[Comprehensive] Doudou, you don't understand love
Chapter 84 Magi·The 7th Night
Feeling the slight stiffness of Kasim's shoulders, Xiaodou's heartbeat trembled quickly, and continued: "You write for me." The two of them imitated handwriting when they were kidnapped by Barbad.
Kasim looked at her blankly for two seconds, and took the half-copied book in front of her to him.
Xiaodou curled up the corners of her mouth, and made an inch of it: "Write today's homework for me too~"
"..." Kasim turned his head and stared at her with drooping eyelids. "What's going on with you recently?"
"It's too boring, I'm not motivated..." Xiaodou slowly perfunctory, rubbing his head to a more comfortable position on his shoulder, calling him in a protracted voice like a sigh, overshadowing the voice of inquiry he was about to leave . "Kasim..."
In this way, the performance of a girl of royal descent who is in a slightly abnormal state and has some dark signs for unknown reasons...
Kasim made up his mind, and finally didn't ask any more questions after a while. He put down his paperwork, took hers and began to write without any complaints.
Xiaodou hooked the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes.
The room fell into silence again, only the rustling sound of writing remained.
After all, it was a double workload. Kasim hadn't finished writing until late at night, and occasionally had to free up his hands to help Xiaodou's head back when he was sleeping soundly on his shoulder.He concentrated on writing with his head down, and he didn't see the old He Song who was sleeping on the couch beside him suddenly opened one eye silently.
Looking at Kasim and Xiaodou who was lazily sleeping beside him, the old man's gaze sank like a torch, then he closed his eyes again and smacked his lips soundlessly.
……
When Xiaodou woke up early the next morning with yawns, she found that she had been moved back to the bedroom at some point.After freshening up, I went to He Song's residence. As soon as I got outside the study, the black needles started trembling again!Xiaodou stopped to listen to the movement inside, and He Song was sneering: "The nobles who manage the mines are all raised like fat pigs. The fat and lean meat are cut up and roasted to fill the stomachs of the craftsmen. It is estimated that this year's Molan mine There will be no one starving to death here. I should slaughter all these scumbags, and exchange all the money hoarded by the family for food for the artisans."
Kasim's voice. "Even if the noble in charge is really beheaded now, there will be a new noble to take his place in the future. It's better to keep the existing system and let the supervisors distribute the wages according to the output of the craftsmen. The craftsmen will work harder and their lives will be better." It can be improved. Little Hesong has already negotiated with the manager here, and the other side is happy to see the result."
"Didn't you still advocate the overthrow of the current mine management system?"
Kasim was silent for a moment. "If the management rights of all nobles to the mines are directly banned, the output and trade of the precious mines will be affected, and the domestic financial situation will be even more difficult."
"It doesn't matter if you watch these craftsmen suffer?"
“…reform doesn’t happen overnight.”
The room was silent for a moment, until He Song suddenly laughed.
"That's right. If you had had this courage, you wouldn't have been kicked out of Barbard like a homeless dog."
An explosive straight ball directly stunned Xiaodou!
He Song's voice continued.
"Like you used to, robbing the rich and the poor, what a fucking revolution? Even if you really get the head of King Barbad, whether you break it or stand it, what will you do afterwards? Do people in the slums go to knock off the gold bricks of the palace to exchange for food? Everyone does not produce labor, but go to search for the gold and silver of the rich? Stupid, stupid, even if all the gold and silver of a country are exchanged for food rations with foreign countries, it is still impossible. I can’t feed the stomachs of the poor. The little bastard only knows how to look from the bottom up, his vision is too narrow, and his technique is too rough. Do you understand where I went wrong in the past? Clamp all three legs for me, and learn how to look up from the top Look down."
Xiaodou looked down at the slowly advancing black needle on the dial, stood for a while, and quietly walked out of the yard along the way she came.
The old man is really an assist...
Of course, the one who invited him out of the mountain at the beginning, didn't he also have a clever plan?
Looking at it from the top down or something....Step up to a higher place little by little, and open those eyes that were once blinded by resentment, boy. (:3っ)3
Putting the pointer back on his body, Xiaodou stood outside the door for a while, until he saw He Song coming out of the study, he pretended to come in to greet him, and said with a smile: "It's so early, Grandpa He Song. Thank you for your hard work."
He Song's beard twitched, "What the hell, why are you here so late! Get out and copy the books for me! Be a little bit more aggressive, and I won't have to work so hard!" He waved her crutches like a threat and drove her into the study. Only then left angrily.
