Wang Chuan guessed that Feng Yu Heng wanted to go to the Sheng Palace, but this gave Huang Quan a fright. Even Ban Zou appeared out of nowhere and said: "You can't go."
Feng Yu Heng facepalmed: "Why not?"
"It's too dangerous."
"I don't think it's dangerous." She reasoned with Ban Zou, "Everyone's abilities are different. Places that you think are dangerous are as easy as flat ground for me."
Ban Zou's head swelled from the blow, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "That still won't do." After saying this, he looked at Feng Yu Heng's resolute expression and felt that he would most likely not be able to stop her, thus he added: "Only if you bring me along."
Wang Chuan quickly followed up and said: "I'll also go."
Huang Quan really wanted to say the same thing, but she was an expert in fighting. Qinggong and hiding in the night were not her strong points. If she went, she would only be a burden. Thus, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Instead, she held back her words.
Feng Yu Heng also felt a headache coming on. She analyzed the situation to the two: "I'm going to investigate at night, not sightseeing. Today is not the Lantern Festival, and the Sheng Palace can't possibly have lanterns. What are you going to do with me? Don't you know that the more people there are, the bigger the target? "
Wang Chuan was very conflicted. She understood this reasoning. In the past, when she was in the Imperial Palace Yu, because of her outstanding qinggong, she had often done this sort of investigation at night. Of course, she understood that the more people there were, the bigger the target. Thus after struggling for a long time, she finally said: "This servant can choose not to go, but young miss should at least bring along Ban Zou."
"Wang Chuan." Feng Yu Heng reminded her, "In the imperial carriage, His Ninth Highness also reminded me to bring along Ban Zou. What was his attitude after that? Did he say that he would bring along Ban Zou? "
Wang Chuan stomped her foot: "That was because young miss lied to his Highness and said that you were going to the Lu Manor of the Right Prime Minister! Of course, going to the Lu Manor is fine, but in reality, you are going to the Sheng Palace? Young Miss, you must bring him with you. If you do not bring him with you, this servant will go and tell His Ninth Highness that you are preparing to enter the Sheng Palace alone. "
Feng Yu Heng was helpless. Her maidservant was getting more and more creative! She even dared to snitch on him. Wouldn't she go against the heavens in the future? However, she also knew that Wang Chuan and the others were doing this for her own good. After all, the Sheng Palace could not be compared to other places. If something really happened to her, Xuan Tianming would definitely go crazy. She thought for a bit and helplessly said: "Forget it, Ban Zou will follow. We will set out tonight. Right now, I can still take a nap. "
Out of fear that Feng Yu Heng would sneak away on her own, Ban Zou did not climb onto the roof or a tree. He just sat outside her bedroom. This angered Feng Yu Heng so much that she covered her head with the blanket. She cursed him in her heart ten thousand times, but she felt unreconciled. She stuck her head out and loudly said: "Ban Zou, I'm telling you, don't try to drug me. Your master is a divine doctor. That drug of yours is useless against me! It's completely useless! "After saying this, she covered her head and continued to curse.
Ban Zou did not pay any attention to her. He just sat outside and drank tea, cup after cup. Very quickly, he heard Feng Yu Heng's soft mutterings: "Drink! Drink until you die! Drink until you keep running to the latrine. Let's see how you'll keep looking at me! "
This reminded Ban Zou. That's right, if one drank too much water, they would definitely need to urinate. Once he went to urinate, with this girl's abilities, she would disappear without a trace. Thus the hand holding the cup of tea was put down. He thought to himself that the tea set that cost a few hundred taels was just this taste. It was nothing special.
She took a nap, but midnight quickly arrived. Feng Yu Heng's biological clock had always been very accurate. This was a habit she had developed in her previous life. As long as she wanted to wake up at a set time, she would repeat it a few times in her heart before going to sleep. Then, when she opened her eyes again, it was guaranteed that she would wake up five minutes earlier than the set time. This good habit had not been discarded even in the ancient era.
She sat up and put on her clothes through the thick canopy. She heard Ban Zou say from outside: "You really have a big heart. You need to move out at night, yet you can take off your clothes and sleep so soundly."
"I'm happy." Feng Yu Heng did not feel embarrassed. She was not like the young ladies of the ancient era who would feel that their reputation had been ruined if they heard a man's voice while putting on their clothes. For her, exposing her arms or legs was nothing more than the tank tops and denim shorts of her previous life. They were everywhere on the streets, so what was wrong with that? Moreover, she was still wearing her silk pajamas. In addition, the bed canopy had been specially made to make it easier for her to enter her space at any time without being discovered by the maidservants outside. Not even a shadow could be seen, so what was there to be afraid of? She happily put on her clothes. While putting on her clothes, she replied to Ban Zou: "I'm happy. This is called pursuing quality sleep. Only by sleeping well can one's physical and mental strength be guaranteed. There won't be any mishaps during the operation. Ban Zou, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't sleep, you'll drag me down. If you lose me again, then don't blame me. "
Ban Zou coldly snorted, "How do you know I haven't slept? I've slept. "
"Forget it!" Feng Yu Heng sneered, "You just laid there and stared at me. You didn't even blink once. Do you think I didn't know?"
Ban Zou rolled his eyes. He was powerless to quibble because it was indeed as Feng Yu Heng had said. He had not closed his eyes at all. He had just stared at the bed canopy without moving. He had been so focused that he could have seen even a mosquito clearly. He felt that Feng Yu Heng should have stared like this. Otherwise, that girl was too sly. She might have disappeared in the blink of an eye. However … "How could I have lost you?" This was too shameful.
