I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (64)
64. IT'S DIFFICULT
Just when Emperor Wenhan was about to say the second half of the sentence, Eunuch Gao took two steps forward and said something in his ear with a smile.
Emperor Wen Han was shocked suddenly, his face instantly changed.
Chu Ran frowned. Before she could figure out what was happening, she saw Emperor Wen Han's face sinking as he slowly said: "Li Aiqing's daughter is so outstanding, I will take a good look at the princes in the family some day to see if there is a suitable person. Li Aiqing, what do you think?"
"..."
The words were shocked everyone, and the whole hall was silent.
Prime Minister Li was deeply shocked when he heard the emperor's words, as if he had not expected this ending.
It had already been decided upon. How could he suddenly change his mind.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all see the same doubts in the eyes of the other party.
The emperor's move was very obvious just now. He obviously intended to betroth the daughter of Prime Minister Li to Hengnan Wang, Gu Xian, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind.
Chu Ran also felt surprised.
Recalling Gu Xian's calm and composed look before, her heart gave a jolt and she suddenly looked at Gu Xian, only to find that he was looking at herself with a soft and calm expression, and asked: "What's the matter? Ran Ran."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a long while. Chu Ran lowered her eyes, and said with a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I want to go back soon."
Gu Xian tilted his head and looked at her quietly for a moment. Don't know what came to his mind, he curled his lips silently, and said in a deep voice, "Okay. We will go back when the banquet is over."
No one noticed that before leaving the banquet hall with the emperor, Eunuch Gao, who was waiting by Emperor Wenhan's side, gave Gu Xian a meaningful look.
Before the banquet began, Gu Xian went to meet Eunuch Gao alone.
Currently, he was the emperor's favorite. Father Gao didn't know why he suddenly sought himself out, and he didn't know the purpose of his trip, but the only thing he knew was that he should be extra cautious in his attitude. So, bowed his head and said: "This old slave has seen Wangye."
"Eunuch Gao." Gu Xian, dressed in profound clothing, spoke calmly, his tone steady.
Eunuch Gao started murmuring in his heart, but showed no obvious sign on his face. He smiled and said: "I don't know what Wangye is looking for this old slave for?"
Gu Xian said calmly, "I'm looking for Eunuch Gao because I want to entrust Eunuch Gao with a task."
Eunuch Gao glanced at him suspiciously.
Gu Xian's expression remained unchanged as he lightly stated his purpose.
What he asked Eunuch Gao to do was to make him say a few words in front of the emperor. His request was very strange. He said that, if he(Eunuch Gao) saw that the emperor going to give him a marriage decree, he should say those words, nothing else, and the emperor would not blame him for it.
And Eunuch Gao repeated what he heard from Gu Xian in the ear of Emperor Wenhan: "This slave had heard a rumor that this Li family Miss was praised by a senior monk when she was a child, and was told that she will be the most noble woman in the world in the future. The marriage of Prime Minister Li's daughter and Hengnan Wang is really a happy event. This old slave congratulates the Emperor, congratulations, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Gao never expected that it was such a sentence that immediately changed the expression of the emperor who was planning to bestow a marriage to Gu Xian. He was so close to the emperor, and even saw the emperor's expression turn fierce instantly, and he never mentioned the matter of the marriage anymore.
According to the current attitude of the emperor, many people in the empire believes that Gu Xian will become the crown prince. If so, wasn't it right that he married the daughter of Prime Minister Li? Why does the emperor look very unhappy? Does he not want to pass the throne on to Gu Xian?
Then how did Gu Xian know that the emperor would give him a marriage decree, and that the other party would be the daughter of Prime Minister Li?
Several thoughts kept spinning in his mind, and Eunuch Gao was in a state of confusion.
It is said that the monarch's heart was unpredictable. Sure enough.
After the banquet, Gu Xian had to go to meet the emperor, and Chu Ran waited for him outside the hall.
When she saw Gu Qianyu passing by. She was about to greet him when she saw him, but he just walked past her indifferently as if he hadn't seen her at all. She chuckled, and even gave up the greeting, stepped back two steps back to her original position and continued to wait for Gu Xian.
"Chu Ran. "After walking a few steps forward, Gu Qianyu suddenly stopped.
She looked over in confusion and saw him standing in the shadows looking at her, even from a distance of two or three feet, Chu Ran still felt the coldness radiating from his body, making her back cold.
"..." she didn't say anything, silently asking him what the matter was.
Gu Qianyu was standing there motionless, but his eyes were on her neck, where there was an obvious hickey, which looked particularly ambiguous under the dim light.
Gu Qianyu walked to her, grabbed her hand, and then pressed it on his shoulders, and then approached her face: "After that day, I will always hurt here. As long as I hurt, I will always think of you, of how you lied to me. How you escaped from my side."
When Gu Qianyu woke up, she had already escaped without a trace. He almost dispatched all the secret guards to catch her.
When he saw her and Gu Xian holding hands, no one knew how much he hated it at the time.
Chu Ran pushed him away with all her strength.
But after Gu Qianyu said that, he turned around and left, leaving Chu Ran to stand in place, full of questions.
Is he jealous?
Chu Ran suddenly had this thought.
The next moment this ridiculous reason was refuted by herself, how could that be possible.
At best, she was just a woman who was audacious enough to think about him. The woman who said she was loyal to him and adores him, but suddenly mixed up with a deadly rival that he doesn't like at all, even to the point of no return.
It is inevitable that there would be some unhappiness.
"Speaking of which, why didn't the emperor consider giving Gu Qianyu a marriage decree?" Chu Ran said to herself.
