Chapter 805: The Mute Maid.
Xiao Luo’s glare made the maid-in-waiting quiver. She immediately bowed her head.
He cleared his throat a few times and asked, “Do you know where the Queen lives?”
The maid-in-waiting was stunned. She looked up and her clear eyes stared at Xiao Luo again.
“What are you looking at, I’m asking you, do you know where the Queen lives?” Xiao Luo got impatient at this time. He found that the nerve reaction of the maid-in-waiting seemed to be half a beat slower than that of normal people.
The maid-in-waiting nodded heavily.
Xiao Luo was suspicious. “You… can’t talk?”
The maid-in-waiting blinked, showing an innocent expression again, then nodded and smiled.
She’s a mute?!
Xiao Luo frowned and looked at the petite and lovely maid-in-waiting, feeling like he was bullying her.
This time, he said in a gentle tone, “Take me there.”
The maid-in-waiting showed a confused look.
”
”
Xiao Luo took a deep breath and replied, “Take me to the Queen. Do you understand me now?”
The maid-in-waiting nodded, then turned and headed in one direction.
Seeing that she was not walking towards the palace, the location of the expert, who was at least a Martial Senior, Xiao Luo was quietly relieved. This would mean that the Queen and the Martial Senior expert were not the same person. As long as he could find the Queen and make her cry, wouldn’t her tears come easily?
The imperial palace was as complicated as the Forbidden City on Earth with countless buildings and deep alleys. It was easy to get lost when walking here.
Xiao Luo followed the maid-in-waiting and was vigilant the whole time. His nose could smell the sweet scent wafting from the maid-in-waiting. When they met a patrolling guard, Xiao Luo brought the maid-in-waiting into the air, avoiding the probe of the guard. They then came back to the ground after the guard left.
The guards patrolling in the palace were numerous and endless. At the end, Xiao Luo became impatient and said to the maid, “Which bedroom is the Queen’s? Just show me directly.”
They were on the top floor of a building at the moment. Looking around, they encountered a panoramic view of more than half the palace.
The maid-in-waiting nodded, and her clear eyes looked around. Finally, her eyes were fixed on a building not far away. She smiled at Xiao Luo and pointed her finger at it.
Xiao Luo immediately picked her up with one hand, flew past like lightning, and landed silently on the roof of the building, only to find that it was not some room at all, but a gate leading to inside and outside.
“The Queen lives beyond this gate?” Xiao Luo coldly asked.
The maid-in-waiting showed an apologetic smile. She took out rice paper and charcoal and wrote a few words, and showed them to Xiaoluo.
Xiao Luo saw neat and beautiful words written on the rice paper: There are too many buildings in the palace, and they are very similar. I mistook another building. I admit my mistake.
Admit your mistake?
Xiao Luo’s first thought was that the maid-in-waiting had lied. However, after giving it some thought, it was true that the palace was really big and there were many buildings. In addition, it was night and it was hard to see. The maid-in-waiting probably also did not have any experience looking at the palace from a bird eye’s view. As a result, it made it more difficult for her to recognize the landmark and identify the Queen’s bedroom.
“Take a closer look, and don’t give me any more mistakes!”
The maid-in-waiting nodded and her clear eyes carefully looked around. Sometimes her eyebrows would frown, sometimes it would stretch, sometimes she tilted her head while thinking and sometimes her eyes would flash in enlightenment. After a while, she finally pointed to a building.
Xiao Luo didn’t waste time and immediately picked her up and flew towards the building.
Falling on the roof of the building, he found that this was a martial arts training ground. At this moment, there were women with strong physiques grunting and roaring while doing their training; sowing their breasts that looked like men’s chest.
Xiao Luo rolled his eyes and said to the maid-in-waiting, “You made a mistake again. Am I right?”
The maid-in-waiting had a sorry look on her face. She wrote something and sincerely bowed to Xiao Luo, “I’m sorry!”.
Xiao Luo looked gloomy and looked away. He felt that using this maid-in-waiting to locate the whereabouts of the Queen’s room was simply a big mistake.
“Let’s go back to the ground. I know the way to the Queen’s bedroom. I won’t mistake it this time.” At this time, the maid-in-waiting wrote such a passage on rice paper and showed it to Xiao Luo.
Was it because she had never experienced overlooking the palace from a high altitude that she couldn’t recognize the bedroom of the Queen?
Xiao Luo was dubious. Ater a bit more thinking, he chose to believe this maid-in-waiting once again.
He pretended to be cruel and threatened, “If you make a mistake again, I will kill you. Do you understand?”
The maid-in-waiting opened her mouth slightly and then nodded with a smile. Her smile was pure and lovely and seemed to have the power to make people forget their troubles.
Is she not afraid of me at all?
Xiao Luo felt that his performance was a failure. Otherwise, the maid-in-waiting wouldn’t be this relaxed and calm. Was the threat not scary enough?
After falling back to the ground , the maid-in-waiting looked around the surrounding environment and smiled, and then pointed to Xiao Luo in the northeast direction.
“Since you recognize where it is, then lead the way, don’t smirk.” Xiao Luo warned.
The maid-in-waiting smiled and nodded, and led the way.
This time, she seemed to be heading in the correct directions. It was a building located in the northeast of the Imperial Palace called “Funing Hall”. There were many guards around. Judging from their aura, they were all experts at Martial Spirit level, while the stronger guards were at Martial King level.
Looks like this is it!
Xiao Luo climbed over the high wall with the maid-in-waiting. They avoided the eyes and ears of the guards and broke into “Funing Hall”. There were murals on the walls and the air was filled with a smell of red sandalwood.
The inner column of the hall was supported by many red giant columns, each of which was engraved with a phoenix circling around it. It was particularly beautiful.
In the sleeping hall, a cloud top sandalwood was used as a beam. The crystal jade wall was decorated with lamps and there were pearl curtains. The six-foot-wide agarwood bed had a silk cover embroidered with silver beads and begonia flowers.
Xiao Luo felt surreal. He had never been to the Forbidden City on Earth, and he had never seen these types of halls with his own eyes. He had only seen some of them in dramas. Now, seeing them with his own eyes, the degree of magnificence it brought was not inferior to that of the Palace Hall in the Forbidden City. He felt like a hillbilly the first time visiting the city.
