Her enchanting beauty, with phoenix eyes exuding authority without anger, and a touch of vermilion between her eyebrows, displayed her elegance and nobility.

Compared to a year ago when she disappeared, she now undoubtedly possessed an even more extraordinary and magnificent aura! She slowly walked from behind the hall and sat on the dragon throne that had been empty for over a year. Discover stories at empire

The courtiers were stupefied! Was this still the female Emperor who was rumored to ignore state affairs? Why did she appear completely free of any signs of incompetence or decline? On the contrary, she exuded an aura befitting a ruler!

When Sima Qin knelt down first, the resounding chants of "Long live our Emperor" echoed in the Throne Room as the courtiers followed suit. Wu Fan\'s gaze tightened, and he hurriedly knelt down as well.

"Rise," Mu Yuyan said, overlooking the courtiers, her lips lightly parting. The courtiers expressed their gratitude and slowly straightened their backs.

At this moment, Mu Yuyan\'s cool gaze continued to fall on Wu Fan, asking, "General Wu Wei, I heard you have a better suggestion. Why not speak it now?"

All the courtiers looked at Wu Fan simultaneously, their eyes revealing a sense of sympathy.

Knowing his dissatisfaction with the female Emperor on ordinary days, they didn\'t expect him to collide head-on with the Prime Minister today.

"Your Majesty jests. Now that you are here, how could a humble minister dare to make any proposals?"

Wu Fan smiled with a slightly flushed face. He was a wise man; even if he harbored grievances, he had to endure for now. He couldn\'t erupt in front of the female Emperor, who possessed genuine Sword Immortal cultivation!

"Very well, let the court proceed as usual," Mu Yuyan said without pressing him further, exchanging a glance with Liu Yexi. Liu Yexi understood and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, recently, the Imperial Announcements Bureau discovered a workshop near Dongzhi Street..."

She went on to explain the matter Mu Yuyan had mentioned earlier. After the courtiers listened, Mu Yuyan directly said, "Gentlemen, who owns this private business? It\'s better to admit it now. I can be lenient."

As she spoke, the courtiers nervously exchanged glances, pondering whether their businesses were in question. No one wanted their shady dealings exposed by the female Emperor as soon as she returned.

After a while, with no one confessing, Mu Yuyan, feeling a bit impatient, took a deep breath and said, "Since it\'s not your fault, then I won\'t hesitate... Prime Minister, you handle this matter."

Sima Qin nodded respectfully, "I obey your command!"

With this matter settled, a eunuch behind the female Emperor took a look at the situation and stepped forward, announcing, "Any other business to report, or else the court is dismissed!"

At this moment, the Minister of Works stepped forward with his token, "Your Majesty, I have a matter to report!"

Mu Yuyan looked at him.

"I wonder if Your Majesty remembers the agricultural tool blueprints that Lord Liu brought a few months ago... The Ministry of Works reproduced a batch of those blueprints, and now they are being used in the fields on the western outskirts of the capital, yielding a bountiful harvest."

"I earnestly request an increase in the production of these agricultural tools. If they can be popularized among the common people, the Great Jing\'s national treasury is bound to multiply several times within a year!"

Upon hearing this, the courtiers showed expressions of confusion. Agricultural tools? The Emperor, who had long resided in the deep palace, could actually develop agricultural tools?

Could it be that she wasn\'t just amusing herself in the palace but drawing blueprints for farming tools?

Moreover, what kind of novel agricultural tools could make the Minister of Works speak in such a manner? Looking at the Minister of Works\' serious expression, it didn\'t seem like he was flattering...Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

In the midst of the courtiers\' perplexity, Mu Yuyan, upon hearing this, was reminded of the scenes in Gu Residence when Gu Lan explained those ingenious inventions to her. Three days without seeing him, and she really missed him...

A charming smile bloomed on the female Emperor\'s delicate and pretty face.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" Liu Yexi noticed that something was amiss and hurriedly reminded her.

After a moment, Mu Yuyan regained her composure, and her jade-like face returned to its calm state. "Ahem, indeed, this item is truly ingenious. At that time, it was quite taxing on my mind... Your suggestion is approved; let the Ministry of Works proceed with it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Minister of Works returned to his position with satisfaction.

The courtiers watched him with a "meritorious deed" expression, even more doubtful. Could it be that the Emperor truly invented sophisticated agricultural tools? And the production could multiply several times?!

The female Emperor, hidden away in the deep palace, unexpectedly considered the well-being of the common people, which was a bit too unbelievable!

Among the courtiers, only Liu Yexi understood.

She stole a glance at the female Emperor and thought, "Your Majesty is quite bold. Taking possession of the extraordinary inventions created by the Lord without any acknowledgment, tut tut!"

Mu Yuyan noticed her gaze, and a bit embarrassed, she gave her a slight reprimanding look with a slightly flushed face.

Half an hour later, the discussion in the hall covered significant matters of the Jing Nation, including the prolonged war with the demon realm and the relations with the other three dynasties.

Although there were no specific items indicating changes in the Jing Nation, after this morning court session, the courtiers inexplicably felt that the Jing Nation... seemed somewhat different from a year ago when the female Emperor disappeared!

The originally declining national fortune seemed to be quietly reversed by an unseen hand!

......

At this moment, Gu Lan woke up in the Cloudy Inn. After a simple wash, he woke up Zhongren and left together.

They went to the land deed firm to complete the transaction, and a middle-aged man with a smiling face came out to guide him. First, they went to see the house near Dongzhi Gate.

Gu Lan didn\'t have many requirements for the house. He just wanted to check if there were enough rooms to accommodate his large family.

Arriving at the place, the house seemed clean. It was a three-section compound, modestly renovated, similar to the neighboring houses, not ostentatious.

"It\'s okay; you can leave. We\'ll take a look around here," Gu Lan nodded to the man, expressing satisfaction.

Then he and Zhongren strolled around the Residence. It seemed that the little brother also liked it here.

He sighed, saying that if everyone moved in, it would be livelier than Tianji Mountain!

Gu Lan took him to a guest room in the east wing and told him that he would be staying here in the future.

Next door was Lindan\'s room, and their master bedroom was enough to help him shield the power of Heavenly Condemnation.

Zhongren nodded vigorously.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he sniffed towards the east wall.

"What\'s wrong?" Gu Lan sipped tea and asked curiously.

"Big Brother Gu, haven\'t you smelled it? A scent... burnt," Zhongren said, pointing his small nose and sniffing towards the east wall. "It\'s not about hunger. It\'s another kind of burning smell, like the scent lingering in the air when setting off firecrackers during the New Year."

Gu Lan chuckled, "Are you hungry?"

"No, it\'s not. It\'s a different kind of burning, like the smell in the air when setting off firecrackers during the New Year," Zhongren frowned, speaking seriously.

Gu Lan suppressed his smile and also sniffed the air. Indeed, in the direction of the east window, there seemed to be a faint... sulfur smell?!

"At a time like this, who would be setting off firecrackers?" Gu Lan murmured to himself, shaking his head. But considering the safety of his family, he decided to investigate the source of this smell. So, he immediately took his little brother out of the house.

Unexpectedly, as they reached the entrance, three to five martial artists with knives approached, following an angrily dressed young man in luxurious clothes.

When the young man saw Gu Lan\'s appearance, he quickened his pace as if afraid that Gu Lan would run away.

Three to five people hurried over to surround Gu Lan and the young Daoist.
