The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

"The Prime Minister is currently busy discussing the canal with the adults, so I probably won't have time to see you this afternoon."

The clerk reported.

Liu Zhihe immediately closed the file, stood up and stretched.

"Since the Prime Minister came, I have been busy dealing with these matters day and night. These days have been really hard for you. You should also go out for a walk and relax. As per the old rules, the carriage is already waiting at the side door."

Liu Zhihe walked out in a good mood. When he passed by, he patted him on the shoulder.

The clerk couldn't hold back his lips for a moment. The magistrate was praising him for doing a good job!

The junior official happily followed Liu Zhixian, imagining that he would be promoted to a higher position and enjoy unlimited glory.

Liu Zhixian, who was striding forward, stiffened and stopped suddenly.

Before the clerk could react, a deep voice suddenly sounded from around the corner.

"Where are you going, Magistrate Liu?"

Xun Sheng looked around and saw that Prime Minister Gu, who was supposed to be discussing state affairs in the study, was in the corridor, followed by a group of officials.

Gu Heng's half-smiling expression made Liu Zhihe feel uncomfortable.

"No, I haven't been sitting for a long time. I have a sore back. I just walk around and stretch my muscles." Liu Zhihe pretended to stretch his arms and twist his waist.

He was blocked by Shang Feng when he was escaping. Still in front of all the officials, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Gu Heng glanced at him lightly, passed by, and said, "We are going to Nanchuan County, you should come with us."

Liu Zhihe opened his mouth, and just as he was about to say that he had not finished handling the urgent business at hand, he heard Gu Heng smile and say, "Just in time to stretch his muscles."

Liu Zhihe's shoulders completely slumped, he glared at the clerk fiercely, and had no choice but to follow Gu Heng.

The clerk watched the officials go out with his head hanging down. There was no hope of promotion. He only hoped that Magistrate Liu was face-blind and couldn't remember what he looked like.

Liu Zhi and Yan followed the team at the end.

Obviously Gu Heng had no plan to go with him at first. So desperate, I bumped into him. Before Gu Heng came, Liu Zhihe lived a very leisurely life. After handling official duties, he and Chen Ruolan went around having fun and enjoying themselves.

When Gu Heng came, everything changed.

Liu Zhihe couldn't figure it out. Gu Heng brought Mrs. Su here. He thought he was enlightened, but in the end he was still focused on official duties, just like he was in the academy.

When he was in the academy, Gu Heng's academic performance was the best. He was a competitive young man. Who didn't want to win the first prize and be in the limelight, but Gu Heng didn't. The teacher who taught him once said that all the students combined could not be worth half of Gu Heng. As the youth matures, the leader is different every time, but the name following the leader never changes.

Liu Zhihe didn't understand that he was willing to be inferior to others even though he was obviously powerful.

What Liu Zhihe couldn't understand was that even though he was already at his peak, Gu Heng still worked hard without slacking off at all, acting as calmly as an old monk in meditation.

Now that he is in a high position, he still takes the lead.

Liu Zhihe promised to go shopping with his wife today, but now he has no choice but to break the promise. He doesn't know how to coax her back home in the evening.

Liu Zhihe grabbed the horse's belly and caught up with Gu Heng in front.

"Prime Minister, you have worked hard these days and your face has become thin."

Liu Zhihe was speechless.

"Official duties are important, but the Prime Minister must also take good care of his own body. Madam Su will be heartbroken if you do this."

Gu Heng glanced at him.

Liu Zhihe came closer and lowered his voice slightly, "Why don't you just leave the affairs of Nanchuan County to them? I understand that these people are brave and dare not disobey your orders. Madam Su has just arrived, and she is in a different place." Familiar, at least you should spend some time with me."

Gu Heng ignored him.

Seeing that he didn't look impatient, Liu Zhihe thought he had listened and said with a sad face, "You don't know, women are like dodder flowers and cannot be without us men's company."
