Was Lila part of The Yellow Marguerite?
There was only one way to find the answer to that question.
Kel had to ask Lila herself.
The best way to get around the palace without being seen was through the secret tunnel, and, fortunately, the emperor had told her previously where it connected to his study. Seeing as Kel was in the room right next to the study, there should be an entrance to the passage from her side as well.
The biggest problem wasn't getting into the passage, though; it was where to go once she got in. She had no idea where Lila was being held. The lengthy passage would already be difficult enough to navigate with a destination in mind. How could she expect to find anything if she didn't know what she was looking for?
So first off, Kel had to find out where she needed to go.
