After the morning meal, there is an interval of nearly three hours before the start of the luncheon. In this gap, Yun Zhen led everyone to another venue with a stage to watch the play.

But this time, Yu Ying, Gao Lan, Fu Tong, and the prince who was sitting next to Fu Tong before, the four of them, followed Yun Zhen to the upstairs to take a seat, and the rest sat downstairs "casually".

Gao Ran naturally chose the most corner and the most inconspicuous position to sit down. But as soon as she sat down, Yun Jie and Yu Qiwen also sat down next to her and shared a table with her.

"Hey, you want to harm me! One is the prince and the other is the prime minister, are you sitting next to me trying to expose me to people?"

"Don't worry, the real ones to watch out for are now upstairs, and these people downstairs are just thinking about making friends with us...... Sitting with you, not only will it not expose you, but it will also lend you to distract them from their hospitality. In this way, we can also be happy and quiet. Yu Qiwen replied first. Yun Jie closed his mouth in amusement.

When Gao Ran heard this, he unconsciously glanced at Yun Jie, and saw that he was slightly embarrassed, so he knew that he still had some scruples about Qiwen. The real intention of Qiwen to sit between them just now one step ahead of Yun Jie and sit next to her is naturally self-evident.

She smiled unconsciously, and said perfunctorily indifferently: "Then whatever." They don't want to mess with me anyway. If you think this will help you reject them, then sit as you like. But first, don't make a noise with me, and don't talk to me if you're fine. I don't want to arouse suspicion, and I don't want your dreams to be ruined. Alas—I got up before dawn, and I had eaten so much just now that I was so sleepy that I couldn't do it now...... No, I'll have to sleep first......"

After that, Gao Ran lay directly on the table without any image, ready to take a nap on the spot to make up for sleep.

But no sooner had she closed her eyes than she heard two more men coming, and they sat down opposite her and on the other side of her.

"Is there a mistake?!again?"

She raised her eyes, not at all surprised at who it was. In fact, even if she didn't have to think about it, just by the smell on their bodies, the specific movements of everyone present, as long as Gao Ran wanted to know, she could instantly follow the smell to find out.

"Why? They are allowed to use you, but we are not allowed to follow suit?"

"Annoying! Whatever you want! However, if you sit like this, even if I don't sit here, they won't dare to take the initiative to disturb you anymore. Four of the six most influential people of all the people downstairs are now gathered. At this table, apart from me, who has no eyesight and still stays here, who else would dare to come here so uninteresting?—— although it is clear that I am the first to sit here......"

Fu Wenxuan was about to reply, but was stopped by Gao Ran first, but instead of making persistent efforts to refute him, she took the initiative to explain to Fu Wenxuan in front of everyone: "By the way, I forgot to tell you before, if you asked me to bring it to Yu'er, I didn't have a chance to bring it." Today is also the first time I have seen her since I returned to Beijing. So, if you feel that there is still a need to say those things, then you might as well take this opportunity to tell her directly in front of her. ”

When Fu Wenxuan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Oh, Wen Xuan has something to say to me, what's the matter?"

Fu Wenxuan chuckled, shifted his gaze from Gao Ran to An Yujie beside him, looked into her eyes, and replied softly: "It's okay." ”

But An Yujie looked at Fu Wenxuan's eyes as gently as before, but the original harmony on her face gradually faded, and her smile unconsciously retracted.

She paused, quickly retracted her thoughts, turned to look at the other two sitting across from her, and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"

No one spoke. An Yujie looked around at the four people, and then replied to herself: "It turns out that I am the only one who doesn't know......"

An Yujie's reaction, Yun Jie and Yu Qiwen had already expected, but Gao Ran and Fu Wenxuan only knew because of this: it turned out that Yun Zhen had not let An Yujie know about the stakes between Gao Ran and the Yun family, not to mention that Yu Qiwen deliberately concealed the relationship between Gao Ran and Yun Jie who even Yun Zhen himself did not know.

Looking at An Yujie, who was kept in the dark by Yun Zhen but was still so willing, Gao Ran suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he decided to take this opportunity to remind her one last time:

"Yu'er, you should know that with your current status, no matter whether the An family will eventually fall into your hands, Yun Zhen will not be able to marry you. Even if he is willing, the An family members who support you will not be willing. - What family would be willing to let their 'head of the family' marry instead of marrying someone?—— but this is a question of whether the power of the entire family belongs to another force, or is only an alliance with another force!

"Yun Zhen has an alliance with your An family, he can marry other people in your An family, but he just can't marry you. And you, since you are the 'head of the family' they support, then you are also destined to marry other people in the royal family, but you can't marry Emperor Yun himself.

