The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Ye Wanqing and a few others were walking together in the imperial city. At this time, the imperial city was bustling with people, and they didn't seem to react much to the news of someone's disappearance.

Jiang Xu held a folding fan in his hand and yawned lightly, his expression full of sleepiness.

"It's really strange. The crowds coming and going seem so lively, but there's really no sense of anxiety or tension about a missing girl. Could it be that the news hasn't spread yet? That shouldn't be the case. Looking at the nervous and anxious look on Patriarch Ning's face, it doesn't seem like it hasn't spread yet."

Ye Jingzhan looked around, his expression slightly gloomy, "That's true, but the head of the Ning family should have seen the emperor by now, and Ji Yufeng should know about it too."

"Hey sisters, look at this, so handsome, handsome men and beautiful women, I can't help it, one is as gentle as jade, one is handsome and devilish, one is righteous and awe-inspiring, and the only girl is so stunningly beautiful, ah ah ah!"

"No, don't you recognize them? The leader is Miss Ye Wanqing of the Ye family, and behind her are three exceptional men: her brother, her childhood sweetheart Prince Su, and her good friend the Young Master of the Jiang family. Oh, today is another day I'm just dying to be Ye Wanqing."

Jiang Xu suddenly opened the folding fan in his hand and turned into a cynical and showy person again. "Master, don't you think the four of us are too conspicuous?"

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly, her eyes revealing something ambiguous. "I want to be eye-catching. It would be even better if you could be even more flamboyant."

Jiang Xu blinked, his expression somewhat innocent. "Show-off? Master, how can I be called a show-off? Didn't you hear what they called me? I'm called 'handsome and evil'."

"Oh, please stop joking around. Don't think about these handsome guys and beautiful girls for now. Hurry up, Youlan Pavilion is about to open. If you don't go now, it will be gone. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"Yes, yes, sister, thank goodness you reminded me. Handsome guys, beautiful girls, none of them are as good as the little flower in Youlan Pavilion. Let's go, let's go quickly. If we go too late, we will have to wait in a long line."

In an instant, the crowd that had stopped on the street to watch Ye Wanqing and the others dispersed and all headed towards the same place.

Ye Wanqing and Su Shaohuai exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering slightly, both understanding what the other meant. She then looked at Ye Jingzhan beside her, who nodded in understanding and then headed towards the Youlan Pavilion mentioned by the crowd.

"Hey? Where are you going, Brother Ye?"

At this time, in the nearest teahouse, Ji Yufeng had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"Wan... Miss Ye, Prince Su, Young Master Jiang, long time no see."

Ji Yufeng was dressed in casual clothes. After spending some time studying state affairs, he was no longer as reckless as before. He was now more mature and had the awe-inspiring aura of an emperor.

Ji Yufeng looked a little anxious and was about to say something when he was stopped by Ye Wanqing beside him.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing Ye Wanqing like this, Ji Yufeng had to hide the anxiety in his eyes.

A moment later, Ye Jingzhan walked into the teahouse box with a strange look on his face.

"Little sister, Youlan Pavilion is a very normal flower shop that sells all kinds of flowers. I looked carefully and didn't find anything unusual."

Ye Jingzhan looked at Ji Yufeng, who was clearly beginning to look anxious, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this matter?"

Ji Yufeng's expression darkened slightly. "As for the girl's disappearance, I sent my personal guards to investigate from the very beginning. However, when she returned, they found nothing unusual. I thought her disappearance would cause panic among the people."

"In order to avoid social unrest, I deliberately acted cautiously and wanted to suppress this matter, but later I realized that there was no need to do so, because no one seemed to be interested in this matter at all. Some people even thought it was..."

Ye Wanqing raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued, following Ji Yufeng's words, "This is perfectly normal."

Ji Yufeng's eyes flickered slightly, "Yes."

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes, hiding the confusion in her eyes. "When was Youlan Pavilion built? Or rather, how much do you know about it?"

Ji Yufeng's expression darkened slightly. "A new shop has opened in the Imperial City that specializes in selling all kinds of flowers. Since there hasn't been one before, I specially sent secret guards to stake out the shop overnight, but they didn't find anything unusual, so I withdrew the secret guards."

"This Orchid Pavilion is very different from other shops. The most striking thing is that it only sells ten pots of flowers a day, and the flowers sold that day are all the same variety, with no option to choose. More importantly, the selection is only for women."

Jiang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, his expression a bit strange. "Oh? What kind of flower shop is this? There are so many rules, and only girls can choose the flowers. Under such circumstances, it's still packed with people every day, and there's not even enough for them to buy. What's going on? Are these flowers really that beautiful?"

Ye Wanqing's lips curled slightly. "Why don't we go and take a look and see? Maybe there really is something high-end there. If so, it's a great opportunity."

Youlan Pavilion

Ye Wanqing was wearing a bright crimson outer dress. Although she had taken a disguise pill that changed her body shape and appearance, her face was still beautiful and her looks were still peerless. She slowly walked into the Youlan Pavilion, seemingly calm and composed.

Inside the Youlan Pavilion, countless women were scrambling to grab the remaining pots of flowers, their expressions showing unprecedented tension and pleasure.

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes and watched the people frantically grabbing the flowers, with an uncertain look in her eyes.

The maid who was silently watching at the front desk saw Ye Wanqing and her eyes lit up. Ye Wanqing did not miss the surprise and greed flashing in her eyes.

"Welcome, welcome. This girl looks a little unfamiliar. Is this her first time here?"

Ye Wanqing nodded lightly. "Yes, this is my first time here, but it looks like there aren't many left today, and the girl in front of me still has so many. I might not have a chance to buy any."

"It's okay. If this is your first time here, we at Youlan Pavilion will give you a high-quality orchid for free to express our apology and gratitude."

Ye Wanqing's eyes sparkled with surprise. "Are you serious? Is it that extremely rare orchid flower that blooms with exceptional beauty and possesses special medicinal properties?"

The maid nodded slightly, but her eyes scanned Ye Wanqing up and down, and the satisfaction in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Ye Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she feigned excitement. "Really? That's fantastic. Thank you. I'll definitely come and support you next time."

It was not until the "Orchid" appeared before her eyes that Ye Wanqing's originally 50% doubt in her heart completely turned into 100%.

Because this is not a youlan flower at all, but a blood-thirsty flower that is extremely similar to a youlan flower, but has extremely opposite medicinal properties.
