The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Chapter 97 Breaking into Prince Rui's Mansion at Night

Mu Xiyue returned to her own residence after having dinner at the palace. It was hard to say whether there was anyone outside secretly watching the palace, so if she wanted to take action at night, she would have to wait until midnight.

Xiao Tao was very excited when she knew that Mu Xiyue was going to clean out the warehouse of the Rui Palace that night. "Miss, I will go with you and I can also give you some information."

Mu Xiyue knew that she wanted to join in the fun, but the Prince Rui's Mansion was different from the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion. There must be more guards patrolling at night. Xiaotao didn't have the lightness skills and was not suitable for taking risks.

"Just wait in the mansion. It's not easy to enter the Rui Palace. Qiyun will have to protect you when you go there. Don't let him be distracted."

Xiaotao thought about it and it made sense. She was the most receptive to advice, so she decided to wait in the mansion.

At midnight, Xiao Yibai and Qi Yun climbed over the wall and entered. Mu Xiyue didn't know how to perform Qinggong, so Xiao Yibai held her in his arms, and the three of them used Qinggong all the way to the outside of the courtyard wall on the side of Prince Rui's Mansion.

Mu Xiyue whispered to Xiao Yibai, "If you two are discovered, just leave by yourselves. Come back to pick me up when things calm down at the Rui Palace. I have a secret method that will prevent anyone from discovering me."

Following their pre-arranged plan, the three of them entered the Rui Palace from one side. Led by Qi Yun and Xiao Yibai, they easily avoided the patrolling guards outside and entered an empty courtyard. Although it was an uninhabited courtyard, it was guarded by quite a few. There were eight patrolling outside, and six hidden guards inside.

Xiao Yibai pointed out to Mu Xiyue the hiding places of the secret guards, which were scattered in different places in the yard, which made it a bit difficult to deal with.

Her wood vines couldn't be used at several different locations at such a distance at the same time. The group attack range of her wind ability could include all six secret guards, but the noise would be a bit loud and it would be difficult not to attract the guards outside the courtyard.

Xiao Yibai took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, put his lips to his ear and asked in a very soft voice: "Is there any way to deliver the drug to the secret guard?"

Mu Xiyue's ears were tickled by the hot breath he exhaled and almost made a sound. Xiao Yibai held her body tightly to prevent them from exposing themselves. Xiao Yibai was a little annoyed that he had gone too far and would never dare to do it again.

Mu Xiyue took the porcelain bottle from his hand and used the wind to send the drug to the secret guard hidden in the dark. This was not difficult. However, she couldn't use too strong a wind, otherwise the drug would be blown too far. She poured some powder on the handkerchief, and then used a light breeze to knock the person on the roof unconscious. The person on the roof was lying down, so he wouldn't roll down after being knocked unconscious.

Next came the two people in the corners of the corridor, then the one on the rockery, the one in the cave below the rockery, and finally the one in the tree. Qi Feng received Xiao Yibai's hint and flew over to catch the secret guard in the tree before he fell, bringing him to the ground safely.

This is the secret room of Prince Rui’s Mansion. The entrance to the secret room is inside the cave of the rockery.

Mu Xiyue didn't understand how these ancient people made their mechanisms. Xiao Yibai and Qi Yun fiddled with the cave wall for a few times, and a hole appeared on the ground inside the cave. Mu Xiyue happened to be standing on the cracked hole, and when the hole cracked, she fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Yibai was quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabbed her, so she didn't fall.

It was pitch black inside the cave, and the rockery blocked the moonlight outside, so it was impossible to see anything going on below the cave.

Mu Xiyue dug into her sleeve and pulled out a solar-powered flashlight slightly larger than her thumb. Xiao Yibai and Qi Yun stared at it in stunned silence. What could this thing be? It was so bright, much brighter than a night-shining pearl.

Now is not the time to be curious, and Mu Xiyue did not intend to explain. She had already given the gun to Xiao Yibai, so she would not avoid these two people with a flashlight.

Mu Xiyue shone a light into the cave and saw a stone staircase leading down at the entrance. She didn't know if there were any mechanisms inside the cave.

Xiao Yibai was about to go down when Mu Xiyue stopped him. "You two stay up there and guard. If you get discovered, just leave on your own and come pick me up later. I'll be fine."

How could Xiao Yibai let her go down alone? What if there were mechanisms inside? He had learned a lot of different things and was quite proficient in mechanical engineering. He asked Qiyun to guard up there while he took the lead and went down.

Mu Xiyue was in a dilemma. How could she collect the money and property with Xiao Yibai here? She decided to go down and take a look first!

The two men went down to the bottom of the cave. The space at the bottom was only three steps square. On one side was a bronze door. The lock on the bronze door was very complicated, and Xiao Yibai was not sure he could crack it.

Mu Xiyue was very hesitant about whether to take out the hydraulic pliers. Although the lock beam was much thicker than ordinary ones, it could be easily damaged with hydraulic pliers.

Mu Xiyue's tangled look made Xiao Yibai understand that she had the ability to break the lock. "I'll go up and take a look. See if there is any way to open the lock."

Mu Xiyue felt quite touched. Did this make her seem like she didn't trust him? But, forget it, she would break the lock first and worry about the rest later.

Xiao Yibai stood at the entrance of the cave for more than ten breaths when he heard a click. He knew that the lock had been broken, so he turned around and walked down again.

Mu Xiyue didn't know if there was any mechanism behind the bronze door, so she didn't dare to push it.

Xiao Yibai held her and stood aside, then pushed the door open with his foot. Mu Xiyue hurriedly shone the flashlight inside. There was no mechanism inside the door. After the two of them entered, they found a space of only a dozen square meters. There were more than twenty wooden boxes against the wall. In the wooden boxes were various small items such as jewelry, jade, porcelain, etc. There were also four small boxes containing silver ingots.

Mu Xiyue frowned and whispered, "It's unreasonable to put such a small thing in such a secluded place!"

These things are not as much as the treasures in the secret room of Mu Fengnian’s study. This doesn’t make sense.

The Prince Rui's Mansion has an open warehouse, and the guards there are also very strict. This secret room was accidentally discovered by Xiao Yibai's spies in the Prince Rui's Mansion. Logically, there must be more things in it than in the warehouse, otherwise there would not be six secret guards guarding it.

Mu Xiyue handed him the flashlight and took out another one from her sleeve. "This is for you. If it doesn't light up, expose it to the sun and it will light up again. If it still doesn't light up after being exposed to the sun, tell me and I will give you a new one."

Xiao Yibai took it without asking any questions and carefully looked for any hidden mechanism. He actually found a spot on the wall near the top. It was slightly smoother than the wall next to it, probably because it was touched frequently.

He used his light Kung Fu to leap upwards and pressed that position. The wall on one side slowly moved aside. Mu Xiyue shone the flashlight inside and found that this was what a secret room should look like.

The secret room was very large, at least nearly a hundred square meters, and it was filled with boxes of varying sizes. A rough count revealed that there were hundreds of small boxes. Based on her experience, these small boxes must contain gold bars or silver ingots. How much money would that be!

Against one side of the wall is a whole row of antique shelves filled with various ornaments, most of which are valuable items.

Mu Xiyue looked at Xiao Yibai in embarrassment. Xiao Yibai said, "We can't transport all of these things. Pick out the ones you like."

Mu Xiyue opened her mouth and wanted to ask him to wait for her outside, but she didn't know if he would be unhappy if she said that.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yibai saw that she seemed to be hesitant to speak and didn't understand what she meant.
