Chapter 242: Almost exposed

"What is she doing out of the house?" Bei Liangye grabbed the maid from the bed, threw her to the ground, and asked fiercely.

"Slave, I don't know, but someone seemed to have come to report something to the Crown Princess earlier."

"Then I saw that the empress called another maid to report to the prince, and asked me to pretend to be her and wait on the bed."

"If anyone else comes, let the Queen's personal maid tell them that the Crown Princess is not feeling well and is not suitable to see guests, and ask them to leave and come back another day."

"I didn't expect that you, the Crown Prince, would come here in person. Only then did you reveal your secret."

The maid immediately knelt down on the ground. She had never seen the prince angry before, so she was so frightened that she kept kowtowing her head, and at the same time she did not forget to answer Bei Liangye in a stuttering voice.

It was a pity that the maid's answer did not make Beiliangye get the answer he wanted at all, and he was angry in his heart.

Bei Liangye only felt that Ruan Wanwan's sudden departure now confirmed that he had some shady relationship with the Sixth Prince. A wave of anger rushed to his head. Bei Liangye could not calm down, and his face was filled with suffocation.

Turned red.

The kneeling maid on the ground was still stammering: "Slave, I heard your lady talking about the Xiao family earlier, maybe she just wants to take a look now."

The maid quietly raised her head, secretly observed the Crown Prince's expression, and continued cautiously: "Maybe the Crown Princess just wants to relax. The Crown Prince doesn't have to worry so much. The Crown Princess is definitely looking towards you."

Bei Liangye keenly captured the key words in what the maid said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to come to life: "What did you say? Xiao family?"

"Slave, I'm not sure either..."

"Is she alone? Did she bring someone with her?"

"It seems...it seems not."

"Where did she get the courage? How dare the Xiao family go in alone!"

Bei Liangye slammed the table, very angry, but he knew that he would not be able to ask any questions if he continued like this, so he waved his hand and asked the maid to retreat.

It goes without saying that the Xiao family is dangerous. Even if he, Bei Liangye, wants to break in, he still has to think carefully. How can she, Ruan Wanwan, be so sure that she can break in? What will happen to you if something happens to you?

It's just that the situation is urgent now, and Bei Liangye doesn't have time to be angry with Ruan Wanwan. If anything happens to Ruan Wanwan, he will definitely not be able to forgive himself.

Bei Liangye stopped thinking. He immediately left the Prince's Mansion, got on his horse, and rushed towards the Xiao family without disturbing others.

And Ruan Wanwan experienced a lot of setbacks and finally came to the back door of Xiao Mansion.

She raised her head, carefully observed the Xiao Mansion, and kept praising, the Xiao family is indeed a noble family, even the back door can be built so magnificently, the front door of other houses may not be so majestic.

But now is not the time to sigh about this. Ruan Wanwan puts on the veil covering his face, not forgetting that the purpose of coming here is to find the mystery of Xiao Huxi's life experience.

Since Ruan Wanwan dared to come alone and break into the Xiao Mansion, he had naturally done his homework.

When she had doubts about Xiao Huxi, Ruan Wanwan asked the man in black to give him detailed information about Xiao Huxi.

From the terrain structure of the Xiao Mansion to the dogs raised by the concubines in the Xiao Mansion and the litter of several pups, they are all available, not to mention the distribution of the guards and the time when the guards change shifts, which you must be familiar with to infiltrate.

She even knew a secret passage leading directly to Mr. Xiao's study.

Ruan Wanwan skillfully ducked in through the hole on the side. She faced a rockery, which just blocked her figure. Under the rockery, there was an entrance covered by a pile of weeds, which was the entrance to the secret passage.

She casually moved the pile of weeds away with her hands, placed them aside, and then reached down. It was pitch dark in the secret passage, but Ruan Wanwan still walked forward firmly.

Soon, some faint light appeared in front of her, and Ruan Wanwan knew that this was a secret passage that was almost at its end, and that the end of the secret passage was Master Xiao's study.

Some voices came from the other end, which stopped Ruan Wanwan from moving forward. She became quiet and hid in the darkness, wanting to see what Mr. Xiao was plotting with others.

"What do you think should be done safely?"

"I don't have a better way now."

"Either drug my father directly, and then..."

Ruan Wanwan carefully distinguished the voice coming from the other end, and felt that it was extremely familiar. Father? Could it be the eldest prince?

How could the eldest prince and Mr. Xiao get together? Is there anything else that I don't understand clearly?

Ruan Wanwan was surprised. They actually wanted to drug the emperor? So she couldn't help but want to lean forward again to confirm her suspicion.

However, she was only focused on listening to the conversation between the two of them, and did not realize the dead branches under her feet.

And when she leaned forward, she happened to step on the dead branch, and the dead branch made a slight breaking sound.

Mr. Xiao and the eldest prince who were talking in the study immediately became alert, and their conversation came to an abrupt end.

Mr. Xiao and the eldest prince turned around and looked around, trying to find the place where the sound came from.

Ruan Wanwan saw all this clearly in the secret passage. She became nervous, but now she couldn't move. Otherwise, if she made a sound and was caught on the spot, she would get the best of her.

When she saw the eldest prince heading towards the secret passage, her heart was in her throat and she just prayed that she would not be discovered.

The eldest prince was getting closer and closer to her, and suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from behind and dragged her out.

Ruan Wanwan almost screamed out in surprise when she thought about how sudden the accident happened. As if with foresight, the owner of those hands held her waist with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.

Seeing only a few ducks, they returned to the entrance of the secret passage.

Ruan Wanwan had time to look back and see who had saved him, and it turned out that it was Bei Liangye who arrived in time.

She breathed a deep sigh of relief. She didn't expect that she could save the day in this way. She was really lucky.

But how did Beiliangye know that he was here?

"Don't get me wrong, I just came here to investigate something." Ruan Wanwan quickly explained.

Bei Liangye just looked her up and down to make sure she was not injured, snorted coldly, turned around and went to the Prince's Mansion.

Ruan Wanwan had no choice but to know that she was being reckless this time, so she had no choice but to follow him with small steps while explaining in a flattering manner.

"Don't be angry, I know I was wrong."

"Where did you go wrong?" After hearing this, Bei Liangye said coldly.

"I, I, I..." Ruan Wanwan choked for a moment.

Only then did Bei Liangye realize that she had not realized her mistake at all.

"Where do you put your own safety at risk?"

Ruan Wanwan saw that he had tried to comfort himself for a while, but it had no effect. Instead, it seemed to add fuel to the fire.
