Back in the bedroom, Qiuyue finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Your Highness, I have a problem!"
"Oh?" Ning Wanjun glanced at her sideways, "Tell me about it?"
"There is obviously something wrong with Xia Fan! Not to mention that he has no objection to monsters. He can even say things that lack common sense such as burning salt for himself. He does not look like a normal person at all! Not to mention that he is in front of you. You act wantonly and don't know etiquette. You asked me before whether I was questioning your judgment or targeting Xia Fan. Now I have the answer!"
The princess sat on the bench with interest, "What is the answer?"
Qiuyue puffed up her cheeks, as if gathering courage, and after a moment she said loudly, "Both!"
"I'm questioning your judgment, and I also think there's something wrong with the other party. Ever since you observed him at close range, you've paid too much attention to him. If you weren't also a Qi-sensing person, I would have doubted whether you were possessed by something that attracts souls. Technique!" she said in one breath.
"Abnormal?" Ning Wanjun raised the corner of her mouth, "It's not normal - that's how he should be."
"My maid doesn't understand what you are talking about," Qiuyue gritted her teeth and walked to the princess, knelt down and said, "But my maid wants to know the reason why you did this."
"What if I don't tell you?"
"My maid can never feel at ease!"
The princess looked at her for a long time before sighing slightly, "I know you are loyal to me. You have blocked fatal attacks for me on the battlefield before, so I don't want to tell you. This is related to something in the Privy Council House. It’s a big secret. It’s understandable that the royal family knows it, but it’s different for you. Telling it may actually harm you.”
"My servant is not afraid!"
"Forget it," the princess stretched out her feet, "Actually, I've wanted to say it for a long time."
"Eh?" Qiuyue looked surprised, but her movements did not lag at all. She held the sole of the other person's foot with one hand and began to massage it skillfully.
This was the princess's favorite way to relax when she was in the military camp.
"Isn't it torture for you to know a secret that you don't need to keep? It's so interesting but no one can share it. It's such a pity."
"Uh..." Qiuyue couldn't help but start to wonder if she still had the choice to regret it.
Looking at the posture, the princess seemed to have been waiting for her to ask.
"Have you ever heard of the Listener?" Ning Wanjun closed her eyes comfortably, "A type of incredible Qi-sensing person who can hear messages that are not circulating in the world."
"Listener?" Qiuyue repeated subconsciously, "Are you sure it's not an auditory hallucination?"
Snapped!
The princess gave her a slap on the back of the head and leaned back on the chair again. "Will the auditory hallucinations make the Privy Council guard against the enemy?"
"Oh, you are right."
"Some of these messages are spells, and some are secrets, but without exception, they are all worth thousands of dollars, and can even cause uproar in the world. Precisely because the source of the messages is strange and incomprehensible, it is normal for the listeners to be different from ordinary people. "
"You mean, Xia Fan is the listener?"
"He once let slip that if he hadn't seen other things, he would have made the same choice as me." The princess chuckled, "Most people just think it sounds a little strange, but to the listener, this The words become a stated fact.”
"Would it be too hasty to rely on just one sentence?" Qiuyue was still a little doubtful, "Your Highness, you have never seen a real listener before, right?"
"Of course, do you think the listener is a cabbage growing in the ground?" Ning Wanjun rolled her eyes, "Besides, what I care about is not a title, but the changes he can actually bring about. For example, the problem of the salt industry , since he said he wants to solve it himself, what can I say to veto it? Just because I can’t do it, do I think others can’t do it?”
"Since the listeners are so incredible, why should the Privy Council suppress information about them?" Qiuyue asked in confusion, "Can't we summon them together to serve the Privy Council?"
"Because those who listen to the rumors will lead to the destruction of the country." Ning Wanjun wrote lightly.
The maid took a breath of cold air, "Destroy the country? Wouldn't that mean -"
"Isn't it nothing?" She grinned, "For me, isn't that just right?"
Qiuyue was silent for a moment, then said with difficulty, "This... must be a rumor."
"Indeed, I think so too." The princess's answer made the maid sigh with relief. "The rise and fall of a kingdom cannot be decided by just one person. I guess the reason why I say this is because the Holy One... No, it should be None of the six countries in the world want to see another Yongguo."
Qiuyue looked confused.
Seeing her like this, Ning Wanjun shrugged, "Forget it, I'll tell you another secret." She said word by word, "It is said that the last emperor of Yongguo was the listener."
The latter was stunned.
"Now that you've heard the secret, it's time to get down to business." Ning Wanjun retracted her feet, "Go and get the pen and paper ready. I want to write a letter to Gyeonggi."
…
"Miss, what are your orders from Her Highness the Princess?" the guard who was called asked politely.
Although Qiuyue is a maid on the surface, everyone around the third princess knows that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, so no one will really treat her as a slave.
"His Highness requires you to send this letter to the Gyeonggi Privy Council House as quickly as possible and hand it over to a Recording Department official named Luo Shiqi."
Qiuyue handed a tightly wrapped paper bag into his hands, "After that, you will wait in Gyeonggi. Once the other party gives a reply, you will bring the news back immediately."
"I understand, this matter is easy to handle." The guard carefully put the paper bag into his pocket.
"Also, I would like you to help me deliver a letter along the way."
"Oh? No problem. Who do you want to give it to?"
Qiuyue took out another letter, "Mr. Yun from the Ministry of Industry."
"Master Yun... doesn't he have a more specific name?" the guard said slightly surprised.
"As long as you go to the Ministry of Industry, someone will naturally tell you who Young Master Yun is." Mentioning Young Master Yun, Qiu Yue's tone became brisk, "This person is the treasure of the Machine Building Bureau, even Ba Xingtian is right He was full of praise and said that the young master can withstand an army."
He knew Ba Xingtian, a famous general in Qi State, who claimed to be able to defeat a hundred with one on the battlefield, but a hundred men was still a far cry from an entire army.
To be praised so highly by the guard, the guards couldn't help but become curious about this person.
"If His Highness has no other instructions, then I will set off." He said after putting away the second letter.
Although it is still dark at this time, traveling day and night is a common thing for messengers.
"Go ahead."
After Qiuyue watched the guards go away, she let out a deep breath.
Although I just heard seemingly incredible news from the princess, it was just His Highness's speculation after all.
With her experience and intelligence, she could not discern His Highness's guess, but she knew someone who could.
In terms of wisdom alone, Mr. Yun is the most dazzling person she has ever seen.
And before the princess went to the army, the two had a harmonious time together. The other party had privately mentioned his admiration for the princess and was willing to help her solve any difficulties to the best of his ability.
Now may be that difficult moment, Qiuyue thought to herself.
Mr. Yun, I can only help you so far.