Xiaodou stood there watching the back of the old man disappearing in the corridor.
...It is indeed hard work.A veteran who has gone through three generations, he is too old to rest in peace, and works hard only to cultivate wings for the future prince.Of course, it is also because Kasim, the prince's quasi-wing (?) is also the prince's quasi-lover, and also has a somewhat dangerous physique of a gray-style politician, so the old man has to pay so much extra attention, so as not to mislead the prince in the future ...
But in the end, I still have to live up to the old man's will...
Thinking of this, Xiaodou's mood was a little bit complicated.
It's this kind of character design with a cruelty bonus and a sharp weapon... I feel a little overwhelmed.
Fork, I accidentally said "again"... Kish loyal dogs in the distance, are you all right?
After staying outside the door for a while, she sorted out her emotions and walked quickly into the inner room of the study.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kasim, who was leaning on the table and looking down at the book, raised his head, saw her, and said lazily, "Morning."
——The demeanor is his usual laziness, without a trace of abnormality, as if the aggressive conversation with He Song just now had never happened.
The sunlight fell into the young man's eyes, embellishing his calm expression even more peacefully.
Looking at him for a moment, Xiaodou slowly showed a nonchalant smile. "Morning. I was fined again, and I will copy books for me today."
……
When they came out of He Song's residence, it was already dark. Xiaodou and Kasim had just walked out of the side hall when they ran into God Zhanzhan. see her.
"The king woke up at noon, and he has seen several concubine and ministers." The waiter finished speaking respectfully, and glanced at Kasim. "Mr. Qasim, come too."
Xiaodou originally thought that the first thing King Molan would do was to play Tuogu, but he didn't expect to meet his concubine first, so he felt a little subtle.Furthermore, the king asked to see Kasim by name, so he made a subtle second...
The two followed the waiter to the door of King Molan's bedroom, just in time to see a concubine come out of the door and order the female officer to change the incense jar.Xiaodou was taken aback for a moment—this girl was an acquaintance, she was the one who spoke to Kasim at the palace banquet before.
He Song returned to the royal capital to assist in government affairs, and Kasim frequented the palace after class, so the relationship between him and Xiaodou was somewhat subtle (the second generation ancestors and concubines in the palace were all gossip madmen), and This concubine is especially obsessed with Kasim, so his attitude towards Xiaodou is also quite amazing.Seeing this concubine's half-smile, somewhat spectatorial glance, before Xiaodoupin could say anything, the servants beside King Molan had already started calling names to announce.
The king's dormitory is even more luxurious and spacious than the quasi-prince's dormitory where Xiaodou lives. After entering the dormitory, Xiaodou stood separately from Kasim and walked to the front of the line of ministers. There was still some distance from the king's tent, and he couldn't see clearly the innermost bedroom. The appearance of the Molan King on the golden bed.After the courtiers arrived one after another, the political affairs officer began to read out the imperial decree that the princess of Yeshu would temporarily take over the royal power, and formally established the princess as the heir apparent at the same time.Probably because King Molan was so ill that his lifespan was calculated in hours, and the whole process did not last long. When King Molan tremblingly stretched out a hand from the bed curtain, unscrewed the ring and the gems on the scepter, After overriding the king's seal, it was over, and the courtiers simply saluted and then left the bedroom.
Xiaodou clasps the scepter brought up by the attendant with folded hands, and stands in the sleeping hall until the crowd has cleared away. The concubine who has been waiting by the king's side whispered a few words to King Molan. , stood up suddenly, and walked towards Xiaodou: "The king wants you to speak in front of the bed." He looked at Lord Kasim again: "You follow too." He said and ordered the servants to retreat outside the bedroom door, hide closed the door.
King Molan had been ill for a long time and did not like the light. Most of the lights in the palace were extinguished by the courtiers when the courtiers went out, leaving only a few dim incense lamps flickering.When Xiaodou walked to King Molan's bed, he saw a dry wood-like hand protruding from the stacked ornate curtains, which looked extremely wilted and lifeless under the dim light.
She lifted up the outer curtain and hung it on the golden hook, revealing little by little the man lying in the innermost, luxuriously dressed but haggard.
King Molan turned his cloudy eyes and looked at Xiaodou blankly.
"You came."
Xiaodou calmly stepped on the point of Princess Yeshu. "You have something to say to me?"
King Molan's eyes shifted to Kasim who was standing aside. "Reguo has already told me about your recent situation after returning to the palace."
