Chapter 164: Qin Rufeng of Yuelai Theater
What kind of being is it? Yu Gongyu must be very anxious when he can't find it? But why didn't he ask her after recognizing her as the one who saved him that night?
Did he trust her to keep it safe for him, or did he forget where he had left it?
Never mind, never mind, Shen Yiran just felt a headache. She gently rubbed her temples and looked out the window. It was already dusk, and the afterglow sprinkled on the earth, as if covering the world with a layer of golden gauze.
Shen Yiran looked at the scenery and his thoughts started to work again. It seemed that he would have to work harder to find out the truth about the child swapping in Yinling Temple.
She decided to send someone to Bazi Village to secretly investigate and learn about the living conditions of Zhang Damei's grandson in Bazi Village. If she could take his hair and use it as a parent-child agreement with Prime Minister Ren, the truth would soon come to light.
But this matter must be handled with extreme caution, and no word of it can leak out. Once discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it will not only bring great danger to himself and Ren Jingzhi, but may also destroy the entire plan.
Shen Yiran took a deep breath. It was impossible for her to accomplish the task alone. Banxia was a good helper, but she had just recovered from her injury and she didn't want to involve Banxia.
Anyone who knows about this could be silenced at any moment. Shen Yiran thought for a while and decided to take the token given by Yu Gongyu to the Yuelai Theater to meet Qin Rufeng and see how the situation goes before making the next plan.
Shen Yiran looked at the dress she was wearing. It was not only inconvenient to wear at night, but also very eye-catching. But there were no night clothes in ancient times.
Suddenly she thought of something and flashed into the space. As soon as she entered the space, Shen Yiran saw a set of night clothes on the desk. He picked it up and tried it on. It was quite suitable.
Just as she was overjoyed, a soft, sweet voice came, "My lady, come and praise Ling'er."
Shen Yiran looked over and saw Ling'er lying lazily on the bed, with soft light shining on her. Her round little body was like a furry little ball, exuding a lovely atmosphere under the light.
Her little mouth was slightly raised, as if waiting for Shen Yiran's praise. She looked so soft, cute and sweet to the extreme.
It leaned slightly to one side, with one of its paws resting gently on its belly, looking cozy and comfortable. Its adorable appearance seemed to melt people's hearts.
Shen Yiran looked at Ling'er's lovely appearance, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She walked to the bedside, gently stretched out her hand, and stroked Ling'er's soft hair.
"Ling'er, you are so cute. And thank you for the nightgown you prepared for me." Shen Yiran praised with a smile.
When Ling'er heard the praise, her eyes lit up instantly, and she raised her head proudly. She flapped her wings, flew to Shen Yiran's shoulder, and rubbed her cheek with her head.
Shen Yiran laughed softly at Ling'er's cute behavior. She gently stroked Ling'er's little head, her eyes full of doting. "Ling'er, you are such a clever little girl."
Ling'er squinted her eyes comfortably and let out a contented purr.
However, Shen Yiran remembered that he still had things to do, so he gently patted Ling'er's wings. "Ling'er, the young master has things to do now. I will play with you when I have time."
Ling'er seemed to understand what she said. Although she was a little reluctant, she still flew back to the bed obediently and looked at Shen Yiran with her big eyes blinking.
Shen Yiran looked at Ling'er again, then concentrated his mind, and with a thought, he withdrew from the space.
Back in the room, she quickly changed into her nightgown. The black fabric fit her body tightly, as if blending into the night. She tied her hair up, her eyes revealing determination and courage.
Shen Yiran's eyes fell on the dress she had just changed, and her eyes moved slightly, as if she suddenly thought of something. After a moment's hesitation, she reached out and threw the clothes she had just changed into the space.
Shen Yiran then tiptoed to the wall of the mansion. Relying on the agility she had acquired from training in the special forces, she easily found a foothold, pushed hard with her feet, climbed up the wall with both hands, then flipped over and jumped out of the mansion.
At the moment she climbed over the wall, she felt both nervous and excited. She was nervous because she didn't know what unknown situations she would encounter, but her excitement came from her deep desire for challenges. After all, as a soldier in the special forces, she was never afraid of challenges.
Only then did she realize that she had never been to Yuelai Theater. Which way should she go?
Shen Yiran observed the surrounding environment keenly. The streets were silent at night, with only the occasional breeze blowing and stirring the leaves.
Suddenly, she remembered that Yun'er had been clamoring to go to the Yuelai Theater. She was busy at the time and didn't have time, but she casually asked where it was. It just so happened that she could use it now.
Shen Yiran followed Yun'er's description and walked quickly. The moonlight sprinkled on the stone road, creating a layer of silver light. Her steps were light and fast, like a cheetah moving through the night.
As Shen Yiran gradually approached the Yuelai Theater, he saw swaying lights and shadowy figures in front of him, adding a sense of liveliness and fireworks to the night.
There are still some small vendors busy on the streets, and their stalls are filled with various items, including fragrant snacks and exquisite handicrafts.
When Shen Yiran slowly passed by a stall selling masks, she stopped involuntarily, and her eyes were instantly attracted by a mask with a fox pattern.
At this moment, like lightning across the night sky, a scene of the heroine in the novel walking around the street wearing a mask suddenly flashed through her mind. The mysterious yet comfortable look of the heroine in that scene deeply touched her.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this mask?" Shen Yiran asked softly.
"Sir, just give me five cents," the shopkeeper responded enthusiastically.
Shen Yiran pretended to put his hand into his sleeve, then secretly used his mind to summon a tael of silver from the space and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying casually: "No need for change." Then he couldn't wait to put the mask on his face.
Then, Shen Yiran lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on the nightgown she was wearing. She thought for a moment and thought it would be more appropriate to change into women's clothes.
After all, if I enter like this in my night clothes, it will definitely be too conspicuous. I may instantly become the focus of everyone's attention, which will not be conducive to my actions.
Thinking of this, Shen Yiran found a dark place nearby and slipped into the space. Shen Yiran changed into women's clothes, put on a fox mask and came to the Yuelai Theater again.
She looked up and saw that the outer wall of the theater was tall and majestic, the vermilion door was closed, and two big red lanterns were hung beside the door, swaying gently in the breeze and casting a soft light.
Through the crack in the door, you can see the faint light and noise coming from inside. Shen Yiran stood in front of the theater and looked up. The eaves of the theater were high and carved with exquisite patterns. It looked particularly solemn and mysterious in the night.
She gently pushed open the door, and a lively atmosphere rushed in. The theater was brightly lit and full of guests.
