Di Junlan looked at the surrounding map and said, "So, this is where Murong Jin's people are? They're not anywhere else."
An Kesen: "Yes, we sent people to investigate. Murong Jin's people are specifically guarding this place, and they are very careful. If they hadn't discovered it today, they wouldn't have sent Zhao Delin to find you."
Emperor Junlan looked at the red markings on the distribution map and said, "I understand. Find a place to relocate. As for Murong Jin, conduct a thorough investigation to find out what he is planning."
In particular, what do they want to do to me?
Do you want my life, or my current position?
When Zhao Delin entered, he saw a man with a gloomy face. "Your Majesty, we should return to the palace."
He had originally intended to ask His Majesty whether he was going to the Regent's Palace or back to the palace, but after thinking about what had happened today, he suggested that it might be time to return to the palace.
Emperor Junlan glanced at the distribution map, and finally uttered two words in a low voice, "Return to the palace."
Zhao Delin: "Yes!"
It seems His Majesty has been deeply hurt by the Regent, otherwise he wouldn't have uttered those two words so resolutely.
These past two nights, His Majesty has been preoccupied with figuring out how to scale the wall and enter the Regent's residence, especially how to get into the Regent's bedchamber...
...
Murong Jin was full and satisfied.
Ling Qiao'er hadn't had hot pot in a long time. She had run all over the capital today to buy everything, especially the seasonings, which she had to buy ingredients to make herself.
"By the way, brother, I've written down the recipe for the seasoning for this. If you ever want to eat it in the future, you can ask the kitchen staff to make it for you."
"I'm thinking of a dish to eat for dinner tomorrow."
Murong Jin nodded, "Okay."
Ling Qiao'er was taken to her room, which was in the same courtyard, but quite a distance from Murong Jin's room. It seemed that there were only a few rooms here, and apart from the main room, the other rooms were most likely reserved for Murong Jin's close associates.
Murong Jin has a younger cousin and a younger cousin. His father is the Prince of Zhenbei. His mother passed away from illness when he was young, and his aunt... who is Murong Jin's mother's younger sister, left the capital and married the richest man in the city...
"Miss Qiao'er, this is money for you."
Ling Qiao'er took it. "Did my brother give this to me? Money for groceries?"
Yi Yi smiled and said, "No, Master said this is your pocket money. If you need money to buy ingredients, you can just find the head chef and have him take you to the market center."
Ling Qiao'er's eyes lit up when she heard this. If she hadn't been short of money, why would she have become a hacker in the first place?
After closing the door, Ling Qiao'er took out the money and counted it: fifty taels of silver!
grass!
One tael of silver is two thousand coins, fifty taels—what a concept! That's one hundred thousand a month! And that's every single month!
Waaaaah, she's rich now! She's successfully latched onto a powerful figure!
Her crush is practically her lucky charm! She'll have to treat him like royalty from now on and cook him lots of delicious food to win him over through his stomach!
Later that evening, Murong Jin looked at the documents in her hand, then glanced one last time out the window. The moon wasn't very full; it was crescent-shaped like a ship...
Why is His Majesty secretly raising an army?
Murong Jin most likely knows the reason: his own strength is still too weak to compete with her.
Murong Jin took out the emerald green jade pendant from her waist and raised an eyebrow.
He refused the tiger tally and secretly raised troops; this is not at all like the demeanor of an emperor.
Yi Yi looked at the person who seemed a little out of sorts and said, "Master."
Murong Jin's eyes flashed. "It's alright. Let them continue to observe in secret. If anyone discovers His Majesty's base, deal with them discreetly."
Yi Yi looked at the person lost in thought and said, "Yes."
The master is actually soft-hearted towards His Majesty, isn't he? He hasn't given many suspicions much thought. Why would His Majesty secretly raise an army? They all guessed the reason. Now, the only person who poses a threat to His Majesty is the master…
The purpose of raising an army is simply to create a check and balance between them and their master one day...
After Murong Jin was left alone in the room, she reached out and touched the somewhat damaged jade pendant.
If it weren't for this jade pendant, Murong Jin would have died countless times on the battlefield. It's as if Di Junlan saved her...
She will neither kill Di Junlan nor seize power.
She only knew one thing about the ending of the book: that Emperor Junlan led Da Cheng to the pinnacle of the world, and especially later, Emperor Junlan's descendants led Da Cheng to unify the world, and no other country existed in the world anymore...
For this reason alone, Murong Jin was interested.
In this life, just live for yourself.
Murong Jin stayed in his room all night. The next morning, he changed into his court robes and said, "Let's go to court."
Yi knew she hadn't slept all night, but didn't know what to say. "Yes."
Looking at the people around her, Yi Yi and the others were the bodyguards her father had arranged to protect her. At first, most of them were disobedient to her, after all, she was a carefree and stubborn young man...
Actually, she didn't think much about it at the time. When she joined the army, she did so secretly, without telling her father. The reason for joining the army was probably because she had been influenced by what she saw and heard since childhood, and she knew how much suffering war brought to ordinary people...
Her goal was to lead the people of Dacheng onto the path of wealth and prosperity...
Emperor Junlan sat on his high seat, looking at Murong Jin who seemed absent-minded, a dark glint in his eyes.
"Your Highness, what are your thoughts on agriculture?"
Murong Jin didn't even lift his eyelids: "The Prime Minister is right, we should listen to him."
Li Mingzhong's heart skipped a beat. The Regent actually said he would listen to him. This was terrible. The prince was acting strangely today.
Emperor Junlan: "Then let's arrange it according to the Prime Minister's plan."
Murong Jin remained silent throughout, occasionally chiming in with a word or two when someone asked a question. However, when someone had a problem, he would interrupt them and start pointing out their shortcomings, becoming sharp and serious.
As Di Junlan looked down at the imposing figure below, his heart began to pound again.
Emperor Junlan: "Let's do as the Regent says."
"Your subject obeys the decree."
After the morning court session, Murong Jin was pushed away from the Golden Palace by Yi Yi, and there she saw Emperor Lan standing not far away.
"Your Majesty is well."
Di Junlan looked at the dark circles under Murong Jin's eyes, "Did the Regent not get enough rest last night?"
Murong Jin's eyelids twitched. "It's alright."
Is this guy up to his old tricks again?
Yesterday, I heard from Thirteen that His Majesty's men discovered them and probably have begun to suspect them of having ulterior motives... Murong Jin had already guessed that Emperor Junlan was likely already conflicted because he didn't come over last night...
A little misunderstanding is good; it will show whether Di Junlan is truly interested in her or just interested in her power...
She was really looking forward to it.
