Chapter 153: Touring the Imperial Palace Together! 8
Travel to the palace together! (8)
Leng Ning has never been a person who likes to wait, let alone leave her destiny to others. Although Shen Cangnan has promised to find a way to save her and Tianci out of the palace, she still decided to come here tonight to check it out for herself. At the moment, This waterway is the only way for her and Tianci to leave safely.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but keep her eyes on the waterway a few more times.
Of course, Anfu wouldn't notice. Jiu'er's eyes lazily passed over Leng Ning's face, then looked at the waterway, but a strange light flashed in his eyes.
After all, Jiu'er had just recovered from his poison, and Anfu didn't dare to overwork him, as his interest was waning, so he immediately suggested returning to the palace. Jiu'er seemed to find it boring to visit the lake, so he nodded in agreement, and the eunuch in charge of rocking the boat turned the oar. Return to the original route of Huafang.
It was already dusk when they returned to Duxue Palace. Leng Ning and Tianci had eaten with Jiu'er, and went back to rest early on the pretext of being drunk and unwell. She said it was a rest, but in fact she just closed her eyes and rested.
Jiuer played dominoes with Tianci for a while, and was sent back to the room by Luo Yan.
Time passed slowly, and when the banging sound of the second watch came from unknown palace alleys, Leng Ning climbed out of bed silently, took out a dark short dress from his package, put it on, and carefully Covering her head and face, she listened carefully to what was going on outside. It was true that no one was paying attention around her. She silently pushed open the back window, but before the window was opened, her ears had already caught the sharp sound in the air, and Leng Ning instinctively dodged.
puff!
A white object flew past her eyes and landed on the ground in the house with a thud.
Leng Ning carefully poked his eyes out and quickly looked around, only to see palace lanterns swaying in the night, and not a single figure anywhere.
Confused, she returned to the room, took out the dagger from her body, and carefully approached the object on the ground. Through the dim light coming from the window, she clearly recognized that the object was a cloth handkerchief with a small stone wrapped inside it. , there are faint writings on it.
Leng Ning took out the dagger from his body, carefully picked up the cloth handkerchief and walked to the window, looking at it carefully through the light outside.
Under the light, the few lines of calligraphy on the cloth are elegant yet vigorous.
"There are people watching, so don't act rashly, and the water gate is equipped with a mechanism to prevent poisonous crossbows."
After reading these lines, Leng Ning's eyebrows suddenly jumped.
Not because of surveillance, not because of the poisonous weapon mentioned on the banner, but because someone actually saw her thoughts and knew what she wanted to do.
