Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan hurried back to An Qingyue's residence. As soon as they entered the residence, Feng Qingyue looked around anxiously.

At that moment, Lan Qing was walking down the corridor, holding a scroll in his hands. Seeing the two return, Lan Qing bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Miss, Master Jun."

Feng Qingyue didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and hurried forward to ask, "Lan Qing, is Lan Ying back?"

Lan Qing shook his head, looking a little anxious: "Not yet, Miss. Do you want me to go look for it?"

At this moment, Lan Ying and Qian San walked in from outside the mansion. Feng Qingyue's eyes lit up and she greeted them happily: "Lan Ying, you are finally back. Did you encounter any trouble?"

Lan Ying smiled lightly, her expression calm. "Miss, thank you for your concern. It's okay. Those few people can't do anything to me."

Seeing that everyone was alright, Feng Qingyue invited everyone in, and they took their seats in the hall. Feng Qingyue looked at Lan Ying and said seriously, "Lan Ying, tell me briefly about the negotiations with Bei Xiu in the restaurant today."

Lan Ying looked at Feng Qingyue, her hands folded respectfully in front of her: "Miss, regarding today's incident, Master Bei's true intention was to win you over and make you serve him."

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and said decisively, "Since the relationship has been broken, he will probably make further moves in the near future. Lanying, we must strengthen our defenses in the attic in the near future."

Lan Ying responded respectfully, "Don't worry, young lady. I will do my utmost to strengthen the attic's defenses. Bei Xiu is a very ambitious man. If his plan fails today, he will definitely not give up."

Jun Lingyuan frowned, his expression stern. "Qingyue, Bei Xiu has great influence in the court. Now that he's targeting you, we need to consider countermeasures from many aspects. Not only must we strengthen the defenses in the attic, but we must also pay attention to his movements in the court and in the martial arts world."

Feng Qingyue nodded, her expression solemn: "Jun Lingyuan, you are right. We need to send someone to monitor Bei Xiu's recent actions to see if there is anything unusual."

Lan Qing said with a hint of worry: "Miss, the people around Bei Xiu are not ordinary people. If our people go to investigate, it might be dangerous."

Feng Qingyue pondered for a moment and said calmly, "This is indeed a tricky situation. But we should just keep an eye on their movements and plan the next step if something unexpected happens."

Lan Ying agreed: "Okay, Miss."

Jun Lingyuan agreed: "That's great. Furthermore, we can also consider joining forces with forces at odds with Bei Xiu to resist him."

Feng Qingyue's eyes lit up, as if she had come up with a good idea: "That's a good idea. Ling Yuan, you're well-informed. Please help me find those in the court who have grievances with Bei Xiu. We can provide them with some intelligence."

Jun Lingyuan smiled, looked at Feng Qingyue, and said gently: "Qian San, did you hear that?"

Qian San replied respectfully, "I'll do it right away." After saying that, he was about to leave.

Feng Qingyue said hurriedly, "It's settled. However, Lan Ying and Qian San have been very tired today, so you should get some rest first. We'll discuss this matter tomorrow."

Lan Ying and Qian San replied respectfully in unison: "Yes, Miss."

In the past two days, Qian San has already known that this young lady has a close relationship with his Majesty, and his Majesty obeys her every word, so he naturally has to respect her.

After the two of them left, Feng Qingyue turned to look at Jun Lingyuan and asked softly, "Jun Lingyuan, I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion. Can you come with me?"

Jun Lingyuan's eyes flashed with interest, and he nodded with anticipation: "Okay, I'll go with you."

The two of them made some preparations before heading out. On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Feng Qingyue looked a little solemn.

Jun Lingyuan glanced at her and asked softly, "Qingyue, is there anything special about going to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Feng Qingyue sighed softly and said seriously, "The City Lord's Mansion holds a special position in the city. Now that Bei Xiu has made unusual moves, I want to inform the City Lord in advance so he can be more vigilant. Furthermore, the City Lord's Mansion has a wide range of sources of information, so perhaps we can get some new news about Bei Xiu."

Jun Lingyuan nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "You've considered everything very carefully. However, the City Lord has a somewhat erratic personality. It might be difficult to get information and support from him."

Feng Qingyue raised a faint smile and said confidently, "You don't have to worry about that."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The guard at the gate saw them and stepped forward to stop them.

Feng Qingyue took out a token from her sleeve and said calmly, "I am Feng Qingyue, and I have come to see the City Lord. Please inform him."

When the guard saw the token, his expression changed and he said respectfully, "It's Miss Feng. Please wait a moment. I'll go and inform her right away."

Not long after, the guard came back and gestured for invitation: "Miss Feng, the city lord wants to see you."

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan looked at each other and walked into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was deep and secluded, with its buildings arranged in an orderly manner. They followed the guards through corridors and arrived in front of a large hall.

