It looks very solid and should be stepped on continuously.
Xiao Lingyue listened to the rustling movement outside the hall, curled her lips, and slowly stepped back a few steps. Then she jumped onto the table with a running start. She deftly stepped on the table with her toes to gain strength, and jumped up.
Like a nimble cat, it silently jumped up to the rafters.
After standing firm, Xiao Lingyue stepped on the beam and walked to the edge, and soon reached a position close to the wall.
The architecture of the palace is very unique.
The roofs are all slope-shaped, high in the center and low around the edges.
The roof is covered with bright yellow glazed tiles, which are connected together and look majestic from a distance.
But that doesn't matter.
Xiao Lingyue was just looking for a more convenient way to go out.
The doors and windows are locked.
But there is no lock on the roof. Can't we just lift the glazed tiles to get out?
Xiao Lingyue thought sarcastically: I wonder which fool came up with the idea of closing the door? Do you think she is a weak aristocratic lady in the capital? Isn't it easy to climb a beam?
Close to the wall, she could touch the roof with her hand, and after a few gropings, she found the gap in the tiles.
Insert the dagger into the gap, pry it up, and the dust will fall down.
"Ahem..." Xiao Lingyue choked twice, reached out and waved away the dust, and took out the loose glazed tile.
A beam of light immediately penetrated into the house.
Then just follow the same pattern.
The palace's glazed tiles were three layers thick. It took Xiao Lingyue a lot of effort to dig out a hole in the roof that could allow people to pass through. She stuffed the dagger back into her sleeves and rested her hands on the edge.
He jumped onto the roof with a single leap.
The top of the side hall is very high, which is a blind spot for normal people's perspective. In addition, there are flying eaves on the four corners, which is enough to hide traces.
As soon as Xiao Lingyue landed on the roof, she climbed up and looked down, and saw a few sneaky figures walking towards the hiding place of the overlapping palace walls in the distance.
She leaned down and squinted her eyes to look carefully.
It turned out to be three palace ladies.
One led the way, and the other two supported him on the left and right, supporting a young girl in the middle who had her head lowered and couldn't see her face clearly. The group of people sneaked around the palace wall and came this way.
What do you want to do?
Xiao Lingyue was curious. Because the distance was a bit far away, she couldn't see the girl's face clearly.
Finding that these maids were all walking towards her, Xiao Lingyue thought for a moment and put the matter aside for the time being.
She looked down quietly.
Directly under the roof, corresponding to the rear window of the palace, is a small garden with lush vegetation and a cobblestone path leading to the back door. Outside the back door is the palace road extending in all directions.
Under normal circumstances, the back door of such an uninhabited side hall should be locked.
but now.
Xiao Lingyue glanced at it and saw that the back door was ajar and the door lock above had been unlocked.
Someone slipped in quietly.
There are still footprints on the cobblestone path. It is obvious that this infiltrator is very average and cannot even do the cleanup work well.
Xiao Lingyue sneered in her heart and followed the footprints to look at the bushes in the garden. With almost no effort, she saw a piece of brown clothes exposed among the lush bushes.
really.
It's a man.
This unknown man was hiding in the bushes, poking his head around, and moving from time to time, his body brushing against the leaves of the bushes and making a thin sound.
Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows speechlessly: "..."
She finally knew where the rustling sounds she heard came from.
