Chapter 297 Changes in the capital!
As soon as they saw that they were food, they knew that they were made by Ran Qingxuan. Although they were happy, they were still a little scared about Gu Yanchen's sudden concern.
Little did they know that this was specially prepared for them by Ran Qingxuan. After all, they had worked hard along the way.
After returning to the tent, Gu Yanchen repeatedly thought about the contents of the envelope, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Ran Qingxuan was immersed in a sweet dream and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
It was not until half an hour later that Gu Yanchen finally fell asleep.
The next morning, Bu Wei rarely failed to urge the prisoners to get up and set off. After all, they had drunk a lot of wine last night.
When Ran Qingxuan got up, he did not see Gu Yanchen. He dressed neatly and walked out of the tent. His sister-in-law and others who had gotten up early had already prepared breakfast.
After looking around, she found that Gu Yanchen was sitting by the fire to keep warm. When their eyes met, Gu Yanchen smiled at her.
"Hurry up and wash up and come eat."
"good..."
For some reason, facing a smile that was no different from usual, Ran Qingxuan always felt that Gu Yanchen was a little different today...
But she couldn't tell exactly what was different, so she had to go wash her face first and plan to ask after dinner.
It was not until about eight o'clock that Bu Wei began to order the team to set off.
Since the dried wolf meat could only be transported on a cart, Shang Zicheng, who was recuperating on the cart, was driven off. He Qin didn't know if she was stimulated or not, but she carried Shang Zicheng on her back and left without saying a word.
As for Xiao Hongyi, who had abdominal surgery, apart from feeling some pain in the wound, he had no problem walking.
Xiao Wende and Xiao Wenmei carefully supported him and were able to keep up.
But until lunch, Ran Qingxuan didn't find a chance to talk to Gu Yanchen.
He was either collecting firewood or looking for fodder for the donkeys and horses. She didn't feel comfortable asking when it was time to eat, so it was delayed until the afternoon.
After hurrying for a long time, the team finally stopped in a forest more than ten miles away from Sitong City. Even though the city gates were locked, there were still many teams of all kinds marching towards Sitong City.
Just as Gu Yanzong said, Sitong City was built in the mountains, with endless mountains on both sides of the city gate. Once the city gate was locked, it was almost impossible to see anything inside the city.
Many teams set up camp around the woods like them. They were basically merchants who failed to enter the city in time, as well as foreign men who obviously did not look like Northern Qi people.
There were also some people carrying swords, and they would occasionally glance towards crowded places, and it was obvious that they were not easy to mess with.
Fortunately, the official uniforms worn by Bu Wei and his men played a role, and those people just glanced at them briefly and then looked away.
What puzzled Ran Qingxuan was that Gu Yanchen had been acting a little strange since dinner, and seemed to be a little too vigilant, which was not the case before...
"Gu Yanchen?" Ran Qingxuan slowly put his hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, the next second Gu Yanchen turned his head suddenly like a frightened cat.
There was a flash of panic in his eyes, but his expression changed immediately after he saw who it was.
"Is it time to take a break?"
Looking at Gu Yanchen who was somewhat incoherent, Ran Qingxuan immediately realized that something must have happened.
"Boss Bucha, my husband and I want to go see if there are any usable herbs around here, is that okay?"
"Okay, don't go too far." Bu Wei was writing something on a memorial. Hearing this, he raised his brush and replied.
Chen Chengping thought the two were really going to look for herbs, so he said hello to Bu Wei and went together.
Ran Qingxuan didn't care. He just took Gu Yanchen's hand and walked deeper into the forest, ignoring the Chen father and son who were picking herbs behind them.
It was not until the crowd disappeared that Ran Qingxuan looked at the silent Gu Yanchen with a serious face.
After a long time.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Gu Yanchen was about to speak when Ran Qingxuan's eyes shone and he said in a deep voice, "Don't lie to me, I can see it!"
Gu Yanchen was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and took out the letter that he had been carrying with him.
"When we came back, Qu Feng asked An Yi to bring it back..."
Ran Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
The first time he took the letter and opened it, Ran Qingxuan thought it was no wonder that Gu Yanchen, who was always calm and composed, would be like this.
Qu Feng mentioned in the letter that Second Prince Qi Ren and his mother's family did or said something that actually caused Emperor Mingde to depose the Crown Prince and appoint Second Prince Qi Ren as the Crown Prince!
In addition, Qu Feng also mentioned that Prince Qi Jing was looking for people from the Divine Doctor Sect everywhere, obviously wanting to bring them back to see Emperor Mingde.
To see if he was crazy, he abolished the crown prince after he came of age and appointed someone else as the future heir.
Ran Qingxuan didn't even need to think to know that Qi Ren must have done something shameful to allow him to sit on the throne of the crown prince.
In addition, the letter also mentioned that Ran Qingxuan's grandfather, Shen Huai, did not show up before the emperor appointed a new crown prince, and only appeared in the court after the imperial edict was issued.
Moreover, Chen Huai actually strongly agreed that Qi Ren should become the new crown prince.
Ran Qingxuan then understood why Gu Yanchen had become so nervous today. Even if someone looked at him a few more times, he would stare at them.
Taking a deep breath, Ran Qingxuan said, "Are you afraid that the first thing Qi Ren will do after taking power is to get rid of us?"
Gu Yanchen nodded, his expression very solemn.
"Even if we take the Gu worms and the people who raise them away from the palace, nothing will change.
I should have thought of it earlier. Whether it is Qi Ren or Qi Jing, they have only one goal, and that is the throne under Emperor Mingde. ”
"I can't guarantee that it was because we took those things away that Qi Ren was forced to act in advance..."
If that was true, then his decision at that time was digging a hole for himself.
If Qi Ren is just hiding his strength, then it's fine. They still have plenty of time and can slowly maneuver.
But it's too late now!
If Qi Ren believed that his relationship with Qi Jing had not broken down, then his first worry would be that once Qi Jing's position was shaken, he would definitely return to Beijing without hesitation to help.
"Qu Feng told us to be careful, I think you should understand why..."
Ran Qingxuan nodded. It was simply that Qi Ren didn't want Gu Yanchen to have an easy time, so apart from sending assassins, he would use Gu to surprise them.
In short, no matter which possibility it is, Gu Yanchen dare not gamble.
Ran Qingxuan moved closer, put his arms around the man opposite him, and gently rested his head on his chest.
"Are you afraid that we have been replaced by the assassins sent by Qi Ren, especially those who raise Gu?"
Gu Yanchen knew that his thoughts could not escape the meticulous Ran Qingxuan, and he looked at her with a hint of fear in his eyes when he heard her words.
"You know, I can't lose you..."
