Lee Fangyuan stopped speaking and looked at Lotus, “Don’t worry about this, find so just now?”

Even the imperial court may not possess such secret inforone to? Lotus flipped to the last page and found that it was a contact information of a place within the imperial capital The last words written were, “Destroy this after reading this thoroughly andit Take care, and be well!”
