Chapter 126 Invitation
"They are just external possessions; I will never use them again."
Lu Yanxiu lowered his eyes, his tone leisurely, as if these treasures were worthless to him.
Upon hearing this, Su Fuying felt a surge of inexplicable sadness. She tried to move her lips, but ultimately said nothing.
"Make me a human skin mask." The man walked to the table, sat down, and spoke slowly and gracefully.
"Didn't you already have one? And it looks pretty good." Su Fuying asked, puzzled. After all, the man in front of her was wearing a human skin mask. Although the technique was a bit rough, it was hard to notice anything unusual without careful observation.
“I need a completely undetectable human skin mask.” The man’s gaze fell on Su Fuying, his voice deep and magnetic, as he slowly explained, “My current technology can’t fool anyone.”
It turned out that he had made the human skin mask himself! Su Fuying was surprised again; she had never imagined that one person could master so many skills at the same time.
"No problem. What kind of product would you like it to be?"
“Make it look like my face.” The man’s eyes were firm, as if he had already thought of the answer.
Su Fuying was taken aback. "Okay, take it off and let me see."
As a mask as thin as a cicada's wing slowly peeled off his face, the man's aloof and handsome features were gradually revealed to Su Fuying. His facial lines were clean and sharp, as if meticulously sculpted by a master sculptor, with every detail just right.
Especially the faint black mole adorning his high, straight nose added a touch of mystery.
When he lowers his eyes, you can see his thick, long eyelashes trembling gently, as if telling endless stories.
When he pursed his lips, his whole face looked aloof and indifferent, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.
However, it is precisely this unique quality that makes people fall in love with her.
His face was as sharp as if carved by a knife, yet it was also soft and delicate, perfectly flawless.
No matter which angle you look at him from, you can feel his unparalleled charm and majesty.
Such a face is truly a gift from heaven, leaving people in awe.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen this face, each time she saw it, it brought a completely new shock. At this moment, Su Fuying's gaze was once again drawn to it, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful, I could watch it over and over again!"
"When do you need it?" Su Fuying asked softly.
"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival," the man answered without hesitation.
Upon careful calculation, there is still enough time to complete this task.
She smiled and said to the man, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done on time. Consider this a small reward for your help today."
The man chuckled softly upon hearing this, "What have I done to help you today?"
"Wasn't His Majesty's visit to the Minister's residence at your behest?"
When the woman said this, her tone was not one of doubt, but of certainty.
The man slightly lifted his eyelids, pursed his lips, and looked at her with a faint smile on his lips.
"Why does the princess think it's me? Everyone knows that my relationship with His Majesty is like fire and water, so how could I possibly sway His Majesty?"
The woman withdrew her gaze, squinted, and tilted her head, saying, "What the world sees is not necessarily the truth."
Being too smart is not a good thing.
Lu Yanxiu spoke indifferently, his gaze dark.
The woman's gaze sharpened slightly, and she replied with a smile, "What, you guessed right?"
"Keep this to yourself."
The man left after saying a few words.
The woman stood there, watching his departing figure, pondering to herself, "The Regent is currently dead outside. If he were to suddenly come back to life, wouldn't that be a crime of deceiving the emperor?"
......
The autumn sun lingered in the sky, rippling with white clouds. A gentle breeze stirred the clouds, carrying them westward. Powerful air currents formed over the bare trees, whipping up large clumps of fallen leaves that chased each other along the street.
"Miss, Shadow Two delivered a box last night."
Early in the morning, Biluo had a large wooden box brought up and placed in the center of the courtyard.
Su Fu stepped forward to check, puzzled. Why was someone sending things again? Did this person have too much money to spend?
"open to take a look."
As the box was opened, a dazzling array of jewels came into view, along with exquisite silks at the bottom.
Su Fu was taken aback. "Did he say anything?"
"They said it was payment."
Why not take advantage of this opportunity? It'll save me from having to buy everything for the Mid-Autumn Festival feast myself.
"Alright, take it."
While directing the servants to carry the items into the storeroom, Biluo said to Su Fuying:
"By the way, Miss, the Grand Commandant's wife sent an invitation today, saying she would like to invite you to a gathering at her residence."
"The Grand Commandant's wife?"
Su Fuying stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with doubt. She thought she had misheard, since she and the Grand Commandant's wife had no connection whatsoever.
"Are you sure they're from the Grand Commandant's residence?"
Biluo took out an invitation from her bosom and handed it over. Su Fuying opened it and examined it; it was indeed the seal of the Grand Commandant's mansion.
When the carriage arrived in front of the Grand Commandant's mansion, Su Fuying was somewhat surprised to see that there wasn't even a single gatekeeper in front of the huge mansion gate.
Biluo knocked on the door for a while before a maid came out to open it. "You must be Princess Yongle."
"Please come in quickly."
As the maid entered the mansion, the scenery inside appeared somewhat desolate, and there were hardly any servants to be seen.
Just as the rumors said, although the Grand Commandant held a high position and wielded great power, he was not favored by the emperor.
"Madam, the princess has arrived."
Upon arriving at a courtyard, the maidservant respectfully reported inside.
With a creak, the door opened, and Madam Pei walked out, looking slightly haggard.
"You must be Princess Yongle."
The gentle voice brought a touch of warmth to my heart.
"Mrs. Pei."
The woman's voice was soft and weak. Madam Pei subconsciously looked up and was suddenly stunned.
"you......"
His gaze towards Su Fuying was filled with doubt and scrutiny. "You're the one from that day..."
She remembered seeing her somewhere before. She hadn't looked closely that day, but upon closer inspection today, she realized that this woman was clearly the one who had saved her that night.
Although she is dressed as a woman now, the look on her face is clearly that of the woman who dressed as a man that day.
"Mrs. Pei."
Before she could speak, Su Fuying interrupted her. She hadn't expected that Madam Pei would have such sharp eyes and recognize her at a glance.
In an instant, Madam Pei's expression relaxed, a smile appeared on her face, and she quickly walked over and affectionately took Su Fuying's arm.
"It's you! What a coincidence! Come in and have a seat."
Su Fuying was momentarily taken aback by her enthusiasm and didn't react. "Madam Pei, is there something important that you summoned my daughter here today?"
After all, Madam Pei did not know her identity before this, so she did not know what this meant.
