Chapter 771 It’s not because this person changed his gender, but because he became a different person!
"Ancestors..."
All the civil and military officials in the court took a deep breath when they heard what Ran Qingxuan mentioned. After all, who among those present didn't know the magic of the Battle of Hulu Pass?
Ran Qingxuan stood up and saluted to the Emperor and Empress together with Gu Yanchen beside him.
"Gu Yanchen and I hereby declare that no matter what happens in the future, my husband and I will support your majesty and the queen. Anyone who dares to have other intentions and harm Northern Qi..."
She paused, and a dangerous smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I don't mind letting this thunder test its power in more places."
Although Gu Yanchen did not say anything, wherever his eyes, as deep as an ancient well, swept across, the ministers bowed their heads one after another.
The third prince Qi Shen, who had been under house arrest in the Han Palace and had no sense of existence, also came to the palace banquet this time. Years of house arrest made this prince look like nothing like a prince. He lowered his head timidly, trying to reduce his presence.
Qin Yi's face turned pale. He pulled his pale daughter back a few steps and dared not say another word.
Qi Mingjing looked around at the ministers and said in a steady and powerful voice: "I hope you will remember what I said today.
If even the king of a country is indecisive, how can he lead the people of Northern Qi to unite as one?
What I want to create is a prosperous era where everyone is united! ”
Chang Fang gazed at Qi Mingjing's resolute profile, and infinite courage surged in her heart. She took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qi Mingjing. The pearls and jade on the phoenix crown sparkled in the candlelight.
"Although I come from the common people, I am willing to work with Your Majesty to rule the world together." Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear.
"If there is no strife in the harem, the former dynasty can be worry-free. This is the true foundation of the country."
Shen Huai sat at the head of all the officials, looked at the emperor and empress shaking hands, and suddenly stood up and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty is wise! Long live the empress!"
He knew that it would be better for everyone to know Qi Mingjing's intentions than for him to persuade them.
Gradually, one after another, the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor". Those unwilling eyes finally turned into submission under the intimidation of the emperor's majesty and the weapons in Ran Qingxuan's hands.
The night wind passed through the hall, blowing away the last trace of haze. Qi Mingjing and Chang Fang smiled at each other, holding hands tightly.
However, when Shen Huai sat down, she looked up at Ran Qingxuan, and her gaze seemed to penetrate her skin and look straight into the depths of her soul.
Ran Qingxuan put away his smile and suddenly realized that this old man who had experienced three dynasties might have already known everything.
Half a month later, Ran Qingxuan leaned on the carved railing of the inn, looking at the streets of the capital city becoming gradually lively.
During this period of time, she always avoided Chen Huai intentionally or unintentionally. Whenever those eyes that could see through everything looked at her, she felt panic in her heart.
After all, the owner of this skin is Shen Huai's granddaughter, and she... is just occupying the magpie's nest...
"Ah Xuan, what are you thinking about? It's time to set off." Qu Feng's voice came from downstairs, interrupting her thoughts.
"Coming soon." She gathered her hair at the temples and took a deep breath.
In the past half month, she, Qu Feng, Pan Shaonan, Kang Yihang and others have traveled almost all over the capital.
From the red leaves of West Hill to the flower show in South Garden, from the circus in East Market to the bookstore in North Street, she deliberately kept herself busy so that she had no time to think about the complicated household affairs.
But when she went downstairs, she saw Shen Huai standing at the door of the inn.
In the morning light, the old man was wearing a dark blue gown, with a white jade pendant hanging around his waist that he never took off. It was carved by the original mother herself.
As if sensing her gaze, Shen Huai tilted his head slightly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were particularly obvious in the sunlight.
"How about going to Ci'en Temple in the south of the city today? I heard that the vegetarian food there is excellent." Pan Shaonan suggested enthusiastically, breaking the brief silence.
"Okay! Take this opportunity to learn it and see if you can replicate it later!" Kang Yihang clapped his hands in agreement. It seemed as if the young man's energy would never run out.
Shen Huai remained silent, just nodded slightly. Ran Qingxuan bit her lower lip, held her stomach and didn't ask anything.
Inside the carriage, Qu Feng separated her and Shen Huai intentionally or unintentionally.
Ran Qingxuan looked at the flowing scenery outside through the car window, heard the laughter of his companions, but felt like a stone was pressing on his heart.
"Qingxuan, try this." In the dining hall of Ci'en Temple, Chen Huai suddenly handed her a piece of osmanthus cake, his voice so soft that only she could hear it.
She looked up and met the old man's cloudy but gentle eyes, but there was also a hint of sadness hidden in those eyes.
"Thank you, Grandpa." She took the cake. The osmanthus cake was sweet but not greasy, but it tasted a little bitter in her mouth.
After eating the cakes, Chen Huai suggested going out for a walk with him. Ran Qingxuan glanced at Gu Yanchen and motioned for him to go with him.
Chen Huai didn't say anything. When the three of them reached the lotus pond with their own thoughts, Chen Huai stood still with his hands behind his back.
After a long silence, Shen Huaiyou said: "I know you are not her. I want to know where my granddaughter Ran Qingxuan is?"
Gu Yanchen was shocked. He realized that the reason why Ran Qingxuan asked him to come was to tell him the truth!
"Taifu..."
"The person I'm asking is her!"
Looking at Gu Yanchen's reaction, Shen Huai knew that Gu Yanchen already knew everything.
Ran Qingxuan originally wanted to keep it a secret from Chen Huai. After all, the old man was old and might not be able to withstand the stimulation.
But through these few days, she realized that the longer she delayed, the more meaningless it would be, so she just told him everything.
While Gu Yanchen was somewhat flustered, Ran Qingxuan admitted for the first time that he was not Ran Qingxuan.
"The night before the Gu family was exiled, that is, the night before I married into the Gu family...
The real Ran Qingxuan has been killed by the Ran family. Maybe she starved to death, or got injured and infected, or maybe she was given an overdose of knockout drugs..."
Chen Huai never looked back from beginning to end, but the slightly trembling hands behind his back said it all.
"and you..."
Ran Qingxuan sighed and responded in a low voice: "My name is also Ran Qingxuan, and the owner of this body is also called Ran Qingxuan. The moment your granddaughter died, I also died...
Perhaps God took pity on my past, or perhaps God had mercy on the loyalty and bravery of the Gu family, so he allowed me to live a new life in your granddaughter's body.
But no matter whether it is out of pity for me or for the sake of the Gu family, I cherish it very much! ”
Ran Qingxuan said it casually, and the knot in his heart was untied, and he seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
But only Gu Yanchen was in a state of shock. For the first time, he realized that a person's transformation was not due to a change of character, but... a completely different person...
Shen Huai turned around, his eyes filled with deep sadness.
"I want to go back to Beiguanzixi with you. I think Your Majesty will sympathize with my old age and frailty..."
Seeing that he didn't insist on asking for more details, Ran Qingxuan looked at Gu Yanchen guiltily.
Gu Yanchen had heard this before, so after being shocked, he held Ran Qingxuan's hand tightly and refused to let go...
