As they spoke, Yuwen Yuanjing and Rong Zheng began to spar in the courtyard. To get Rong Dong'an to agree, the two of them put in a lot of effort, truly exchanging blows, and getting more and more excited. After all, Yuwen Yuanjing and Rong Zheng hadn't met a worthy opponent in a long time.
The two of them were getting more and more excited, but Rong Dong'an's face turned ugly in turn.
Rong Sheng and Rong Yu seized the opportunity to say, "Father, look how skilled our second brother is in martial arts! Even if we really go to the battlefield, he definitely won't encounter any danger!"
“Father, I have nothing else to say but one sentence! I am a miracle doctor now, and I have cured many patients, but who knows, one day I might make a mistake and end up in jail or beheaded! If that day ever comes, neither my eldest brother’s land can save me, nor can my parents! Neither can my third brother’s money can save me!”
If Fourth Brother becomes an official in the future, but his rank is low, he won't be able to save Sheng Bao! But if Second Brother becomes a Grand General, he will have influence, and the Emperor will definitely consider his actions. Then, only Second Brother can protect Sheng Bao! Therefore, Sheng Bao wants Second Brother to join the army and become a Grand General!
Rong Yu said, "Father, Sheng Bao is right! Our abilities are limited, while Sheng Bao's reputation is too great. Without a powerful backer, it would be easy for trouble to come to us! And as you have seen, Second Brother's martial arts have indeed improved a lot. He couldn't have lasted this long before!"
Rong Dong'an looked at Rong Zheng thoughtfully, thinking about what Rong Sheng and Rong Yu had said, and fell silent.
However, Rong Sheng and Rong Yu thought that Rong Dong'an disagreed and continued to speak well of Rong Zheng, talking until their throats were dry. Even when Yuwen Yuanjing and Rong Zheng's competition was stopped, Rong Dong'an did not say a word.
They exchanged worried glances, thinking that their father might not agree to their second brother joining the army.
Just as Rong Sheng and the others were about to give up, Rong Dong'an stood up, looked at Rong Zheng and said, "Father agrees to let you join the army, but you must remember to protect yourself and become a great general as soon as possible. In the future, you must protect Sheng Bao! Otherwise, even if you go to the army, Father will find a way to ruin your future!"
Rong Zheng's dark eyes lit up, as bright as obsidian: "Father, don't worry, your son will definitely work hard to become a great general and will definitely protect Sheng Bao!"
"Go home tomorrow and tell your mother and older brother that you haven't been home for a long time and they miss you and are worried about you!" Rong Dong'an said.
Rong Zheng: "Okay! I'll go home tomorrow!"
Rong Dong'an suddenly agreed, and Rong Sheng saw how happy Rong Zheng was and how satisfied he was, and a smile also appeared on her face.
That night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Rong Sheng finished washing up and lay in bed. "System, I can now send a dream to that bastard Gu Beiyi!"
"No! Because Gu Beiyi isn't asleep yet! We can only send him a dream when he's asleep!"
"What time is it? Why isn't he asleep?" Rong Sheng asked, puzzled, since she hadn't seen Gu Beiyi's condition.
System: "Master, Gu Beiyi's status is very noble, and the things he's doing now are very troublesome. He barely gets any rest, only sleeping for about an hour a day! These past few days he's been incredibly busy! If you want to visit his dream, you must wait until he's resting! But don't worry, Master, this system is watching Gu Beiyi. As long as Gu Beiyi is sleeping and you are sleeping, I will allow you to enter Gu Beiyi's dream! However, five medical ethics points will be deducted!"
“No problem!” Rong Sheng readily agreed.
Soon, Rong Sheng drifted off to sleep and slept soundly and peacefully.
The system had been keeping an eye on Gu Beiyi. Seeing the tired dark circles under Gu Beiyi's eyes from being so busy, it knew that Gu Beiyi's body couldn't take it anymore and he would soon need to rest.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Beiyi fell asleep on his desk.
After Gu Beiyi fell asleep, the system sent Rong Sheng into Gu Beiyi's dreamland.
When Rong Sheng arrived in a white world, she was stunned. She didn't know why she had suddenly come to such a place, nor did she realize that she had entered Gu Beiyi's dream.
"Sheng Sheng! We promised each other that you would grow old together and have a bunch of children! Why were you so heartless as to abandon me and leave me alone? Sheng Sheng, I miss you so much! Please open your eyes and look at me! Sheng Sheng, it's me, Gu Beiyi! The man you love most! How could you leave me? I love you! I don't want you to die, I want you to live, to stand with me and admire the empire, and to spend the rest of our lives together!"
"Sheng Sheng, your eldest brother has become an agricultural tycoon in the empire, and all the grain in the world comes from his hands! Your second brother has become the empire's Grand General! Your third brother has become the empire's richest merchant! Your fourth brother is even more impressive, having become my trusted minister and now serving as the empire's Prime Minister, second only to the emperor! As for your parents, they didn't want to see me, so they went to the Valley of Divine Healers! They're helping you cultivate medicinal herbs there, living out their twilight years in peace! But they are your family, your most beloved family, so I hereby bestow upon your father, Rong Dong'an, the title of Marquis of Anning, and upon your mother, the title of First-Rank Lady of Haoming!"
"Sheng Sheng, did you hear that? Your family is very happy! Only I, I have the empire but nothing! Sheng Sheng, look at me, I'm not as handsome and dashing as before, even your four brothers look down on me, saying I'm decadent and lack self-respect! But I can't help it, my heart is only for you! If you hadn't disagreed, and even sworn a poisonous oath to force me to live and give the people a stable future, I would have gone to join you long ago!"
"Sheng Sheng...please open your eyes and look at me, okay? I love you!"
Rong Sheng was stunned when she heard Gu Beiyi's painful and hysterical voice, but all around her was a white expanse, and she could not see the surrounding scenery or people at all!
Rong Sheng could only search everywhere in the white mist, hoping to find Gu Beiyi and see what had happened to him. What did Gu Beiyi mean by what he had just said? Had she, Rong Sheng, already died in Gu Beiyi's dream?!
"Gu Beiyi!"
"Gu Beiyi, where are you?"
"Gu Beiyi, will you answer if you hear my voice? I heard you speak, tell me quickly, where are you?"
However, there was no response whatsoever, as if Gu Beiyi wasn't even there.
At this moment, Rong Sheng already knew that she had entered Gu Beiyi's dream, but she did not expect that Gu Beiyi's dream was related to her, and such a painful and tragic dream. She did not know what had happened to her in Gu Beiyi's dream that made Gu Beiyi scream so hysterically, mutter in pain, and call out with regret and resentment.
"Gu Beiyi! Gu Beiyi!" Rong Sheng called out several more times, but there was no response. Rong Sheng looked at the thick fog, her brows furrowed tightly, when suddenly—
