Xiao Lingyue stood alone in the quiet hall, turned around, and looked around calmly.
The hall was empty, there was nothing.
It looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time. Although it was clean, there was a chill in the air.
What did Concubine Shu want to do by trapping her in such a deserted side palace?
Xiao Lingyue thought for a moment but couldn't come up with an answer.
The clothes on her body were still wet.
The sticky sweet soup smeared on the chest and clung to the skin, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Forget it." Xiao Lingyue said to herself, "Since we have already taken action, there is no need to make any more guesses. Let's change our clothes first."
What's more, it's just a side hall.
If she really wants to go out, locking the doors and windows won't trap her, so there's nothing to worry about.
It's just a matter of picking and choosing.
Xiao Lingyue turned around and walked back to the table, reached out to untie her belt, took off her dirty clothes, and threw them aside.
The underwear she was wearing was also a little wet, but fortunately it was not serious. Xiao Lingyue simply wiped it off and put on the clothes sent by the maid in charge.
"Huh?"
As soon as her fingers passed through the sleeves, Xiao Lingyue suddenly paused and felt something was wrong.
She took off her clothes with her backhand and touched along the sleeves. She felt an inconspicuous bulge on the inside of the sleeve near her elbow.
"So it's hidden here..." Xiao Lingyue sneered, and she said that there must be something fishy about trying so hard to get her to change clothes.
Don't know what's hidden inside?
Xiao Lingyue turned the sleeve over and saw that the inside of the sleeve was sewn with a piece of fabric of the same color, which was very inconspicuous.
Especially at the elbow position, most people don't notice it.
If you don't just touch it, or if you turn the clothes over to check, you won't be able to find such a layer inside the sleeves.
The small sandwich is sewn tightly.
Xiao Lingyue took out the thin-edged dagger she carried with her and cut the suture along the edge of the sandwich.
A small bag of white stuff fell down.
"What's this?"
Xiao Lingyue picked it up and opened it. There was some pink powder inside, exuding a pungent and strange aroma.
She suddenly frowned and almost laughed angrily.
"It's such a dirty trick again..."
At this time, some strange movements came from outside the quiet palace, like someone carefully hiding in the grass, moving slowly and making a very slight rustling sound.
Xiao Lingyue immediately calmed down, wrapped the small paper bag in her hand as it was, stuffed it into her arms, and then quickly checked other parts of her clothes to make sure they were OK before putting them on her body and fastening her belt.
The sound of movement outside the hall continued.
Xiao Lingyue listened to the sound and identified her position, and found that the sound came from the back window of the side hall.
The doors and windows have been locked, making it impossible to get out.
The windows of the palace are not like those in modern movies and TV dramas. They are just covered with window paper and poke a hole with your finger. Xiao Lingyue has just seen it. The windows of this side hall are covered with high-quality window screens, which are soft and flexible.
solid.
In other words, you can't pierce it with your fingers unless you use a sharp weapon.
But doing so will definitely alert the enemy.
Xiao Lingyue looked around and looked directly above at several intertwined mahogany beams.
