Chapter 1065 Seeing the painting and the poem is like swallowing a fly
Leng Rongyue was excited at the thought of making things difficult for Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, and waved excitedly at Xiao Jingyu, "Destination: Prince Yi's Mansion, let's go!"
"As ordered!"
Xiao Jingyu smiled and responded, then picked up Leng Rongyue and they leaped across rooftops, heading straight for the Prince Yi's residence.
Prince Yi's residence is also located in the north of the city, but it is closer to the palace than Jiang Ciche's residence as the second-in-command.
Xiao Jingyu used his superb lightness skill and soon arrived at the outside of the courtyard wall of Prince Yi's mansion.
This time, Xiao Jingyu didn't even need thermal imaging glasses. He simply climbed over the courtyard wall and sprayed a sleeping potion into the wall every now and then.
The sleeping potion drifted on the wind towards Prince Yi's mansion...
As the drug took effect, a series of "thump... thump..." sounds came from inside the wall.
Xiao Jingyu, carrying Leng Rongyue, leaped over the courtyard wall. Before they had taken more than a few steps, they saw several night patrol soldiers lying dead on the passageway not far away.
Xiao Jingyu stepped forward, grabbed one of the guards by the hand, and threw them behind a bush.
Then, they dragged the remaining two over together and threw the patrolling guards aside.
Then, Xiao Jingyu led Leng Rongyue towards the main courtyard of the Prince Yi's mansion!
Zhang Miaoying was first divorced and then died. Xiao Jingyi ordered the main courtyard to be locked, and it lost its former liveliness and its former noble appearance.
However, this is exactly what Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu need to do.
The main room was empty. Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu went in together and, as usual, divided the tasks: Leng Rongyue... collected, and Xiao Jingyu... searched!
Easy!
After Leng Rongyue emptied the room, she helped Xiao Jingyu search it.
In the end, the two actually found a hidden compartment.
The hidden compartment opened, revealing only a box and a scroll.
Xiao Jingyu opened the box and saw that there were only a dozen or so perfectly round pearls and two rough rubies inside.
There was also a small stack of silver notes, worth approximately tens of thousands of taels.
Leng Rongyue has already unrolled the scroll...
The moment Leng Rongyue saw the painting, her mouth dropped open, her eyes widened, and she was completely dumbfounded!
Xiao Jingyu noticed and turned his head to ask, "Yue'er, what's wrong?"
What is depicted in the painting?
Leng Rongyue didn't speak, her big eyes blinking as she looked at Xiao Jingyu. At the same time, she turned the painting in her hand towards Xiao Jingyu, letting him see it for himself.
Xiao Jingyu looked at the painting...
It turns out this is a portrait painting, and the person in the painting is the one looking at the painting... which is... Xiao Jingyu!
The figures in the painting are exquisitely beautiful, like gods and immortals!
There was even a poem inscribed on the painting:
A dazzling divine figure,
Our connection was shallow, leaving only affection.
A swift horse summons a beautiful woman.
Opening a book evokes images of painting.
You brushed past me without even glancing at me.
My heart is already open.
Brocade robe sleeves,
Tears welled up in my eyes, hard to wipe away.
Xiao Jingyu glanced at it once, his brows furrowed tightly, he grabbed the painting and tore it to shreds in a few swift movements, his expression as if he had just swallowed a fly!
"Moon, is there any fire?"
Xiao Jingyu was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. He looked at Leng Rongyue, wanting something that could be set on fire so that he could burn this disgusting painting immediately!
"Uh...there's...there's fire!"
Leng Rongyue took out a lighter and lit it.
Xiao Jingyu immediately held the torn painting in his hand to the flame...
The fire quickly ignited, and the painting soon turned to ashes.
Xiao Jingyu watched as the last small flame burned out, then stomped on the ashes a few more times.
Seeing Xiao Jingyu's series of actions, Leng Rongyue suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I never imagined that the former Princess Consort Zhang Miaoying would harbor such ulterior motives towards Your Highness Prince Yu!"
No wonder, that day in front of the Duke's mansion, I felt that when Princess Yi, Zhang Miaoying, looked at Your Highness Yu, the look in her eyes... seemed to convey a sense of reluctance that every glance would be one less, and a sorrowful feeling of unrequited love!
turn out to be……"
"Moon, please stop talking, it's disgusting!"
Seeing Xiao Jingyu's nauseous expression, Leng Rongyue stopped teasing him.
"Alright, there shouldn't be anything left here!"
Let's check her private treasury first; the dowry of this former Princess Yi should still be there!
She is the eldest daughter of the former Vice Minister Zhang Jinyan, and she married the Prince Yi, the emperor's nephew. Her dowry should be very generous!
"Then let her use her dowry to make a small contribution to the treasury of our Jingyue Kingdom!"
Xiao Jingyu didn't say anything, but simply reached out and took Leng Rongyue's hand, striding out of the room that once belonged to Zhang Miaoying!
There is a row of houses behind the back wall of the main courtyard, and all the doors are locked with large padlocks.
Xiao Jingyu led Leng Rongyue directly here.
Picking the lock is not difficult.
As the lock opened, Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu pushed open the door and went inside.
Inside the room were dozens of large red trunks, and the red silk ribbons on some of the trunks were still intact.
There are also several large cabinets against the wall;
On the large square table in the corner, there were many boxes and caskets of various sizes.
Leng Rongyue said she didn't have time to look at it closely, and would just keep it for now!
In the next room there were only about twenty large rectangular boxes. Leng Rongyue opened one and took a look; they were all filled with silk and brocade.
Without saying a word, I accepted it!
