily. After a while, he took down the hidden compartment. He didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, but his eyesight was very strong at night. So it was simple and good luck to see something like that.
There are no jewels or banknotes in the secret compartment, only a white cloth, a letter, and... a key.
Looking at the shape of the key, Fan Xian frowned slightly, with a strange expression on his face. He didn't take out the white cloth and letter, but put the key in his pocket, and then slid out.
A moment later, he appeared under the palace wall again.

After getting into the carriage and looking at Wang Qinian, Fan Xian said softly, "What I need is speed."
"Yes." Wang Qinian didn't know what the mission was today, he only knew that he had to pick up the adults at this street corner, and then go to see the person he invited back.
"I don't want anyone to know I'm in this carriage."
"Don't worry, my lord. This is a car borrowed from the Privy Council. No one dares to stop it, and no one knows."
"Very good." Fan Xian relaxed his mind a little, leaned halfway on his seat, and frowned. Today, he was insane with fake alcohol, and then he had to visit the palace at night, which had a great impact on his spirit.
The car arrived at a certain courtyard, a courtyard that Fan Xian was completely unfamiliar with. The two got out of the car quietly, put on their hoods again, and walked directly to a secret room underground. Wang Qinian said in a muffled voice, "My lord, this is the locksmith." .”
In front of the two of them, on the small wooden table were many metal tools that the two of them could not recognize at all, shining faintly under the light. The owner of the tool is a middle-aged man who looks a bit honest and dull. His face is iron-black, but he is smiling honestly.
Locksmith is a profession and a title, but this middle-aged man named locksmith is not just because of his appearance, his name is called locksmith, so we can know the extent of his craftsmanship.
Fan Xian nodded and said to Wang Qinian, "Go out and wait."
Wang Qinian left the secret room as soon as he bowed his head. He knew there were some things he would never know, and that was the safest thing.
"It's about the interests of the country and the court. As the Privy Council, I request you to contribute to the country." Fan Xian said calmly to the locksmith through the mask on his face.
The locksmith's heart skipped a beat, thinking of so many foreign missions coming to Beijing recently, he immediately thought he had guessed something, and hurriedly saluted, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Be fast and be accurate." Fan Xian took out the key from his belt, "It must be exactly the same."
The locksmith took it over, took a closer look, frowned and said, "There is no such lock in the world."
"I don't care, I just want you to copy this key. Can or can't?"
"It's difficult, this key is too complicated. Even if it is made in exactly the same shape, no one will be able to detect it, but I cannot guarantee that the copied key can open the corresponding lock."
"Very good, let's start." Fan Xian was overjoyed when he heard the answer, but his voice was still cold.
The locksmith was nervously duplicating the keys, and there was the sound of grinding iron from time to time in the secret room. Fan Xian also looked nervously at the door of the secret room. He didn't know how long Wu Zhu could hold old eunuch Hong. The place where he lives is too close to the Hanguang Palace, if the old eunuch Hong returns to the palace, it will be difficult to put back the key he copied.
Finally, the locksmith finished the work profusely, and handed the silver key to Fan Xian. Fan Xian compared the two keys and found that the copied one was exactly the same. Rust spots are almost indistinguishable. He finally relaxed a little, and asked with a slight smile, "What was your occupation before?"
His face was covered with a black cloth, so this smile looked a little weird.
"Small man... a thief." The locksmith was sweating profusely, not knowing what he was facing after completing such a secret job.
Fan Xian thought in his heart, it turned out to be a colleague, squinting at the tools and molds left on the table, frowned, walked to the table, hummed, the domineering energy in his body rushed out, and lifted the mold in his hand All crumbled to pieces.
After telling Wang Qinian to destroy those metal tools and sending the locksmith to the south to stay for a while, Fan Xian was relieved and set foot on the road to re-enter the palace.
※※※
Re-entering the Hanguang Palace, the sweet fragrance has faded, the night breeze is still blowing gently, and the atmosphere of peace and harmony fills the palace. Fan Xian slid under the bed like a ghost, put back the copied key, took out the adhesive on his body, rearranged the hidden compartment, and then quietly exited the palace.
I don't know how long it had been since the sound of the last drumbeat, Fan Xian knew it was time for him to leave. But at this moment, his eyes fell on a small courtyard on the other side of the palace. That is the Guangxin Palace, where the eldest princess lives.
Fan Xian's actions today were perfectly arranged. If he didn't want to cause complications, he should immediately leave the palace and wait for things to gradually ferment. But he didn't know whether he was dazzled by the joy of getting the key, or because of something else, Fan Xian's next action was somewhat unexpected.
He believes that under the cover of darkness, even if it is as fortified as a palace, it is possible for him to walk freely. Walking along the corridor, relying on Wu Zhu and Fei Jie, the two dark masters, the night-moving ability, it is extremely difficult to get close. On the way to Guangxin Palace, he even passed a yawning court lady on the way.
The lights in the Guangxin Palace were still on, obviously there were people inside. The Guangxin Palace with its own courtyard was not the same as the other palaces in the Imperial Palace, and there was a small wall outside the palace.
As the saying goes, all rivers and rivers have come, so are you afraid of this stinky ditch? However, Fan Xian knew that many peerless masters ended up dying at the hands of mediocre people, so he carefully walked around to the back of the palace, closed his eyes and calmed down, and climbed up the thick pillar.
The palm prints landed on the smooth cylinder. Fan Xian's energy was exhausted today, and he couldn't help being a little irritable, so it seemed a bit hard to climb up. Carefully went up to the roof of the Guangxin Palace, not daring to boldly uncover the tiles to peep, but squinted his eyes to look for the extremely hard-to-find bright tiles among the glazed tiles.
Maybe it was his luck, the roof of the palace didn't need bright tiles at all, but the eldest princess is a person who likes the sunlight to enter the house, so Fan Xian found a piece, squatted down very carefully, bowed his head, and ensured every simple movement. Stable, so as not to make any sound.
Under the bright tiles, the lights were not on, but with Fan Xian's eyesight, he could still see and hear clearly. He narrowed his eyes, knowing that he guessed right, and he was really lucky.
…
…
The eldest princess Li Yunrui leaned on the couch, her face was full of laziness, she looked charming and charming, she was only wearing a white jacket, under the thin silk, her body curves were exposed, and there was a bit of youthfulness in her maturity. If the men in the world saw her attire, they would all bow down under those bare feet.
As His Majesty's closest sister, she naturally doesn't need to use her beauty to seduce her, and the person in front of her is seventy years old. Before tonight, she was called the world's number one moral writer, and she is not a character who can be seduced by sex .
Zhuang Mohan coughed twice: "The foreign ministers are done, I hope the eldest princess will live up to the agreement."
The eldest princess played with the fake scroll that she had spent a lot of money on, and smiled sweetly. The room was full of spring, and she said softly and timidly: "I want Master Zhuang to trample that Fan Xian to the ground, so that he will have no more face in the capital." Go down, Master Zhuang, can you do it?"
