Chapter 138 - CLEARING THE BLUE DOOR (2/2)

”I agree,” Shen Ji Yun seconded.

Duan Yu rolled his eyes.  [Of course you do.]  ”Fine, let's go then.”

They all walked towards the courtyard dedicated to the crown prince.  Because of Shen Ji Yun's identity, not to mention Uriel's, they were easily able to go inside without much hindrance.  They were led by one of the servants to the garden at the back where the crown prince was.

The prince was sitting inside a pavilion, drinking tea.

”Is your investigation over?” he asked, not looking at them.

Luo Yan kneeled respectfully and told him everything they discovered.  From Yuexing Pavilion, to Lin Mo's conspiracy, and even to the second young miss' death.

The crown prince frowned when he heard all those things.  ”Is this true?”

He didn't seem to be asking Luo Yan, so he didn't answer.  Instead, it was Shen Ji Yun who did.

”It's true, Your Highness.  Lin Mo, his wife, and a minister from Wei, are now tied up in a courtyard.  Your Highness can go and talk to them anytime you want.”

”I see.” The crown prince's expression went back to normal.  Then he turned to Luo Yan.  ”It seems like I owe you an apology.”

”No, Your Highness.  Being able to prove my innocence is already enough,” Luo Yan said.

”If you have any request, I could grant it to you.  As a form of compensation.”

Luo Yan raised his head.  ”Then could I ask Your Highness to let me have Yuexing Pavilion?  I know some of the girls and even Madam Ru are connected to this conspiracy against the throne.  But most of the girls there are innocent.  Some of them are too young to even know what's happening.  So please, Your Highness, I hope you can grant me this request.”

That was definitely something the proud and skilled 'Shishi' would say.

The crown prince finally looked in his direction.  ”Alright, I will grant you this request.”

”Thank you, Your Highness.”

”Di Yi, bring Miss Shishi to an empty room to let her rest,” the crown prince ordered Shen Ji Yun.

Shen Ji Yun bowed and led Luo Yan out.  Of course, Uriel followed.

”That was a good performance,” Duan Yu commented.

”Well, the King of Arcadia did say to entertain him,” Luo Yan shrugged.  He turned to Shen Ji Yun and smiled happily.  ”Should we go out now, Brother YUN?”

Looking at the rabbit's smile, Shen Ji Yun couldn't help but also smile back.  ”Yes.”

He pressed the crescent moon mark at the back of his hand and entered the answers to all the Mysteries.  Then a notification appeared right after.
