Chapter 146 I want to visit the brothel at night!

After hearing Murong Che's speculation, Xue Youli's almond-shaped eyes widened and she was stunned on the spot.

She was able to know these things in advance because she had the golden finger of the Book of Heaven's Secrets, and Murong Che was able to guess that the missing child was in the brothel, which shows that he is quite smart and wise.

Even if Murong Ye loses to this man in the future, it won't be unfair.

"I think what the emperor said makes sense. To be on the safe side, should we send someone to investigate the brothel?"

[Although I cannot directly tell Murong Che that the missing children are all in the brothel, as long as we shorten the search area, we will definitely find the brothel. ]

Murong Che replied, "I sent people to the brothel street early in the morning to secretly track down the whereabouts of those children."

Even if Murong Ye hid his people well, so many children still had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate every day.

As long as they are alive, they will leave traces of life.

With Xuanming's alertness, he will definitely be able to find those children in the shortest time possible.

Xue Youli secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "I hope we can find them as soon as possible."

Murong Che picked up a stack of portraits and pushed them to the table. "When the court was in session today, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple sorted out the portraits of the missing children. Take a look."

"good."

Xue Youli picked up the portraits and looked through them one by one. The more he looked, the colder he felt.

The children in the portraits all have regular facial features, each more regular than the other.

She had a glimmer of hope in her heart before, but when she saw the portraits of the children, she was certain that Murong Ye had sinister intentions in secretly abducting these children.

It turns out that the world of novels is not all beautiful.

She had seen in real life that ambitious people would kidnap children to isolated islands in order to achieve their ulterior motives.

The children suffered torture on the island and were physically and mentally devastated.

History is always surprisingly similar.

Here, Xue Youli might have to witness the darkest and most cruel evil in the world again!

Murong Che looked at Xue Youli's increasingly ugly face, and reached out to gently hold her hand that was holding the portrait, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I am worried that those children may be in danger. We must find them quickly!"

Brothels are places where all kinds of people mix, and she was worried that the longer the child stayed there, the more harm he would suffer.

Knock knock knock!

Murong Che was about to reply to her when there was a knock on the door.

Then, Wang Defa respectfully walked in and informed the man, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Kang and Princess Kang wish to see you."

When Xue Youli heard this, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Why did A Yue and Murong Nan come to see Murong Che at the same time?

Could it be that there is something wrong with their relationship?

Seeing that Xue Youli was worried about her good sister, Murong Che let go of her hand and said to Wang Defa, "Let them in."

"yes."

Soon, Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue walked in one after another.

They stopped in front of the table and bowed to Murong Che, "Greetings to the Emperor."

As soon as Chu Xinyue came in, she saw Xue Youli there. While bowing, she gave her a subtle look: Ali, why are you here?

Xue Youli shook the stack of portraits in his hand: I came to see Murong Che for something important, why are you two here? You didn't just have a fight and came to see Murong Che for justice, did you?

Chu Xinyue's eyes widened: "Who do you think I am? I usually never quarrel with others. I never talk when I can solve a problem with my hands. We came to see the emperor for something very important!"

Murong Che glanced at the two people who were exchanging glances, then turned to look at Murong Nan, "Fifth brother, what do you want to see me for?"

Murong Nan turned his head and glanced at Chu Xinyue. When Chu Xinyue nodded, he said to Murong Che in a serious tone, "Royal brother, when I went to the entertainment hall to listen to music yesterday, I found something strange."

Looking for a pleasure house?

Weird thing?

Murong Che felt that what Murong Nan and his wife wanted to say might be the same thing they just discussed. "What's the weird thing? Tell me."

"This is what happened..."

In the past, Murong Nan loved to go to the Xianle Painting Boat to listen to music. Ever since the Xianle Painting Boat was closed down, and he has been busy with his wedding with Chu Xinyue, he has not been to such a place for a long time.

Before returning from Longshou Mountain, Murong Nan was chatting with a few playboys in the hunting ground and heard them mention the pleasure house.

After the chat, Murong Nan started thinking about it.

As soon as he returned to the capital, he sneaked into the brothel to listen to music.

In order to prevent Chu Xinyue from discovering anything, he didn't even bring his personal bodyguard Qingfeng with him.

Chu Xinyue was also feeling bored yesterday. She wandered around Prince Kang's Mansion but couldn't find Murong Nan, so she went to ask Qingfeng about it. As a result, Qingfeng accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

So Chu Xinyue changed into men's clothes and ran to the brothel to find Murong Nan. When Murong Nan saw her, he was so scared that he climbed out the window and ran into the backyard of the brothel.

