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

Ye Che said nothing and ignored her.

If his eyes hadn't been open, Lan Zhi would have suspected that he had fallen asleep while kneeling.

Doesn’t he ever get tired?

Lan Zhi crossed her legs and looked at the tablets. "Do you think they are already calling you to get up? It's just that you can't hear them. If that's the case, they must be very anxious.

"When I am old and die, I will never let my children and grandchildren kneel like this. Which ancestor is willing to let his descendants suffer like this? My mother would cry if I suffered any injustice.

After hearing her words, Ye Che was slightly stunned.

My mother had said before that she couldn't bear to see him suffer even the slightest bit.

Lan Zhi whispered to herself again: "I don't know if my mother can hear me if I pray here..."

Could it be that my mother has also traveled to another world?

"You... your mother is gone too?"

Lan Zhi turned his head and looked at him, curiosity in his eyes.

"Well, my mother died early. Before I had the chance to be filial to her, she was gone. Alas, I don't know how she is doing over there."

When Lan Zhi recalled her mother, her eyes became gentle.

"My mother is a very kind person. She has saved many people. My grandfather said that before she got married, she was a tomboy who didn't listen to discipline. There is a very wide river in our place, two or three miles wide. My mother dared to swim across it."

"Aren't you afraid of what people will say if a woman shows up like this?"

"My grandfather dotes on me. He said if I can't get married, he'll marry someone else. But my father likes someone like my mother. They fell in love at first sight, I guess."

"Then your father and your mother... must be very loving, right?"

"That's natural. My father doted on my mother. They always smiled when they were talking. After my mother passed away, my father was depressed for several years."

"What happened after your mother passed away? Did your father remarry?"

Lan Zhi fell silent.

After a long while, she managed a smile and said, "Well, after taking four concubines, my grandmother wanted to have another brother, but in the end, after so many years, no brothers or sisters were added."

Suddenly, a small hissing sound was heard. Lan Zhi patted Ye Che's shoulder and whispered, "Did you hear any sound?"

Ye Che pricked up his ears; he had indeed heard it just now.

sizzle~~~

The sound was getting closer and closer, and Lan Zhi's scalp felt tingling.

She stood still, leaned forward to pick up the oil lamp on the table, and then slowly shone it under the tablet.

The originally pitch-black area beneath the table suddenly became bright. Next to the innermost leg of the table, a silver ring snake stood half-up, shaking its head from side to side, spitting out its tongue and staring at her.

Lan Zhi was so frightened that she gasped and almost dropped the oil lamp in her hand.

She bent over and looked at the coral snake, then slowly stepped back a few steps.

With her other hand, she pulled Ye Che's sleeve back and said in a low voice, "There is a snake. Back away slowly."

When Ye Che heard there was a snake, he quickly hid behind Lan Zhi and looked under the table with a pale face: "I... I am afraid of snakes, please get rid of it."

Lan Zhi rolled her eyes. She was afraid of snakes too. She was scared to death now.

In the past, when I cultivated immortality, I had spiritual power and could kill it with just a flick of my finger. But now I have no spiritual power, what should I do?

"I'll call someone to take care of it."

Lan Zhi turned around to open the door, but it was locked from the outside.

Depend on!

Aren't they too blatant? The person inside is the emperor!

"Someone, open the door! There's a snake!"

After calling for a long time but no one responded, Lan Zhi naturally understood that either there was no one outside, or the person was pretending to be deaf and dumb.

And if things get into trouble tomorrow, Lan Zhi would be the best reason for locking the door, since she has a bad reputation.

For example, they were afraid that she wouldn't kneel down and meditate properly, or that she would run away, so they locked the door just to make her stay inside properly.

She shouldn't have come here to get killed.

"hiss~~"

Lan Zhi looked back and saw that the coral snake had crawled out from under the table, and behind it, there was another one!

Wow, did they bring their whole family along?

Ye Che hid beside Lan Zhi, still looking like a banished immortal brother who didn't care about worldly affairs, and his eyes were like a frightened little white rabbit.

I don't know if he is really scared or pretending to be. Looking at his eyes, he seems like someone who is very afraid of snakes. After all, he has been pampered since childhood, so it is normal.

Lan Zhi looked around and there was nothing useful here. Apart from a pile of tablets and offerings on the table, there were only three kneeling pads. It was very clean.

An idea suddenly occurred to her, she put the lamp on the ground and pulled out the wooden plug from the bolt.

With the weapon in hand, I feel more at ease.

An active attack is impossible, the worst that can happen is we can just wait until tomorrow morning.

If you get bitten, you'll be dead.

She was standing close to Ye Che, staring at the two snakes intently, and did not notice that there was some change in Ye Che's eyes behind her.

From time to time, there is always a faint fragrance emanating from Lan Zhi's body. It smells very nice, but it is hard to describe what it is. It is like the fragrance of flowers, sweet as honey in flowers, and faint and elegant.

Ye Che sneered at the sight of a man smelling such floral scent, but he couldn't help but want to get closer to him. This scent was addictive to him.

Two coral snakes crawled towards them with a hissing sound, as if they were attacking.

One of the silver ring snakes arched its body, shot up, and flew straight towards Lan Zhi and the others.

Lan Zhi swung the door bolt in her hand like playing golf and hit the snake's head. Unexpectedly, with a "slap" sound, the snake was actually knocked unconscious.

The other one twisted its body and rushed over. Lan Zhi wanted to use the same trick again and swung the bolt to hit it. However, the silver ring snake was not knocked away, but it entangled itself on the bolt and was about to jump up.

"Ahhh!" Lan Zhi was so scared that her hands trembled. She threw the bolt far away, turned around and jumped onto Ye Che, wrapped her legs directly around his waist, and hung on him like a koala.

Ye Che’s body stiffened.

The person hanging in front of him felt soft and weightless, and most importantly, the fragrance was even stronger.

Smells good.

Smells very good!

Ye Che felt his ears getting a little hot. When he wanted to ask Lan Zhi to come down, she had already turned her head to look for the snake.

"Hey, where's the snake?"

"Isn't that the one under the log?"

"Hey, did you kill it?"

Lan Zhi released her hands from around Ye Che's neck and jumped off Ye Che, who was 180 cm tall.

"It's not pretending to be dead, is it? Should we find something to hit it a few more times?"

Ye Che's clear eyes suddenly darkened.

He is very dissatisfied!

After jumping on him, how could Lan Zhi act like nothing happened?

How can a man hug another man?

Lan Zhi didn't even think about what she had just done to Ye Che, her whole focus was on the snake.

She took two careful steps forward, and suddenly, the snake's tail moved, scaring her so much that she quickly hid next to Ye Che again.

All the courage I had built up before was scared away when the snake climbed up the bolt.

"Your Majesty, they should be dead, right? I don't need to go over to check, right? Well, can we just wait here at the door until dawn?"

"I will go to court at 11:00 pm. You will stay here alone for a while."