"Yu'er, do you understand what I mean, this is the situation, the fate between you and Yun Zhen has been predestined from the beginning, and it is not something that you can change by yourself. What's more, Yun Zhen will never give up his country. In this way, if you are no longer the 'head of the house', then you can no longer be by his side, but if you want to stay by his side, then you must be the 'head of the house'—— but here is the problem: if you are the 'head of the house', then you are destined to never marry him, and he will never marry you!

"This is the fate between you. Do you really want to stay attached to him? Are you really just satisfied with being by his side, or are you still delusional about the impossible?

"Yu'er, why are you doing this?"

"Ran, do you want to persuade me to leave?"

Gao Ran knew that An Yujie probably put her and Fu Wenxuan in the same category, so she asked this question.

"No, I just don't want to see you continue to give yourself pain. But if you insist on doing so, it's your own choice. I have no right to interfere and I don't want to. I just did the last thing I could do for you as a 'friend'. As for the rest, there's nothing I can do. Of course, no matter what you choose, I will respect your choice, even if I may not necessarily support you. ”

As he spoke, Gao Ran reached out and took two teacups, put them in front of himself and An Yujie beside him, and then poured seven points full of tea each. She raised her cup and said to An Yujie: "No matter what, I bless you." Perhaps, for the last time......"

An Yujie was silent for a moment, but still raised the teacup, touched the cup lightly with Gao Ran, and drank it all.

Gao Ran then drank his cup as well. Then, he turned to the other three people present and said, "I'm sleepy, sleep for a while, you are free." ”

After that, she returned to the original position when she slept on her stomach, and soon really fell into a light sleep.

At the same time, the other two of the six most influential people downstairs mentioned by Gao Ran earlier, Gao Qi and Gao Yu, sat in the front row. That way, the two of them can sit side by side. And the other people around them, even if they wanted to sit next to them, were still separated from them by a walkway. - Even between themselves, there is a tea table that is only large enough for two people.

But the two only sat next to each other with a tacit understanding, but neither of them intended to talk to each other. Moreover, they seem to have long been accustomed to getting along with each other like this.

Once everyone was seated, the play began quickly.

The drama on the stage was wonderful, and the shouts of "good" from the audience sounded frequently, but the six people downstairs and the five people upstairs just watched quietly. I don't know, are they playing in the stands, or are they "playing" in the stands?

Gao Ran, on the other hand, has already fallen asleep. Moreover, the louder the shouting "good", the more she slept soundly.

It's just that she slept really long this night...... From time to time, he suddenly straightened up, then changed his position, and continued to fall asleep on the table.

The first two times, she got up so suddenly and opened her eyes slightly that the four people sitting at the table with her instantly turned their eyes on her, but each time before they could ask what was going on, she changed her position and continued to sleep. After repeating this twice, even though the four of them still did not relax their vigilance around them, they were already immune to Gao Ran's sudden rise, and even automatically ignored any sudden movements of her.

"Ahh............h Oops, it's so sour......"

"Heh, you woke up in time......" Yu Qiwen, who was sitting next to her, sneered in a low voice. Then he got up and left.

Yun Jie then got up, but didn't speak to Gao Ran, and left with Yu Qiwen.

Gao Ran just watched the two of them take a step forward with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and then said with a little excitement: "It's good, I can eat again." ”

It turned out that it was almost lunchtime at this time. The play was over, and everyone left the stage one after another, ready to return to the banquet hall for dinner.

"Then I'll go first. ”

While everyone else was busy leaving with the crowd, Gao Ran casually said goodbye to Fu Wenxuan and An Yujie, who had not yet gotten up to leave, and then took the first step by himself. The whole time, she didn't look at them.

Although everyone was restrained and did not make loud noises when they left the scene, after all, they were still affected by the previous opera that lasted for nearly three hours, and most of them would inevitably whisper a few words to each other with the people close to them, mostly talking about the play just now. In addition, everyone is leaving the scene. This makes the noise around actually not small.

In such a noisy venue, unless she was close to Gao Ran, no matter how good her ears were, it would be difficult to hear her quick goodbye to the two of them in a thin voice just now.

Moreover, after Gao Ran got up until she left, she did not make any eye contact with the two of them.

Therefore, even if the others occasionally glanced at their table in a hurry, they would not be suspicious of the possible relationship between Gao Ran and them. After all, Gao Ran had been sleeping the whole time since the four of them had all sat down at that table, and when she woke up, she got up and left on her own. When everyone saw such a scene, at most, they would only think: Gao Ran is too blind to see! The four of them sat there, obviously they had something to talk about in private, but she had to sleep there, and she didn't know how to give them the place...... It's really stupid!
