Ji Yunshu remained silent, her expression indifferent.
If she really told Luo Yang that she met Li Shiyan in Great Lin, it would be the same as revealing her identity.
So, she couldn't say it!
"I'm not trying to help the heir. I just feel that this case is a bit strange, so I want to investigate it. Perhaps there are other secrets that I can't say."
"Other secrets?" Luo Yang stared at her and emphasized, "I'll tell you first. This murder case has nothing to do with you. I don't care what your reasons are, but you should stay far away from it. Don't get involved in everything. In the end, you'll be the one suffering. If something really happens, I won't be able to save you."
Try to dissuade him!
Once Ji Yunshu decided on something, she would never change her mind.
Moreover, she owed Li Shiyan a favor. She couldn't just sit by and do nothing!
She said, "Luo Yang, if you don't want to help, I won't force you. But don't stop me. In short, I must investigate this matter."
"You …"
"It'll be dawn in a few hours. I must go see the heir to clarify things. Otherwise, it'll be inconvenient to investigate once the sun rises."
After all, she wasn't a member of the Supreme Court, nor was she a member of the manor. It would be difficult for her to intervene in this case.
She could only do it in the dark!
Luo Yang didn't want to get involved in this matter, but seeing Ji Yunshu's firm attitude, he knew that he wouldn't be able to persuade her. He waved his sleeves and moved to the side, saying, "Fine. Since you want to investigate, you can do it yourself. In any case, I won't go. I don't want to bring trouble upon myself."
Ji Yunshu didn't like to force others. Since this was the case, she could only rely on herself.
"Then I'll go investigate myself."
Saying this, she carried the lantern and walked forward.
Luo Yang stood where he was and watched her leave. His heart felt like it was being gnawed by insects. It was very uncomfortable.
He watched as Ji Yunshu walked further and further away …
Finally …
He couldn't care less about the stakes. Gritting his teeth, he rushed forward and caught up to her in the corridor.
He panted, "Who cares. This young master will follow you. At worst, it's just my life. In any case, if I die, you'll accompany me to the grave. What's there to be afraid of?"
Seeing him suddenly change his mind, Ji Yunshu was very grateful. She asked again to confirm, "Have you really thought it through?"
"Yes!" Luo Yang puffed out his chest. "If you really want to investigate, I'll accompany you."
"Thank you, Luoyang."
"What are you thanking me for? You're just a little girl, and you're not afraid of causing trouble. What's there for a man like me to be afraid of? Besides, I'm also involved. After all, I saw the heir come out from behind the fake mountain. If we really want to count, I'm the one who exposed him! Now, at most, we'll just have to put one more foot in. Life or death, it's all up to us. Who cares? Let's do it first. "
He had a lofty and ambitious look on his face!
He was a man of indomitable spirit.
Then, the two went to the Southern Courtyard.
From the mouths of the servants in the villa, Ji Yunshu learned that the Crown Prince was imprisoned in the Shuiyue Pavilion in the southern courtyard, guarded by the elite soldiers of the Supreme Court. No one could enter or leave.
As soon as they entered the Southern Courtyard, they bumped into a group of servants who were patrolling the manor.
They immediately blocked their way.
Ji Yunshu and Luo Yang had no choice but to lower their heads. Fortunately, it was dark, and the lanterns in their hands didn't give off enough light. If they didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to see their appearance.
Among the patrolling servants, a slightly older one asked, "Why are you two here? There's enough manpower here, so there's no need for more people to come. "
Ji Yunshu's tone was slightly heavy. "I saw a figure coming, so I chased him here."
She lied without blushing or palpitating.
Luo Yang slightly tilted his head to look at her. This woman's brain and glib tongue were also formidable.
When the old steward heard that there was a figure coming, he immediately became cautious. "A figure?"
"Yes, he came this way."
That's incredible!
The steward hastily ordered the people behind him. "What are you standing there for? Go look everywhere. "
"Yes!"
