When Gao Lishi said this, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.
Wu Tianlang felt that it was time for him to step up.
"Old Weng, you've done a great deed!”Wu Tianlang said.
Gao Lishi was obviously not interested in Wu Tianlang. He looked at Yang Yuhuan and asked,""Imperial Concubine, what do you need this old servant for?”
Yang Yuhuan nodded with a smile and pointed at Wu Tianlang.""Old Man, this is the warrior who can predict the divination. It was he who predicted that I would lose my life in the Horse Posthouse, so today we will discuss the countermeasures together.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Lishi looked at Wu Tianlang doubtfully." Young man, I really didn't expect you to be able to sneak into the Courier Station. It seems like you have some skills! Tell me, how should I cooperate to let the Imperial Concubine avoid this danger?”
Wu Tianlang looked at Gao Lishi and felt that this old eunuch still didn't quite trust him. He was a little unhappy, but now that things had come to this, he could only rely on this old eunuch.
"Old Weng," Wu Tianlang said solemnly,"the situation is like this. The security outside the posthouse is tight, and Chen Xuanli has already taken precautions. Even the Crown Prince, Li Heng, is paying attention to the movements here. We first have to think of a way to let the Imperial Consort escape from the posthouse, and then Old Weng has to think of a way to not let anyone know. At the very least, he has to help us buy a day's time so that we can escape from this most dangerous area.”
"How is that possible?" Gao Lishi asked. The Emperor couldn't just not see the Imperial Concubine for a day. Besides, if nothing unexpected happened, he might withdraw from the Horse Posthouse tomorrow and prepare to continue his journey west. At that time, wouldn't he be exposed?”
Hearing this, Wu Tianlang fell into deep thought.
Yang Yuhuan and Dong Mei, who was beside her, also looked worried.
At this moment, Gao Lishi smiled at Yang Yuhuan and whispered," Imperial Concubine, this old servant has a plan. I don't know if it will work..."
Yang Yuhuan was overjoyed when she heard that." Tell me, Old Man! Hurry up and tell me!"
Wu Tianlang was also eagerly waiting for Gao Lishi to speak. He wanted to hear what he had to say.
Gao Lishi's face was solemn as he said in a low voice,"Imperial Concubine, this old servant also feels that the recent situation is urgent and there are some unpredictable dangers. If Imperial Concubine wants to escape from here, it can be considered a good choice.”
Gao Lishi continued," If the Imperial Concubine wants to buy time to escape, why don't we have someone pretend to be the Imperial Concubine and stay in the posthouse? That way, the Emperor won't suspect anything."”
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, she was a little puzzled." But Old Man, if anyone impersonates me and is exposed, wouldn't they be sentenced to death?!" How can I bear to let others die for me?"
"Imperial Concubine, don't say that! I'm willing to do this-"
The one who said this was Dong Mei. She looked at Yang Yuhuan with tears in her eyes and said,"Imperial Concubine, you have treated us well. If you can exchange Dongmei's life for Imperial Concubine's safety, Dongmei is willing to do so.”
When Yang Yuhuan heard Dong Mei's words, she was deeply moved and a line of tears flowed down her face.
She walked forward and put her arm around Dong Mei's shoulder, saying sadly,""Dongmei, oh Dongmei, I really don't know what to say.”
"Imperial Concubine, if I can do something for Imperial Concubine, this is also Dong Mei's good fortune!”Dong Mei said generously.
Wu Tianlang did not expect Dongmei to be so righteous at such a crucial moment.
Wu Tianlang knew that Dongmei had committed the so-called crime of deceiving the emperor. When Li Longji saw that he, Yang Yuhuan, had been replaced by Dongmei, the palace maid, he would definitely fly into a rage. Perhaps, not only would he kill Dongmei, but he would also bring disaster to her family.
However, someone had to make a sacrifice. Dong Mei must have thought it through before doing this. Wu Tianlang also felt that this was necessary.
Wu Tianlang had a doubt in his heart, so he asked Gao Lishi," Old Man, if the Emperor or someone else came to visit the Imperial Concubine, wouldn't they be discovered?”
Gao Lishi smiled." Young man, if you're talking about playing these tricks, you're probably weak! You must know that if you want to buy time for the Imperial Concubine to escape, you must try your best not to let others discover that the Imperial Concubine is Dong Mei in disguise. No matter who wants to visit the Imperial Concubine, just say that the Imperial Concubine has caught a cold, the kind that is easily contagious…"
"It's such a hot day, and you still have a cold?”Wu Tianlang was puzzled.
Gao Lishi rolled his eyes at Wu Tianlang. A cold in the summer is really scary. When the time comes, I will add fuel to the fire so that the emperor doesn't dare to get close…"
"What about the imperial physician? The emperor will let the imperial doctor take a look,"Dongmei said.
Gao Lishi was a veteran of political trickery, so these questions were nothing in his eyes.
Gao Lishi said," The reason why we have to pretend to have a cold is because we have to wear more clothes and cover up all parts of our faces. This way, even the imperial physicians won't be able to tell."”
Gao Lishi's words convinced everyone, and they all nodded.
"Alright, this old man is really resourceful. It seems that the Imperial Concubine is going to be saved this time!”Wu Tianlang said with a smile.
Wu Tianlang couldn't help but glance at Dong Mei. This seemingly weak girl had actually made the decision to replace the Imperial Concubine at such a critical moment. This truly shocked Wu Tianlang.
In the afternoon, the two of them had an intimate moment. Wu Tianlang had developed a feeling for Dong Mei that was difficult to part with.
" However, Imperial Concubine, don't be too happy too early-" Gao Lishi said when he saw that everyone was somewhat relaxed.
"Old Weng, are you worried about the situation outside?”Yang Yuhuan asked.
Gao Lishi nodded." Imperial Concubine, it's chaotic outside. It won't be easy for you to escape. Also, Imperial Concubine, if Dongmei's act of impersonating you is exposed, the Emperor will definitely send people to search for you. Once the news of you escaping from the posthouse spreads, not to mention the Emperor, even the commoners will want to capture you and ask for a reward. Crown Prince Li Heng's army and An Lushan's rebel army will also be searching for you everywhere!”
When Yang Yuhuan heard Gao Lishi say this, she couldn't help but frown.
Wu Tianlang had thought about the dangers of escaping, but after hearing Gao Lishi's explanation, he realized that the outside world was indeed filled with danger!
"Old Weng, we can let the Imperial Concubine put on makeup! If you can't, why don't you dress up as a man?" Dong Mei suggested.
"Yes, yes! Dongmei's makeup technique is not bad. When the time comes, she can turn me into a man. Wouldn't that be able to avoid people's eyes and ears?”Yang Yuhuan said.
Gao Lishi fell into deep thought and said,"Noble Consort is a national beauty. Even if she is dressed as a man, she is still very attractive. Who has seen such a beautiful man? However, this was more or less effective. What this old servant is worried about is that there are many eyes and ears outside. Even if Imperial Concubine runs away, they will follow the clues and track her down…"
"If that's the case, it seems that the jade ring really can't escape being robbed!”Yang Yuhuan sighed.
At this moment, Gao Lishi's eyes lit up." Imperial Concubine, this old servant has a plan…"
"Old Weng, what plan? "Tell me quickly," Yang Yuhuan asked hurriedly.
Gao Lishi nodded and smiled, keeping him in suspense. Imperial Concubine, let's play a trick within a trick…"
