The inn was bustling with noise and excitement. The officials were all drinking wine with their fists raised. However, there was a man and a woman sitting at a table in the corner who were staring at each other without saying a word.
After a long while, Bing Lanyue finally asked softly, "Is what Brother Cheng said the truth? "Master Zhang actually wanted to assassinate the Deputy Minister?"
Cheng Maohua said with difficulty: "Sister Bing might not know, but I sent this to brother Zhang at the pavilion."
Bing Lanyue's expression was somewhat anxious as she asked, "And then? What did Brother Zhang tell you at that time? "
Cheng Maohua hesitated for a while, then said softly: "When outside the city, brother Zhang received a secret decree, Brother Zhang only mentioned to not envious, speaking about the dangers of the world."
"Gone?" Bing Lanyue asked.
Cheng Maohua continued, "I heard from Brother Zhang that the empress dowager had issued a secret order for Brother Zhang to act against the Duke of the Auxiliary Nation after entering the feudal fiefdom, with the intention of offending the subordinate forces of the Jun Family."
Good move, good move! Monarch Moli did not have the ability to take revenge, and had allowed the position of Duke of the Auxiliary Nation to be conferred upon him. How could the powers of the old clan not suspect him? Even if the matter was exposed, the empress dowager was not afraid, because Zhang Xu was randomly appointed by the emperor on the streets.
Perhaps what Grandmother said was right. Perhaps the Empress Dowager and the Emperor …
Bing Lanyue was not worried about Monarch Moli's safety as she had to arrive at the feudal fiefdom before making her move. Currently, Monarch Moli, Zhang Xu and the others were not rushing to the feudal fiefdom as quickly as possible. From afternoon till now, they could at most travel to the cities a hundred miles away.
If he called someone over now, he would probably be able to catch up by the second half of the night.
Bing Lanyue thought for a while and called over the waiter who was standing not far away. She whispered to him, and said: "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for helping my sister this much, it's the job of a thousand families, leave it to my sister, haha."
Cheng Maohua was so anxious that his whole body was covered in sweat. He had leaked an earth-shattering amount of information, and was afraid that the Miss Bing would destroy the bridge after crossing the river, so he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"If that's the case, then thank you Sister Bing. I still have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave." Cheng Maohua stood up, cupped her hands and was about to leave.
Meng Xia quickly rushed over and said: "Young Master Cheng, please pay up."
Bing Lanyue shook her head and laughed: "It's alright, it's alright."
Cheng Maohua took out his money bag from his bosom and said, "No, no, no.
Meng Xia pretended to be unhappy and said: "Young miss, back then when we opened it, we already said that even the current emperor would have to pay. Young miss, did you forget that you drank too much today?"
Bing Lanyue secretly praised Meng Xia in her heart, but she said: "Then leave Brother Cheng's debt to me."
Cheng Maohua laughed, and cupped his hands: "Sister Bing is too courteous, I am still not able to pay for a meal, if this were to spread out, who would dare to entertain you at an inn of different sizes in the capital, what I should give, what I should give."
As he said that, he calculated the price list behind the counter, paid the money, and then left in a relaxed manner.
"Not bad, not bad." Bing Lanyue laughed and said: "Even if the immortals from heaven were to come down, they would have to pay even if they wanted money."
At this point, a person walked in, chuckled and said: "If this business is carried out on the deities, I'm afraid that this is the only shop in the entire Great Ling Dynasty."
"His Royal Highness King Yi?" Bing Lanyue's heart felt slightly warm as she said with a smile, "Today is His Royal Highness King Yi's wedding day. His Royal Highness King Yi isn't at home to accompany the beauty but has instead come to the small shop.
The person who came was Prince Yi. Prince Yi had brought a follower, and they were convinced.
"Heh heh, Bing Ling likes to joke all the time. It's really difficult for me to fall asleep tonight, would it be possible for me to invite Bing Ling for a drink?" Prince Yi smiled, but his eyes revealed a look of sorrow.
Bing Lanyue's weak point of mind was touched. Her nose turned sour and she was about to cry.
She still remembered that day when her ex-boyfriend packed up his stuff and left, his eyes were filled with the same sadness. The stubborn her did not ask him to stay.
Today, under the dim candlelight, the Prince Yi's face looked even more similar to him. Bing Lanyue endured her tears and replied, "Of course, Your Highness."
Prince Yi was startled, he looked at the laughing crowd, then opened up his fan to cover his mouth, and said softly: "Don't you have a private room?"
Bing Lanyue slightly shook her head, and said with a low voice: "Red Dust Inn, one must enter the shop as a guest, it is the same for all the guests, as it reflects one of the objectives of this shop, equality."
Equality? The Prince Yi was speechless. He laughed out loud and said, "Everyone says that Bing Ling is unusually intelligent. To think he would actually think of equality."
Bing Lanyue smiled as she led Prince Yi to the table where they were sitting.
"Has Your Highness been living in a high and mighty place for so many years? Is it because of the specialness of the dishes? It seems that the store is expensive, but the customers are endless." Bing Lanyue leaned on the wooden door and laughed.
The Prince Yi thought for a while and said, "Perhaps what you said is true, but Bing Ling is divided into different grades. If His Majesty were to personally come, could it be that His Majesty would have to sit with us on the first floor? If that's the case, then where is the imperial family's heavenly might? "
Bing Lanyue curled her lips and thought, even though she looked exactly like her ex-boyfriend, the inside was still filled with the thoughts of a monarch.
