"Master, there are bandits in the western part of the city."
Murong Jin put down the folded document in her hand. "Bandits?"
Yi Er listened to Jin Shisan's report from the side, "Where did these bandits come from?"
"It came from the Western Regions. It seems to be some kind of poison that no one there can cure, so it slowly drifted here."
Yi Er asked him, "What's the reason?"
"Because everyone has heard that there are miraculous doctors in the capital, some people are planning to come to the capital."
"But some people wanted to take advantage of the situation and formed small teams to operate secretly in the Xicheng Mountain area."
Murong Jin touched the latest jade pendant on his hand. "Arrange for someone to handle this, and also send someone to the palace to inform His Majesty."
"yes."
Bandits?
Murong Jin thought that these people probably didn't know that the capital was heavily guarded.
...
How many people?
According to the report from his covert investigation, "There are three locations. One is in the mountains, one is by the river, and the other is in a small village nearby."
"Your Majesty, shall we capture them all in one fell swoop?"
Emperor Junlan thought for a moment, "Where is the Regent?"
An Kesen: "According to Cheng Er, the Regent has gone to the mountains."
Emperor Junlan: "...His body hasn't recovered yet, why is he meddling in this? Go, prepare yourself, I'm going to see these people myself, what kind of trouble they want to cause on my territory."
Ankersen: "...Maybe you shouldn't go..."
"go."
An Kesen: "..." Fine, I'll have someone protect him secretly. Otherwise, with his status, the enemy would be more than happy for His Majesty to leave the capital so they can make their move.
Assassinations, poisoning... witchcraft...
"Your Majesty~~~"
Di Junlan looked at the affected An Kesen beside him, his face full of displeasure: "Get lost. Who are you trying to disgust?!"
Ankesen followed behind him, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you go out with your current identity, you'll definitely be assassinated!!"
Emperor Junlan's gaze fell on him, his face full of disdain: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
After changing his identity, Ankersen looked at the guards beside him and said, "Alright~"
His Majesty has been the kind of person who can bend and stretch ever since they first met; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to scheme for so many years and finally climb to this position.
Can I ask you a question?
Di Junlan stood beside him and said, "Speak."
What were your reasons for climbing to this position in the first place?
Di Junlan glanced at him, "For him."
Ankesen had an "I knew it" look on his face. To climb to this position for a woman... that's quite devoted.
At that time, Di Junlan didn't think too much. He just wanted to see that girl again. After he left the palace and started his new life, he couldn't find her. No matter where he was, he couldn't find any news about her.
He realized that with power and status came greater influence over people, especially those in high positions… His father, the emperor, had many subordinates who could be used by him…
So he began to plot, in order to take this position, and to find someone.
He immediately sent his shadow guards to search for him after his ascension to the throne, but they could not find him...
Later, when Murong Jin and the Regent of Da Cheng returned, he didn't have much time to investigate and could only deal with Murong Jin... After discovering that this person was a friend, the sense of urgency and threat gradually decreased...
After the matter in Meng Kingdom was resolved, Murong Jin returned, and he naturally put aside his own affairs... He had known before that this position held more power... but he never expected it to be more tiring than manual labor...
"But Your Majesty, aren't you going to look for him now?"
The white moonlight of many years has suddenly turned into the black moonlight, and the woman has turned into a man... No one can accept this, right?
Di Junlan's eyes were full of "You're an idiot" looks. "We've already found it, why are we still looking?"
Ankesen touched the tip of his nose and said, "Okay."
He really wanted to ask who that person was, but seeing the cold look on His Majesty's face, he suddenly didn't dare to ask.
Scared (☉д⊙)
I'm so curious! Who is that man?! Who could have captivated His Majesty so much when he was a child, making him swoon over him?!
...
Achoo!
Upon hearing Murong Jin sneeze, Yi Er immediately teleported over. "Master, what's wrong? Have you caught a cold? Should we go back? It's definitely much colder in the mountains at night than in the capital."
Murong Jin's eyes widened for a moment, "It's nothing."
She suddenly felt like sneezing, and according to the older folks, someone was probably talking behind her back.
Looking into the mountains, a cool breeze blew around, carrying the scent of spring—Murong Jin's favorite scent, because many flowers would bloom in vibrant colors, and those flowers could be made into flower cakes, flower tea, flower pastries…
Yi Er stood on the other side and said, "Master, look over there, there are signs of encampment."
"What about Thirteen?"
Yi Er glanced at the opposite side and said, "He has already led his men infiltrated and will be able to take over this stronghold tonight."
Murong Jin stroked the new toy in her hand. It was one of the jade pendants that had been sent from the palace that day. It was a beautiful agate-colored pendant. "Well, in that case, I'll wait here."
"yes."
A beautiful woman in a wheelchair, with a handsome guard standing beside her, sat on the mountaintop. Soon, they heard sounds coming from below: fighting, shouts, and angry cries...
Murong Jin, who arrived in the middle of the night, stayed there until dawn. As the sunlight came out, a figure appeared in her eyes...
Emperor Lan?
What are you doing here?
"Yi Er, take me away."
Yi Er pushed her, gripping the armrests at the back of the wheelchair with both hands. "Yes."
He grabbed on tightly and jumped down with his men.
For some reason, Di Junlan felt that someone was watching him, so he turned his head and saw Murong Jin jumping down from the top of the mountain. His eyelids twitched and he immediately rushed over.
They had just arrived, and the wheelchair landed safely on the ground, with Yi Er, that reckless subordinate, behind them.
Di Junlan's face darkened. Didn't he know that this action was dangerous?!
Murong Jin, you big dummy!
Murong Jin was already used to Yi Er's actions.
When Yi Er saw Emperor Junlan, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, are you well?"
"Regent, don't you think what you just did was dangerous? What if Yi Er hadn't held onto your wheelchair? Wouldn't you have fallen right off?"
Yi Er looked completely bewildered. Huh?
Murong Jin looked at the worry on his face and was puzzled. Huh? This person cares about her?
"What is Your Majesty doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Junlan immediately changed the subject, saying, "I've come to take a look."
"oh."
Emperor Lan: "..."
Couldn't you say a few more words?! I don't know how to talk to you!
