When Su Shengsheng came back from outside, she started eating lunch before she had rested for long.

"I didn't expect life in ancient times to be so comfortable. All they did was eat, sleep, and then go shopping."

Su Shengsheng, who was a little full from eating, was lying on a deck chair in the yard to digest the food, swinging her legs leisurely, feeling so comfortable.

Qiu Er brought out a pot of tea, "Princess, have some tea."

"Well, leave it there." Su Shengsheng said with his eyes closed.

In her past, she was busy with work all day and had no good rest. Now Su Shengsheng has to make up for the missed rest time.

Su Shengsheng put her hands on her belly and patted it. Thinking of the herbs in the garden, she felt it would be a pity not to pick some. She thought, "How about picking some secretly at night?"

Thinking of this, Su Shengsheng decided to pick some herbs in the evening to enrich his medical space, and then run away tomorrow.

Night slowly fell, and Su Shengsheng sent Yi Liu and Yi Wan away, leaving Qiu'er alone.

Qiu Er looked at her young lady rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something and asked in confusion, "Princess, what are you looking for?"

"Do you have any darker colored clothes?"

"The princess's clothes are all light-colored."

Su Shengsheng stopped what she was doing and said, "Ah, there isn't a single dark color?"

"No." Qiu'er shook her head.

Su Shengsheng sat at the table. That was a problem. Without dark clothes, how could she steal herbs? No, how could she pick herbs?

Seeing Su Shengsheng frowning, Qiu'er thought for a moment and said, "Princess, if you don't mind, I have dark blue clothes, but they're not really dark."

Su Shengsheng stood up immediately and said, "Bring it to me quickly."

Qiu'er quickly brought her clothes over, and Su Shengsheng began to take off her clothes without saying a word, saying, "I have to go out in a while, you stay here."

"Where are you going, Princess?"

Su Shengsheng took off the hairpin on her head and said, "If I told you, you wouldn't let me go."

"Princess, this is the Regent's Palace. You must not act recklessly."

"Oh, don't worry, I'm a weak woman, how can I mess up? Help me change my clothes quickly."

Qiu'er now began to believe what her young lady said about not being a young lady. She looked like two completely different people. The previous young lady would not run out in the middle of the night.

With Qiu'er's help, Su Shengsheng changed into a maid's clothes. It turned out that Su Shengsheng had a good figure. Although she was a little thin, her figure was quite even.

It's this thing on the face that affects the appearance.

Su Shengsheng took a black veil to cover her face and said to Qiu'er, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Qiu'er wanted to stop him, but when she thought of the silver needle in her young lady's hand, she gave up. Rather than being knocked unconscious by the princess, it would be better to wait here obediently for the princess.

"Then be careful, princess."

"Got it." Su Shengsheng blew out the candle before leaving, and specifically told Qiu'er to go to bed and rest if she was tired.

Relying on her memory from the day, Su Shengsheng dodged the guards and smoothly made her way through the flowers and trees to a garden full of herbs.

Su Shengsheng looked inside quietly and saw that there were no guards guarding the place, so she walked straight in.

Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly. Su Shengsheng was secretly delighted. "It seems that the two girls exaggerated too much." Then she rubbed her palms and said with a smile: "Baby, I'm coming!"

As soon as he stepped into the herb garden, a dart flew towards him. Su Shengsheng quickly grabbed a handful of herbs nearby and was forced to roll out.

The dart hit the wall next to him. Su Shengsheng got up from the ground and looked at the dart that was shining silver. "Oh my god, that was a close call!"

"Who's there?"

The noise just now had alarmed the guards patrolling outside. Su Shengsheng heard many footsteps approaching. There were quite a few guards coming, so it seemed that there was no way to go back the same way.

Su Shengsheng looked at the garden inside. Judging from the darts just now, although there was no one guarding it, there must be a lot of hidden weapons.

Looking at the stream not far ahead, Su Shengsheng gritted his teeth and jumped in. Before jumping, he did not forget to throw the herbs in his hand into the space.

With a plop, as soon as Su Shengsheng jumped in, the guards ran in.

"Search quickly!" ordered the leading guard.

"Yes." The guards immediately spread out and began searching.

The only thing no one goes into is the herb garden.

"Boss, no one."

"Neither do I."

Several guards came back from the search and said respectfully.

Fortunately, Su Shengsheng had learned to dive, otherwise he would have lost his life tonight.

The leading guard frowned and glanced at the herb garden. One of the guards said, "Boss, could it be in there?"

"No, there are so many traps inside that she can't get in."

The leading guard looked around and said, "Search outside!"

"Yes."

After the group of people left, Su Shengsheng emerged from the water, climbed onto the shore, and sat down on the ground panting.

"You really can't barge into this palace." He wiped the water off his face.

Another voice sounded, "Hurry, the assassin may still be inside."

"How come these guards react so quickly!" Su Shengsheng complained and dived back into the water.

The guards started searching again, and Su Shengsheng covered her mouth and pressed against the underwater rock wall.

"Have you found the person?" Ling Su asked seriously.

"Sir Ling, not yet." The leading guard said respectfully.

Ling Su walked by the water, "Have you checked underwater?"

"No."

"What are you waiting for?"

"My subordinates will go check it out right now."

Then he pointed to the two guards next to him and said, "You two go down and see if there is anyone inside."

"Yes."

Su Shengsheng frowned in the water. He was really sick that he even checked in the water. Then he quickly swam away along the current.

"Pfft."

Two guards jumped in and emerged from the water a moment later, "Head, there's nothing underwater."

The leading guard motioned for him to come up, then looked at Ling Su and said, "Master Ling, look at this..."

Ling Su said expressionlessly: "You know the prince's methods. He can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If someone else breaks in here, your lives will be useless."

The leading guard immediately bowed and said, "Don't worry, Master Ling, we will definitely perform our duties conscientiously and patrol strictly."

Su Shengsheng swam along with the current, and when she felt it was about time, she emerged from the water, breathing heavily.

After resting for a while, I looked around and found that I was still in the palace.

Su Shengsheng climbed ashore and recognized at a glance that this was the yard she saw last night.

"Alas, this regent is really that unreasonable. He has to set up so many mechanisms just for a few herbs." Su Shengsheng muttered to himself as he walked forward.

When passing by that yard, Su Shengsheng recognized where the yard where she lived was. Her yard was relatively remote, and few patrolling guards would go here.

Su Shengsheng didn't dare to delay along the way and hurried back to her yard without stopping.

When Qiu Er heard the door open, she immediately got up from the table and asked quietly, "Who?"
