Yang Xiaoxun left the prison and looked at the sky, feeling the warm sun on her skin. Simultaneously, Su Binglan came out after talking to everyone and went to the palace to tell her brother something.

Lan Ruozhu had informed his people to let Su Binglan in without her having to announce herself. It was a unique privilege that only a few had. Everyone knew the new royal princess was dear to the new emperor.

They also understood that they could not offend Su Binglan as Emperor Lan Ruozhu and Duke Wei Jin’an protected her.

That morning, Lan Ruozhu was in the royal study reading memorials. Since he had just taken the emperor position, he had many things to deal with. Even so, Chu Country flourished.

“Greetings, His Imperial Highness.”

Lan Ruozhu knew it was his sister just by her voice. He happily said,

“Welcome, Sister. I told you not to call me that.”

Su Binglan smiled. “We have to follow the rules, don’t we? I must call you that in public but will call you Big Brother in private.”

Lan Ruozhu said dotingly, “It seems even I can’t control you. What brings you here, Sister?”

Although he had many things to do after becoming the emperor, he missed his sister very much. Su Binglan had also been busy before this, so she finally had time to visit the palace.

Lan Ruozhu was in an excellent mood when he saw Su Binglan. He felt motivated and that everything he did as an emperor was meaningful. Su Binglan said, “l have something to tell you.”

Lan Ruozhu noticed his sister’s cold expression and suspected it was something important. “What is it?” “l went to see Han Yueting.”

“What did he say?”

Although the siblings had imprisoned the previous emperor and Crown Prince, the emperor had gone crazy and lost his memories. The siblings could not get any information from him, and even Su Binglan’s medicine and Soul Powers could not make him reveal his secrets.

That was because someone had used a secret technique on him. Once a person forcefully extracted the information, the former emperor would explode and die.

Still, the former emperor would have plenty of information. Therefore, Su

Binglan and Lan Ruozhu did not want him to die before getting some information out of him.

Su Binglan said, “The poison you and Jin’an suffered from didn’t come from the palace. Someone gave it to the former emperor. Han Yueting doesn’t know who that person is but knows that our mother is a member of the Ice Clan. He also knows that I’ve inherited the clan’s powers.”

Lan Ruozhu was shocked as he asked nervously, “Who else knows about your powers?”

Su Binglan shook her head. “Yueting didn’t tell anyone.”

“Don’t let him fool you, Sister. He’s a sly fox.”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother.” Su Binglan smiled and comforted Lan Ruozhu, “l could tell he wasn’t lying.”

After all, she had possessed Soul Powers and could use them to tell whether or not a person was lying. Even so, Lan Ruozhu palmed his forehead in worry and confusion.

He feared his sister would be in danger again. That was why he was even more nervous about this news. Lan Ruozhu thought he could protect his sister better once he became the emperor. However, things were not that simple.

The siblings knew nothing about the Ice Clan when she died. Bing Suwan said that not telling them about it was for their protection.

Lan Ruozhu stood up and said, “I’ll get someone to interrogate the former emperor now.”

The siblings kept the previous Crown Prince and Emperor alive because they were still useful.

Su Binglan said, “There’s no need to be anxious, Big Brother. Their lives are in my hands.”

She had fed them some pills since the beginning. Their lives depended on her thoughts. Moreover, she used a unique method to concoct the poisonous pills. Even the most capable person could not cure it.

Su Binglan was the only one with the antidote. She did not even tell her brother about it because she did not want him to worry.

“Okay, Sister. I’ve been looking for information on the Ice Clan these past few years but couldn’t find a thing.” Lan Ruozhu sighed despite himself. He even hoped his mother was still alive somewhere.

Still, the siblings knew nothing about the Ice Clan or their secrets. They did not even know where the clan was or what their abilities were.

Su Binglan nodded. “Yeah, we still have plenty of things to take care of, so let’s not dwell on them. I even used a spell on you and Jin’an. If you two a_re ever in danger, I’ll be able to sense it.”

Now that she had such an ability, she could protect Lan Ruozhu and Luo Jin’an better.

“You’ve worked hard. Sister.’

Su Binglan said, “I don’t think so. I feel pretty happy seeing Chu Country improve. ”

After some thought, Lan Ruozhu asked, “Sister, what did you mean when you said the newspaper does advertising?”

Su Binglan patiently explained, “There’s a section in the newspaper where people can show off their shops. I’ll hire some people to check these shops before approving and advertising them.

“We can also use that section of the newspaper to find missing people. We can use the advertising fees we collect as expenses for the newspaper office. Soon enough, the newspapers’ operations will fund themselves. If there are still people who want to find someone, you can also post it on it.”

Su Binglan had wanted Lan Ruozhu to own the newspaper company since the beginning. That way, the Imperial Court could control public opinion and ensure the country’s stability.

If public opinion were to mislead the commoners, they would not know right from wrong. It would inevitably affect the country’s stability.

Lan Ruozhu praised, “That’s an excellent idea, Sister. You’ve solved many misinformation problems since establis.h.i.+ng the newspaper company and the theater.’

These two things would unite the people’s thoughts. Moreover, the siblings would visit the streets in disguise and hear the commoners’ praises. Lan Ruozhu felt he had made his role as the emperor meaningful because he and his sister had helped the people.

“Sister, didn’t you say you wanted to set up a bank?”

Su Binglan answered, “Prominent families usually open and control banks. However, most are worried about storing their silver in these banks because of that.

“If you take the initiative to set up a bank in the way of the Imperial Court, it’ll benefit and stabilize the market currency. When necessary, you can also control some of the officials’ actions..”