"Never mind, it doesn't make sense to you." Bing Lanyue asked, "I don't know why Your Highness doesn't go to the Spring Festival Gala for one hour and instead comes to the store to drink?"
Bing Lanyue guessed, could it be that the His Royal Highness King Yi was really a broken back?
"Hehe, it's all because of the depression in my chest, I want to find someone to listen to it." Prince Yi laughed bitterly: "It's just that there are too many people here, I'm afraid it's too inconvenient."
Bing Lanyue obviously knew what the Prince Yi was thinking, but she pretended not to know. Just at this moment, the waiter brought up a few dishes and a jug of wine.
Prince Yi stared straight at the waiter's hand, and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of an inexplicable smile.
"Bing Ling, do you have any special insight into the situation of the court?" Prince Yi poured a cup for Bing Lanyue first, and then for himself.
Bing Lanyue shook her head and said: "What do you think? Your majesty has descended upon the world, and I'm afraid that he will soon be in the rear. When the time comes, the imperial court will be stable, the nation will be peaceful, and there will be a peaceful and auspicious atmosphere.
She wasn't so stupid as to reveal all of her inner thoughts just like that. If you dug out everything from the bottom of her heart, she might even find it fishy.
Bing Lanyue raised her cup to signal them, and said: "Your Highness, after you."
Prince Yi drank a full cup of wine, then said: "Bing Ling is not speaking from the bottom of his heart, who dares to treat you as an ordinary person, the young miss Bing Ling?"
Bing Lanyue frowned, and asked: "What does Your Highness mean by that?"
Prince Yi looked around, then said: "There's too many people, it's not convenient to speak of."
Why wouldn't it be inconvenient for him to start at this point? If everyone came to a private room, how would he be able to obtain the information?
"If Your Highness feels that it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it. I still have other things to do, so I won't be accompanying you." Bing Lanyue forced a smile.
"No …" Prince Yi waved his hand and explained, "I really don't dislike it …"
"This little girl really has something on her mind. About the Vice Duke …" Um … if Your Highness is not in a hurry to return to the bridal chamber, you can wait for the little girl to finish her work and come back to drink with Your Highness. " Bing Lanyue interrupted him and brought Meng Xia out.
"Eldest Miss, should we bring a few guards with us? I'm afraid it's not safe for us to leave like this." When Meng Xia heard that the young miss had been assassinated, she was so scared that her soul almost left her body.
Both of them were women, so Meng Xia understood her Young Miss' problems.
"Meng Xia, if you continue to be so high and mighty in the future, with a large group of people accompanying you when you travel, how much do you think you will experience?" Bing Lanyue pointed to the store that was not open for business and said: "Let's go! Let's go change. "
After changing his clothes, Bing Lanyue regretted it a little. She had seen from the television that when a girl changed her clothes, they would recognize that she was a girl. However, today, when she looked left and right, Meng Xia's actions were undoubtedly also that of a girl's.
"Forget it, let's leave through the back door." Bing Lanyue brought Meng Xia and left silently, riding the horses they prepared and headed straight for the villa.
Returning to the villa, Bing Lanyue found out how many people Monarch Moli had left for her. Adding the fact that Dark Guard had more than a thousand people, these people were all ready to go.
"Ye Lang?" Bing Lanyue looked at Ye Lang and asked gloomily, "Ye Lang, what are you doing?"
Ye Lang asked curiously: "Young miss, didn't you say that you wanted me to go chase after young master?"
Bing Lanyue covered her forehead, and said: "That's right, I'm telling you to go, but you don't need to bring so many people, right?"
Ye Lang said in shame: "Yes, I'm sorry, First Miss, this subordinate misunderstood you, does Young Miss mean that you can come with us?"
Bing Lanyue grabbed Ye Lang and walked to the side, "Bring along two people and chase them immediately. You must notify Monarch Moli, tell him that the empress dowager wants to kill him, and that Zhang Xu will make his move when we reach the feudal fiefdom."
Ye Lang nodded repeatedly, without saying a word, he brought two people along and said: "This subordinate will go right now."
The three of them rode their horses and immediately disappeared into the night, leaving a thousand people staring at Bing Lanyue with their eyes wide open. Bing Lanyue took a deep breath, when she was at school, she had given lectures, but they were limited to small lectures, not more than a hundred people at most. Now that there were more than a thousand pairs of eyes looking at her at the same time, she felt a little scared.
"Um, who is the leader of the assassination team?" Have you selected it yet? " Bing Lanyue asked.
"Subordinate is Broken Water." A figure rushed out like a ghost.
The torches in the manor caused the entire training grounds to burn as if it was daytime. Bing Lanyue looked carefully.
"You are Bing Wu's bodyguard, right?" Bing Lanyue asked.
Broken Water nodded and said, "Yes."
"Alright." Bing Lanyue turned and asked the people left behind by Monarch Moli: "Monarch Moli should have told you all that from today onwards, you are under my command, no one has any objections."
A woman stood out and said: "Eldest Miss, Subordinate Huo Feng, female official of National Duke’s Mansion. What this subordinate wants to ask is, how do you plan to arrange us?"
