191. As soon as you make a move: you will know if there is one
Mu Jieyu was overjoyed after hearing what the Fourteenth Prince said. Nothing could excite her more than this news. So after she said thank you to the Fourteenth Prince, she slipped into the study as fast as she could, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw
When we reached the hanging plum blossom picture, we found the mechanism, opened the secret passage, and left without hesitation.
It was pitch dark in the secret passage, but fortunately she had excellent eyesight. Although the secret passage was filled with dust and sultry heat, it was fortunate that there were no traps. Mu Jieyu made many twists and turns and safely approached the area of the East Palace.
Inside.
The Prince's Palace and the East Palace are not within the scope of the harem, and the two rooms are not far apart, so the secret passage is not very long, and it took only two sticks of incense to reach the end of Mu Jieyu.
After listening closely against the wall for a long time, Mu Jieyu made sure that no one was inside, then he gently opened the exit and leaned out.
The exit was an abandoned ancient well in the Washing Hall of the East Palace. Fortunately, the last time she came to the East Palace, Xuanyuan Zhichen introduced the East Palace to her in detail and let her know that this was the most remote courtyard in the East Palace.
You have to walk through a long palace passage to truly approach the East Palace.
Mu Jieyu caused quite a storm in the palace. Now the entire palace was heavily guarded. Even Emperor Hong'an was alerted. He immediately ordered the guards to take charge. Cabinet Minister Yang Song personally led troops to assist Xuanyuan Zhi.
Luo searched for the assassin and rescued the fourteenth prince intact. He also called the nine-door admiral to him in the middle of the night and scolded him. Then he ordered Jiang Yuan, the commander of the imperial guard, to temporarily replace the nine-door admiral. Huo Qing, the deputy commander of the imperial guard, sent someone
Monitor the safety of each palace.
Therefore, what Mu Jieyu saw now was the East Palace that was like an iron barrel! Not only were there patrolling guards one after another, but even the dark corners around the palace gate were guarded by master secret guards.
She raised her head and looked at the sky. It was almost white, and there was no hiding place in the Bathing Hall. The worst part was that she had heard the faint sound of someone getting up and getting dressed, and soon the lights in the lower room of the Washing Hall came on.
Mu Jieyu gritted his teeth, looked at a gap, crossed over, and clung tightly to the cold palace wall, using the blind spot of light to move forward cautiously.
After finally reaching the corner of the small door, a pair of patrolling guards were reflected on the wall. Mu Jieyu looked at the guards who were approaching and about to turn the corner. His heart tightened and he couldn't care less. He raised his hand.
With a touch on the head and a flick of the fingertips, a silver hairpin flew away, knocking down the glazed palace lantern under the opposite eaves. The sound of the lantern falling to the ground was loud, and it immediately attracted the group of guards who were about to turn around.
In the past, even the two secret guards hiding in the attic in front had made some changes.
Mu Jieyu took this opportunity and broke into the East Palace. Relying on her memory and stepping on all the blind spots, Mu Jieyu broke into the Zhaoxia Palace - Xuanyuan Chengye's palace with no risk.
The guards in Chaoxia Palace were even tighter than outside. Mu Jieyu could only hide in the dark and did not dare to break in. However, she breathed a sigh of relief temporarily and took out a glass bottle from her arms. When the glass bottle was opened, a firefly flew away.
come out.
Mu Jieyu stretched out his white palm, and the small bug with a little firefly rested on Mu Jieyu's fingertips. Mu Jieyu blew on it gently and watched the fireflies fly up.
Spin her around: "Go, little thing, it's up to you now!"
