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

"Do you care a lot?" Lan Zhi asked back.

When Bai Jiuhan was asked this question, he was stunned for a moment.

He closed his eyes silently, then opened them again.

At this moment, the brutality in his eyes was gone.

He put the handcuffed hand behind his back.

Almost...

He almost couldn't hold back.

You have to keep her in front of you.

"Starting tomorrow, come to court."

Lan Zhi:?!

What is this operation?

She forced a smile and said, "I don't know anything, so I don't need to go."

"Not negotiable."

"......"

I really want to thank you. The poor workers now have an extra job.

Coincidentally, the court meetings of the Bai Kingdom and the Meng Kingdom happen to be held on the same day tomorrow.

This was her first court meeting after returning to Meng State.

Forget it, just pretend to be sick.

The next morning, Lan Zhi, who was still sleepy, was forced to go to court.

She was awakened by the eunuch's shrill voice.

Therefore, she now has a lot of resentment.

Bai Jiuhan looked at her face full of resentment, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep at any moment, so he said, "Give the left and right prime ministers a seat."

Upon hearing this, the Right Prime Minister was flattered and excited, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty, I kneel down to thank you for your grace."

Lan Zhi looked at the kneeling Right Prime Minister and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

He kept thanking her and kneeling down at every turn, forcing her to kneel down without any choice.

"I thank your majesty." Lan Zhi had just lifted the hem of his court robe and was about to kneel when Bai Jiuhan said, "Okay, sit down. Do you have anything important to report?"

"Your Majesty, yesterday's sandstorm swept through, and many households in the west were damaged. A large number of people have come to the Baisha River, intending to settle here. I am afraid that this incident will affect the local people of Baisha River..."

"The area north of Baisha River is sparsely populated, so I think it would be better to let them go there."

Soon, the court was filled with discussions.

Lan Zhi lost her sleepiness due to the noise and listened to their words carefully.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Bai Jiuhan asked, "What does Prime Minister Lan think?"

Lan Zhi shook his head: "I don't have any ideas, I just think what this gentleman said is right."

"Oh? How is it good?"

Everyone followed Bai Jiuhan and looked at Lan Zhi.

In everyone's mind, Lan Zhi has already changed.

They all knew that Lan Zhi was an undercover agent sent by Bai Jiuhan to be beside Bai Chuyin.

The straw bag before was just a disguise.

Ever since she defeated the enemy with a single arrow, they have all been speculating about her abilities other than martial arts.

If she had no ability, Bai Jiuhan would not have allowed her to continue to serve as the Left Prime Minister.

Regarding major issues concerning people's livelihood, Lan Zhi is unambiguous:

“This gentleman suggested that they move north of Baisha River, and I agree with that.

“The land along the Baisha River is fertile and suitable for farming, and the northern part of the river has not yet been developed, so there is no impact on the interests of the indigenous people.”

Bai Jiuhan was a little curious: "How do you know the land there is fertile?"

"If you want to pacify the world, you must know all the world's affairs. You should know all the mountains and rivers of the seven kingdoms, so that you can govern yourself and defeat the enemy."

Bai Jiuhan was slightly stunned.

Even he did not know all the mountains and rivers of Bai Country, and he did not expect that she, a woman, could do this.

Ashamed.

At this time, several ministers put forward some opinions.

"But there are still many people in the west who don't want to leave. How can we manage this?"

"Yes, and the western part is vast. If we can make use of it, it won't be wasted."

Lan Zhi said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is to ban logging in the west and implement afforestation to prevent further erosion by wind and sand."

"It's not okay to ban logging, what about papermaking..."

Soon everyone started talking again.

The morning court session lasted for five hours.

When the court was dismissed, Lan Zhi was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.

Before she reached the palace gate, several young officials came forward and called her.

Bai Jiuhan vaguely heard some words praising Lan Zhi.

And so on, such as "Come to my house for dinner" and "Let's go...play together".

He felt uncomfortable seeing them standing so close to each other and bursting into laughter from time to time.

Suddenly I felt a little regretful for letting her come to court.

"Ask Minister Lan to come over. I have something to discuss with her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Zhi disappeared from his sight.

The eunuch was about to call Lan Zhi, but he said, "Forget it."

She's covered in thorns, maybe she'll get angry again.

...

On the other side, Meng Beixiao didn't see Lan Zhi coming to court, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After finishing some urgent matters at hand, he went directly to find her.

As a result, the eunuch shouted "Your Majesty has arrived!" for a long time, but she did not come out to greet him.

Meng Beixiao was worried that something might have happened to her, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

Looking at the empty room, he angrily asked, "Didn't they say that Lan Xiang was in there? Where is he?"

"I deserve to die, but I have never seen Prime Minister Lan come out."

At this moment, Lan Zhi, who had just flashed back from the White Kingdom, shouted from the rooftop: "Your Majesty, is that you?"

After hearing her voice, Meng Beixiao quickly walked to the middle of the yard and looked at the roof.

I saw Lan Zhi sitting on the roof, legs bent casually, with a piece of grass in her mouth.

"Why did you go up there?"

"The air is good here. Your Majesty, would you like to come up?"

The eunuchs following Meng Beixiao said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you can't do that."

"What can't be done?"

Meng Beixiao jumped on tiptoe and stepped on a tile with his toes. As the tile trembled slightly, he had easily come to Lan Zhi's side.

"I'm here, why didn't you say anything? You kept me waiting for a while."

Lan Zhi bowed and saluted: "It's my fault. I just fell asleep."

Meng Beixiao pressed her hand down: "Don't be so humble, this is not the court."

"Your Majesty, can I ask you a question?"

Meng Beixiao was a little curious, raised his eyebrows and said, "You say."

"Why do you say 'I'm the one'? It sounds really old."

"..."

Very old?

Then...should we change it to "朕"?

When I was young, I always wanted to pretend to be mature, so I called myself "widower". I never thought that one day I would be called old.

He was a little embarrassed to lie, "I usually say that, too."

"Oh."

"Let me look at your hands."

"My hand?" Lan Zhi was a little surprised.

Without waiting for her to react, Meng Beixiao directly took her right hand and opened her palm.

There is a pale white scar on the palm, which is the sign of regrowth, but it is so faint that it is difficult to see.

Lan Zhi smiled: "Why, are you really recognizing me?"

Meng Beixiao flicked her forehead and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just checking to see if it has grown well."

"It's been a long time, it's already healed."

Meng Beixiao looked away and looked towards the horizon, "I'm sorry for what happened before."

Lan Zhi looked at him in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would say "sorry".

Meng Beixiao took out four buns from his arms: "I bought these for you after I left the court. Although they are not from this town, I wanted to buy them for you in person to make up for it."

Then he looked at her seriously again: "Do you still blame me?"

"Since you are so sensible, I won't blame you."

"You're really rude." Meng Beixiao smiled and hugged her: "Then let's go take a bath together. It's so hot in this damn weather. It's a pity that you're still here."
