"Go find out if there is any secret chamber or dungeon in this place!"
From this letter, it seems that Prince Le not only knows they’re looking for soone but has also been tracking their movents.
Yang Chuxia rubbed her brow and said, Yangyang stayed at Mu’s Clinic for several days, and no one ca to capture him, yet as soon as they entered the prefecture, sothing happened at Mu’s Clinic.
It appears Prince Le knew they were coming to Yunchuan and thus took the person away.
As for this place, it seed he knew they would search here, so he left a letter as a provocation.
He once again proved that unless he reveals himself, no one would be able to find him.
"Madam, there’s a chanism in the main house, going down leads to the dungeon."
"Is there anyone imprisoned inside?"
"It’s empty."
Yang Chuxia waved her hand, "Keep searching, he said soone was left here, so there must be."
After a while, Ye Liu ca, "Madam, there’s another dungeon in the side room."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia followed him inside.
After entering the side room and going down, they walked a long way without reaching the end of the dungeon. The way to the dungeon was as bright as daylight, with night pearls embedded on the walls.
"Such extravagance, embedding night pearls in a place like this." Yang Chuxia thought Baili Yan was worried sick for money, eager to confiscate corrupt officials for silver, yet here Prince Le builds a house in such a remote place using night pearls.
"Madam, when we leave, let’s take these night pearls, they’re worth a lot." Ye Liu suddenly said.
The few people following looked at each other, wondering why they felt a bit embarrassed.
"Is it easy to take them?"
"Easy, although they’re embedded, a few strokes with a knife and they’ll co out."
"Alright then!" Yang Chuxia turned around and said, "You two start from the beginning and collect the night pearls. Consider them a free gift from him, no reason to leave them behind."
"Yes!"
The two left had no choice but to go back.
And it so happened that one day when Prince Le returned to the courtyard, he found all the night pearls missing inside, and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, Yang Chuxia, can’t you be less greedy?
"Madam has arrived!"
Inside an iron cage-like cell lay a person in a gray kasaya, with not a single hair on his head. Seeing the letter, Yang Chuxia had suspicions, but didn’t expect it to be true.
This person was supposed to be buried in the imperial tomb— the Grand Emperor!
Upon closer look, he was emaciated, with sunken eyes, like soone addicted to drugs.
"Take him away!" Yang Chuxia glanced over and said, "After all, he carries the Baili na, he shouldn’t die in a place like this."
Yang Chuxia led the way out of the cage, but suddenly a voice called out from behind.
"What’s the matter?"
"Madam, this..."
Yang Chuxia turned back and t the open eyes of the person on the ground.
"Not dead?" Prince Le’s letter indicated it was a corpse; she thought he was dead.
"I, I pretended to be dead, he, he left here because of it." A fragnted, hoarse voice sounded, unpleasant to hear.
"I see." Yang Chuxia asked Ye Liu again, "How’s he? Is it serious?"
"Master’s pulse is very weak, other than that, I’m not skilled enough to tell."
"I won’t die." The Grand Emperor panted heavily, "As long as that beast is alive, I won’t die."
"Take him upstairs now."
Yang Chuxia didn’t say more; she had little interest in the feud between the father and son.
"Madam, what do we do now?" Ye Liu asked after they ascended.
