Oh my god, can you play like this?

The eldest lady looked at Gu Lanzhi's playful appearance and felt that she really had no idea what to do with him, but her frown did not relax at all.

Although Gu Lanzhi was smiling, he was always paying attention to the eldest lady's expression.

Seeing that the eldest lady was still worried, Gu Lanzhi sighed, looked at Mo Yi and asked, "How was the thing I asked you to do a few days ago?" After saying that, he winked at Mo Yi, which made Mo Yi see that the eldest lady was worried.

Mo Yi and Gu Lanzhi had such a tacit understanding that he knew what was going on just by looking at the eldest lady.

“Don’t worry, sir. Our people have already been scattered all over Kyoto, and the rumors that had been suppressed have been stirred up again by our people.

Plus, you're back today, so the rumor will only spread. The script you gave to your subordinates has already been handed over to the storytellers, so everything is going very smoothly."

After listening to Mo Yi's words, the eldest lady looked at Gu Lanzhi who was looking at her with a smile. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then looked up in surprise.

"Brother, do you want the story between the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince to spread as widely as possible, so that you can have a reason to cancel the engagement?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded to the eldest lady with satisfaction. From his original body's memory, he knew that the eldest lady was a very wise woman. She could figure out his intention so quickly. Gu Lanzhi was very satisfied.

Talking to smart people is much simpler and more convenient, without having to waste too much time on words.

Gu Jingcheng, who was standing nearby, hadn't figured it out yet, but when the eldest lady said that, his eyes lit up.

"Madam, the young master doesn't just want to spread rumors in the market. This is just the first step."

Mo Yi didn't finish his words, but the eldest lady understood.

However, the eldest lady's brows, which had originally relaxed, frowned again.

"Brother, do you want to spread these things to the palace and let His Majesty know?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded again with a smile.

"But this... is just a rumor. It won't have any substantive effect."

"Madam, the emperor went out of the city gate to personally welcome him. Has our Majesty ever done this since he ascended the throne?"

"That's not the case. You are the first one, brother."

"That's right, Auntie, you are so smart. Think carefully about the matter and think carefully about what benefits the emperor will bring to me."

The eldest lady lowered her eyelids again, thought for about three or four minutes, then suddenly looked up, looking at Gu Lanzhi with sparkling eyes.

"Brother, what you mean is that the emperor personally welcoming you means that the emperor values ​​you. Since the emperor values ​​you, other court officials will definitely treat you differently and curry favor with you.

Are you spreading rumors in the market more vigorously? Will those who want to curry favor with you report this matter to the emperor?"

Gu Lanzhi looked at the Madam with admiration, "My wounds look scary, but they are actually not dangerous anymore. I just need to wait for them to heal.

I estimate that in another month and a half, this injury will no longer hinder my movements, and then I will have to go to court as soon as possible.

I don't care, but so many soldiers and generals are still waiting for rewards. If I'm not in a hurry, they are!

After the court session, I will reveal some signals of discord with my fourth brother to people in a different camp from the fifth prince. Whether it is to please me or suppress the fifth prince, someone will definitely spread the rumor in the court. That will be the best time for me to break off the engagement."

Hearing this, the eldest lady relaxed her brows and nodded with a smile. Gu Jingcheng also looked at Gu Lanzhi with admiration.

"I didn't know before that my brother is also able to guess people's minds."

"Alas..." Gu Lanzhi sighed in a pretentious manner, and then continued: "I didn't need to compete with those old foxes in the court before, but now I have to fight even if I don't want to!"

The eldest lady also sighed and nodded.

"So, brother, what do you think about the things of the previous dynasty?"

When it comes to this, Gu Lanzhi rubbed his forehead. The original body had very few memories of court officials and the emperor. After all, he had never met them. Therefore, Gu Lanzhi had to slowly figure out the affairs of the court. Gu Lanzhi himself had to slowly identify whether it was a human or a ghost.

“Madam, I just returned to the capital, and I know very little about the court officials, so I certainly don’t have any opinions.

I am the general of Dongshun State, I am here to protect Dongshun State, I only need to obey your majesty's orders."

When Gu Lanzhi said this, the eldest lady knew what Gu Lanzhi meant. She nodded and said, "Okay, the emperor has no intention of abdicating yet, so this is the right thing to do.

But now that you are back, the princes will certainly try to win you over. It will be even better once you break off your engagement with the fifth prince, so you just need to be prepared."

Gu Lanzhi rubbed his forehead and said irritably: "I get a headache just thinking about this."

The eldest lady looked at the naughty Gu Lanzhi lovingly, her eyes full of love.

There were chaotic footsteps outside the door, and soon a little head with two buns popped out of Gu Lanzhi's door.

When Gu Lanzhi saw the baby, his eyes lit up, "Baby! Come here!" His voice revealing surprise when he called the baby.

The little baby seemed to be frightened and quickly retracted his head.

Gu Lanzhi was anxious and wanted to support himself with his arms to sit up, but the big movement tore the wound so hard that he let out a "hiss" in pain.

The eldest lady quickly pushed Gu Lanzhi down to lie down, "Why are you so anxious! She is your biological sister, how can she be lost? Really."

After comforting Gu Lanzhi, the eldest lady got up and left the house. After a while, she took the baby into the room.

"Here it comes, take a good look." The eldest lady smiled and pushed the baby to the front of Gu Lanzhi's bed.

While the imperial physician was examining Gu Lanzhi's wound and changing the dressing, the eldest lady asked the wet nurse to take the baby away.

It's not that men and women should be careful. After all, the child is still young and it's not time to be careful. The eldest lady knew that Gu Lanzhi was seriously injured. She was afraid of scaring the child, so she asked the wet nurse to take the baby away.

But the little baby grew up with the eldest lady. To the little baby, the eldest lady is his mother.

The child was fine being away from his mother for a while, but after a long time the little baby couldn't stand it anymore and would come to his mother on his short legs. He was also curious about his brother who had just returned and wanted to take a closer look at him.

But a child is a child after all. When Gu Lanzhi called him, the child was frightened and quickly turned around and ran out.

But after running a few steps, he couldn't stop his curiosity and turned back to look into the house.

At this time, the eldest lady just came out of the house and brought the child in.

The eldest lady pushed the baby to Gu Lanzhi's bed. The baby was not familiar with Gu Lanzhi, so he took a few steps back and pressed his back against the eldest lady's legs, but his eyes were looking at Gu Lanzhi curiously.

Gu Lan had injuries on his chest and back, so he was always lying on his side, just in time to look the little girl in the eye.

Gu Lanzhi loves his daughter so much, and now that the little girl is right in front of him, Gu Lanzhi is almost smiling like a flower.
