Herlinmat closed the door, leaving only the two sisters in the bedroom.

"What did the teacher say?"

Ivignad asked somewhat nervously.

She was quite proud of her methods—but being a novice, the natural nervousness hit her when she submitted her thesis and asked for her grade.

"The teacher said you did a great job."

Helena said with a light laugh.

call--

The white-clad emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"but--"

"Hey?"

"The teacher added one more thing, and that's something I need to do."

Herlinmat took out the letter and handed it to Ivignad, who read it and then seemed to be deep in thought.

"So, this time, you're planning to personally lead the troops to attack Shi Tong's territory?"

“We must do this. We have no trustworthy commanders, and the [Queen's Voice] has only just been reorganized. We can only win this battle, we cannot lose, and we must win decisively.”

Ivignad nodded slowly.

Helena was right. They had to win this battle, and they had no other capable people left.

“Then let’s go. You decide on the number of people and the unit number, and I’ll free up the supplies and manpower.”

"Okay, I'll be ready."

Just as Helena was about to leave, she was stopped by Ivigna.

"Don't rush, Hildegard. Speaking of Shitongling, I just remembered—did you run away behind my back?"

"Why--!!!"

Seeing her sister's shocked and blushing expression, Ivignad immediately felt victory was within her grasp.

She thought that by holding the teacher's hand, she could keep it a secret from him, but she never expected that she would be able to get information out of the teacher.

Hmph, today I'm going to put you in a good position and make sure you never dare to run away from me again!

"You...how did you know?"

Herlinmatt's tone was somewhat panicked.

"Hmph, I just know—you did something bad behind my back when you were with the teacher!"

Ivignad pressed her advantage, while Herlinmat hesitated and stammered.

"Say!"

"Waaah... I..."

"Still trying to hide it? I know you were secretly holding the teacher's hand—"

"I let the teacher touch my ears!!"

Helena finally covered her face and, barely suppressing her shame, blurted it out.

Hey?

Ivignad's expression and body both froze.

"......twice."

......

"I had to hold the teacher's hand to touch it."

......

"The teacher said he really likes it... Ah!"

Herlinmat suddenly lost her balance. She instinctively cried out and tried to brace herself with her hands, only to find herself sinking into the soft bed. When she looked up, she saw her younger sister glaring at her fiercely.

"Damn it... why do you always sneak out!"

"Huh? You're going to do this—Aaaaaah!!!"

Helena murmured, then let out another soft cry.

Ivignad angrily pinned her sister down, glaring at her with a malicious expression.

"Sister, you said you could share everything with me, right?"

"This time, please share some of the warmth that your teacher gives you with me—woof."

PS: Now you know why the author didn't write any details, right? (shrugs)

It's not that I don't want to write, it's that I really can't bring myself to touch it at all.

I haven't even used any force yet; there's no description below the neck, just some onomatopoeia and ellipses, and it still won't pass the review.

Hedgehog Cat's top-notch review process across the entire internet truly lives up to its reputation.

Chapter 130 A Word That Must Be Shocking

Qiao Yelan did not stay in Trinityl for long, because he had nothing else to do. Ivignad was suspending part of the current reconstruction plan to provide supplies for Helinmat's expedition, while Helinmat was establishing direct communication channels with Volner.

Preparation time for an expedition is not short, so Qiao Yelan did not witness the departure of the [Queen's Voice], but he had confidence in his students.

Let's go back to Da Yan first.

This journey, starting from the capital of Great Yan, passed through Letania, Lateran Holy City, the seven duchies of Victoria, and then returned to Great Yan via Letania, taking a full six months.

By the time the delegation set foot on the land of Great Yan again, it was already the season to admire the golden wheat fields in autumn.

"Such beautiful scenery cannot be appreciated in a mobile city."

Shaoqing said with some emotion.

"Yes, there is no season for planting in mobile cities. Although they can move on their own and avoid natural disasters, making them extremely safe, they are still made of steel and cement, so there is little natural scenery."

Qiao Yelan watched the scenery flash by outside the car window and chatted with Shaoqing.

"Compared to scenery and safety, most people still prefer to be safer—after all, natural disasters can't be resolved with just a storm; Originium contamination is the real problem."

"What the adults say is true. A village like this doesn't even need a major disaster; just a rain of Originium would force them to leave their homes and find a new place to live."

Shaoqing nodded. As an official of the Court of State Ceremonial, he was not ignorant of human affairs.

"However, our Great Yan Emperors are all wise rulers who understand the suffering of the people. In recent years, both the late Emperor and the current Emperor have put a lot of thought into the construction of mobile cities. The construction of the Shangshu mobile city promoted by the late Emperor is still praised as a great achievement."

"Twenty-six years ago, a natural disaster struck Shangshu. Since then, the late emperor has vigorously promoted the construction of the Shangshu mobile city. If it weren't for Your Majesty's attention, the natural disaster that suddenly struck Shangshu six years ago might have caused extremely tragic consequences."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yelan blinked.

"Minister Cha, if the events of that natural disaster and the mobile city were not solely due to the late Emperor's efforts, what then?"

"Of course, the people of Great Yan also deserve credit."

Shaoqing said matter-of-factly.

The man rubbed his chin with a subtle expression.

He had been wondering why his second son was still asking him how to protect his brothers and sisters when he had already paved the way—it turned out that the road he had paved had been erased.

This is surprising.

No wonder that when I mentioned the Year Beast's assistance at the Si Sui Terrace, the old Grand Tutor, although he had heard about it, didn't seem so enthusiastic—it turns out he didn't know the details of what had happened either.

Qiao Yelan muttered to herself.

He persuaded far more than just Wang; Shuo, who was in charge of warfare; Nian, who was in charge of forging; Ling, who was in charge of literature; Shu, who was in charge of nurturing life... The other officials also had their own powers and responsibilities, and almost all of them participated in the work of the official institutions of the Great Yan Dynasty.

These are the pieces he planted, and the reason he is confident in holding back [Hope].

Although if the Year Signs die, everything related to them will vanish, there are still eleven Year Signs of the twelve years alive today, so how could they all be unknown to anyone?

Although the Grand Tutor has remained in the Si Sui Tai ever since he disappeared from [Jie], keeping a close eye on [Wang] who voluntarily bound there, his gaze is inevitably somewhat limited to the capital. If someone were to deliberately conceal this, it wouldn't be impossible.

So the question is—who exactly concealed the existence of the Year Ministers within the Great Yan Dynasty, and attributed their achievements to the Emperor or others through praise and glorification?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the brief but thrilling time he had spent in the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Prime Minister Cai Yan was obsessed with court affairs, while the Grand Tutor was always loitering in the Imperial Secretariat—neither of them were the type to do such things.

Is it the late emperor?

Qiao Yelan pondered.

The late emperor must have been involved.

If we want to cover up the contributions of the Sui Xiang to the mobile city of Shang Shu, then the Ministry of Works, which was responsible for building the mobile city, cannot escape blame.
