C67 (1/2)

A flight of stairs made of marble dropped from the top of the stage. Other than this long ladder, there were no other paths leading to the top of the stairs in the entire Cloud Locking Pavilion.

Huai Jin stepped onto the first step and raised her head to look at the sky. Cloud Locking Pavilion that stood high up in the clouds looked like a magnificent cage from afar.

Li Changde walked forward and lightly knocked on the door knocker. The Cloud Locking Pavilion's door creaked, and the heavy wooden door automatically opened behind.

He excitedly ran in front of a bookshelf and directly pulled out a book from within. His rough actions made even Li Changde, who was at the side, feel his heart ache.

Yuwen Fei shot him a glance, and said indifferently: ”This book of poems in the old relative's letter was personally promised to me by royal father. It will be mine sooner or later anyways, how about —”

Li Changde cursed inwardly. Ever since Yuwen Fei came back from the Luzhoushan, he frequently stole and gave the books from the palace's Book Collection Vault to Mr. Dong Li. This caused the emperor to be extremely angry.

However, with Yun Jing by his side, no matter how many people there were, they would be unable to stop him. In desperation, the Emperor moved some of his solitaries to the Cloud Locking Pavilion.

Later on, Yuwen Fei searched through the Compendium Pavilion, but was unable to find any good books. He was unable to find any traces of books in the palace for the past few years. At this moment, seeing these books, how could he bear with it? He directly stuffed the book of books containing Elder Xun's poems into his bosom and said, ”Why don't you just let me take it away.”

Li Changde watched helplessly as Yuwen Fei stuffed the book of poems into his pocket, his eyelids twitching non-stop as he shouted anxiously, ”Seventh Prince! ”It's better if we report this to His Majesty first!”

”Take it and report it. It's the same.”

Li Changde also could not really let him take out the thing he kept in his bosom.

After placing away the book of poems, Yuwen Fei started to wander in front of the other bookshelves, Li Changde was afraid that he would fall in love with something else, and would take it all away, so he quickly went forward to lure Yuwen Fei over and push him towards the bookshelf in the center.

After the sound of the door being opened, the bookcase automatically flipped over, leaving only one person on each side of the door.

After sending the two into the small door, Li Changde bowed and stood guard at the entrance.

”Why isn't Eunuch Li coming in?”

Huai Jin looked at Li Changde who was outside the small door, as if she had no intention of entering.

Li Changde dusted off the dust on his hands, then said with a smile: ”How can this servant enter here, this servant is standing guard at the door, there is naturally someone inside to guide the way for the two princesses.”

With that said, he pressed down on the mechanism, and the bookcase once again flipped over. The two small doors that were for passersby also disappeared.

”Please proceed forward.”

The moment the bookcase closed, a voice suddenly drifted over from the void. The two followed the voice's instructions and arrived at a small room. There was already a blue-clothed man sitting there, waiting for them.

”I have offended you!”
