After her death, the emperors of the seven kingdoms all went mad

"How is Lan Zhi?" Fu Jingchuan asked.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that Prime Minister Lan would not allow anyone to disturb his sleep, so the imperial physician was unable to go in and check his pulse."

Fu Jingchuan frowned slightly without leaving a trace, and after a long silence, he said nothing in the end.

乔国

Qiao State is a coastal country in the south. It is prosperous, densely populated and has abundant resources. It has trade relations with overseas and is relatively open.

Lan Zhi is now in the bustling streets of Qiao Country.

After waking up from my nap in the afternoon, I felt that I had recovered well, so I suddenly thought of going to Qiaoguo for some fun.

I heard from the system that today is Qiao Country's trade open day, which means that people who have goods traveling to and from foreign countries and hold a pass can stay in Qiao Country for three days.

During these three days, various activities will be held in various parts of Qiao State to attract foreign businessmen. It is a good time for eating, drinking and having fun.

Of course Lan Zhi couldn't miss it.

[Host, why are you here if you are not going to the Qiao Kingdom Palace? ]

"I'll tell you when I'm happy."

The streets are bustling with people.

Looking at the foreign businessmen coming and going, Lan Zhi had an illusion that she had returned to the modern world again.

To be honest, since she had been to the modern world, she liked it more. If she had a choice, she would like to return to the modern world.

"Wow, that gauze skirt is so beautiful, I want to wear it too!"

Lan Zhiru ran like a broken-down Husky, heading straight for the shop that sold gauze skirts.

Half a minute later, she came out relaxed.

"Comfortable!"

The clothes she had worn were enough to cause her to get heatstroke in this place with a temperature around 30 degrees.

This was also the first time she wore women's clothes after traveling back in time.

Passersby looked at her with envy or admiration. Lan Zhi, who was unaware of her beauty, thought it was because of the pretty skirt she was wearing that she was very happy.

After eating and drinking, it was getting dark.

There was a cool breeze at the end of the street and some people were flying sky lanterns.

Down the slope at the end of the street is the pier, and above the pier is a restaurant that is half suspended.

How lucky we would be if we could drink a pot of wine in a restaurant on the coastal side and watch the sunrise and sunset.

Lan Zhi failed to reserve such a seat, so she had to sit on the stone stool at the dock and eat skewers.

The deep blue sky slowly swallowed up the orange-red clouds on the horizon. The sunlight faded, and a silver sickle hung in the sky, as if it had been polished to a shiny finish. Perhaps a move of light and shadow could kill people invisibly.

The light and shadow are not only in the sky, but also on the dock.

The knives in the hands of the four big men were as bright as the moon in the sky.

They surrounded a boy of about twelve or thirteen, shouting at him fiercely: "Follow us honestly, swords and knives have no eyes, don't blame us if you get hurt."

"I won't go with you," the boy had retreated to the edge of the pier, with no way to retreat. He pointed at the sea water below the pier and said in a voice full of determination: "Believe it or not, I will jump down!"

"Don't toast and you'll be fined if you don't eat!"

"Don't waste your time talking to him. Just tie him up and take him back. Master Hu is still waiting."

"Hehe, this boy is really good-looking. No wonder Mr. Hu likes him."

"Why are you arresting me? I want to report to the police!"

"Report to the police? Hahahaha...go report it!"

In the restaurant, a slender figure stood by the window, his white clothes lifted by the sea breeze, and his black hair flowed on his forehead, passing across his delicate profile.

He looked down at the scene below, his Adam's apple rolling, and his voice as gentle as water slowly rang out: "Xiyu, go and take a look."

"Yes."

Xiyu moved quickly and arrived at the dock in a short while.

However, there are people who are faster than him.

Lan Zhi walked in front of him, pushed aside a man holding a knife, and approached the boy.

She bent over and looked at him. He was a very handsome boy with a pair of sapphire blue eyes.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business?"

Lan Zhi ignored the man and asked the little boy softly, "Little brother, do you need help from your sister?"

The boy raised his eyes and looked at Lan Zhi carefully. After seeing Lan Zhi's appearance, he was slightly stunned, and then lowered his head again: "Go away, I don't want to implicate you."

"You are quite loyal." Lan Zhi touched his head and smiled.

The big man behind him saw that Lan Zhi ignored him and reached out to push her away.

Before his hands even touched hers, Lan Zhi had already grabbed his hands and twisted them behind her in an instant.

As the bone was twisted, a crackling sound was heard as it was dislocated.

“It hurts, it hurts… Let go… Let go!”

"court death!"

Another big man raised his knife and was about to chop at Lan Zhi. Xiyu, who was standing aside, moved slightly, and when he was about to attack, Lan Zhi kicked the man away.

"You bitch, you're looking for death! Hey, she's pretty, let's take her down with us!"

"Sister, be careful."

The long knife swept towards Lan Zhi's neck. Lan Zhi fell to the left, supporting himself with one hand. At the same time, he kicked the man's head twice, kicking him directly into the sea.

"Run." Lan Zhi grabbed the little boy's hand, turned around and ran.

It’s not difficult to deal with them, but don’t end up neglecting the little boy and giving him a chance to be kidnapped, which would be terrible.

"Come on!"

The big men were about to catch up, when suddenly, a sword appeared in front of them...

...........

After Lan Zhi ran two miles with the little boy, they saw that no one was catching up with them, so they could finally stop and catch their breath.

After she calmed down, she asked, "Where is your home? I'll take you back."

The boy lowered his head and remained silent.

"Then you go back by yourself. I have to go too."

The boy suddenly grabbed her and pleaded, "Sister, please take me away. I will be very good."

"where is your family?"

The boy was silent for a while before he said, "They were killed, and I am the only one left."

After hearing what he said, Lan Zhi touched his head to comfort him.

The boy dodged her hand and said dissatisfiedly: "You can't touch a man's head."

"Hey, you little brat, do you know what a man is? How old are you?"

"I'm fourteen."

Lan Zhi was stunned for a moment. He was stunted. He was only fourteen years old, short and small.

"Fourteen is still a child. What's your name?"

The boy looked at her, seemingly unhappy that she called him a child, "My name is Lan Xin."

"What did you say your name was?"

"Lan Xin, Lan means mountain, Lan means mountain, Xin means metal."

"Oh, I thought you and my cousin had the same name. Which Xin is Xin Jin?"

"Don't you know that Xin Jin is the eighth metal in the Heavenly Stems? Xin means hard work."

Lan Zhi smiled awkwardly, "Now that you know, then, let's just say goodbye. You should be more careful next time."

Lan Xin pulled Lan Zhi's sleeve and begged, "Sister, just take me away. I will be very good."

"You should find someone more reliable to follow you. It's not convenient for me. You see, I'm a girl. It will be very troublesome if I take you with me..."

The main reason is that it is not convenient for her to have anyone with her. It would be bad if someone found out that she was teleported to another country.

"Sister, you saved me, so you are my benefactor. I will listen to you no matter what you ask me to do. Just let me follow you and be your servant."

Lan Zhi couldn't bear to refuse because of Lan Xin's gaze, but she had no choice. She had a secret that no one could know, and the servants in the palace had to become eunuchs.

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do."

She took out all the valuables she had and handed them to him: "This money should be enough to last for a while, take it."

Lan Zhi then went to buy a set of men's clothes to change into and walked towards the palace.

She didn't notice that Lan Xin had been following her from a distance.
