My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 134 Chang An's Trick

"One or two months?" Chang An suddenly chuckled at this time, "My method is not just used to hide it from them for one or two months."

Li Fan's hand holding the teacup suddenly paused and his brows slightly frowned. It was rare for the servants around him to see their prince look so puzzled.

He asked, "I don't know why Ji Kangbo said this."

"King Qi is so far-sighted, why didn't he figure out that my trick of "confusing the public" is an ulterior motive?" Chang An said.

"At the beginning, I asked His Highness to spread false information, firstly to protect my own safety; secondly to confuse the ministers; as for the third..."

Chang An finished the tea in the cup and said, "It is to keep my wife safe and sound. To do this, we must root out the evil and destroy all the ministers."

Li Fan's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "How did you destroy those ministers? They are all old foxes."

Chang An nodded and put the teacup on the table, and the maid beside him followed and filled him with a new cup of tea. After Chang An nodded slightly, he continued: "Of course, the only ones who can kill those old foxes are themselves."

"First, they spread false information. Why is false information false? Because it is unrealistic. If it is unrealistic, those old fox ministers will naturally not think from that direction, but from the opposite direction."

"If these rumors accumulate, not only can they conceal my secrets, but they will also be more persistent in searching for all kinds of information. Not only that, I also ask Your Highness to protect those who create rumors, so that these ministers will have nowhere to go and nowhere to find."

Chang An picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and continued, "King Qi should also know that rumors will spread if they cannot be stopped."

"If I quietly release some unique, accurate and credible news at that time, King Qi might as well guess what they will think?"

Li Fan put down his teacup, thought for a moment, and said, "When these rumors spread too much, even if the truth is mixed in, naturally no one will believe them."

"Prince Qi is wise," Chang An flattered Li Fan briefly, and then said, "As long as the true information is passed on, what will those who know the truth like my husband do?"

"The current emperor and His Highness are both insiders. As long as such news reaches their ears, King Qi, do you think the current emperor and His Highness will intervene?"

Li Fan also took over the conversation and said, "The current emperor and His Highness are both determined to protect you, but they don't know your plan, Ji Kangbo, so they will naturally not summon you, so they can only send people to investigate."

"That's right! If the current emperor and His Highness send people to investigate secretly, then they will naturally find those who investigated me, and then continue to follow the clues to find the rest. Even if those ministers don't find out anything, the false news has already been released, even if they are in vain..."

“It can also turn black.”

After Chang An finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup. Li Fan then reached out to the maid next to him, wanting to add more tea for Chang An, but she stopped him. Then Li Fan asked again:

"But what if they see through your plan, Zikangbo?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "If you want to break this method, you can only stop the investigation. But if you stop, you will be found out and sentenced to death. If you investigate, you will die. If you don't investigate, you will die even more. Even if they see through it, what can they do?"

"Prince Qi, my wife is still young and seems to have caught a cold today. I will not stay any longer." After saying this, Chang An stood up and bowed to Li Fan, saying, "I'm leaving now."

Li Fan nodded and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Ji Kangbo will follow my servant to find some medicine to prevent and treat colds before returning."

Chang An was stunned for a moment and was about to refuse, but Li Fan raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't refuse, it's all for show." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Then...I would like to thank King Qi on behalf of my wife." Chang An bowed again and said.

After Chang An left with the servant, Li Fan picked up the teacup. The dancers who were waiting in the audience also went on stage, but Li Fan said, "No more dancing for now."

Li Fan held his chin up and began to think carefully about Chang An's "trick". After thinking for a while, he directly poured the tea in his hand onto the blue brick floor at his feet and said:

"Someone, bring some drinks!"

"What a thunderous method! Even a great talent underestimated him..."

"This person should be called a genius."

At this time, Chang An also took a few doses of medicine in King Qi's medicine room. Then he was taken away from King Qi's mansion by the servant and got on the carriage at the door.

The servant asked at this time: "Can Lord Ji Kang sit still?"

Chang An adjusted his posture and said, "Okay."

After hearing Chang An's words, the servant drove away from the gate of Prince Qi's mansion. At the same time, the servant said with a smile: "It seems that the prince also thinks highly of you, Earl Ji Kang."

"Why do you say that? King Qi and I are just temporarily putting on a show." Chang An said as he held the medicines.

"Mr. Ji Kangbo may not know that our prince's medicine room is full of precious medicinal materials that are not available in ordinary pharmacies and clinics. Today, because Mrs. Ji Kangbo may have caught a cold, I took a lot for Mr. Ji Kangbo."

