Chapter 276 Patiently Waiting for the Opportunity
It was at this moment that Ran Qingxuan suddenly became dazed, and slapped his forehead with a look of annoyance on his face.
"broken!"
"What's wrong?" Gu Yanchen stopped the car and asked worriedly.
"I just remembered that I forgot to ask Old Master He about something important!"
It's too late to say anything now. Old Master He has passed away. There is no point in going back. After all, even He Fanxiong may not know about this.
"Do you still remember the box of poisonous insects we took away from Taicang Palace?"
"Remember, this has something to do with the Gu?"
“It’s a big deal!”
He Guzi is dead, and the baby Gu in his body will die as well, but the mother Gu is not affected at all. But that's where the problem lies.
When he told Gu Yanchen about the first time he discovered the poisonous insect when treating He Guzi, the latter also frowned.
"According to what you asked those three people, this poisonous insect has existed for a long time. Maybe it was planted before Old Master He was taken out of the palace!"
"After all, as a medicine boy, following his master, he can come into contact with the Blue Rain King at any time. Maybe this is just a means for Balanch to gain power. He just changed his tactics after the enemy army invaded the imperial city."
The reason was not far-fetched. After all, he had rescued the imperial concubine and He Chengxuan, who had become the emperor. The status of High Priest Balanch was much higher than that of the regent.
This is also completely in line with Balanch's ambition!
only...
"The current king of Blue Rain, He Chengxuan, is already old and has been in power for seventy or eighty years. Has he never thought about passing the throne to his descendants?"
After all, the older you get, the lower your spirit and judgment will be. For someone who holds power over an entire country, any mistake will bring disaster to your country.
Gu Yanchen shook his head upon hearing this and said indifferently to Ran Qingxuan.
"He Chengxuan...has no offspring..."
"Ah? No way?"
He is already in his seventies or eighties, how could he not have any children? This is too strange.
Gu Yanchen nodded affirmatively: "Indeed, he has no offspring, but Queen Lan Yu did give birth to a royal heir a few years ago.
But for unknown reasons, she died suddenly at the age of six or seven. Afterwards, Queen Lan Yu locked herself up in the deep palace and ate vegetarian food for decades. ”
"All right..."
In Ran Qingxuan's opinion, as a queen, how could she not know that only with children could her position be secure? Even if the first child was gone, she could still have another one if she wanted to. How could she be so selfless as to become a nun with untied hair? It was simply too absurd.
Moreover, in ancient times, a man, especially a king of a country, would have so many women that he would probably have a different one every day. How could he not have any offspring?
As he thought about it, Ran Qingxuan pursed his lips and couldn't help shaking his head.
"That's the end. Once He Chengxuan dies, the entire Blue Rain will be in a state of being leaderless. When there is chaos, the innocent people will suffer!"
What Ran Qingxuan said makes sense. Once the king of a country passes away, how could there be few people who are eyeing him covetously?
And the most important thing is that He Chengxuan has no offspring. I am afraid that before other countries take the opportunity to invade, all those who have such intentions in his own country will fight to the death!
Anyway, the person is dead. If someone comes forward with a will or an imperial edict to pass on the throne, who would dare to question it, or who would have the ability to question it?
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanchen just reached out and rubbed the top of her head and said casually.
"We don't need to worry about this. However, when we go to Blue Rain to rescue Third Brother, we will most likely face off against Balanch. Even if it's not her, the Gu practitioners around her are not good people."
Ran Qingxuan collected his thoughts and sat up straight, with a scornful smile on his face.
"As for those shrimp soldiers and crab generals raised by the old witch, I, Ran Qingxuan, don't take them seriously. Their tricks are not enough to make me retreat. Third brother, I will definitely save them!"
At that moment, Ran Qingxuan's self-confidence returned to its peak. Gu Yanchen originally didn't want to see her worrying about these things. At this moment, he saw that familiar person again, and he felt even more happy for her.
“Blue Rain King He Chengxuan and He Fanxiong are twin brothers. The only one who knows that they are twins is the imperial concubine who escaped the disaster and gave birth to He Chengxuan.
The fact that it took decades to find that person means that the person who wanted to kill He Fanxiong and his family was most likely the former imperial concubine, now the empress dowager.
Queen Mother Lan Yu is now a hundred years old and may die at any time. Moreover, He Chengxuan has no children. Once she passes away, He Chengxuan will have to consider the succession to the throne.
We don't have to be too nervous about saving the third brother, we just need to wait patiently for the opportunity! ”
Being so smart, how could Ran Qingxuan not understand what Gu Yanchen meant.
With sparkling eyes, Ran Qingxuan asked excitedly: "What do you know?"
Gu Yanchen smiled mysteriously but said nothing.
Ran Qingxuan's curiosity was aroused, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Your secret guards?"
Not getting a response, Ran Qingxuan became anxious.
"Just stop suspensein' me, okay..."
Gu Yanchen raised the corners of his lips slightly, looking ahead.
Ran Qingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and before Gu Yanchen could react, he suddenly moved close to his cheek.
The slightly cold lips did not affect the passionate kiss at all. The hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and the whole car body shook.
After quickly stabilizing the steering wheel, the sound of heavy breathing and heartbeat could be faintly heard in the space with the slight roar of the engine. When he turned his head, he was met with a pair of forbearing eyes.
Ran Qingxuan pulled his mouth and gave a fake smile: "Why, do you still want to continue?"
Gu Yanchen almost choked to death on his own saliva, and helplessly took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Ran Qingxuan was secretly pleased with himself, and said in his heart: "Little guy, I'll fascinate you to death!"
"Well... it's like this. After we confirmed that the Third Brother was in Blue Rain, I had someone catch up with Liu Zi and his men, and go to Blue Rain to hide for a while, and gather information by the way."
"Did you find any useful information?"
"I haven't heard from them yet, because it will take more than a month to get to Blue Rain."
"And the kites specially trained to deliver secret messages have not appeared either. Perhaps they are still on their way."
Ran Qingxuan was a little disappointed when he heard this. If they had a car, why would they have to walk for more than a month?
"But it will be soon. Kites fly very fast. If there is any news, it will appear in our hands in a few days."
"Well, I really want to know where Balanch hides her people. Then I will go straight to her and catch her off guard!"
Although the trip was extremely dangerous for the two, they did not gain nothing. The incomplete parchment scroll they found by accident was actually rewarded for their kindness.
"It seems that God is fair after all, and has sent this parchment scroll to us intact!"
"Let's talk about everything after we settle down. Anyway, the things won't run away."
There is no place safer than Ran Qingxuan's space. Qi Jing may never know that there is such a magical place until his death.
