Chapter 94 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (20)

“Also, increase the investigation on men. My good Empress disguised herself as a man. Hmph!”

“Your Majesty’s command shall be obeyed,” De Fu dared not defy the imperial decree.

But how did His Majesty know that the Empress was disguised as a man? De Fu couldn’t understand.

The palace was quiet, the curtains of the bed were swaying, and the darkness was pervasive, growing more and more intense. It was as if countless claws with sharp teeth were pulling him down.

He struggled, but in the end, he became a part of it.

This was what those people hoped for, wasn’t it?

Nie Suzhi rubbed his aching temple, feeling very uncomfortable.

Perhaps if he could have been like Bai Tang when he was young, he wouldn’t have become the monster he is now, neither human nor ghost.

***

Without Nie Suzhi’s disturbance, Bai Tang slept comfortably. When the first ray of sunlight shone in, Bai Tang quickly got up and began to disguise herself. Since she had been discovered, she would change her target this time. A young and strong man would not do, so she decided to disguise herself as an old man.

So, when Song Zhi and Wen Yueqing entered, they saw an old man with wrinkled face and white hair.

???

Song Zhi and Wen Yueqing looked at each other, very puzzled but remained vigilant. They slowly retreated to the door.

Song Zhi said sternly, “Who are you, old man?”

Bai Tang smiled and pulled her beard, “Sister Wen, Miss Song, it’s me, Bai Tang.”

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Song Zhi and Wen Yueqing looked at each other again, not daring to believe their eyes. They quickly closed the door and approached her.

“Sister Bai, why did you dress up like this?” Wen Yueqing stared angrily, wasn’t it just fine to just disguise as her husband?

Song Zhi touched Bai Tang’s dry hands and even her beard, exclaiming, “So realistic! Miss Bai, is there anything you can’t do?”

Bai Tang thought carefully before answering, “Let the little lady carry a baby in her belly.”

Wen Yueqing, “…”

Song Zhi, “…”

Wen Yueqing’s face turned slightly red. Bai Tang realized that the girl’s skin was still too thin. She needed to practice, for she would have to deal with men in the future, and she couldn’t be easily intimidated.

“Ahem, let’s not joke around,” Bai Tang suppressed her smile and said seriously, “Nie Suzhi found out that I was dressed as a man, so, sister Wen, you might have to play the role of a widow for a while.”

Song Zhi exclaimed, “Did he follow us? How did he find out?”

Miss Bai was extremely skilled in disguise technique. If she hadn’t revealed herself, Song Zhi wouldn’t have been able to tell that Bai Tang was a woman.

Wen Yueqing was also nervous. They had been on the run for a few days, and under Bai Tang’s leadership, everything had gone smoothly. How could the dog Emperor have found out that sister Bai was disguised as a man?

“It’s alright,” Bai Tang reassured, “He only knows that I’m disguised as a man, but he doesn’t know where we are or where we’re going.”

“That’s good,” Wen Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her head in respect and said, “I hope my father is well.”

Bai Tang felt a bit guilty. She had taken advantage of the beautiful woman again, letting others address her as father.

Song Zhi also bowed her head and called out, “Old Master, Madam.”

The three of them smiled at each other, feeling completely cheerful.

Bai Tang helped Wen Yueqing to disguise herself again, this time as a middle-aged woman. Song Zhi’s face had more freckles, making her even more inconspicuous.

Once everything was ready, they set out on the road again.

Thus, when the wanted poster was updated once again, Bai Tang only shrugged, expressing that she was already numb to it.

One could not view Nie Suzhi with a normal person’s mindset. Nie Suzhi was a pervert.

Wen Yueqing and Song Zhi watched as Bai Tang walked unsteadily, speaking unclearly, and with poor hearing. The expressions on their faces were quite rich.

Miss Bai was truly experienced in disguises. She could imagine pretending to be an old man and even change her voice. They didn’t know how Bai Tang was able to make her skin look so dry and wrinkled.