The guard said respectfully, "The city lord is inside, please come in."

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan straightened their clothes and walked into the hall. They saw the city lord sitting in the main seat, looking at them with deep eyes.

Ouyang Lie wondered in his heart, who was this person that An Qingyue brought with her?

Feng Qingyue stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "City Lord, I apologize for disturbing you."

The City Lord raised his hand slightly and said majestically, "No need to be so polite, Pavilion Master. What brings you here today?"

Feng Qingyue straightened up and said slowly, "City Lord, last time you mentioned that Prince Bei Xiu had some intentions towards me, he has already come to see me, and we have broken off our relationship. He may come to harass you in the near future, so please be careful then."

The city lord frowned and said seriously, "I have also heard about Prince Bei Xiu's ambitions. However, he is the crown prince after all. If we openly oppose him, I am afraid we will cause a lot of trouble."

Jun Lingyuan stepped forward and said solemnly, "City Lord, if Prince Bei Xiu succeeds in his plot, he might not only covet the Sky Dome Pavilion, but he might also take control of the City Lord's Mansion."

Ouyang Lie looked at Jun Lingyuan, then turned to look at Feng Qingyue, and asked doubtfully, "Who is he?"

Jun Lingyuan replied respectfully: "Hello, City Lord! I am Jun Lingyuan."

Ouyang Lie said in surprise: "You are the emperor of Beiming Kingdom."

Jun Lingyuan looked at him and asked, "Does the City Lord know me?"

Ouyang Lie continued, "How could I not know him? Your Majesty Bei Ming is wise, intelligent, benevolent, and generous. I wonder what brings you to Frost Moon City?"

Jun Lingyuan said modestly, "Your Excellency, I am truly honored. I am merely here to visit an old friend."

The city lord pondered for a moment and said, "You have a point. I will consider it. However, Qingyue, his target is you after all. You should be more careful."

Feng Qingyue said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, City Lord. Qingyue will."

Feng Qingyue continued, "City Lord, we will take our leave now. If you have any latest news about Bei Xiu, please send someone to report it. I will come to pay a visit."

The city lord said gently, "Okay."

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Thank you, City Lord. We'll take our leave now."

After the two left, Ouyang Lie muttered to himself: Who on earth is this An Qingyue? Not only does she know some strange things, but she's also an old friend of His Majesty Bei Ming.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Jun Lingyuan whispered to Feng Qingyue, "Qingyue, you seem to be very familiar with the City Lord?"

Feng Qingyue shook her head lightly and said calmly, "It's okay. It might be because his daughter is about the same age as me and always follows me."

Jun Lingyuan felt a little jealous and asked awkwardly, "The city lord's daughter? Who is she?"

Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan seriously, as if she was talking about a trivial matter: "It's the girl I met twice before, Ouyang Wanqing."

Jun Lingyuan looked at her as if she were a fool, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't look at me like that, I don't care, or do you want me to remember it?"

Feng Qingyue rolled her eyes at Jun Lingyuan and said coquettishly, "Stop joking and go back home."

Jun Lingyuan looked at Feng Qingyue's appearance, and the smile on his face became even wider. He quickly responded, "Okay." After that, he naturally took Feng Qingyue's hand. Feng Qingyue's face turned slightly red, and she tried to break free, but Jun Lingyuan held her tightly.

Jun Lingyuan felt the softness in his hand and felt happy. He whispered, "Qingyue, let's go faster this way." Feng Qingyue snorted and stopped resisting.

Hand in hand, they walked back the way they had come. The setting sun shone on them, stretching their shadows long, as if expressing a silent harmony.

On the way, Jun Lingyuan would occasionally glance sideways at Feng Qingyue, his eyes filled with tenderness. Feng Qingyue noticed his gaze, and a ripple of emotion welled up in her heart, but she feigned composure and stared straight ahead.

Soon, they returned to An Qingyue's residence. The guard at the gate saw the two holding hands, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and bowed respectfully. Jun Lingyuan and Feng Qingyue didn't stop, but walked straight into the residence.

As soon as he entered the house, Lan Qing saw the two holding hands, and he understood a little. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Miss, Master Jun, you are back."

Feng Qingyue shyly let go of Jun Lingyuan's hand, cleared her throat and said, "Well, everything for today has been arranged, everyone should go to bed early."

Jun Lingyuan looked at Feng Qingyue's shy appearance, leaned close to her ear and whispered good night, then walked towards his room.

Feng Qingyue's face flushed red like a ripe cherry when she heard Jun Lingyuan's words and the hot breath in her ear. Her heart couldn't help but beat faster, and she hurried to her room.

Lan Qing looked at this scene, smiled thoughtfully, and secretly sighed that the young lady and Mr. Jun had a very good relationship.
