What Yun Ruoyan didn't expect was that she followed the man in a bunt with a monstrous aura all the way to the gate of Prince Ming's Mansion.
Yun Ruoyan hid in the opposite corner, seeing the man with the badge for entering the mansion, he easily entered the mansion.
"Prince Ming's Mansion is indeed a place where filth is hidden." Yun Ruoyan said inwardly.
Generally, there are only gatekeepers guarding the gate of a high official's mansion, and there are only two officers and soldiers guarding the gate of Prince Yu's mansion in Limo, but there are actually six soldiers guarding the gate of Prince Ming's mansion, which shows that the defense in the mansion may be more stringent.
For the convenience of movement, Yun Ruoyan had already abandoned the mutated flame horse at the city gate, and now she randomly found an inn nearby to settle down, ate something, and then recharged her energy.
When the night fell, Yun Ruoyan came to a remote wall of Ming Palace in night clothes, and quietly climbed over the wall and entered.
As soon as her feet landed, a group of seven or eight palace guards passed by, and Yun Ruoyan dodged and hid behind a rockery.
Yun Ruoyan observed the surroundings, and found that she was in the backyard of the palace, not far away was the residence of the owner of the palace.
The impression of Yun Ruoyan in Prince Ming's Mansion was all learned from Zhuo Yifeng, but what Zhuo Yifeng said was not clear, she needed to find someone to understand the situation in Prince Yun's Mansion.
So when the second team of patrolling guards passed by, Yun Ruoyan came to the back of the last guard with great speed, and patted him on the shoulder unexpectedly.
As soon as the guard turned his head and said "who" before he could say it, Yun Ruoyan waved at him very quickly, and a colorless and odorless ecstasy sprinkled on the man's face.
Yun Ruoyan dodged, and disappeared into nothingness in a flash.
"A Jin, what's the matter with you?" The guard in front stopped and asked the guard A Jin who had fallen behind.
"Oh, I'm in a hurry to make it easier for you, you guys go first and I'll catch up with you later," said the guard Ajin.
After the guards left, Ah Jin went straight to the rockery, facing Yun Ruoyan in the shadows, with a dull expression.
"Where does your prince live?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
"Scholarly Garden in the middle of the backyard." A Jin pointed to the backyard, there was a building higher than other buildings in the backyard in the night, it should be Shuxiangyuan.
"Do you know where the Ming Palace keeps the secret files?" Yun Ruoyan asked again.
"I don't know." A Jin replied with a dull expression: "However, there is a forbidden area in Shuxiang Garden that outsiders are not allowed to enter. All confidential items in Prince Ming's Mansion are probably stored there."
"Okay." Yun Ruoyan nodded and asked again: "Then do you know that there is a doctor surnamed Zeng in the palace, who was invited by your King Ming to treat infertility for your princess."
"Yes, he lives in a side courtyard." Ah Jin replied.
Yun Ruoyan thought for a while and saw that there was nothing to ask, so she said to the guard A Jin, "Go back to sleep now, and forget everything that happened when you wake up."
Ajin nodded with dull eyes, then turned and left.
Yun Ruoyan thought about it, and decided to tie Dr. Zeng first and then check the secret file.
She thought that if she was accidentally discovered while checking the secret file, it would not be difficult to escape with her cultivation base, but it would not be easy to kidnap someone.
Yun Ruoyan followed the route given by the guard, A Jin, all the way to the side courtyard where Doctor Zeng was located.
It was already late at night, and apart from the two lanterns hanging above the courtyard gate, the courtyard was completely dark.
Perhaps it was because the palace was tightly guarded, and the courtyard door was only closed but not plugged in. Yun Ruoyan entered the courtyard and went straight to the front of the main house. Instead of opening the door directly to enter, she knocked on the door.
Because Yun Ruoyan discovered that there were women's and children's clothes on the clothesline in the yard, if Doctor Zeng was forcibly kidnapped, the women and children would be disturbed, and if there was too much noise, it would be troublesome.
"Who, it's so late." Following Yun Ruoyan's knock on the door, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry Dr. Zeng, my wife suddenly has a stomachache, and sent me to ask Mr. to take a look."
Yun Ruoyan said softly: "I saw the courtyard door was open, so I came in in a hurry, sir."
"Okay, wait a moment." The middle-aged man said, and then the lights in the dark room came on.
After a while, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man with long beard poked his head out.
Doctor Zeng's eyes widened immediately when he saw a woman in night clothes in front of him, but in the next second he was surrounded by colorless and odorless ecstasy powder, and then he lost his self-awareness and became only obedient to Yun Ruoyan. The puppet of command.
"Sir, who is it?" At this moment a woman's voice sounded in the room.
"You just give me some medicines, don't let your family members suspect, after an hour, go to the rockery on the south courtyard wall and wait for me, don't let anyone find out." Yun Ruoyan quickly said to Doctor Zeng in a soft voice.
Dr. Zeng nodded blankly at first, then his whole body seemed to suddenly become normal again, and he turned his head to the room and said in a normal tone: "It's a concubine of the prince, it's not a big deal, I showed her before, just I got some cold in winter, I went to get some medicine, and she will be fine soon after taking it with her."
