Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Chapter 57 I only want to be her armor, sword, and wall behind her

Gu Chengjin really found it hard to believe. After all, he had seen the handwriting in Ali's letter in his son's yard, but the handwriting that inexplicably appeared next to his father's pillow that day was clearly free and unrestrained.

I never thought Ali could write in two beautiful handwritings. How much effort must this child have put in? If he hadn't worked so hard, how could he have two completely different handwritings?

Old Master Gu was also a little surprised, but he quickly came to his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard knowingly and smiled.

"That's quite fitting. Not only does he care deeply about the people of Yunzhou, he's even found a way to save our family. He's been so tactful and thoughtful. Ah Li is truly incredibly caring. Ah Heng, you're very lucky. If Ah Li is willing to marry you in the future, you'll definitely have to protect her well."

This is the child's love for their Gu family.

Gu Luoheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly. Even though he was a little embarrassed, he nodded in agreement very seriously, with sincere emotions in his eyes.

"Grandson, remember this. Please rest assured, grandfather. If she is willing to marry me, I will marry her with all my heart. I will only have one wife in this life. I am willing to be her armor, her sword, and her back wall, protecting her from the dust and frost of her life."

Old Master Gu looked at him with a satisfied expression. Although the marriages of the two children were not arranged by him, he was very satisfied with them. If they could truly love each other and eventually get married, it would naturally be a beautiful story.

Gu Chengjin was also satisfied, but soon his brows furrowed slightly and he looked a little worried. He couldn't help but glance sideways at his father beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Father, what do you think of what Ah Li said about His Majesty taking the elixir?"

Compared to the surprise that Ali had given him, he was even more surprised by the fact that the emperor was secretly taking elixirs. The idea of ​​elixirs had caused countless jokes and massacres throughout history. The emperor he remembered, even if he wasn't a sage, at least had some brains. How could he be like those people...

Is he really crazy?

Old Master Gu was also silent for a while, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, and then he sighed, but his words inevitably sounded a bit powerless.

"I believe what Ali said, but for the sake of caution, we should have our people investigate secretly. It would be best if we could find solid evidence for future use. If... if the emperor is really so foolish, then our palace should have made preparations earlier."

In his memory, many emperors in history who made a living by taking elixirs might not be unaware that those elixirs were harmful, but there were always some fools who thought they were the chosen ones and that they were special. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many emperors who fell into this evil path.

Especially those emperors who took the elixir were no longer able to live forever. Those so-called elixirs were actually no different from poisons and could even affect one's lifespan. Anyone who took the elixir could only live for a year or two at most.

Now that Ali said that the emperor has been taking it for more than half a year, His Majesty must not have much time left. The Gu family is loyal to the emperor, but they also have a big family to take care of. Some things must be prepared in advance. At his age, it would be his wish if he could find a wise leader for the people.

Gu Chengjin nodded in agreement and immediately began to think, "Okay, my son will take care of this matter. I will definitely find someone who is tight-lipped and reliable to do it. The emperor will definitely not find out."

He was different from his father. His father had a deep affection for the emperor that he had taught him when he was young, and he always thought about many things in this friendship. However, after following the emperor for only a few years, he had already discovered the cold-blooded, selfish, and suspicious nature of the man on the throne. However, he had hidden it very well at that time.

However, Gu Luoheng couldn't help but frown slightly, looking at his grandfather on the chair with some confusion, and asked curiously.

"Grandfather, what does it mean that Ahri said it's a coincidence that she and Grandpa have similar views? I don't quite understand."

Who knew that the old man stroked his beard, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he burst into laughter, making Gu Luoheng and his son even more confused.

Old Master Gu was now even more curious about the child Ali. He stroked his beard with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. After a while, he sighed slightly and explained to them.

"There's something I've been hiding from you for a long time. It's a matter of great importance, so I haven't been able to find the right time to tell you. But now that it's come to this, maybe it's the best time yet."

The most important thing is that he might really have the same views as Ali, the hero. He didn't expect that the person who surprised him the most among so many people in the Mu family was the little girl who had been away for five years.

"Father, what do you mean? Could it be that you have done something secretly for the Gu family?"

Gu Chengjin reacted quickly, his brows slightly furrowed as a shocking thought suddenly flashed through his mind, making him instantly tense and hold his breath.

"Could it be that my grandfather secretly selected a prince many years ago?"

Gu Luoheng also reacted instantly, his eyes widened in surprise, he was really not expecting this.

It was rare for Old Master Gu to see the father and son so surprised. Despite his usually upright character, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in satisfaction, and couldn't help but bring out a hint of boasting in his words.

"Hmph, what are you all looking at me like that for? Do you really think I'm of no use now that I'm on my deathbed? Many years ago, I took in a prince as my apprentice and taught him meticulously. You could almost say I personally trained him. It's no exaggeration to say he has the demeanor of an emperor."

Anyway, he looked much better than the previous apprentice, but the position of the dragon throne was extremely high, and people would change after sitting on it for a long time. The best he could do was to ensure that he would do his best to protect his family while he was still alive.

This can be considered a great compliment.

Gu Chengjin's eyes showed some curiosity, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. Thinking about the future life of the people, he immediately asked hurriedly.

"If that's the case, it would be a blessing for the country and the people! I just wonder which one father will choose?"

Grandfather's apprentice? His grandfather had brought him to meet a man many years ago. He was about his own age and handsome. He had a vague feeling that he seemed to be of extraordinary status, but he had never expected that he was actually a prince in the palace.

But he had clearly seen several princes in the palace. Could it be that the one was wearing a mask?

Gu Luoheng subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at his grandfather not far away. The two looked at each other and the old man smiled and nodded. He instantly understood what his grandfather meant.

Grandfather’s so-called apprentice turned out to be the hero that Grandfather and Ali had been talking about!

There was a heated discussion in the Gu family's study, but no sound could be heard outside. The carefully built dark room isolated all sounds and possible dangers of exposure.

At this time, the people in Beijing had no idea that they would soon have something new to watch.
