C75 He Explored the Agarwood at Night

On the morning of the seventh day in the Prime Minister's estate, Yunshu ate a note in the bun. It was written to urge her to quickly steal the Netherworld Register, and the handwriting was quite familiar to her. It was Xiao Heng's. It was likely that his spies had placed them in her breakfast.

She took out her fire sickle and lit a candle. After burning the note into ashes, she left the room and went to serve the old mistress as she got up.

She had to go to the Prime Minister's Estate several times every day for the past few days. In the end, she found two places that were most likely hidden in the Netherworld Register. One was the Agarwood Tower in the southwest, which was used to store books. There were a total of three floors, and each floor was guarded by four guards with sabers. The other was the West's Tingyu Floor, Jiang Tong's study. It was said that Jiang Tong used to spend the rest of his time there, apart from eating and sleeping in the previous dynasty. Now, even his meal time was set there, and there were no less than ten guards guarding outside. It was unknown whether they were protecting Jiang Tong or the Netherworld Register.

Logically speaking, if she was in Jiang Tong's current situation... She would definitely place something that could protect her in a place that she could see at any time. The thing should be in the Listening Rain Pavilion. However, Xiao Heng said that Jiang Tong was very suspicious. Perhaps he liked to go against the rules this time. He felt that putting the Netherworld Register and the countless books in the Agarwood Pavilion together would be more difficult to find than just the study on the first floor.

Of course, this was under the circumstances that there were no secret rooms in the study.

So tonight, it was better to choose a random place to scout. In any case, the probability was fifty-fifty.

Yunshu focused on the matter at night and almost stepped on the madame's shoes in front of her. She quickly stopped and was somewhat puzzled as to why the old madam suddenly stopped. When she looked up, she realized that a middle-aged doctor with a medicine box on his back had appeared in front of them. Beside the doctor stood a servant from the Prime Minister's Estate.

The old lady asked, "Why is Doctor Lin in such a panic?"

"The Prime Minister suddenly fainted, and I came to your residence. Without saying anything else, Old Lady Jiang, I will take my leave now. "

When the Madam heard him say this, how could she still be in the mood to take a walk? She turned around and followed the doctor, leaving Yun Zhu and Ru Yi with no choice but to follow.

However, when Yun Zhu felt fortunate, Jiang Tong had fainted in Tingyu Xuan. Previously, she had never had the chance to enter, but now, she was able to take a rough look.

After entering, there were a few sets of tables and chairs used to treat guests. Next, there was a screen separating the area of handling affairs and treating guests. Behind the screen was an ancient rack and a few rows of bookshelves. Antiques and books were packed to the brim. At a glance, it was impossible to see if there were any empty seats. Outside the antique shelves was a long table. There were originally many reports handed over by the officials below. However, there were only some letters and brushes and ink left. It was a little desolate.

The unconscious Jiang Tong fell behind the long desk. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. At this moment, the doctor was squatting beside him to take his pulse.

Everyone anxiously locked their gazes onto the two people who were lying and squatting, with the exception of Yunshu. Her gaze still returned to the bookshelf behind the ancient rack and swept over the words on the book waist. However, in the end, she did not see anything strange. Instead, she was startled by the hand that suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.

"Do you know how long Uncle has been unconscious?" She didn't need to look back to know that it was You Jinshu's voice.

"We've been here for almost half an incense stick of time. We didn't know before."

You Jinshu nodded and walked to the madame's side to console her by holding the old lady's hand. "Grandma, don't worry too much. Uncle will be fine this time too. Wasn't it always like this before?"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Xunyang's voice sounded from outside the door. "Father!"

Immediately after, a person in ragged clothes stepped through the door and ran to the unconscious Jiang Tong. He knelt in front of him with a red lipstick mark on his face.

When the old mistress saw his appearance, she ran over and could not catch her breath for a moment. She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest. You Jinshu quickly helped the old mistress to the side and sat her down. He stroked her back to help her breathe. Wait. When the madame's breathing calmed down, she turned her head and scolded her cousin in a low voice, "You'd better clean up that body of yours before coming over. If uncle sees you... I'm so angry that I'll be angered to death by you. "

Disdain appeared on Jiang Xunyang's face, but this time, he did not argue with her. Instead, he stood up and left without saying a word. In less than a moment, he ran into Tingyu Floor again. At this moment, jiang Tong had also woken up. The doctor was sitting and writing a prescription. Yun Zhu also did not dare to brazenly observe whether there were any abnormalities in the surrounding decorations.

However, Jiang Tong's reaction after waking up gave her a general understanding of the location of the Netherworld Register. As an abandoned child of the Emperor, a person who could be killed by the faction's struggles at any time... After surviving a great disaster, he would naturally ensure that he was still in a relatively safe situation. However, when Jiang Tong opened his eyes just now, he did not glance at any part of the study. Instead, he called a guard outside the door and whispered something to him. Only then did he look at his mother, whose face was filled with worry, and spoke to console her.

Something more important than his mother's mood was probably the Netherworld Register. Unfortunately, she did not have Yang Siyuan's sensitive hearing, and it was also impossible for her to leave Tingyu Xuan and follow that guard. There were not many people in the study to begin with. It was too conspicuous to suddenly leave.

