So, she couldn't make any changes!
It was already late, and the City Gate must have been closed. If she rashly left the city at this time and got caught, she would miss her chance!
Just as she was thinking about what to do, a group of people suddenly caught her attention.
From their clothing and attire, they seemed to be palace personnel!
She secretly followed them. The group rode more than ten horses, each pulling a large wooden barrel behind them. It seemed they were undoubtedly from the palace!
The most dangerous place is often the safest place. Since it wasn't a good time for her to leave the city, it would be better to take a stroll in the Palace. With so many people in the Palace, as a newcomer, she wouldn't attract much attention. As long as she could avoid the recent turmoil in the Palace for a few days, she would surely think of a way to escape.
With her plan set, she quietly followed the group. When they took a break, she stealthily knocked out one of them and changed into his clothes. As it was dark, visibility was poor, and everyone recognized each other by their clothing and position. Therefore, Yin Luo's infiltration did not raise any suspicions.
This group was actually going out of the palace to fetch water.
The journey was long; it took them two hours to reach their destination. After fetching the water and returning, it was already early morning of the next day.
With a badge in hand, she easily blended into the Palace without much effort. Yin Luo knew that she could no longer live under her previous identity because the knocked-out Palace Maid would eventually return to the Palace. Thus, she needed to adopt a new identity.
She successfully obtained a new badge and service position. She was placed in the Cold Palace, which was remote and seldom visited, so staying there for a few days shouldn't be an issue.
Her plan was correct; after a day passed without any disturbances, she intended to stay there for about three days. Staying too long would risk discovery, while three days was just enough time for the Ghost King to lower his guard and for her to hide within the Palace.
On the third day, she planned to follow the water cart out that night and not return; instead, she would find a place to hide for one night and sneak out of the city early the next morning.
However, everything seemed perfectly arranged until that third day when she unexpectedly encountered someone she shouldn't have met!
She had just finished delivering food to the people in the Cold Palace and was on her way back when she unexpectedly bumped into someone at a corner. Before she could react, she heard the person let out a dramatic "ouch," as if they were in great pain.
Yin Luo quickly noticed the person's luxurious attire and hurriedly knelt down to apologize, saying, "This servant deserves to die. Did I hurt you, my lord?"
"My lord?" the person questioned, then stood up on their own, glaring at her. "Have you ever seen a lord as young and handsome as me?"
That voice and tone were far too familiar!
When Yin Luo heard the first sentence, her heart was already filled with despair. Hearing such narcissistic words now made her want to go crazy.
She wasn't afraid of ruthless people because she could be even more ruthless than others. However, she was afraid of those clingy types who stuck to her like a stubborn adhesive that couldn't be shaken off!
"This servant... has never seen one," she said reluctantly, lowering her voice and bowing her head.
"Hmph, I knew you hadn't seen one," Mu Fengyan said, adjusting his clothes with a proud expression. After seeing her still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, alright, I don't hold it against you. Just go do what you need to do."
Yin Luo responded and quickly got up to leave, but suddenly Mu Fengyan called out again, "Wait..."
Yin Luo had to stop in her tracks.
"Can you climb walls?" Mu Fengyan asked as he caught up from behind.
Climb walls?
What a bizarre question!
"This servant cannot."
"That's perfect, you can practice with me."
Without saying another word, he pulled Yin Luo along. Yin Luo was anxious inside, but she couldn't show any sign of it on her face until the emperor surprisingly brought her to the wall once again.
Last time it was the wall of the Temple, and this time, it was the palace wall!
They seemed to have a special connection with walls!
He took out a rope from his pocket and handed it to Yin Luo, saying, "You climb up and tie it to the branch."
Climb up?
Yin Luo glanced at the tall tree trunk, took the rope, and threw it upwards. The rope immediately tangled itself. Mu Fengyan was so shocked that he exclaimed loudly, turning around in disbelief: "You... it's you... Yin Luo?"
He was stuttering.
Yin Luo calmly looked at him and said, "It's me. I sneaked into the palace because I promised to be the emperor's friend."
