Chapter 384 The truth is not important to the world
Ran Qingxuan obviously didn't believe it, so he took out the imperial edict on behalf of Gu Yanchen.
In front of Gu Yanchen, she slowly unfolded the imperial edict. Just eleven words determined the lives of all the generals in Hulu Pass.
"If the Marquis of Zhenbei sends troops to rescue us, all nine clans will be killed!"
"Was it the late emperor or Emperor Mingde who issued the decree?" Gu Yanchen was confused at the critical moment. Ran Qingxuan put away the decree with hesitation on his face...
Zhenbei Hou turned slightly to the side, not wanting to face what was about to happen.
Ran Qingxuan took a deep breath and said, "There is only one imperial edict..."
There is only one imperial edict. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
"Is this the order from Qi Jing?"
Gu Yanchen reacted, suddenly sneered, clenched the secret letter in his hand, his chest heaving violently, and he took deep breaths to control his emotions.
"It turns out there was no rescue at all. It was a dead end from the beginning to the end..."
Duan Yi tried to comfort him, but when he learned that it was Qi Jing who left his father to die, Gu Yanchen was completely immersed in grief and was not willing to listen to other people's comfort.
He also realized that Qi Jing had probably been planning to attack the Gu family from the very beginning, and it was not Qi Ren who imprisoned his eldest brother, but Qi Jing from beginning to end!
But why?
Gu Yanchen kept asking himself why Qi Jing did this, why he wanted to kill their family...
They were so close in the beginning, but when he found out that his decree was three days late, Qi Jing even waited for him to return to Beijing and personally begged for forgiveness...
Then what about those words he said in front of Qi Jing that he didn't blame him?
Is it a joke in his eyes?
"Qi Jing was less than eleven years old at the time. If no one had told him what to do, how could a child like him dare to issue such an order?"
Gu Yanchen had begun to suspect that Emperor Mingde’s fainting was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against everyone in the Gu family.
"Could it be that the Northern Qi royal family believed that my father, the great general who defended the country, was powerful, so they used the invasion of the foreign ghosts to make my father's death a matter of course?"
While Gu Yanchen was talking to himself, Duan Yinghe had already made up his mind to let him know the truth. He directly took out the most unreadable secret letter from his hand and unfolded it.
"Once you've seen it, you'll understand everything!"
Gu Yanchen was immersed in grief and did not take the secret letter that must not be seen by his brothers seriously at all.
But when he unfolded it and saw what was inside, he froze in place as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The contents of the secret letter were too shocking. After reading it, Gu Yanchen quickly put it in his arms and then looked at Duan Yinghe.
"If you already knew this, why are you willing to do this?"
Duan Yinghe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If you want to make the truth known to the public, you can't just talk about it. The price you have to pay behind the scenes is huge. Can you guarantee that things will go as you wish?"
"My Duan family has been trapped in this land for decades. Apart from having an empty title and military power that seems to be granted by the emperor, what else can I do?
Are you asking me to gamble the lives of everyone in the Duan family and do something that is bound to end in death? ”
Duan Yinghe became more and more excited as he spoke, and began to pace in the study. Ran Qingxuan stood nearby, very curious about what was written on the secret letter that Gu Yanchen had put away.
To the point that Duan Yinghe made such desperate remarks...
And the truth he mentioned, and the fact that he was destined to die, Ran Qingxuan was curious, but also a little puzzled as to why he didn't want to let him see it.
"This is the truth, even if you don't want to believe it..."
"No, I believe that this imperial edict alone cannot be fake..."
The imperial edict not only had the imperial seal but also Qi Jing's private seal on his behalf. Besides, no one in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty should dare to forge the imperial edict.
Gu Yanchen had a serious expression on his face and looked at Duan Yinghe very seriously.
"No matter what the cost, I will tell the truth to the world. Uncle Duan, just stay at the Duan family and live a peaceful life!"
Unlike Duan Yinghe, Gu Yanchen chose a completely opposite path after knowing the truth.
Just guard the Duan family and do nothing. This is like Duan Yinghe’s fate and it cannot be changed!
Regardless of whether Gu Yanchen said this as a sarcasm or really wanted him to do nothing, his decision was undoubtedly dangerous.
Ran Qingxuan was not a fool, so he could naturally hear that revealing the so-called truth would bring him fatal danger.
She couldn't ask in front of the Duan father and son, and suppressed her eagerness to know the answer.
Seeing Gu Yanchen was about to leave, Duan Yi dragged his sick body and quickly stepped forward to hold him back.
“The reason why I gave you the secret letter written by Uncle Gu is because your current status is not enough to scare Emperor Mingde.
But everything you do will be watched, and one wrong step will bring disaster to the Gu family. You are the only man left in the Gu family. Can you bear to see no one left in the Gu family? ”
Although his tone was full of pleading, Gu Yanchen still looked at Duan Yi coldly and remained unmoved.
"Don't go. The truth is not important to the world. Even if the people knew it, it would not have any impact on them.
But you are different. Whether you succeed or not, you will bear the shackles that others cannot understand! ”
"It's not worth it at all!"
“What is worth it?
You are not him, so it is not up to you to decide whether it is worth it or not! ”
Ran Qingxuan walked forward and stood side by side with Gu Yanchen. His words left the Duan father and son speechless.
Duan Yinghe originally thought that Ran Qingxuan was a sensible and smart woman, but now it seems that her behavior is simply pushing Gu Yanchen to the forefront.
"Niece-in-law, don't look at this matter from a woman's perspective. This is not the backyard of a deep mansion..."
"Oh? What you mean by woman's opinion is that you think I over-praised Gu Yanchen, causing him to lose his judgment and make the wrong decision?"
I have to say that Ran Qingxuan analyzed Duan Yinghe's thoughts very accurately. After all, that's what he thought.
"Nonsense, you know that revealing the contents of the secret letter is very dangerous. He is the only son left in the Gu family. The reason why Brother Gu didn't want them to see the secret letter is because he is worried that they will want to reveal the truth after learning it.
And now he knows that it is because of his nephew's identity that Emperor Mingde will not be concerned about him. He only needs to take good care of his family and live a peaceful life. Why should he take risks! ”
It has to be said that Duan Yinghe looks at the problem from his own perspective. Ran Qingxuan sneered as he listened.
"Gu Yanchen is not any of you. He has his own thoughts and knows what to do."
"If you're just worried that he might be in danger and fail to accomplish this, then there's no need to say more, because he still has me!"
His aura and self-confidence were so strong that people could not take their eyes off him, but even so, the father and son still thought that Ran Qingxuan was dreaming.
Duan Yinghe sneered and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly blurred. Then Ran Qingxuan, who was three meters away from him, disappeared like a ghost.
