"Do you have any clues that the imperial doctor who eloped with the concubine was imprisoned?" Lin Xiner moved to the iron fence, approached the eunuch and asked in a low voice.
Finding the imperial doctor should not be part of the plan of the master behind the scenes in Yuehua Kingdom. It was just a temporary task assigned to her by borrowing this identity. The only people who knew the purpose of her entry into the palace were those who had connections with her, except those from Shuiyue Palace.
The Yuehua Kingdom was indirectly connected to Ximen Jingyu.
Ximen Jingyu's status in the court is not high enough. If the imperial doctor is involved in a sensitive royal topic, he probably doesn't know the specific details, but does his people have some clues?
The eunuch shook his head, "I don't know. I only heard that the imperial doctor was captured by Prince Xuan and brought into the palace. As for where he is hiding, I don't know."
"Okay, I'll go check it out myself." Lin Xiner said, "Wait for me here. I'll use your identity to leave first."
Lin Xiner immediately had an idea. This method couldn't be simpler.
"I obey," the eunuch nodded.
Lin Xiner took off her hairpin and fiddled with it a few times to open the big lock that locked the cell door. The eunuch entered the prison and took off his outer shirt, lying inward in the corner, wearing Lin Xiner's clothes.
Clothes stained with blood.
Lin Xiner put on the coat that the eunuch had taken off, put on the eunuch's hat, picked up her lunch box and walked out of the cell, locking it again.
After that, he lowered his head and walked out of the prison. The guard didn't notice anything and allowed Lin Xiner to take the opportunity to leave.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Lin Xin'er was like a night cat, deftly roaming around the palace, searching for every suspicious place in the palace based on the memory of the drawings, even the Jinyang Palace where Ximen Jinglie was.
Dive in easily.
But after a busy night, no clues were found.
After working in vain all night, Lin Xiner pretended to be a eunuch delivering food and returned to the prison cell in the criminal room.
"Eh? Why are you here to deliver food again? Didn't you just deliver it?" The guard looked at Lin Xiner suspiciously.
Lin Xiner lowered her head. After hearing what he said, she suddenly felt bad. She dropped her lunch box and ran towards the prison to avoid the guards.
The guards shouted after her, but Lin Xiner ignored them completely. She quickly came to the cell where she was being held, and saw the eunuch who replaced her lying on her side. She had been stabbed in the back, and her back was already soaked with blood.
"Ah! Princess Xuan has been assassinated!" The guards chased after her, and when they saw the eunuch who had been stabbed to death, he screamed and ran out.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Xiner grabbed the guard back and pressed him against the iron fence, "If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, just shut up!"
The guard clearly felt that his opponent's martial arts skills were extraordinary, and he subdued him with a single move. He stared at Lin Xiner with surprised eyes, and then realized that the person wearing eunuch clothes was a woman.
He was on duty from the previous guard and had never seen Lin Xiner's face, so he didn't recognize the woman in front of him.
"This person died while you were on duty. You can weigh the seriousness of the problem yourself." Lin Xiner said solemnly.
"This...this...it was Princess Xuan who died..." the guard said tremblingly. The assassination of Princess Xuan was a big deal, and he couldn't hide it from her!
"Princess Xuan is not dead." Lin Xiner said as she took the key from the guard, opened the cell, grabbed the guard and went in together, walked to the eunuch, raised her feet to straighten the eunuch's body, and lay down on his back.
"Ah?" The guard clearly saw that it was not Princess Xuan. Even if he didn't know Princess Xuan, he knew that the princess would never look like this. The dead one was obviously a man, and he knew her in the criminal room.
A serving eunuch.
Lin Xiner let go of the guard. At this time, she expected that he would not yell casually again.
This is the prison of the criminal room. Usually, few of the royal family members are detained here for committing crimes. Even if they occasionally do, they will not stay here for a long time. So at this time, she is the only one being detained in the entire prison. This is also
Make things easier for everyone.
Lin Xiner took off her eunuch uniform and threw it on the eunuch who had been killed.
The guard looked at Lin Xiner who was dressed as a palace maid and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
"I am Lin Xiner." Lin Xiner did not hide her identity.
"Ah!" the guard gasped, the matter was beyond the scope of his understanding.
Lin Xiner raised her foot and kicked the cell a few times, giving the appearance of an argument.
At this time, someone came in from outside the prison. They were several palace guards.
Since the prisoners held in the criminal cells are not dangerous, the guards are very loose, but there are guards patrolling nearby at all times. The guard just called out and was heard, and someone came quickly.
"What happened?" The well-trained guard saw the body lying on the ground at a glance.
"He wanted to assassinate my princess, but fortunately he was saved by this guard." Lin Xiner replied calmly.
"Are you Princess Xuan?" The guard looked at Lin Xiner.
"What? You don't believe it? Do you want someone to check to see if this princess has just been punished with a cane?" Lin Xiner's voice was raised a little higher, with a bit of majesty.
"Oh, no." People like the little leader of the guard quickly denied. They were just surprised that the dignified Princess Xuan was actually dressed as a palace maid.
Fortunately, it was not Princess Xuan who died. Otherwise, if an assassin succeeded in the assassination, the patrolling guards would also be punished.
"This princess is going to meet the emperor. It's too unsafe here." Lin Xiner said with lingering fear.
"Yes, I will report this matter to the Emperor immediately." The leader of the guard cupped his hands and said, "According to this, please first ask the princess to wait in the criminal room."
We can't continue to be in prison, everything will have to wait until the Emperor Ming is informed before making a decision.
"Okay." Lin Xiner nodded.
After the guards left in a hurry, Lin Xiner walked out of the cell with the prison guards.
"Do you know what to say when you meet the emperor?" Lin Xiner asked in a low voice as she walked away.
The guard nodded his head as if he had neglected his duty and infiltrated into the assassins, but now he had made a contribution to rescuing the princess. He knew that such a change had two completely opposite meanings to him, and he could clearly see that Princess Xuan was walking as fast as the wind, not at all like she is now.
Such a lame look.
Things in the palace have always been unpredictable. When he entered the palace, the master who led him told him to turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye, so that he could safely get food from the palace.
"Princess, don't worry, this servant knows what to say and what not to say." Apart from being frightened out of his wits at the beginning, the guard's reaction was also quite clever.
After discovering Princess Xuan's secret, he must keep it secret and pray that he won't be silenced by someone he can't afford to offend.
"Very good, the matter is settled. I will not treat you badly." Lin Xiner smiled and gave the guard reassurance as usual.
However, Lin Xiner's voice changed, "If the truth of this matter is leaked, your life will be over."
