Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 259 The two princes are playing a game!

Abao grew up in nature and has keen senses, able to detect movements that ordinary people cannot perceive.

Zhou Wei already felt that there were big problems with the Lingwang Mansion; the prince didn't act like a prince, and the officials didn't act like officials.

However, lacking any leverage, they couldn't think of a good way to investigate.

Abao came to say in the middle of the night that it had made a discovery, and Zhou Wei immediately went to wake up the princess.

"Princess, wake up! Ah Bao is taking us to be thieves."

The princess was suddenly woken up from her sleep. She was a little grumpy when she woke up, but her expression softened immediately after she saw that it was Zhou Wei.

Without asking any questions, he got dressed and followed Zhou Wei out of the room.

The two men and the bear passed through the palace under the cover of night, winding their way through the night until they arrived at a secluded courtyard.

The eldest princess stood outside the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Abao, are you sure this is the situation here?"

"But this place doesn't look like a place where people live; it's even worse than the Cold Palace."

The red paint on the two wooden doors at the entrance of the courtyard has completely peeled off due to their age.

Exposed to the wind and sun, the door is covered with cracks of all sizes.

The two lanterns at the entrance have faded and look extremely old!

The wooden door was ajar, just big enough for one person to squeeze through sideways.

The princess simply reached out and gently pushed the wooden door, which then creaked open.

The princess immediately stopped, stood still, and took a deep breath.

Fortunately, she only gave it a light push; if she had pushed it away directly, the noise would have woken up everyone in the yard.

If people actually live in this yard!

"Abao, what's in here?"

Hearing Zhou Wei's deep voice, A Bao imitated her by lowering his own voice and making a hoarse sound.

Zhou Wei listened patiently and then relayed the message to Jiang Yueli: "Abao said that the housekeeper is no good; he just makes some vegetables to appease him at night."

"It was so hungry that it was about to come to me for food, but it saw a person carrying something sneaking into this courtyard."

"Abao thought the other person was carrying food, so he turned a corner and quietly followed them."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess felt first heartache and then anger.

Zhou Wei had already reminded the housekeeper that A Bao was an auspicious beast, and yet he dared to neglect his food.

Jiang Yueli patted Abao's head and said, "You must be starving. I'll have Weiwei give you an extra bowl of milk later."

Upon hearing the word "bowl of milk," Abao immediately stood up.

Knowing it couldn't make a sound at that moment, it tried its best to suppress its excitement.

The princess then asked with a smile, "How did you get in through that loud wooden door?"

After hearing the question, Abao did not respond, but simply walked with his short, pigeon-toed legs to the wall.

It stretched out its claws and easily climbed up the wall in a few moments.

Then, the two heard a soft thud as the object landed.

In this darkness, it is barely perceptible.

If it weren't for the rustling sound when Abao landed on the grass, it probably could have remained completely silent.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Wei immediately pulled the princess aside and entered the courtyard.

"Ah Bao is really amazing. He looks huge, but he can be so agile!" the princess exclaimed in surprise.

She had witnessed A Bao's bravery in leading the charge amidst the beast tide.

I've also witnessed the immense power with which Po smashed a tree trunk with a single palm strike.

It landed as gently as a piece of paper, which the princess found incredible!

Zhou Wei chuckled and said, "No problem, it's Kung Fu Panda!"

Abao also proudly raised his head.

This bear knows a lot, little one, you'll see soon enough.

The princess was pulled by Zhou Wei and, together with A Bao, hid in the darkness, standing close to the wall.

The night sky was completely dark tonight; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Fortunately, both of them were cultivators and were not greatly affected by the light.

After the two people and the bear adjusted their breathing, Abao signaled to Zhou Wei that the situation was in the room in the northwest corner.

Zhou Wei was about to step forward to check when she was stopped by the Princess.

Although Zhou Wei couldn't see Jiang Yueli's expression in the darkness, she could sense that she was nervous.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"Weiwei, could you ask Abao if... is there a person in there?"

Are there people inside the room?

Zhou Wei couldn't help but shiver. It was a dark and windy night, and in the northwest corner of the dilapidated courtyard, there wasn't a single lamp in the house.

If there were people inside, they should be fast asleep.

Ah Bao said something was amiss, which was really strange!

"Abao, is that a little person inside? Or did you see someone carrying something go into that room?"

Abao mumbled something under his breath for a while, and Zhou Wei felt more and more like scratching her head as she listened.

Po is, after all, an animal, and he has his own understanding of what he sees.

When it relayed its words, Zhou Wei didn't quite understand.

"you sure?"

Abao nodded.

Zhou Wei took a deep breath before looking at the Princess: "Abao said there are indeed people inside."

The eldest princess held Zhou Wei's hand and instinctively tightened her grip.

"Who is this person, and what are they doing?"

"Abao said that the princess's two brothers were inside... playing games..."

The eldest princess was astonished, thinking she had misheard.

Her two older brothers were already adults and even princes.

Instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, they went to a remote and dilapidated courtyard of the Prince's Mansion to play games?

Jiang Yueli's heart suddenly started pounding, and she felt as if something was blocking her chest.

Zhou Wei then said, "Princess, perhaps Abao misjudged, or perhaps it doesn't understand human behavior and its expression is inaccurate."

"We'll know once we go and take a look."

After saying that, without giving the princess any time to hesitate, he pulled her along and tiptoed to the window.

Intermittent, low sounds came from inside the room, like murmurs or whispers.

I couldn't hear anything through the window.

Just as the two were about to get closer, Ah Bao spoke up.

The nimble tongue licked through the window paper in a flash, instantly revealing a large hole in the window.

Zhou Wei was startled and quickly pried open A Bao's mouth to check.

When they noticed Abao smacking his lips, they realized that the so-called window paper was actually made of glutinous rice.

Zhou Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked through the hole in the window with the princess.

In the dark room, there was a huge bed in the middle, with no other furnishings.

The bed had a mattress but no roof, and a large futon was placed on the bed.

The height of the meditation cushions is also unusual; if a person wants to sit on them, they have to climb using both their hands and feet.

As for what A Bao mentioned, it refers to the two elder brothers of the eldest princess.

At this moment, all that could be seen was the eldest prince sitting cross-legged facing the prayer mat on one side, with his eyes closed and muttering incantations.

His hands kept moving, as if he was breaking something.

In the darkness, his movements were repetitive and monotonous, as if he were performing some ancient ritual.

The muttering whispers coming from his mouth sounded even more eerie because they were inaudible.

Zhou Wei felt a chill in her legs, just like the feeling she had every time she entered the empty, cold environment of the library and needed to use the restroom.

I only saw the eldest prince, which was somewhat different from what A Bao had said.

Zhou Wei was about to turn around and ask A Bao where the Second Prince was.

Then I witnessed the most terrifying scene of my life!
