Chapter 655 Sneaking into the Palace
”Xiao Yun.”
”Yes, Miss.”
”No one is allowed to come in.”
Xiao Yun froze when she heard that order. She knew that it meant Nan Hua was actually planning on leaving by sneaking out. The one inside would be Ku.
”Yes, Miss.”
Ku was always staying not far from Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence. After a long time of preparation, her task was simply to replace Nan Hua. Compared to the original line of work she was supposed to do, being a body double was much easier.
Now that Nan Hua wanted to leave again, Ku naturally replaced Nan Hua and sat inside the ancestral home. She looked at the gloomy atmosphere and wondered whether the people here actually took care of this place or not. It looked so dusty and dirty.
Swish!
Nan Hua sneaked out of Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence without any hindrance. Even though there were more people who were paying close attention to Nan Shu Cheng’s Residence, they were filled with loopholes. Nan Hua could still easily get out of the residence without alerting any of them.
It was the palace that was harder to sneak into because the supervision was extremely strict. Not to mention, they also recorded the people who came in and came out. This was the reason why those people didn’t dare to launch the assassination attack hastily.
Once they did it, they would lose many months or even years of preparation.
But of course, Nan Hua would not do the same thing as those people and lose her long term preparation. Back when she first sneaked into the palace, she was making use of the ruined secret pathway that had been abandoned. It was because it was long forgotten that she could use it.
This time, she couldn’t do that.
She had to use another method.
Nan Hua stopped not far from the group of servant girls who were coming out of the palace. A copper coin that was partially chipped was thrown in front of one of the palace maidservant.
She stopped.
It was already evening, which meant that they would have to return to the palace soon after they had finished their duty. She kept the copper coin and then turned around in a corner. With a swift movement, she took off her outer robe and put inside the basket.
After that, she left into the alley.
Nan Hua appeared and took the clothes, putting them on top of her previous clothes. She looked at the list of items that the maidservants had to buy before walking out and followed the other girls while checking the basket. Her action looked natural as if she had been doing this for a long time.
Even though Nan Hua was considered rather short, it was still within the normal range of the girl’s average height. Thus, all Nan Hua had to do was to wear some makeup to change her countenance and made her look ordinary.
