“So many people have come?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
“There will only be more, never less.”
Little Kingfisher said confidently.
“What kind of person is the King of Beiming, Xia Yan?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes darkened: “I really want to know why he is so obsessed with annexing other countries, risking the depletion of national strength and waging war for years.”
“Beiming is near the Polar Ice Field, with harsh climate and not as prosperous as the Central Plains.”
Little Kingfisher had its own opinion: “They are naturally unwilling to be trapped there for their whole lives and want to change their fate through war.”
“Perhaps that’s the case.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes flickered, then she suddenly chuckled: “Yin’er, you can have the bird investigate Xia Yan, and then we’ll know why he sent so many Black Wolf Guards to capture Xuan’er.”
“Alright, I’ll have the bird investigate first thing tomorrow morning.”
Little Kingfisher’s small eyes sparkled, instantly regaining its enthusiasm.
“Also investigate the King of Beiqi.”
Lin Qingluo smiled: “And that King of Yan. I remember, two years ago at Medicine King Valley, there was a favored concubine who went there for treatment. I think her name was Yu Ge. Her husband is the King of Yan.”
“Beiqi and Beiming are adjacent to Fengqi, so it’s better to be prepared by knowing more about these two countries.”
“Alright.”
Little Kingfisher flapped its little wings happily.
It loves gossip the most, especially about the royal families of the Seven Kingdoms. Given the opportunity, it wouldn’t mind unearthing all the information it can.

As the night grew deeper, Lin Qingluo sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. Her spiritual sense began to spread outwards, taking her room as the center.
Within few breaths, the entire Duke of Zhen’s residence was under the cover of her spiritual sense.
The residence was quiet and peaceful. All the masters of the various courtyards had gone to sleep. The old woman on night watch duty leaned against the doorframe dozing off. The loyal Shadow Guards hid in the hidden corners, waiting to ensure the safety of their masters.
Not detecting anything unusual, she felt slightly relieved and continued to expand her spiritual sense outward, covering the neat and tidy houses, streets and alleys, and eventually extending to the Imperial Court.

Imperial Court’s main building had three floors, in the central room on the top floor.
All three bureau executives gathered. Xu Ruyun had a severe and murderous look on her face, holding a long sword and standing tall.
“Tonight, there’s bound to be bloodshed throughout Capital City!”
Chief Financial Officer Xiao Wei opened the window, looked down from above, and sighed deeply as she watched the garrison soldiers searching the streets and alleys one by one.
“As long as Xia Yan lives and the Black Wolf Guard exists, we should not sit idly by and guard ourselves to death.”
Mu Fangyun, the Grand Commander of the Department of Justice, had cold eyes, and couldn’t hide her hatred.
“In my opinion, we should send people to infiltrate Beiming’s capital city, assassinate Xia Yan, and cause chaos. We need to vent our anger.”
“Alas, if it were ten years ago, His Majesty might still have such ambition. Facing Xia Yan’s provocation, he would send heavy-armored troops to compete with him. However, now…”
Xiao Wei sighed deeply again: “Today’s His Majesty is not the same as before.”
“There’s a discovery. You stay here and guard while I’ll take people over there first.”
Xu Ruyun’s eyes suddenly darkened, and she leaped onto the roof, leading the Supervision Department experts towards a nearby bustling alley not far from the street.
“You guard here, I’ll take people to the Imperial Palace.”
Mu Fangyun’s heart tightened, not daring to delay any longer. She also jumped onto the roof, blew a loud whistle at the base of her tongue, and summoned the Department of Justice experts to rush to the Imperial Palace.
