Chapter 974: Chapter 934: Sit Down and Rest for a While

"Do you really know Prince Dayou? But how did you come to know him? Are you familiar with each other? Why don’t I know anything about this?"

Leng Yu was momentarily shocked and bewildered.

She truly didn’t know that her brother Lin Yi actually knew Prince Dayou, and they were quite familiar.

This made it somewhat difficult for her to accept, as in her understanding, Brother Lin Yi was like an Immortal who descended from the heavens, and logically, he shouldn’t know Prince Dayou.

Didn’t he go straight to the Border Army Camp initially?

Then how come they know each other?

What else is there that I don’t know?

How many things is Brother Lin Yi keeping from me?

Of course, despite the doubts in her heart, Leng Yu refrained from asking directly. After all, if Lin Yi was not intending to speak, Leng Yu wouldn’t intend to ask.

However, seeing the expression on Leng Yu’s face, Lin Yi couldn’t help but reach out, lightly scratching her nose, then flicking her forehead, before explaining:

"This is indeed a long story. Previously, I didn’t know Prince Dayou of Dayou Kingdom. Well, let’s go see him first; you’ll know the whole story once we meet."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to this little girl but directly grabbed her hand and walked forward.

Despite Leng Yu’s face full of questions and a look eager to find out more, she opened her mouth several times but didn’t speak.

At this moment, Leng Yu was practically a big question mark.

But seeing that Brother Lin Yi didn’t want to tell her, she held back, opening her mouth several times but swallowing the words back each time.

Just like that, they encountered several groups of people along the way, all of whom Lin Yi dismissed using the same method.

Of course, throughout this journey, Brother Lin Yi didn’t give out any Jade Pendants, but simply kept sending the Palace Maids and Eunuchs away as they progressed towards the Imperial Council Hall.

Just as Leng Yu couldn’t hold back her doubts and was about to ask, a massive and grand palace appeared before them.

This palace’s scale was much more magnificent and taller than the surrounding ones, its aura alone enough to overshadow the nearby moving palaces.

And hanging over the palace entrance were the three big characters, Imperial Council Hall.

"Alright, we’re here."

As they walked all the way, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel somewhat helpless; this Imperial Palace was really too big, and walking purely by foot within it felt quite far.

Previously, that Chen Shiren was carried on a palanquin.

Nonetheless, Lin Yi didn’t think that way.

In Lin Yi’s view, spending time just walking consumed too much time and wasn’t worthwhile.

Not just himself - even those little Eunuchs, Palace Maids, or ministers entering the palace also waste time this way.

It takes at least half an hour for those ministers to walk from the Royal Palace gates to here, during which a lot could be accomplished.

Because of this, Lin Yi had decided that although carriages are not allowed here, he would equip them with something special: bicycles.

He wanted bicycles to be available for riding in the Imperial Palace, improving everyone’s efficiency significantly.

And this isn’t about recklessly cycling in the Royal Palace; naturally, dedicated pathways would be planned, distinguishing where bicycles travel from main routes where pedestrians don’t need to walk.

Currently, since he planned to rebuild the Capital City, bicycles can just temporarily operate within specific areas.

Once his new city is constructed, this plan would be incorporated.

But that’s a later matter; let’s talk about Leng Yu now.

Looking at the tall and grand hall before her, she suddenly felt a bit timid, looking at the gilded characters and speaking with a slightly trembling voice.

"Brother Lin Yi, should we go in? Do we need to notify them first?"

To this, Lin Yi simply waved his hand, then walked inside with large strides, casually telling Leng Yu:

"Hey, didn’t I tell you before? I know Prince Dayou quite well now; there’s no need for an announcement, let’s go inside."

While speaking, he also raised his wrist to check the time, then continued speaking to Leng Yu beside him:

"It’s just past seven now. Those ministers haven’t arrived yet, so it’s perfect for us to go in and rest for a bit."

Since last time, Lin Yi told them that the morning assembly time changed, setting it to start at eight-thirty.

And now it’s just past seven, and the ministers should be waiting outside the palace gates.

After all, the court also has time requirements; although Lin Yi changed it to eight-thirty, no one is allowed inside the Imperial Palace before eight.

Or rather, no one is allowed in the area where this palace is located; they can only wait in the resting area not far from the palace gates.

Saying this without giving Leng Yu any opportunity to speak, he pulled her along directly, heading up the steps towards the Imperial Council Hall.

Quickly, under their feet, they reached the Imperial Council Hall’s entrance.

Looking at the closed gates, Leng Yu felt the urge to retreat again, holding Lin Yi’s clothes and cautiously speaking:

"Brother Lin Yi, how about we wait outside for a while? If His Majesty hasn’t come in yet, we might make him unhappy by entering abruptly."

Who knew, just as her voice fell, Lin Yi had already reached out and opened the closed gates.

Leng Yu found it hard to say anything after this, observing around, relieved to find no one inside or outside the hall, allowing her to breathe a long sigh of relief.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Yi’s lips curled slightly into a mischievous smile.

Thus, the two stepped inside the Imperial Council Hall’s doors, with Lin Yi looking quite relaxed while Leng Yu nervously sweated from her palms.

"Just as no one is here, we’ve walked a long way and are tired, let’s sit and rest for a while."

Upon entering, Lin Yi immediately pointed to the dragon chair at the top.
