1524 His Uniform Was Taken

“The city gates were open during dawn. It must not have been long since she left the city. Lil Qi, hurry up and send someone to get her back,” Ji’er said worriedly.

Even though she was angry and frustrated by Yaoyao running off without saying a word, Yaoyao was now alone in the Yan Kingdom, which made Ji’er very worried.

Chu Qi thought about this silently for a moment before suddenly saying, “I sent Beitang You out through the gates before dawn this morning. The gates were opened once during that time.”

Ji’er realized what he meant and her pretty eyes widened. “Are you saying that Yaoyao might have hidden inside Beitang You’s group and left the city with them?”

“It’s highly possible.” Chu Qi frowned. “I remember her being good at creating human skin masks, isn’t that right?”

Ji’er nodded. “That’s right. Grandmother taught us how to make human skin masks before, even Lu Xue learned it, but Lu Xue and I don’t have much talent in this department. Yaoyao was the only one who was good at it. The masks she created looked very realistic. All she needs is to glance at the person’s face and she could immediately make a mask identical to that person.” At this point, Ji’er was taken aback as realization dawned on her. “Are you saying that Yaoyao used that to blend into Beitang You’s group?”

“Yes. Otherwise, Beitang You would have noticed her. Even I did not notice anything odd when I sent them out of the city. Yaoyao must have used a human skin mask to disguise herself as someone close to Beitang You.” Chu Qi had just said this when a guard came rus.h.i.+ng over while bringing someone with him.

Chu Qi and Ji’er turned to look and found the man looking slightly familiar despite being a little disheveled.

“Are you the personal guard of Beitang You?” Chu Qi asked grimly.

The man had been freezing in the woodshed for an entire night. His guard uniform had been taken and all that was left on him was his thin undergarment. Fortunately for him, he was trained in martial arts skills and was not seriously hurt. However, it was still quite grueling for him to endure an entire night of cold. He rubbed his arms and soothed himself before saying, “Yes, I am.”

“What exactly happened? How did someone knock you unconscious in the woodshed?” Ji’er frowned as she asked.

“After the banquet last night, I escorted my master to his bedroom. I was on duty until after midnight when I detected a strange fragrance and I lost consciousness after that.” The guard said this with some embarra.s.sment. He was an imperial guard who served right by the side of His Majesty, yet he had such a low sense of alertness, which was unacceptable. It was lucky that his master was safe.

Ji’er immediately understood what happened when she heard this.

Yaoyao must have used coma-inducing medicine to knock the guard out and take his uniform. After that, she threw him into the woodshed and disguised herself as him. When morning came, she followed Beitang You out of the city gates.

Ji’er was furious and anxious at this thought.

Yaoyao never liked learning martial arts, but her mind was filled with quirky ideas that she never got to put to proper use. This time, she had chosen to disappear quietly right under Lil Qi and Ji’er’s noses.

“What should we do now?” Ji’er frowned and turned to ask Chu Qi worriedly.

“We should let her be. If she wants to have fun in the Yan Kingdom, we’ll let her enjoy herself there. If we were to drag her back here, she would just find another way to get there,” Chu Qi said grimly.

“But she is alone in a foreign country” Ji’er was still worried about it.

“Don’t worry. If she can sneak off from under our noses, it is proof of how smart she is. She won’t allow herself to get bullied out there.” Chu Qi consoled her gently. “If you still feel worried about her, I’ll write a letter to Beitang You and request for him to take care of Yaoyao on our behalf.”
