"Are you ready?" Ming Yue Yin shouted from the outside, she can feel Zhao Li Xin's presence inside the room and she knew better not to enter or she would be granted by the amount of 'Dogfood'.
Lory jumps off from Zhao Li Xin laps than she opens the door for Ming Yue Yin "I'm ready!" she grinned widely.
"Weapon?"
"Check!"
"Antidote?"
"Check!"
"Protective amulet?"
"Check!"
Ming Yue Yin nods her head in satisfied than suddenly she remembers something "Where's Lord Girsha?"
Lory's eyes bulged, she forgot about the birdie "Girsha!" she yells for the bird.
[Check!] Girsha land smoothly on her shoulder.
"All check!" Lory excitedly smiles.
Ming Yue Yin pondering for a minuted "That….and that….okay we good to go!" she sighs after she sure they fully prepare, she also already teach the basic manner when Lory meet the empress because the manner is not far off from the basic manner in her world Lory could pick up the teaching easily.
Zhao Li Xin's heart becomes restless when Lory prepares to leave, maybe the best place to live in the underground palace but he doesn't want her to lives in the darkness someone as bright as Lory can only suit lives under the blue sky.
Zhao Li Xin strokes Lory's hair gently "Be safe…" he reminds her again then he shifted his glance to Ming Yue Yin "In a dire situation, do everything you want I will clean up the aftermath" his eyes brimmed with malicious intent.
Ming Yue Yin grinned wickedly, with Zhao Li Xin assurance she becomes more confident "Noted!" suddenly a dark aura immerged from both of them, it makes the servants and maids take a few steps back away from them.
At that time Lory though is 'Since when they become so close?'
And so they left, Lory and Ming Yue Yin used Zhao Li Big carriage, Ming Yue Yin disguised herself as a personal maid, Lory squint her eyes while staring at Ming Yue Yin, you can change her clothes but you can't change her temperament, the Empress still an Empress even if she wears rags.
"Will people believe you that you just a simple maid?" Lory feel trouble just watching her wear a maid uniform but sit lazily while drinking tea comfortably, she has a beautiful face, thick eyelashes, and smooth white pearl skin, her gaze is sharp and fills with confident with the hint of mockery in her eyes, no matter how you see it, she doesn't look like a maid at all.
"Don't worry aunty, they might guess my position at Hei Shen is not low and I'm here to protect you" she smacked her red lips "It would be weird if the future madam of Hei Shen sect escort by a mere maid"
"Is the other noble ladies do the same?"
"I believe so, you know we are not invited just to watch a bird aren't we?" she sneered.
Lory lean her head on the pillow "No we aren't"
[Only Human who will make so much hassle just to killed] Girsha stifles while nestles on the small pillow.
The gate to the palace pack with a long line of carriage, Lory peek from her window and she sees commoner and passersby pointing at her carriage and several other carriages too, they stare at the carriage with envy because only a wealthy family who owned carriage and the ladies who are invited are from the first rank to third rank official only so the carriage they used is even more luxurious than normal carriage, Lory finds the similarity with people in her world who used to show off their car, eventually, all rich people behave the same way no matter which world they came from.
"Aunty please don't forget to hide your weapon inside the spatial ring, It is a crime to bring a weapon inside the palace unless you are the soldiers" Ming Yue Yin reminds her.
"I know, how about you? You have a spatial ring too right?" Lory fixed her dress when they get closer to the gate.
"Yes, Uncle made one for me," said Ming Yue Yin.
"Oh, Li Xin made a spatial ring for you too?" she surprised Zhao Li xXin treat Ming Yue Yin very nicely, is a good thing because she likes a family for Lory and the only person in this world who knows about her past.
"Yes, after our business profit exceeds five hundred million gold taels, he finally agrees to make a spatial ring for me" she rolls her eyes, Zhao Li Xin is so hard to please and if not because of her relationship with Lory he might not even consider her request.
Lory blinks her eyes in shock "That's a lot…" she petrified when she heard the numbers.
"No s*it!" she said with annoyance.
Because Zhao Li Xin gives spatial ring to her easily she didn't pay too much attention to her ring, she knows the ring is expensive but she doesn't know it was that expensive, suddenly her finger feel heavy.
"You know uncle only generous with you but with others….he is a shrewd businessman especially that money-grubber Wu San Bo" Ming Yue Yin click her tongue exasperatedly.
"Are they making hard for you" Lory feel worried and noted herself to talk with Zhao Li Xin.
Ming Yue Yin waves her hands "Nah, it's still acceptable, is not like I don't gain any profit but it's scared me knowing they were this hard to me, I can imagine how they conduct business with other people, no wonder the economy of Jiang Wei kingdom wnt to nose dive because uncle doing" she chuckles heartily, she admired Zhao Li Xin cunningness and his ability to pick up a talented people like Wu San Bo, she wish she found a talented person like Wu san Bo someday.
Because Ming Yue Yin seems to have no problem doing business with Zhao Li Xin and she looks like she enjoyed having a battle of wits with Wu San Bo and Zhao Li Xin so Lory didn't interfere, is a good thing for Ming Yue Yin to learn from talented people like them.
"Look, we arrive, aunty!" Ming Yue Yin suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh?" the carriage suddenly stop moving.
Ming Yue yin patted his maid uniform from pastry crumbs than she fixes her modest high bun hairstyles, a formal hairstyle for a maid then suddenly she make a wan expression "How do I look?"
"Like I just killed your dog," Lory said bluntly.
"This is how maid looks like?" she clarifies herself.
"Like someone kills their dog?" Lory said in ridiculed.
"No this is my maid looks like when I sid I don't like the noodle they make"
Lory massage her temples "You guys are so weird" she sighs "Just stop it, you said yourself you are not just an ordinary maid, just be yourself only the modest version of you…."
"Oh yes, I forgot!" Ming Yue Yin scratches her head shyly "Okay I just acted more….humble" she changed her expression to be more docile but it only make Lory uncomfortable just like a bad kid suddenly becomes obedient.
"This is very uncomfortable…" Lory let out a long sigh than Ming Yue Yin got out from the carriage before her just like a good maid she supposed to be.
"Ready or not, here I come…" she Muttered.
Girsha perch on her shoulder than chirping excitedly [This is gonna be fun!]
