Chapter 241
Chapter 241
The footsteps of the patrol gradually faded away, and Biyao, who was standing tightly behind the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she have the leisure to look at the furnishings in the house.
There is no light in the house, and there is no moon tonight, everything in the house looks chaotic and unclear, but this is not a problem for Baguio, those beautiful blue eyes are like cats, and at this moment they finally play their most important role the use of--
Baguio is born with strong night vision ability, which is why she chooses to act in such a dark night, because in such an environment, she can maximize her advantages.
Unexpectedly, as the Prince Regent, Fei Fusu's study was not so luxurious and rich, on the contrary, it was not as good as some wealthy businessmen she had sneaked into.
The most iconic furnishings in the house are a collapsed bed, a desk and chairs, and the remaining large space is filled with several shelves of books.
Baguio's first reaction was to look for a hidden compartment in the study. After carefully inspecting the bed and desk, her eyes naturally moved to those bookshelves.
However, there are a lot of books on the bookshelf. If you check them one by one, it may be dawn, which is obviously unrealistic.
Baguio sighed slightly, and began to search from the bookshelf closer to the book case.
She knew that some people would habitually place the dark compartment within easy reach on weekdays, so she tapped on the utensils placed next to her before carefully observing the arrangement of books on the bookshelf.
Fei Wusu's collection of books is quite rich, most of the ones close to the book case are archives, history books, military books and the like, and looking further ahead are the Four Books and Five Classics, masterpieces, some strange novels, and strange ones, which actually cover everything.
This also brought a lot of trouble to Baguio. She tried several times, taking books from the bookshelf, or pushing some books that seemed to follow a pattern, but she never activated the hidden compartment or It's a secret room.
Just when she was at a loss and was considering whether to give up, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the house, and the string in her mind was uncontrollably tensed in an instant, and she hurriedly restored the book in her hand and hid it under the heavy Behind the bookcase, hiding in the shadows.
The one approaching with the lantern was the setting sun, Baguio heard him saying to the patrol team outside:
"I'm here to get some files for the master."
The voice of the guard responded muffled through the doors and windows:
"The master is still awake at this time? I didn't expect that His Majesty will rely on the master more and more in the years after the Queen Mother abdicated, but the official duties are too busy."
Xie Yang then warned:
"Speak carefully, you and I can talk about the affairs of the court at will?"
The guard just shut up. After Xieyang unlocked and entered the door, he first lit the candlestick on the desk, and then held the candlestick to look for the file on the bookshelf.
Baguio was hiding behind a bookshelf less than three feet away from him. Whenever the setting sun looked back at the shadow cast by the candlestick on the wall, he could see a petite figure behind him, hiding tightly against the bookshelf.
Xie Yang quickly found the file he needed, put the candle holder back, blew out the candle, turned and closed the door and left.
After the sound of the setting sun's footsteps gradually disappeared, Baguio's tense muscles relaxed, and only then did he realize that a thin layer of sweat was oozing from his forehead.
She didn't care about wiping off her sweat, and hurriedly continued to search. For a moment, the actions of Xie Yang when she searched for the files appeared in front of her eyes, and her mind flashed like lightning, and she hurried to the bookshelf where the files of various colors were placed.
Just now when Xieyang was looking for the files, he almost subconsciously skipped one place, obviously there is no difference between the files, but he just missed this place, there must be a mystery in the middle.
She tentatively took down the stack of files, and as expected, she saw a familiar mechanism inside. She had seen dozens of such mechanisms, if not a hundred. It is to open the secret room.
Seeing that the purpose of this trip is right in front of her eyes, even though she is experienced, she is inevitably a little excited, and she is about to reach out to touch the mechanism.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door:
"who!"
Baguio was startled, Dang even put the file back, and quickly escaped through the window of the study room, habitually without making any sound.
After she fled far away like a frightened bird, she didn't find anyone chasing her. She hesitated for a while, and stayed under the wall for a while, overheard the conversation between the patrolling guards, and realized that the stern shouting just now wasn't aimed at her at all. own, but someone else broke into the Regent's Palace.
Baguio couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that the goal was only one step away from him, but he missed the opportunity because he was too nervous.
However, it is unrealistic to go back at this time. One is that someone broke in just now, and the guards in the study will only be stricter. The other is...
Baguio stretched out her hand to support the wall, and forcibly swallowed the blood overflowing from her throat, the effect of the blood red pill was about to wear off, and if she didn't go back to the small courtyard, she would not be able to get out of the Prince Regent's Mansion alive even if she succeeded.
Taking advantage of the darkness, she quickly returned to the small courtyard the same way, and fell silently into the room through the window.
At this time, the commotion from the study room spread to the small courtyard, Yang Shutong was awakened, worried that something might happen to Baguio, he rushed to see her, happened to see Biguio lying on the bed, sleepy, as if he had just been awakened by the commotion.
Seeing Yang Shutong coming to see her, Bi Yao rubbed her eyes and yawned a long time before asking:
"What's going on outside, why is it so noisy?"
Yang Shutong had already asked the guards when he came, so he replied:
"It is said that an assassin has sneaked into the Regent's Palace, but it is said that he has been caught, and he will be fine in a while. Go to sleep, and the wound will heal soon after you sleep."
Baguio nodded, turned his back and continued to sleep, Yang Shutong also went back to his room upon seeing this.
What he didn't know was that the moment after he left, Baguio couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body became weak in an instant, unable to move, and even his breathing slowed down in pain.
Even so, Baguio still held on, and threw the night clothes under the bed, together with the bloody silk cloth, under the bed, and closed her eyes with difficulty.
The next day, when the doctor came back for a review, it wasn't that she was pretending that her injury was difficult to heal, but that she was actually suffering from repeated injuries, and the doctor shook her head.
It was also rare for Lou Rongrong to visit her again, seeing that although she looked ugly, she was still in good spirits, so she specifically asked the maidservant to serve her more attentively, and even brought more expensive healing herbs.
However, after all, Baguio will not recover from her injuries as she wished.
A few days after that night, Baguio felt that she was recovering fairly well, and it happened to be another long dark night, she took the blood red pill again, and went to Fei Wusu's study with ease.