"Huh?" Feng Yu Heng had already finished changing her clothes. She reached out and lifted the canopy, "You won't admit to it? It's not like you haven't lost me before. Did you forget? That year, it was in the third prince's palace! "
The corner of Ban Zou's mouth twitched. Alright, that time was truly shameful. After losing her, he did not dare tell His Ninth Highness, so he simply went to find His Highness the seventh prince. In the end, it was His Highness the seventh prince who had brought her out of the third prince's palace. This girl had even set fire to the third prince's palace. It had to be said that she had done it beautifully!
Seeing that Ban Zou did not say anything else, Feng Yu Heng giggled and got off the bed. Huang Quan brought in a basin from outside, and Wang Chuan poured some herbal tea for her to rinse her mouth with. After tidying up, Feng Yu Heng waved at Ban Zou: "Go! GO！ GO！”
Ban Zou did not understand, but he could guess that she wanted to leave with him. The two of them were wearing black clothes. When they left the room, their figures flickered and disappeared, leaving behind two worried servants.
Feng Yu Heng's qinggong was just so-so. It could be used to scare people, but when it came to actual combat, at least in Ban Zou's eyes, it was not worth looking at at all. That was why Ban Zou ignored her while taking care of her the entire time. In the end, he simply grabbed Feng Yu Heng's arm and ran with her. Only then did he reach a speed that he was satisfied with. After a while, they were standing under a large tree not far from the Sheng Palace.
"Why did we stop so early? Run a few more steps forward! " Feng Yu Heng was very dissatisfied with the distance, "It's too far. We didn't really come here to look at the scenery." She furrowed her brow as she looked at the Sheng Palace in the distance. She estimated that there was still a distance of fifty meters. Ban Zou was being too cautious.
"It's not far." Ban Zou told her, "The Sheng Palace is surrounded by sentries every few steps. You see that it is very quiet in the middle of the night, but in reality, there are three hidden guards hiding ten paces in front of us. That's why you should try to keep your voice down. "
Feng Yu Heng did not continue to argue. Instead, she focused on identifying the hidden guards that Ban Zou had mentioned. This distinction was not important, but it gave her a fright! Sure enough, the Sheng Palace's hidden guards were not something that a normal manor could compare to. Perhaps even the Imperial Palace's security was not as tight because Ban Zou had accurately said that there were three hidden guards ten paces in front of them, but she could only sense two of them in the trees. As for the remaining one, she could not find him no matter what.
Ban Zou seemed to know that this would be the result, thus he quietly said: "There's still one in the water tank." He pointed at a water tank in front of them, "Don't think that it's an old and abandoned water tank. It's all done on purpose. The third hidden guard is hiding there. He's an expert who knows how to shrink his bones."
Feng Yu Heng inhaled a breath of cold air. Bone shrinking skill! She had only heard of it before, but she had never truly seen it. Although the water tank was called a water tank, it was about the same size as the pickled vegetables jars that northerners used. It was very thin, and it barely reached her knees. Under normal circumstances, an adult would definitely not be able to get inside without being discovered. If it really was as Ban Zou said, he was an expert who knew how to shrink his bones, she could not help but be shocked because this sort of expert was only standing guard around forty meters away from the manor. Then what sort of situation was inside the Sheng Palace?
Ban Zou could see her shock and quietly asked: "Are you still preparing to go in? There's still time to leave. "
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Since we've already come, there's no reason to go back. As for you, Ban Zou, I feel that you have no chance of going in unless you're exposed."
Ban Zou nodded, "Indeed."
"But I can." She curled the corner of her lips, "If you go back, I can."
"Now is not the time to decide who is better." Ban Zou angrily gritted his teeth, "Listen to me and come back with me. If there's anything you want to know, we'll think of a way to find out. You definitely can't take any risks."
"I'm not taking any risks at all." Feng Yu Heng's voice became relaxed, "I've said it before. In this world, there is no place that I, Feng Yu Heng, cannot enter. His Ninth Highness will be going to the South to fight after the New Year. Apparently, the Eighth Prince will be causing trouble in the rear and cutting off his supplies. That's why I must go into the Sheng Palace this time. "
Ban Zou did not understand, "What does cutting off supplies have to do with you needing to enter the Sheng Palace?" After asking this, he suddenly inhaled sharply, "You shouldn't be thinking of …" As he spoke, he made a motion of slitting his throat, but his heart was filled with extreme shock. The future Ninth Princess Consort was too bold! "No! Definitely not! "He spoke resolutely.
Who knew that Feng Yu Heng would smile and say: "I won't kill him. I truly do not have the ability to kill him in the Sheng Palace."
"Then what do you want to do?" Ban Zou became anxious, "What exactly do you want to do in there?"
Feng Yu Heng said: "He wants to cut off my future husband's supplies, so I need to prepare some more money for my future husband to have him buy his own supplies. This imperial daughter will empty his Sheng Palace's treasury tonight and exchange it for money to send my husband on a long journey! " After saying this, she suddenly froze. Following this, she looked to the right with a dumbfounded expression and blankly said: "Ninth … His Ninth Highness!"
Ban Zou reflexively looked in the direction of her gaze. In the time it took for him to turn his head, he suddenly shivered. There was no one there! He immediately understood what had happened. Sure enough, when he looked away, the person who had been standing next to him had already disappeared without a trace!
