Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

However, Yan Ci did not feel that the snake had any special attacking behavior.

"Could it be that he attacked her because the maid was the only one present at the time?"

“But later when we came, the snakes didn’t attack us.”

"That's me hitting it away with a branch."

Xie Chengyin shook his head, "Then let's take a look first."

Neither of them could convince the other, so they could only investigate the scene further, but found no other abnormal signs.

"Come on, let's go see the Crown Princess."

Yan Ci wanted to check on Jiang Yun's situation. Her main mission in entering the palace to attend the prince's wedding was to change Jiang Yun's ending.

But her conditions were limited and she couldn't do enough, so she was afraid that she would miss some details due to negligence.

The two men carefully avoided the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, and finally arrived outside the room where the Crown Princess was resting.

The two of them lay on the wall, looking at the door that was guarded tightly by the guards, and were at a loss for what to do.

Xie Chengyin looked at Yan Ci, raised two fingers and made a walking gesture, silently asking Yan Ci: Are you going to walk in so arrogance?

Yan Ci shook his head decisively.

The two of them, one a foreign man and the other not very close to the Crown Princess, were afraid that they would be arrested as someone with ulterior motives before they could even get close to the Crown Princess.

If it's not feasible to do it openly, then just sneak in quietly.

Obviously, that is even more impossible.

The prince's personal guards at the door are not vegetarians. These two living people are not flies, how can they not see them?

The two of them could only lie on the wall and watch helplessly.

At this time, a palace maid walked in from outside. The guard knew her and let her in after just a glance.

Yan Ci's eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

Yan Ci pointed at the palace maid and then at herself. Xie Chengyin understood what she meant. She wanted to disguise herself as a palace maid and sneak in.

It's doable.

But this dress still needs to be made from local materials.

The two men looked at the palace maid who walked into the courtyard. At this time, she had already reached the corner. When she turned around, Yan Ci and Xie Chengyin saw half of her face.

"Isn't this the maid from before?"

Xie Chengyin also recognized her, "It's her, I didn't expect she was from Chonghua Palace."

"Then wouldn't it be bad for us to do that to her?"

Xie Chengyin sneered, "What's wrong with that? We just helped her, and now is the time for her to repay us. I think it's a good idea."

This was the first time Yan Ci had seen someone repaying a favor.

The two men were ready to take action after the palace maid came out, but after waiting for a long time, she never came out again.

"Will she never come out?" Yan Ci asked Xie Chengyin uncertainly.

Xie Chengyin couldn't make up his mind either. He stared at the direction of the yard.

Just then, the palace maid came out.

Compared to when she first entered, the palace maid bowed her head even lower. The two men were lying on the wall and could hardly see her face.

In addition, Yan Ci also discovered differences in body shape.

"She seems taller than when she first came in. You can see that she walks more lightly."

Xie Chengyin saw the problem at a glance. Compared to Yan Ci's uncertainty, he had already determined the replacement from the gait of the people going in and out.

"These are two completely different people, and the one who came out is a martial artist."

The palace maid in Chonghua Palace was suddenly replaced, and no one knew who the replacement was, but the occurrence of this situation was obviously unusual.

After watching the man come out of the small courtyard, he went straight out of Chonghua Palace.

"You stay here and watch. I'll follow and take a look."

Xie Chengyin sensed something was wrong, but the man’s identity was uncertain, and Yan Ci didn’t know martial arts, so it would be more dangerous to follow him. It would be better for him to stay and watch the situation in Chonghua Palace.

Yan Ci also knew that he was becoming more of a burden now, so he didn't say much and just stayed where he was obediently.

Xie Chengyin jumped off the wall and followed.

Not long after, Xie Chengyin came back, bringing with her a set of palace maid's clothes.

Although he was mentally prepared, Yan Ci was still a little surprised, "You did steal someone's clothes after all."

"She also stole someone else's things. She was just a mantis stalking a cicada while the oriole was waiting behind. Change your clothes and go in to check the situation. I'll meet you outside."

Yan Ci took the clothes with one hand and asked Xie Chengyin: "How do you know that we are not mantises?"

"Then if there is another yellow bird behind us, we, as big as the praying mantis, will choke him to death."

Yan Ci laughed and put on the palace maid's clothes. He then tied his loose hair into a bun, imitating the palace maid. He looked 70% similar to the palace maid.

Xie Chengyin took out a small dagger from his bosom and threw it to Yan Ci, "Take it, just in case. If you notice anything unusual, make some noise and I will come to pick you up immediately."

Yan Ci took the exquisite dagger, stuffed it into his somewhat baggy sleeve, climbed down from the top of the wall, and walked towards the main gate of Chonghua Palace.

Yan Ci lowered his head and rushed in without saying a word.

The two guards looked at Yan Ci walking with his head down and did not stop him immediately. After Yan Ci walked past, they seemed to have thought of something and asked loudly, "Hey, didn't you just go out?"

Yan Ci stopped walking but did not turn around. He said directly: "The Crown Princess asked me to get something."

Upon hearing that he was ordered by the Crown Princess to go out, the guard did not ask any more questions. He just looked at Yan Ci suspiciously twice and then ignored him.

Yan Ci breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his crossed hands, put the dagger that was already grasping the hilt back into his sleeve, and quickened his pace towards the main hall of Chonghua Palace.

As Yan Ci tiptoed into the open door of the main hall, he heard Jiang Yun's voice coming from inside.

"Cai Lan, are we going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Yan Ci thought the maid he was pretending to be was called Cai Lan. Just as he was about to respond, he heard another voice saying, "Yes, Crown Princess, the time has come. We should leave."

Yan Ci leaned over to look, and saw the palace maid named Cailan helping Jiang Yun, who was sitting in the main seat in a bright red wedding dress, and the two of them walked slowly towards the door.

Yan Ci quickly lowered his head and stood by the door, trying hard to reduce his presence.

Jiang Yun did not notice Yan Ci's abruptness. Cai Lan was supporting her with one hand and she was holding a round fan in the other hand, covering most of her face.

As Jiang Yun stepped out of the door, the palace maids in the hall followed closely behind her and lined up in an orderly manner.

In addition to Cailan who was supporting Jiang Yun, behind Jiang Yun were three pairs of palace maids and four prince's guards. Then behind them were the palace maids carrying jewelry and gifts. It was a long line of people.

It's enough to have the pomp and circumstance.

While no one was paying attention, Yan Ci took a plate of jewelry from the back and followed the team. He left Chonghua Palace with the team and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The prince did not leave Chonghua Palace with Jiang Yun. He was waiting at the gate of Taihe Hall, waiting for Jiang Yun to arrive.
