I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

As the clanging of steel echoed, a terrifying monster emerged from the darkness and appeared before them.

The monster, except for its head which still resembles a human head, had its rest of its body replaced with steel.

It walked to the door, its terrifying mechanical eye sweeping over Whisper and Kal'tsit, then pushed the door open and entered. It walked ten steps in front of Uther, bowed, and presented him with a metal box.

"This is the final work I envisioned. Although it has taken shape, it still has countless flaws."

Uther felt a mix of joy and sorrow towards it, but his words were full of pride.

"...It's truly a miracle."

He examined the monster in broad daylight, then sighed softly.

"What the magistrate is thinking is all contained within this."

Uther pointed to the box and said.

"Please take it, my lord."

During the day, one's gaze passes over the monster and looks outside.

"Such a small matter can be done by the servants."

Waving in the daytime.

Upon being summoned, Whisper and Kal'tsit entered one after the other.

Whisper, fetch it.

Kal'tsit silently walked to Bai Zhou's side and stood there, her eyes slightly lowered as she looked at the empty wine vessel on the table.

"Here!"

Whisper first bowed before the daylight, then rose to face the monster.

By day, he gently swirled the wine cup in his hand and laughed and chatted with Uther.

"His Majesty Uther has sent such a great gift; the friendship between our two nations will surely last forever."

"It's just a small gift, please excuse my rudeness."

After Uther finished speaking, his golden eyes narrowed slightly.

A strong gust of wind swept by, and with the sound of glass shattering, Qingyu knelt again before Baizhou.

"I have successfully completed my mission."

"You were merely retrieving an item; how dare you vandalize His Majesty Uther's palace? Whisper, what is your punishment?"

During the day, it refers to his angry words.

"Your subject admits his guilt!"

She spoke softly without arguing and willingly accepted the punishment.

"You know your guilt! You only know your guilt, but you don't know how much effort His Majesty Uther put into building such a magnificent palace. You've done a good job, you incompetent servant!"

"Please calm your anger, my lord."

Seeing that Baiyue was angry, Uther quickly spoke to appease him.

"These are just ordinary things, they won't cost much."

"Humph."

He snorted coldly in broad daylight.

"I will spare your life this time for the sake of His Majesty Uther. But you will be spared the death penalty, though you will not escape punishment."

During the day, he took out a red pill, crushed it, and placed it into a wine vessel.

"This poison that you've been longing for will cause you unbearable stomach pain. Consider it your punishment. You may take the antidote only after you leave Lentinium."

With a slight flick of his wrist, Bai Zhou used his inner energy to throw the wine cup in front of Qing Yu.

"Here."

She gently raised her hand and caught the wine cup steadily without spilling a drop, then raised her head and drank the contents of the cup in one gulp.

"Hmph, though incompetent, he still has some courage, which is to say he hasn't lost the spirit of a Yan Kingdom man."

Seeing that Qingyu had drunk it, Baizhou then bowed and apologized to Uther.

"My lord, please do not worry, I am not angry."

Bai Zhou sighed softly, moved by Uther's generosity and righteousness, then rose and bowed to take his leave.

"Today I had a very pleasant day drinking and talking with His Majesty Uther. However, I am not a strong drinker and am already drunk even though I am not drunk in spirit. Therefore, I ask His Majesty Uther to allow me to leave and rest."

"Of course. Since you are already tired, our gathering today will end here."

When the day was about to end, Uther did not try to keep him.

"Please do not be offended, my lord, but I still have state affairs to attend to and cannot see you off on your journey."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Bai Zhou walked out with a light laugh.

Kal'tsit followed closely behind.

She picked up her suitcase and got up to follow him, but he hadn't forgotten that he had to act. His hand, holding the suitcase, trembled slightly, showing his seriousness and dedication.

Return to the forty-ninth true Drak

After leaving that street, Bai Zhou patted Qing Yu's arm.

"Alright, we've gone far enough, no need to pretend anymore."

"Here."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu's arms stopped trembling, the sweat on her forehead stopped, and she felt much lighter.

"So, how does raspberry taste with sake?"

During the day, she raised her hand and whispered as she handed him the box.

"It tastes delicious and is worth trying."

The red pill was actually dried raspberry that had been dried out during the day, not some kind of poison that caused heartache.

"Um……"

Bai Zhou pulled off the lock on the box, took out the confidential documents inside which were wrapped in a paper bag, and threw the box back to Qing Yu.

"This box has been disposed of."

"Here."

The contents of the paper bag were indeed the ship blueprints that Bai Zhou had envisioned.

Ao Neng covered it, transforming it into a box to protect it.

“Take them back.”

"Here."

Qingyu took the box again, carefully memorizing the differences between the two boxes.

"Oh, right."

Before Qingyu left, Baizhou asked him a question.

"How is Second Uncle doing lately?"

He remembered very clearly what Uther had said earlier.

It is said that my second uncle got up when the bird chirped and returned when the dog barked, and he didn't have a break for several months.

He simply worked diligently every day and took his holidays as usual.

These days, my second uncle doesn't even take holidays. He's been getting up early and going to bed late for years, and he often stays up all night. I'm genuinely worried about his health.

"His Majesty... is indeed as Uther said. Many ministers have submitted memorials advising His Majesty to take care of his health, but His Majesty simply refuses to listen."

She sighed softly, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Her Majesty the Empress was diagnosed with pregnancy by the imperial physicians six months ago."

"real!"

A surge of joy filled his heart during the day.

"I would never dare to deceive you."

She whispered, hesitating, "But..."

"But what! Tell me!"

Seeing Qingyu's hesitant and stammering manner, Baizhou wished he could give him a gourd seed.

These guys are all the same; they talk for ages, making sure they look like they're in a really difficult situation.

Qingyu gritted her teeth, knelt down, and said to him, "It's just that Her Majesty the Empress and His Majesty often miss you. During this trip, Her Majesty the Empress somehow learned of the news and stopped me, entrusting me to deliver a message for you."

"speak."

"Her Majesty the Empress hopes that you can go back and see her."

Having said that, she lowered her head and brows, not daring to speak again.

"..."

Bai Zhou turned his head to look at Kal'tsit.

"I cannot speak of this matter; Your Highness must make the decision yourself. I will follow your will and be loyal to you."

Kal'tsit knew the thoughts of Daylight.

She was also unwilling to be the villain who destroyed family relationships.

"Hmm...I understand."

Daylight gazes upon whispers.

"You go ahead, I will return soon."
