Chapter 746: Doctors are kindhearted, but they can be divided into good and evil
After dinner, Zheng Borui and his friends returned to the guest room to rest in anxiety. Gu Yanchen accompanied Ran Qingxuan for a slow walk in the back garden before going back.
During this period, Gu Yanchen wanted to ask several times, but he held back.
The candle flame crackled and made a spark of light, illuminating Ran Qingxuan's profile.
Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the teacup, and her furrowed brows were reflected on the glazed celadon.
"What do you want to say?" Gu Yanchen held Ran Qingxuan's slightly cold hand.
"There are no outsiders here. You can tell me anything directly."
Unexpectedly, Ran Qingxuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly: "I was thinking that Qi Jing took Qu Feng away just to heal the wounds of Northern Qi. Since he wants the throne so much..."
She spoke each word with emphasis: "Then, give the throne to him!"
“Bang!”
Gu Yanchen bumped into the corner of the table when he stood up suddenly, and forced himself to sit down slowly, his voice very low: "Qingxuan, these words..."
"I'm not saying that out of anger." Ran Qingxuan pushed open the window to confirm that there was no one in the yard. Yuanbao immediately understood and squatted at the door.
"Qi Ren is impulsive and can't handle big responsibilities. I guess there are complaints from the court. If Qi Jing can really..."
"But he is even more brutal!" Gu Yanchen frowned.
"For a piece of salt pan, he even wanted to blow up the dam... and my brothers were trapped, and the Gu family was framed... Which one of them was not his doing?
If he were to ascend the throne..."
"No, listen to what I say first." Ran Qingxuan reached out and pulled him, motioning him to sit down first.
The emotion that was a little bit high just now calmed down, Gu Yanchen pursed his lips and chose to sit down...
"You may have forgotten that he was poisoned..."
Gu Yanchen was stunned. He really had forgotten. But then he frowned again.
"If he's been poisoned, how can we give him the throne?"
Ran Qingxuan rolled his eyes, moved closer to him and stared into his eyes carefully.
"They say pregnancy makes people stupid for three years, how come you are the one who becomes stupid in my case?"
"You're not pregnant!"
Gu Yanchen couldn't help laughing and grabbed her hand that was touching him and held it against his chest.
"Stop making trouble, let's talk business first!"
Ran Qingxuan withdrew his hand somewhat sadly and pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Let's not talk about the poisoning first, let's talk about other things first."
"Qi Jing has scars on his body and face from the explosion. Looking at the entire Northern Qi, except for me, the entire Imperial Hospital is helpless."
Gu Yanchen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly grasped the key point: "You mean... to make a fuss about treatment?"
In the candlelight, the couple's shadows overlapped on the wall.
Ran Qingxuan leaned against Gu Yanchen's chest and shook his head.
"The royal family, the civil and military officials, and the common people, no one would recognize a disabled person as emperor.
But if they were asked to suddenly recognize a person of unknown origin as emperor, there would probably be nothing they could do. ”
Gu Yanchen's pupils suddenly shrank: "Are you talking about Qi Mingjing?"
Ran Qingxuan nodded: "Even if Qi Mingjing was parachuted in to become the emperor, it is impossible to use the reason that Qi Jing is dead. If the court officials do not recognize it, I am afraid that the world will not recognize it either."
"Qi Jing is too obsessed with the throne. He took Qu Feng away because he wanted to rely on him to heal himself. If that's the case, then Qi Jing's wish will be fulfilled..."
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
"It will take more than two months for the 'Chansi' to break out, and the symptoms are similar to those of paralysis. By then, even if Qi Jing has already taken the throne, who in the court would be willing to recognize a paralytic as the emperor?"
"If he really can't wait, maybe we can help him!"
Yuanbao's low roar came from outside the window. Gu Yanchen quickly blew out the candle and saw the flickering flames in his wife's eyes in the moonlight.
That is not the soft light of a benevolent doctor, but the sharp edge of a warrior.
"So you had a plan?" His voice was tense.
"Since when..."
"From the moment he knew the existence of space!"
"So what was written in the letter you asked me to give to the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Ran Qingxuan stroked his abdomen gently: "Qi Jing will not let us go. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to..."
"Why not take control of the chess game?" Gu Yanchen suddenly asked, the shock in his eyes gradually turning into determination.
He remembered what his father had taught him about the ways of the court: sometimes, elevating an enemy to a high position was the best way to bury him.
The night wind carried the smell of soil and grass and seeped into the window cracks. Gu Yanchen suddenly frowned: "But will Qu Feng agree?"
"He won't refuse!" Ran Qingxuan said firmly.
"Doctors have kind hearts, but they can also distinguish between good and evil. Qu Feng knows Qi Jing's true face better than anyone else."
Two days later, the weather became even darker and the dew became heavier.
Ran Qingxuan put on her clothes and touched her belly, then turned to look at Gu Yanchen who was checking his sword. His profile under the moonlight was fascinating.
"Are you all ready?" she asked softly.
Gu Yanchen nodded and put the fox fur that Chang Hu gave her on her shoulders: "It's windy at night, so you still have to be careful."
The two of them quietly left the yard under the cover of night. Yuanbao followed for a few steps, unable to hide his excitement. Ran Qingxuan was afraid of being heard by his family, so he quickly made a gesture to it to keep quiet.
Originally Yuanbao didn't know what Ran Qingxuan meant, but he could understand that Ran Qingxuan wanted it to calm down.
"I'll drive." After they left the village, Ran Qingxuan took out the jeep from the space, and Gu Yanchen opened the door and jumped in. His movements were quite skillful.
Ran Qingxuan got into the passenger seat and spread a sheepskin map on his knees: "According to Qi Jing's pace, they should have just passed Qingfeng Gorge."
"Let's go!" The engine hummed and the car body shot out like an arrow.
The village behind him had disappeared. Gu Yanchen drove very carefully, glancing sideways at Ran Qingxuan in the passenger seat from time to time.
But he soon slowed down again. Gu Yanchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "You take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."
Ran Qingxuan shook his head: "I can't sleep."
She looked at the rapidly receding tree shadows outside the window and suddenly asked, "Tell me, why is Qi Jing so obsessed with the throne?"
"Power is like a poison. Once you get addicted, it's hard to quit."
Gu Yanchen looked forward and continued, "What's more, he was named the crown prince by the previous emperor when he was young. Now that he has become like this, he must be holding back his anger."
"What about Qi Mingjing? Is he willing to take on this hot potato?"
Gu Yanchen was silent for a moment: "He has no choice. The royal bloodline of Northern Qi is dying, Qi Ren is stupid, Qi Jing is vicious... Someone has to bear this burden."
As we drove along in the middle of the night, the outline of the Silver Moon City wall gradually became apparent in the distance. In the moonlight, Silver Moon City looked like a sleeping giant beast.
Gu Yanchen parked the car in a hidden woods, and Ran Qingxuan waved his hand to put it into the space.
She performed this action smoothly, but it still shocked Gu Yanchen. No matter how many times he saw it, this ability to take objects out of thin air was amazing.
"Let's go." He put his arms around his wife's waist, tiptoed, and easily jumped onto the city wall.
The soldier on night watch was dozing off and was unaware of two dark shadows passing over his head.
As they passed through the city, they passed by Qi Mansion. Lanterns were hung high in front of the vermilion lacquered gate, illuminating the words "Qi Mansion" in red.
"Qi Mingjing doesn't even know he wants to be the emperor!"