Reguo is the concubine who has thoughts about Kasim.Hearing that Xiaodou was slightly taken aback, before he could answer, King Molan continued hoarsely: "After your brother died, you are the only one left with pure blood among my heirs, and you are the only one who can inherit the throne. After I die, you must choose a husband from men with the same surname as the king, and you must not let the blood of people with other surnames stain the king's blood."
Adzuki glanced at Kasim reflexively.The young man stood quietly by the side with his head bowed, his face was hidden in the darkness of the backlight, and his expression could not be seen clearly. When she looked over, she happened to see his eyelids quivering for a moment before returning to calm.King Molan turned a blind eye and closed his eyes in a disgusted tone. "You guys go. Ask Reguo to come in and accompany me."
Xiaodou didn't answer immediately, but turned her face to the side as if thinking about something, and slowly frowned.
"Is that all you have to say to me?"
King Molan moved his eyelids and opened them again.
Xiaodou looked back at him silently.
After a long time, she stroked the cold jewel at the top of the scepter with her hand and said, "Don't you have anything to tell me about my mother?"
King Moran had just forced his clear eyes to dim again, as if he didn't even bother to look at her anymore. "There is no need to talk about dead people."
Xiaodou paused for a while, then spoke calmly.
"Inherit the throne, continue the bloodline, these things you want me to do, forgive me for not agreeing."
King Molan curled up his hands outside the tent and trembled slightly. "What did you say?"
"The scepter is under my control now," Xiaodou raised the corners of her mouth, and tapped the resplendent bedpost with the scepter, "but it's only temporary. In the future, it will definitely not fall into the hands of someone who bleeds your blood."
King Molan took a sharp breath, his body convulsed slightly. "Ridiculous, why on earth are you—"
Xiaodou's eyes shone slightly, and she answered softly: "Even if a despicable person is born with a noble blood, he is still despicable. You really don't deserve to stand in such a position as the king of a country."
King Molan's eyes widened suddenly, his body trembled violently, and he wanted to speak but he could only open his mouth hoarsely because of his lack of energy.
Xiaodou continued: "...so I, who inherited your blood, am afraid I am not worthy of the throne."
After the words fell, a familiar voice sounded in my mind.
【Love Pointer is at your service.Target person: Kasim, BE progress increased by 10%. 】
……
The servants waiting outside the palace door were awakened by the sound of the palace door opening, and then they saw the princess and Kasim rushing out. The former hurriedly said: "The king has passed out, please call the doctor quickly." Come!"
The palace was in chaos immediately, and naturally no one had the leisure to ask the princess what happened.
Xiaodou pulled Kassim out quickly. Before he let go of his arm, he walked along the corridor to the corner among the chaotic servants, and felt that Kasim's wrist was held back by his hand, and he couldn't help but stop. Step back.
The young boy's shock when he first heard what she said in the dormitory has faded away, and a gloomy expression has replaced his brows.
Xiaodou stood where she was, and quickly touched the pulse of Yeshu's princess at the moment, and slowly burst into a faint smile. "What's wrong?"
Kasim opened and closed his lips quickly, and then said softly, "Are you crazy?"
Xiaodou stopped laughing.
"What are you worried about?" she said lightly. "It is impossible for him to take back the scepter. If the throne falls to anyone other than me, the Huang Kingdom will immediately get an excuse to break the contract. Once the country is gone, the royal family and bloodline honor he has been thinking about will be destroyed. , he had no choice."
Kasim tightened his grip on her wrist slightly, looking straight into her eyes. "... When did you remember the past?"
Xiaodou looked away noncommittally, staring at the busy palace servants at the door of the dormitory, and was silent for a while, then took a quick step closer to Kasim, and pressed his forehead to his chest, "Don't tell anyone what happened in the dormitory today."
However, they leaned lightly and then separated, when the footsteps of the palace servants came from behind the two, she had already stepped back and looked at him again as usual, her eyes were burning but clear.
Amid the hasty greetings from the palace people, she tilted her head and laughed again.
"Help me with my homework today."
……
King Molan died suddenly in the early morning of the fourth day after falling back into a coma.
After Xiaodou formally took over the power of the prime minister, he immediately delegated the decision-making power and the power to appoint and remove new ministers to He Song; Mo Lan's chaotic internal affairs were slowly sorted out by the new blood brought by He Song. The climate is still bad, but because He Song is in charge, the gradually reduced royal family expenses did not cause much rebound.
It wasn't until Xiaodou went to visit Senapu outside the palace one day, and found that the new shop opened by her and Hassan in the port of Molan had opened to welcome customers, that she realized that half a year had passed before she knew it.
