If Minglan thought about it, this scholar was very rotten and he had to follow him without any worries, so just follow him.
Anyway, it's quite close to the palace.
"Okay, it's late at night and the prince's people probably don't know and dare not search the mountain. We have to hurry up." Ming Lanruo nodded.
The two of them turned around and set off. The hidden scholar looked coldly into the depths of the forest, and the shadows immediately followed them silently.
...
The journey was unexpectedly short, and in less than half an hour, we saw the side entrance of the palace.
He was stunned. He originally thought he could walk a few more steps with the young lady, but now he only had to climb the hillside to reach the side entrance of the palace.
Ming Lanruo grabbed a cane, tested its strength, and was about to climb up, when she saw Scholar Yin's expression was uncertain.
"What's wrong?"
The hidden scholar lowered his long eyelashes and said calmly: "It's okay, little lady, be careful."
Having said this, he raised his hand to support Ming Lanruo's waist, preparing to help her climb up the hillside.
At this time, they suddenly heard a "rustling" sound coming from the top of the hillside. The two of them looked at each other, alertness flashing in their eyes.
Why would someone come down from the hillside of the palace in the middle of the night?
Could it be that the assassins sent by the prince were guarding each door of the palace and would kill them when they appeared?
Scholar Yin didn't care, he just said softly: "Young lady, be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a round ball sliding down the hillside with a quick "gulu" and landed right between them.
...
The "ball" let go of a vine, shook its furry head, and exposed its four short legs.
"What is it, a wild civet cat?" Scholar Yin raised his eyebrows, this wild civet cat.
The "little raccoon cat" froze. Unexpectedly, he met someone just after he slipped out of the palace.
It raised its head and bared its teeth fiercely at Scholar Yin, scolding in a childish voice: "You are not a thing, I am a human being!!"
The fluffy 'little raccoon cat' vigilantly pulled up a tree trunk as thick as a person with his backhand and threw it at Scholar Yin without any explanation -
"Sneaking up to the palace in the middle of the night, you must be a bad guy!"
This scene is no less astonishing than seeing a rabbit lifting a bear.
The hidden scholar was stunned for a moment. He quickly turned sideways and directly avoided the opponent's attack.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, dust scattered in all directions, and the night birds were frightened.
Even in the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see a large pit made on the ground.
He raised his eyebrows coldly, is this Tangquan Mountain some kind of Wuhua Tianbao training ground? The fat spider before became a spirit, and now the fat civet cat has also become a spirit?!
The 'little raccoon cat' took advantage of the dust to disperse, quickly turned around and walked quickly into the forest with its little fat legs.
But he didn't expect that the next moment, someone would pick him up by the back of his neck.
"Ouch, ouch...let me go!" the 'little civet cat' screamed, kicking its chubby limbs.
This scene was strangely familiar. The hidden scholar had a cold face and instinctively carried the 'little raccoon cat' away from him.
It seems that...he once accidentally suffered a loss while carrying some 'little thing'.
But the next moment, Ming Lanruo reached out and hugged the little civet cat in his hand, and put it directly into his arms.
"Cang Mingxi, you little bastard is so impatient that you dare to sneak out of the palace for me in the middle of the night!"
The woman's angry and annoyed voice echoed through the dark forest almost instantly, and she was so rude that she didn't look like a noblewoman from aristocratic family.
Scholar Yin was stunned for a moment. He looked at the 'little raccoon cat' held in Ming Lanruo's arms in disbelief.
This ferocious little civet cat that has become a spirit is...that little cub of hers?!
No, that's not the point. The point is that it was the first time he heard the child's full name...
