The wind disturbed the atmosphere in the room, and Ling Xiao was the only one left in the room, as if no one had ever been there.
Ling Xiao sat down on the ground, and touched his neck with lingering fear, the feeling of the sword touching his neck was really uncomfortable.
However, he was surprised by his good luck. Lan Wei was willing to give him the list of eyeliners for Mo Qi. He just realized that there are not many eyeliners available in the palace. I know, it belongs to the prime minister's residence.
That was the prime minister's painstaking efforts for several years!
He just traded it for Mo Qi's future
The prime minister may agree
No, the prime minister is an old fox, it is impossible to hand over the list just like this, so this list...
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, and had an idea in his heart.
The next day, as expected, a court lady came to deliver food and stuffed the list into Ling Xiao's hands.
Ling Xiao silently collected the list, and took it out to have a look when there was no one around.
There were twelve people on the list, including Nanny Lin from Chuxiu Palace, two nuns, three court ladies, seven eunuchs, and two of the eunuchs were procured.
Ling Xiao silently collected the list, his eyes closed and he fell into deep thought.
In the next few days, Ling Xiao didn't bring out the list again, he just ordered the five people before him to stay in their positions and pay close attention to the court ladies and eunuchs who came and went.
They are greedy for money, they have experience in such things as sending letters, and they know which places are relatively hidden, so Ling Xiao told them to stay in places they thought were suspicious and wait for the rabbit.
This really made Ling Xiao pick out a bunch of people, after a secret investigation, he found that they were inserted by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
There are seven people in total, four court ladies and three eunuchs, there may be more, but Ling Xiao only found seven people for the time being.
These seven people surrounded Concubine Ran.
Concubine Ran is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. She has been a concubine in the palace for two years and is quite favored in the palace.
And because of his daughter's favor, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is quite powerful in the court, and his influence in the court is comparable to that of the prime minister. The seven people he arranged to surround Concubine Ran may be just to take care of Concubine Ran, or maybe It is for the convenience of communication.
Ling Xiao didn't care about these, as long as he got the list, he didn't care about other things, those were the emperor's headaches.
Other than that, Ling Xiao felt that the defense in this palace should be strengthened, not to mention other places, his newly granted mansion must be strengthened.
Last time, Lan Wei chatted with him in his room for almost half the night, and the sword went up and down several times, but no one noticed!
And let Lan Wei leave the palace quietly!
Although Ling Xiao knew beforehand that Lan Wei's martial arts were not weak, he never expected it to be this good!
Come and go freely in the palace!
So, these few days Ling Xiao called many eunuchs to guard them.
When asked why he was called an eunuch, Ling Xiao could only say that he was not the commander of the imperial guards, he couldn't call those guards, and he didn't dare to call casually to attract the emperor's attention.
Calling the eunuchs to come over to guard, Ling Xiao didn't feel any sense of security, after thinking about it carefully, he set up a small trap in his room.
At night, as expected, there was a light blue figure in his room.
At this time, the other eunuchs and maids in the room were all withdrawn by him.
Ling Xiao stared blankly at Lan Wei who was sitting on his seat for three seconds, then turned away silently. The moment he turned around, the familiar sword sound echoed in his ears, and then the icy feeling climbed up again. his neck.
"Where do you want to go? Ling Xiao." Lan Wei said gloomyly.
Ling Xiao closed his eyes, stared at the coldly glowing sword in front of his eyes, twitched the corner of his mouth, carefully pushed aside the edge of the sword and said, "Young master Lan Wei, do you always use such a simple and rude way every time you see me? "
Lan Wei snorted coldly, lifted the sword and shook off Ling Xiao's hand that was playing with the sword, and pressed the sword close to the skin of Ling Xiao's neck again: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you, I have already sent the list to you, why two or three God, I don't see you making any moves, do you want to go back on your word?"
Said, Lan Wei already had anger on his face, the sword edge pushed forward, and it was about to cut Ling Xiao's skin, Ling Xiao froze, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "Young Master Lan Wei misunderstood, It's not that I don't want to help, but that the list you sent...was wrong."
"Impossible!" Lan Wei frowned: "I brought that list from my father's study, there is no mistake!"
When Ling Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and pointed it out: "The Prime Minister's study?"
Ling Xiao closed his eyes and pondered, and asked tentatively with purpose: "Didn't the Prime Minister give you this list?"
Lan Wei pursed her lips when she heard this, with a displeased expression on her face: "You ask too many questions!"
The obvious cover-up made Ling Xiao confirm that this list was indeed not handed over by the prime minister, but Lan Wei took it from the prime minister's study privately!
As he thought, the prime minister is cunning and it is impossible to hand over the list, and Lan Wei is bound to hand over the list for Mo Qi. If the prime minister disagrees, Lan Wei can only do one thing to help Mo Qi. thing.
Without telling the prime minister, he secretly took the list and gave it to himself.
Lan Wei is a person who is arrogant and arrogant, and what he disdains the most is cheating.
So the authenticity of this list is one hundred percent!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao finally had a bottom line in his heart, and he couldn't help secretly praising Lan Wei—God's assistant.
But from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lan Wei's sharp sword threatening his own life on his neck, Ling Xiao couldn't help becoming nervous again, he glanced at the small mechanism just set up beside the bed, his brain was running rapidly, and he came up with an idea of escape , He cleared his throat, picked up Lan Wei's words and said: "Since Mr. Lan Wei, you brought the list from the Prime Minister's study, then... did you take it wrong or missed it? It's in my hands But only half the list."
Lan Wei was furious when he heard this, and couldn't help but sneered: "Ling Xiao, don't play tricks with me! Father's study only has this list, and I gave you the whole list."
"I don't dare to tease Mr. Lan Wei. It is true that half of the list is missing. If you don't believe me, I will show it to you." Ling Xiao said with a bad idea in his heart, but he said firmly on his face.
Lan Wei raised his eyebrows, and looked carefully at Ling Xiao's expression, as if he was pondering the credibility of Ling Xiao's words, finally, he pursed his lips, and signaled Ling Xiao to take out the list.
Ling Xiao followed the trend to guide Lan Wei, glanced at the side of the bed and said, "The list is not on me, it's on the other side of the bed."
Lan Wei pursed her lips, held up her sword and led Ling Xiao over, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, he stood by the bed and bent down, pretending to be looking for something, then suddenly pulled down the mechanism at the head of the bed, and quickly climbed onto the bed, Borrowing the strength of the bed board, it rolled in two circles.
Lan Wei was startled, and wanted to go forward to catch Ling Xiao, but a large net suddenly fell from above his head, caught him off guard, and restrained him.
With a "bang", Lan Wei's saber fell off in response, and the whole person lost his balance due to being restrained, and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao got up from the bed, and looked at Lan Wei with an evil smile.
