Chapter 183: Meeting Late at Night
At night, the full moon sneaked into Xiuya Garden alone.
Linghu Pingxue had already fallen asleep, and the full moon entered the study and followed her memory to search for useful clues.
Although this method is risky, time is tight now, so she cannot continue to wait. She will look for clues on the day of playing chess and must take the initiative to attack.
"You will find dawn like this."
Suddenly, a low magnetic sound slowly rang out, and the full moon shuddered, and then he continued to look for it without raising his head.
"Is the Fifth Prince sleepwalking or meet the second sister in private late at night? If you meet the second sister in private, the second sister's room is next door." Man Yuetou said without raising her head.
Lin Dongyao stood behind the desk in black, with a slender body upright and proud, but at this moment he wrapped his hands around his chest, tilting his head and looking around with interest.
Tonight, the spy sent a message. She ran to the yard of the second wife of the Hou Mansion without sleeping in the middle of the night. According to her temperament, if the situation was not urgent, she would not have used the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain to transfer the second wife away, and then ran here.
"Have you found it?" Lin Dongyao was not annoyed at Man Yue's teasing, but instead looked at her with patience.
"If the fifth prince doesn't show up, my work efficiency will be faster." The mother moon has transferred the location he was looking for from the desk to the bookshelf. Although he cannot guarantee that there will be 100% gains, since Linghu Pingxue has moved here to live with the second wife, saying that it is to facilitate the second wife to take care of the injured, but to put it bluntly, the second wife should know the secret of Linghu Pingxue, and there will naturally be clues here.
The full moon flipped over the desk and gently tapped on the bookshelf.
A rare trace of curiosity flashed in Lin Dongyao's eyes.
The next moment, after the full moon was placed, a blue and white porcelain vase on the bookshelf was turned, the bookshelf suddenly opened from both sides, forming a door.
"There is a secret sign." Chunyue exclaimed in a low voice, and was about to walk in, when her arm was suddenly grabbed by Lin Dongyao.
"I'm in front." He spoke in a deep voice.
Sometimes I really admire her courage and courage. It was pitch black inside and she left without hesitation.
If it is an ordinary family daughter, he will never dare to take a step forward.
How did Lin Dongyao know, what darkness is to the full moon? When she returned to the Hou Mansion, she lived in the darkest and most humid room of the He family. Even during the day, she had to light the light to see the decorations in the house. But Aunt He was willing to let her light light, and at night she could only go to bed and rest with the dim moonlight. As for snakes, insects, rats and ants, she was a regular visitor to her room all year round.
Darkness is not scary. The most terrifying thing is that when she thinks she has found light and thinks it will be a lifelong support, but in the end it will be a deep abyss! She may not even be reborn once, but instead she has to be reborn with memories.
Seeing Man Yue standing there in a daze, Lin Dongyao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, but he felt an indescribable complex feeling in his heart. From the first time he saw her at the He family, the mother and daughter of the He family bullied her at first, who were obviously weak and incompetent, but when they left and turned around, he saw a face that was as vast as an frozen lake. With an indescribable complexity and depth, the deep vision flowing in his eyes was like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable but cold and ruthless.
Lin Dongyao really couldn't figure out why a girl under fourteen years old would have such a look!
After that, every time she appeared in front of him, she brought him a different feeling and impact.
Now, what he is most interested in her is not because of her cooperative relationship with Lin Jian, but because of her person. Otherwise, he would not have appeared in the Hou's Mansion tonight!
He wouldn't show up to help her.
"Fifth Prince, this is my business, I really don't need your help. Please come back." Man Yue saw that Lin Dongyao was about to participate in it, so she couldn't help but persuade him tactfully.
This is the matter of the Hou Mansion, and Lin Dongyao really has no need to get involved.
But a certain master doesn't think so.
"The maid you've made has already found a way to lock the second wife in the hall of the Anping Palace. I guess you can't go out until dawn. You are quite good at finding people, and you are very capable. But no matter how capable you have, some things are not suitable for fighting alone. If you are discovered, don't you need someone to cover it?"
Lin Dongyao said slowly, then turned around and hid in the secret passage.
The stars lit up in the secret passage, which was the light emitted by the night pearls on Lin Dongyao's belt.
Seeing that he had already walked in, Man Yue could not drive him away with a stubborn move. Lin Dongyao is an enemy or a friend, and it is still difficult to tell when it is, but it is undeniable that if Man Yue wants to attack Lin Donghe, Lin Dongyao's power is indispensable.
Man Yue also walked in. The secret passage was not long, about seven or eight meters away, and there were tables, chairs and bookshelfs at the bottom, which were all kinds of, more like a separate room.
Man Yue saw a brocade box on the table, Lin Dongyao was about to pick it up for her, Man Yue hurriedly stopped it.
"Don't move for now."
