Despite it being an extremely heavy topic, and An Yuan'er being worried about Lan Jingtang's emotions, Lan Jingtang surprisingly laughed after hearing it.
“When I was a child, the clan chief consulted my divination and said that I was incompatible with fire. I used to find it unbelievable, but now that I have heard about the ending of my past life, it seems that the clan chief’s divination was accurate.”
Lan Jingtang casually glossed over his death in his previous life, and An Yuan'er, seeing that he didn't care, didn't continue.
“Gu Chuzhi has memories of his past life. Yi Chenqi can’t defeat him. Sooner or later, he will control the court.”
"And he's eyeing you covetously. If you confront him head-on, you'll only end up hurting each other."
Lan Jingtang quickly grasped the crux of the problem.
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea: "For now, let's avoid his sharp edge. He wants you, so I'll let him have you. No one else will be able to find you. It'll be good to infuriate him."
"you mean?"
Lan Jingtang approached An Yuan'er, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.
......
Two years passed after that.
There is only one year left in the five years that Yi Chenli mentioned before.
It was midsummer again, and in the lush forest, a pretty girl in a blue dress was searching for medicinal herbs.
The girl simply tied her long braids, with a few strands hanging playfully by her ears, adorned with small flowers she had picked. Despite her extremely simple attire, the girl was naturally beautiful, and the beauty of the entire forest was merely a backdrop to her appearance.
Without excessive use of pink and rouge, it is already the most beautiful scenery in this summer.
This girl was none other than An Yuan'er, who lived in seclusion in the forest.
Two years ago, Lan Jingtang made a decisive decision. Given Gu Chuzhi's attitude, if An Yuan'er had stayed in Shengjing, he would have only caused her endless harassment, and there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do something surprising again.
In addition, learning medicine requires a quiet and natural environment, so Lan Jingtang sent An Yuan'er away overnight, saying that he would listen to everything and that An Yuan'er should not worry.
After An Yuan'er left, just as Lan Jingtang had predicted, Gu Chuzhi went to the An residence to propose marriage in a grand manner, causing a great stir throughout the city, and forcing Lord An to marry off his daughter.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Lord An only said one sentence: "My daughter has gone to study medicine in the South China Sea on a whim. It's not that he's deliberately making things difficult for her by refusing to marry her off, but that there's really no one else she can marry."
Gu Chuzhi searched the entire capital of Shengjing but could not find An Yuan'er's whereabouts, so he had no choice but to give up.
That day, Gu Chuzhi looked extremely pale. The whole of Shengjing watched him become a laughingstock, and Gu Chuzhi lost all face.
But what could he do? The bride he wanted had vanished without a trace.
Two years have passed, and Gu Chuzhi has sent out several groups of people to search for An Yuan'er's whereabouts, but the result is always the same: they cannot find her.
Gu Chuzhi's miscalculations weren't limited to his love life.
Two years ago, before An Yuan'er left, she was still very worried about the situation.
He sent a letter to Yi Chenqi overnight, containing only a single sentence.
If you're at your wit's end and have exhausted all options, try doing it the other way around.
Gu Chuzhi was well aware of Yi Chenqi's strategies and tactics. Going along with them was exactly what Gu Chuzhi wanted. Only by abandoning the previous schemes and finding a new way out could Yi Chenqi have a chance.
Later on, Gu Chuzhi was extremely busy and overwhelmed. Yi Chenqi's moves were different from what he had expected. He encountered many obstacles when he helped Yi Chenxuan rise to power.
Things didn't go as he had expected.
Meanwhile, An Yuan'er, who lives a secluded life in the forest, also has an unexpected visitor from beyond the heavens.
