System Crisis

Chapter 10 Why are you covering your face?
Zhong'er was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shen Lu——the hair bun was loose, and the makeup was also worn out.

Shen Lu jumped up from the couch the moment the door knocked, tore off all the pearls and emeralds from his head, and quickly shook off the quilt.

"Ask who it is." She mouthed the cup.

Gu'er was also clever, and immediately helped her pull up the quilt and put down the bed curtain.

He stepped forward and answered "Who is this?" while opening the door, facing the door with his body. From outside the door, he could only see a faint figure lying on his side on the bed.

"It's me, Nanny Liang."

"Mommy, it's so late, our ladies have all gone to bed, and we have to go to the palace tomorrow. What are you doing?"

Zhong'er didn't intend to get out of the way, and lowered his voice, as if he was really afraid of disturbing "Dugu Qing" inside.

The visitor tilted his head and looked over Zhong'er's shoulder, but he really couldn't see anything.

"Nurse? What are you doing? You insist on disturbing our young lady? If the young lady doesn't rest well, the emperor will punish her, Jiaofang..."

Zhong'er moved half a step, taking her eyes for granted.Deliberately lengthened the ending.

"Hehe, what did Zhu'er say? Mammy, I just saw that Miss Qing came back unhappy, and I was afraid that it would affect her entry into the palace, so I came to visit. Since Miss Qing has already rested, I won't bother you any more."

Nanny Liang turned away from the room with hesitation in her eyes, and left.

Gu'er glared at her and closed the door.

However, as soon as he cut off his sight, he leaned against the door and fell to the ground, as if he lost all strength.

"Hey... what if we are found out... that's decapitation" before he finished speaking, Shen Lu covered his mouth,
"Shh-"

Gu'er also seemed to hear some rustling, like the sound of cloth rubbing, and Mammy Liang came back again.

Extremely nervous, shaking like chaff, eyes anxious.But he saw Shen Lu squatting beside her with his eyes squinted, breathing coldly, his calmness was unbelievable.

Then San Lu covered Zhong'er's mouth with one hand, and moved towards the bed.

"Zhu'er, after tomorrow, miss, I am the master, a kind of person like Madam Liang, why bother with him."

Shen Lu spoke with as soft a voice as possible, slowly let go of the cup, and gestured for her to answer with his eyes.The voice is not loud, and some of them can be vaguely heard outside the door, but it is difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"That's right, miss... she, Nanny Liang thought she was someone who wanted to flirt with miss..."

Aunt Liang, who turned back from outside, almost gritted her teeth and murmured in a low voice: "Bah! These two little bastards are so ungrateful that they will die a good death!"

Zhong'er didn't dare to take a few breaths until it was completely quiet outside. "Did you expose yourself! Don't drag me and my young lady down!"

"We don't know yet. But what if we find out? We still have to do what needs to be done, and just kill the people who need to be killed."

Shen Lu glanced at Zhong'er, and Zhong'er trembled in fright. "You, don't mess around!"

Shen Lu twitched the corners of his mouth and lay back on the bed.She knew that impersonating Dugu Qing was not that simple.Before entering the palace, she was tested by the mother of Jiaofang for a long time.At that time, there will be more flaws in front of hundreds of ministers?

But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

After what happened the night before yesterday, Shen Lu didn't dare to be careless. He got up before dawn to put on makeup, and sat in the sedan early to wait, so as not to make Dugu Qing's acquaintances suspicious. Whenever anyone spoke, there was a curtain behind him.

"Who is here, get out of the car and check!"

"Master, don't be upset, we are the musicians of Jiaofang, and we came together with Miss Duguqing. This is our official letter."

Nanny Liang often travels to and from the palace, and she is familiar with the procedures, so it won't take long.

"This is Miss Dugu? Why are you still covering your face?"

The voice of the gate guard began to take on some suspicion.

"Returning to the official, little girl, I prepared a newly choreographed sword dance for the emperor, with strange makeup, don't blame the military master!"

Shen Lu removed the veil, revealing a face full of peach blossoms.There is some mystery and elusiveness in the strange beauty.
