Chapter 536: I think you know better than anyone else that I can't help myself

I thought the person would come out after a while, but 20 minutes passed and there was no sign of him. Gu Yanchen had no choice but to stay alone in the empty room.

Ran Qingxuan, who had entered the space, was very familiar with the subtle changes just now. Entering the space was not her intention to escape...

I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror...

Well, she admitted, she was a little unprepared.

She accepted the Gu family and Gu Yanchen, but she always felt that it was a bit hasty.

Sitting on the sofa, she wiped her face irritably. Seeing that half an hour had passed, she decided to go out.

I think now that both of them have calmed down, it should be okay for them to go out and rest.

But when she walked outside, she keenly noticed that there was someone near the medical cabin.

"Who is it?"

The hand behind his back had already taken out a dagger, and Ran Qingxuan had already seen a vague figure in the shadows.

The next second, Qi Mingjing's voice rang out.

"Mrs. Gu, it's me!"

After hearing his voice, Ran Qingxuan quickly put away the dagger and his momentum weakened.

"So it's you. Why are you out at this hour instead of taking a rest?"

Just now she thought it was the three people living in the north who were about to launch an attack.

It's already 3 o'clock. I don't understand why this person doesn't sleep or come out so often.

Qi Mingjing knew that he had scared someone and smiled embarrassedly.

“It’s a bit boring to stay in the same place every day.”

Ran Qingxuan knew that he was recovering well now. It was true that this happened when one stayed in one place for a long time.

Despite this, she still joked: "Don't tell me you can't sleep because you can't see our Fangfang."

"What are you talking about, Madam Gu? Didn't we just meet two days ago..."

Qi Mingjing said this with a silly smile, and seeing him like this, Ran Qingxuan felt it was not appropriate to go out again.

"It's cold outside, come in and have something hot."

Qi Mingjing had been with Ran Qingxuan for a long time and knew that she was not particular about trivial matters and had no other thoughts about a man and a woman being alone together late at night.

After entering the room, Ran Qingxuan prepared two cups of hot chocolate and honey biscuits. After taking a sip, Qi Mingjing asked her why she didn't rest at this time.

Ran Qingxuan originally wanted to hide it, but he stopped the moment the words came out of his mouth.

She looked up at Qi Mingjing, who was somewhat confused by her gaze.

"Madam Gu, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ran Qingxuan was silent for a moment, and then he told the story of the death of Emperor Mingde, the succession of the new emperor to the throne, and the siege of the North Gate by the Yigui people.

After he finished speaking, Ran Qingxuan saw that he didn't say a word and thought that he didn't care about these things.

Who would have thought that the next second, Qi Mingjing seemed to have changed into a different person, and said in a deep voice: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will definitely be great changes in the court.

If it was Qi Ren who ascended the throne, given his qualifications, he would probably not be able to handle the heavy responsibility and might even be restrained by his mother's family. ”

“If Qi Jing ascends the throne, I’m afraid the common people will live in dire straits from now on.

This person is narrow-minded and selfish, and will inevitably be blinded by power. It would be better for Qi Ren to become the emperor..."

Seeing his fierce eyes and the aura emanating from his body that only a superior should have, Ran Qingxuan's pupils shrank instantly and his heartbeat quickened.

he……

Know everything!

"When did you know?"

Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but ask the question in his mind.

"What does Madam Gu mean?"

Qi Mingjing's eyes were complicated, but after a moment they returned to their previous look.

"Actually, no matter what it is, it doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I can get married and have children like a normal person and live an ordinary life."

Ran Qingxuan frowned. Everyone would have such thoughts, but the reality is not like this.

"Master Qi, I think you know better than anyone else that one cannot help oneself."

"You have made such a thorough analysis of what will happen when someone becomes emperor, how could you not have thought of your own fate?"

The hands hidden under the robe clenched instantly, and Qi Mingjing had to admit that what Ran Qingxuan said was very realistic.

After a moment, he relaxed and looked out the gray floor-to-ceiling window.

"It might be good to stay here forever."

Ran Qingxuan was speechless for a moment. It turned out that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night because he came out to see if this place was suitable for long-term living...

Feeling a bit disappointed with his friend, Ran Qingxuan said mercilessly.

"I admit that Fangfang likes you. She might stay here for you..."

Before Qi Mingjing could feel happy, Ran Qingxuan hit him on the head with a stick.

"But do you think Fangfang will be happy in the future with this kind of restraint?"

"Also, if you have children in the future, will you let them live here forever?"

"And your... parents, even if you can hide, what about them?"

Once Qi Jing ascends the throne, anyone who knows his background will not be able to escape.

"Now that you know this, do you think it's possible to stay out of it?"

Qi Mingjing lowered his eyes and said nothing. Ran Qingxuan drank the remaining hot chocolate in his hand and walked out.

"I still have to go and rest. I have to deliver food and fodder to Beiguan after daybreak... Think about it carefully!"

Ran Qingxuan's heart was already somewhat confused, and now it was even more confused.

She could never have imagined that Qi Mingjing already knew who she was.

How do you know?

When did you know?

She wanted to ask how much he knew about this, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Qi Mingjing remained sitting there until he finished the rest of the hot chocolate in the cup, took it to the sink, rinsed it, put it away, and returned to the rest area in silence.

After Ran Qingxuan went out, Gu Yanchen, who had just fallen asleep and woke up, clearly noticed that her mood seemed to be wrong.

"Go to sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow."

Before Gu Yanchen could speak, Ran Qingxuan took off his shoes and socks and quickly lay down on the bed, covering himself with the quilt and whispered something.

Now he couldn't ask, so he just lay down.

When Ran Qingxuan woke up, it was already half past eight in the morning. The people around him had gotten up at some point and washed up before going out.

There were a lot of things to do today, so the two of them ate in silence. After breakfast, they got in the carriage and left the village.

Qian Ming was going to be pushed to the street corner and executed early this morning. The villagers all wanted to witness such a gratifying moment, so they rushed to the city in groups of three or five.

Outside the Gu family's kitchen, Chen Wan'er, who was standing and digesting, couldn't help but speak.

"Sister-in-law, did you notice that Sixth Brother and Sixth Brother's wife seemed a little strange this morning?"

"What's wrong?"

The second sister-in-law realized it later and asked while washing the dishes.

"You noticed it, but I didn't hear them arguing last night, and there was no movement at night. Don't tell me something else happened."

"Anyway, I think the atmosphere between the two of them this morning was a little off. If you ask me, Sixth Brother still owes Sixth Brother's wife."

"you mean?"

The first thing Zhou Furong thought of was what happened on the day they got married.

If this is true, it is reasonable for Ran Qingxuan to feel resentful.

But in her opinion, her sixth brother's wife was broad-minded and would not quarrel with her sixth brother over these things.