Later, he took many detours and ended up somewhere unknown, when he faintly heard the sound of a child crying.

He was so frightened that he alarmed a thug in the backyard.

If Chu Xinyue hadn't appeared in time and taken him away, he might not have come back alive.

After listening to Murong Nan's story from yesterday, Xue Youli couldn't help but ask, "So, you were discovered by the thugs from the pleasure house?"

Chu Xinyue shook her head and said, "No, it was all thanks to my wit. I pulled him over the wall and then imitated the meow of a cat. The thug thought it was a wild cat making the noise and didn't suspect anything."

After she finished explaining to Xue Youli, she turned her head and cast her gaze towards Murong Che, "Your Majesty, we came to the palace together today because we felt something was wrong with the brothel. A brothel should be a place for people to have fun, but there are more than a dozen thugs patrolling back and forth in the backyard of the brothel. And there was a crying sound of a child there last night, which is really suspicious!"

Murong Nan immediately responded, "Brother, I heard that many children have gone missing in the capital recently. Could it be related to Xunhuanlou?"

Xue Youli looked at the serious expression on Murong Nan's face and suddenly felt that he was not that stupid.

He went to a brothel to listen to a song, and found something was wrong, so he immediately went to the palace to report to Murong Che. It can be seen that he is not the kind of playboy who is not presentable, but just a playboy.

After listening to what the couple said, Murong Che nodded and said, "The crying sound you heard yesterday was most likely made by the missing child. In the past few days, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have turned the entire capital upside down in order to find the missing child. They probably would never have thought that the thief who kidnapped the child would hide the child in a dusty place!"

Chu Xinyue immediately realized something. "The person behind the kidnapping of the children is not trying to train these children to be courtesans, and then let them take in clients and make money when they grow up, right?"

Xue Youli thought about Murong Nan's close relationship with Murong Ye, and some things were not convenient to say in front of him, so she replied vaguely, "They are almost the same target."

Chu Xinyue was a straightforward person. When she heard this, she was so angry that she yelled, "Fuck! Who on earth is this black-hearted, black-hearted, black-assed bastard who dares to target a child? If I catch him, I will beat him until his asshole is broken and his body is covered with wounds!"

"Cough!" Xue Youli glanced at the man beside her and coughed heavily, reminding Chu Xinyue to pay attention to her image as Princess Kang in front of the emperor.

Chu Xinyue realized what had happened belatedly and quickly shut up and lowered her head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost control of my emotions in front of you and was inappropriate!"

"It's okay. Princess Kang is a woman of temperament. I can understand your feelings." Murong Che also knew that with Murong Nan around, many things could not be said too directly.

If he turns around and goes to see Murong Ye and tells this matter in front of Murong Ye, it will alert the enemy.

Xue Youli saw Murong Che's concern, and with a turn of his eyes, he said to Chu Xinyue, "Ayue, ever since you got married, the Queen Mother has always been concerned about you and Prince Kang. Why don't you stay here tonight and go back tomorrow?"

After Chu Xinyue returned home, she had no other friends and was extremely bored, so she disguised herself as a man and went to a brothel.

On the surface, she went to look for Murong Nan, but in fact, she also wanted to visit the most famous brothel in the capital to broaden her horizons.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered the big secret hidden in the brothel.

At this moment, just by looking at Xue Youli's eyes, she knew that Xue Youli must have something to tell her in private, so she nodded and agreed immediately, "It just so happens that I miss the Queen Mother too, so I will stay in the palace tonight."

After saying that, she reached out and pulled Murong Nan's sleeve, "Prince, aren't there some gifts in our carriage that we bought yesterday? Go get them and give them to the Queen Mother first. Ah Li and I want to talk for a while."

"OK."

Murong Nan agreed immediately and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered the purpose of their entry into the palace. "But, aren't we entering the palace to look for the matter of the pleasure house?"

Xue Youli said quickly, "Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Kang. The clues you told A Yue are very important. The Emperor will definitely send someone to the pleasure house to find out what happened. However, in order to prevent any surprises, the four of us should not discuss this matter anymore after we leave Zicheng Palace."

Murong Nan immediately pursed his lips and acted as if he was keeping a secret. "Don't worry, I won't remember anything after I leave this door!"

As he said this, he turned around and bowed to Murong Che, "Brother Emperor, I will take my leave now and go to Ci Ning Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"good."

While the two brothers were talking, Xue Youli took Chu Xinyue aside and whispered a few words to her.

After Murong Nan left, Xue Youli looked up and said to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, I want to sneak out of the palace with Princess Qinghe tonight and explore the pleasure house at night!"
