Chapter 188 An inexplicable warning from Qi Jing!
The followers around Qi Jing raised their chins with an arrogant attitude. Qi Jing just raised his hand slightly after hearing that.
"Gu Yanchen, you clearly knew the consequences of leaving the exile team without permission, but you still showed up in Shuangling City ahead of time. You are really brave!"
Gu Yanchen took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "It counts only if you escape. My husband and I just arrived in Shuangling City ahead of time!"
The implication was very clear, they had no intention of escaping, he just wanted to cause trouble.
Whenever Gu Yanchen thought about the fact that Qi Jing was also involved in the assassination, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. Why did these two people, who had such a good relationship before, end up like this today!
Originally, I thought Qi Jing was controlled by Emperor Mingde at that time and could not come to inform the emperor. Now it seems that perhaps he was involved in all this from the very beginning!
Thinking of this, Gu Yanchen stopped pretending, and with hatred in his eyes, he questioned directly.
"In everyone's eyes, I will be your biggest help in becoming emperor. Why, why did you order someone to assassinate me when I was seriously injured?"
The tearful questioning was not enough to make Qi Jing feel guilty. Just when Qi Jing explained the whole story, Ran Qingxuan clearly saw a trace of helplessness flash in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.
Even though it was fleeting, Ran Qingxuan saw it very clearly.
"If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die. Some things are not as one-sided as you think. Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to explain.
Since the exile of the Gu family has become a foregone conclusion, as your former good friend, I advise you to stay in the northwest and don't dream of returning to the capital again! ”
"Heh!" Gu Yanchen sneered. Now even if he tried his best, it would be impossible for him to return to the capital again. Qi Jing's words aroused suspicion.
But no matter what the reason was, the two were bound to fall out after the head-on confrontation. Even if Gu Yanchen wanted to find out why he wanted to kill him, he would not be able to find out the truth.
Qi Jing stood up upon hearing this. All his previous frivolity and arrogance disappeared completely, replaced by determination.
"Bring your family to the northwest in an honest manner, and only then will you survive!"
After saying that, Qi Jing looked at Ran Qingxuan meaningfully.
The threatening words made Gu Yanchen's heart tremble. Looking at Qi Jing's departing back, he knew that his friendship with Qi Jing for many years had also disappeared at this moment.
Not until Qi Jing left completely did Gu Yanchen finally relax. Qi Jing's determination and threats also made him see the reality clearly. A Jun is a Jun after all. With just one word, the entire Gu family might cease to exist!
It doesn't matter what happens to him alone, the worst that can happen is death, but there is no reason for the women of the Gu family to die with him, not to mention that he has Ran Qingxuan by his side, the person who brings hope to him and the Gu family.
Ran Qingxuan had been thinking about the look Qi Jing gave her before he left. It seemed like a warning, warning her not to act rashly.
But she is a prisoner now, what else can she do?
Now, apart from the women of the Gu family and Gu Yanchen, she only has...
Deep in thought?
In an instant, Ran Qingxuan understood why Qi Jing gave her a warning look. It was clearly telling her that she'd better not think about looking for Chen Huai.
Once she finds Chen Huai, her husband Gu Yanchen might also return to the capital...
But why?
Qi Jing first made open and implicit sarcasm, then warned Gu Yanchen not to think about returning to the capital, and even made some threats before leaving.
All these things were telling Gu Yanchen that it would be best not to return to Beijing.
Thinking of something, Ran Qingxuan shook his head uncertainly again.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Gu Yanchen asked, "Have you thought of something?"
Ran Qingxuan explained Qi Jing's reaction before he left, what he said, and added his own guesses. Gu Yanchen stood there silently, lost in thought.
"Is something big going to happen in the capital? Is Qi Jing just not wanting you to get involved in this mess?"
As a bystander, Qu Feng was not clear about the relationship between Qi Jing and Gu Yanchen, but he could hear some of the implication in the words.
Then Gu Yanchen shook his head, denying Qu Feng's guess.
"Impossible. Based on our previous relationship, if he was planning something, he would definitely tell me because he knew I would firmly protect him, unless..."
As he spoke, Gu Yanchen slowly widened his eyes, his tone full of disbelief.
"Unless... he is going to do something huge, something that no one will approve of!"
Ran Qingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly and sensed something was wrong. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she reached out and grabbed Gu Yanchen.
"The three people in the palace are producing a large amount of Gu..."
"Traveling palace? Making poison?" Qu Feng was puzzled and looked at the two of them in confusion.
Ran Qingxuan looked at Gu Yanchen anxiously and said, "If our guess is correct, Qi Jing might really want to do something big in the capital, so he asked those three people to produce a large number of poisonous insects."
Speaking of this, Ran Qingxuan's expression became increasingly worse.
"As the crown prince, if Qi Jing does something that no one approves of, perhaps the first person to stand up will be Master Shen who has been teaching him..."
"And the way he looked at me just now was clearly warning me that I'd better follow you to the northwest honestly and not think about asking Chen Huai for help!"
Gu Yanchen was shocked. He couldn't understand why Qi Jing, who was already the crown prince, could be so cruel.
Thinking of something, Gu Yanchen spoke with difficulty.
"No matter what Qi Jing wants to do, your grandfather will be a big obstacle for him. After all, your grandfather holds the will of the retired emperor..."
"On the eve of his attack, perhaps your grandfather will be the first person he attacks!"
Qu Feng was confused, but it was not difficult to hear that the prince seemed to be planning something, and the person who was first to be affected was Ran Qingxuan's nominal grandfather.
"Can't you write a letter to warn them?"
Gu Yanchen shook his head and said, "Qi Jing will definitely not just plant spies in the exile team. He knows everything we do and will definitely not let the news leak out."
"Even if the news reaches the capital safely, if he finds out something is wrong, it will anger him and force him to carry out his plan ahead of time. In this way, many people will be in danger."
Ran Qingxuan also echoed.
“That’s right. When we went to the palace to rescue people, we emptied his vault and took away the three Gu makers and the Gu worms.
If Qi Jing continues to make money and make poison after receiving the news, it means that he must be planning something. Regardless of whether it is as we guessed, it is always right to take precautions in advance. ”
For some reason, ever since he analyzed that Qi Jing might attack Shen Huai, Ran Qingxuan always felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Frightened, panicked, sad.
It was as if someone was shouting in the depths of her soul, telling her not to do nothing!
