Within the small courtyard, moonlight shone down, and the entire small courtyard seemed to be covered with a white veil. The breeze was warm, Bing Lanyue held her cheeks and asked Mei Niang: "Mei Niang, how did you get to know His Majesty?"
Everything was under her control. Bing Lanyue blew in the breeze and felt relaxed, eating a small piece of dessert as she gestured to the stool at the side for Mei Niang to sit.
Although he didn't know much about her, he did understand that Bing Lanyue treated her friends with the warmth of spring. As for treating her enemies, he didn't know yet.
Mei Niang hesitated for a moment, then sat down, and said respectfully: "Reporting to Big Miss …"
"We're friends, aren't we? You can call me by my name. " Before Mei Niang could finish, she was interrupted by Bing Lanyue.
"Yes, Miss Bing Ling, I am a dust woman. Her Majesty followed the Prince Yi to visit that day. Mei Niang lowered her head and smiled. A hint of sweetness flowed down the corner of her mouth, and her eyes seemed to be a little blurred.
Prince Yi?
Bing Lanyue hatefully placed a piece of cake in her mouth and chewed it, her neck held high as she swallowed it. That scene was like a wolf or tiger, and Qing Qiu had just happened to see it.
Qing Qiu took advantage of the young miss finishing one mouthful of dessert and just as she was about to take the second piece, she hurried over and said: "Eldest young miss, Ru Zui has sent word that everything is under control."
Mei Niang was a little confused. What control? Control what?
"Come, come, come. You also came to eat something. You've been busy for so long, are you hungry?" Bing Lanyue indicated with her hand the pastries in front of him.
"No, no, no, young miss, I'm not hungry." Qing Qiu said respectfully.
Bing Lanyue said in an annoyed tone, "If I tell you to eat, then eat quickly. After eating, I still need you to help me do something."
Bing Lanyue looked left and right, then took out a piece of paper from her bosom and passed it to Qing Qiu. "Tomorrow morning, you will go to Orchid Fragrance Pavilion and give this piece of paper to Prince Yi, then bring the thing back."
"Yes." Qing Qiu held the pastries in one hand and the paper in the other.
Bing Lanyue rubbed her eyes and yawned: "I'm so sleepy! Mei Niang, you should go rest early too!? "
Mei Niang smiled and replied, "Alright." She turned around and left her room with Qing Qiu.
Deep into the night, the General's Estate was completely silent, and even the entire city seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber.
But few seem to be able to sleep.
Inside the Palace of Tzu Ning, the red candles flickered. The empress dowager looked at the emperor by her side, feeling a little exhausted.
The empress dowager sighed, "My son, the tides have turned. I'm afraid that my Great Ling Dynasty won't be able to hold out for long."
When the emperor heard this, his legs trembled. He formed a fist to cover his mouth and coughed a few times in pain.
The empress dowager said with a pained heart, "There is Qiuyun Nation on the outside, and there is also Jun Family on the inside. Jin'er, even if your royal father were to be alive, I am afraid he would be unable to do anything. "
"Muhou." Emperor Xuanyuan's face trembled, and a hint of excitement appeared on his pale face. He said, "Imperial Mother, how is Jin'er right now?"
"It's good that we can keep our lives. Jin'er, if that day really comes, whether it's your uncle or your uncle, will they let us go?" Her Majesty's voice was filled with fatigue.
With their Great Ling Dynasty at such a stage, it would be hard to return. With such a huge mountain, there shouldn't be any place for them to stay.
Xuanyuan Jin's eyes lit up, he was excited and said: "If there is a Sky Shattering Cannon, maybe..."
"My son!" Don't even think about that! " The empress dowager could not bear to see her weak son standing in front of her, so she closed her eyes. After a long time, she said, "Go, go to Imperial Concubine Li's side tonight."
"Yes." Xuanyuan Jin stepped back.
The palace fell into silence once more. Only the empress dowager remained, sitting behind a table and covering her head with her hands, as if she had a headache.
Early in the morning, within the General's Estate, Qing Qiu had already led a few people carrying large and small bags over to the small courtyard.
Bing Lanyue smacked her lips as she reminisced about the pastries from the night before, and spent another half an hour on the bed. Only then did she unwillingly get up from her bed.
She looked at the five of them, who did not even dare to breathe loudly, and said, "Please keep an eye out for anyone."
The five of them nodded, but did not leave immediately.
"What's wrong?" Bing Lanyue asked curiously.
The one who was the leader of the five said, "Master, your subordinate's accusation is to protect you. Please don't address us like this in the future."
Bing Lanyue frowned slightly, and said: "Behind you all, even the concealing General's Estate is easily captured. Your martial arts are so high, for you all to bring up my guard here is truly a waste of talent, if you don't want to do so, you should do so as well …"
"This subordinate would not dare!" All five of them knelt down on one knee at the same time.
Bing Lanyue was a little confused, and asked: "Then you all …?"
