C88 Part1

....

After thinking of several options, it seemed that there was no possibility of escape.

Moreover, Murong Yu was now angry, and there was no room for bargaining.

However, Murong Ci definitely didn't want to have any physical contact with him or any ambiguous behavior.

"Prince Regent, you haven't told me how you entered the Linglong Pavilion yet."

She broke off his hand, but fortunately the question succeeded in arousing his interest, and he let her go.

It took so long for Rong Zhan to find out the bottom of the Linglong Pavilion, and it took so much effort to successfully gain the trust of the shopkeeper and let them in.

There was also the matter of the Jasper with a unique mark.

'That Jasper should have been the identity certificate issued by the Linglong Pavilion to regular customers.

Where did Rong Zhan get it?

So how did Murong Yu gain the trust of the shopkeeper?'

"What makes you think your people can find the Linglong Pavilion's secret activities, but this King can't find it?"

Murong Yu said coldly.

"Then what else did the Prince find out?"

She asked deliberately.

"The Linglong Pavilion is very mysterious. This King is becoming more and more interested in it."

There was a sense of coldness in his eyes.

"This Prince was about to leave the Linglong Pavilion, when those people dressed in servants clothes seemed to see something and prevented us from leaving.

Then they said the boss behind the scenes wanted to see me..."

"What kind of person is the boss behind the scenes?"

Murong Ci briefly described,

"He is about 20 years old, very mysterious, and he tried to test our identities. Fortunately, we were witty enough to get through."

Murong Yu sneered,

"Even so, the boss behind the scenes became suspicious and sent someone to kill you outside."

She spoke softly, but was extremely determined,

"I feel that the boss behind the scenes didn't want us dead."

"How can you say that for sure?"

"If he really wanted to kill us, he'd send a Master of Martial Arts.

Those men in black clothes were just ordinary."

"If this King hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the head of Your Highness would have been delivered to the boss behind the scenes."

She stared at him angrily, not wanting to waste any more arguing.

The truth was that at that time, when they were attacked, she had noticed that there were movements behind them, and she had guessed that Murong Yu was the one who was chasing them out, so that's why she didn't reveal her skills and fight back.

Murong Yu pressed his eyebrows slightly and thought:

"What's the purpose of the Linglong Pavilion in operating a casino and a prostitute underground?"

Murong Ci was also puzzled.

The deceased Master Li had been to the Linglong Pavilion recently, so was it the Linglong Pavilion the one who secretly sold him Opium Poppy?

However, she had seen with her own eyes that, apart from the gambling casino and the private rooms for kinky pleasures, there was no clue about Opium Poppy.

Besides, it wasn't clear whether Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao of the Military Weapon Supervisor had also been to the Linglong Pavilion to gamble and have fun, or for other purposes.

The more she thought about it, the more chaotic and unclear things became, and it constantly seemed that there was something about to come out, but that she was only one step away from it.

"After going around the Linglong Pavilion, what could Your Highness find out?"

He asked coldly.

"The people of the Dali Temple supervising the Qingyang Alley captured both the seller and the buyer of Opium Poppy the other day."

She simply said,

"The man who sold it would rather bite his tongue than confess anything about himself.

It seems he was a diehard.

Then this Prince and Zhiyan tracked down that the buyer was a servant of the rich and wealthy Li Family in the city, but we were still one step behind and Master Li was killed."

"How did he die?"

"The murderer hit him on the chest while he was distracted taking Opium Poppy and he was spacing out.

Later, when I interrogated the Li Family servant, he said that Master Li had been to the Linglong Pavilion and stayed in there for more than two hours."

"Indeed it's really weird to stay in the Linglong Pavilion for two hours to appreciate Jade."

Murong Yu's face was cold,

"This King still feels that the Linglong Pavilion's secret is more than this."

"This Prince feels so too."

Murong Ci's head was about to explode.

After a long silence, she suddenly remembered where the coachman would take them.

She looked out from the small window.

Fortunately, it was in the direction of the East Palace.

As soon as she turned around, she was shocked to find that she had fallen into a warm and heavy chest.

At the same time, something soft and warm seemed to be quickly wiped on her cheeks, and the hot breath was already permeating all around, like seducing someone's soul.

A pair of iron-like arms were stuck in circle around her waist tightly.

She became stiff and cold, as if she had fallen into an icy cellar, and at the same time she was heated by the hot chest, and her body temperature soared.

She struggled and resisted, doing everything possible to escape from this familiar embrace that burned like a fire.

Murong Yu's big palm was on the side of her face, and his thumb slowly rubbed her soft cheek.

The snow-colored skin immediately turned into an ambiguous pink, making it more attractive.

His every move was strong and domineering, never giving her room for opposition to protest.

His deep eyes burst out with a bit of coldness,

"Don't be reckless next time, otherwise, this King won't forgive you."

'Want to control me? Want to forgive me?'

Murong Ci was full of resentment, but what came out of her mouth was:

"I'll remember, you can let me go now."

As the carriage stopped slowly, Murong Yu tried to kiss her without hesitation, but she quickly avoided it and ran away from the carriage in a hurry, and never looked back.

He watched her gradually melt into the misty night, with his thin lips pulled slightly, and an imperceptible gentleness slowly overflowed.
