Immediately after, the Emperor smiled. "Yes, I do know him. That's not all. Gu Yundong's name appeared even earlier than Shao Qingyuan's on my desk."
Yi Zilan was stunned. His eyes widened and he was so stunned that he could not speak.
"W-Why? Isn't Gu Yundong a countryside woman? I heard from her that she just came to the capital for the first time not long ago. She has only been here for a month. How could she…"
Yi Zilan was puzzled. Could Gu Yundong have lied to her?
The Emperor shook his head with a smile. "It's indeed her first time in the capital, and I've never seen her before. However, although I've never seen her before, I have a deep impression of her. Do you know where the white sugar that appeared out of nowhere two years ago came from?"
"…Didn't you say that Qin Wenzheng offered it from Fengkai County?"
"That's right. Gu Yundong told Qin Wenzheng first before submitting it to my court."
