The fourth prince invited Governor Lian into his carriage, and they set off towards the governor's mansion.
Meanwhile, Zhao Ling and He Qing were lurking in the city center. After a while, they noticed some maidservants from the governor's mansion shopping for the evening banquet. Seizing the opportunity, they lured two of the maidservants into an alleyway and knocked them out. Then, they snuck back to their room at the inn they rented in the city center.
They quickly changed into the maidservants' clothing and laid them on the bed. He Qing produced some thin masks and disguising tools, while Zhao Ling studied the facial features of one of the maids carefully before selecting a mask and carefully applying it to her face. With a brush and powder, Zhao Ling expertly blended the mask onto her skin. After a few minutes, Zhao Ling had transformed into one of the maidservants.
"Senior sister, you're so fast," He Qing said, painting her brows.
