44. Sleepless Nights

It was late at night, and there was silence all around.

Gao Ran didn't plan to go to bed for a long time, and always sat alone in front of the candle, quietly looking at the candle flame that made a "sizzling" sound from time to time, motionless - only the eyes staring at the candle flame blinked from time to time.

At this moment, she is concentrating on holding an "emergency meeting" with herself......

"Although I originally planned to support Yun Jie and help him grow his power, so as to cultivate an extra layer of protection for myself...... However, now it seems that this Yun Jie obviously thinks more long-term than me! Moreover, there is one thing that he thinks is different from mine! I have no choice, but even if he has a choice, he still chooses that 'marriage is something he must do in his life'...... Alas, a headache!"

Thinking like this, Gao Ran unconsciously raised his hand and stroked his forehead.

"But think about it from his point of view...... If the premise of his belief that 'marriage is a must-do' is considered, then it is quite reasonable for him to think that way...... Even, it can be said that it is indeed his best choice at the moment!"

Gao Ran tried to put aside his position first and tried to think from Yun Jie's point of view......

She found that even if she helped Yun Jie cultivate his power and grow it to the point where he could compete with the imperial court, the final result might not be as she wished......

Because, first of all, Yun Jie didn't have the slightest idea of seizing the country - even if he was forced to resist, he still didn't want to replace Yun Zhen and become the heir to the throne.

This can be seen from Yun Jie's final choice - he didn't want to compete with Yun Zhen for the throne from beginning to end! he just wanted to protect himself.

And, in addition to the fact that "Yun Jie has no interest in imperial power", there is another point that gives Gao Ran a headache......

This Yun Jie turned out to be a person who took "male marriage" as a matter of course!

If it weren't for that, he would never have used Gao Ran's brain!

Gao Ran just stood in Yun Jie's position and tried to think a little longer, so that he could easily understand the essential motivation of his idea!

If Yun Jie wants to protect himself, first of all, he must strengthen his own power!

Only if the power you have is strong enough, you will not be persecuted lightly.

However, because of his special status, even if he can protect his personal safety...... But, what will he do when he succeeds to the throne?!

At that time, his fate will be nothing more than two kinds:

One is that he will be ordered by Yun Zhen to marry another country because his power is not strong enough-this is the fate of being an "ordinary prince". What's more, he is Yun Zhen's twin brother, so he can't stay in Yun Xiangguo;

And the other is that because his own power is too strong, strong enough to make Yun Zhen jealous and dare not move his Cheng dù lightly, but if that is the case, the most direct consequence of the will be - he can only choose to be celibate!

Because, his too strong will make no woman in the world dare to marry him lightly.

If anyone dares to marry him, then the woman herself, and her entire family, will inevitably suffer from the disaster of blood and light because of him.

Let's ask, how could a high-ranking emperor let go of anyone who might threaten his country?!

If Yun Jie really becomes so powerful in the future, no matter whether he is interested in Jiangshan or not, he will undoubtedly become Yun Zhen's biggest threat!

In this way, no matter what the power of the wife's family he marries in the future is, it is not a good thing for Yun Zhen - because, the worst thing, as long as he marries, he will have one more possibility that he may have his own offspring!

And such a possibility, for Yun Zhen, is terrifying!

Isn't it terrifying that a "threat" that already exists in Zài may be continued by his heirs?!

That kind of scene is probably similar to the current "collateral struggle for power" in the royal family......

If he really succeeds to the throne, how will he tolerate "history" repeating itself again......?

Originally, Gao Ran's idea was: if Yun Jie has the heart to compete for the position, then she will conditionally form an alliance with him to help him grow his power and be a strong backing force for him to compete for the position; Don't dare to touch her.

But, who would have thought, but in the end, she missed a little bit - this Yun Jie actually wanted to get married!

"You said that you, just like Qiu Yueze, would......n't it be good to be single?! You said you, why don't you think about it so much?!"

Although he complained like this, in his heart, he still had to try to convince himself to accept Yun Jie's values - he just took it for granted that "men should marry".

If such an idea hadn't become an extremely deep-rooted existence in Yun Jie's thoughts, how could he choose the option of "marrying" when he could choose the option of "getting the life he wants without marrying"?!

Gao Ran naturally understood that he would choose her, except because she was indeed his best choice at the moment - whether it was her personally or the forces behind her - whether it was Qiu Yueze or the Gao family......

In addition to this reason, I am afraid that the more important reason is that he knows that she is not interested in him, so even after getting married, she should not restrict him ......

Moreover, marrying Gao Ran, Yun Jie does not have to marry far from another country.

What's more, marrying Gao Ran, not only does he not have to leave Yunxiang Kingdom, but after marriage, he can continue to live freely, and even, he can live more comfortably than his previous life - because there is no royal bondage.

What's more, if they can get married, the worst impact on Gao Ran will be that she has to cut off relations with the Gao family at most. However, with the power of the Gao family alone, Lang Yunzhen did not dare to move the Gao family lightly!

Therefore, Yun Jie's choice of Gao Ran as his wife will indeed be much less guilty than his choice of others......

"Ahh

Gao Ran let out a long sigh with some heaviness.

She thought about her original plan, and then tried to think about it from Yun Jie's standpoint......

found that to help Yun Jie strengthen his own power, they thought of going together!

However, after that, they had a disagreement: Gao Ran planned to conditionally support Yun Jie, so that his power could be infinitely close to Qiu Yueze - but at the cost that he could only be single in the future, while Yun Jie was thinking that on the premise of "marrying", he would find a wife who was most suitable for him at that time, and who was least likely to be implicated and persecuted because of him.

"From my point of view, I would love to make him another partner of mine, but he sees me as the most suitable 'partner' who can help him achieve the 'marriage' that he must do in his life...... He actually used me as a 'stepping stone' to the fulfillment of his own life......!

With his thoughts almost cleared, Gao Ran raised his hand again and stroked his forehead.

Once again, she felt a faint headache!

Although, she can't agree with Yun Jie's idea that "getting married is a matter of course", but ......

"Since he wants to use me to 'complete' his own life, why don't I use him more fully in turn?!"

Gao Ran hasn't forgotten jì, whether she wants to or not, she has to marry a third husband before she is thirty years old!

Anyway, no matter who you marry in the end, you don't necessarily have a relationship with them......

"In this case, instead of being forced to marry by the government in the end, it is better to start actively looking for a husband who can help you now!

I finally thought about it, and the mood that I had been entangled and contradictory for a long time finally calmed down......

It's a lot easier all of a sudden!

Gao Ran finally made up her mind, she decided to negotiate with Yun Jie conditionally about their family affairs!

"Oh, I can't imagine that I will also have a day when I have to agree to marry someone and be a fake couple!"

Gao Ran, who began to grind and was about to write the so-called "prenuptial agreement" on the white silk, couldn't help but mock himself......
