Chapter 255 - Sleeping Powder (1/2)

Lin Jian asked curiously, ”What's with the secrecy? Is there a treasure in there?” He wondered why even the princes and princess aren't allowed to go in there. They could see how the place was heavily guarded --- two guards in front of the door and several guards kept rotating around there. They could even feel a few hidden guards that couldn't be seen with nȧkėd eyes. What was so important in there?

From the outside, it was just an ordinary palace and there was no special design or ornament that showed the importance of that place. The place where the prince and princesses stayed were even more grant than that place. There was no light there and it gave the eerie vibe to the onlookers.

If not for the guards, they would think that Xiao Fang was merely joking.

Xiao Fang nodded. ”Yes, there is. However, no one knows exactly what's in there...”

Yao Ying and Lin Jian looked at each other. They really wanted to know what's in there ah~! Yao Ying asked, ”Is there really no gossip about that place ah~?”

Xiao Fang shook her head, but then... she remembered something. ”It seems like there's a special small lake in there and it has a good healing power. Some said that it was made by a secret tribe, but no one is able to confirm whether it's the truth or not. Only those three people with the highest power who know about it,” Xiao Fang explained. ”That's just a rumor though... but I heard there's a temple in there...”

She saw the eyes of both men were shining brightly and she quickly reminded them, ”Don't be too greedy! There are a lot of experts guarding whatever in there... It's not worth it!”

Lin Jian tried to ease the atmosphere and said, ”We are only asking. This isn't our territory, so we won't make trouble for you or your family. Don't worry!”

After listening to Lin Jian's answer, Xiao Fang sighed in relief. Yao Ying was interested, however, he cared more about his surprise for now. Thus, he didn't bother to inquire more about that place. Lin Jian thought it was better for him to find information about the secret first and raid it later... They came in using Xiao Fang's family pass and he didn't want to involve the Left Prime Minister's household if something happened while he was trying to trespass into that place. His naughtiness flared up once again, probably because of the euphoria after successfully robbing the Han Emperor twice!

'Why don't they try it again?' He thought to himself. However, he kept the thought to himself.

When they were eating, Han Yi came back in a hurry. She told them that no royalties had come to the Crescent Lake, however, there was indeed a special guest that would stay here in a few days. This special guest was highly regarded by the Han Emperor himself, so it was best if they didn't provoke this person.

”Where does this person live? Is this person a man or a woman?” Xiao Fang asked. By knowing where the person lived, she would understand what kind of status this honored guest had.

”I heard that it's a man and he is currently staying in the 'Starlight Palace',” Han Yi answered.

Xiao Fang was quite surprised by Han Yi's answered and she thought that she had masked it well. However, the trio was able to perceive the change on her expression.

”Is there something wrong?” Yao Ling asked.

Xiao Fang sighed, knowing that nothing would escape their eyes. Even though she masked her expression well, they would still notice it anyway. ”It seems like the guest is personal guest of the Han Emperor...”

They understood this and it was better if they didn't entangle themselves with this dangerous person. They ate in silence... Despite of the wonderful scenery, they were indulged in their own thoughts about what they had just heard, so they didn't really pay attention to the lovely atmosphere.
