"Dismissed."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As the hall became empty, Qi Kan Tian glanced at Qi Xue, who was standing at the side like a statue. "What do you think will happen with Fei Yang Kingdom in the future?"
In the Imperial Palace, Qi Xue's status was far lower than Qi Kan Tian. She couldn't act familiar with him like when they were on an outing. At that time, they would look more like senior sister and junior brother.
In front of others, Qi Xue had to follow the necessary protocol.
Qi Xue herself didn't care that much.
She knew her status was low and even though she looked like she was being 'favored' by Qi Kan Tian, only she knew the real story on the back.
There were many things that she had to deal with just because she was a bit closer with Qi Kan Tian than other servants around.
Qi Xue looked at Qi Kan Tian and blinked her eyes. "This subject didn't know much about politics, Your Majesty."
Qi Kan Tian's lips twitched. Whenever this senior sister of his was acting in accordance to her role, it was always when she was asked difficult question. There was no way this playful senior sister of his would want to act like this all the time.
Thankfully, she didn't stay rigid all the time or Qi Kan Tian would feel bored.
"Fei Yang Kingdom's improvement ever since that time is very large." Qi Kan Tian sighed. "But I don't think it'll be that easy to defeat the other kingdoms."
Qi Xue was noncommittal.
She was not very clear about the situation on the outside world and everything she knew was based on what Qi Kan Tian told her.
Others?
The news also spread to Shi Long Kingdom, the largest kingdom in this land.
With Fei Yang Kingdom defeating Wei Da Kingdom, it was not known whether they could still keep that title as having the largest land. However, it was also a fact that they had been expanding to the south.
That way, Shi Long Kingdom's territory was still very large.
But their way of development and control over the people in their territory was different from Fei Yang Kingdom.
In the Capital City, there were several people who stayed there peacefully.
One of them was Kuang Shen.
After following Luo Qing Wei to Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City, Kuang Shen had always stayed within the city. He started to expand his influence and also taking care of the troubles that came with his name as the ghost doctor.
This fame had earned him both benefit and troubles. There were many people who disliked ghost doctor but there were also many people who trusted him because of this name alone.
Receiving the report from his men, Kuang Shen frowned.
"Wei Da Kingdom fall to Fei Yang Kingdom?"
"Yes, Young Master."
Kuang Shen looked at the bamboo strip in his hand and then threw it to the side. He knew very well that Fei Yang Kingdom was growing stronger and stronger, but Shi Long Kingdom was not exactly in the right state to declare an all out war.
There were several riots at the south that hadn't been handled well.
Not to mention, the politics were very turbulent.
Luo Qing Wei's position hadn't been stable and she had already reached 15 years of age, which meant that she was already of marriageable age.
These annoying suitors of hers had been lining up at the front door and Kuang Shen had trouble dealing with them.
Each and every one of them had high status in Shi Long Kingdom.
He couldn't just step forward and offend them so blatantly. If he were to do that, it was most likely that he himself would be kicked out of Shi Long Kingdom's Capital City and couldn't even see Luo Qing Wei.
At this moment, Kuang Shen somewhat despised his poor background which made it hard for him to establish himself.