Xiaodou chatted with them about the recent situation of the rest of the thieves group: "Why didn't you see Sariye and Dolo?"
Sennap and Hassan glanced at each other. The former went outside and closed the store door, while the latter took a sip of his cigarette and said vaguely: "The adults at the upper level are reorganizing their armaments and recruiting new soldiers. Sariye and Hassan His brother is off for the conquest, and Barbadoro has a girl he wants to marry."
Xiaodou was stunned, "Married? Does Barbatoro want to take root in Molan?"
"It's not just him, there are many people who plan to live here for a long time and won't go back." Hassan laughed, with no dissatisfaction or anger on his expression, "It's all people who just wanted to get their fill of food. It’s understandable for a guy who only follows us for a living to make such a choice.”
Xiaodou was stunned for a while, then asked: "What about you? How did you plan?"
"What's that expression on your face? Of course we will continue to follow the boss." Hassan said with a smile, "Opening a shop here is just to help the boss observe the people's livelihood here, so as not to bully the poor again, but also follow Lamir to understand Import and export of some magic weapons. And Sariye, he wants to make a name for himself in the army... You can't do anything if you stand still, and it's useless to be as reckless as before..." The big man said The single eye shone brightly. "Before the boss tells us the time is right to take us back to that country, all we have to do is continue to prepare here."
Xiaodou didn't know what to say.
Alas, the progress is gratifying...
And what Sennapu said next, made Dou'er can't help but sigh that the progress is gratifying × 2——
"By the way, Sariye asked you to send a message to Mr. Hesong, saying thank you for his help. This time he was able to enter the army thanks to Mrs. Hesong's efforts. Although it is Mr. Kasim But it’s better to say thank you in person, but it’s a pity that Lord Hesong can’t see it easily..."
Xiaodou responded, "The two of them were still fighting each other when we first started class, but I didn't expect their relationship to be so good now."
Hassan immediately asked about He Song and Kasim very gossipingly.
Until the sun was sinking, Xiaodou said goodbye and went back to the palace, Suo Dan's mother came up to meet her: "Your Highness, Master Xiao Hesong sent this back today."
What Suo Dan handed over was the gemstone ring specially used by King Molan to store the king's seal, and it was also the only evidence for the king's official reply and decree.Xiaodou picked up the ring and looked at it, propped his chin and said, "It takes a lot of trouble to send the processed official documents here for me to seal every day. Isn't it the same to stay in the government affairs hall to give instructions and use the seal?"
"Master Little Hesong also asked me to tell you, 'Your Highness, don't be too nonsense'."
Xiaodou leaned on the table and chuckled softly.
In the past half a year, old He Song has been trying to train him. He originally trained Kasim to be a minister, so he gave Kassim a position in the government affairs office very early, but what he didn't expect was that Xiaodou turned around and started to lose his burden. In half a year, more and more government affairs were slowly thrown to Kasim and little Hesong—it was only tentative at first, until she found out that old Hesong was being kept secret and little Hesong was pushing her hands, so she simply He became blatant, and not only handed over all the official documents to them, but even his own king's seal.
"Does Little He Song have anything else to say?"
"Yes. He asked me to tell you that he and Lord Kasim have already set off for Danyara to inspect. He also said that Danyara's emeralds and sapphires are of the best quality."
Xiaodou murmured: "The largest mine veins in the country are all in Danyala, which is far away from the capital, and the power of the nobles is more complicated. There are other high-level political officials, and Kasim has no real position and decision-making power. How can this be beneficial?" Grind it." She rubbed the ring a few times with her fingers reluctantly, she sighed, and smashed the ring on the ground!
Suo Dan was unmoved, but Kalma was taken aback, and stepped forward to pick up the ring—the body of the ring has been replaced and re-set many times, and it was passed to Xiaodou's hands to be polished with fragile precious ore. It was broken into several pieces, and the hard king seal inside fell off.Seeing Karma looking over, Xiaodou smiled and said: "Wrap the ring well, quickly catch up with the convoy of political officials heading for Danyala, and hand it to Xiao Hesong with your own hands. It is said that the king accidentally broke the ring inlaid with the king's seal." For the ring, the emeralds from other places are not good. When they go to Danyala, they should use the best emeralds there to set them again. They must use the best quality. Remember not to let him and Kasim people heard."
Karma quickly agreed and took the ring and retreated.
……
Three months later.
