Chapter 213 Discovered
After the imperial physician left, the room became quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of flipping pages. An Qingqian felt a little discouraged.
Is today in vain?
"No, since I'm here today, I must not return empty-handed." An Qingqian made up his mind secretly.
However, she waited for almost a cup of tea, but there was still no movement inside. Prince Dingyuan did not leave, and no one came to see him.
An Qingqian's handsome brows gradually twisted. King Dingyuan was not like Wu Tiancheng. He was extremely alert. It was not a wise choice to drug King Dingyuan.
But, apart from this method, what else can I do to give her the chance to enter the room?
Just as An Qingqian was thinking hard, the sound of flipping pages finally stopped.
Gradually, the sound of footsteps was heard. An Qingqian knew that King Dingyuan was also a man of great martial arts skills, so she held her breath, fearing that King Dingyuan would notice that there was someone hiding here.
Fortunately, Prince Dingyuan did not notice anything. He walked out of the room and went straight to the gate of the courtyard.
"Your Highness." The patrolman saw Prince Dingyuan and saluted respectfully.
"Well, watch this side carefully. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately." King Dingyuan frowned and ordered.
"Yes, I understand."
After Prince Dingyuan finished speaking, he walked out of the yard.
An Qingqian didn't know when King Dingyuan would come back, so she took the opportunity to sneak into the room.
The lights in the room were not turned off, so it was estimated that Prince Dingyuan would not be away for long.
But this also happens to be convenient for An Qingqian.
She first searched through the table in the middle, and the contents of the memorials were almost all news sent by his subordinates.
An Qingqian took a quick glance and determined that the information was of no value to her, so she quickly gave up.
There is a large bookshelf behind the desk, most of which are filled with military books.
An Qingqian did not rashly flip through the books one by one, but stood in front and observed carefully.
Finally, she discovered that the placement of the book on the far right was a little strange. It was not as neat as the other books. It looked a little messy, as if it had just been put there and there was no time to straighten it out.
An Qingqian had a hunch that there must be something wrong with this book, so he went straight forward and took it down.
When I opened it, I found there was indeed a problem. There was a letter inside, but it was not signed.
The content inside was actually written by King Cheng to King Dingyuan.
An Qingqian looked at the contents carefully. The more he read, the more horrified he became. He quickly finished reading the letter.
An Qingqian quickly packed the letter, put it into the book, and put it back on the bookshelf, returning it to its original position.
She narrowed her eyes and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong with her fingers.
When he lifted it up, he saw something black on it. An Qingqian wiped it with his sleeve, but it didn't clean it.
She suddenly looked at the book and saw that it was covered with a layer of fine powder.
Just because the book was originally black, An Qingqian was careless and didn't notice that there was something on it.
An Qingqian pursed her lips, realizing that King Dingyuan must have tampered with it to prevent anyone from opening it and discovering what was inside.
Thinking of this, An Qingqian quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped off the fingerprints left on it.
He then walked to the door and prepared to leave, but heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Has anyone entered the yard?" Prince Dingyuan lowered his voice and asked the guard in front of the gate.
"In reply to your Highness, I have been watching closely without blinking. Not even a fly has come in, let alone anyone."
The guard promised solemnly.
"Hmph, come here, surround the courtyard immediately, there's a thief in the courtyard." Upon hearing this, King Dingyuan sneered and did not comment.
He just went to see Wu Tiancheng and found something strange there.
When Prince Dingyuan heard the guards say that Wu Tiancheng had rested, he was a little skeptical. He knew very well what kind of person his son was.
He smelled the bitter and unpleasant smell of medicine as soon as he entered the yard. How could Wu Tiancheng not lose his temper after taking this medicine and rest so soon?
So he went in and found Wu Tiancheng curled up in the corner of the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Prince Dingyuan stepped forward and patted Wu Tiancheng on the shoulder, and he quickly woke up.
When Wu Tiancheng opened his eyes and saw his father, he suddenly became excited.
"Father, there is a ghost, there is a ghost here!" Wu Tiancheng grabbed King Dingyuan's sleeve tightly, his tone was terrified and panicked.
King Dingyuan was very puzzled until the two guards who were taking care of Wu Tiancheng told him what had just happened.
King Dingyuan frowned at first, then he realized something and whispered, "Not good."
He asked the guards to protect Wu Tiancheng well, and he quickly returned to his own yard.
Prince Dingyuan knew that although his son was naughty, he would not do such a thing just to trick his guards.
Especially when the candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth, he would at most scream, but he would never do so at the cost of hurting himself.
There can't be any ghosts in this world, so there must be someone else in the brothel who did this on purpose.
Although the guards were puzzled, they did not dare to disobey King Dingyuan's order and quickly led their men to surround the entire courtyard.
Prince Dingyuan personally led his people to the front of his room.
He signaled his men to push open the door, and there was nothing unusual inside.
Prince Dingyuan looked carefully at the room. It seemed that nothing had changed and there was no sign that anyone had entered.
"You go down first and search the courtyard carefully." King Dingyuan's eyes fell on the book on the far right side of the bookshelf, and he casually sent away the guards who followed in.
"Yes." The guard closed the door and left.
Prince Dingyuan walked quickly to the front of the book.
He took a candlestick, moved close to the book, and looked closely, and indeed found that the layer of something he had originally painted on it was gone.
Prince Dingyuan quickly took a handkerchief from the side and took the book down.
He specially applied poison on it to prevent anyone from discovering the secret of the book.
When he opened the book and saw the letter was still inside, Prince Dingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the thief did not steal the letter.
If this letter fell into the hands of someone else, it would be a disaster for him.
However, although the letter was there, the things painted on it were gone. The thief had obviously touched the book and probably read the contents of the letter as well.
Prince Dingyuan's face darkened.
He put the book back where it was and walked out of the room.
"Come here, guard the abode tightly. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If anyone is found leaving without permission, they will be beaten to death immediately. No need to report it! Even if you have to dig three feet deep in the ground, you must find this little thief for me!"
