Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 288: Treasure Hunt at Hanguang Palace

Hong Siyang waved his hand, stepped forward and left the room.

Then his figure disappeared in the yard.

at the same time.

Fan Xian has arrived at the 'Hanguang Palace'.

It is already late at night, and although there are a lot of candles flickering throughout the harem, it is exceptionally quiet.

This time, when Fan Xian sneaked into the Hanguang Palace at night again, he was much more cautious than last time.

Before going out every time, he would observe the surroundings for a long time, and only after making sure that there was no one else around would he dare to walk out of the shadows.

I'm afraid that something like last time will happen again.

A month ago, Fan Xian and Wu Zhu sneaked into the palace at night at this time.

However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of Hanguang Palace, he was mistaken for a murderer and thrown into death row, and then the following events happened one after another.

When Fan Xian thought back on it now, he realized how horrible the matter was.

Perhaps before he entered the palace, Li Chengze had already planned for him and set a trap specifically, waiting for him to fall into it.

Otherwise, why did the palace guards already know about his arrival at Hanguang Palace?
Perhaps, he had been plotted against by others when he first entered Kyoto City.

Before, Fan Xian didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Looking back now, there were conspiracies and intrigues everywhere.

Thinking of this, Fan Xian couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

What a great game of chess!

However, even a clay man still has some nature. Since others are unkind, don't blame them for being unrighteous!
Sooner or later, the other party will have to pay back for all the suffering he had endured in the past.

Afterwards, Fan Xian didn't think any more and walked towards the hall with light steps.

Perhaps it was because nothing else had happened in the palace recently, which led to a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the entire "Hanguang Palace".

Not only the palace maids who were on night watch fell asleep on the table.

Even the young eunuchs who were in charge of looking after the incense burners felt a little drowsy.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xian immediately took out a thin bamboo tube from his sleeve, slowly put it to his mouth, and blew gently forward.

A very faint fragrance drifted by, surrounding the entire air.

Immediately afterwards, both the eunuchs and palace maids fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that the effect of the smoke had begun to take effect, Fan Xian put away the bamboo tube and rolled forward.

At this time, in the dim light, Fan Xian continued to roll forward along the relatively dark corner.

Soon, he arrived in front of an extremely luxurious large bed.

At this moment, a white-haired old woman was lying on the big bed, covered with a silk quilt, snoring from time to time.

Fan Xian looked at the old woman on the bed, frowned slightly, and thought:

"This should be the Queen Mother."

"It's really noble!"

People originally thought that the emperor had the highest power in the entire Qing Kingdom.

In fact, the queen mother lying on the bed is the person with the most power.

Fan Xian did not look at the Queen Mother for long, but took a few deep breaths.

He has finally managed to get here, so we must not wake him up.

After all, Emperor Qing had already given instructions when he came over just now.

If the Queen Mother were really woken up, it would be a big trouble.

calm down!

He had to calm down now.

Uncle Wuzhu once said that whenever you encounter something, you must stay calm.

After Fan Xian pondered for a moment, he did not notice any lurking masters appearing around.

It seems that he still thinks too much.

Fan Xian had always thought that in a palace like this, there must be masters hiding in the shadows like in Gu Long's novels, protecting the master's safety at all times.

Once in danger, they will come out immediately to protect their master.

Fan Xian waited for a while and did not see anyone else appear, so he immediately looked around.

After a while.

Fan Xian seemed to have thought of something, and he immediately squatted on the ground and rolled directly under the big bed. Soon, he came directly under the Queen Mother's big bed.

After Fan Xian got under the bed, he closed his eyes and began to stroke the wooden board under the bed with his palm.

While groping on the bed.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and a hint of joy flashed across his face.

Found it!
It's really in here.

Originally, Fan Xian was just searching randomly without much hope.

When he was in Danzhou before, he liked to hide the nameless martial arts secret in the secret compartment under the bed.

After all, I have read many novels before, and many of the characters in them like to hide their treasures in secret compartments under the bed.

He also wanted to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky that I actually found it.

It turns out that the Queen Mother of Qing also liked to install a secret compartment under the bed.

Human imagination is always so simple and lacks innovation.

Fan Xian reached out to his boots, pulled out the dagger from inside, placed it in the secret compartment on the bed, and applied light force.

A 'click' sound.

The secret compartment was opened with just a dagger and a little force.

Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that it would take some time to open the secret compartment.

As a result, it was too easy.

Fan Xian immediately put the dagger back into his boots.

Then he took out the secret compartment.

Since he was under the Empress Dowager's bed at the moment, he didn't dare to make any loud noise for fear of waking her up.

So, he didn't dare to reach out to search and just looked inside.

Because he had taken a lot of medicines before, his eyesight at night was very strong. Even without lighting a candle, he could see clearly what was inside.

There were no jewelry or banknotes in the secret compartment.

There was only a piece of white cloth and a letter.

There is also a key.

To be precise, it is a strange key.

When Fan Xian saw the key, his face changed slightly and he revealed a very strange expression.

Because this key is very different from the keys in this world!

This is a modern key.

So, when Fan Xian saw the key, he felt very strange.

Why, in an ancient world, do we have the key to modernity?

From this, it can be seen that the origin of this key must be related to his mother.

After pondering for a moment, Fan Xian did not take out the white cloth and the letter, but directly took out the key.

If time was available, he would really like to read the letter.

After Fan Xian put the key away, he closed the secret compartment again and then rolled out.

He stood in the shadows and looked around again. Not seeing any movement, he jumped outside.

After a while.

After Fan Xian left the Hanguang Palace, he patted his chest and said:
"It's really dangerous."

"But it's okay as long as we get the things."

Fan Xian no longer stayed where he was. He turned over, jumped onto the roof, and leaped forward.

Behind Fan Xian, a figure walked out slowly.

"Ah!"

"Still want to leave?"

"Let's stay here!"
