169 Stealing from the father of the Queen

” A place with high altitude?” Qui Ai was confused but there was something else that Liu Hui Ying caught in her eyes, it was wariness. A sort of fear that something was slipping past her grasp and she couldn’t do anything about it, only confirmed Liu Hui Ying’s suspicions, this woman had some sort of connections to places that had high altitudes.

“That’s right,” but she could not show her true emotions to Qui Ai if she was to find out that she was planning to get away from this place surely she would stop her and she could not let Qui Ai stop her, she needed to get out of this place and that too as quickly as possible because just as Jia Li pointed out Ji Yu was soon going to go cray cray and she did not want to witness it.

Better leave this to the woman who jumped into this fire pit.

” I just want to enjoy the moon while drinking alcohol and nothing more,” Liu Hui Ying was indeed telling the truth, she did not have any other plan than drinking a little and investigating about this woman some more, given that Qui Ai and nanny Gong were not going to tell her anything.

” Well, if you are going to insist on this your majesty then, there is indeed a spot where you can go but I believe that you won’t be allowed,” Qui Ai said after much pondering as she looked at the floor while cleaning the dishes of the table that were scattered all over, one by one she placed them on the tray and then turned to look at Liu Hui Ying with a subtle frown on her face as she said, ” That spot is only reserved for men and no one else, especially at night ...no woman is allowed to be there lest she is taken by his majesty.”

“If that’s the case then there is no trouble at all,” Liu Hui Ying happily exclaimed she did not think that her disguise will become this handy for her but now that she was seeing its use, she couldn’t help but pat herself on the back for being so smart. ” I will be able to go and enjoy a nice alone time there if I were to become a man right?”

“You are treading on a rather dangerous spot, your majesty,” Qui Ai said in a soft voice, she understood the reason why her missy wanted to get out of this place and do what she wanted, she has been like this ever since she woke up after getting poisoned not liking the fact that she was trapped in the palace all the time but she was, in the end, a woman, for her to leave the palace of the Queen every time she wanted to go out, if someone was to find out then she would be in a lot of trouble.

” I know but it’s just going out for a short while,” Liu Hui Ying assured Qui Ai as she started to plan how she was going to sneak out of the palace tonight.

” You said the same thing in your letter and look what you did, you were gone for the entire morning.”

.....

” That’s because I was with the Emperor and now that I am alone, I don’t need to spend extra time doing something wasteful like I did in the afternoon.”

” Your majesty, please treat his majesty with kindness.”

” Is he someone who deserves my kindness ?”

.....

” Achoo!” Zhai Tianyu who was skulking outside the house of minister Liu sneezed as he covered his nose and then sniffed violently. “Am I coming down with flu?” He has never sneezed this much in his entire life but now he was constantly sneezing during the day as well as at the night.

But he quickly three that thought in the back of his head and then turned to look at Zhai Heng who was dressed in all black with only his eyes showing, he nodded at his brother who nodded back before the two of them jumped down from the tree they were hiding in and then using the spiritual Qi, snuck inside the house of Minister Liu.

Zhai Heng took a smoke bomb that had sleeping drugs inside it and then lit it with a flicker of the lamp that was glowing next to the pillar where they were hiding and then threw it over to where the guards were standing, his precise aim was quick.

No one was able to detect anything amiss as Zhai Tianyu and Zhai Heng hid in the dark corner again along with their special guards.

The guard who was standing in front of the warehouse yawned and covered his mouth with the back of his hand before he turned to look at the man who was standing next to him and said, ” I don’t know why but I am kind of feeling sleepy tonight.”

” Don’t go around messing,” the older guard who was standing next to him seemed to be affected by the burning sleeping drugs as well but he still managed to somehow stand straight as he glared at the man who was yawning. ” If the lord finds out that you were sleeping while on the duty, he will definitely punish you.” As he spoke, he too started to yawn causing the other man to snicker.

The two men chattered for a long time before the effects of the sleeping drug started to work and they slumped on the floor one by one as they started snoring.

Once the two men were down, Zhai Heng and Zhai Tianyu snuck out of the corner and then rushed towards the warehouse. Zhai Tianyu used his sword along with spiritual Qi as he slashed the big lock that was hanging out of the warehouse and the two pieces were caught by Zhai Heng who was standing next to Zhai Tianyu.

The two of them worked together and then opened the warehouse for their guards to take whatever they could from the warehouse. And soon the warehouse that was filled with jewels and whatnot was reduced to an empty storehouse.
