Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The maid did not call the guards,…
The maid didn't call the guards. She turned her head and looked outside the small garden gate, talking to someone: "No one else has come out, Xiaolu, did you hear it wrong?"
"Really? I clearly felt a sound. Let me take a look." Another voice that Lu Ze was not familiar with came. Before that person walked into the small garden, Lu Ze went back into the bushes.
After the two maids left, Aster and Luze, who had no intention of continuing the investigation, returned to the bedroom the same way they came. After closing the windows on the fourth floor, Aster couldn't help but say to Lu Ze, "They were able to hide from our perception, so there must be something wrong with those two maids. Aze, you tell me... Aze, Lu Ze!"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Lu Ze suddenly came back to his senses.
Asthe narrowed her eyes, put her hands on her hips and asked, "What were you thinking about just now? I called you for a long time."
Lu Ze looked at Qingmei, who had a fierce look on her face, and said hesitantly: "I was thinking, I think the maid from yesterday was Teacher Xiaoyue."
Asthe had a dull expression on her face.
Lu Ze scratched his head awkwardly, and then said, "It's just my intuition. My intuition is not always right."
"But I really think she is Teacher Xiaoyue." Lu Ze added solemnly.
If I really have to say why, it’s probably because the look in the maid’s eyes when she looked at him under the moonlight was too familiar. That unique look, as if they were the only ones in the world, was something he had encountered countless times when traveling before.
He didn't react that time, but he won't react this time.
…
Ren Xiaoyue, who was about to be recognized by Lu Ze, didn't know yet that Lu Ze's intuition was so sharp. However, she would not be surprised if she knew it. At most, she would sigh that the protagonist is the protagonist. But as long as she does not admit it, it is impossible to confirm her identity based on intuition alone.
Ren Xiaoyue appeared there at night because she met Xilu on her way back to the dormitory after her shift change. They were in the same dormitory, so there was no reason for them not to go back together if they met. Halfway through the walk, Xilu said she heard a sound, and Ren Xiaoyue was pulled to stop by her.
Then she saw the idiot prince Albert and Lu Ze, the protagonist of Night Tour.
After reporting Albert and hiding Lu Ze's whereabouts, Ren Xiaoyue followed Xilu back to the dormitory. She was lying in bed, thinking about whether to go out in the second half of the night, when she smelled a strange smell.
Poisoning in the palace? Who is so bold?
Ren Xiaoyue did not move. Not long after, she heard the sound of the window being pried open. Someone climbed in through the window and walked to her bed. Then, the man who walked to her bed shook her body frantically, and only stopped when she pretended to wake up slowly.
Ren Xiaoyue looked carefully and found that it was someone she knew.
In the first half of the night, they were having a secret affair in the small garden, and in the second half of the night, they arranged for the guards to come to the maid's bedroom. Albert was still quite energetic.
With a dagger on Ren Xiaoyue's neck, the intruder, who was covered completely from head to toe, threatened in a muffled voice: "Don't scream if you want to live."
Ren Xiaoyue looked at her roommates who were sleeping like dead pigs and nodded slowly.
It seems that the medicine just put in is used to knock people out.
The masked man was pleased with her sensible attitude and loosened the dagger in his hand. The dagger was no longer pressed against Ren Xiaoyue's skin. Seeing this, Ren Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
When he tried to use more force, he found that this small dagger could not cut her skin at all. How embarrassing that would be.
"Listen carefully," the masked man said in a tone as if he had phlegm stuck in his throat, "When we take Alexander (Aster's father) to draw blood tomorrow, you need to get him there at the latest."
Ren Xiaoyue hesitated to speak, then nodded slowly again.
The masked man saw through her hesitation and continued to hit her: "It's just that I'm a little late. It won't affect you in any way. If this is done, you will definitely benefit from it in the future. If it's not done... The guards in the palace will not watch over a maid 24 hours a day. There will always be a time when you are left alone, don't you understand?"
This time, Ren Xiaoyue nodded much more firmly. The masked man put away the dagger with satisfaction and jumped out of the window.
Ren Xiaoyue looked at the masked man's open window, silent.
He can't even clean up after someone leaves. Are his subordinates also idiots?
Ren Xiaoyue got up from the bed and put all the things that Xilu had placed before going to bed back in place. Then she walked to the bed, picked up the hair that fell on the ground and put it in her pocket.
The masked men helped her knock out her roommate, and it would be impolite if she didn't leave. Ren Xiaoyue thought righteously as she climbed out of the dormitory.
Early the next morning, Ren Xiaoyue climbed back to the dormitory on the morning dew before Xilu woke up and tucked her hair under the window. She had just laid down on the bed when she found that the comics had been updated.
The updated content was similar to what she had guessed. The perspective was locked on Lu Ze, and she didn't get involved in the plot unless Lu Ze appeared. Apart from the sudden update of a special story with her as the protagonist, there is nothing special.
After Ren Xiaoyue finished reading the main comic, she quickly browsed the extra chapter with her as the protagonist. At Xilu's urging, she did not have time to look at the forum, so she turned off the system screen and continued to wash up.
I didn’t expect that the part where the protagonist does not appear at all would also be included in the comics. I wonder what readers will think of this plot? This kind of seemingly cowardly behavior will probably be criticized by many people.
If she had known that this part would also appear in the comics, she would have found a legitimate reason to change the title. Forget it...it's too late to regret now. I'll just be more careful next time.
After changing into a maid outfit and becoming glamorous again, Ren Xiaoyue smoothed her hair and walked towards the room where Lu Ze and others were staying temporarily. Ren Xiaoyue had walked about two-thirds of the way when she saw an acquaintance not far ahead.
