Emperor Xuanyuan pondered for a while and felt that what Concubine Lan said made sense.

Although he didn't care much whether Shangguan Yao entered the palace or not, the recipe of the Shangguan family was too tempting to him.

His private vault was robbed some time ago, which really damaged him badly. It happened that the spy who was keeping an eye on the Shangguan family in secret reported to him that the Shangguan family had started doing business.

Originally, he thought it was just an ordinary small business and was too lazy to take part. However, when he saw the cost and profit presented by the spy, he was immediately tempted.

Even when his private treasury was well stocked, he would have kept the recipe for himself, let alone now when he was short of money.

He also has a lot of private property, but there are gains and losses. Even the profitable businesses are mediocre. But if this recipe is in his hands.

The entire dynasty belonged to him, and he could open restaurants with this recipe in a grand manner, all over the dynasty. With him as the backer, no matter how jealous others were, they would not dare to take a share.

He could imagine the scene where money would flow into his private treasury like water.

"Someone come here!" Emperor Xuanyuan made up his mind and called out to the outside of the door.

Soon, a young eunuch pushed the door open, performed the ceremony in a proper manner, and knelt on the ground waiting for Emperor Xuanyuan's instructions.

"Go and notify the Imperial Guards and ask them to send someone to Daxi Village to pick up Shangguan Yao, and say that it was a favor that Concubine Zhao asked me for. Whether they agree or not, I don't care what method you use, as long as you can bring Shangguan Yao here. If you fail to complete the task, you will be killed without mercy!" Emperor Xuanyuan hugged Concubine Lan and looked down at the little eunuch below.

The young eunuch received the imperial eunuch's order and quickly went to the Embroidered Uniform Guard to convey the emperor's oral instructions.

Seeing that there was no one around, Concubine Lan leaned close to Emperor Xuanyuan's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, there has been some progress on the weapon."

"Oh? Really?" Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly became excited, sat up straight and looked at Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan chuckled, gently patted Emperor Xuanyuan's chest with her handkerchief, and said delicately: "Of course, how dare I tease your majesty~"

"Hahahahahaha, my beloved concubine is really my lucky star, hahaha." Emperor Xuanyuan felt the breath that had been stuck in his chest due to the series of misfortunes for many days suddenly dissipated. He was so happy that his brows smiled and his face turned rosy.

"Your Majesty, would you like to go and take a look?" Concubine Lan suggested, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in her tone.

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Emperor Xuanyuan had been unable to sit still for a long time, so he took the opportunity of Concubine Lan's suggestion and agreed.

Normally, when the emperor went on a tour, he was always accompanied by hundreds of people. But this time, he brought no one with him. He was just Concubine Lan. They avoided everyone's eyes and ears and left the palace through a secluded path.

At the end of the path, a carriage that looked ordinary but was actually equipped with protective equipment had been waiting for a long time.

The coachman may seem ordinary at first glance, but if someone with strong martial arts skills observes carefully, they will find that he is a master.

Emperor Xuanyuan and Concubine Lan got on the carriage with familiarity. The coachman looked around and when he saw that there was no problem, he drove the carriage towards the outside of the capital.

About an incense stick later, the carriage stopped at the foot of a valley, and Emperor Xuanyuan and Concubine Lan got off the carriage.

The coachman followed behind to protect them, and soon they arrived at the place in the valley where weapons were secretly manufactured.
