When Bing Lanyue replied, she was still thinking about this strange matter. This was because most Longmen Escort Office communications were done using carrier pigeons.

Bing Lanyue called Huo Feng in and asked: "Huo Feng, what matters do Longmen Escort Office have that do not require pigeons to send messages, but rather servants?"

Huo Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Master, normally, people are not required to travel eight hundred kilometers in a hurry. Unless there is something important, you don't want others to find out.

Bing Lanyue finally understood.

He wrote another copy and placed it in a wooden box, giving it to Huo Feng to seal with fire paint.

In her reply, there was only one sentence: "The army will not accept orders from the outside world."

Broken Stream was originally a Dark Guard of the General's Estate. Along the way, he followed up on information and actually came to the vassal's territory, which showed that he must have grasped some important clues, and whether or not it was delivered by messenger pigeon or by humans, they were all in danger of being intercepted. That's why the words in the letter were vague.

Bing Lanyue's reply was to give Duan Liu the greatest authority. If news that he did not receive orders from the outer army were to reach Duan Liu's hands, Duan Liu would definitely understand and know what to do.

After Huo Feng sealed it with fire lacquer, she said: "Master, Duan Liu has been cautious, so he must have made some important discovery, you …"

"I know." Bing Lanyue interrupted.

Huo Feng had come from the Jun residence in the first place, so she had followed her because Monarch Moli transferred her to him. Whether she was truly loyal to him or not, Bing Lanyue did not know.

When she realised that everyone could potentially want her life, rather than believing in Huo Feng, she would rather believe in Broken Stream. Hence, she did not hand the secret letter over to Huo Feng, but instead kept it and prepared to burn it later.

"Hand the box over to your brother downstairs, then you can go back to your room to rest. After all, your injuries are not completely healed, and the weather is hot. Don't worry about your work."

"Yes." Huo Feng took her wooden box and left.

Bing Lanyue closed her eyes and thought carefully. Monarch Moli's land was a few thousand miles away from the capital. Even if she were to rush for eight hundred kilometers, she would still need to run for three to four days.

In ten days of time, Broken Flow had only lost news of Monarch Moli for ten days and he had already reached Monarch Moli's fief.

Bing Lanyue rubbed her nose, and for a moment, a shadow lingered in her heart.

"Mistress, His Majesty and the His Royal Highness King Yi have arrived." Meng Xia's voice sounded from outside the door, interrupting Bing Lanyue's train of thoughts.

Bing Lanyue's stomach was growling in hunger, once she heard this, she immediately cast the question in her mind aside. It was not as big as eating.

"OK, I got it. Serve the wine and dishes." After Bing Lanyue burned the secret letter in her bosom, she went downstairs.

The Emperor and Prince Yi were sitting in a corner, talking and laughing. Their expressions were normal, but seeing that they were awake, Bing Lanyue heaved a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yi, you have finally come. I am about to starve to death." Bing Lanyue laughed, rushed to the side of the table and sat down, then impatiently stuffed a few things into her stomach.

"Oh, there's something on at the Imperial Court today." Xuanyuan Jin pursed his lips.

Bing Lanyue stuffed a mouthful of food down her mouth, stretched her neck, and swallowed it down with difficulty, saying: "Your majesty, did Prince Yi tell you everything already?"

Xuanyuan Jin nodded his head: "Yes, you want to build a city?"

Bing Lanyue smiled mischievously: "In the capital, I do not have a sense of security. I know that even if I bought the land, I would not be able to build a city in private."

Xuanyuan Jin thought for a moment, then asked: "Last night, it was really someone from the Euphorbia Salicifolia Maxim who brought a person to the Prince Yi Palace to assassinate someone?"

Bing Lanyue curled her lips and said: "That's right, that's why I said, I don't have a sense of security. The city I want isn't big, it's more than enough for me to travel twenty kilometers."

Very small. Xuanyuan Jin nodded his head, and said: "It will probably require three million silver, which is not a small amount. Furthermore, at the capital and around the city, I have asked them to pay attention to the floods in the mountains and rivers with our Ministry of Works, and whether the Department of Revenue has any money, so …"

Bing Lanyue looked at the Prince Yi, and the Prince Yi continued: "Your Majesty, this subject's side can give you one million silver, and the Orchid Fragrance Pavilion can only take out this much silver."

Bing Lanyue shrugged her shoulders, and said: "Then let me take care of the rest."

Prince Yi and the emperor looked at her as if they were looking at a monster. They thought to themselves, the empire only has a income of less than 10 million taels per year, but Bing Lanyue alone is able to produce 2 million taels?

Bing Lanyue grinned, and said: "Heh heh, isn't high quality wine limited for sale now? However, the black market doesn't restrict us from buying. The price on the black market is very high, just the high quality liquor can have a net profit of five hundred thousand silver, as well as the escort offices and inns of other places. No matter what, we should be able to put out one million silver, and the remaining five hundred thousand silver isn't something we need urgently, just three months is enough for the high quality liquor on the black market to have a income of five hundred thousand silver. "

In fact, in front of the emperor of the empire, even Prince Yi felt that Bing Lanyue was being too bold.

