Without anyone around, Fei Luo could not hold it in anymore. The reason why he said so patiently was because this girl was different from the women he had doted on in the past. However, no matter how different she was, she was still a woman. Fei Luo’s patience was exhausted.
“Miss Zi Su.” Fei Luo slowly leaned towards Zi Su.
Zi Su suddenly widened her almond-shaped eyes. “Lord Fei Luo, have you seen the Prince Consort? What does he look like?”
Fei Luo couldn’t bring himself to do anything with these big black eyes looking at him. He suppressed his anger and said, “It’s rumored that the Prince Consort’s appearance is damaged and he wears a mask all year round. I don’t know what he looks like.”
“A… mask?” Zi Su murmured.
“It’s getting late. I’ll tell you about the situation in the Queen Manor tomorrow. Rest first.” Fei Luo looked at Zi Su ambiguously and stretched out his wolf claws. Just as he was about to touch Zi Su’s body, Zi Su suddenly grabbed his hand.
Fei Luo was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought that the other party was flirting with him and even smiled meaningfully. However, soon, he couldn’t smile anymore. The hand that was clamped on him was getting stronger and stronger, almost breaking his wrist. He instinctively wanted to pull his hand out, but he realized that he could not move it.
How could this be? Fei Liuo was stunned.
“Little, little beauty?” Fei Luo called her tentatively.
“Yeah,” the other party replied indifferently. However, it was no longer the delicate and timid voice from before. Instead, there was a trace of carelessness.
Fei Luo had seen Zi Su before. He had spoken to her before. He did not feel it when the other party deliberately lowered her voice, but once she regained her voice, Fei Luo could tell that something was wrong.
Fei Luo was instantly vigilant. “You’re not Zi Su!”
“You only realized now?” The other party smiled lightly and took off the mask on her face in front of him, revealing a face that was more than ten times more beautiful than Zi Su.
Fei Luo was dumbfounded.
Yu Wan touched her cheek. It did not feel good to wear a mask. She did not know what material Old Cui used to make the mask. Not only was it airless, but it was also tense. Actually, this human skin mask was only 70 to 80% similar to Zi Su’s face. It was very easy for people who were familiar with Zi Su to see through it. But the Gu Master had only seen Zi Su a few times so he could not recognize her. It was even more impossible for Fei Luo, who had only caught a glimpse of Zi Su on the streets, to recognize her.
“You… you…”
“What you? The Gu Master of the dignified Queen Manor is actually a stutterer? Why don’t I say it for you? Do you want to ask me why I pretended to be Zi Su? Naturally, I saw through your scheme. As for when I saw through it…” Yu Wan smiled faintly. “That Yu guy walked and stopped along the way. Do you think your acting is very good? ”
They had already suspected him when he deliberately urged the carriage to move forward. They could enter the city without speeding up from the original inn to Liu City, but he had to pretend to be anxious to show everyone how anxious he was to enter the city. It was also to get rid of suspicion when he suddenly had a stomach ache and could not travel anymore. Little did he know that there were two doctors among the eight of them. Whether he was really sick or not could be seen through at a glance.
Gu Master Yu asked the coachman to keep an eye on Zi Su, which was even more flawed. How could three hidden experts not even notice a coachman keeping an eye on them? The coachman thought that he was lucky, but he did not know that Zi Su’s being alone was a big plan that the master and servant had discussed.
The first maidservant Gu Master Yu met was Zi Su, and the second was Yu Wan.
“You want to find the Gu King with a lousy bead?” Yu Wan laughed sarcastically.
Wait, lousy bead, Gu King… Fei Luo’s eyes widened. “You have the Gu King?!”
Yu Wan chuckled. “Yes, it’s in my hands. If you have the ability, come and take it.”
Fei Luo did not even break free from her hand. How could he obtain the Gu King? Fei Luo’s eyes turned cold as he shouted sternly, “Guards!”
Yu Wan smiled.
Fei Luo’s temples throbbed. “Guards!”
Yu Wan couldn’t even be bothered to grab his wrist and threw him to the ground. Fei Luo fell flat on his face. “Someone—someone—”
Yu Wan looked down at him and said, “Stop shouting. My men have dealt with all your guards.”
Fei Luo retorted, “Impossible! They’re the guards of the Queen Manor! All of them are top experts—”
Yu Wan smiled. “Is that so? Then why didn’t any of those experts rush in to save you when you were shouting so loudly?”
