People were guarding the entrance of the small courtyard, so Doctor Shen could only walk around the small courtyard to think.
Not long after Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sifu entered Changyu, the secret guards came to receive them. They said that Doctor Shen was in the direction of the Northern General’s mansion. Jiang Yue and the others had planned to find an inn closest to the Northern General’s mansion to stay, but before they could reach the inn, another Cloud Guard came to report that they had seen the carriage carrying Doctor Shen enter the backyard of the Northern General’s mansion.
It was certain that Prince Yi was in the Northern General’s mansion.
However, Prince Yi had been rescued by two mysterious masked men from Prince Ying’s residence. Those two mysterious men were extremely skilled, which was why Jiang Yue had come personally this time to make sure that they would not get away this time. She wanted to prevent Prince Yi from being rescued again and causing more trouble.
If he wanted to catch someone, he couldn’t just go there rashly. He had to find out which room Prince Yi was staying in and who was around him. He was going to wait until everything was clear before arresting him. That would be a foolproof plan.
Jiang Yue lowered her voice and said to Xue Yan, “There’s no need to rush. Let’s wait until midnight. I’ll go over alone and take a look at his condition first.”
“Alright.” Xue Yan understood and nodded. He then ordered the Cloud Guards to inform the people watching everywhere to continue observing the environment and not take any action.
They continued to follow Xue Sifu to the inn closest to the Northern General.
By the time they arrived at the inn, the sky was already dark. It was almost midnight. Fortunately, the Cloud Guards had already booked a room in the inn. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the second floor.
After a simple meal, midnight struck.
Jiang Yue sneaked out of the inn alone and headed to the General’s Mansion.
She was small and nimble, so it was quite easy for her to enter and exit the heavily guarded North General’s mansion. After entering, she walked in the shadows, so no one noticed her at all.
At this moment, the backyard of the General’s mansion was lit up. Some of the rooms in the small courtyards were also lit up. They were not asleep yet. Jiang Yue walked around the backyard of the General’s mansion and confirmed that the most secluded courtyard with two people guarding the door was Prince Yi’s residence.
Without making a sound, she came to the side of the small courtyard. At the foot of the wall, she climbed up the wall without making a sound. She carefully observed the situation in the small courtyard.
The shadows of the trees fell on the courtyard wall and there were guards everywhere. It was because she was so small that none of them saw her. Even if there were people in the courtyard and at the entrance of the courtyard, no one would notice that there was a child there.
Even if she was discovered, it didn’t matter. She would immediately enter the space and disappear. Then, the person who discovered her would think that he was seeing things.
As the small courtyard was brightly lit, Jiang Yue had a clear view of things down below.
In the small courtyard, two servants were sitting on the steps of a room, dozing off. On the threshold of the main room, three servants were also sitting on a chair, looking sleepy.
A servant came out from a small room. He closed the door and said respectfully, “Rest well, Doctor Shen.”
This was Doctor Shen’s room!
The warm pavilion in the small courtyard was also lit, but the window was wide open. In the room connected to the warm pavilion, the window facing the South was also open. The two maids who were napping on the steps were sitting at the door of this room.