"After the political officials sent by the king's capital to Danyala investigated the crimes of the local nobles who managed the mines, they were not sentenced to death, but Lord Kasim and Lord Hesong took out the king's seal and ordered an investigation. It was the intention of the owner of the mine to do business with Zhixiang privately. Later, it was discovered that they had concealed the output of the precious mine, and signed a contract with Zhixiang to smuggle gems at a low price. The two adults then took out the second punishment. According to the decree, all the local nobles were executed."
Old He Song stopped writing, waved back the person who brought the news, and turned to Xiaodou beside him: "You actually handed over the king's seal to them?"
Xiaodou rolled her eyes, "I'm not lying, I did tell you that Wang Yinnai went to a craftsman to re-insert it."
Old He Song directly threw the pen in his hand, "Smart, fart!!"
Xiaodou dodged the thrown pen, changed the subject, and said, "Grandpa Hesong, when are you going to officially give Lamir a rank in the army?"
"Haven't fought a serious battle, what a fart!?" He Song scolded, "Take this!" Throwing a document to Xiaodou, "Take it to Kasim, let him take this to the government affairs office! "
Xiaodou smiled and took the official documents out of the palace to find Kasim who had just returned from Danyala.The timing was perfect, and when she arrived, Kasim had just returned from the baths, and his hair was still dripping.The two were taken aback when they met, and Xiaodou looked him up and down: "You seem to have grown taller again."
On the contrary, Kasim refused to recognize his life, and raised his lips slightly, "Fat."
Xiaodou pouted, and stuffed the official document into his hand, "Is everything ready?"
Kasim nodded, took out two identical exquisite rings from the small locked box beside him, and opened the gemstone on the upper layer, and there were two identical royal seals.Xiaodou asked, "Which one is the fake?", and casually put the fake one on her finger, and praised: "The craftsman of Dan Yala is really amazing."
Kasim's eyes sank, "What are you thinking?"
"What do you think? Really, it's convenient for you to review official documents, and you won't be scolded by Grandpa Hesong."
Kasim held the seal of the real king in his hand and looked at her quietly without answering.
Xiaodou turned the ring on his hand with great interest: "I remember I didn't tell you the size of my finger, why is it so suitable?"
Kasim sighed and put the pipe in her mouth into her mouth, "Let's go to the government affairs hall."
Xiaodou just smiled lazily with his pipe in his mouth.
When Kassim handed over the official document at the government affairs hall, Keshman, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came out with a smile on his stomach, and handed a government official's seal to Kassim, congratulating him one after another.
So far, Molan's first aristocratic force controlling the main mine veins has been uprooted, and the little Hesong and Kasim who have done meritorious service finally have real positions to participate in politics.
In the same year, Kasim began to travel among the important cities of Molan with other political officials to sort out and reform the internal affairs.
The young man is constantly changing, and his wings are getting richer.
Kasim looked at her blankly for two seconds, and took the half-copied book in front of her to him.
Xiaodou curled up the corners of her mouth, and made an inch of it: "Write today's homework for me too~"
"..." Kasim turned his head and stared at her with drooping eyelids. "What's going on with you recently?"
"It's too boring, I'm not motivated..." Xiaodou slowly perfunctory, rubbing his head to a more comfortable position on his shoulder, calling him in a protracted voice like a sigh, overshadowing the voice of inquiry he was about to leave . "Kasim..."
In this way, the performance of a girl of royal descent who is in a slightly abnormal state and has some dark signs for unknown reasons...
Kasim made up his mind, and finally didn't ask any more questions after a while. He put down his paperwork, took hers and began to write without any complaints.
Xiaodou hooked the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes.
The room fell into silence again, only the rustling sound of writing remained.
After all, it was a double workload. Kasim hadn't finished writing until late at night, and occasionally had to free up his hands to help Xiaodou's head back when he was sleeping soundly on his shoulder.He concentrated on writing with his head down, and he didn't see the old He Song who was sleeping on the couch beside him suddenly opened one eye silently.

I should slaughter all these scumbags, and exchange all the money hoarded by the family for food for the artisans."
Kasim's voice. "Even if the noble in charge is really beheaded now, there will be a new noble to take his place in the future. It's better to keep the existing system and let the supervisors distribute the wages according to the output of the craftsmen. The craftsmen will work harder and their lives will be better." It can be improved. Little Hesong has already negotiated with the manager here, and the other side is happy to see the result."
"Didn't you still advocate the overthrow of the current mine management system?"

"That's right. If you had had this courage, you wouldn't have been kicked out of Barbard like a homeless dog."
