The Unknown Beauty 147 The Drug 6

"How has no one seen Lady Lin yet?" said the Chu Emperor. "Everyone should have recognized her."

"She must be very skilled," said Hua Maoli. "Even I can't sense her among the many people the city."

The Chu Emperor was surprised to hear him say that. The Hua Clan is considered one of the powerfulest clan in history. A general who everyone had no hope in because everyone believed he only got that position because his father was the previous general but has helped save his empire from the enemy.

The woman he fell in love with was the first woman soldier who actually was the one who saved her entire empire from the enemy and only went undercover because she wanted to prevent her sickly father from being deported to war.

They are a legend and since then, the Hua Clan has been known to be very knowledgeable and powerful.

"What? Even Hua Maoli can't sense her?" said Guo Jinsong.

Guo Jinsong and Hua Maoli are the Chu Emperor's guards and trusty friends. When the Chu Empire has fallen, the Chu Emperor has gone on a journey to find his people and on his journey, he met these two.

"We just have to do it the old fashion way," said the Chu Emperor.

They are already in the city looking for Lin Yu Yan. They walked around together carefully scanning the area. The Chu Emperor was getting greeted by many of his citizens smiling and replying to their greets.

Then they notice the crowd in the middle of a busy street and can hear them making a scene.

"Wow, did you see that couple? They are so beautiful!" said a woman.

"They are. They are meant to be together!" said another one.

"Doesn't the lady seem familiar to you though?" said a man. "She reminds me of someone…"

"Now that you say that, she kinda does…" said another man.

"I know!" said a little kid. "She looks like that beautiful lady in that very important painting!"

There is a portrait of Lady Lin all over the city in reminder of their savior and is considered a law to not destroy her paintings.

"Huh? You mean… Lady Lin?" said a woman.

Everyone that heard that kid looked at each other realizing that the beautiful woman does look like Lady Lin.

"She does!" said a man.

"Where is this lady?" asked Hua Maoli. He tapped on the man's shoulder and asked him the question.

"They were up in that restaurant, General Hua," answered the man, a bit intimidated. Hua Maoli is the serious type so the group of people were startle by the sudden appearance of the general.

"They?" asked Guo Jinsong. He's more friendly so the group breathe a sigh of relief knowing someone nice was around.

"The lady is with a very handsome man," answered a woman.

"Why is there a crowd in the middle of the street?" said the Chu Emperor.

"Emperor!" said a surprised woman.

"Good day to you, Emperor. We heard news that the Ladies of the Quan family were showing off a pill so we came here to check it out," said another man.

"A medical pill? Why is everyone so interested in that?" said Guo Jinsong.

"Not just any medical pill, General Guo. A Legendary pill," said the same man. "I heard them talking about it and they said it was a Beauty pill."

"The what? The Legendary Beauty Pill, you said?" said the Chu Emperor in surprised.

"Yeah! I didn't believe it which is why I'm here and it really does exist," said the man.

They talk a little longer with the group of people and left to the restaurant to see if they can find Lin Yu Yan.

"Excuse me?" asked Guo Jinsong to an employee. "We want to know if we can speak to a lady and a man who entered this restaurant. They should be in the room with the window facing the market."

"Ah, they left," said the employee.

"Really?" said Guo Jinsong. "What were they wearing?"

"I am unable to tell you that," said the employee. "We are not allowed to say, sir."

"No worries," said the Chu Emperor. "Sorry for bothering you."

"It's not a problem, Chu Emperor," said the employee and bowed his head in respect and left to finish his work.

"I remember what they wore," said a behind them.

"You do? Will you tell us, Quan Wei-Kang?" asked the Guo Jinsong.

"Why do you want to know?" he said. Quan Wei-Kang is the second son of Minister Quan and is known to be very intelligent in the medical field.

"...what do you want?" said Guo JInsong.

"I want that list of ingredients of THAT pill," said Quan Wei-Kang.

"Wh" said Guo Jinsong but was interrupted by the Emperor.

"No deal," said The Chu Emperor. "Let's go." He waved his hand to gesture the two to go.

"Ah, yes," said Guo Jinsong confused why the Emperor disagreed so fast.

"It's your loss," said Quan Wei-Kang.

"Not really," said the Chu Emperor.

They walked away out of the restaurant to find them and Guo Jinsong was confused as to why didn't he just give it to him.

"Hoi-mo (Chu Emperor), why did you do that?" said Guo Jinsong. "We should have given it to him. No one was can make legendary pills anyway."

"Until now," said Hua Maoli, looking in the direction of the Quan sisters, still sitting around the beauty pill.

"Ah, right," said Guo Jinsong.

"If Lady Lin's daughter didn't want people to notice her, she would have never let them see her from the window. She probably change clothes and most likely be wearing masks to cover up her face," said the Chu Emperor.

"Ah, then we just have to find people who are wearing masks," said Guo Jinsong.

"Exactly."
