”This involves the survival of the nation By the authority of the Overwatch Council, I ask you to serve your country” Fan Xian said calh his headcover
That gave the locksn envoys in the capital, Suo Jian believed he had guessed so what he was about to do
”You must be quick and precise” Fan Xian took out the key ”I want an exact replica”
The locksmith took the key and examined it closely ”There are no locks in the world that this key would open”
”I don’t care I only want you to make a copy of it Can you do it or not?”
”It will be very difficult This key is extremely couarantee that it will open the corresponding lock”
”Very good Begin” Fan Xian was happy at the reply, but his voice was still calm
The locksan to nervously replicate the key The sound ofcould occasionally be heard in the room Fan Xian was nervous too as he looked at the door; he didn’t kno long Wu Zhu could keep Eunuch Hong occupied Eunuch Hong’s living quarters were too close to Hanguang Hall If Eunuch Hong returned, it would be difficult for Fan Xian to put back the duplicate key
Finally, sweating, Suo Jiang finished Co the two keys, Fan Xian discovered the two to be completely identical, replicated down to the last bit of rust Finally relaxed, he s?”
Because his face was covered by black cloth, his smile looked odd
”I… a profusely He didn’t knohat fate awaited him now that he had finished this top-secret job
”So, he's a thief,” Fan Xian thought Squinting at the tools and key pattern on the table, he frowned He then walked over and crushed the pattern to bits with a powerful burst of zhenqi
Even the tools he had left for wang Qinian were destroyed Suo Jiang was sent off to the southern regions in order to keep away from potential trouble Only then did Fan Xian put his o back to the palace
Entering Hanguang Hall again, the sleep-inducing fragrance had begun to disperse The night breeze was still blowing; the palace resonated with a peaceful athost He put back the replicate key, and resealed the floor board with the glue he brought Finally, he silently slipped out of the palace
It had been some time since the last drum sounded Fan Xian kneas time for him to leave At that ht his attention That courtyard was Guangxin Palace, where the eldest princess resided
Fan Xian’s plan and execution of it had been perfect today If he didn’t want unnecessary cos to develop However, for so obtained the key—he did the unexpected
Fan Xian believed that, under the cover of darkness, he could walk freely, even in the sole co skills he learned froreat difficulty, he approached Guangxin Palace, even brushi+ng shoulders with a yawning palace girl
The palace was still lit, and there were people inside Guangxin Palace was different from other palaces in the complex It was surrounded by a wall of its own
As they say, those who cross rivers aren’t afraid of a dirty moat But Fan Xian knew many master martial artists had been killed because of such assumptions So, he carefully took a detour to the back and climbed up a thick pillar
With his pal to the smooth pillar, Fan Xian felt so hi the pillar proved to be difficult, but heonto the roof, Fan Xian dared not lift up any roof tiles Instead, he started looking for transparent glass tiles
Norlass tiles on the roof of a palace, but it possibly because of Fan Xian’s great luck, Eldest Princess happened to enjoy having sunlight shi+ne froed to find one such tile He knelt down,sure his every movement was steady and silent
The roolass tile was dimly lit, but Fan Xian was able to see and hear clearly thanks to his aht His luck was indeed great
Eldest Princess Li Yunrui sat reclining with a lazy look on her face, looking exceptionally charown Under the thin fabric, the outline of her body could be seen There was a hint of youth in its maturity If any man were to see this, he would probably bon to worshi+p her feet
As His Majesty’s younger sister, she had no need to use sex appeal to lure people Besides, the one sitting in front of her was around seventy years old He was the greatest scholar in the world He was not one ould be tes
Zhuang Mohan coughed twice, ”My business here is finished I hope you do not mind, Princess
Eldest Princess played around with her fake scroll, which was e s, I want you to stoer has the dignity to stay in the capital Can you do that?”
