Chapter 71 Meet!
Arriving in the capital, I found it to be far more prosperous than those small counties. I had originally thought I would stay in Yongguan and Shilin for a long time, but I didn't expect the capital instance to open so quickly.
According to Nie Qing's own storyline, she should still be fighting in the inner quarters of Yongguan. Fortunately, Lu He has the system to help her skip these plots that are useless to the mission.
It's a pity she didn't get to play a palace intrigue drama game. When she watched "The Legend of Huan", "The Legend of Yi", and "The Legend of Yue" before, Lu He was so engrossed that she stayed up all night watching them. She knew them by heart and was confident that she could apply what she learned to fight for eight hundred rounds.
Tsk tsk, what a pity, I didn't get to play this dungeon.
Seeing Lu He shaking his head, acting innocent despite getting the benefit, and spouting nonsense, the system truly despised him from the bottom of its heart.
? – _ – ?
Does this guy really think he won't encounter any more palace intrigues?
After arriving in Beijing, Princess Chengde did not linger with Chao Huaiyuan, but instead hurriedly led her entourage away to an unknown destination.
Liu Xiao acted as Lu He's informant, secretly recruiting soldiers and horses throughout the capital.
Originally, Chao Huaiyuan only wanted to accompany An Linqing around, but as soon as he entered the city, he was found by the servants of his household.
She only urged him to return home quickly.
Lu He had already explained the plans for after they returned to the manor in detail, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Lu He herself naturally neither followed Princess Chengde nor Chao Huaiyuan; she had plenty of money.
Sure enough, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chunyue and Chunyao had already booked the best inn in the entire capital.
Runtian Inn, Tianzi Room, Grade A, four rooms. It can be described as incredibly luxurious.
After checking into the inn, Lu He began to wait for the show to begin the next day.
She sat on the edge of the bed in the room, smelling the incense. It was a bit too strong for her, so she gently pushed open the window to let the fragrance dissipate and ventilate the room.
Looking down through the window.
Seeing a distinguished young lady with an extraordinary air enter the entrance of the Dianjiang Rouge Shop across the street, wearing a veil and accompanied by two maids, Lu He squinted and carefully observed her. Sure enough, a line of text appeared above the young lady's head: Nie Qing, daughter of Minister Nie.
"You're quite interesting, guessing what I was going to ask?" Lu He felt that the system seemed to be getting smarter and smarter, and was becoming more and more adept at these cheat-like operations.
"No, it's because the list has this person scanning function. You just scanned her with your eyes, so..." the system explained.
"Oh? There's such a good thing?"
(?_?) "...Didn't you check what features you selected and enabled before?"
"Haha, sorry, sorry, I opened too many, I can't remember them all. It's not important, it's not important." Lu He waved his hand: "Just remember to remind me to use these cheats. Anyway, it's good for both of us, isn't it?"
"..."
Seeing that the system remained silent and didn't respond, Lu He stopped arguing and continued to observe the real An Linqing, who was actually Nie Qing.
She was choosing rouge and face powder, seemingly planning to do her best to dress up tomorrow. Hehe, too bad, she doesn't know her wishful thinking is about to fall through.
Suddenly feeling a little sorry for the female lead, Lu He pretended to cover her mouth and revealed the villain's signature chuckle. She had truly captured the essence of a villain.
I thought tomorrow would be our first meeting, but I didn't expect to see the female lead today.
However, it seems that Nie Qing's original appearance was no less beautiful than An Linqing's, and she was a beauty with a refined air. Lu He touched her own face now; although it was pretty, it was a bit too flamboyant. Compared to Nie Qing's cool and reserved beauty, it might not be as striking.
But then I thought about it again, and it made sense. After all, Nie Qing's face was the female lead's, while An Linqing's original face was just a minor supporting character. Thinking about it this way, it immediately made perfect sense.
Chunyue and Chunyao opened the door and welcomed several waiters who came in to serve delicious food.
The aroma made Lu He feel hungry, and she lost interest in continuing to observe. She closed the window and eagerly started eating. Everything else would begin tomorrow; there was nothing important today, and eating and sleeping well were the most important things.
The next day, Lu He woke up before dawn. She checked the time and saw that the procession from the Chao family had already set off to deliver the betrothal gifts. She wondered if Princess Chengde had arrived yet.
Soon, Chunyue came into the room to report: "Miss, Liu Xiao's side is ready, we can set off now."
“Alright!” Lu He stood up, dressed in men’s clothing, tied his hair up with a golden crown, and held a folding fan in his hand. Like a handsome young master, he went out with Chun Yao and Chun Yue.
