In the end, things turned out just as she expected.
Qin Yuan not only came, but also came very quickly.
He didn't even change his clothes and directly interrogated Gu Yanran overnight.
At this time, Gu Yanran had been tied to the rack, with her hands cuffed with iron chains. Her originally delicate face was covered with some dust, but the cunning in her eyes did not diminish at all.
She raised her eyes to look at Qin Yuan, and just as she was about to speak, her chin was pinched hard by a bony hand.
"Tell me! When did she disappear?"
Qin Yuan's voice was terribly cold, carrying an endless chill.
Gu Yanran was pinched so hard that it hurt, but the smile in her eyes became more and more wanton.
"Pei Yuan, you are still so anxious."
"As soon as you heard about Chu Qingluan, you couldn't sit still."
"Want to die?"
With a "click", Qin Yuan increased the strength of his hands. There was no emotion in his eyes. He looked at Gu Yanran as if he was looking at a dead person.
"I...put me down...I'll say it."
“Cough cough… cough cough…”
Qin Yuan suddenly let go, looked away, reached out to pick up the soldering iron beside him, and fiddled with it in the brazier.
"You have one last chance to speak."
The iron chains rattled, and Gu Yanran was thrown to the ground. The unwillingness in her eyes almost turned into reality.
"It was Qi Che who kidnapped her!"
Gu Yanran stood up slowly, her tone mocking, "You faked your death and escaped, leaving behind everything in Da Chu, but Chu Qingluan turned around and got together with Xie Yunqi. The two of them were in the Youzhou Posthouse, staying in the same room. On the surface, they were handling government affairs, but in private, who knows what dirty things they did!"
Qin Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the pressure around him was terrifyingly low: "Are you looking for death?"
Gu Yanran approached fearlessly, and said with her red lips slightly opened, "Why are you so angry? Even if you don't want to accept it, this is the fact."
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Youzhou to inquire. Youzhou's former prefect Zhao Dequan and the garrison Wu Yong and others were also punished because they discovered their affair."
Gu Yanran spoke with such confidence that Qin Yuan's expression changed successfully.
My heart felt like it was hit hard by something, and there was an indescribable dull pain.
"What a pity! You have planned so many things, but Chu Qingluan doesn't even know you are still alive. She didn't even feel sad for you for a moment, and she just fell into the arms of someone else. Pei Yuan, are you really willing to accept this?"
"Pei Yuan, no, I should call you Qin Yuan now."
Gu Yanran chuckled, "Qi Che kidnapped her just to use her to contain Xie Yunqi, but for you, isn't this the best opportunity?"
Pei Yuan had his back to her, his body as steady as a rock. "What do you want to say?"
"I can help you find her." Gu Yanran raised her head slightly, "As long as you agree to cooperate with me."
"cooperate?"
Qin Yuan finally turned around, his eyes were so dark that it seemed like a storm was brewing. "Cooperate with a lying witch like you?"
"Whether I'm lying or not, you can find out by sending someone to Youzhou to investigate."
"Zhao Dequan's family is still in the farm on the outskirts of Youzhou, and Wu Yong's former subordinates are also scattered nearby. As long as you are willing to look for them, you can always find out something."
"As for cooperation - I know where Qi Che's lair is, and I also know that he kidnapped Chu Qingluan in order to threaten the Chu royal family. If you help me get out of this death row and help me recover my skills, I will take you to find Qi Che."
She stared into Qin Yuan's eyes and said word by word:
"When the time comes, you will rescue Chu Qingluan. It's up to you to decide whether to kill her or keep her, to find out about her and Xie Yunqi, or to take her back to Daqin. It's better than running around like a headless fly like you are now, isn't it?"
A dark light flashed in Qin Yuan's eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice: "What do you want?"
Gu Yanran opened her red lips and said word by word: "I want you to grant me the position of the Queen of Great Qin after you ascend the throne."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly froze.
Qin Yuan stared at her and suddenly sneered, "Gu Yanran, just you?"
"Because you have no other choice."
Gu Yanran smiled with confidence.
"Except for me, no one knows Qi Che's background, and no one can find Chu Qingluan in such a short time. By the time you get the news from somewhere else, maybe she has been tortured to death by Qi Che, or... she has been rescued by Xie Yunqi first, and the two of them have decided to get married, and you won't even be able to drink in the wedding wine."
She saw Qin Yuan's fingers gradually tightening, and knew that her words had worked, so she continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"Cooperate with me, you can not only find out Chu Qingluan's whereabouts, but also take the opportunity to get rid of Qi Che, the hidden danger, and make Chu Qingluan owe you a life-saving favor. Even if you use this as a threat in the future, and ask Chu Qingluan to stay with you forever, as time goes by, you can influence her with your actions. Why worry that she won't fall in love with you?"
"This deal is a sure win for you."
For a moment, the cell fell into deathly silence, with only the faint candlelight flickering.
Gu Yanran could even hear Qin Yuan's heavy breathing, and the struggle in his voice seemed to be about to overflow.
Gu Yanran slowly curled her lips.
Sure enough, in this world, no man can tolerate his beloved being touched by others.
Especially for a man like Qin Yuan, who is going to be the emperor in the future, it is even more impossible to tolerate him.
Just when Gu Yanran thought she had won, she heard Qin Yuan suddenly let go of her hand and chuckled.
When he turned to look at her, the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze into ice.
"Gu Yanran. Do you think I will believe you?"
Gu Yanran's smile froze: "What do you mean?"
Qin Yuan looked down at her, with undisguised mockery in his eyes.