"Are you worried about it being poisonous?" Lin Dongyao looked at the full moon in confusion.
"The table is covered with a thin layer of white powder. If your sleeves sweep across the table, you will take away some white powder. The next day, the second wife will come to see someone coming in."
Full Moon said, pointing to a thin layer of powder on the table.
Lin Dongyao was slightly stunned, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes.
She is less than fourteen years old, why has she been so meticulous in observation since she has been so meticulous?
The Moon was disrespectful to Lin Dongyao's surprise.
In her previous life, she helped Lin Donghe build a message across the entire Celestial Empire. She had seen hundreds of experiences of all kinds of secrets or treasures, or repeated criminals of the court, all of them were mined by the information she built.
Unfortunately, after she was arrested by Lin Donghe, the information naturally belonged to Lin Donghe.
Full Moon played with her sleeves, revealing half of her white arms. Under the dim light, Lin Dongyao's eyes flashed, his body was inexplicably hot, and his body temperature rose.
Man Yue also put a white handkerchief on his hand, gently uncovered the lid of the brocade box, and a faint fragrance emitting from it.
"This taste--" Lin Dongyao thought.
"It was the fragrant powder that Linghu Pingxue used before, but she only used it two or three times, and the taste was very clear and special. I guess this fragrant powder is extremely expensive, or just this box, otherwise Linghu Pingxue would also use it."
As Man Yue said, he put a little in a small porcelain bottle he carried with him.
"Do you like it? I'll ask you for it." Lin Dongyao spoke without hesitation. He was different tonight than usual, less cold and indifferent, and more more casual.
"I'm checking, I don't have time to discuss other things with Your Highness." Man Yue actually wanted to say that her relationship with Lin Dongyao stopped here and there would not be any further development. At most, she would stay on her partner. Lin Dongyao didn't have to give her anything. They rely on each other's cooperation to continue, and they had nothing to do with anything else.
The Moon's face was faint, but Lin Dongyao's heart was inexplicably moved.
Looking at her in the dim light, with a elegant face, calmness and nobility, with the calmness and calmness that women in the world rarely see, even in the face of the most dangerous situation, she can plan and escape danger. What touched him was not her cleverness and calmness, but more often it was the unfathomable flowing light in her eyes, which was difficult to capture, but made him worry about it all the time.
Man Yue ignored Lin Dongyao beside him and continued to walk in the secret room.
But because there are no lights in the secret room, the night pearls on the Moon's hand are too small, so the light is naturally not as good as those on Lin Dongyao's belt.
"Fifth Your Highness, borrow your belt."
Chunyue spoke in a calm tone.
The fifth prince blushed in the darkness.
"Are you sure?" He whispered, his voice a little dry and hoarse.
The Moon didn't look back and said lightly, "I'm working."
"..." Lin Dongyao responded silently.
The next moment, the belt that still had his body temperature reached the hands of Man Yue. Lin Dongyao awkwardly tidyed up the robe on his body, but no matter how much he sorted it out, the belt was gone, and the outer robe could only be opened to reveal the clothes inside.
Man Yue didn't mind this, she didn't watch it anyway.
Taking advantage of the light of the night pearl on Lin Dongyao's belt, Chunyue saw that several books placed on the bookshelf were strange. Unfortunately, the time was short, so she could not flip through them one by one, but just temporarily wrote down the title of the book.
"Stone Brocade Index", "Jade Award", "Hundred Jades and Thousands of Stones", these three books are all about jade, and they think they will be related to the cold and warm jade chess pieces.
Man Yue searched for a while and there was no other useful clue in the house. Before leaving, Man Yue pointed to the ground.
"Mrs. Second Lady is really cautious. There is powder on the ground, and our footprints are—" Full Moon pointed at the ground.
"Let my people deal with it." Lin Dongyao spoke in a low voice. Man Yue looked at the sky and nodded.
If she dealt with these white powders and restored the ground to its original state, it would be dawn if it was ready. She would hurry up and go back and find those three books now.
"Those three books are sent to you after dawn." Lin Dongyao knew what Man Yue was thinking, so he didn't talk too much, so he simply went straight to the point.
"I'm working." She still only has two words, and she seemed to be reluctant to say a word.
"Fifth Your Highness, your belt." Walking out of the secret room, Man Yue handed the belt to Lin Dongyao. Somehow, Lin Dongyao's face turned slightly red again.
The full moon is much more calm.
In her previous life, she was twenty-five or sixteen years older than Lin Dongyao, who was ten years older than the sixteen-year-old Lin Dongyao. After a lifetime of reincarnation, she will never have any trouble in her heart when facing anyone.
In her heart, she had already turned herself into two types of people who were completely different from them. She would never be able to attract each other for a day.
"Are you going back?" Lin Dongyao saw Man Yue looking at the window for a while, frowned and spoke lightly.
