If it was not for the fact that it was currently a quiet night and that there were so many hidden guards around the Sheng Palace, Ban Zou really wanted to slap himself across the face. How could he have been so careless? He should have realized that this was a trap the moment he heard "His Ninth Highness" come out of her mouth! Aside from when speaking to outsiders, Feng Yu Heng would call him "His Ninth Highness". When had she ever called him that in front of him? She had always called him by his full name, alright? How could he have forgotten about this?
Ban Zou realized that he had made a serious mistake, but he did not know how to fix it. Should he enter the Sheng Palace to look for her? Truthfully speaking, he did not have any confidence. He was not omnipotent. His qinggong and concealment skills had not reached such a level. Although he could enter the imperial palace, he did not dare show off his abilities in front of the Sheng Palace. The Sheng Palace had hidden guards that could counter concealment. This was something that could not be doubted. If he went in at this time, it was very likely that he would become a burden to his master. Once something happened to him, based on his master's personality, she would definitely act to save him. When the time came, the two of them would be trapped inside. Even if he had a hundred lives, it would not be enough.
But if he did not go in, what could he do? Ban Zou's heart was filled with anger. Should he go and look for His Highness the seventh prince again? Could His Highness the seventh prince enter a place like the Sheng Palace? He did not dare guarantee this. Standing in place, he thought to himself. In the end, he gritted his teeth and helplessly retreated, silently rushing toward the Imperial Palace Yu.
Forget it, if he was cursed at, then he was cursed at. Killing him was also good. It was better than leaving that idiot alone in the Sheng Palace. At this moment, Ban Zou's mood was that of a martyr. At the same time, he was cursing Feng Yu Heng a thousand times in his mind, but he was not cursing her for implicating him. Instead, he was cursing her for being too daring to enter the Sheng Palace alone. What if something happened?
He entered Xuan Tianming's residence with these feelings. When he was just fifty paces away, he was noticed by the hidden guards of the Imperial Palace Yu, but he removed the black cloth covering his face. The people of the Imperial Palace Yu recognized him, thus they ignored him. It was only when he entered Xuan Tianming's bedroom that someone told him: "Master is in the study."
Thus Ban Zou turned around and headed toward the study. Only then did he successfully meet Xuan Tianming was there.
At this time, Xuan Tian Ming was writing in capital letters. The tip of his pen was strong and powerful; however, it also carried a somber aura. In regards to Ban Zou's arrival, he did not seem to be surprised. In fact, he spoke first, asking: "What is it, did you lose track of your master?"
Ban Zou trembled and dropped to his knees in front of Xuan Tianming. He did not say a single word, silently lowering his head to await his punishment.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, he did not hear any movement. He could not help but raise his head to take a look. He saw that Xuan Tianming was still writing. After writing a few more times, he finally said: "It's fine. You just need to return to the palace and wait for her."
"But …" Ban Zou frowned, "Master went to the Sheng Palace."
"I know. Don't worry, she will return to the palace safely. You can go."
Ban Zou was chased out like this. The moment he left, he began to wonder if Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming's feelings had changed.
At this time, fifty paces away from the Sheng Palace, there was a person standing in an empty space. It was Feng Yu Heng, who was inside her pharmacy space. In the past, when she was inside her space, she could not really hear what was going on outside. Although she could hear some faint sounds, if she wanted to hear what was being said, there was no way for her to do so. That was why she had used her space several times. Even when she had entered the third prince's estate, she had no choice but to appear to hear what the other side was saying. But ever since her space had leveled up and the underground armory had appeared, she could clearly hear what was going on outside while she was inside her space. This made it much easier for Feng Yu Heng to move around.
At this time, she was standing inside her space, carefully listening to Ban Zou's movements outside. When she was certain that Ban Zou had left, she began her next move. Although Ban Zou was on her side, she did not want Ban Zou to see her strange movements. It would be better if she didn't do something as mysterious as that. After all, it was not like when she had dealt with the Duan Mu family in the forest. In any case, she could cover it up.
Ban Zou left, and she had already determined the distance to the water tank that the person was hiding in. The first step was very risky. She walked eleven steps inside the pharmacy before crouching down. Her right hand touched her left wrist, and she thought to herself, "Out." In the next second, she reappeared in the real world, crouching behind the water tank.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng had already stopped breathing, and she used her fastest speed to think to "enter." In and out, not even half a breath had passed. The person in the water tank was a peerless expert, but he still did not notice anything amiss. After all, in this world, there was no longer a "deity" like Feng Yu Heng. No matter how great an expert was, they could not compare to Feng Yu Heng, who had a cheating tool in her hands.
Like this, she used her own space and calculated step by step. Every time she entered, she would find the exit and listen carefully. Only after confirming that there was no one at the place she was supposed to appear would she think to leave. Of course, after leaving, she would immediately come back in. Even if someone saw her in less than half a breath, they could only believe that their eyes were playing tricks on them because as long as Feng Yu Heng did not come out, even if they searched the manor, they would not be able to find even a shadow of her.
