Chapter 68: It's just an engagement, not a marriage
When Mo Yi brought water into Gu Lanzhi's room in the morning, he was stunned and looked at the house that had returned to its original state in confusion.
Mo Yi knew very well what the general's room looked like yesterday, because he was the one who asked the servants to move things into the room.
But... now...
How could so many things in the house disappear in one night? The general just went up to the roof to watch the fun last night, and he didn't ask anyone to move things out of his house!
Where did all that stuff go?
Gu Lan got out of bed, put on his shoes, and when he looked up, he saw Mo Yi staring blankly at the room.
Gu Lanzhi didn't say anything and didn't give any explanation to Mo Yi. He just wanted to see how Mo Yi would react.
Gu Lanzhi walked slowly to Mo Yi's side, and Mo Yi finally broke free from his daze.
"General, wash up."
Mo Yi put the basin beside him and began to help Gu Lanzhi wash up.
Gu Lanzhi had been silently observing Mo Yi's reaction, but Mo Yi was stunned for a moment when he first entered the room, and then he had no other reaction, and did not want to ask Gu Lanzhi anything.
Gu Lanzhi curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
When Mo Yi finished helping him wash and was about to leave with the basin, Gu Lanzhi stopped him.
"Don't you have anything to ask?"
Mo Yi looked up at Gu Lanzhi and smiled.
"General, I am your guard. I will do whatever you ask me to do, but I won't ask anything I shouldn't ask."
Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "This kind of thing is likely to happen frequently in the future..."
“General, I told you that I am your guard, and just a guard.
We all know that you, General, do not simply regard us as guards or secret guards, but in our hearts, you are our master, and we will follow you to the death no matter what you do." Mo Yi interrupted Gu Lanzhi before he finished speaking.
Gu Lanzhi felt so comfortable listening to what Mo Yi said!
He smiled at Mo Yi, but still said nothing.
It's best if Mo Yi and the others know when to advance and when to retreat and understand the rules. As for Gu Lanzhi's own secret, Gu Lanzhi really has no intention of telling anyone.
There's no way. People who have lived in the apocalypse for so long can't trust others easily.
After strolling around Kyoto City yesterday, Gu Lanzhi’s goal today was to visit the farm outside the city.
The construction of Zhuangzi had already started for a few days, but in ancient times there were no various construction machines as convenient as those in modern times, so Gu Lanzhi didn't think that it would be completed in a few days.
He simply couldn't stay at home anymore and wanted to go out for a walk.
Gu Lanzhi had just left the city in his carriage when Li Beichen received the news.
"Master, the general left the west city gate and seems to be heading to the manor he is building."
Li Beichen was reading a book, but when he heard his subordinate's report, he threw the book on the table and said disapprovingly with a frown, "You're wandering around before your wounds have healed yet."
The subordinate did not speak, but complained in his heart, "What the general wants to do has nothing to do with the master, why is the master so concerned about the general recently?"
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. Combined with what his master had done last night, asking him to cause trouble at the Fifth Prince's mansion, this subordinate seemed to suddenly understand something.
He raised his head in surprise and said to Li Beichen in astonishment: "Master, you... you... are you interested in the general?"
Li Beichen asked coldly, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Well...well...it's not impossible...but...the general is engaged to the fifth prince!"
"It's just an engagement, not a marriage."
"But...but...Master, the emperor will never let the general get away. The general has already returned to the capital. I estimate that the general and the fifth prince will be married soon."
Li Beichen smiled coldly, "Li Chengyun, that idiot, is worthy of this? Didn't the general already plan to cancel the engagement?"
"Are you talking about the general who had people spread rumors?"
"Not only that, there is also Gu Shurui."
"Then Gu Shurui really has a crush on the Fifth Prince, isn't it normal for him to cling to him?"
Li Beichen looked at his subordinate impatiently, "Can you please use your brain? Don't you know what the general told the fifth prince?"
This subordinate of Li Beichen also grew up with Li Beichen and is one of the people Li Beichen trusts the most.
It’s just that this subordinate is a little stupid, so Li Beichen always lets him take care of his daily life.
"That...that..."
Li Beichen glared at the subordinate and explained to him in a good mood.
"The fact that the general allowed the fifth prince to meet Gu Shurui shows that the general doesn't want to marry the fifth prince at all. He wants everyone to know about the relationship between the fifth prince and Gu Shurui, so that he has a reason to cancel the marriage with the fifth prince."
"Oh, I see! But... the emperor won't agree, right?"
"Of course he doesn't want to break off the engagement, but there's still time. Let's see what other tricks our general can come up with."
Li Beichen would definitely not let Gu Lanzhi marry someone else now. He also helped Gu Lanzhi spread the rumor even more. It has already spread to the previous dynasty and should reach the emperor's ears today.
Li Beichen's good mood immediately turned gloomy when he thought of the emperor.
He recalled the scene when the emperor came to see him yesterday. Several imperial doctors took turns to diagnose Li Beichen's pulse, just to make sure whether Li Beichen was really terminally ill.
Seeing that all the imperial doctors were shaking their heads at him, the emperor could hardly suppress the smile on his face. Li Beichen felt sick just thinking about their hypocritical look.
His good royal brother, Li Beichen really wanted to kill him right away.
He has endured, waited, and saved for so many years, all for the purpose of taking back what originally belonged to him!
After letting his men go out, Li Beichen pressed a few places on the wall behind him. The wall rotated and Li Beichen walked into the secret room.
The secret room was very small, with only a table inside and a brocade box on the table.
Li Beichen opened the brocade box and took out the two imperial edicts from it.
These two imperial edicts were not given to him by the current emperor, but were secretly given to him by his father before he knew that his death was approaching.
When the imperial edicts were unfolded, one was blank with nothing written on it, while the other was an imperial edict of succession.
The late emperor passed the throne to Li Beichen.
"Prime Minister, hehe..." Li Beichen's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
