Chapter 583: Displacement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Han slept soundly without any dreams.

He hadn’t slept well recently. Coupled with the psychological damage he had suffered previously, he had been very paranoid.

The slightest movement would wake Luo Han up.

The next morning, amidst the chirping birds and the fragrance of flowers, Luo Han opened his eyes.

It had to be said that after getting enough sleep, one would feel much more comfortable.

If not for the fact that he was hungry, Luo Han really didn’t want to wake up.

Luo Cheng said, “You’re awake? Sit up and eat something!”

Luo Han looked up at Luo Cheng.

“Thank you, bro!”

“Why are you being so polite? Eat the millet porridge first!” Luo Cheng brought over a bowl of millet porridge and handed it to Luo Han.

Luo Han sat up, picked up the millet porridge, and ate it spoon by spoon.

Luo Han said, “That’s all you’re giving me?”

“What do you want to eat? Just get the chef to make it for you after you wash up! I’m giving you a bowl of porridge now because you haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. You have to eat some porridge,” Luo Cheng said indifferently.

“I want to eat something spicy! I feel like it’s too bland!” Luo Han quickly made a request.

Luo Cheng didn’t answer. He just read the medical book in his hand silently.

Luo Han asked, “What’s wrong? I haven’t seen you read a medical book in years. Are you in trouble?”

“It’s all because of you. How dare you ask me?!” Luo Cheng rolled his eyes at Luo Han and put down the book in his hand. “No one is telling me what’s going on now.”

When Luo Han saw Luo Cheng, he sighed.

“The Luo family is too rash. They want to support you in fighting for the throne.

“I really have to thank them for thinking so highly of me! Didn’t you tell them that I have no interest in that throne?!”

Luo Han sighed when he heard this.

“Of course they did, but no one cared! Those people have already gone crazy from all the setbacks. They only want to grab you and retaliate.”

Luo Cheng asked, “So you were set up by them?”

Luo Han nodded.

“When I felt that something was wrong, I remembered that Zi Yan’s medical skills weren’t bad, so I quickly came over to let him take a look. Then, he discovered the parasite poison. It wasn’t easy for Zi Yan to help me remove the parasite poison, but before I could recuperate, my grandma sent someone to bring me back.”

Luo Cheng asked again, “What happened after you were brought back?”

Luo Han said with a hopeless expression, “What happened? Can you imagine? When I went back, I found that the house was filled with good-looking maidservants. No matter what I do every day, there would be a presumptuous maid following me. How would you feel in that situation?”

Luo Cheng had thought of countless possibilities, but not this.

For some reason, when he heard what had happened to Luo Han, Luo Cheng felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.

Luo Han said aggrievedly, “Sigh, you don’t have to be so schadenfreude! The room was filled with the smell of cosmetics. Seeing those women staring at me, as if they wanted to cut me into pieces and eat me up, I had nightmares every night! I had no other choice. When I heard that you were back, I quickly came to seek refuge with you. I really can’t stay in that home anymore!”

Luo Cheng suddenly asked, “Such a big thing happened to your family. Who’s in charge of the county office now?”

Speaking of this, Luo Han looked at Luo Cheng in surprise.

“Didn’t you hear?”

Luo Cheng asked with a puzzled expression, “Hear what?”

Luo Han said, “The emperor decreed that I should be promoted. He hasn’t arranged an official position for me yet, so he just asked me to wait!” Luo Cheng was surprised and asked, “When did this happen?”

Luo Han recalled carefully and said, “On the tenth day after you arrived in the capital!”

When Luo Cheng heard Luo Han’s words, he finally understood why the Luo family was in such a hurry.

After he became the Seventh Prince, Luo Han would lose his official position, so the Luo family was anxious.

Luo Cheng said, “Looks like I’ve implicated you!”

“That might not be the case. I think the emperor wants me to be an official in your fief!” Luo Han voiced his guess. “Actually, this is good. It’s better to follow you than to be an official in the imperial court. At least you’re someone who sincerely wants to work for the commoners, unlike the few officials who are just fis.h.i.+ng for fame and brag all day long, but they haven’t done a single thing for the commoners!”

After Luo Cheng thought for a moment, he said, “You’re right. Even if the emperor didn’t arrange it that way, I would have done so! I’ve already planned to make White Foothill City my fief, so take care of your health first. You might become the mayor of White Foothill City in the future!”

“Huh?” Luo Han couldn’t believe that it was that simple.

“Doesn’t White Foothill City have a mayor? Even if you make White Foothill City as your territory, he might not leave!”

“He’ll definitely leave!” Luo Cheng smiled confidently.

In fact, the mayor of White Foothill City, Xiong Xiyuan, was also discussing this matter with his trusted aide.

Luo Cheng had already announced that he had chosen White Foothill City as

his fief to the capital. Xiong Xiyuan naturally had his own way to obtain the news.

At the thought that White Foothill City was about to become the Seventh Prince’s fief, Xiong Xiyuan felt indignant.

“I’ve worked hard in White Foothill City for so many years, but I didn’t expect others to take away the fruits of my labor now!”

The advisor reminded him, “Mayor, don’t think that way. Actually, in another year, according to the rules of the imperial court, you would have been moved elsewhere anyway, so why don’t you take this opportunity to propose being rea.s.signed? This way, you can leave a good impression on the emperor and perhaps get promoted to a capital official? Mayor, at your age, if you don’t enter the capital as an official, you won’t have anything to do with the cabinet in the future!”

Xiong Xiyuan said with a sigh, “I know you have a point. I just can’t bear to part with this place! Sigh, sometimes, I often think that it wouldn’t be bad if I could stay in Sichuan’s White Foothill City as the mayor. Although it’s not as prosperous as Jiangnan and other places, after living here for a long time, it feels like home.”

The advisor continued to persuade him, “Mayor, don’t think that way. Sichuan is too restricted and it’s inconvenient for commutes. It’s better to return to the capital!”
