Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower (1)

"Not bad, not bad!" These were Ye Lang's words upon seeing the plan.

"Hmph!" This defiant snort came from Cold-Blooded Seventh.

At that time, Ye Lang was sitting on the balcony of the Bamboo Heart Pavilion, where he could see the outside world at a glance, a place that was loved by many people.

At this moment, Ye Lang was sitting in one of the seats, one person per table. Cold-Blooded Seventh, under the pretext of sharing a table, sat down with him. Cold-Blooded Fifth, who had originally planned to keep her distance from Ye Lang, also readily came over and sat down when she saw Cold-Blooded Seventh doing so.

Ye Lang found it strange at the time. Didn't he say he would pretend not to know her?

"Don't ask questions. We're just strangers sharing a table. It's perfectly normal. Don't try to avoid it. That will only arouse suspicion!" Cold-Blooded Seventh said quietly before Ye Lang could speak.

Oh, I see. This is really nothing.

Ye Lang ignored Cold-Blooded Seventh and continued ordering food and eating, seemingly paying attention to the situation across from him.

"What are you looking at?" Cold-Blooded Seventh was communicating with Ye Lang using a secret code from the Cold-Blooded Group. This code was transmitted through a special tool used by the Cold-Blooded Group —a very sophisticated alchemical tool, quite expensive.

This special tool has a wide range of applications and is only available to senior members of the Cold-Blooded Group, and Ye Lang happens to have one.

Their communication wasn't through language, but through Morse code-like coded messages. This way, even if someone took their tools, the Cold-Blooded Group's secrets wouldn't be leaked.

"I'm looking at that 'Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower' across the street," Ye Lang replied.

"The 'Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower'? Isn't that yours?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked. "But I heard it was recently taken away by someone, apparently from the Li Family, someone connected to Li Yue."

"Yes, that's where I met Little Zero yesterday, and she kicked that guy named Li Yan out. I think something's going to happen there," Ye Lang said.

"What is it?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked.

"I don't know!" That was Ye Lang's straightforward answer.

"You don't know? Then what are you waiting for?" Both Cold-Blooded Seventh and Cold-Blooded Fifth were a little puzzled.

Ye Lang looked at the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower and replied to the two women, "I had a feeling something was going to happen, but I don't know what it will be!"

"..." Cold-Blooded Fifth and Cold-Blooded Seventh fell silent. They could only stay with Ye Lang and watch to see if anything would happen.

Of course, on the surface, the three of them were all doing their own thing, and had nothing to do with each other!

Time passed slowly, and the opposite side remained calm. This led the two women, Cold-Blooded Fifth, to believe that Ye Lang's intuition was wrong, and that he might be making another mistake.

Just when Ye Lang and his two companions thought nothing had happened, and even Ye Lang himself thought he might have made a mistake, just as they were getting up to leave after their meal, the incident indeed occurred!

A squad of soldiers clad in black armor appeared in perfect formation on the street below, surrounding the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower. Then, another squad of soldiers arrived, including an officer who looked like a knight, who commanded the black-armored soldiers to arrest everyone inside.

Then, the Wind Flower Snow Moon Tower, was sealed off again!

At this point, although there seem to be quite a few people arrested, compared to the number of people arrested yesterday, there are very few left!

Most people decided not to come here because of what Ye Lang said yesterday, and some of the girls here have also left because of Ye Lang, so there are very few people here.

At this moment, those who left or didn't come here must be glad they made the decision, otherwise they would have been involved.

Conversely, those who were caught at this time deeply regretted not heeding the advice!

Especially those girls, they now regret not leaving with Ding Lin, and some even laughed at Ding Lin for being too timid, leaving after being scared by such a commotion.

Now they realize how foolish they were!

However, neither they nor the others could understand why this place had been sealed off again, and why they themselves had been punished for entering without permission, with no leniency whatsoever.

What's going on?

This place wasn't opened by the Li Family, so why is it now shut down? Who can be more powerful than the Li Family right now?

Of course, it's the current Empress. These black-armored soldiers are her direct guard—the Black-Clad Guards, all elites among elites, masters among masters!

This group of people usually doesn't appear in ordinary places, and if they do, it's usually because something has happened, and it's something very serious.

This is also what everyone doesn't understand: why are these people here? Did the Li Family do something wrong?

The Li Family was also confused about this a few hours earlier, when Li Yan was summoned and told that the Empress wanted to see him.

When Li Yan heard the Empress's summons, he was incredibly excited. At that moment, he felt that the Empress would surely reward him, and he felt that he had done some things in the past that deserved recognition.

In fact, the Li Family did do some work for Li Yan, helping him complete certain tasks, which could make his future brighter.

Of course, Li Tianjun and the others did not think that Li Yan's tasks would warrant special rewards from the Empress, as these were not on that level.

However, it's not impossible. Perhaps the Empress was doing this because of the Li Family, as a favor to the Li Family!

However, before the answer is revealed, no one will think that this is necessarily a good thing; perhaps Li Yan did something wrong and was punished by the Empress.

However, even if Li Yan did something wrong, it shouldn't have alarmed the Empress!

Because of this, the Li Family thought it would be a good thing, and Li Yan should be able to receive some reward, though they didn't know how big or small it would be.

Regardless, Li Yan was very excited. Wearing what he considered to be his most handsome formal attire, he entered the palace!

At that time, Li Tianjun was still in the Imperial Palace. Like other ministers, he was discussing national affairs with Zhao Yarou and issuing orders one after another.

Although Zhao Yarou was a bit abnormal, she was indeed very capable of managing the country, far surpassing the late emperor, perhaps because of her ruthlessness.

That's why, after a year or two, the Xiangkong Empire no longer has any opposing voices, and there's even a public voice supporting Zhao Yarou.

The same principle applies: ordinary people don't care who the emperor is or how he came to power; they only care whether the emperor can do good things!
