I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (72)
72. THRONE OR CHU RAN
Sun Shangcheng bowed his head and said to Gu Xian: "The secret guards has received news that Gu Qianyu and his party are hiding in a basement cell on the outskirts of the city."
"How many guards are guarding it?" Gu Xian asked.
Sun Shangcheng said: "Not many, but I suspect that there are other people in the dark."
"Relocate half of the troops guarding at Beng Wang's residence." Gu Xian ordered.
With half of the troops deployed, the Hengnan residence will not be as safe as it used to be. But Gu Xian would not give Gu Qianyu another chance to escape.
In the dense forest, there was a high hill hidden. If you don't look carefully, you will not find that there is a stone gate hidden there.
As Sun Shangcheng said, there were only five people guarding at the door, all in white robes and masks, carrying sharp knives, and constantly walking around in front of the door. Gu Xian was hidden among the weeds, and the guard behind him began to search for the people lying in ambush in the dark.
Sure enough, there were more than a dozen secret guards hidden in the dark. The secret guards quietly dealt with these people. One of them came to Gu Xian's side to report and whispered: "Wiped out."
At this moment, Gu Xian felt a little suspicious. But this thought just passed by in a flash. His palm turned over, and dozens of dark shadows behind him suddenly appeared in the sleepless night, which was even darker than this. In the blink of an eye, blood spattered.
The gatekeepers didn't even have a chance to resist. Sun Shangcheng rushed in first, and the group of people lit bright torches and began to search for people everywhere.
When Gu Xian walked in, there was a rotten smell emanating from the place, making people vomit at the smell. The stone room was impermeable, extremely cold and stuffy, and the corners of the walls illuminated by the torches were still lying with a set of white bones, making people tremble all over.
Going further inside, the torch has been quietly extinguished. Gu Xian's heart jumped abruptly , "Something's not right!" Sun Shangcheng frowned, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong, everything was too easy. Gu Qianyu's dark guards and Gu Xian's dark guards have fought against each other several times, and they were not inferior to each other in strength. It was too unusual to be quietly eliminated in this way.
Furthermore, since Gu Qianyu was looking for such a secret place, there really was no reason to arbitrarily arrange so many people to patrol outside the door.
Gu Xian's had an astonished look, then he lost all his composure, and roared, "Chu Ran!" When Sun Shangcheng looked over, Gu Xian had already dissappeared.
...
Hengnan Wang Residence.
Chu Ran felt a little cold cross her face in her sleep, and she opened her eyes with a light frown.
A black shadow sat beside her bed, her eyes were a little blurry and so she thought it was Gu Xian. Her voice was a little low as she asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold the person's hand resting on her face, wanting to warm him up, but once she touched the person's hand, she immediately realized something was wrong.
She drew back abruptly, but she didn't expect that the person would grab her wrist and pin it on the pillow so hard that she almost broke her wrist.
The man approached her face, and that face finally became clear. The narrow and cold phoenic eyes seemed to have waves flowing in the dark night, and his thin lips evoked a sneer, looking at her with a cold and playful expression.
"Did you miss me?"
"Gu Qianyu." She called out his name with trembling lips.
His long nails ran across her cheeks lightly, leaving a scratch that was not too shallow but not too deep, and then he smoothly pinched Chu Ran's chin and slowly lifted her face.
"Be good!"
Chu Ran just wanted to shout.
"Shhh..." Gu Qianyu gently pressed her lips. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and looked at her with a very dangerous look. He said, "If you scream, none of the maidservants keeping a watch for you at the door will live."
Chu Ran tried hard to get out of his grip, but in the end it was in vain. She did not dare to call anyone, Gu Qianyu could sneak into Henan Wang Residence in such a silent manner. It was unfathomable and unpredictable, she did not dare to act rashly.
Suddenly, Yong Mei's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, are you awake?"
Gu Qianyu looked at her, with complacency in his eyes from having played everything in the palm of his hands.
"I'm thirsty, I'll get up and drink some water, you go to sleep!" Chu Ran replied.
