"Remember to have Zhongyu treat Lao Si's illness."
"Your subject has remembered."
Lan Ye accepted the order and left.
After he left, a person emerged from the shadows and knelt down where Lan Ye had just knelt, saying, "Father."
The king stared at the people below, "Lan Zhi, do all your brothers want the position you desire?"
Lan Zhi looked up, "But what Father wants, only I can do."
"I don't think the other three would be kind to Lan'er, given her character."
Lan Zhi stared into the king's eyes, "If Father really thought that way, he wouldn't be worrying about it all day long."
The king's eyes, weathered by time, stared at Lan Zhi. This was his eldest son, who had been opposing him ever since he got involved with Long Yuan. Now he was even threatening him with his own sister. What a filial son!
After a long pause, Wang finally spoke, "Then it depends on whether you can keep your promise."
Lan Zhi looked excited; his father had actually relented!
He kowtowed, "Thank you for your trust, Father. Your son will certainly not let you down!"
After Lan Zhi left, the king sighed, "None of them are composed..."
The person behind him spoke up, "Don't worry, the princes will grow up gradually."
How could the king be at ease? He didn't have much time left, and suddenly someone brought up, "The second prince didn't come again this time?"
The man replied, "The second prince said that he has difficulty walking and therefore will not come, for fear that you will be angry if you see him."
"Hmph, he has the nerve to say he's afraid I'll be angry? If he hadn't fallen off a horse when he was a kid, would he be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life?"
After complaining, he sighed, "Sigh, that child has been smart since childhood, but now all he knows is to stay at home picking flowers and planting grass..."
The people behind him fell silent, listening quietly to the elderly king's self-narration, his worries about the country and its people, his children. After a while, the king found it meaningless, and of course, talking to himself was meaningless. He could at least hum in response, "Go on, your mind is not on me anyway."
The person behind him immediately took his leave, without any hesitation.
Your Majesty, "..."
After he left, the king's previously worried and reddened eyes gradually hardened. This man was good in every way, except that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. He believed that for that woman, this man would betray his country...
…
The thumping sound gradually approached in the quiet garden.
Bai Yi, who was in a daze, turned around when she heard the voice, recognized the person, and was about to leave when she was stopped. "Hello."
Bai Yi asked in surprise, "How did you know there were people here?"
She didn't make a sound.
Lan Ji smiled faintly, "My eyesight is not good, so my hearing is more sensitive than that of ordinary people. I heard Miss's sigh."
Bai Yi: She sighed? How come she didn't know?
"If you have any worries, Miss, you can talk to me about them. Sometimes, talking about things makes you feel much better."
Bai Yi waved her hand in front of his eyes. Lan Ji noticed and said, "I don't know who Miss is, and I have no interest in worldly affairs."
The implication was that he wouldn't tell anyone else what the young lady was thinking.
Bai Yi: "Oh."
She really wanted to ask you, "If you're so indifferent to worldly affairs, why do you care about her sighing?"
But she really has something troubling her that she wants to talk to someone about. "It's not really anything, it's just that I haven't been sleeping well lately and I keep having nightmares."
Lan Ji said, "I see. I also often have trouble sleeping and have consulted many doctors. Later, I obtained a sachet, and I happen to have an extra one. I'll give one to you, Miss."
Bai Yi shook her head, "That would be too embarrassing."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about; it's all fate."
Bai Yi thought about it and realized, yes, it was a fateful connection with nightmares.