An explosive straight ball directly stunned Xiaodou!
He Song's voice continued.
"Like you used to, robbing the rich and the poor, what a fucking revolution? Even if you really get the head of King Barbad, whether you break it or stand it, what will you do afterwards? Do people in the slums go to knock off the gold bricks of the palace to exchange for food? Everyone does not produce labor, but go to search for the gold and silver of the rich? Stupid, stupid, even if all the gold and silver of a country are exchanged for food rations with foreign countries, it is still impossible. I can’t feed the stomachs of the poor. The little bastard only knows how to look from the bottom up, his vision is too narrow, and his technique is too rough. Do you understand where I went wrong in the past?

"The king woke up at noon, and he has seen several concubine and ministers." The waiter finished speaking respectfully, and glanced at Kasim. "Mr. Qasim, come too."

King Molan had been ill for a long time and did not like the light. Most of the lights in the palace were extinguished by the courtiers when the courtiers went out, leaving only a few dim incense lamps flickering.When Xiaodou walked to King Molan's bed, he saw a dry wood-like hand protruding from the stacked ornate curtains, which looked extremely wilted and lifeless under the dim light.
She lifted up the outer curtain and hung it on the golden hook, revealing little by little the man lying in the innermost, luxuriously dressed but haggard.
King Molan turned his cloudy eyes and looked at Xiaodou blankly.
"You came."
Xiaodou calmly stepped on the point of Princess Yeshu. "You have something to say to me?"
King Molan's eyes shifted to Kasim who was standing aside. "Reguo has already told me about your recent situation after returning to the palace."
Reguo is the concubine who has thoughts about Kasim.Hearing that Xiaodou was slightly taken aback, before he could answer, King Molan continued hoarsely: "After your brother died, you are the only one left with pure blood among my heirs, and you are the only one who can inherit the throne. After I die, you must choose a husband from men with the same surname as the king, and you must not let the blood of people with other surnames stain the king's blood."
Adzuki glanced at Kasim reflexively.The young man stood quietly by the side with his head bowed, his face was hidden in the darkness of the backlight, and his expression could not be seen clearly. When she looked over, she happened to see his eyelids quivering for a moment before returning to calm.King Molan turned a blind eye and closed his eyes in a disgusted tone. "You guys go. Ask Reguo to come in and accompany me."
Xiaodou didn't answer immediately, but turned her face to the side as if thinking about something, and slowly frowned.
"Is that all you have to say to me?"
King Molan moved his eyelids and opened them again.
Xiaodou looked back at him silently.
After a long time, she stroked the cold jewel at the top of the scepter with her hand and said, "Don't you have anything to tell me about my mother?"
King Moran had just forced his clear eyes to dim again, as if he didn't even bother to look at her anymore. "There is no need to talk about dead people."
Xiaodou paused for a while, then spoke calmly.
"Inherit the throne, continue the bloodline, these things you want me to do, forgive me for not agreeing."
King Molan curled up his hands outside the tent and trembled slightly. "What did you say?"
"The scepter is under my control now," Xiaodou raised the corners of her mouth, and tapped the resplendent bedpost with the scepter, "but it's only temporary. In the future, it will definitely not fall into the hands of someone who bleeds your blood."
King Molan took a sharp breath, his body convulsed slightly. "Ridiculous, why on earth are you—"
Xiaodou's eyes shone slightly, and she answered softly: "Even if a despicable person is born with a noble blood, he is still despicable. You really don't deserve to stand in such a position as the king of a country."
King Molan's eyes widened suddenly, his body trembled violently, and he wanted to speak but he could only open his mouth hoarsely because of his lack of energy.
Xiaodou continued: "...so I, who inherited your blood, am afraid I am not worthy of the throne."
After the words fell, a familiar voice sounded in my mind.
【Love Pointer is at your service.Target person: Kasim, BE progress increased by 10%. 】
……
The servants waiting outside the palace door were awakened by the sound of the palace door opening, and then they saw the princess and Kasim rushing out. The former hurriedly said: "The king has passed out, please call the doctor quickly." Come!"
The palace was in chaos immediately, and naturally no one had the leisure to ask the princess what happened.
Xiaodou pulled Kassim out quickly. Before he let go of his arm, he walked along the corridor to the corner among the chaotic servants, and felt that Kasim's wrist was held back by his hand, and he couldn't help but stop. Step back.
The young boy's shock when he first heard what she said in the dormitory has faded away, and a gloomy expression has replaced his brows.
