At night, the capital of Dayang Kingdom became desolate and quiet. It was not like the bustling and bustling night of Peony City, with bustling crowds.
Su Qi walked on the cold street, hiding in a corner, waiting for the guards to change guard at night.
The gong rang, the palace door opened, and the guards stood aside in two rows, waiting for the guards inside to come out and change their shifts.
Su Qi took advantage of the gap and immediately flew into the air, flying towards the palace wall like flying over the eaves and walking over the wall.
Either by luck, or because the palace had never encountered a surprise attack before, Su Qi turned over and went in without being noticed by anyone.
Su Qi hid in the flower garden and watched the palace attendants patrolling back and forth with palace lanterns, and suddenly understood what it meant to be easy to come in but difficult to come out.
There are more than a dozen guards stationed in every corridor in the palace, and the guards are even stricter than those outside.
Su Qi hunched over and tiptoed out of the flower garden, but the flowers in the flower garden smelled too bad, so Su Qi suddenly let out a "sneeze", alerting the surrounding guards.
Su Qi didn't have time to cover her mouth, and immediately ran towards the inner court on one side. Then she hid behind the door, waiting for waves of guards to pass by.
"The sound came from here, why is there nothing?" a guard with a rich voice said.
"It should be a kitten or something, no need to make a fuss." A guard next to him replied tiredly.
"You don't want your head anymore, right? No mistakes are allowed in this palace. If the fourth master finds out, I think even if you have a hundred heads, it won't be enough to kill you. If you search separately, you won't be able to let go even if it's a cat."
Pass."
Su Qi hid behind the door and was terrified. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer outside the door, Su Qi's heart almost jumped to her voice.
Heavy steps passed through the door and came back. Su Qi looked at the torches outside through the crack of the door. The leader of the guards stood there with no intention of leaving. Su Qi thought that he was dead now.
"Reporting to the general, we searched everywhere and couldn't find even a single cat."
The guards who were searching privately gathered together and stepped forward to report.
The general looked at the fourth master's house in front of him, and a hint of murderous intent suddenly rose in his eyes.
"Go in and search!" the general ordered.
When Su Qi heard this sound, she immediately moved her feet and ran inside.
Just as he turned around, he put the sword between his neck again.
"Bold thief, where else do you want to run?" The general flew up, kicked in the door, and put a sharp sword between Su Qi's throat.
Su Qi panicked, thinking that if she was caught, killed, or imprisoned like this, she would be at a huge loss.
"You bastards, I am Princess Xiao, how dare you be so rude to me!" Su Qi followed Qing Ning's example and looked at the guards around her with an air of dignity.
The leading general's face twitched, and when he saw Su Qi's face clearly, he burst into laughter.
"Princess Xiao? There are more than a dozen Prince Xiao in this palace. I wonder which prince and concubine this girl is?" The general took the sword from Su Qi's throat and walked around her. He obviously didn't know.
I believed what she said, but in order not to kill in vain or wrongly, I still thought it would be better to ask clearly.
"You slaves, you don't even pay attention to the fourth master, right?" Su Qi clenched her sweaty hands and said angrily. She only knew that Xiao Hen was the prince, but who he was, she didn't know.
It became clear. From the tone of the soldiers just now, it seemed that they were quite afraid of the Fourth Master, so Su Qi kept doing nothing.
