Wu You's question made Jun Lingyun speechless for a moment. Since he was given to Chu Yunxi, naturally he should listen to Chu Yunxi.
He took a deep look at the closed palace door, then turned around and went back to his bedroom.
The poor maids who brought the meals followed Jun Lingyun in a wide circle, but were pushed back again.
The bright moon was rising higher and higher. Jun Lingyun was lying down with his clothes on, but the more he lay down, the more awake he became.
Suddenly, he felt blessed and remembered something. He sat up suddenly. Could it be that the stream was gone and he was dreaming?
At this moment, light footsteps came from outside the palace door. Jun Lingyun quickly lay down and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Chu Yunxi walked lightly to the bed and saw that Jun Lingyun was already asleep. After thinking for a moment, she called him softly.
"Ling Yun?"
No response? She moved closer.
"Ling Yun?"
Chu Yunxi got closer and closer, and suddenly Jun Lingyun stretched out his long arms to embrace him, turned over, and pushed him underneath him.
"ah!"
Chu Yunxi exclaimed, and then met Jun Lingyun's hot eyes.
"You, you haven't slept yet?"
"I fell asleep and was woken up by you again."
Jun Lingyun's face was full of desire and dissatisfaction. Being too close, Chu Yunxi's heartbeat began to beat uncontrollably, but thinking of business, she quickly pushed Jun Lingyun.
"That's just right. Find me a topographic map quickly. I wish you can achieve what you want."
Jun Lingyun's eyes brightened even more. Sure enough, had he guessed it right? He had no choice but to let Chu Yunxi go for the time being, got up and fetched a topographic map, laying it out on the table.
Chu Yunxi brought a few candles closer and looked at the topographic map carefully. Jun Lingyun was already studying the ink. When Chu Yunxi remembered that she needed pen and ink, Jun Lingyun had already given the brush to her hand.
Chu Yunxi didn't show any pretense. She smiled sweetly at Jun Lingyun, then took the brush and circled four places on the topographic map.
One place is in the territory of Dongyi Kingdom, and the other is in the territory of Beiman Kingdom.
The other two places are both in Yunxiao Kingdom. Coincidentally, one is Wanling Mountain where Tianxia Academy is now located, which is also the former site of Sikong Academy. The other place is Qingfeng Mountain in Li City!
"Ling Yun, here are the refined iron ores you want. There are also drawings of the ballista. If you want them, I can draw them for you."
Jun Lingyun was slightly shocked. You must know that ores are buried deep underground. To find any mine, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as the right time and place, and chance to find it.
However, Chu Yunxi could so easily know the location of the four mines, which were rare concentrated iron ores. With these resources, he could be ahead of other countries in terms of weapons.
"Did you also know these in the library tower in your dream?"
Jun Lingyun asked seriously, Chu Yunxi nodded with a smile, she was very happy that she could help Jun Lingyun in the slightest.
"Well, if there is anything else you want to know, just tell me and I will help you find the answer."
Jun Lingyun finally understood what it felt like to have a mobile library tower that was all-encompassing.
He also suddenly understood why Chu Yunxi must set up a college.
If he had such vast knowledge but could not teach it, it would be Chu Yunxi's regret and a loss to the people of the world.
However, Jun Lingyun's current thoughts are not on those refined iron ores.
"Xi'er, besides me, does anyone else know about the book tower in your dream?"
Chu Yunxi shook his head.
"I only told you one person."
Jun Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. If someone with evil intentions knew about this, they would want to get Chu Yunxi at all costs.
"You can't tell anyone about this, even your father-in-law and mother-in-law. You can't reveal even a little bit. I'm afraid you will be in danger. Do you understand?"
Chu Yunxi felt warm in her heart. In that yard today, she could see the desire in Jun Lingyun's eyes. But now that what he desperately wanted was right in front of him, Jun Lingyun put her safety first.
Chu Yunxi gently hugged Jun Lingyun's waist and leaned her face on his chest.
"Ling Yun, don't worry, I know the severity. I don't want to be locked up as a lunatic."
Jun Lingyun hugged Chu Yunxi tightly. This was the person he wanted to protect even if he did everything he could, and he didn't want her to be put in any danger again.
After kissing Chu Yunxi lightly on the forehead, Jun Lingyun picked her up and put her on the bed.
"Xi'er, you go to bed first, I'll make arrangements and I'll be back with you soon."
"Well, okay."
Chu Yunxi responded obediently. She knew that in war, time is of the essence. If the refined iron ore could be mined as soon as possible and an indestructible weapon could be built, the Yunxiao Kingdom would have more security.
Watching Jun Lingyun leave, Chu Yunxi recalled what the envoys from the four countries said during the day.
Jun Lingyun will definitely send people to investigate the person behind it, whether it's for Yunxiao Kingdom or her.
Does she want to tell Jun Lingyun everything about her mentor?
There is a genocide feud between his mentor and the emperor. Will Jun Lingyun be in a dilemma between his father, himself, and his mentor?
Will her mentor be in danger? His situation must be very difficult, so he cannot show up at her wedding.
But even if she didn't say anything, Jun Lingyun would definitely send someone to investigate, not only for the sake of Yunxiao Kingdom, but also for her.
While Chu Yunxi was thinking, she saw that Jun Lingyun had returned. She put away her thoughts and moved inside to make room for Jun Lingyun.
"Xi'er, aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm a little hungry and can't sleep."
She wasn't lying. There was no need for dinner and she was thinking a lot. She was indeed hungry.
"Come here, pass the meal." Jun Lingyun ordered the palace guards who were keeping watch at night.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Oh, goodbye, it's too late, so don't work in the kitchen."
Chu Yunxi quickly stopped her. She could hold on to eating until the morning.
"There is no need for dinner, I am also hungry."
Jun Lingyun stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Yunxi to stand up.
"Why didn't you use dinner?"
Chu Yunxi opened her curious eyes, and Jun Lingyun looked at her helplessly. She was such a heartless little thing. He deliberately kept a straight face.
"Before you do anything in the future, please explain clearly to me first. And your two secret guards, how come they are all used as bodyguards?"
Wu You, Wu Lu? The two of them guarded the palace gate for her today, while she slept inside the palace.
She thought she had already told Jun Lingyun that there was a library tower in her dream, and Jun Lingyun should understand.
But he ignored that she only said once that Jun Lingyun didn't know what books were in her library tower.
Could it be that Jun Lingyun didn't have dinner because he was worried about her? Chu Yunxi shook Jun Lingyun's sleeves somewhat unreasonably and spoke softly.
"It's all because I was too impatient and didn't think carefully."
Jun Lingyun was so shaken by her that she pulled her to the dining table and sat down. The palace servants had already placed a table full of food. Jun Lingyun said coldly:
"Eat first, later, count the crimes and punish them."
"Count, count the crimes and punish them at the same time?"
Chu Yunxi remembered that on the carriage, her hand patted the noble prince's head without any control. She felt that life was difficult.
"Ling Yun, Princess Shengya is leaving Beijing tomorrow, and I want to see her off. You see, it's already past midnight. If you don't sleep well, you won't have any energy tomorrow."