Thus, she could only wait until night fell before going to the Agarwood Tower, which was most likely to hide the dossier, to investigate.

"Dad, do you feel better now?" Jiang Xunyang walked to Jiang Tong's side and spoke with concern.

Jiang Tong, who had just been chatting and laughing with You Jinshu, immediately turned cold. "As long as you don't go out and cause trouble for me, I can definitely live for a few more years."

Jiang Xunyang's originally worried expression froze when he heard this. "Anyway, no matter what I do, you won't look at me in the eye. Whether I went out to cause trouble or not, in front of you, I don't have any room to defend myself, right? Many a time, I feel that You Jinshu is your son, I'm not." After he finished speaking, he fiercely glanced at You Jinshu, who was sitting next to his father. He flicked his sleeves and left.

The madame looked at the father and son who seemed to be innately antagonistic towards each other and shook her head and sighed. In the end, she simply ordered Yunshu and Ruyi to help her back to Jingan Hall.

When Warm Yang's afterglow left the green tiles and white walls, Yunshu also ended her work as a personal maidservant. She returned to her own room in the outer court. Speaking of which, the treatment of each room was still because she was a personal maidservant. If she was an ordinary servant, she would have to squeeze with someone else. It was also very inconvenient to move at night, but it was completely by accident. Before she moved in, she did not think of this at all. Fortunately, her luck was on her side at that time.

However, it was not easy to rely on luck most of the time, so she could only rely on herself for everything. So that night, she waited until late at night and estimated that it was time to change shifts at the Agarwood Restaurant before she went out. It was the first time she did such a sneaky thing in the Prime Minister's residence, which was heavily guarded. Naturally, the more cautious she was, the better.

She found the team of guards who were going to the Agarwood Restaurant to take over the previous shift and took advantage of the time when they passed by a fake mountain. Knocking out! It's over! The last person. She quickly took off the other person's coat and changed into a new one. Then, she tied him up and stuffed him into the fake mountain. After doing all this, she quickly caught up to the group in front of her.

However, the person who was second to last turned around and asked her, "Where did you go just now? I was almost discovered by the boss. "

Yunshu lowered her head and did not dare to raise it for a moment, afraid that the other party would see her face. She could only cover her stomach and put on an uncomfortable expression.

Fortunately, the other party immediately understood. "If you're uncomfortable, take a leave of absence and go back to your room to rest. It's fine to let the other classes take your place for one night."

Yunshu immediately waved her hand at him.

The other party sighed. "I knew you liked to hang on. Forget it, I don't care about you anymore." After saying this, he turned his head back.

Yunshu, who had her head lowered all this time, gently exhaled. This time, she could finally stretch her neck.

When the sound of the beating echoed, they arrived at the Agarwood Restaurant. At the same time, the group of people guarding the building also left their side. As they were at the end of the line, the guard Yun Zhu replaced was originally guarding one side of the first floor. This made it extremely convenient for her.

She took out the Soul Calming Incense that Xiao Heng had his spies secretly send to her room a few days ago and lit two pillars, which were inserted into the gaps near the corners of the windows. This thing not only had the same effect as its name, it also had the effect of calming one's mind and hypnosis, and it would also cause one's memories to become chaotic in the near future. It was a must-have item for thieves and dogs. She did not know where Xiao Heng had found such a good thing.

After the sound of yawning came from both sides and above, she slowly opened the window and quietly flipped in.

After landing, the tip of her nose was immediately surrounded by the scent of books. Borrowing the dim moonlight, she touched the four walls one by one. Finally, after confirming that there were no mechanisms on the first floor's wall, she turned her gaze to the rows of books. It was also at this moment. Several sounds of falling came from outside and upstairs. Only then did she dare to light the candles that she had brought. She began to flip through the books on the first floor.

But halfway through, she heard someone yawning and waking up. So she quickly turned over and closed the window. She took off the Soul Calming Incense that was stuck on both sides of the window and destroyed all traces of the corpse.

About an hour later, the sound of people coming downstairs came from upstairs. At the same time, there was the sound of a group of people approaching from not far away.

It seemed that there was no way to continue tonight.

Not long after brushing past the people who had changed shifts, they passed by that fake mountain again. Yunshu quickly hid inside and took off her outer clothes to put on the guard's body. She untied the rope on his body. She took off the thing that was stuffed into his mouth and lit the Soul Calming Incense. She put it under his nose and only left after seeing that he had inhaled quite a bit.

However, he did not know that the scene of her coming out of the fake mountain was coincidentally seen by a person who did not have the mood to sleep.

On the second day, Yunshu planned to add in the sedative that was more effective than the Soul Calming Incense. This way, the guards would be unconscious for a longer period of time, and she would also have the opportunity to search for more books.

However, just as she finished serving the old madam for breakfast, Jiang Xunyang came to greet her. However, this time, he did not bring a smiling welcoming spring, but a guard. Yunshu only felt that person was somewhat familiar, but did not remember where she had seen him before.

It was only when Jiang Xunyang walked to her side and asked her with a smile, "Did you rest well last night?" Only then did she remember that this guard was the one she knocked out last night... It shouldn't be that... Jiang Xunyang knew what she did last night, right?

She looked at the smiling handsome man in front of her and felt her heart skip a beat as a chill ran down her spine.
