After receiving the reminder from Prince Zhao, Chen Wangbei searched the study with extra care this time, repeatedly checking any spots that might conceal secret compartments or hidden rooms.
And in the end, he truly did find a clue.
After pushing aside a curio shelf, he tapped on the floor tiles with his fingers and discovered that two of them were actually hollow.
Chen Wangbei couldn't find a mechanism to open the tiles, and he couldn't be bothered to waste time looking for one. He simply resorted to brute force, prying up the two tiles, which were made of polished bluestone.
And just like that, the entrance to an underground secret chamber was revealed.
Chen Wangbei immediately sent someone to report this discovery to Prince Zhao.
Li Ji looked at Liu Ze, a faint, unreadable smile on his lips as he asked.
"I never would have guessed Mr. Liu had a penchant for building secret chambers in his study."