Feng Yu Heng had a clear goal in coming in this time. She would not kill anyone, nor would she commit arson. She would not go to Xuantian Mo's bedroom. Her goal this time was only for the word "wealth." Of course, if the wealth happened to be in the bedroom, then she could only try to barge in. In any case, even if she was discovered, the worst that could happen was that she had failed her mission. Trying to catch her was impossible.
But where would the Sheng Palace hide its wealth? This was something that Feng Yu Heng was worried about. Xuan Tianming's wealth was hidden underground. The entrance was at the bottom of the man-made lake in the manor. There would be a mechanism that would separate the lake and allow people to walk down the stairs. She did not know where the Eighth Prince would hide his wealth. If it was also in that sort of place, then it would be troublesome. There would be too much movement, and there would be no way to guard against it. Unless the hidden guards were stupid, they would not be able to discover it. However, she could also choose to swim down. Unfortunately, the lake would freeze during the winter. Secondly, she did not know how to swim. Thirdly, if she used her space, if the lake was too deep, her space would not be enough.
At this time, Feng Yu Heng had already entered the heart of the manor. She was in the middle of the three courtyards. She stood in her space, pondering whether or not she should go to the study. Normally, the secrets of the manor would be in the study.
At this time, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. The sound was a bit chaotic. There were two people, and they definitely did not know martial arts. They should be servants of the manor. Feng Yu Heng followed them for a few steps until she reached the end of her space. Only then did she come out and go back in. Like this, she continued to follow them until she was very far away. It was only when the two people stopped and a "hua hua" sound came from outside that her face darkened. So they had followed them to the latrine, and it was the men's latrine. Fortunately, she was in her space. Otherwise, the scene would have been awkward.
Just as she was preparing to leave, she heard the two people in the latrine whisper. One of them said: "His Highness has not returned to the manor in a long time, but he did not know about the leak at the foot of the mountain in the manor. During the banquet tonight, the guard on duty went to the foot of the mountain to clean it up. I went to carry the buckets. My arms are so tired that I can't even lift them up."
The other person immediately said: "Recently, it has been snowing, and the accumulated snow has seeped to the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, it did not snow again today. Otherwise, those treasures would have been drowned. You are also unlucky. Why did you pass by there and get caught to carry the buckets? It is the most tiring work. "
"Isn't it!" The man said with annoyance: "If it were not to see that little bitch, I would not go to the back garden. But if I didn't see her, I would have panicked. It is the New Year, and we have to eat meat. Otherwise, we don't know when His Highness will return to the south, and we will die of thirst. I wanted to get close to that bitch while His Highness was not in the manor. Who knew that after the fire was extinguished, someone came in front of me. I had no choice but to sneak away from the back mountain. "
The other person laughed: "It seems that not only your hands are shaking, but your legs are also shaking!"
The two people laughed evilly, and then got up to leave.
Feng Yu Heng rolled her eyes upon hearing this. The servants of the manor really did not have any better ideas for cheating with their maidservants. If it was not a garden, it would be a fake mountain. In any case, it would be a room. In the future, how would she be able to walk around the garden? She thought about it. Aside from hidden guards, there did not seem to be any young male servants in her manor. There were men in the front yard, but they were all old men. They were honest people. She should not have chosen wrong. While she was fooling around and thinking, she began to move.
Garden, back mountain. Although she did not know the exact route, going around the back of the five-section courtyard was not wrong. The Sheng Palace had a five-section courtyard, and it was of the same scale as the residences of the other princes. It was just that the interior was built according to one's preferences. It sounded like there was a mountain behind the Sheng Palace. It should not be very high, or else she would not have noticed it. The two servants had said that there was a leak at the bottom of the mountain that had nearly drowned the treasures. If she had not guessed incorrectly, it should be the Sheng Palace's treasury. It seemed that it had also been built underground, but it had not been built properly. Otherwise, it had not been maintained for a long time, and it had leaked. It seemed that the master was not in the manor all year round. Even the servants were fooling him and did not maintain it properly. Even such an important place could leak. Really.
As she thought about it, she quickly moved to the back. When she finally reached the back, she found that there were even more hidden guards here. She could identify ten of them, and this did not include the ones that she could not identify. Feng Yu Heng was also a little nervous. When she had peeked out for the last time, she had already seen the small mountain in front of her. It was just a stone mountain that had been built by man. It looked like a landscape and was very short, but if it was said that the ground had been hollowed out, then the area would be much larger.
Her space was limited. If she wanted to enter the mountain, she would need to move around again. This time, she feared that she would be exposed in the middle. How could she avoid being tracked by the hidden guards?
She furrowed her brow as she thought. In the end, she set her eyes on the second floor of her space. Going up to the second floor, she would quickly pass through the air. She feared that no one would notice, right? After all, no one could suddenly appear in the air without any warning. The hidden guards' attention would also not be focused there. Of course, she could not eliminate the possibility of being discovered, but she just needed to move a little faster. As long as she could enter her space, there should not be any problems.
This was a very risky move. Feng Yu Heng went up to the second floor. After choosing the exit, she calmed her mind and used her fastest speed to leave. When she entered her space once more, she could clearly feel the sound of wind blowing through the air.
She was greatly shocked. She had been discovered!
