C74 Part1

....

Murong Ci was very angry,

"Are you cursing me to die?"

'Since he didn't let me intervene in the investigation, could it be that he was worried that I would find something unfavorable to him?'

Thinking of this, she made up her mind, and had to check the place for herself!

Murong Yu drank tea in a leisurely manner.

The dazzling sunlight gleamed on his snow-white face, like a piece of glass soaked with ice shining under the moonlight, and it was the most bright and pure light in this world.

After entering the city, Murong Yu got out of his carriage and went to the Royal Palace to handle government affairs.

Murong Ci did not go back to the East Palace, but went straight to the Dali Temple.

She told Shen Zhiyan what she had seen and heard that day.

Shen Zhiyan was shocked and said:

"Your Royal Highness suspects that Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao control the entire Military Supervisor Facility and are secretly selling weapons outside the Court?"

She nodded,

"The two Officials of the Account Room obeyed their orders.

This Prince guessed that Chief Zhou Huai was honest and loyal to the Court.

They must have killed him when he discovered that they had been illegally selling weapons."

"Your Royal Highness decided to track down the Military Supervisor Facility?"

Shen Zhiyan was horrified and disapproved,

"Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao dared to kill the Court Chief for their own benefit.

So what can Your Highness do?

This is too dangerous!

Your Highness must reconsider it."

"No matter how dangerous it is, this Prince must investigate it to the end!"

Murong Ci's bright eyes flashed with resolute cold light,

"The crime of smuggling weapons is extremely heinous.

If things go on like this, the Military Forces of our Northern Yan Kingdom will be severely damaged.

I must find clues to condemn those criminals and bring justice for Chief Zhou Huai!"

"Then I will accompany Your Highness."

He already knew that he couldn't persuade His Highness, but he had to sacrifice his life to protect His Highness,

"When is Your Highness planning to take action?"

"Your Martial Arts are not high enough!

You'll only cause trouble if you come along."

She smiled brightly,

"Don't worry, I'll plan this carefully and nothing dangerous will happen.

Besides, have you forgotten?

This Prince has been practicing Martial Arts for many years and I can protect myself."

"Your Royal Highness must be careful.

If there is any danger, immediately withdraw, and try another time."

Shen Zhiyan exhorted.

After leaving, Murong Ci went to the bamboo Shuyu Pavilion and left a message for Rong Zhan as usual.

The night came, and it was as dark as ink.

The moon was bright and the stars were twinkling faintly.

At this time, Murong Ci and Qin Ruo wore dark clothes and rode their horses to the Eastern Suburbs.

They dismounted two miles away from the Military Supervisor Facility and walked over.

Qin Ruo looked around with her eyes wide open, and said angrily:

"Why isn't Young Master Rong here yet?

Could it be he didn't get the message left by Your Highness in the Shuyu Pavilion?"

Murong Ci shook her head,

"Probably not.

After it gets dark, he wouldn't go to the Shuyu Pavilion anyway, and Shuyu Pavilion would send someone to deliver the message to the World's Greatest Manor.

That's unless Rong Zhan wasn't in the City today and hasn't returned yet."

"Why don't we come back another day?"

Qin Ruo suggested.

"Today is the best time."

Murong Ci explained,

"Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao wouldn't predict that we'd come again after coming at the Military Supervisor Facility today, and they'd have their guard off.

I must visit the Military Supervisor Facility tonight."

"But it would be too risky to go in with Your Highness and this servant only."

Qin Ruo said worriedly,

"Your Highness' safety is the top priority."

"Well, I'll be careful.

Go ahead and let's check the area first.

If there's any danger, we'll withdraw immediately."

Murong Ci took the lead.

Qin Ruo quickly followed, and secretly made up her mind:

'I'll fight by any means, in order to protect His Royal Highness!'
