In the past, the previous Emperor of Song was weak and maintained his traditional way of thinking, whereas Emperor Lin had always looked ahead and remained vigilant. Since Emperor Lin was always alert, he would heighten that awareness now that the ruling monarch of the Song Empire had changed. Should a war break out, the peace between the three empires would be broken. Moreover, if the Great Lin Empire and the Song Empire were at war, the Yong Kingdom would definitely not remain on the sidelines. This could also cause a restless war between various belligerent ethnic groups.

After Lin Ting finished speaking, he thought of something and hesitantly said, “But…with the new ruler of the Song Empire being this capable, the Song Empire would only grow stronger and stronger in the future. If we were to take them down, now would be the best time to do so.”

Taking advantage of his illness to kill the previous monarch, the new Emperor ascended the throne. With so many things happening, the Song Empire would definitely be in turmoil. To have a war start now might be a fortune amongst misfortunes.

It all depended on how Emperor Lin was going to see things.

Lin Ting picked up a crystal dumpling with his chopsticks and gave it to his sister, who looked disappointed, “Don’t think too much about it; let’s eat.”

Lin Feilu nodded and began to eat obediently, but she still felt that the food was rather tasteless. After eating, the group went out to buy some autumn clothing.

Once they started shopping for clothes, Lin Feilu finally regained her interest. As soon as one of the store bosses saw her, he knew she was an important customer. Hence, he enthusiastically recommended the new styles in the store to her and kept asking the maidservant to help the lady try the new outfits.

Lin Feilu chose ten sets in one go and tried them all one by one. The maidservant of the store, who helped her try the clothes, looked beautiful, but her words were sweeter than honey. She praised Lin Feilu’s looks from head to toe to the point where flowers could practically start blooming.

Lin Feilu said, “Okay, that’s enough. Let’s wrap this up.”

The maidservant smiled and lowered her head to help the Princess fasten her belt. But suddenly, she stuffed something into her clothing.

Lin Feilu was a martial artist, so she swiftly reacted. She pushed the maidservant a few steps away from her with one palm, “What are you doing?!”

The maidservant was still smiling, “The Lady is very closely guarded, so I can only send His Majesty’s reply this way.”

Lin Feilu was already touching the hilt of her blade that was meant for self-defence, but upon hearing those words, her fingers stopped moving abruptly upon hearing those words.

She stared blankly at the maidservant for a while and asked, “What reply?”

The maidservant bowed towards her and said with a smile, “Of course, it is His Majesty’s reply. Before this, the Young Lady stayed on top of Qinshan Mountain. Since this servant couldn’t get into the Thousand Blades Sect, I could only wait at the foot of the mountain. Yesterday, the Young Lady finally descended from the mountain, but the guards around you were very cautious. It was difficult for this servant to approach the Young Lady, but I heard that you were going to buy some autumn outfits, so I waited here specifically. If the Young Lady wants to reply to His Majesty in the future, you only need to look for the signboard of the Golden Boutique. Someone will transfer the correspondence after you hand over the letter to this shop.”

Lin Feilu’s heart thumped twice before she finally reacted.

It was Song Jinglan who replied to her.

Her mood was very conflicted for a while, and she glanced around, “This… is this merely meant for your Song Empire’s secret communication?”
