Lan An stroked Chu Qiuze's back and waited until he relaxed before continuing to explain.

"Princess Anbei is the only granddaughter of General Dingbei. General Dingbei's family is full of loyal and brave people. General Dingbei's son, who is also Anbei's father, ended up with his head and body separated in order to save me."

Chu Qiuze's heart skipped a beat. In this age of cold weapons, there was no humanity at all, let alone any conventions regarding the treatment of prisoners of war.

Lan An's voice was hoarse, and his words were full of guilt. "If it weren't for An Bei's father, maybe we would never have met."

Chu Qiuze also felt sorry for him, but even if that was the case, he wouldn't give the child to Lan An to raise, right? Did he have no relatives at home?

Lan An's subsequent explanation answered Chu Qiuze's doubts.

"My whole family is gone, including Anbei's mother." Lan An couldn't bear to say this: "I was seriously injured in that battle. When I woke up, I learned that Anbei's mother was also gone."

As a qualified listener, Chu Qiuze knew that Lan An had not finished speaking, so he asked, "What about her mother?"

"Anbei's mother was originally a woman of the underworld. After learning that her husband's head and body were separated, she went to the enemy camp alone, brought back her husband's head, and destroyed the enemy's military supplies."

It was also because of this that they had a breakthrough in the war against the epidemic. It can be said that if it weren't for An Bei's mother's operation, who knows how many soldiers would have died if they wanted to win.

Chu Qiu Ze was filled with admiration. She was a heroine who was so sentimental. If this were made into a TV series in modern times, it would be a perfect drama with a heroine as the lead.

Lan An's eyes also showed admiration, as well as some emotion and regret: "It's a pity that she died of her serious injuries after returning. She also wanted to follow her husband and had no intention of living. In the end, she only left a letter to me and entrusted Anbei, who had just turned one month old, to me, asking me to wait until Anbei grew up before telling her the truth."

So that's why Lan An didn't explain yesterday.

Although Princess Anbei is only three years old, she is not completely ignorant. If Lan An had explained it to her yesterday, Anbei would definitely have understood some of it.

It is really wrong to let her endure all this at such a young age. It would be better to let her grow up happily and just treat it as Lan An's own child.

Do they need that little money to raise a child?

Lan An went on to say, "After the war was settled, I brought Anbei back to the imperial city. My brother the emperor gave her the title of Princess Anbei, and seeing that I had no children, he raised her in my name and adopted her as his daughter."

Chu Qiuze understood that Anbei was the nickname of the little kid and it really could not be considered a name. The reason why Lan An had never given him a name was probably because he wanted Anbei to be able to trace his ancestry when he grew up.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

The two elementary school students in love expressed in unison how tormented they were last night.

Chu Qiuze stood on tiptoe and kissed Lan An on the corner of his lips, "I will help you raise An Bei."

Lan An kissed her back, "This is my responsibility. It's good that you can accept her. Don't worry about the rest."

He didn't know how to take care of a child, so Anbei was always left to his mother to raise, and he really didn't have to worry about anything.

"That won't work. Isn't your responsibility my responsibility?" Chu Qiuze was unconvinced. "I still expect Anbei to call me dad!"

"Dad?" What does that mean?

"Hey, I'm here!" Chu Qiuze secretly took advantage of him, "Dad means daddy, what do you think? Daddy?"

What's this strange thing about you calling me dad and I calling you daddy?

Blue Gum: “….”

He pinched Chu Qiuze's little face helplessly and dotingly, look how naughty you are.

Chu Qiuze pouted and thought of what he had deliberately ignored yesterday. "I noticed that An Bei's lips looked unhealthy yesterday. Have you checked her body?"

"It's really not good." Lan An's face was a little solemn: "The imperial physician said that there is something wrong with the heart. Take good care of it, maybe it will grow up. Don't stimulate it casually, and don't make it angry."

That's heart disease. The medical level in our country is backward, and there is basically no cure for major internal diseases.

In the 21st century, many diseases can be cured through surgery.

Lan An asked again: "So, I was thinking before, maybe I can ask big brother to help see if there is a cure."

Chu Qiuze shook his head. His brother was not a cardiologist. Although he could do some basic tests, he was not a professional after all.

"If possible, bring Anbei to our place for treatment." Chu Qiuze made up his mind. "Everyone has his own expertise. My brother is more proficient in surgery, not cardiology."

Lan An was nervous just now, thinking that the reason Chu Qiu Ze disagreed was probably because his brother-in-law could not accept the fact that he had a daughter.

But I didn't expect that it was my own petty mind.

However, if you want to go to that world, you still have to plan for the long term and not act rashly.

Although Anbei is still young and has a miserable life experience, he was raised in the palace since he was a child, with everything provided for him. I wonder if he can adapt to and accept modern life.

And if surgery is needed, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time and will have to stay in the hospital for a while.

"No rush." ​​Lan An said, "The imperial physician said An Bei's condition is still good, and he has been taking medicine to recuperate."

Chu Qiuze nodded, thinking that he should inform his brother first. He also had to find a way to get An Bei's ID card, otherwise he would not be able to go to the hospital for treatment.

"Leave this matter to me. I'll go back and discuss it with my brother tonight."

"Okay." Lan An really didn't know how to repay Chu Qiu Ze's kindness.

