It's not easy to marry a male concubine
Chapter 56
Luo Lanyuan jumped from one eaves to another, with light steps like a cat.
At this time, the palace has completely returned to silence, and there is no sign that there has been a riot just now.
Luo Lanyuan didn't dare to get close to the restricted area, but stood on the wall and looked at it from a distance. There were shadows of guards swaying nearby, which was no different from the scene before he stole the medicine.
But what about the jade snail?Caught or escaped?Luo Lanyuan turned her head and looked in the direction of the dungeon. The dungeon is at the innermost part of the restricted area. Usually, people rarely go there except for the boy who delivers meals. It is said that the dungeon in the palace is very scary, and I don't know who is being imprisoned. If Yu If the snail is caught?Will he be sent to the dungeon for interrogation?
Luo Lanyuan gritted her teeth, and decided to risk herself by exploring the restricted area again.
At this moment, two night watch guards came down below, Luo Lanyuan quickly turned over and jumped onto the nearby tree, using Zhi Ye to block her figure.
The two guards chatted while walking, Luo Lanyuan raised her ears to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"The thief caught it just now?" one of the guards asked.
"No, I ran away! I heard that the thief suddenly disappeared while running, and threw all the stolen things on the road without taking them away at all." Another guard replied.
"It's like this?" The first guard frowned: "Could it be the one who turned the tiger away from the mountain?"
"The housekeeper also said the same thing." Another guard sighed: "Right now, the restricted area is searching from room to room for anything missing."
... No wonder the guards all returned to the restricted area, Luo Lanyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But where did the jade snail go?What the hell is running and disappearing?If he escaped, he should have come back to find him long ago.
Luo Lanyuan felt that something was wrong, so she quietly avoided the inspection route of the palace guards, and spared them the agreed escape location of Jinshi Pavilion.
It seems that the guards have all gone to the restricted area, and the Jinshi Pavilion is empty, and there is no one there.
Luo Lanyuan turned around and found nothing, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the dry well in the middle of the yard.
Luo Lanyuan walked over, lay down on the edge of the dry well and took a look.
The dry well was dark and deep like a bottomless pit, and nothing could be seen.
Luo Lanyuan took out the night pearl that was going to be used on the basement floor of the pharmacy, and pointed it at the bottom of the dry well.
"—Ah!" There was a short exclamation from under the dry well.
"Jade snail? Is it a jade snail?" Luo Lanyuan asked in surprise.
"Master?" Yuluo's voice came from the bottom of the well.
It turned out that when Yuluo ran to Jinshi Pavilion, she wanted to set fire to it, but she slipped her foot and fell off the roof. It happened that she just fell into the dry well in the middle of the yard. She was not injured because she restarted her light work in time .
"Master woo woo woo, luckily you found me, I thought I was going to starve to death at the bottom of this well." Yuluo cried with snot and tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, too loud will attract people!" Luo Lanyuan quickly stopped him: "Can you still fly up with lightness kung fu?"
Yuluo sobbed and said, "No, this well is only two people wide in diameter, and it's difficult for me to lift my legs."
Luo Lanyuan rubbed her hair irritably. You must know that in such a narrow area, flying up with lightness is different from flying down. The most Yuluo can do is to push on the wall of the well to slow down the speed of descent when falling. Avoid falling, but it is too difficult to fly up with light work.
"Don't panic, wait until I find a long rope to pull you up, unless I call your name, no one will make a sound." Luo Lanyuan comforted him.
Then, he quickly left Jinshi Pavilion, went back to Jiang Liye's yard - Tingfeng Pavilion, and unloaded the rope hanging the bucket in the well of Tingfeng Pavilion.
Luo Lanyuan stretched the rope, which was about half the thickness of an adult's arm, very strong and long enough, so she sneaked back to Jinshi Pavilion with the rope.
It took Luo Lanyuan more than half an hour to pull the jade snail up, both master and servant were exhausted.
"Sir, master." Yuluo crouched on the ground panting heavily: "Let's go back quickly? Because I disappeared in Jinshi Pavilion, so they will go to check the restricted area first for fear of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. After searching the restricted area, they will probably go back. Come to Jinshi Pavilion to find clues, it's too dangerous for us to stay here."
"Let's go." Luo Lanyuan helped Yuluo up: "When you get back later, pack up and sleep first, I still have things to do."
"I'm fine!" Yuluo wiped the sweat from her forehead: "What else is there to do, young master? I'll be with you."
Luo Lanyuan helped Yuluo back to Tingfeng Pavilion, and asked Yuluo to summon a paper figurine with blood from her fingertips, and then asked Yuluo to change her night clothes for it.
Yuluo was puzzled: "Young master, what are you doing?"
Luo Lanyuan didn't reply, but took out the "hair grass" human skin mask, and covered the face of the paper figurine.
"So young master, are you trying to disguise the person who stole last night as a grass?" Yuluo said in surprise, "But then you won't be able to sneak out of the palace in the future!"
"No need." Luo Lanyuan said: "This identity was discovered and threatened by Jiang Louyue, and it can no longer be used anyway."
Then Luo Lanyuan took out two arrows from his bosom.
"Master, where did this arrow come from? What are you doing with the arrow?" Yuluo asked.
