Chapter 187 Good fellow, riding a donkey to look for a donkey!
Gu Yanchen's voice was filled with excitement and astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that the bottle would appear here.
Ran Qingxuan looked at the very unique bottle and asked in confusion: "Who is it? Is it someone you know?"
Gu Yanchen took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
"More than that, the Ice Vase was made from a piece of ice that my second brother got from the top of the snowy mountain in the northwest. Since he only got a small piece, he asked a skilled craftsman to make a palm-sized jade vase.
Originally, my second brother wanted to give it to my second sister-in-law so that she could put it in the house as a decoration to cool down in the summer.
But... the Ice Bottle has not been sent out yet. A year ago, my second brother was guarding the Cold City on the Yigui border when he was hit by a sudden snowstorm. Ten days later, when the snowstorm stopped, it was too late to look for people. The Cold City had been buried under the snowstorm..."
"As for my second brother and those soldiers and civilians... Emperor Mingde sent people to search for them. More than half of the people in Hancheng were missing, and the rest were all dead. There has been no news about my second brother since then..."
It was also the first time that Ran Qingxuan heard him talk about his second brother. While feeling regretful in his heart, he spoke uncertainly.
"Is there a possibility that the second brother may have escaped, but was just unlucky enough to meet the Blue Rain people, and the ice bottle on him was also seized as a trophy?"
Gu Yanchen stared at the Aquarius on the stage and shook his head in denial with some uncertainty.
"Impossible. Although Blue Rain is adjacent to Yigui, Hancheng is located in the northwest border of Yigui, while Blue Rain is in the northeast. It is obviously impossible!"
Indeed, one was in the west and the other in the east. Unless the second master of the Gu family, Gu Yanchong, had a car like her, it would be impossible to move long distances.
"I'll ask Pang You about the bottle later. Maybe we can intercept the provider of the Moon Goddess Cold Pill. Now I have to confirm whether the Moon Goddess Cold Pill is what I imagined!"
"What?" Gu Yanchen seemed not to have heard clearly. Ran Qingxuan turned around and faced the booth, watching Pang You pour out the contents without blinking.
Even though there was a thick piece of cloth between them, people around could still sense the chill emanating from the bottle.
"Just now I was wondering why it was so cold sitting here, it turns out that the chill was coming from this bottle!"
"Don't mention it, this bottle doesn't look ordinary. It can be used to hold Moon God Cold Pills, so the identity of the provider must be extraordinary!"
"I just don't know if this bottle will sell..."
There were discussions one after another, and Ran Qingxuan stared at the thing that rolled onto the plate. The crystal clear beads emitted an ice-blue luster. That was the so-called Moon Goddess Cold Pill!
The people on the first floor below burst into exclamations of admiration, while Qi Jing looked smugly towards where Gu Yanchen was.
"Huh?" Ran Qingxuan opened her mouth and let out an inexplicable laugh. Qu Feng and the others beside her were a little confused and looked at her.
Without waiting for them to ask, Ran Qingxuan retreated to the table with an incredulous smile on his face.
"Ah Xuan, what's wrong with you?" The expression on her face was too abnormal. It was the first time Qu Feng saw her like this, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Gu Yanchen frowned, looked at the Moon Goddess Cold Pill that was put back into the bottle, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He walked up to her, held her shoulders, and asked carefully.
"Qingxuan, do you...have the Moon God Cold Pill?"
Originally, she was still bidding with Qi Jing for the Moon Goddess Cold Pill. It didn't make sense for her to stop suddenly halfway through. And judging from Ran Qingxuan's expression, he clearly had an expression of "So that's it".
After these words were spoken, Qu Feng and Tang Yueliang looked at Ran Qingxuan in shock, as if they had not expected this to happen.
"Sister, do you really have the Moon God Cold Pill?"
"I've been searching for this for a long time, and it turns out I have this thing all along. I was really looking for it!"
She didn't expect that such a coincidence would happen to her. Ran Qingxuan was so excited that she was incoherent. If they had asked the Divine Doctor what the Moon Goddess Cold Pill was, they wouldn't have come all the way here.
And if they met Qi Jing here, if he still took into account the relationship between him and Gu Yanchen, he might not report the fact that the two of them escaped secretly.
But Ran Qingxuan didn't have much hope. After all, Qi Jing seemed to be a cunning man, but in fact he was a very hypocritical person.
She thought it would be better to have as little contact with this person as possible, and quickly calmed herself down, then Ran Qingxuan spoke to the three of them.
"Let's leave now and try not to confront Qi Jing. We have to ask Pang You about the porcelain bottle. If we can't get any clues, we will intercept the person who provided it."
As early as when Ran Qingxuan said that she was looking for someone else while riding a donkey, Gu Yanchen knew that she really had the Moon Goddess Cold Pill. He was shocked and immediately prepared to leave.
But what is coming will come. Before they could leave, several figures outside the door blocked their steps.
"Your Highness Prince Chen is in such a hurry to leave, but you are afraid that people will recognize you for pretending to be rich even though you have no money?"
Gu Yanchen's brows jumped and he quickly adjusted his state.
The door was pushed open, Gu Yanchen stood still, and Ran Qingxuan did not retreat at all. However, Qu Feng pulled Tang Yueliang behind him to block the visitor's inquiring view.
This was not the first time the original owner had seen Qi Jing, but it was the first time Ran Qingxuan had seen him. Based on the scenes in the original owner's memory and this time seeing him in person, we can speculate...
It indeed confirmed her guess that Qi Jing was not only hypocritical but also very narcissistic. It was just that there were so many people in Beijing and he disguised himself very well.
Looking at the person standing next to Gu Yanchen with an aggressive look without any disguise, Qi Jing walked in with a look of interest.
"I originally thought that Princess Chen was interested in the Moon God Cold Pill, but I didn't expect her to stop calling halfway. What a pity, what a pity!"
The frivolous look in his eyes and the slightly suggestive words he said made it clear to everyone present that he had bad intentions.
The hand hidden under the wide sleeves gradually tightened, and a murderous intent flashed in Gu Yanchen's eyes.
Ran Qingxuan noticed his abnormality and took hold of his hand through the cover of his sleeve to comfort him.
The slightly flushed face quickly returned to normal. Qi Jing watched this scene with great interest, marveling that Ran Qingxuan had such ability.
You have to know how Gu Yanchen treats women. He knows it very clearly. There is no reason for him to obey the words of a bed-climbing woman.
"Princess Chen is really good at this. You should know that my brother has never been interested in women. Few women can catch his eye. I'm afraid Princess Chen is the first one!"
After saying that, a hint of amusement flashed in Qi Jing's eyes, and he leaned forward slightly and said leisurely.
"It seems that people in the capital still don't know enough about Princess Chen. I wonder if it's because..."
"Qi Jing!"
Gu Yanchen stood sideways in front of Ran Qingxuan, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes, as if it would burst out in the next second and burn the man in front of him to ashes.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, please be careful with your words. How dare you act rashly when a mere exiled prisoner stands before you, the future crown prince of Northern Qi!"
