Chapter 412: Doing the old business
Since Xi Yeming came back, Angelina would take time out every day to go out alone and instruct Xiana on everything.
"I won't be back today, Xiana, just do everything as usual." Before leaving, Angelina did not forget to instruct her maid.
Xiana bowed and responded, "Yes, please have a safe journey, Your Highness."
Seronia, who was sitting on the sofa repairing the strings of a guitar, naturally would not pay too much attention to Angelina's private affairs, but when she saw Fumina sneaking out of the side door, she became curious.
She put down the zither in her hand and followed Fumina step by step.
It was not until they reached the street that Selonia discovered Fumina lying behind a corner, looking at something.
Celonia stepped forward, patted her shoulder and asked, "What are you looking at, Fumina?"
The sudden slap almost frightened Fumina to death, but fortunately, Selonia's voice reassured her.
"I'm so scared, why are you following me, little Nia?"
Celonia asked in confusion: "Are you following the eldest princess? Why?"
"Oh, there's no reason. The eldest princess has been going out every day recently, and she hasn't told Lord Shengyi what she's doing. Anyone would be curious, right?"
-
Angelina suppressed her anger and asked, "So you two didn't follow me all the way?"
"Ah, this..."
Fumina and Seronia huddled together in a corner, looking weak, helpless and pitiful.
Xi Yeming cast a sharp gaze on Angelina, "So what on earth did you go to do? I am more interested in this matter."
"Well, that's it..."
Celonia continued to tell the story of what happened next.
-
After passing through the bustling crowd and the Longma Alley, Angelina stopped in front of a gorgeous small palace and was allowed to enter after talking to the guard for a few words.
"What kind of place is this? Why can't the eldest princess come in and out as she pleases?"
The two little ones hid at the edge of the wall not far away and furtively looked around the palace that seemed out of place compared to the entire city.
Celonia said based on her own experience: "I feel that this palace should be built in the capital. It looks like the residence of a noble person."
Fumina suddenly shuddered and thought, "Could it be that the emperor secretly came to Dongzhou to attack Lord Shengyi?"
"Eh?"
It was generally acknowledged that the emperor and Xi Yeming had a bad relationship. There had once been rumors that the emperor wanted to attack this "foreign" son, but these rumors soon died down and disappeared from the public eye.
"That's unlikely. After all, Lord Xi is the emperor's son. How could someone so easily..."
Halfway through her speech, Celonia thought of the king of the Kingdom of Zelicia, and then she fell silent.
Just as Fumina was about to lean her whole body out, she was pulled back by Celonia.
"What are you going to do?"
Fumina replied as a matter of course: "Let's go in and take a look. If the emperor is really here, we must alert His Majesty."
"Are you crazy? I heard that the emperor of the Gilget Empire is the modern-day gun god. If he really comes, there's no way he won't find you!"
"Don't worry, I've been to the palace and stolen things, but I didn't take any of the stuff there. The emperor didn't even notice me."
She took a quick glance and immediately found a suitable position to climb over the wall.
"Hehe, there's no defensive magic. Isn't this just a temptation for me to show off my skills?"
After saying that, while the guards' attention was focused on a gap elsewhere, Fumina quickly climbed over the wall and crawled in.
"Perfect!" She congratulated herself in a low voice.
"What's next?"
Fumina looked around in confusion and surprise, and saw Seronia standing there so naturally.
"How did you get in?!"
Celonia explained with a trusting look: "I followed you in. Aren't you a thief?"
Fumina felt a strong sense of suffocation. "No, I mean why did you come in?"
"I'm worried about you. What if the emperor finds out?"
"Then you should worry about what will happen if the emperor finds out about the two of us."
During the conversation, Fumina noticed footsteps approaching and pushed Selonia and herself behind the bushes beside the path.
"Huh huh huh~"
A green-haired woman holding a naginata passed by, humming a tune leisurely.
"Why does she look so familiar?"
Fumina seemed to have some impression of the girl in front of her, until she saw the naginata and then she remembered that she had met her once at Volcano Rovik.
She was the girl who asked the master for the spoils.
At that time, Fumina still called herself the Great Thief Kailoni. She and Xi Yeming were waiting in the volcano with the purpose of capturing her alive and taking back the sky lantern.
"Why is she here? Shouldn't she be in Red Light Town?"
Celonia, who was pinned down, whispered, "Who is she?"
"Actually, I'm not familiar with him either. We just had a little... grudge against each other before?"
"Ah? Have you ever made enemies with others?"
"Keep your voice down," Fumina covered Celonia's mouth with her hand, "You'll be discovered!"
"Ok?"
Wang Zhimo looked back, looked around but didn't see anything. He thought he had heard it wrong, so he turned around and left the path.
"Pfft!"
Both girls emerged from the bushes and spat out a few leaves they had accidentally swallowed.
"What should we do?" Selonia asked the master Fumina.
"Forehead……"
It would be difficult to act alone with a burden, so the best solution would be to send Seroniya away first and then find a chance to find out what's going on.
But before one problem was solved another one arose. Fumina heard footsteps again, mixed with the sound of baskets colliding with iron.
"Oh no, there might be someone mowing the lawn. Let's go."
Fumina grabbed Celonia's hand and hurried to another yard. As expected, as soon as they left, a group of gardeners came here carrying bamboo baskets.
One of the gardeners came to the bushes where the two girls had just hidden, and after noticing the scattered leaves on the ground, she started her work without thinking much.
"Wow, it's a gardener, that's great."
Celonia hid behind the wall and silently watched the work of these young gardeners. Once upon a time, she also wanted to be a gardener. Such an artistic work really fascinated a young girl like her.
"Shouldn't you be a musician?"
While Fumina was silently complaining, she estimated the layout of the entire palace. She calculated the best route and was determined to get a glimpse of the secret today!
"Come, let's go."
"Ah? Aren't you going back yet?"
"It has come to this, how can I give up!"
