Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The man in black swooped into the room neatly. He was not tall and looked thin and small from the back. The black hood covered most of his face, only revealing a smooth mandible. His skin was as smooth and fair as gelatin.

After entering the house, he took off his hood, and it was Ji Wuyan.Ji Wuyan took a look at the study room, which was not very big and had a whole wall of bookcases. He walked to the small copper incense burner, stirred the calming incense that had not yet burned out, and then looked at Li Yuqi who was sleeping drowsily. , and tightened his teeth, finally suppressing the vague murderous intention in his heart.

Cen Yan said that Li Yuqi had been staying in this study for the past two days except for going to court. They speculated that either Chaoyun was locked in the dark room entering from the study, or Chaoyun was elsewhere and Li Yuqi used his body to Bait, lay a trap in the study, just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn.

No matter which one it is, this trip must be done for a while.

His eyes passed over the rows and rows of books on the bookshelf, and landed on a rather out-of-place vase in the corner. Ji Wuyan was about to step forward to check, but heard voices outside, "Excuse me, your highness. Have you used up your dinner? Grandma asked the slave to come over and take care of it..."

There was a little girl outside the door. The guard recognized her as a girl who had just arrived in the dining room. Maybe she was still young and was active at the time. Although she was in the dining room, it was actually quite lively. People who knew her in a short period of time There were quite a few, and she always smiled when she met everyone, so she quickly became a close friend in the East Palace.The guard immediately took a step back and reminded, "His Highness has already used it, but His Highness is probably asleep. There will be less movement when you go in."

"Okay, thank you for reminding me, brother." The little girl said with a smile, turned around and told the girl behind her, "Let's be quieter, His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't had a good rest these days, and now he finally fell asleep, so we can't wake him up."

Only then did the guard notice that in the corner behind the little girl, there was a woman dressed as a servant with her head lowered. The woman seemed a little nervous, and she said "hmm" in a low voice and followed suit.

The guard looked at him for a moment, and saw that the other party was shaking his hands and lowering his head. He became suspicious, raised his arm, and stopped, "Raise your head." This voice was completely different from before, as cold and hard as a stone in the cold winter. .

The other party was shaking all over, but he still looked up obediently. His pupils were trembling under the dim moonlight, and he was so nervous that he seemed about to faint at any moment.The guard's eyes flashed, and he was about to question him when he heard the girl in the dining room yelling and explaining, "Brother, little brother... this is the servant who sets the fire in the dining room. I haven't seen any of these little brothers on weekdays, nor have I." I was naturally nervous when I took over this job. I really couldn’t find anyone today, so I asked her to come with me..."

The frightened woman was so nervous that she forgot to breathe. After a closer look, she felt that she did seem familiar. The remaining vegetation ash on her face gave the previous explanation a little more credibility.In addition, the face in front of him was indeed somewhat familiar, so the guard waved his hand and let people in.The little girl smiled with her eyes curled up, "Thank you very much, little brother, we will not disturb His Highness's rest!"

Who can resist a little girl who smiles as softly and cutely as a little white rabbit?The guards were no exception. The last bit of suspicion disappeared in such a smile.

Ji Wuyan turned around and fiddled with some objects that seemed incompatible with the entire study and had not accumulated dust. However, she still could not find the mechanism to open the darkroom. Footsteps outside were approaching, and there were some little girls pressing down on them. The voice warned carefully, Ji Wuyan's eyes tightened, and he glanced at the screen beside him. He saw a magnificent landscape painting with double-sided embroidery, which was best used to cover his figure.She dodged and disappeared behind him.

"Squeak..."

The sound of pushing the door open was inevitable, leaving a long lingering sound in the night when it was so quiet that only the faint snoring could be heard in the house.The leading little girl stepped into the threshold and changed from her sweet look before. She stood leaning against the door with her arms folded and dryly told the woman behind her, "Move quickly, I will wait for you here... Ha, I thought Shen Er was dignified." The young lady is fearless and has even done things like drugging the prince, but she can't even handle it with a bodyguard."

The woman behind her who changed into a servant's clothes and smeared plant ash on her face was clearly Shen Lewei.

Shen Lewei's face didn't look very good, but he still insisted, "I didn't give any medicine. I, I, I just..." I just took some more soothing herbs, which will not do any harm to His Highness's health.

How could she be willing to drug His Royal Highness?

However, the other party was obviously not willing to listen to her explanation and did not believe her excuse. He just urged impatiently, "Hurry up! Those guards are very cautious. They will definitely become suspicious if they come in for too long. Let me tell you. You, it’s okay if you suffer yourself, don’t try to trick me... Otherwise, I will definitely not hide your threat to me for you. By then, I want to see if the prince still likes you... …”

One sentence hit a painful point.

If she hadn't been worried that His Highness the Crown Prince would be bewitched by the vixen and thus fall out of favor, she would not have taken such a risky approach to verify whether what Shen Lewei said was true or false.

Shen Lewei, who had an unobstructed view of the study room and was already prepared to see another woman here, was also startled. Unexpectedly, he was about to go behind the only screen that blocked his view, but was pulled by someone beside him. Holding his wrist, "Didn't you say you just came in and took a look? Why, now that there is no one, what else do you do? Pack up quickly and leave quickly. The most important thing is!"

"No!" After a lot of effort and no success, Shen Lewei was willing to leave. He immediately broke free from the other party's shackles, strode behind the screen and looked around... there was no one there.

How could there be no one... The cook also said that His Highness the Crown Prince has eaten more than usual in the past two days, and he even ate dishes he didn't like. This is obviously evidence that there is someone around to eat with him. ah!Could it be that... he left?The handkerchief in her hand was torn and wrinkled. She stood there with a mournful face as if she were mourning for her heir. The little girl at the door breathed a sigh of relief and did not urge Shen Lewei to leave. She only reminded hesitantly, "Could it be... …Is there a secret door in this study?”

secret door?

Chen Le's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately started searching, but in the end, he was still as clueless as a headless fly. After searching around like this, he still found nothing.

The little girl was anxious. Seeing that the guard outside the door was getting suspicious, she had no choice but to pull Shen Lewei to pack the dishes and leave first... After they left, Ji Wuyan landed lightly from the beam.
