The guard was deathly pale; he didn't want to disturb the Prince and the Princess Consort, but the Treasure Pavilion was so important and such a treasured sword was lost. How could he not be frightened?
"Guard Commander, it's not good! The Treasure Pavilion was burgled, and treasures have been lost."
"What? A thief entered the Treasure Pavilion?"
"Yes!" The guard's face was ashen; this time he'd made a grave mistake, and he had no idea how the Prince would punish him.
Long Yi said nothing further and entered the Treasure Pavilion to inspect it. Indeed, it had been turned upside down, and a spot where treasures were kept was completely empty.
He turned his sharp gaze to the dejected guard behind him and sternly demanded, "Speak, what exactly happened?"
"I don't know what happened, it was just burgled." The guard dared not say that he'd dozed off. Once he awoke, the Treasure Pavilion had become this mess.
But even if he didn't say, Long Yi wasn't foolish and had already guessed.