"Precious medicinal materials?" Chang An was a little surprised.

"Indeed, the herbs in Ji Kangbo's hand are older than ordinary herbs, so their value is naturally different from that of ordinary herbs." The servant explained, "Our prince really wants you, Ji Kangbo, to continue to devote yourself to the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't think that my prince is drunk and merry every day, and there are even rumors of 'fragrant skin and warm hands'. But secretly, the prince has also helped the current emperor a lot."

"And I gave the medicine to Lord Jikang today because I knew that you were a man who doted on your wife, so I wanted to show some kindness to Lady Jikang to show the prince's sincerity to you."

Chang An raised his eyebrows at this time and said, "How come it seems that everyone knows that I dote on my wife. Everyone is talking about it."

The servant also smiled and said, "Of course it is so."

Sitting in the carriage, Chang An quickly returned to the gate of Chang Mansion. At this time, Chang Wenmeng just came out. When he saw Chang An getting off the carriage from Prince Qi's Mansion, he was stunned for a moment, and then saw the medicine bag in his hand, so he asked:

"Yonghe, what are you doing?"

"Prince Qi's Mansion." Chang An was afraid that there might be eyes around, so he simply told the destination.

Chang Wenmeng immediately understood what he meant, then waved his hand and said, "You should go back soon, Li'er is still waiting for you."

"Yes, father."

Chang An bowed to Chang Wenmeng and entered the Chang residence carrying the medicine bag. Then Chang Wenmeng saw the servant again, who also greeted him, "Hello, Doctor Chang."

Chang Wenmeng nodded, walked to the front of the carriage, and said to the servant: "Please tell King Qi that I thank King Qi for taking care of my son."

"Mr. Ji Kang is truly a man of great talent," the servant flattered, and then said, "I will definitely convey Dr. Chang's words to you."

Chang Wenmeng took out a silver ingot, threw it to the servant, and said, "Thank you for your help."

The servant held the reins, bowed to Chang Wenmeng, and left.

Chang'an returned to the courtyard. Huaiqin and Zhen'er were sitting in the pavilion doing needlework. When they saw Chang'an coming back, they stood up and greeted him, "Sir."

When Zhen'er saw the medicine bag in Chang'an's hand, she walked up and took the medicine bag from Chang'an.

Chang An returned to the room and found Gu Li lying on the desk, seemingly taking a nap. He immediately slowed down his pace, quietly came to the desk, and slowly sat down next to her.

He held his breath and slowly moved closer to her face. Her expression was so peaceful and serene, as if she was having a sweet dream. Her eyes were gently closed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was smiling. She seemed to have untied her hair before going to bed, and her soft black hair was scattered on the table, forming a beautiful picture.

Gu Li's skin was so fair that you could almost see the blood vessels under her skin. Her eyebrows were also very thick, but they were neatly trimmed. Although her eyes were closed, Chang An could imagine how bright and moving she would be when she opened her eyes.

When Chang An saw Gu Li's beautiful expression, he couldn't bear to disturb her sweet dream. He sat quietly beside his wife, admiring her beauty.

After a while, as if she had sensed Chang An's presence, Gu Li slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, she also saw Chang An sitting next to her, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face.

But soon, a smile appeared on her face. She said to Chang An softly and sweetly, "Chang Lang is back?"

Chang An nodded, then gently pinched Gu Li's waist, and then held her in his arms and sat her down. Gu Li left the desk, and Chang An happened to see the poem paper on the desk. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what Gu Niang just wrote?"

"Thinking of Changlang - There are loquats in the yard and butterflies in the house. The spring breeze blows the flowers and disturbs my heart. Apricot blossoms fall in the snow and the words are spoken on the lamp. I want to understand the words carefully."

Chang An picked up the poem paper, then habitually put his face to Gu Li's temples, kissed him gently, and asked, "Do you really miss Chang Lang so much?"

"Yes." Gu Li also kissed Chang An in return and said.

Chang An put down the poem paper, then scratched her nose and asked, "Then why did you fall asleep on the table just now? Shouldn't you be thinking about me and can't sleep?"

"I didn't want to sleep, but I don't know why, I suddenly fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the table." Gu Li put his hand down and placed it on Chang An's hand that was supporting his waist.

"Then I realized that it was Chang Lang in my dream as well."

"Is it Chang Lang in your dream too? Take my reward!" When Chang An heard that Gu Li was dreaming about him, he kissed her on the lips.

"I was wondering why I fell asleep. It turns out this was all Chang Lang's trick..."