The group of people carried their lanterns and went everywhere to look for the so-called 'figure'.
The old steward waved his hand at Ji Yunshu and Luo Yang. "You two go over there and look."
"Yes!"
Thus, Ji Yunshu and Luo Yang naturally went in the direction of Shuiyue Pavilion.
The two of them took advantage of this opportunity to flash into a narrow corridor.
From this direction, they could see the entrance of Shuiyue Pavilion.
There were two elite soldiers of the Supreme Court standing guard outside. It would be difficult to enter.
Luo Yang stretched his neck to look. "Are you sure you want to go in now? Look at those two people standing outside. They're like door gods. It's impossible for us to go in with our current attire. "
There was a hint of warning in his words.
Ji Yunshu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand holding the lantern tightened a few times.
She said, "I just said that a figure came here, so there's no harm in making a big deal out of it."
"Make a big deal out of it? If you make a big deal out of it, everyone in the villa will know. "
"That won't be the case."
Luo Yang didn't understand what she meant. "Then tell me, what should we do now?"
"That depends on what you do." Ji Yunshu looked at him and instructed, "Go over now and say that you saw a figure coming. Those two elite soldiers must be worried that something has happened to the heir, so they'll definitely go in to take a look. At that time, I'll slip in! They'll come out after they've checked that the heir is safe. You should leave quickly. "
"And then? How will you come out? "
"I have my own way of leaving."
"What way?" Luo Yang was worried. If something went wrong, Ji Yunshu might be charged.
Ji Yunshu's black and white eyes looked at Shuiyue Pavilion. Her lips parted slightly. "When the time comes, the heir will help me out."
Eh?
This made Luo Yang puzzled.
He wanted to ask more, but Ji Yunshu grabbed his arm and said, "Hurry up and go. Don't waste any more time."
Luo Yang nodded heavily. He was ready to throw caution to the wind!
He took a deep breath and hurriedly ran over. Ji Yunshu also took this opportunity to blow out the lantern in her hand and put it in a corner of the corridor.
Luo Yang ran over while shouting, "There's a thief! There's a thief!"
The two dignified guards standing outside Shuiyue Pavilion saw him running over and shouting those words. They immediately pulled out their swords from their waists and looked around.
"You can't trespass here!"
Luo Yang wanted to put on a show, but he was worried that his appearance would be recognized by the two elite soldiers. He drooped his head and said with difficulty, "Just now … when I was patrolling over there, I saw a shadow coming this way. It seemed … it seemed …"
"Seemed what?"
He pointed inside Shuiyue Pavilion. "It seemed like that shadow went inside."
Ah!
How could that be!
The elite soldiers were responsible for guarding the heir, but if a thief really went inside and hurt the heir, they wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.
He immediately took his sword and went inside to check. When he entered, he told Luo Yang, "You stay here and watch. Don't let anyone come in."
"Yes!" Luo Yang had his way and bowed.
He watched as the elite soldiers went in!
Ji Yunshu took advantage of this and immediately came over from the other side of the corridor.
Luo Yang grabbed her arm and said, "Be careful. I'll wait for you outside."
She replied with a "En" and went in.
The Water Moon Pavilion was neither too big nor too small. There was a wall separating the entrance, and a rockery was built in the courtyard. There were also several trees planted around it. It could be considered to be exquisitely arranged, and it was a very elegant courtyard.
Ji Yunshu quietly hid behind a rockery and watched as the two elite soldiers searched the area. Then, she walked to the door where the heir was imprisoned. She stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, shouting, "Heir? Heir? "
There was no light in the room, so it was pitch-black.
There was no response for a long time.
The two elite soldiers looked at each other and knocked on the door again. "Heir? Are you inside? "
Could it be that something had really happened?
Just as one of them was about to take out the key to enter, a cold voice came from inside the door. "What's the matter?"
Fortunately, he was inside!
"It's nothing. It's good to know that the heir is safe and sound inside."
"If you're not here to prove my innocence, then don't disturb me."
"… Yes!"
