Upon hearing this, Shen Xiheng fell silent for a long time before sighing, "We don't know yet; we can only try to find them first."
Early the next day, the two knocked out a pair of patrolling guards, changed into their uniforms, and quietly blended into the patrol team to enter the Tulan Imperial Palace.
Shen Xiheng had inquired beforehand and knew that Tulan dispatched a team of guards to patrol the city every day. After finishing their rounds, they would return to the palace to report their duties, and then they would switch places with the guards who had been on duty in the palace the night before, continuing their guard duties at the gates of each hall.
Once the two of them infiltrated the Imperial Palace, they took off the clothes they had been wearing and changed into the attire of palace maids and guards.
The Tulan Imperial Palace was not large, but its layout was intricate and complex. If one was not extremely familiar with the place, it was easy to take a wrong turn.