Xiaodou stood where she was, and quickly touched the pulse of Yeshu's princess at the moment, and slowly burst into a faint smile. "What's wrong?"
Kasim opened and closed his lips quickly, and then said softly, "Are you crazy?"
Xiaodou stopped laughing.
"What are you worried about?" she said lightly. "It is impossible for him to take back the scepter. If the throne falls to anyone other than me, the Huang Kingdom will immediately get an excuse to break the contract. Once the country is gone, the royal family and bloodline honor he has been thinking about will be destroyed. , he had no choice."
Kasim tightened his grip on her wrist slightly, looking straight into her eyes. "... When did you remember the past?"
Xiaodou looked away noncommittally, staring at the busy palace servants at the door of the dormitory, and was silent for a while, then took a quick step closer to Kasim, and pressed his forehead to his chest, "Don't tell anyone what happened in the dormitory today."
However, they leaned lightly and then separated, when the footsteps of the palace servants came from behind the two, she had already stepped back and looked at him again as usual, her eyes were burning but clear.
Amid the hasty greetings from the palace people, she tilted her head and laughed again.
"Help me with my homework today."
……
King Molan died suddenly in the early morning of the fourth day after falling back into a coma.
After Xiaodou formally took over the power of the prime minister, he immediately delegated the decision-making power and the power to appoint and remove new ministers to He Song; Mo Lan's chaotic internal affairs were slowly sorted out by the new blood brought by He Song. The climate is still bad, but because He Song is in charge, the gradually reduced royal family expenses did not cause much rebound.
It wasn't until Xiaodou went to visit Senapu outside the palace one day, and found that the new shop opened by her and Hassan in the port of Molan had opened to welcome customers, that she realized that half a year had passed before she knew it.
Xiaodou chatted with them about the recent situation of the rest of the thieves group: "Why didn't you see Sariye and Dolo?"
Sennap and Hassan glanced at each other. The former went outside and closed the store door, while the latter took a sip of his cigarette and said vaguely: "The adults at the upper level are reorganizing their armaments and recruiting new soldiers. Sariye and Hassan His brother is off for the conquest, and Barbadoro has a girl he wants to marry."
Xiaodou was stunned, "Married? Does Barbatoro want to take root in Molan?"
"It's not just him, there are many people who plan to live here for a long time and won't go back." Hassan laughed, with no dissatisfaction or anger on his expression, "It's all people who just wanted to get their fill of food. It’s understandable for a guy who only follows us for a living to make such a choice.”
Xiaodou was stunned for a while, then asked: "What about you? How did you plan?"
"What's that expression on your face? Of course we will continue to follow the boss." Hassan said with a smile, "Opening a shop here is just to help the boss observe the people's livelihood here, so as not to bully the poor again, but also follow Lamir to understand Import and export of some magic weapons. And Sariye, he wants to make a name for himself in the army... You can't do anything if you stand still, and it's useless to be as reckless as before..." The big man said The single eye shone brightly. "Before the boss tells us the time is right to take us back to that country, all we have to do is continue to prepare here."
Xiaodou didn't know what to say.
Alas, the progress is gratifying...
And what Sennapu said next, made Dou'er can't help but sigh that the progress is gratifying × 2——
"By the way, Sariye asked you to send a message to Mr. Hesong, saying thank you for his help. This time he was able to enter the army thanks to Mrs. Hesong's efforts. Although it is Mr. Kasim But it’s better to say thank you in person, but it’s a pity that Lord Hesong can’t see it easily..."
Xiaodou responded, "The two of them were still fighting each other when we first started class, but I didn't expect their relationship to be so good now."
Hassan immediately asked about He Song and Kasim very gossipingly.
Until the sun was sinking, Xiaodou said goodbye and went back to the palace, Suo Dan's mother came up to meet her: "Your Highness, Master Xiao Hesong sent this back today."
What Suo Dan handed over was the gemstone ring specially used by King Molan to store the king's seal, and it was also the only evidence for the king's official reply and decree.Xiaodou picked up the ring and looked at it, propped his chin and said, "It takes a lot of trouble to send the processed official documents here for me to seal every day. Isn't it the same to stay in the government affairs hall to give instructions and use the seal?"
"Master Little Hesong also asked me to tell you, 'Your Highness, don't be too nonsense'."
Xiaodou leaned on the table and chuckled softly.