The man in the lead lowered his head and said, "Master, our lives are master's, so I will do everything I can to instruct you. I just hope that you don't have to be so polite anymore."
Bing Lanyue was startled. As the flower of her homeland under the twenty-first century, she was civilized and well-mannered, she had never been able to point fingers and point fingers at others. He was not used to it, but she was also not used to it.
She looked at the few people who were still kneeling on the ground, and an idea came to her mind. She seemed to have a plan, so she asked, "What is your name?"
"Ye Lang." Ye Lang lowered his head and asked.
Bing Lanyue made a gesture of surrender and said: "Alright, then don't address me as mistress anymore, how about you call me miss just like Qing Qiu. Ye Lang, I will remember this, don't you have ten people? I have something important to leave to you all. Now, keep a close watch on the surroundings and even if the Emperor comes, you all must stop him. "
"Yes!" "Young miss!" Ye Lang was extremely excited as he retreated.
Bing Lanyue was a little impressed with the fact that Monarch Moli, whose eyebrows were not eyebrows, nose was not nose, yet was able to train her subordinates to such an extent.
After thinking for a moment, she squatted down and untied the large and small bag that Qing Qiu had given her.
Mei Niang walked over with light footsteps, but was stopped by Qing Qiu who was standing at the side.
Mei Niang watched as Bing Lanyue fiddled with something, and was confused: "Young miss, what are you doing?"
"As for the Matriarch, I don't plan on dancing anymore. What's so special about singing and dancing? Hehe, I'm going to make some extraordinary things." Bing Lanyue said proudly, "What's so special about the Sky Shattering Cannon? This thing can fly in the sky and then... "Wow, that's called a beauty!"
Mei Niang frowned, then stood to the side and stared straight at Bing Lanyue.
For the entire day, aside from resting halfway, Bing Lanyue painted and wrote. After a whole day, Bing Lanyue finally finished writing and painting, and wrapped a bunch of papers around something as they were tied together. Then, she made Qing Qiu keep them well.
Bing Lanyue smiled and patted the black powder on her hands: "Stop working, Qing Qiu, you must keep it well. If we open a shop in the future, this thing can make a lot of money."
At the same time, Madam Lin was also not idle either. She closely monitored Bing Lanyue's courtyard within the General's Estate. After a day had passed, there were still no movements from inside the courtyard. Madam Lin was still a little worried.
The servant girl beside her was trembling with fear, afraid that if she coughed, she would be sold to the flower street by the Madam Lin. However, Ru Zui was looking at the servants proudly.
"Ru Xin..." The Madam Lin seemed to have forgotten that she had already sold Ru Xin out, and subconsciously shouted Ru Xin's name.
Ru Zui frowned, and smiled: "Madam, what orders do you have?"
Madam Lin finally reacted, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that there's an envoy from Qiuyun Nation?"
She scratched the back of her head in distress. Madam Lin suddenly realised and passed a jade plate along with a letter to Ru Zui, saying: "Take this jade plate out of the house, and deliver this letter to the Minister of Public Relations' Yun Family."
Madam Lin's tone of voice was extremely cold, causing Ru Zui's heart to turn cold as well. She spied on her, and her eyes emitted an intense killing intent.
"Yes." Ru Zui received it with both hands.
Madam Lin looked at Ru Zui's disappearing figure, her mouth revealing a pleased smile, and thought: Bing Lanyue, I will definitely make this slut pay with her life!?
The strange atmosphere in the capital enveloped all the various families. The number of soldiers and officials on the streets of the city had somehow doubled, which made the people feel that something was amiss.
However, she acted like nothing happened, eating, sleeping and eating, rarely going out. Even if she went out, she would go to the front of the shop to see if there was anything suitable for her to do.
That day's Sky Tremor Bomb even attracted the attention of the Qiuyun Nation hidden within the capital. After the Qiuyun Nation won the battle, they originally wanted to seize the opportunity and give chase, but they abruptly stopped halfway.
"Eldest Miss, what do you want to eat today?" Qing Qiu bared her teeth as she asked with a smile.
Another day had passed, and he had not copied the Diamond Sutra for quite some time now. Bing Lanyue squinted at Clear Autumn and asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
Qing Qiu nodded. The servants' food was naturally different from that of the eldest miss. Otherwise, how would they serve her?
"Have you gone silly? I didn't eat anything. Today, let's enter the palace and leave our stomachs for the palace to eat delicious food." Bing Lanyue laughed and then began to comb her hair carefully.
If he entered the palace today, he might be able to see the His Royal Highness King Yi.
Bing Lanyue packed up some of the blueprints on the table, then brought Qing Qiu and the Mei Niang into the palace.
These drawings were given to His Royal Highness King Yi by Bing Lanyue, and as for Monarch Moli … Who is Monarch Moli?
The emperor and Mei Niang were like a couple who had not seen each other for a whole day. How could she let the Mei Niang stay in the General's Estate?
