C95 Part2

....

There were hundreds of elite soldiers deployed to stare at the shop of the Linglong Pavilion around the two houses.

Murong Yu and Murong Ci led the people into the house, but didn't find the men in servant clothes there.

There was a dim light in the house and she had a bad feeling.

As expected, after they entered the underground world smoothly, when they arrived to the empty room, half of the stuff in it had disappeared.

The two rooms which were noisy previously, with those same gaming tables and screens were now empty and cold, like ancient tombs without people.

He assigned the elite soldiers to scatter around to search, and suddenly asked her:

"Your Highness, do you remember where's the stone room of the Young Master in Golden Clothes?"

Murong Ci shook her head,

"The young men in servant clothes blindfolded me when they took me there, and I can only find it based on the approximate location."

Murong Yu narrowed his black eyes slightly,

"Let's go and find it."

She tried hard to recall the wall that burst open when the young man in servants clothes led her to see the Young Master in Golden Clothes the first time she came.

She looked at the huge stone room, wondering from which wall they could enter that passage, and suddenly it occurred to her: the shelf!

She walked quickly over the shelf, and there were a lot of treasures on the shelf, which showed that there was a mechanism there like before.

Turning this to that, every single one of them was moved, trying to find the real mechanism.

Murong Yu also helped to find the mechanism.

The secret room where the Opium Poppy was placed opened, but the long tables were now empty, and not a single box of Opium Poppy was left.

The Young Master in Golden Clothes was indeed fast in transferring everything!

Finally, the other wall opened, and Murong Ci said with joy:

"It should be this way."

The two stepped on the passage together, following her memory, turning left, then right, then left and then left.

As expected, the stone chamber in her memory was right in front of them.

The stone room was still there, the treasures were also still there, but no one was there anymore.

They looked carefully in the stone room, hoping to find some clues of where they had gone to.

However, the Young Master in Golden Clothes left no clues, and they found nothing.

"This Jade sculpture is lifelike, but I can't see what it is, like a tiger and a leopard."

Murong Ci played with a blue Jade sculpture.

"This red and gold brave is not a real brave, but it looks very similar."

Murong Yu frowned.

"These precious treasures are extraordinary carvings.

They should be Royal Palace products or rare treasures that have been passed down for hundreds of years, but they are not in the style of our Northern Yan Kingdom."

"It is indeed a bit different from the treasures of our Northern Yan Kingdom.

If it is from a foreign country, then is the Young Master in Golden Clothes from either the Eastern Chu Kingdom, the Southern Yue Kingdom, or the Western Qin Kingdom?"

"It is certain that he's not a native of our Northern Yan Kingdom.

He used Opium Poppy to poison the Civil and Military Officials of our Northern Yan Kingdom.

This is a clear proof."

His deep eyes were stained with fire and red shadows, as if raging.

The two returned to the two rooms and their subordinates reported, but no one or anything suspicious was found.

Murong Ci suddenly remembered something,

"We couldn't find a clue here, then let's go check the shops along the street of the Linglong Pavilion."

They hurried to the shops, guarded by the elite soldiers, and it was dark inside.

The lanterns shined like the daylight, and every corner of the room was revealed.

She carefully inspected the inner hall, not letting go of any inch of it.

Murong Yu asked,

"Is there any discovery?"

"Don't make noise."

She said impatiently.

"What are you looking for?"

"I said don't make any noise."

He simply sat down and waited comfortably.

Suddenly, he saw a dark red in the opposite corner, so he walked over and picked it up from the ground.

What he held was a crimson flower and he asked,

"What do you think this is?"

Murong Ci took the flower and thought:

"This Prince has seen it in a medical book before... Let me think about it..."

"Think slowly."

"It seems to be Roselle...Yes, it is Roselle!"

She smiled happily.

"Zhiyan once sai that Roselle can only grow and bear fruit in the humid and hot areas of the south."

"Eastern Chu Kingdom and Southern Yue Kingdom both match to this, right?"

Murong Yu's eyes sharpened, and it seemed that the Young Master in Golden Clothes was either from Eastern Chu or Southern Yue.

"There are wild Roselle flowers in the southern hot and humid areas of the Eastern Chu and Southern Yue Kingdoms, as well as in the Imperial Capital.

Zhiyan mentioned it to me, where was it again?"

Murong Ci thought about it for a long time, and then smiled in surprise,

"I remembered that there are only a few in the Imperial Capital, and there is only one place."

He was slightly excited,

"Where is it?"

'If this Roselle flower was not brought from the Eastern Chu Kingdom or the Southern Yue Kingdom, then the only place where Roselle flowers are planted in the Imperial Capital may also be the place where the Young Master in Golden Clothes is currently hiding at, with his people of the Linglong Pavilion now!'

She excitedly said:

"Xuanyuetan, the Black-Moon Lake."
