Chapter 358 The Beautiful Courtesan Attracts the King's Heart 3
"Girl, are you okay?"
The two maids outside the door began to urge them. Today was a big day for their Fengyue Tower, especially for Chu Yuan, and there must not be any mistakes.
"It's okay, come in."
After getting her permission, two maids came in from outside and started trying various clothes and jewelry on her, vowing to dress her up to be the most beautiful and charming one tonight.
Chu Yuan just sat there and let them do whatever they wanted. No one would ask for her opinion anyway.
At the same time, she was thinking about the performance tonight. As the courtesan of Fengyue Tower, she would have a grand appearance in front of everyone, and the talent the original owner had prepared was to play the piano.
Chu Yuan is proficient in playing the musical instrument, so this kind of performance is not difficult for her.
The difficulty lies in the fact that she doesn't know how to use the methods used by the courtesans to flirt and pose to attract customers.
Although the original owner had memories of these teachings, Chu Yuan had never done this kind of business before and felt a little ashamed.
She doesn't have much time to prepare, so she can only take things one step at a time.
As for her target tonight, Lu Zhengning, Chu Yuan was not prepared to attack him.
Firstly, she did not want to become a weapon in the hands of the prince and become a sharp blade that only knew how to kill people. Secondly, she had just arrived and had not yet figured out the current situation. Before that, she would not make a decision easily, let alone do anything that might make her regret.
Of course, she couldn't just expose her identity like that. After all, the original owner's brother was still in the hands of the prince's party. Chu Yuan would not act rashly before finding his whereabouts.
Time soon came to night, and a large group of people gathered outside Fengyue Tower, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the beauty of the courtesan.
"Girl, it's time. Mom wants you to go and get ready."
"Okay, come on."
Chu Yuan walked out of the room slowly, holding the zither. When he saw a middle-aged woman in bright clothes, he bowed slightly and said, "Mom."
"Hey~ Come on over, everyone. We're waiting for you."
"Yes." After saying hello, Chu Yuan continued to walk forward holding the zither, but was grabbed by the sleeve by the person next to him.
"What else do you want, Mom?"
"The man sitting in the middle wearing a moon-white robe is Mr. Lu who bought you tonight. You have to behave well later." As she spoke, she patted Chu Yuan's clothes with her handkerchief sprinkled with perfumed powder.
Chu Yuan's nose was a little itchy, and he frowned and took a few steps back: "I know, mom, I'll go over first."
It’s just playing the piano, Chu Yuan can do it with ease.
After the song, everyone in the audience was immersed in it, and then there was thunderous applause and cheers, and many people shouted for her to sing another song.
"I'm sorry for showing my ugliness."
Of course it was impossible to sing another song. As an oiran, the most important thing for her was to maintain her mystery. If these people were satisfied with her song all at once, they would never spend a fortune on her again.
So before Chu Yuan went on stage, her mother repeatedly told her not to show too much.
The beautiful piano music and graceful figure are enough to make these young men itch.
Of course, only the protagonist of tonight, Mr. Lu, can see her beautiful appearance and outstanding talent.
"Mr. Lu, this is the room. Our Miss Qingdai is waiting for you inside. Come in quickly."
Qingdai was the name given to the original owner by her mother after she came to Fengyue Tower. The girls in Fengyue Tower all have their own titles.
Here, no one cares about their surnames or names. They only distinguish their ranks based on the colors in their names. And Qing is the most honorable title besides purple, which is only used by nobles.
The original owner was sent to carry out this mission, so of course her appearance was beyond words. Among the bodies Chu Yuan had traveled through, her appearance was also one of the best.
Coupled with the talent that the original owner had been cultivated since childhood, she was more than qualified to play the role of an oiran.
Chu Yuan covered most of her face with a veil and sat quietly at the table waiting for her guests tonight. At the same time, she held a bag of psychedelic powder in her hand.
If this Mr. Lu did anything inappropriate towards her, Chu Yuan would knock him out without hesitation.
After all, they spent real money and didn’t come here to chat or talk.
However, to Chu Yuan's surprise, this Mr. Lu was really an eccentric. He had been sitting here talking about everything from piano music to poetry, and from poetry to songs. Even when Chu Yuan was a little tired and didn't want to deal with him anymore, this man still looked energetic.
"Mr. Lu, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early."
Please, go to sleep quickly. Do you really want to talk until dawn? Master, please stop talking.
Lu Zhengning cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Miss Qingdai, you may have misunderstood me. I came here today simply because I admire your piano skills. I have no other thoughts. Please don't mind, Miss Qingdai."
No...no way, this person really came here to chat and talk. I have to say, the Lu family is really rich, and this Mr. Lu really likes to listen to the piano!
Seeing Lu Zhengning's innocent look, Chu Yuan suddenly felt reluctant to attack him.
However, thinking about the original owner's brother whose life or death was uncertain, she hardened her heart and replaced the psychedelic powder in her hand with Turtle Breath Pills, and dissolved them in the tea in front of her while Lu Zhengning was not paying attention.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Since you like the zither so much, how about I play a piece for you?"
Knowing that he would have a chance to hear the sound of the zither that should only exist in heaven again, Lu Zhengning stood up excitedly and said, "Very good, very good."
"Then please have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."
At this moment, Lu Zhengning couldn't think too much in his mind. He took the tea from Chu Yuan's hand with both hands and drank it all: "Ms. Qingdai, let's start... "
With a thud, Lu Zhengning fell to the ground while speaking.
At this moment, Chu Yuan's piano music sounded, covering up the strange noise and not arousing anyone's suspicion.
After the song ended, Chu Yuan imitated Lu Zhengning's voice and said, "Not bad, not bad. Miss Qingdai's piano skills are superb."
As she spoke, the dagger in her hand had already stabbed into Lu Zhengning's heart and lungs, making it look like the man was seriously injured and dead.
After doing all this, she used secret methods to send a message to the leader, asking him to send someone to deal with the body.
At the same time, she took off her heavy clothes and jewelry, changed into night clothes, and disappeared into the night. Now that the mission was completed, she no longer needed to play the role of the courtesan.
She returned to the Dark Guard Camp along the route in the original owner's memory and personally reported the completion of the mission to the leader.
"Very good, you have done a great job. Once the mission is completed, the master will definitely reward you greatly. Just go back and wait."
"Thank you, chief."
