1007 [Bonus chapter]Meeting Old Acquaintances

Nan Hua has never been a kind person.

She also had no qualms of using other people if it meant that she could achieve her goal. For some people, she didn’t mind giving them a way out but she didn’t care for the others as she had her own mission to fulfill.

There was no way she could care for strangers.

Especially when she knew that most of these people from Zhang Xu Kingdom would go against Fei Yang Kingdom.

‘Here.’

Moving silently, Nan Hua slowly walked towards the inner garden. The number of noble ladies in this area had decreased, but there were still some of them walked here and there. They talked to their friends, laughing and gossiping about the recent news in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Everyone looked rather relaxed and calm.

Their behavior seemed to reflect their current state, which was mostly calm and confident. In their opinion, Zhang Xu Kingdom would never lose against Fei Yang Kingdom no matter how many battles were held.

Nan Hua didn’t care that much about their behavior either.

.....

She sneaked into the inner palace and then moved towards the Emperor’s palace. Empress and Emperor would have their own palace, but their location was not far from each other. In any case, what Nan Hua wanted was to reach the main palace and headed towards Prime Minister Lei’s study.

Soon, she found the location.

It didn’t seem to be exactly that hidden because there were a lot of guards walking around the area.

Swish!

‘Two guards above the roof. They seem to be silently monitoring this room in order to make sure that there’s no one who sneak in.’

Unfortunately for them, they met someone like Nan Hua. She walked into the study room and rummaged the area. Before long, she found what she needed and took the skin and brush she had prepared.

Her hand swiftly copied the information and the map in front of her.

Tep! Tep! Tep!

The sound of footsteps came from outside, but Nan Hua still calmly copied the map. Her hand’s movement was firm yet fast. Even though a lot of people might have panicked under this state, Nan Hua still continued what she was doing.

She didn’t make any sound when she was copying.

“Anyone inside?”

“No, it’s empty and dark as usual.”

“Oh.”

The guards then walked away once more.

Nan Hua was hiding behind the table while copying. As long as the guard didn’t enter, they wouldn’t be able to see her. And with her erasing presence skill, there was no way they would be able to notice her.

‘It’s done.’

When it was done, Nan Hua returned everything to its rightful location once more. She was trained to memorize everything she saw, hear, or read at the fastest possible time.

One of the reasons was in order to let her be able to relay information even when she only heard it once and another reason was to make sure she would be able to return everything to the condition before she did anything.

That way, the fact that the information leaked wouldn’t be found so easily.

When they found out, it was already too late.

And without the presence of any surveillance camera and other technologies, Nan Hua’s job has become a lot easier.

Nan Hua put the map and then sneaked out once more.

She followed the same route towards Empress’ palace. After all, the way out of the main palace was heavily guarded. It would be harder to get out from that place without knowing the exact schedules for the guards.f𝘳𝒆𝑒𝓌𝒆𝗯n𝗼𝘷ℯl. 𝑐𝚘𝘮

*rustle*

“Your Highness, the garden had changed quite a bit since the last time this concubine paid a visit,” a familiar voice talked in neither servile or overbearing tone. However, it sounded as if it carried the air of nobility that was forged for so many years.

Nan Hua halted in her steps.

There was only one route to return to the party from the garden and these people were blocking the way. Nan Hua didn’t want to spend so much time here and if she slipped through other methods, there were guards around.

She didn’t want to be seen by people.

“Imperial Concubine Yue is really perceptive. There are a lot of people who like the garden, so Ben Gong* naturally paid more attention to the recent popular flowers.”

“I see.”

Nan Hua looked from the side of the bush and saw three young ladies standing at the front with a lot of maidservants following them. They were all dressed regally with various decorations that made them looked exceptionally elegant.

And Nan Hua knew their identity right away from the conversation.

The woman with the phoenix dress was naturally the Empress. She was already a bit aged, but with the help of thick powder that increased an inch of her skin’s thickness, she still looked like she was in her late twenties.

The woman beside her might be another princess who had quite the status in Zhang Xu Kingdom. Different from Fei Yang Kingdom who had limited number of prince and princess, there were a lot more princess and prince in Zhang Xu Kingdom.

In fact, the number of princess far exceeded the number of prince.

If Nan Hua was not wrong, there was a total of 10 princesses who were still alive by now with various ages.

And the third one, Imperial Concubine Yue, Princess Yang Yue from Fei Yang Kingdom. She was also the same princess who was being married away to Zhang Xu Kingdom in order to gain the agreement many years ago.

But right now, she looked very different compared to that time.

She had grown up and her face no longer showed any trace of immaturity that she showed when she clashed against other noble ladies back then. Her previously visible blades were being hidden and used more covertly.

“Your Highness is really amazing.” Imperial Concubine Yue smiled brightly, showing dimples on her cheek.
