Chapter 251 Being followed
Time passed by, and Jiang Ziluo finally completed all the operations. She stopped what she was doing, carefully looked at her "masterpiece", a satisfied smile gradually appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly.
This was her first time using a razor, but the results looked pretty good!
After Jiang Ziluo admired his "masterpiece" for a while, he carefully left the Second Prince's Mansion.
As he walked back, he imagined the chaos in the Second Prince's mansion after daybreak, and he couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.
Jiang Ziluo walked happily on the road, with a smile on her face that was hard to hide. However, she didn't realize that there was a figure quietly following her not far behind her.
The man followed Jiang Ziluo silently like a ghost, his eyes always fixed on her, not missing any of her subtle movements or changes in expression.
When she keenly sensed that there was a looming figure following her behind her, a strong sense of uneasiness instantly surged into her heart, making her immediately alert.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace, as if this would allow her to leave that creepy figure far behind her.
However, contrary to expectations, the mysterious stalker seemed determined to catch her and had no intention of giving up the pursuit just because she sped up.
On the contrary, the man always kept a certain distance and walked slowly, like a cunning fox, patiently waiting for the best time to pounce on his prey.
Jiang Ziluo's heart was pounding like a rapidly beating war drum, and each beat was accompanied by an increasingly intense feeling of tension.
At the same time, her brain was like a high-speed machine, frantically thinking about various possible situations: Who would choose to follow her at this time? When did they start targeting her?
A series of questions surged in her mind like a tide, but she couldn't find the answers for a while.
Although he was filled with self-blame and regret, blaming himself for being so careless that he ended up in such a dangerous situation, Jiang Ziluo knew that this was not the time to feel sorry for himself.
She knew that the most urgent task was to find a way to get rid of this ghost-like stalker as soon as possible, and then look for the right opportunity to figure out the whole story.
So, she walked quickly, looking left and right, anxiously searching for a way to escape. Finally, at a fork in the road, she found a narrow, deep, winding alley.
This alley looks complicated, like a maze. If you can make good use of the terrain here, you may be able to successfully shake off the tail behind you.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ziluo turned around and rushed into the alley without hesitation. Her steps were light and fast, and she moved flexibly in the narrow passage.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had carefully studied the topographic map of the surrounding area during the day, otherwise she would be really helpless facing the maze-like alleys before her.
Jiang Ziluo pondered in her heart. Of course, she thought about entering her own space directly to get rid of the stalker who was following her like a shadow, but this thought only flashed through her mind.
Because doing so was too risky, she had no idea about the strength and identity of the person behind her. If she acted rashly, she would likely end up in an irretrievable situation.
And, most importantly, although she could sense that someone was following her, she did not sense the slightest sense of danger from that person.
Maybe the other party had no ill intentions? Or maybe it was just a misunderstanding? All kinds of speculations swirled in Jiang Ziluo's mind, making her dare not take risks easily.
However, Jiang Ziluo was smart and soon came up with another plan. Regardless of whether the person following her was an enemy or a friend, she decided not to go home for the time being. Instead, she changed her original plan and headed to another destination - the Grand Prince's Mansion.
Thinking back to when they first arrived in Kyoto, Xuan Ba had already introduced the specific situation of various forces in the capital to Jiang Ziluo and others in detail. At this moment, Jiang Ziluo wanted to use this information to resolve the crisis at hand.
She thought to herself: Since the situation in Kyoto is so complicated and unpredictable, it would be better to muddy the waters.
So, Jiang Ziluo took firm steps and headed towards the eldest prince's palace.
The person who had been following Jiang Ziluo closely not far behind was not someone else, but His Royal Highness King Cheng from the Polu Kingdom!
Tonight, King Cheng quietly went to another extremely hidden contact location. When the night was deep and everything was silent, he started his journey home and slowly walked towards Chunfeng Tower.
However, something unexpected happened. On this quiet and deserted street, King Cheng suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in front of him.
His heart skipped a beat, and he looked carefully for a while, but he didn't notice anyone protecting this person. So, a strong urge came to his mind - he wanted to follow him silently, escorting this seemingly lonely figure all the way.
King Cheng had no idea that his action at this moment would simply add a lot of trouble and trouble that could have been avoided in his future search for the important person.
In this way, King Cheng always kept a distance from Jiang Ziluo, and followed Jiang Ziluo carefully. His mind was completely focused on the delicate figure in front of him, so he didn't pay attention to where they were going.
Jiang Ziluo walked slowly and lightly past the door of the Grand Prince's Mansion, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that no one was paying attention, she quickly went around to an inconspicuous corner.
She leaped up nimbly, grabbed the wall tightly with both hands, then easily climbed over the wall and landed silently in the eldest prince's palace.
As soon as he landed, Jiang Ziluo got into the space without hesitation. Jiang Ziluo looked up at the time and found that it was already past four in the morning.
She thought to herself, "I wonder if that person will leave soon?" In order to ensure her own safety, she decided to wait for an hour before going out to investigate.
During this long hour, Jiang Ziluo did not sit there and wait foolishly. She occasionally poked her head out of the space and carefully observed the movements outside. At first, it was indeed just a quick glance, but later she gradually grew bolder.
Because the eldest prince's mansion was a completely unfamiliar place to her. Even though the eldest prince was now under imprisonment, there were still many guards deployed in the mansion.
Jiang Ziluo knew that less trouble is worse than more trouble, and did not want to cause herself extra trouble. When she emerged from the space for the third time, after careful observation and judgment, she felt that it should be safe at this time.
So she made a decision that if the situation remained calm for a while, she would leave here quickly and return to her residence.
After all, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and she was worried that if she delayed any further, Mingyue and the others would notice that she was missing, and something unexpected might happen.