Thinking back to the days from when they met until now, it seemed that what Chu Qiu Ze wanted was the gratitude of the people. Although he didn't know why, Lan An still felt that this was the only thing he could do for him.

After the matter was explained, the two of them reconciled and talked about the follow-up of their conversation with the emperor yesterday.

The old emperor drafted an imperial edict that day, ordering the establishment of schools, revision of textbooks, and construction of roads, all of which could be implemented immediately.

There are other things that need to be studied and improved, which have already been gradually implemented.

Also, Lan An had brought Xiong Chumo back before, and Xiong Chumo has now entered the Imperial Hospital, studying the medical books brought by Chu Qiuze with the old doctors, so that he can promote the medical skills in the books in the future.

Whether a country is strong or not depends not only on its economy, but also on its medical care, education, and employment of its people.

Encouraging farming and reclaiming wasteland is also a way to increase production.

The two discussed the subsequent issues that needed attention and what needed to be supplemented, and then they had the day off.

"Take me out for a look?" Chu Qiuze suggested, "I didn't have a chance to take a good look at your most prosperous imperial city yesterday while I was in the carriage."

Lan An responded to all requests and prepared to ask his servants to make arrangements.

"No, let's just go out for a walk, I don't want to bother everyone." Chu Qiuze really wasn't used to the feeling of having a bunch of people following him to serve him whenever he went out.

"Okay." There was no reason for Lan An to not agree to his request, so he just called two secret guards to protect him secretly.

Chu Qiuze's leg had only recently recovered, and now he could only walk slowly and could not walk for too long at a time.

He took Lan'an's arm, and the two of them walked leisurely in the streets and alleys of the imperial city. Lan'an explained a few words to him from time to time.

This scene attracted countless people's attention.

Seeing that he was dressed strangely and walking with the Regent, many people had guessed that he might be the God of Light engraved on the stone tablet outside the city gate.

Thinking about the imperial edict issued by the emperor yesterday to establish a school, and the smooth road under my feet, I was filled with gratitude.

Chu Qiuze was enjoying the scenery while collecting gratitude points. He felt very happy and relaxed, thinking that he could actually collect a lot of gratitude points just by walking on the street.

Moreover, the people in the imperial city have a large base of abilities. Even if the gratitude points are scattered, each person has dozens or even hundreds of them.

If he had known that the gratitude from the imperial city was so easy to obtain, he would have come a long time ago.

It was obvious that he didn't know that Lan An had erected a monument of merit for him.

Of course, Lan An was not going to tell him that compared to what Chu Qiu Ze had done for Da Han, erecting a monument was insignificant.

The environment and conditions of the Imperial City are indeed much better than those of Mirror City.

Only by looking at people's livelihood can we see what Dahan needs for development.

Along the way, Chu Qiuze made several suggestions, all of which were adopted by Lan An.

"Don't just follow my lead." Chu Qiuze wanted to laugh. His blue friend always agreed to everything he said and nodded in agreement.

He is not a native of Dahan, nor has he lived in Dahan for long. The suggestions he puts forward are for reference only and need to be combined with the actual situation before a conclusion can be drawn.

"Your suggestions are all good, why shouldn't I follow your lead?" Lan An's eyes were full of tenderness.

No matter what kind of reforms Chu Qiuze wants to make in Dahan, he will clear all obstacles for Chu Qiuze.

What's more, as the regent of Dahan, he should follow the instructions of the God of Light and make Dahan better and stronger.

Is there anything wrong with this?

"Are you tired?" Lan An saw that Chu Qiuze's steps were getting slower and slower.

Chu Qiuze nodded, "A little bit, let's find a place to rest for a while."

Seeing his friend Lan preparing to take him to the restaurant on the street, he grabbed Lan An's hand.

"Let's just sit here and drink some tea." Chu Qiu Ze pointed to the small tea stall on the corner of the street.

This place doesn't seem to be suitable for the position of Regent King or God.

"You don't understand this." Chu Qiuze pulled Lan An to sit down, "You need to experience the lives of ordinary people to know what they need."

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The people are the water that carries the boat!

Only when the people live a good life can the country become strong.

The owner of the tea stall was a skinny man in his thirties. He only cared about living his own life. He didn't know the Regent and just thought he was a rich young man. When he saw Chu Qiu Ze was dressed strangely, he just thought he was a foreigner.

These people cannot be offended, so he approached and greeted them carefully: "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

"Just a pot of tea will be fine." Chu Qiuze saw that although the teahouse was small and only served ordinary people, the chairs and benches were all wiped clean.

The tea is not very tasty, it is made of low-quality tea stems, but on a cold winter day, drinking a cup of it can warm your body.

Chu Qiuze saw that the teahouse uncle had a worried look on his face, so he asked with concern, "Uncle, have you encountered any difficulties?"

The uncle at the tea stall wiped the table with a rag and saw that the two men were of extraordinary bearing and both were not short of money. In this imperial city, there were many people who were not short of money, but there were also many who were powerful and influential.

Thinking of his poor concubine, the uncle plucked up his courage and said, "Sir, you are thoughtful. My daughter has not yet reached the age of marriage, but I never thought that the son of the Minister of Justice would marry her as a concubine."

After saying this, he knelt down and said, "You two must be extraordinary. I hope you can make the decision for me."

The Ministry of Justice, in the imperial city, is just a ninth-rank official.

But the people have never fought against the officials, so when the people encounter such things, they really have nowhere to seek justice.