Yongmei replied with an "Oh" from outside.
Gu Qianyu's face bloomed with a smile and he said to Chu Ran bewitching, "Really obedient. Ben Wang will take you away now. When I revive my army, I will come back and take back what belongs to me."
...
Gu Xian returned to the residence to see the guards lying on the ground, and knew that something bad had happened.
"Ran Ran..." He ran to Chu Ran's bedroom with panic, panting heavily.
Gu Qianyu and Chu Ran shared a horse and he led his subordinates to the north.
Chu Ran was blindfolded, and only felt the wind galloping past her ears, and the bumps on the road were so severe that she couldn't tell the direction at all.
Chu Ran turned her head to face him: "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there."
"You are his imperial brother. I will help plead for you, maybe he will let you go."
Gu Qian Yu sneered and said, "You also know the word "maybe", imperial brother..." He savored these two characters carefully, full of irony.
Will the royal family still have affection?
Gu Qianyu squinted his long and narrow eyes, and he smiled and said, "It's not certain who will die."
Gu Qianyu led Chu Ran on a horse galloping along the way. After a long time, they gradually showed signs of slowing down until it stopped completely.
She didn't know where she was. She only saw a chic courtyard in front of her eyes, so it seemed that she was far away from the capital.
"We will rest here temporarily." Gu Qianyu walked over, and his cold fingertips lightly picked up a strand of Chu Ran's hair, smiling wickedly.
Chu Ran took a small step back, and distanced herself from Gu Qianyu, her eyes frosty. She said, "Got it."
Gu Qianyu put his empty hand down, still smiling, he asked, "Are you hungry?"
Gu Qianyu continued, "Do you remember what you did for Ben Wang when we were in that small courtyard?"
How could Chu Ran forget.
Gu Qianyu then grabbed Chu Ran's wrist tightly and pulled her into the house. The house was very simple, but it was also neat and clean.
Gu Qianyu asked Chu Ran to sit next to him, and then pushed the braised fish on the table in front of Chu Ran. He said: "Ben Wang wants to eat fish and meat."
In front of Gu Qianyu, Chu Ran had very good patience. She remembered how she made Gu Qianyu gradually let down his defenses and how she escaped. The things she remembered, Gu Qianyu did not forget at all.
Without a word, Chu Ran took the fine chopsticks and focused on picking the fishbone.
Gu Qianyu didn't eat the side dishes or drink, but just looked at her. Chu Ran put the deboned fish into Gu Qianyu's bowl.
"Ben Wang remembers, you were also this well-behaved at that time." Gu Qianyu looked at the tender fish in the bowl and smiled extremely coldly.
Chu Ran poured a glass of wine for Gu Qianyu, poured herself another glass, and drank it all in one go. The hot wine rolled into her abdomen from her throat, making her face a little red.
Gu Qianyu poured the drink on the ground and then played with the cup in his hand. He said, "Ben Wang won't let you run away this time."
Chu Ran pursed her lips without saying anything, but her eyes darkened. Gu Qianyu picked up a piece of fish, then put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. After a while, he said, "Chu Ran, if Ben Wang exchanges you for the throne, do you think he will agree?"
"I don't know." Chu Ran said.
"It's not that you don't know, you are just afraid that he will give you up."
"Without him, I would have died a long time ago. If he had to abandon me, that would be a kindness I should return."
Gu Qianyu slowly clenched his fists. Looking at Chu Ran, there was an unknown fire bursting in his heart. For Chu Ran, it was because of Gu Xian that she was alive. Gu Xian was nasty, others don't know, but he knows. Where can Gu Xian be better than him, why can Gu Xian get Chu Ran's life and death?
Gu Qianyu pulled out a smile, it was so gloomy that there seemed to be violent storms brewing between his eyebrows. He suppressed his voice and said, "Do you think he will really save you?"
Chu Ran whispered: "I'm waiting for him."
Gu Qianyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. He stared at her coldly: "Let's make a bet to see if you are important or the throne is more important. If you lose, you will follow me for the rest of your life, no matter where you are."
