C58 Flos Lonicerae (1/2)
Hundred Flowers Restaurant was packed with people. It was filled with men who came here to have fun.
Nangong Lin brought his men and barged in. As soon as they arrived, they alarmed the brothel's bawd. The bawd led the strong men and aggressively rushed to the door.
When the old procuress saw that it was Nangong Lin, she was stunned on the spot.
It was all the fault of the servants that they had not reported clearly that someone had come to cause trouble, but no one had asked them to identify themselves.
”It's an honor for our Hundred Flowers Restaurant for Prince Lin to be here.” The bawd immediately welcomed him with a smile, her expression changing even faster than if she were flipping a book.
Nangong Lin only glanced at the old procuress. He had never been to such a place like this before. If it wasn't for Yan Xiaoxi, he probably wouldn't even have taken half a step into this place in his entire life.
The rouge smell was unpleasant to the nose and he hated it.
”Your Royal Highness, shall I find the best lady for you?” Although she had always loved money, she loved life even more. Everyone knew that Prince Lin had never set foot in a brothel nor sought after flowers, and all the ladies of the Southern Water Kingdom were praising him for being an exceptional man.
Today, Nangong Lin had made an exception and came to the brothel. The old procuress was not stupid and immediately felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
”This King is looking for someone.” Nangong Lin coldly replied.
This place was neither big nor small, it would still take some time to find Yan Xiaoxi.
The old procuress nodded her head. After hearing what Nangong Lin said, she felt a lot more at ease. She also wanted to know what had happened to her brothel. So Nangong Lin had come here for official business.
”Sure.” The old procuress continued to welcome him with a smile.
If it were any other official, they might sell themselves out. After being in the Southern Water Country for such a long time, the Hundred Flowers House had more or less grasped some tricks. She had many chancellor's information in her hands.
However, she could not afford to offend Nangong Lin.
”Search.” Nangong Lin looked at the butler and the butler immediately made a move.
Two hours later, everyone gathered and reported their results to Nangong Lin.
”Your Highness, I can't find any traces of the Princess.” the butler said.
”Reporting to Your Highness, we didn't find any wangfei.”
”Your Highness, I haven't seen an imperial concubine either.”
”Your Highness, your subordinate couldn't find the wangfei either.
”Yes!”
Everyone reported back in unison. They turned Hundred Flowers Tower upside down, both inside and out, yet they could not find Yan Xiaoxi's figure.
With this, everyone's gaze turned towards the servant who had just released the news.
The servant was also very helpless. He had seen the wangfei just now, how come he couldn't find her in such a short period of time?
Had the princess already left? This was the only answer that came to the servant's mind.
”Your Highness, even if I had the guts, I still wouldn't dare to lie to you.” The servant timidly knelt down, his heart full of regret.
He'd thought that he'd be rewarded if he found out where the princess was. Who would've thought that he'd be the one to bring disaster upon himself?
Nangong Lin looked at the trembling servant kneeling on the ground. He looked very scared. His eyes were filled with worry, but there were no signs of him lying.
If the servant was given a hundred guts, he probably wouldn't have the courage to lie to himself.
”Your Highness, could it be that the wangfei has left?” The steward thought, if the wangfei left from the Hundred Flowers Restaurant, then she must still be somewhere far away. If he brought his men to launch some moves, he might even be able to find the wangfei.
He could not imagine how dark the face of his prince would be if this continued without the whereabouts of his wangfei.
