Chapter 124: Detective Xuan Yi
After the morning tea time was over, Di Yungui waved goodbye to the two of them, leaving only Xuan Yi and Ye Ya to clean up the mess.
Of course, mainly Xuan Yi.
With Ye Ya's accomplishments, she can barely do the job of pouring tea and delivering snacks to others, but if you ask her to clean up and finish the maid duties, she will be powerless.
Although it seems very unorthodox for a Star City pureblood with a higher status to do such a thing, fortunately there are very few pedestrians here, so it is barely acceptable.
Xuan Yi was the leader among them. He put away the tableware quickly and packed up the remaining food and threw it into the trash can. Although the young man wanted to throw away the tableware, after all, it was rented with money. , so he and Ye Yaduo walked a few steps, delivered the tableware to the nearest post office, and entrusted them to mail it to the porcelain shop. As for the deposit paid in advance, it would be sent to Sister Xing Lihua in a few days. in hand.
After a complete set of props for sneaking into the central business district and taking Ye Ya on a full tour of this pearl that didn't feel like he was in the depths of the city, Xuan Yi finally began to think about his next plan.
That is entering the palace area.
If you want to enter the palace area from other areas, such as the administrative area adjacent to it, you will be subject to very strict screening and identification. Therefore, although the administrative area is actually relatively easy to enter, it is extremely difficult to enter the palace area from the administrative area.
The Central Business District is different - due to the strict entrance screening of the Central Business District, it means that the junction with the Palace District is almost unobstructed. After all, the Central Business District is strictly speaking the back garden and office space of the Palace District. Therefore, the flow of people between the two is much greater than between them and other areas.
To put it another way, the central business district, palace district and administrative district together constitute the core area of Star City, and the first two are the actual imperial city.
So after a brief discussion with Ye Ya, the two re-arranged themselves as a master and a servant, and passed through the road between them openly. Just as Xuan Yi expected, the staff there just looked at each other indifferently. He glanced at them and let them pass without even saying a word.
The layout of the Star City palace area is different from other places.
This was originally the residence of the royal family of Star City. Palaces of various sizes were built like a chessboard along the mountains and rivers. They are either quiet and elegant, or magnificent and majestic. Most of them have a history of more than 10,000 years. They are ancient relics in the true sense. .
But since Yongyao Supreme came to power, there has been a major reshuffle of forces in Star City. Not to mention the disintegration of the royal family, the top families have changed from the thirteen families of the Star Orbit Presbyterian Church to the six major silver bloodlines today, so most of them were originally qualified to live in the palace. All the families in the district were expelled, and Yongyao Supreme himself did not like luxury. In the end, he only chose the most secluded and smallest house in the palace district to live in. On weekdays, he slept in the administrative district all year round.
Because the Star Lord personally leads by example, even if the six major silver families have the right to live, most of them only have core members living in the palace area, while more people choose to live in the administrative area and the central business district, and even members of the silver bloodline end up living in the palace area. I want to settle in the business district or even the old city.
A large number of vacant palaces have been given other uses. For example, being a palace for the Ninth Princess to stay is naturally one kind, and being used to hold grand dances and ceremonies is a second kind of use. But more of them are. As a reward, it is given to Star City members who hold high positions or have made great achievements.
For example, the six governors and county chiefs each own a complete palace in the palace area. Even though this palace is not permanently owned, as a symbol of power, there is no more direct manifestation than it.
The palace where Ye Ya was arranged was located slightly deeper in the palace area, and its specifications were for the reception of the head of the empire. After all, Princess Lanye Ninth would be considered the deputy head of the Lanye Empire under normal circumstances.
And tenure.
Compared to the Central Business District, which Xuan Yi has been to several times, the boy in the Palace District only got a glimpse of it during his mission. But the good news is that there is a full map of Star City inside Dark Star, and its level of detail is comparable to the tourist maps sold by vendors outside. The difference is different, and as the palace area and the central business district are highly confidential, there are no secrets to Dark Star.
So Xuan Yi took Ye Ya, who was looking around, and went straight to the palace of the Ninth Princess. Since there were fewer pedestrians in the palace area, and most of the people who could enter here were real nobles, no one could think of Xuan Yi. He actually sneaked in through various loopholes, so no one even cast a curious look at the master and servant.
But Ye Ya doesn't think so.
She didn't expect that she would be forced to ride a donkey to find a donkey. The most important thing was that she turned out to be the donkey.
This is very unhappy.
But Ye Ya has nothing to do. She can't tell Xuan Yi the truth, and what's the use of telling it?
Let Xuan Yi knock her out and sell her?
That's right, they are in the palace area now. If they tell the truth in a place like this, they don't need to run any extra errands.
So Ye Ya chose to remain silent.
Moreover, Ye Ya has never taken a good look at the palace area at all. She only had a glimpse of it from a high place in the palace. When she escaped at night, not to mention that she couldn't see anything in the dark surroundings, even if Ye Ya could see it. She didn't have time to watch, so she focused on taking the less crowded road and ran with the Tower of Heaven as the coordinates. Who knew that she fell asleep while running for no apparent reason, and was picked up by this guy and taken home.
Of course - Ye Ya had to admit that according to what happened later, if she hadn't been picked up by the other party, she would probably be getting slapped by Aunt Ye Xuan.
When the boy ran away and the girl was thinking wildly, they had already arrived at the palace where Ye Ya stayed that day. They saw that it was built against the mountain and was white and majestic. It included a natural waterfall within the scope of the palace, and then led the river to build a bridge. It was a wonderful idea , uncanny workmanship.
But at this time, the palace door was closed tightly. Although it looked like someone was living inside, it was obviously sealed off from the inside.
Xuan Yi was in no hurry to knock on the door and enter. And he consciously knew that he couldn't get in even if he wanted to.
Although the Ninth Princess is still inspecting various places in Star City and definitely does not live there, how can she, an ordinary pureblood of unknown origin, be qualified to enter this palace.
Besides, his pure-blood identity is still fake.
Unless, unless the person next to him helps him lead the way and open the door.
So Xuan Yi took Ye Ya and walked twice around the palace perimeter where he could walk around with both feet, and then he took Ye Ya to sit down in a secluded place.
"I'm sure that the theft of the Ninth Princess Mission must be the work of insiders."
I know! Do you still need to emphasize it to me?
Ye Ya thought like this, but she still said honestly: "How did you tell?"
