Chapter Eighty-Nine: Secrets
Back in the dormitory, Qiu Yue finally couldn't hold it back.
"Your Highness, I have an opinion!"
"Oh?" Ning Wanjun squinted at her, "Tell me about it?"
"Xia Fan is obviously a problem! Not to mention that he has no resistance to demons, he can even say something that lacks common sense like burning salt himself, and he doesn't look like a normal person at all! Not to mention that he is acting recklessly in front of you, and he doesn't know how to be polite, you asked me before if you were questioning your judgment or targeting Xia Fan, I now have the answer!"
The princess sat down on the bench with interest, "Answer?"
Qiu Yue puffed out her cheeks, as if gathering courage, and only after a moment did she say loudly, "Both!"
"I'm questioning your judgment and feeling that there's something wrong with him, and I've given him too much weight since you've seen him up close. If you weren't a Qi Senser, I doubt you'd have been caught in some kind of soul attraction!" she said in one breath.
"Abnormal?" Ning Wanjun raised the corners of her mouth, "It's not normalβthat's how he should be." β
"The maid doesn't understand what you're saying," Qiu Yue gritted her teeth and walked over to the princess, kneeling down with a puff, "but the maid wants to know your reason for doing this." β
"What if I don't tell me?"
"It's always hard for a slave to feel at ease!"
The princess looked at her for a long time before she sighed slightly, "I know that you are loyal to me, and you have also blocked deadly attacks for me on the battlefield before, so I don't want to tell you." This is a major secret of the Privy Council, and it is understandable that the royal family knows about it, but you are different, and if you say it, it may harm you. β
"Don't be afraid!"
"Well," the princess held out her foot, "I wanted to say it a long time ago." β
"Huh?" Qiu Yue looked surprised, but her movements did not lag in the slightest, supporting the soles of the other party's feet with one hand, and kneading them skillfully.
It used to be the princess's favorite way to relax when she was in the barracks.
"Isn't it torture for you to know a secret that you don't need to keep it? β
"Uh......" Qiu Yue couldn't help but wonder if she had a choice to regret it.
Looking at the posture, the princess seemed to have been waiting for her to ask for a long time.
"Have you ever heard of a listener?" Ning Wanjun closed her eyes comfortably, "a kind of incredible person who can hear messages that are not in the world. β
"Listener?" Qiu Yue subconsciously repeated, "Are you sure it's not an auditory hallucination?"
Syllable!
The princess slapped her on the back of the head and leaned back in her chair, "Will auditory hallucinations make the Privy Council look like a great enemy?"
"Well, you're right. β
"Some of these messages are magical, some are secrets, but without exception, they are worth a thousand gold and can even cause a stir in the world. Because the source of the message is strange and incomprehensible, it is normal for the listener to be unusual. β
"You mean, Xia Fan is a listener?"
"He once said that if he hadn't seen something else, he would make the same choice as me. The princess chuckled, "It may sound strange to the average person, but to the listener it becomes a declarative fact." β
"Wouldn't it be too hasty to just say one sentence?" Qiu Yue was still a little skeptical, "Your Highness, you haven't seen a real listener before, have you?"
"Of course, are you the listener of the cabbage growing in the ground?" Ning Wanjun glanced at her, "What's more, what I care about is not a title, but the changes he can actually bring." For example, if he says he wants to solve the problem of the salt industry himself, what do I have to veto? Just because I can't do it, I also think that others can't do it?"
"If the listeners are so incredible, why would the Privy Council withhold their news?" Qiu Yue asked puzzledly, "Isn't it okay to gather them together and serve the Privy Council?"
"Because hearsay, listeners lead to the destruction of the country. Ning Wanjun said lightly.
The maid gasped, "Death, death, death, isn't that-"
"Isn't it?" she grinned, "isn't that just right for me?"
Qiu Yue was silent for a moment before she said with difficulty, "This ...... I guess it's a rumor. β
"Indeed, I think so too. The princess's answer greatly relieved the maid, "The rise and fall of a kingdom cannot be decided by one person." I guess it's because of the Holy ...... No, it should be that the six kingdoms of the world don't want to see another eternal kingdom again. β
Qiu Yue looked confused.
Seeing her like this, Ning Wanjun shrugged, "Forget it, I'll tell you another secret." She said word by word, "It is rumored that the last emperor of the eternal kingdom is the listener. β
The latter was dumbfounded.
"Now that we've heard the secret, it's time to get down to business. Ning Wanjun retracted her feet, "Go and prepare the pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Gyeonggi." β
......
"Miss, may I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess?" asked politely after being called by the guard.
Although Qiu Yue is a maid on the surface, the people who follow the third princess know that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, so no one will really treat her as a slave.
"Your Highness, Your Highness asks you to send this letter to the Gyeonggi Privy Council as quickly as possible and hand it over to a Lubu official named Luo Shiqi. β
Qiu Yue handed him a tightly bandaged paper bag, "After that, you wait in Gyeonggi, and once the other party gives a reply, you will immediately bring back the message." β
"Understood, it's easy to do. The guard cautiously put the paper bag into his pocket.
"Also, I'd like you to help me deliver a letter along the way. β
"Oh? Who do you want to give it to?"
Qiu Yue took out another letter, "Yun Gongzi of the Ministry of Works." β
"Yun Gongzi...... Don't have a more specific name?" said the guard, slightly surprised.
"As long as you go to the Ministry of Industry for a turn, someone will naturally tell you who Yun Gongzi is. At the mention of Yun Gongzi, Qiu Yue's tone became brisk, "This person is the treasure of the Machine Creation Bureau, and even the Tyrant Xingtian is full of praise for him, saying that Gongzi can top an army." β
He knows that he is a famous warrior in Qiguo, and he is known as one enemy and one hundred on the battlefield, but there is still a huge gap between a hundred people and a whole army.
Being so praised by the town guards, the guards couldn't help but be curious about this person.
"If Your Highness has no other orders, then I will set off. He put the second letter away.
Although it was not yet dawn, it was not uncommon for the Messenger to travel day and night.
"Go ahead. β
Qiu Yue let out a deep breath after seeing the guards go away.
Although I heard the seemingly amazing news from the princess just now, it was just a guess by Her Highness after all.
With her experience and intelligence, she couldn't discern His Highness's guesses, but she knew that someone could.
In terms of wisdom, Yun Gongzi is the most dazzling character she has ever seen.
And before the princess went to the army, the two had a good time together. The other party had privately mentioned his admiration for the princess, and he was willing to help her solve any difficulties within his ability.
Maybe this is that difficult moment, Qiu Yue thought to herself.
Yun Gongzi, I can only help you get here.