Berend was standing in her path. The boy was wearing formal attire, and his temperament was not as irritable as it was in school. He seemed much more mature. When Ren Xiaoyue passed by him, he stopped her.
"Hey, you, yes, you, do you know how to get to the nearest bathroom?"
Ren Xiaoyue paused, stopped and gave directions to Berend. She pointed for a long time, and Berend either said that he had been there before or that he didn't know how to get there. She wasted a lot of time and finally met a patrolling guard. She was able to escape by asking the guard to take Berend away.
Ren Xiaoyue continued walking towards her destination, seeming to be lost in thought.
It's amazing that I can meet Berend at this time.
In the original plot, Berend died in the first volume, and Bertram and Luzer went to prison together. When the royal capital was in turmoil, they were captured as the royal bloodline that was wandering outside.
After Ren Xiaoyue intervened, the principal did not die, and Lu Ze and others did not become wanted criminals. Bertram returned to the imperial capital earlier, so naturally, his bloodline was verified earlier.
This is also the reason why Bertram did not appear in the previous volume. The queen was critically ill and the imperial capital was bustling. As a descendant of a great noble family, he naturally could not run around at this time. What's more, in terms of blood relationship, he is suspected to be the descendant of the queen.
Theoretically, now that Bertram and Berend have been proven not to be the Queen's offspring, they can leave the palace. But it looked like they didn't leave immediately.
And she was not a fool. It was too obvious that Berend was trying to delay time.
Since Berend is stalling for time here...it seems that Bertram wants to talk to Lu Ze and the others alone about something. He wants to tell Lu Ze about the latest situation in the palace?
Before walking to Lu Ze's room, Ren Xiaoyue ran into Bertram head-on. The other person walked past her without even looking at her, as if he was in a righteous manner. Ren Xiaoyue pretended to know nothing and continued to be Lan Nuo's personal maid.
"Ms. Asthe, Mr. Luze, please stay here for a while. Only Mr. Alexander is needed for today's physical examination." Ren Xiaoyue said respectfully to the three of them.
This time, Aster and Luze didn't ask any questions. They let Xiaoyue leave easily. When leaving, Ren Xiaoyue still felt a little regretful.
One less reason to procrastinate.
She took Lan Nuo to the physical examination room. During the walk, Ren Xiaoyue took a long detour like flowing water.
She has to complete what she promised to others... No way, she doesn't have such high moral standards. The reason why I am willing to cooperate with the masked man is because this plot can be included in the comics.
After the queen was disguised as being critically ill, the villain organization summoned all the queen's bloodlines back to the capital in the name of looking for the queen's successor, including illegitimate children and those who had long left the royal family.
In the first half of the month, the villain organization used a more efficient method to screen supernatural items. After screening all the royal bloodlines still in the royal capital, the supernatural item broke down.
This directly led to the villain organization having to use more scientific methods, genetic testing. However, doing so not only reduces efficiency, but also gives people room for fraud.
The fool prince Albert is the one who cheated.
He learned from other sources that he had no blood relationship with the queen, and that among all the people present, the only one who was related to the queen was Alexander. He believed Atlas's lies and thought that the queen wanted to pass the throne to her own bloodline.
So, under the guidance of others, he came up with this method to forge the test results.
It's really like an old man hanging himself because he is tired of living.
Ren Xiaoyue walked around in a circle, but felt that the delay was not enough. When she was about to walk around again, Lan Nuo spoke.
"Miss Xi, today's journey is a bit long." Lan Nuo said.
Ren Xiaoyue paused for a moment. She looked at this handsome man. As an ordinary man, time had left traces on his face, but those traces did not detract from his appearance. Instead, they made him look more charming.
"Sorry to make you tired." Ren Xiaoyue said.
"That's not what I meant." Lan Nuo smiled. "Let's get straight to the point. Miss Xi, I saw you 20 years ago, by the side of His Majesty Noh, as his loyal soldier."
Here it comes, the original plot is here.
Ren Xiaoyue became more energetic.
Alexander, also known as Lanno, is the only descendant of Queen Noh. She is the descendant of Noh's brother's family. He inherited Noh's intelligence and character, but not Noh's almost crazy dedication.
During one of his trips, he met the love of his life, Asther's mother. For her, he left the royal family and changed his name. From then on, he changed from a cruel prince to a useless old man who could do nothing in Aster's eyes.
Lanno is a smart man. He had guessed that there was something fishy about the selection of the heir, and he negotiated with the guards and successfully let Aster's mother leave. The only thing he didn't expect was that Aster would come back at this time.
After bumping into the guard, he had no choice but to let Aster come with him.
If it was just Lannuo, he might not be so quick to win over others, but when his own children were involved, things were completely different.
Ren Xiaoyue pretended to be suddenly exposed and froze for a moment, then said calmly: "Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
Lan Nuo continued, "Don't worry, I'm not here to hinder you. I'm also worried about Her Majesty. She's not seriously ill, she just can't appear in front of people, am I right?"
"What are you doing..." Ren Xiaoyue blurted out, but stopped halfway through. She looked at Lan Nuo silently, her face obviously not looking good.
Lan Nuo took advantage of the victory and said, "I know you are looking for His Majesty. I can help you. All you need is to share the information you find with me."
Ren Xiaoyue was silent for a while before she replied, "How can you help me?"
"You spend nearly half of your time with me every day. I can definitely cover for you and let you do what you want to do." Lan Nuo said methodically, "For example, next time, if someone asks why we are late, I will cover for you. This shows my sincerity."
Lan Nuo finished speaking and did not urge her to answer. Ren Xiaoyue and Lan Nuo walked for a while until they were almost out of this deserted place. Then she said with determination, "Deal."
