The White-haired Queen

After this banquet, the relationship between Wen Lanyue and Bei Mingyu became more familiar. They strolled on the vast grassland, and Bei Mingyu finally couldn't help but speak: "Yue'er, is it really impossible for us to be together? In fact, I can also give you a better future..."

Wen Lanyue slowly turned around and stretched out her jade hand to signal Bei Mingyu not to continue. Her eyes were clear and firm: "Tonight the moon is as bright as silver, the stars are shining, and you are also extraordinary, but you should know that I have already been engaged."

Bei Mingyu did not back down and insisted, "I don't care about these things. I just hope that you can be by my side for the rest of my life."

Wen Lanyue smiled slightly and responded in a relaxed tone: "If you are willing, from today on, we will call each other brother and sister. I will call you Brother Yu. Brothers and sisters are like family members. They can support each other and move forward together."

Bei Mingyu smiled helplessly and agreed with a sigh: "Well, when I meet with King Bei Cang tomorrow, after we finish discussing the business, I will tell him that he now has a lovely sister like you."

Wen Lanyue responded readily, "That's great!" Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing in the night wind.

Instantly, the heavy stone in Bei Mingyu's heart seemed to disappear without a trace. He took a deep breath, feeling the relief and peace in his heart. To be frank, he had tried his best. Perhaps in this life, he and she could only have such a deep brother-sister relationship.

Feelings should not be forced. They are like the free and unrestrained wind on the grassland; they are also like the natural grass growing everywhere, unrestrained; they are more like an eagle soaring in the sky, flying high with wings spread, unfettered.

Bei Mingyu understands that true love cannot be obtained through reluctance or persistence. It requires the traction of fate and the resonance of two hearts. Although he feels a little lost at the moment, he also knows that letting go is also an expression of love. He is willing to respect her choice and let their feelings develop naturally over the years.

The road ahead is still long, Bei Mingyu believes that no matter what the ending is, they will live happily in their own unique way. And this experience will become a precious memory in his life, forever engraved in his heart.

When you think about it, everything becomes unimportant. Bei Mingyu smiled slightly, recalling their first meeting in Shangxie Country, when the topic they talked about was the cooperation on bricks and cement.

Wen Lanyue nodded slightly, indicating that she remembered. She said, "After you return to China, this matter will be handed over to Jiang Yuxuan." Bei Mingyu agreed and continued, "Yes, we successfully built a school using the bricks and cement purchased from Xie Country. The school is about to be completed. Are you willing to visit and give some valuable suggestions?"

A smile broke out on Wen Lanyue's face and she readily responded, "Of course, I'd be happy to go." She was excited to be able to participate in such an event and was also looking forward to seeing the completion of the new school.

After talking about school, the two were silent for a while. Wen Lanyue felt a little embarrassed. She subconsciously touched her wrist. She didn't have a watch and didn't know the time. This made her a little uncomfortable, and it became difficult for her to know the specific time.

In the palace of Shangxie Kingdom, there was a wall clock that could be used to check the time, but here, she had no idea of ​​the time. It seemed that she needed to use her points to exchange for a watch at the physical exchange office of the "Tianxia Datong" library.

She couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of nature. People often judge time by the sun, moon, stars and other natural things, but for her, these are too abstract and difficult for her to grasp accurately. Maybe time itself does not exist, but humans have given it a special meaning. In this case, she can no longer use time as an excuse to delay or avoid certain things.

After thinking for a while, Wen Lanyue said softly, "The wind on the grassland is quite strong, it feels a little chilly, why don't we go back." Bei Mingyu nodded in agreement. So, the two turned around and walked slowly in the direction they came from. Their figures gradually went farther and farther, and finally disappeared at the end of the grassland...

The next morning, before the sun rose, Bei Mingyu had already arrived outside Wen Lanyue's tent and was waiting for her. When the two met, after a simple greeting, they walked together towards the direction of the Bei Cang Kingdom Court.

After entering the royal court, they met King Bei Cang. Wen Lanyue did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his needs for mineral resources to him.

However, King Bei Cang decisively refused: "The mineral you are talking about is located in the Ebony Tribe, and the Wolf Lord there is the direct ruler. You should discuss your needs with him."

Hearing these words, the Ebony Wolf Lord standing below raised his eyes and head triumphantly, as if demonstrating to Bei Mingyu.

Facing King Beicang's response, Wen Lanyue said calmly: "We in Shangxie Kingdom have always held the belief that 'the whole world belongs to the king.' This means that the ownership of the land always belongs to the state, and local officials only have the right to use the land. Therefore, for today's cooperation, it is most appropriate to find you, King Beicang." Her tone was firm and confident, which moved people.

King Bei Cang showed a helpless look and asked Lord Ebony Wolf: "Lord Ebony Wolf, in your opinion, how should this matter be viewed?"

The Ebony Wolf Lord rolled his eyes cunningly, and instantly came up with a brilliant plan. He said, "This matter concerns the livelihood of the people of our Ebony Tribe, and we must not be negligent in the slightest. Besides, someone else has already bought the mine and has already started mining."

The Ebony Wolf Lord paused for a moment, then cleared his throat and continued, "It can only be said that you came to the Shangxie Country too late. There is really nothing we can do about this situation."

However, Wen Lanyue remained calm and said slowly: "Since the Wolf Lord mentioned the people of the Ebony Tribe, let's talk about them first. These people from foreign countries bought your land and your mines, but have they really led you to prosperity?"

Wen Lanyue continued, "I was traveling along the way and passed a small town, where I discovered that the situation was unusual. Almost all the young and middle-aged men in the town went to work in the mines, leaving behind only orphans, widows, and elderly people and women. What's even more outrageous is that these people live under your strict supervision and have lost their most basic rights to freedom..."

Upon hearing this, the Ebony Wolf Lord became furious. He roared loudly, "What an arrogant man! How dare you lie and spread rumors in front of King Beicang and slander the reputation of this Wolf Lord!" His voice was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
