Xiao Lan glanced at You An who was still kneeling on the ground. The corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer. She wouldn't!

The next moment, Xiao Lan quickly took a step forward. With a resolute expression, he tightly gripped Cangan's arm and pulled her up.

His eyes were wide open as he looked at Xiao Lan with a complicated expression.

"Lanyi, no, the Regent's Consort, you …"

Why? Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Lan gave him a beautiful smile.

Brother, even if I become the Regent's Consort, you are still my big brother. Good men kneel to the heavens and to the earth to kneel to their parents, what reason would there be for them to kneel to their own little sister. In the future, don't kneel anymore.

Xiao Lan's words caused everyone in the courtyard to be stunned.

What a good saying, "A good man kneels in heaven and kneels in the earth, kneeling to his parents." These words were not strange, but it was rare for a woman to say it out loud with such sincerity and determination.

Xuanyuan Wentian's dark eyes became even more profound.

You An couldn't stop herself from staring blankly at Xiao Lan, and her eyes were like thick ink that couldn't melt, causing her to be unable to breathe.

If the Emperor didn't grant her a marriage, and if Lan Yi didn't marry the Regent, then his eyes would be as bright as the sun, and wouldn't it be possible for a woman with an imposing aura to stay by his side for a few more days …

It was not long before Windy, who was standing in the distance, noticed the absent-mindedness in You An's eyes and warned him in a low voice.

"I wonder what business does Commander Wei have with the Prince?"

Like the wind, his words caused You An to quickly recover. He had no choice but to take another firm step back and smile faintly at Xiao Lan.

"This humble subject knows what wangfei means, but the rules of the ceremonial palace are insurmountable. Wangfei, do not use your righteous spirit to your advantage."

As soon as he finished speaking, he faced Xuanyuan Yun, his expression extremely solemn. He was afraid that Xiao Lan would say something else.

"Regent, this humble subject came to discuss the matter of forging crossbows in the Wolong Pavilion. This humble subject wishes to go with you."

As soon as those words were said, Xiao Lan and Xuanyuan Yun simultaneously looked towards Wei An, but their expressions were completely different.

Xuanyuan Wentian was indifferent, and he had already guessed what was going on. However, Xiao Lan was secretly shocked, and there was even a faint hint of panic.

Although Xiao Lan tried his best to hide his true emotions, Xuanyuan Yun was still able to keenly sense them. When he looked towards You An, he could not help but give Xiao Lan a few glances as well.

Xuanyuan Yun quietly withdrew his gaze and spoke with an indifferent tone.

"It's not impossible for Commander Wei to follow me to the Sleeping Dragon Pavilion. It's just that Commander Wei left the military camp, who will take care of it?"

"This humble subject has already made all the arrangements. You may rest assured, Lord Regent."

Xuanyuan Yun nodded his head with an indifferent expression, but in the next second he suddenly looked towards Xiao Lan.

"This King's consort seems to have something to say."

Hearing Xuanyuan Feng's words, everyone looked at Xiao Lan in confusion.

Xiao Lan slowly turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Wentian. "This man, is he using the Fiery Eyes of Truth?"

She had already appeared very calm, but he had seen through her without any suspense.

Xiao Lan strode back to the stone table and slowly picked up the piece of paper she had drawn. Her voice revealed an unfathomable depth.

"What is the Wolong Pavilion doing?"

Xiao Lan raised his eyes to look at Xuanyuan Yun.

"Forging weapons, especially rare weapons in the world."

"Can they forge the weapons on this piece of paper?"

Xuanyuan Wentian's gaze became increasingly focused as he looked at Xiao Lan. After a moment, his lips curled up slightly.

"Yes."

The moment this word fell, Xiao Lan's fingers, which were holding the paper, abruptly tightened.

Yes!

Xiao Lan intentionally lowered her gaze, looking as though she was staring at a piece of paper, but in reality, her expression was extremely heavy.

When she had drawn the crossbows that day, she had not thought too much about it. She had only thought about it as a pleasure for Toohey, but after thinking about it she had wanted to feel that she had made a terrible mistake.

Once these things were spread out and forged, the world would fall into unimaginable chaos, because no matter which country obtained such a powerful bow and weapon, the Emperor would not willingly defend one land and then give orders to invade the other countries, thereby fulfilling the dream of unity within the hearts of all the emperors.

Later on, she felt that forging these weapons required a lot of materials that were not easy to obtain, and in addition, they were extremely important materials. It was impossible for people of this era to forge these weapons, but she never thought that someone would actually be able to do it here!

At this moment, how could Xiao Lan not panic. Even if she was not a kind person, she did not want to become a great villain who stirred up conflict and plunged tens of thousands of citizens into fire and water.

The crowd didn't know what was going on with Xiao Lan, they only felt that she was extremely strange.

Only Xuanyuan Yun had clearly seen Xiao Lan's expression in her heart, and for a moment, it was the first time that his heart was complicated and hard to discern its fierceness.

In the end, he thought too simply of this woman.

A moment later, Xiao Lan raised her head to look at Xuanyuan Yun, her voice carrying a tone of negotiation that had never been seen before.

"Can you bring me along with you?"

Xiao Lan's words caused everyone in the courtyard to be stunned.

Bring her?

Princess Hua-Yang and a woman … Why would she go to the Wolong Pavilion?

Xuanyuan Yun looked at Xiao Lan with a deep and profound gaze. "Reason."

Xiao Lan clenched the piece of paper tightly.

"After all, these weapons came from me. If the blacksmiths were to ask, I would have answered them more clearly."

Xiao Lan's words made sense. At least, Yu-An and the others nodded in agreement.

Xuanyuan Yun swept his gaze across everyone's expressions and slowly curled the corner of his mouth. Facing Xiao Lan, he gave an enigmatic smile.

"Since Princess Hua-Yang's reasoning is so reasonable, This King naturally cannot refuse. Prepare yourself. We will set off together in two days."

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yun stood up and left the Orchid Garden with steady steps.

Before he left, he had left with a few words of concern. Xiao Lan had answered all of them, but Xiao Lan had not remembered what he had heard from You An.

At this moment, the most important thing in her heart was Sleeping Dragon Pavilion.

Even if she had to delay the matter with the Profound Spirit Bead for a while, even if she could leave, she could not do such a reckless act that would harm tens of thousands of people.

Xiao Lan lowered his head to once again look at the script in his hand and could not help but ruthlessly admonish himself for flipping it.

Why do you owe me so much? Do you know how to show off? Why are you drawing this?!

When she heard that Xiao Lan was going to travel far away, the red lotus quickly ran to Xiao Lan's side and started consoling her with a worried expression.

"Princess, you can't go. Your body is just right, but you can't handle this carriage."

Xiao Lan wordlessly folded the piece of paper in her hand and told the red lotus in an incontestable manner after she had properly packed it up.

"There's no need for further words. Pack your things and set off with the prince in two days."

Seeing that Xiao Lan's attitude was both firm and ice-cold, the red lotus didn't dare to say anything else and obediently packed her things.
