Ji Xiuning said, "I want to go out of the city to a place because I dreamt of Lanling last night. I dreamed of meeting Emperor Lanling there."
Ji Xiuning's reason was very simple, yet absolutely effective.
Lanling had been missing for a long time, and everyone was waiting for him to return. However, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Flame Demon Empire believed that Lanling was dead and would never come back.
So when Ji Xiuning said she dreamed of Lanling, despite it being insincere, it was of great significance to Lanling's loyalists, like a beautiful symbol and prophecy.
Upon hearing the name Lanling, the son of Xie Li Khan immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to escort Your Ladyship out of the city to that place, but I need to report to Her Majesty the Queen Empress. Her Majesty has decreed that anyone leaving the city must obtain his consent."
