Chapter 201 The Last Wish of the Ancient Love Brain 5
All the guests in the Prince of Yue's mansion left in less than three days. The King of Yue could not give them the future they wanted, so they had to look for other good options.
The housekeeper found Gu Laoliu, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Gu Laoliu didn't ask him what he wanted to say and waited patiently for him to speak.
After hesitating for a while, the housekeeper said hesitantly, "Princess, the storehouse is empty. I'm afraid we have to reduce the number of servants in the mansion."
The housekeeper didn't know that there was a treasure house in the Prince of Yue's mansion. Only a few of the most trusted secret guards of the Prince of Yue knew about it. Of course, even if he knew it now, it would be useless because the treasure house had been plundered by Chang'an.
As for the empty warehouse, I'm sorry, it was Chang'an's fault.
Gu Laoliu propped up his chin and said indifferently: "Reduce it, let the servants in the mansion let them leave, return all their indentures to them, and you can leave if you want.
There is no need to waste time in the Prince of Yue's Palace. There is no one here who is worthy of your loyalty. The decline of the Prince of Yue's Palace is obvious.
Look at how much silver is left on the account? Share it with everyone. If it's not enough, use some valuable things to make up the difference, and you can take it outside to exchange for silver."
The very valuable things were taken away by his daughter, and the things left were just ordinary items, but for ordinary people, it was also a windfall.
The butler kowtowed to Gu Laoliu with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Princess."
"Go," Gu Laoliu waved his hand. From now on, this huge Prince Yue's Mansion would belong to him and his daughter.
Oh, and there are also the secret guards of King Yue, why not send them to Gu Fei? Those who can serve as secret guards have good martial arts skills and should not be wasted.
Chang'an walked around the mansion and found fifteen secret guards. Compared with Gu Fei's one hundred, the King of Yue was not doing very well. He was not even as good as Prime Minister Gu.
She kicked them all out from the dark. All fifteen secret guards were in the east courtyard, falling to the ground with a crackling sound.
Fifteen people dressed in black with only their two eyes exposed, got up from the ground in a daze, and felt someone kicking them from behind, and it was a child.
Gu Laoliu was sitting in the corridor outside the east courtyard, holding a cup of tea in his hand and raising his index finger to show off.
He took a sip of tea and then quickly spat it out. "Pah, what the hell? Can't the Prince of Yue afford a few ounces of good tea?"
"Dad, Pu'er is also a good tea," Chang'an came forward to take a look. They were used to drinking scented tea and green tea, so her father attributed other teas to not being good teas.
"It would be good to use it to cook tea eggs," Gu Laoliu put down the teacup, thought about the remaining tea leaves, and felt that they should not be wasted, so it would be just right to cook a pot of tea eggs.
"Then you may have to cook it yourself. There are no servants in the mansion, and Dayi is not here."
"Then wait until the freshman comes back and cook it."
"Can't you do it yourself?"
"Put aside the eggs and finish the first fifteen first."
"They have been poisoned by the King of Yue and need to take the antidote every three months," Chang'an took out five ceramic bottles and threw them to Gu Laoliu. These were what she had searched out from the King of Yue. They should be the antidotes for those secret guards.
Gu Laoliu took the bottle, opened one of the pills and took a look. It was a small brown pill. If you didn’t know, you would think it was a candy bean.
"Hey, everyone in front, come here, I have your antidote."
The secret guards on the opposite side saw Gu Laoliu holding a pile of bottles in his hands, looked at each other, and walked over with half belief and half doubt.
The head of the secret guards saluted Gu Laoliu and said, "I wonder why the princess is looking for us?"
His eyes fell on the pile of small porcelain bottles, and his meaning was obvious: he wanted to confirm whether they were real.
Gu Laoliu supported his forehead with one hand and said lazily, "Have you thought about where to go? The King of Yue is useless, and there is no future for you to follow him."
The head of the secret guards lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then hesitantly said, "Detoxify and go back to my hometown to farm?"
"I got these antidotes from the King of Yue. They can only alleviate the poison in your body, but not completely cure it. I'll show you a way. What do you think?"
"Please give me some advice, Princess."
"Go to the Prime Minister's residence and seek refuge with him. If you are loyal, perhaps the poison in your bodies can be cured. I can tell you that the King of Yue has put more than one poison in you. The antidote in these bottles is also poison."
The pupils of the secret guards trembled slightly, obviously they had just learned about this. They were silent for a long time, and the man next to the secret guard leader said in a hoarse voice: "This subordinate is willing to submit to the Prime Minister."
Even ants try to survive, let alone humans. They are secret guards, not death warriors. Besides, they are not absolutely loyal to the King of Yue, so it is normal for them to choose another wise leader.
As for how the Prime Minister will arrange them when they arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it all depends on the Prime Minister's wishes. As long as they can be detoxified, it will be fine.
Gu Laoliu asked the secret guard to take the letter he had written to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Gu Fei. After the secret guards left, the Prince of Yue's Mansion really became an empty mansion.
He went to the East Courtyard where King Yue and Liu Jiaojiao were imprisoned. From then on, no one brought them food, so Liu Jiaojiao had to be self-sufficient.
"Concubine Liu, there are only three of us in the Prince of Yue's mansion now. Please take good care of your dear brother, the Prince of Yue. You will have to take care of his three meals a day from now on."
Liu Jiaojiao was puzzled. Why were there only three of them? There were at least 200 people in the palace. She thought Gu Yun was trying to make things difficult for her.
"Gu Yun, no matter what the prince is, he is still the master of the palace. I am his concubine. Why are you making things difficult for me?"
"To make things difficult for you? Are you worthy? Anyway, I have told you this. No one will bring you food in the future. If you don't find food for yourself, you will starve."
When Gu Laoliu turned around and left, he did not continue to lock up Liu Jiaojiao, but set up a barrier for the East Courtyard so that she could not walk out of the yard.
"Dad, you let her find food by herself and set up a barrier in the yard. She can't get out. How can she find food? Are you going to let her and the King of Yue eat dirt?" Chang'an didn't understand her father's actions.
Gu Laoliu: ...I forgot.
Then he went back and threw two bags of sweet potatoes and a bag of corn cobs that were so old that they were almost impossible to chew into the yard.
"Let them stay here for a few days. When Gu Fei takes over, we'll see how he wants to deal with them."
“They will probably be skinned alive.”
They were the only two people left in the huge palace. The gate of the palace had never been opened since the servants were cleared out.
That day, after Gu Fei came back from court, he found the gate closed. He knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. He went around the wall and flew directly into the mansion using his lightness skills.
The garden plants that caught my eye were growing wildly without anyone taking care of them, the steps were covered with golden fallen leaves, and the water lilies in the pond were in full bloom.
There was no one in the mansion. After walking around and not seeing Gu Laoliu, he left on his own.
