He searched everywhere but couldn't find the second half of the book, which made him so anxious that he scratched his head in frustration. Before going to Mu City, he visited almost every bookstore in Shengjing City, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find it.
Zhu Yu also said that medical books like these are most likely treasured in the homes of noble families, and are unlikely to be available in bookstores.
Just when he was feeling disheartened, Ruoling actually delivered it to him!
"How...how did you know I was looking for this medical book?" Lu Yuyan was so excited that he was almost incoherent, stroking the cover of the medical book with great affection.
Ruoling blinked her big eyes: "I didn't know you were looking for it. This medical book is in the imperial library. I thought you're a renowned physician, and besides fans, you must also like medical books, so I begged my father to give me this book. I brought it to you."
Lu Xiaoyun and the others exchanged knowing glances.
"What's wrong? Why are you all acting so strangely?" Ruoling looked at their expressions, which seemed odd.
Lu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "It's alright, eat quickly, and then we'll go to the Second Prince's residence."
The Second Prince's residence was heavily guarded, and everyone inside had been thrown into a death row cell.
During this period, due to the spring imperial examinations, the large number of rebels, and Zhu Dan's injury, there was no time to search and confiscate the Second Prince's residence, so it was delayed until today.
After finishing their meal, the group boarded a carriage and headed to the Second Prince's residence.
Zhu Yu naturally pulled Lu Xiaoyun into his very distinctive carriage.
Zhu Dan, Ruoling, and Lu Yuyan boarded his carriage.
The Second Prince's residence was not far from the Prince An's residence. After a quarter of an hour, everyone got out of the carriage and went inside.
Armored soldiers were moving things in and out. The boxes were not yet sealed; they would only be officially sealed after the two princes had inspected them.
The Second Prince's residence has a lot of things; they've already piled up into a small mountain in the courtyard.
But that's not all they're looking for.
Zhu Dan ordered his men to register and catalog the confiscated items, and then they went inside.
Since Zhu Heng was going to launch an uprising, he must have a secret room or similar place.
The once magnificent and opulent residence of the Second Prince is now quite desolate.
In just over ten days, the place was already a mess, with rubble and broken tiles scattered all over the ground. The wind blew, and the huge sycamore tree in the courtyard rustled, its leaves fluttering and swirling as they fell.
As you walk inside, there are overturned tables and chairs everywhere, screens lying on the ground, and even bloodstains on the ground. It seems that when they came to arrest people, some resisted and were killed on the spot.
Ruoling tugged at Zhu Yu in fear, "Miss Lu, what happened here? It's so scary!"
She hadn't been to her second brother's house often, but she had been there once or twice before, and she had never found it so frightening.
Zhu Yu glanced at her: "Yeah, it's a bit scary. Look at all that blood there, there must be more than one dead. We have to be careful, the ghost might just jump out from behind and pounce on you with a howl."
While saying frightening things, Zhu Yu also lunged at Ruoling with bared teeth and claws.
Ruoling was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly and screamed, trying to hide to the side.
Zhu Dan frowned slightly, protecting Ruoling. His fourth brother had actually frightened his little sister so much just because Ruoling called him "Miss Lu".
They're getting more and more shameless!
"Four..." Zhu Dan was also confused with anger. She took a deep breath and said, "Miss Lu, you must not be rude to the princess!"
Zhu Yu rolled his eyes at Zhu Dan and said to Ruoling, "I'm not making this up, especially the servants in the Second Prince's residence. Most of them were coerced by Zhu Heng, and there might be many wronged souls among them. Don't you find it eerie?"
Ruoling's face turned even paler, and she gripped Zhu Dan's clothes tightly.
Lu Yuyan also looked at Zhu Yu with displeasure. When did this person become so childish?
Zhu Dan and Lu Xiaoyun were in charge of searching the Second Prince's residence, so they naturally didn't have time to protect Princess Ruoling all the time, and that scoundrel Zhu Yu would scare her from time to time.
So Lu Yuyan said to Zhu Dan, "I will protect Princess Ruoling."
Of these people, only Ruoling was unaware of the complicated relationship between them.
Zhu Dan nodded and handed Ruoling to Lu Yuyan: "Thank you for your trouble."
Lu Yuyan held Ruoling's small hand and said, "Princess, don't be afraid. I will protect you and make sure no one dares to bully you." As he spoke, he glared at Zhu Yu.
Ruoling was quite frightened by Zhu Yu, and upon hearing this, she tightly hugged Lu Yuyan's arm.
The boy's arms were strong and warm to the touch, and Ruoling immediately relaxed.
Lu Yuyan hadn't realized anything yet, but Lu Xiaoyun had. Zhu Yu wasn't that naive. Although he was unhappy that Ruoling called him "Miss Lu," his main intention was to bring Yuyan and Ruoling together as soon as possible.
Ha, this young man, when did he learn to be a matchmaker?
Lu Yuyan and Ruoling went to the medicine storehouse, where they found a large quantity of the medicine that Lu Yuyan needed.
Zhu Heng really did hide it; it's fortunate that he came all the way from Mu City yesterday.
This herb is most susceptible to damage from direct sunlight. In April, the sun gets increasingly strong, especially these past few days, when the temperature has been very high.
If he had arrived a day later, and these soldiers had moved him to the courtyard, the effects of the medicine would have been completely lost in those two hours.
Lu Yuyan immediately ordered his men to pack the medicine into sealed boxes, and he planned to escort the batch of medicine to Mucheng the next day.
The epidemic situation there is urgent.
In Zhu Heng's study, the important letters had been sealed away and moved to the courtyard.
In most mansions, the secret rooms are either in the study or in the bedroom.
Lu Xiaoyun, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Dan split up to search for the mechanism.
The three of them knocked here and listened there, but couldn't find it for a long time.
Zhu Yu stared at the pen holder on the desk, crossed his arms, and studied it for a long time.
Lu Xiaoyun walked over: "What's wrong? Is something wrong? I already tried the pen holder, the mechanism isn't on it."
Zhu Yu shook his head and pointed to a pen inside, saying, "It's not the pen holder, but this pen is a bit strange."
Zhu Dan also came over and stood next to Lu Xiaoyun, looking at the pen holder: "That's right, there's something wrong with the pen. How could a pen stand upright inside the pen holder? It should usually lean against the edge of the pen holder."
Zhu Dan stepped forward and gently turned the pen. With a soft clicking sound, the bookshelf opposite him automatically parted to reveal the secret chamber inside.
The secret room wasn't large, but everything inside was incredibly valuable, and in the very center hung a bright yellow dragon robe!
The group was all taken aback; Zhu Heng was incredibly bold.
Zhu Dan carefully put the dragon robe into the box. It was one of the most important pieces of evidence to convict Zhu Heng of treason, and he needed to deliver it to his father, the emperor, in person.
After packing the boxes, Zhu Dan did not ask anyone else to help, but personally carried the boxes to his carriage.
However, once the dragon robe was removed, an exquisite box was revealed behind it.
Zhu Yu reached out and picked up the box, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed upon seeing what was inside.
However, a strange fragrance immediately followed, wafting out of the box and directly into Zhu Yu's nose.
Zhu Yu felt a buzzing in his head.
