Food comes first!
Yu Ronglou didn't wake up till it was almost sunset. She heard a noise coming from the outer room that woke her slumber. Her body had been exhausted from the travel and they plan to move the next day already.
She sat up just in time as Huangyu called out. "Miss? Are you awake?"
"En. Enter."
Huangyu entered and helped his Mistress get ready. "Your orders have been settled, Miss." she whispered.
"En. Come on, let's eat. I'm starving." Yu Ronglou walked towards the door. As usual, her red robe was eye-catching, she dons her hat and veil on. This time, even Huangyu was dressed up. She no longer had the servant attire, but instead look liked a noble scholar. She had a black robe and a hat that covers her face.
As they got out of the room, Huangyu assisted her Mistress and held her Mistress' waist. Yes, your guesses are correct. Huangyu was acting as her Mistress' Lover.
"Dear, please watch your step." With the help of Hongfe's medicine, Huangyu was able to change her voice to a manly one. Just like when Gu Hongfe hid his manly voice to a woman's one. Not only did Gu Hongfe gave them the medicine but also how to make it, in case they ran out.
Yu Ronglou didn't talk along the way but held on to Huangyu's arm as if the two were fated together. Since the two were too mysterious and lovey-dovey, they gained quite a lot of attention.
Huangyu had a special talent. Aside from being loyal to her Mistress in this life and Yu Ronglou's previous life, she had the ability to act. Yu Ronglou's childhood life had been boring, so she had tasked her servant Huangyu to entertain her. Huangyu would then read her novels and act out the scenes to make it more believable.
If truth be told, it helped Yu Ronglou a lot during her days as an Empress. In times that she wanted to come out of the Palace, Huangyu would in act like her. She was seldom called by the Emperor, so there was hardly any harm done. Yu Ronglou had grasps Xu Fengxin's daily schedule, so she wanted to enjoy her life in a bit more thrilling one. This was also the case on how she had met Gu Hongfe, it was one of her incognito appearances. So right now, Huangyu was doing a pretty good job. She had the aura of an aloof man, mysterious and noble.
Yu Ronglou leaned onto Huangyu's shoulder. Huangyu was two years older than her and was also a hand taller. Like this, they look like young lovers.
They walked into a restaurant and Huangyu asked for a private room. Huangyu had already come here earlier to reserved a room, part of the task that her Mistress had ordered.
As they went in, two groups were watching their every move.
-----
First Group consisted of 10 people, who were dressed in black robes.
"Sir, they have entered the establishment."
"En, let's wait. Our Young Palace Master had ordered to capture them. Let's do that once they returned to the inn tonight."
"Yes, sir!"
-----
The second Group consisted of Zu Ren and 5 other people. They were the Night Owls, secret hidden guards of the Crown Prince.
"Sir, The Eldest Miss had entered the restaurant and the Hidden Red Cloud Palace is watching them as well."
"En. The Master's guess is right. The Eldest Miss is really heading east. Keep a close watch on the Hidden Red Cloud's movements. If I'm correct, they will make a move tonight."
"Yes, Sir."
-----
Unbeknownst to the two groups, Yu Ronglou had set up her own plans. She wouldn't be deserving as the Empress in her previous life if she can't escape this situation. Although she didn't know who was keeping a watch on her, doesn't mean that she didn't know that they were there.
She could easily tell when someone was watching her. As soon as she had gotten out of the inn, she had this feeling of being watched. She smirked at the thought. Right now, she was conquering a Roasted Chicken Thigh. She needed to eat, before taking down her enemies. Food comes first, Life comes second!
