Chapter 711: Chapter 705: The Woman Who Changes Her Appearance

Madam Lin looked at her and said calmly, "For such a small matter, Xiang Chun could fetch it for you; why must you go in person?"

Gu Youyou replied, "My medicine is delicate and cannot afford the slightest mistake. Last time, there must have been a mistake in the preparation, and Youyou almost didn’t recover. If it weren’t for Brother Yue Rujing, things could have been dire. I dare not entrust this task to another, and besides, the process is quite troublesome; the tools in the residence are not as good as those in Jisheng Hall."

Concerned about life-and-death matters, Madam Lin did not insist and relented, "Then fine, let Xiang Chun accompany you. Go early and return early. Your uncle has said that the remnants of Prince Three have been stirring again of late. It’s best if you don’t go out unless necessary; it would be troublesome if those murderers came looking for you again."

"Understood, Aunt!"

Youyou secretly rejoiced in her heart, obediently agreeing before smoothly leaving the residence.

But why were the remnants of Prince Three stirring again? A sense of panic flickered in her heart. Could it be that Jin Ziyuan was coming to Beijing once more?

When the carriage arrived at Jisheng Hall, Yue Rujing and Jin Zijin were already waiting in the back yard.

They had both applied disguises, and had she not been very familiar with them, she might have failed to recognize them at first glance.

Gu Youyou chuckled and said, "With such disguises, you do resemble the attendants from my Jisheng Hall."

Yue Rujing smiled and said, "Our disguise is indeed that of Jisheng Hall’s attendants, those who travel to the countryside to collect medicinal herbs."

Their reason was well thought out.

Looking at Jin Zijin, Gu Youyou asked with some concern, "Are you going as well, is everything all right?"

I heard their deranged master has come again.

Jin Zijin replied indifferently, "It’s fine, Yixi is also coming to serve. These past two days, Master has mistaken Yixi for me."

Gu Youyou: "..."

She was now somewhat curious; what on earth did this old man look like?

He was probably somewhat senile.

It’s not easy to live to a hundred years old, yet this centenarian is still able to travel between Qi Mountain and Beijing, a journey that takes four or five days by carriage.

Gu Youyou looked around and did not see Lin Qianqing, so she inquired, "Where is my cousin? Hasn’t she arrived yet?"

Yue Rujing pointed with her lips toward a room, saying, "She’s in the room changing clothes and applying makeup; you should change too."

By the time Lin Qianqing emerged, she was dressed in an attendant’s attire and had seemingly applied something to her face; her delicate white skin looked a lot rougher. At a quick glance, she truly resembled a thin and small labor hand.

Gu Youyou burst into laughter and said, "Who did this for you? I almost didn’t recognize you; the makeup is quite good." She had transformed a naturally charming young lady into the likeness of a laboring lad.

Lin Qianqing shook her head and said, "I don’t know; it was someone the Princely Heir brought." She smiled and added, "Quite a transformation, isn’t it? I almost didn’t dare recognize myself."

Gu Youyou nodded and gave a thumbs up.

She also entered the room, first changing into a set of ordinary attendant’s clothes, before going to another room for makeup.

The makeup artist was a young man who seemed unremarkable. He nodded slightly toward Gu Youyou and began his work without saying much to her.

Gu Youyou said, "As long as I don’t look like myself, it will be fine. Just don’t make it too ugly." Their makeup was too ugly.

The person replied, "Don’t worry, I won’t make you look too ugly."

The voice that came out was actually that of a woman, and it was a tender and pleasant one, at that. Gu Youyou was taken aback and suddenly turned around, exclaiming, "You’re a woman?"

The soft-voiced girl said, "Yes, Miss Gu, can you tell that I am a woman?"