In the past half a year, old He Song has been trying to train him. He originally trained Kasim to be a minister, so he gave Kassim a position in the government affairs office very early, but what he didn't expect was that Xiaodou turned around and started to lose his burden. In half a year, more and more government affairs were slowly thrown to Kasim and little Hesong—it was only tentative at first, until she found out that old Hesong was being kept secret and little Hesong was pushing her hands, so she simply He became blatant, and not only handed over all the official documents to them, but even his own king's seal.
"Does Little He Song have anything else to say?"
"Yes. He asked me to tell you that he and Lord Kasim have already set off for Danyara to inspect. He also said that Danyara's emeralds and sapphires are of the best quality."
Xiaodou murmured: "The largest mine veins in the country are all in Danyala, which is far away from the capital, and the power of the nobles is more complicated. There are other high-level political officials, and Kasim has no real position and decision-making power. How can this be beneficial?" Grind it." She rubbed the ring a few times with her fingers reluctantly, she sighed, and smashed the ring on the ground!
Suo Dan was unmoved, but Kalma was taken aback, and stepped forward to pick up the ring—the body of the ring has been replaced and re-set many times, and it was passed to Xiaodou's hands to be polished with fragile precious ore. It was broken into several pieces, and the hard king seal inside fell off.Seeing Karma looking over, Xiaodou smiled and said: "Wrap the ring well, quickly catch up with the convoy of political officials heading for Danyala, and hand it to Xiao Hesong with your own hands. It is said that the king accidentally broke the ring inlaid with the king's seal." For the ring, the emeralds from other places are not good. When they go to Danyala, they should use the best emeralds there to set them again. They must use the best quality. Remember not to let him and Kasim people heard."
Karma quickly agreed and took the ring and retreated.
……
Three months later.
"After the political officials sent by the king's capital to Danyala investigated the crimes of the local nobles who managed the mines, they were not sentenced to death, but Lord Kasim and Lord Hesong took out the king's seal and ordered an investigation. It was the intention of the owner of the mine to do business with Zhixiang privately. Later, it was discovered that they had concealed the output of the precious mine, and signed a contract with Zhixiang to smuggle gems at a low price. The two adults then took out the second punishment. According to the decree, all the local nobles were executed."
Old He Song stopped writing, waved back the person who brought the news, and turned to Xiaodou beside him: "You actually handed over the king's seal to them?"
Xiaodou rolled her eyes, "I'm not lying, I did tell you that Wang Yinnai went to a craftsman to re-insert it."
Old He Song directly threw the pen in his hand, "Smart, fart!!"
Xiaodou dodged the thrown pen, changed the subject, and said, "Grandpa Hesong, when are you going to officially give Lamir a rank in the army?"
"Haven't fought a serious battle, what a fart!?" He Song scolded, "Take this!" Throwing a document to Xiaodou, "Take it to Kasim, let him take this to the government affairs office! "
Xiaodou smiled and took the official documents out of the palace to find Kasim who had just returned from Danyala.The timing was perfect, and when she arrived, Kasim had just returned from the baths, and his hair was still dripping.The two were taken aback when they met, and Xiaodou looked him up and down: "You seem to have grown taller again."
On the contrary, Kasim refused to recognize his life, and raised his lips slightly, "Fat."
Xiaodou pouted, and stuffed the official document into his hand, "Is everything ready?"
Kasim nodded, took out two identical exquisite rings from the small locked box beside him, and opened the gemstone on the upper layer, and there were two identical royal seals.Xiaodou asked, "Which one is the fake?", and casually put the fake one on her finger, and praised: "The craftsman of Dan Yala is really amazing."
Kasim's eyes sank, "What are you thinking?"
"What do you think? Really, it's convenient for you to review official documents, and you won't be scolded by Grandpa Hesong."
Kasim held the seal of the real king in his hand and looked at her quietly without answering.
Xiaodou turned the ring on his hand with great interest: "I remember I didn't tell you the size of my finger, why is it so suitable?"
Kasim sighed and put the pipe in her mouth into her mouth, "Let's go to the government affairs hall."
Xiaodou just smiled lazily with his pipe in his mouth.
When Kassim handed over the official document at the government affairs hall, Keshman, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came out with a smile on his stomach, and handed a government official's seal to Kassim, congratulating him one after another.
So far, Molan's first aristocratic force controlling the main mine veins has been uprooted, and the little Hesong and Kasim who have done meritorious service finally have real positions to participate in politics.
In the same year, Kasim began to travel among the important cities of Molan with other political officials to sort out and reform the internal affairs.
The young man is constantly changing, and his wings are getting richer.