Dr. Zeng said that according to Yun Ruoyan's request, he went into the room to get some medicine and handed it to Yun Ruoyan. Yun Ruoyan took it and put the medicine on the window sill, then turned and left.
Yun Ruoyan left the side courtyard and went straight to Shuxiang Garden, the tallest small building in the backyard.
Yun Ruoyan encountered five or six teams of guards on the way, which made Yun Ruoyan slightly surprised.
No matter how bad Li Sheng's impression of Yun Ruoyan was and how untrue his name was, he was still known as a virtuous king in his own region, and even the entire Li country.
Li Sheng is also quite loved by the common people, so there shouldn't be any assassination incidents, why did he make himself look like a frightened bird.
Could it be that he was guarding against that heart-digging monster, but there are monsters hiding in Prince Ming's mansion, so there is no such thing as being afraid of monsters.
Yun Ruoyan easily escaped all the guards and climbed over the wall to enter Shuxiangyuan. As soon as her feet landed, she dodged, dodged into the shade of a tree and observed the entire Shuxiangyuan.
To Yun Ruoyan's surprise, there was no shadow of a guard in Shuxiangyuan. The entire palace turned out to be a kind of defense that was tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
However, Yun Ruoyan did not relax at all. In Yun Ruoyan's opinion, there were two reasons why the Ming Palace adopted a tight defense on the outside and a loose defense on the inside.
One is that there are too many secrets in this Shuxiang Garden, just like what the guard Ah Jin said, outsiders are not allowed to enter, even the guards are not allowed to enter.
The second is that there are expert hidden protections in the Shuxiang Garden, so no other guards are needed.
Thinking of the second point, Yun Ruoyan became more careful.
Except for the lit lanterns in the corridor, almost all the lights in the entire Shuxiangyuan were turned off, only a room above the second floor of the tallest small building was still lit.
Yun Ruoyan bowed her waist and walked carefully to the side of the small building. Taking advantage of the night and the heavy shadow of the small building, Yun Ruoyan went up to the second floor of the small building lightly.
As soon as Yun Ruoyan arrived on the second floor, she heard someone's voice coming from the lighted cabin, and Yun Ruoyan came to the window of the room catty.
"My lord, this is the snack I just prepared for you today, it's still fresh." Yun Ruoyan heard a young man's voice say.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Then I remembered the voice of a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man's voice Yun Ruoyan recognized, it was Ming Wang Lisheng who had a double-sided relationship before.
"Look, my lord, these three are the hearts of girls under the age of sixteen, and the taste is definitely the best." The young man laughed very wickedly.
When Yun Ruoyan heard the word heart, her brows frowned involuntarily.
"It turns out that the culprit who dug out the heart is not someone else, but the manager of Wucheng, Ming Wang Lisheng." Yun Ruoyan couldn't help being shocked.
She straightened up slowly, carefully poked a hole in the window paper with her fingers near the edge of the window, and then looked into the house from the small hole.
Yun Ruoyan saw only two people in the room, one was Ming Wang Lisheng, and the other was a young man.
The man was dressed in bunts, and he was the young man with a monstrous aura who was followed all the way to Ming Palace by Yun Ruoyan in the morning.
"Be careful with your actions. Don't be caught by the cultivators in the city. If you are caught, this king will not be able to save you."
While Li Sheng was talking, his eyes fell on a mahogany box on the small sandalwood table in front of him. The box contained what the two of them called snacks.
"Don't worry, my lord. When I acted, I didn't just poach the hearts of young girls. In order to confuse the public, I also poached the hearts of some old people and children."
The young man with a demonic aura said: "The wind in the city has been a little tight these few days. Today's snacks are obtained outside the city by the small ones. The small ones will never be caught, and even if they are caught, they will never be caught." I will not confess you, my lord. Besides, even if a small one confesses you, the common people will not believe it. Now you are a virtuous king loved by everyone!"
"That's true." Li Sheng seemed to appreciate what the young man said, and laughed softly.
"Then, if the prince has no other orders, the younger one will leave. The younger one has enough energy to prepare more snacks for the prince."
"Go." Li Sheng waved to the young man.
Yun Ruoyan originally wanted to wait for this young man with a wicked look to leave, then quietly entered the house and tied up Li Sheng, and then forced him to find out where the secret file was hidden, and then killed him to eliminate harm for the people.
However, not long after the young man left, Li Sheng took the box containing the girl's heart in his hand and stood up, then walked to a corner of the room.
There was an inconspicuous flowerpot in the corner, and the flowers and plants in the flowerpot were even more inconspicuous.
Li Sheng squatted down and stretched out his hand to turn the unremarkable flower pot gently, and a wall behind the flower pot suddenly opened automatically.
After a while of squeaks, there was a gap in the wall the size of a door, which turned out to be the entrance to a secret room.
Li Sheng stood up and walked in towards the small door.
When Li Sheng's figure disappeared at the entrance of the secret room, she pushed open the window and jumped into the room, then followed into the small door without hesitation.
