- Royal Palace - Study Room -

The small mountain of memorial was finally finished reviewing, and Murong Yu leaned on the back of his chair, with his eyes closed slightly, pinching the bridge of his nose.

After a while, he stood up and walked out, but at this moment a black shadow floated in, like a ghost.

"Do you have something to report?"

Murong Yu turned around and walked a few steps into the Hall.

"Yes."

The Ghosh Guard closed the door of the Main Hall and turned around to report,

"Reporting to the Prince, the death of Lord Zhuang, a member of the Ministry of Engineering, and Lord Gan, the Ministry of Avenue, are strange."

"Did they die atrociously?"

Murong Yu's voice sank.

"No. According to Master Shen's inspection, it should be a poisonous death."

Ghost Guard Ying replied with his head bowed.

"What kind of poison? Who poisoned them?"

"Master Shen has not found out the real culprit.

This subordinate has read the autopsy booklet of the Dali Temple, and the deaths of the two Lords recorded on it are similar to the deaths of the poisonous deaths caused by an overdose of Opium Poppy."

Murong Yu suddenly turned around, with his eyes suddenly cold,

"Really?"

The Ghost Guard said solemnly:

"No mistakes."

Murong Yu believed in his Ghost Guard's judgment.

A few years ago, when they disguised themselves and sneaked into the Southern Yue Kingdom, they saw a person who was poisoned and killed by an overdose of Opium Poppy.

Although many years have passed, the death of that person was deeply imprinted in their minds.

'But I didn't expect that there would be Court Officials in our Country who have smoked Opium Poppy!'

"His Royal Highness and Master Shen should have found out the real cause of their death."

Ghost Guard Wuying said again.

"They have found out that the two deceased died because of Opium Poppy?"

Murong Yu asked repeatedly.

"Yes."

Ghost Guard Wuying replied,

"They have been to the Imperial Hospital and talked with Envoy Shen."

"Retreat."

Murong Yu's black eyes condensed coldly.

'Opium Poppy actually poisoned two of our Court Officials!

And I l didn't even notice it!

Actions must be taken before more people are harmed any further...'

He strode out heading to the East Palace.

'Even though the countries have expressly banned the cultivation of Opium Poppy, it has been flowing into the Capital of the Northern Yan Kingdom and has even endangered two Officials of our Capital.

This is not a simple matter!'

....

Murong Ci returned to the East Palace, ate a meal, took a shower and changed clothes, but she was still hesitating whether to go to see Murong Yu, and whether to tell him about the Opium Poppy.

Although this incident was only emerging now, and there was no proof that it was developing into a bigger case, two Court Officials had already died...

She couldn't tell whether this was going to grow bigger or not but she knew that this matter had to be stopped, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable, but with no clue for the time being, she didn't know how to trace it.

She leaned lazily on the chaise couch, sometimes sighed, sometimes turned over with frowning, sometimes closed her eyes and reopened them repeatedly.

She really couldn't make up her mind.

Ruyi said:

"Your Highness, what are you so concerned about?"

"You don't understand...You can't help me even if I said it."

Murong Ci said lazily.

"It's getting late, so it's better to eat a meal. How about thinking about it when your stomach is full?"

"Didn't I just eat?

This Prince is not hungry."

Murong Ci turned around irritably and lay down,

"You get out first, and leave me alone."

Ruyi withdrew quietly and went to the dining room to see if the mung bean soup was ready.

The footsteps sounded very lightly.

Murong Yu was standing at the entrance of the Sleeping Hall.

At this time, the sky outside appeared to be of a strange dark blue.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the last ray of red sunset was burnt into the western sky.

The light in the Sleeping Hall was dim, and the light from outside was about to fade away, shining brightly like a beautiful golden treasure.

A figure that resembled both a male and a female was lying on her side on the chaise couch with her back facing him.

The curves were graceful and exquisite, and it was intriguing.

She was only wearing a silky thin moon white robe, like a white cloud softly covering her.

The robe was a little loose, with one side of the scented shoulders exposed, and the drooping black hair was like the best black satin.

The Jade-colored scented shoulders were more delicate and smooth than anything else, and its brilliance was bright and sultry.

Murong Ci woke up from the temporary daze, hearing footsteps not like Ruyi's, nor Qin Ruo's...

She suddenly turned over and was shocked when she saw the handsome face of the visitor!
