At night, Li Qiji held Guan Zhiyue's hand and strolled leisurely through the deep palace courtyard, giving people a relaxed and carefree feeling.

Guan Zhiyue twisted her hand, which was being held, and found that the more she moved, the tighter Li Qiji gripped her hand, so she simply stopped trying to pull away.

"Yue'er, do you think we can find natural asphalt?" Li Qiji started a conversation.

Guan Zhiyue shook her head uncertainly and said, "I don't know, after all, I've never been out, so I don't know what other places are like."

"Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't; who can say for sure?"

Li Qiji didn't know why Guan Zhiyue seemed so downcast, so he said, "Yue'er, is something wrong? I feel like you're not very happy."

Guan Zhiyue shook her head after hearing Li Qiji's words and said, "No, I was just thinking about how we can implement these plans. I think the medical aspect must be addressed first."

Li Qiji said, "Doctor, aren't there many medical facilities outside? Why do we need to build a medical institute?"

Guan Zhiyue shook her head and said, "The reason for establishing the Medical Center is because it is inconvenient for ordinary people to see a doctor, and the current medical level of doctors simply cannot support many serious illnesses."

"This will result in a considerable number of deaths. Furthermore, if you want to improve the entire Nanding Kingdom, you need to make a proper and reasonable plan."

“Reasonable planning? What kind of reasonable planning?” Li Qiji was becoming more and more fascinated by Guan Zhiyue. He felt that she was like a sponge from which he could squeeze out a lot of things.

"For example, let's set a goal, taking it one step at a time over five years. Within five years, we will turn all the official roads in Nanding Kingdom into asphalt roads."

Li Qiji said, "But we haven't found the asphalt yet, have we?"

Guan Zhiyue said, "Big brother, I meant for example, like this: even though we haven't found asphalt yet, let's just back out for now!"

"Let's take the Hospital for Medical Research as an example."

When Li Qiji heard Guan Zhiyue call him "elder brother," he was a little displeased and immediately said, "Yue'er, I am your husband."

Guan Zhiyue: "..." Is that the point?

"Oh dear, this is a modal particle. You won't understand even if I explain it to you too much. Let me just tell you directly!"

"We'll proceed in five-year increments. This means we'll accomplish one major task within five years!"

"The establishment of this Medical Center is a momentous undertaking. Imagine if you set up the Medical Center, all the doctors would gather together to learn;

Then, if these medicines are distributed to every corner of Nanding Kingdom, wouldn't that cure all the diseases in Nanding Kingdom?

"This is our first step, which is to train doctors. The second step is to build medical clinics throughout the entire country."

After listening to Guan Zhiyue's words, Li Qiji felt that what she said made a lot of sense, so he nodded and gestured for Zhao Lihua to continue. He was quite interested now!

"We plan to implement all these major projects within five years, that is, to have tens of thousands of medical institutions of all sizes in Jeonnam Dinhkho within five years."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiji immediately said, "Yue'er, won't this cost a lot of money?"

"Our national treasury is not full. No matter how much we tighten our belts, it is impossible to build tens of thousands of medical institutions within five years."

Guan Zhiyue's lips twitched, and then she said, "Big brother, I meant for example, metaphor!"

Li Qiji seemed not to have heard Guan Zhiyue's words at all, only hearing the words "Big Brother".

His jealousy flared up, and he stopped, straightening Guan Zhiyue up so they were face to face. He placed his hands on her shoulders and said, "Yue'er, I am your husband, the husband you married, not your elder brother."

Guan Zhiyue: "..." Why are you focusing on completely different things?

"Yes, Your Majesty, you're the boss now, aren't you?"

Upon hearing Guan Zhiyue's address, Li Qiji was displeased again. It sounded even older than the previous address! Absolutely not!

"I am your husband, not your elder brother, not your uncle!"

Helpless, Guan Zhiyue pulled her hands off his shoulders and said, "Yes, yes, you're my husband, alright?"

Li Qiji immediately looked at Guan Zhiyue like a child and said, "Then can you call me husband?"

Guan Zhiyue looked at Li Qiji with the kind of eyes that show concern for intellectually disabled children, and then said, "Are you out of your mind tonight? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Li Qiji was puzzled and then said, "No, what's wrong, Yue'er? Don't you like me?"

Guan Zhiyue turned her head to look at Li Qiji, sized him up, and then said, "I think there's something wrong with you!"

Guan Zhiyue shook her head. She didn't want to talk to him anymore. She wanted to get away from this fool. She broke free from Li Qiji's coercion and strode towards the Cold Palace.

Seeing Guan Zhiyue leave, Li Qiji quickly followed behind her, saying excitedly, "Yue'er, wait for me!"

Guan Zhiyue raised her hand to cover her ears, not wanting to hear him speak anymore, and quickly walked forward!

Unexpectedly, Li Qiji, with his long legs, caught up with Guan Zhiyue without hesitation and followed her, running together towards the Cold Palace.

A long line of servants followed behind him. Hua Quan looked at the Emperor and Guan Zhiyue, then at Ji Wu beside him, and said, "Some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in floods! Why doesn't Your Majesty know to spread your favors more evenly?"

Ji Wu crossed his arms, held the sword in his arms, gently stroked it, glanced at Hua Quan, and said, "Eunuch Hua doesn't understand. After all, such things require mutual affection."

"In my opinion, the Emperor and Empress are indeed very much in love lately!" Ji Wu replied.

Then he added, "Eunuch Hua, you may not know this, but our Emperor and Empress have been spending every day together in Sihuangzhou, eating and sleeping together."

Hua Quan's eyes widened upon hearing this. Did that mean that their palace would soon have a new master?

"Oh, does that mean we'll be able to see the little princess and the little prince soon?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wu's lips twitched. However, in his opinion, it would be a miracle if their Emperor and Empress could have a child so quickly.

The two chatted animatedly in the back, while Li Qiji and Guan Zhiyue had a race to see who could walk faster!

Guan Zhiyue started running with small, quick steps as she walked, clearly not wanting to admit defeat at all!

"Yue'er, please be careful!"

Guan Zhiyue: "You should mind your own business."

The two of them happily ran towards the Cold Palace.