It was an open and honorable scene!

Xuanyuan Jin said helplessly: "Seems like not only can you provide the Empire with national policy, you can also earn a lot of money. Our entire empire only earns ten million gold a year. However, wouldn't it be a bit extravagant for you to pay such a high price to build a city? "

Bing Lanyue shook her head fiercely: "I've spent my own money, what is there to be extravagant about?"

Xuanyuan Jin shook his head with a bitter smile, and said: "Alright then, you can do whatever you want to do. But Lan Yue, you can't stay there everyday, you can use that place as a temporary palace once the city is built."

Bing Lanyue raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Your Majesty, do you really want me to stay in the capital until I die of old age?"

Xuanyuan Jin said seriously: "Yes!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Prince Yi couldn't help but interrupt, "Your Majesty, last night's matter, do you want the justice courts to intervene?"

Xuanyuan Jin waved his hand: "Royal Uncle, regarding last night's matter, I will definitely give you an explanation. We have already given the secret order, Yin Jiutian found a few ropes on the walls of South City with Kowloon Military And Horse Division, and outside of the city, he also found a few corpses of black-clothed men. The killers used swords, and without any preparation, these corpses died on the spot."

"They were obviously silenced." Bing Lanyue spoke first.

"Mm. Yes, it was silenced." Xuanyuan Jin looked at Bing Lanyue strangely.

Bing Lanyue did not understand, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Xuanyuan Jin shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Nothing much, just a little strange."

"What's strange?"

"Oh, nothing." Xuanyuan Jin was evasive, his eyes dodging.

The Prince Yi sat silently at the side. Seeing that the Emperor did not wish to continue pursuing this issue, he interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, we naturally have the Dragon-guarding Race to investigate the matter regarding the assassin."

"Hahahaha, that's right." Xuanyuan Jin laughed: "Drink, drink."

Bing Lanyue rolled her eyes, there was nothing she couldn't say, and when she thought about the news she had just received, she felt that it tasted like she was chewing on wax as she ate her dishes, while thinking about the news regarding Broken Stream.

"Lan Yue, what are you thinking about?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.

Bing Lanyue shook her head and laughed: "Nothing, I am just thinking of building a city, there is no optimal place to build a city right now."

"It's no big deal. We will have the officials from Ministry of Works go and look around, and choose a better place." Xuanyuan Jin raised his cup and clinked it with Prince Yi's.

Prince Yi drained his cup and said: "Your Majesty, there are only three of us now. Do you have anything you would like to tell this subject?"

Xuanyuan Jin lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and then said: "Originally there is, but not now."

"Why?" The Prince Yi asked.

Bing Lanyue did not understand what they were playing at, her eyebrows knitted together slightly as though she was looking at a monkey. She looked at the emperor and then looked at the emperor.

Seeing Bing Lanyue's strange expression, Xuanyuan Jin slightly shrank his gaze and said: "There is a minister coming, the Prince Yi is plotting against us, adding the assassination attempt earlier, we have our suspicions, royal uncle, you have started to move, if you move, we can only move."

Bing Lanyue finally understood why Xuanyuan Jin wanted to bring the Prince Yi back to the capital and why he wanted to keep him under house arrest.

Xuanyuan Jin did not have a son, and if someone in the royal family wanted to usurp his position, the best way would be to kill all of Xuanyuan Jin's sons, and slowly hang him on. He was weak and sickly to begin with, and now, he would have to rely on medicine, and even arsenic for poison.

The Emperor did not have any descendants, so who else could it be other than the Prince Yi?

It was fortunate that Xuanyuan Jin was not an extremely headstrong person. Otherwise, he would probably have sent a messenger in front and his army in the back to flatten the territory of the Prince Yi.

Now that the Prince Yi had returned to the capital and all of his authority had been removed, what else could Xuanyuan Jin be worried about?

Today, when Prince Yi told Xuanyuan Jin that they were going to build a city, his heart had skipped a beat.

But after that, the Prince Yi said that it was Bing Lanyue's idea and invited him to Red Dust Inn, he finally stopped suspecting the Prince Yi.

Bing Lanyue also knew, that as a duke, Prince Yi must be miserable in his heart since he could not even protect his own woman.

"Your Majesty, I was the one who brought up the task of building the city. I feel that as a dignified capital city, it is impossible for there to be no Acropolis City around. Furthermore, I was annoyed by the assassination attempt, so I thought of building the city." Bing Lanyue righteously blocked off the path of everything on her body.

Xuanyuan Jin raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "I know, as long as you want to do it, I will support you."

"Why?" Bing Lanyue blinked her eyes.

"Because I love you. I will give you enough freedom." When Xuanyuan Jin said these words, the Prince Yi looked at the emperor in shock.

Because I love you, I will give you enough freedom.

Prince Yi never thought that his Majesty would actually... As a king, he shouldn't have such feelings. Emotions were weaknesses. Prince Yi sighed.

Bing Lanyue curled her lips and said: "Your Majesty, do you know what love is? Do you know what true love is? You have harem beauties. What about those women? What about the women who do nothing but wait for His Majesty to go from morning to night? How do you feel about them? "
