Rong Sheng smiled through her dark eyes, leaning tenderly on Gu Beiyi's shoulder, and said softly, "Gu Beiyi, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore! As long as others don't cause me trouble, I won't provoke them! But if anyone tries to bully me or climb over my head, I definitely won't let them embarrass me, I will definitely fight back!"
"Be good! Don't be afraid! I'm here!" I'm your support: "Even if something really happens, don't be afraid, I've already made arrangements!" Someone will come to help Rong Sheng.
The Emperor's condition had not stabilized, but he had found some "weak points" against him, thinking he could use them to bring him down. To please the Emperor for a while and make his plan more perfect, Gu Beiyi decided to play along for the time being.
"By the way, how is my second brother?" Rong Sheng asked.
Gu Beiyi frowned. He didn't like talking about other men with Rong Sheng in bed, even if that man was Rong Zheng, Rong Sheng's brother!
No means no, and I don't like it.
But this is his Sheng Sheng! Gu Beiyi bit his fair and delicate face helplessly before slowly saying, "Your second brother is doing very well. He's better than anyone else in the army! Our Qingluan Kingdom has already started fighting with the Qinghao Kingdom, and your second brother is already a vanguard general. Every time a battle starts, he's the first to charge into battle! Yuwen Yuanjing likes your second brother very much, and your second brother has a great military mind. When this battle ends and they return to the capital in triumph, your second brother will definitely be appointed as a Grand General! That will truly bring glory to our ancestors!"
Upon hearing this, Rong Sheng's dark eyes lit up. "Second Brother has always wanted to become a great general, and now that his wish has come true, he must be very happy! If there were a woman who could capture Second Brother's heart, that would be even better! Unfortunately, Second Brother's requirements... are quite unusual, and such a woman is not easy to find!"
Looking at Rong Sheng's sly eyes, Gu Beiyi said helplessly, "Your second brother's hobbies are indeed different from others, but don't worry, there is such a woman in our Qingluan Kingdom! Moreover, she is the only female general in our Qingluan Kingdom. It's just that she is in the military camp all year round, so it's not so easy for your second brother to see her!"
“Aren’t they in the same military camp?” Rong Sheng asked.
“Yes!” Gu Beiyi raised his large hand and gently stroked Rong Sheng’s face, his fingers tracing circles around Rong Sheng’s lips, outlining the lips he had longed for. “That female general is guarding the border between Qingluan Kingdom and Langya Kingdom. Although the members of the Langya Kingdom’s royal family have been replaced by the people from Wuyinglou, it is still Langya Kingdom, not Qingluan Kingdom! She must guard the border!” If one day, any members of the Langya Kingdom’s royal family who were missed find out the truth, they will be in trouble sooner or later.
"Alright!" Rong Sheng didn't ask any further questions, because even if her second brother knew of her existence, he couldn't go to her immediately. After all, he was now the vanguard general, fighting against Qinghao Kingdom for the sake of Qingluan Kingdom. He could only wait until Qinghao Kingdom was conquered and her second brother returned to the capital before he would have a chance to go to the border of Langya Kingdom to find that female general.
The next day, before dawn, Rong Sheng was dragged out of bed by Gu Beiyi. In a daze, she was taken out of Prince Yi's mansion and gathered with the ceremonial guard and officials.
As dawn broke, Gu Beiyi still hadn't arrived, which drove the officials, especially Gu Beiyi's men, into a frenzy.
"The Prince hasn't arrived yet. Could something have happened?" These officials have been on tenterhooks these past few days, fearing that Gu Beiyi might not come out of the city, or might swagger out of the Prince Yi's residence. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face to the Emperor? The Emperor's face has already been slapped red. If he is slapped again, even a cornered dog might jump over the wall.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we're about to enter the city! Before, we could help you cover your tracks, otherwise the Emperor's men would get close. But what can we do now? We're helpless!" Once we enter the city, we'll be exposed; once we enter the palace, it'll be all over. Although their lives aren't as precious as Gu Beiyi's, they don't want to die so soon!
"Why don't we send someone into the city to see if there are any traces of the secret guards? We can ask them what might happen, in case the prince is already on his way?" The speaker was Gu Beiyi's bodyguard, the one in the public eye.
They, like the secret guards, were all Gu Beiyi's men. They were divided into the visible guards and the hidden guards. Although they were two separate groups, they communicated with each other in private.
The guards' words were confirmed by the officials, who secretly sent men to inquire. They soon received devastating news: "The Prince has left the city, but he has vanished without a trace. Even the guards don't know where the Prince and Princess are!" In other words, they had lost contact with the Prince, and they had no idea whether he was safe or well!
"Could something really have happened?" The guard felt uneasy, looking at the majestic city gate of the capital, his anxiety growing.
"Nothing will happen. The prince's martial arts are very powerful, there's no way anything could go wrong! Let's not think about those bad things, let's think about what we should do if the prince doesn't show up!"
"Think of a solution! You civil servants, hurry up and come up with a solution! What's the use of just nagging there?"
"If I could come up with a solution, would I still be nagging?"
Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng had actually arrived long ago, but Gu Beiyi wanted to see how the officials would react when they found out he wasn't there. At the same time, Gu Beiyi wanted to personally do Rong Sheng's hair and makeup to make her look more presentable. You see, Rong Sheng was half asleep when he woke her up, without washing up or putting on makeup. In order to spend more time with Rong Sheng, he had no choice but to trouble the officials who were anxious.
After washing up, Rong Sheng felt much better. She then changed into the clothes that Gu Beiyi had prepared in advance. "Gu Beiyi, it's almost time. Let's meet up with the officials!"
Gu Beiyi hummed in agreement and slowly pulled Rong Sheng toward the group.
The officials were still frantically trying to find a solution, and even the guards were extremely nervous; there was simply no time left!
As they walked, the officials and their guards suddenly bumped into each other. The guards were martial arts practitioners, while the officials were frail old men with no strength to even kill a chicken. They couldn't withstand such a collision, so the officials were knocked to the ground by the guards.
The guard quickly reached out to help the official up, but the moment he did, he saw the official's excited expression: "Since the prince hasn't arrived yet, we can't just wait around! You look a bit like the prince, kid. Put on the prince's robes, and if you pretend to imitate the prince's way of speaking, you should be able to fool him!"
Guard: "...Sir, are you kidding me?"
The other officials exclaimed, "Excellent! I think this is a brilliant idea! As long as you're a bit more energetic, confident, arrogant, and aloof, keep your mouth still, don't blink, don't show any expression on your face, and stand up straight! Look at people with your chin down, a little arrogance is perfectly fine! It should be able to fool some people. Once the prince arrives, you can change your clothes with him, and then you won't have to worry!"
