259 Raven

The dagger medium seems to have been repaired, but Lan Li did not intend to use it that night, because experience has proved that after entering the dungeon, the time outside is still flowing. As the Minister of Justice, many people actually pay attention to his whereabouts, whether open or secretly, which is not convenient to "disappear".

After finishing this period of time, Lan Li took some time to use the dagger, and at the same time he was thinking about the question of being "seen" by Cersei.

This matter was not very serious in his opinion, because only Cersei saw it. Even if she exposed the matter, it would be different if others believed it.

At the same time, even if others know about it, Lan Li was not afraid of it. Now is no longer the fragile little boy he used to be. Although some things have been hiding, they cannot be said to be afraid of being discovered.

However, Lan Li was still preparing to talk to the person because he was afraid that the other party would think deeply about it. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to the Red Fort, the cheap sister-in-law sent someone to invite him to have dinner together.

He was surprised by this, but he did not refuse. After handling the official business, he was invited to leave as soon as the time was approaching.

The location is in a simple side hall decorated in Meige Building, where there are no one else except the parties involved.

After stepping over the gates of two guards and walking into them, Lanli bowed to the queen wearing an emerald green robe, and then sat opposite her.

The dining table in front of me is now filled with food, and candles are burning quietly. The food is very rich in combination with meat and vegetables. It is dazzlingly decorated with silver trays, as if it looks like a unique landscape.

There is no custom of having dinner together in this world. Most of the social interactions between nobles are above banquets, but this kind of private meeting is not so particular at this time, so you can do whatever you want.

"Recently, Tyrion asked about Lord Renli's recent situation."

After a gift, the blonde woman in front of her spoke to Lan Li with a smile. It seemed that she thought this could bring her feelings closer.

However, in fact, Lanli has not had any connection with the little demon in his memory over the years. He maintained communication for the first few years, but later it gradually broke down.

"I haven't seen Tyrion for many years, I miss it very much." Lan Li replied with a smile, without explaining anything.

"My father is going to send him to Junlin to find a position. Unexpectedly, I will see my brother in a while." Cersei said in a very polite tone, but Lan Li could feel the complex emotions in the other party's heart at this moment, fear, alertness, curiosity, and awe...

So Lanli went straight to the subject and said, "When the Queen saw it in the Shenmu Forest?"

Obviously, I didn't expect Renly to be so direct. Although the purpose was this, Cersei seemed not ready to communicate directly here, and even after hearing this, the smile on her face became very reluctant.

"But I don't want Lord Lanli to have that kind of ability." She answered dryly, but then stabilized her mind and changed her mind. "What does Lord Lanli think of the King and my son Joffrey?"

“Is the hair color?”

"Yes." Cersei said, looking worried, "I can't see anything now, but if that's really a curse, there will be a day when the attack will not just change the color of the hair? I've always been worried about it, but since you are a professional, you should understand something?"

She was talking, but unfortunately she obviously didn't expect that Lan Li had known her well for a long time. After hearing this, she said with no distortion: "I'm also very skeptical about this, but there are no more clues. Your Highness, maybe you don't understand yet. Magic actually has many categories, and I'm not good at spells such as curses or blood magic."

Cersei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then her green eyes moved, and she raised her hand intentionally or unintentionally brushed her blonde hair on her forehead, "Well, I don't know what Lord Renli is good at?"

"I am good at letting others reveal the truth." Lan Li said seriously: "This can make me fully competent for the work of the Minister of Justice. His Highness should know that I have indeed done many things during this period, and this depends entirely on this."

These words made Cersei, who was originally a little relaxed, feel revived again. Thinking about the rumors about the person in front of her for a while, she suddenly felt very reckless. However, when she saw the person in front of her, she barely stabilized her mind and looked curious, "How did you do it?"

"This is the power of the old gods in the north."

Lanli replied, "The old God gave me the ability to interrogate. As long as I live alone with the prisoner, whatever I ask, he will answer anything and cannot lie."

"This is really?" The queen's face changed a little.

"Of course it's true." Lan Li nodded, "Do you want to try it?"

Cersei shook her head quickly, and then she no longer dared to bring the topic to this topic. She looked around and talked about some trivial matters in life, and talked about how her children admired Lan Li. Finally, she pretended to be unwell and ended the conversation quickly.

Lanli took the initiative to leave.

After seeing Lan Li leave, she breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried to the upper floor of Meige Tower, and found her younger brother who was guarding the door of the King's residence. Facing her younger brother's puzzled gaze, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't stay in the same room with Lan Li in the future."

"Why?" James, wearing a white robe, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and thought of something, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will fall in love with that Lanli? To be honest, he is really pretty-"

"Shut up!" Cersei glared at her younger brother sternly, "It's not a joke now. Think about what he has done during this period!"

“What have you done?”

The blonde knight was stunned when he heard this, then after thinking about it, he understood, his face looked a little ugly, "You mean..."

"He can..."

...

The next morning, when Lan Li was participating in the imperial meeting, he found that a blonde knight who was guarding the door of the conference hall was full of vigilance when he saw him, which made him think of the conversation with the queen last night, and then he secretly had a headache.

It was not Lan Li's wish to actively expose this point, but since Cersei saw her "speciality", she would sooner or later associate what Lan Li had done with special magic. In that case, she might be more afraid of her if she was too worried.

So it would be better to take the initiative to tell this "secret" so that she can't think about it.

Lan Li was not afraid of her thinking about anything else, but she was afraid that she thought she could read her mind and already knew her secret. That would be a great risk and there would be many extraordinary variables.

Now...

"Is this considered retreating and escaping?" Muttered secretly, Lan Li felt that this was not a good thing, but she didn't think it was a bad thing for the time being, so she kept it in her heart and didn't think about it anymore.

The topic of today's imperial meeting was about the fact that the nine free trade city-states had already shown signs of sending troops. Old Prime Minister Jon Elin believed that they would attack Junlin because the other side's naval power combined completely crushed oneself. As long as Kinglin was captured, the rest of the seven countries would not be worrying.

So King Robert ordered the Minister of the Navy Stannis to speed up the maintenance of the navy, strive to replenish more power before the war, and also prepare for defensive war.

Because there was an impression of wildfire guarding the city in his memory in his previous life, Lan Li mentioned it, and apart from that, he didn't say anything - he basically didn't understand the military aspect.

He had nothing to do for three days in a row. In addition to doing his job well, Lan Li was also thinking about how to promote the new archbishop to the post. However, compared with this matter, he cared more about the dagger.

Every time he saw the dagger, Lan Li had an urge to hold it tightly, as if a hungry man had seen a sumptuous meal.

So on the afternoon of the fourth day, he finally couldn't help but lock the door and held it tightly.

Then Lan Li found that she had not entered the dungeon. Holding the dagger tightly made a crow appear in the room-