"When I went to steal the medicine, I accidentally stepped on the mechanism. It was an arrow shot from a hidden weapon on the basement floor of the pharmacy." Luo Lanyuan replied.
Then, he inserted the arrow into the paper man's body, and turned the paper man into corpse mode.
The face of the paper figurine was innocent, and the place where the arrow was pierced was still oozing blood, as if he had been killed by the arrow.
Luo Lanyuan went out with the paper figurine on his back, and secretly threw it in the open space outside the back door of the palace.
"I've wronged you." Luo Lanyuan patted the paper figurine's head: "I'll bring you back as soon as the storm is over."
The paper man could not speak, and lay on the ground obediently pretending to be dead.
After finishing everything, a big stone in Luo Lanyuan's heart finally fell to the ground. He clapped his hands, pretended nothing happened and went back to his room to sleep.
Jiang Liye was still lying on the bed with his back to him, Luo Lanyuan was too sleepy, he couldn't care less, fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
As a result, I was woken up by a commotion early the next morning.
Luo Lanyuan had only slept for two hours, and was so sleepy that stars stared at his eyes, Jiang Liye also rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.
"Why is the back door so noisy? What happened?" Jiang Liye rubbed his eyes and asked.
It is guaranteed that the body of the paper man was found.Luo Lanyuan thought to herself, but said, "I don't know? Why don't you go and have a look?"
The two put on their coats, got up and went to the back door of the palace.
There was already a circle of people around the back door. Take a closer look, the princes and concubines, the wives and concubines of each house with their children, the butler and the chief guard were all present. It was the first time that Luo Lanyuan saw such a complete crowd in the palace.
The head guard went forward to inspect the corpse: "...It should be the accomplice who committed the crime. It wasn't this person who stole the things. The mechanism of the pharmacy was activated yesterday, and this person was stuck with an arrow from the pharmacy mechanism."
"Sure enough, it's to tune the tiger away from the mountain." The housekeeper frowned: "Fortunately, there are traps in every room in the restricted area."
"So their real purpose is to steal things from the pharmacy?" The head guard touched his chin.
King Xuanyang looked at the dead body on the ground with an extremely ugly expression, and Jiang Louyue standing behind him did not look much better.
"Who is this person? Does anyone know him?" King Xuanyang asked with a gloomy expression.
Luo Lanyuan and Jiang Louyue looked at each other, neither of them dared to recognize.
"Check! Check out this person's identity for me!" Xuanyang King said angrily.
This was the first time that Luo Lanyuan saw the good-tempered King Xuanyang get so angry. After all, in such an important period, there was such a thief of unknown origin, so it was no wonder that King Xuanyang was so angry.
As a result, the matter at the back door has not been resolved, and another accident happened at the front door.
The old man at the door came trotting all the way: "Report to the prince! There is a woman in red crying at the front door!"
Everyone's attention was drawn by the gatekeeper, and they all looked in the direction of the front door.
"What's the matter?" King Xuanyang frowned.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention being attracted away, Luo Lanyuan quickly took the paper figurine back.
Only Jiang Liye saw him do this, but Jiang Liye just took a look and didn't say anything.
"Come and take the corpse away, and I will go to the front door to have a look!" King Xuanyang said.
Several guards were ordered to turn around to carry the corpse.
"Ah!" The guard closest to him looked back at the position of the corpse and yelled in panic.
"Screaming and shouting, what is it?" King Xuanyang glared at the guard, who quickly knelt down, but still cautiously pointed in the direction of the corpse: "My lord, my lord, the corpse is gone!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and they were all startled.
"What the hell is going on here?!" King Xuanyang roared, the wives, concubines and servants next to him fell to their knees, and Luo Lanyuan quickly followed suit.
"Speak? Is the blue sky haunted by the sun?" King Xuanyang slammed his fan.
Then it came to the popular part of throwing the pot, and the housekeeper asked tremblingly, "Who inspected the corpse just now?"
The head guard knelt at the front, sweating all over the floor: "...it's my subordinate."
"Did you find nothing wrong when you checked the corpse?" King Xuanyang asked him with a sullen face.
"Time is running out... The subordinate did not check very carefully... It can only be seen that he was killed by an arrow..." The chief guard said intermittently, and suddenly he seemed to think of something: "...The subordinate understands!"
Then he kowtowed heavily to the ground: "It's my subordinate's negligence. The corpse may be a fake corpse created by magic. It will disappear when the time is up!"
Luo Lanyuan knelt on the ground and bowed her head, thinking that although it wasn't quite right, it was about the same, unfortunately you remembered too late.
King Xuanyang blew his beard and stared angrily, the enemy was in the dark but he was in the light, and he didn't know where the enemy came from and what he wanted to do, this feeling was as passive as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Luo Lanyuan couldn't bear it anymore, he really wanted to tell King Xuanyang that nothing happened, it was me.
"...Forget it, let's all get up." King Xuanyang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Let's all go to the front door first."
At this time, the palace has completely returned to silence, and there is no sign that there has been a riot just now.
Luo Lanyuan didn't dare to get close to the restricted area, but stood on the wall and looked at it from a distance. There were shadows of guards swaying nearby, which was no different from the scene before he stole the medicine.
