363. Private Chat
After the luncheon, before the second half of the opera performance, there is a leisure time for nearly an hour, where guests can take a short break in the guest room or hang out in the Imperial Garden. Yun Zhen took the opportunity to leave temporarily under the pretext of going back to the dormitory to rest for a while, and asked his cronies to quietly lead Gao Ran to his dormitory through the secret passage to meet him alone.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me? Even if I am inconspicuous, it will still arouse suspicion if I suddenly disappear for too long. So I can't stay here for too long. You'd better have something to say. ”
Although Gao Ran had expected that Yun Zhen would find an opportunity to chat with her privately sooner or later. But he didn't expect that he would pick this time. If it weren't for his own impatience, it would have been that the result of the previous discussion between the five of them upstairs was not his favor, forcing him to take precautions early, so he took the risk of taking her here for a private chat.
"Kaiwen has already told me, he has looked for you......"
"Oh?"
Gao Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Yun Zhen looked at her, and she immediately understood the version of the story he knew: it turned out that what she asked Yu Qiwen to convey and what she needed him to cooperate with Yun Jie in private, Yu Qiwen was directly on himself. Not only did he truthfully convey Gao Ran's request, but he also tampered with the fact that she met Yun Jie in private to mean that he had met her in private. That's when I negotiated with her. As for Yun Jie, I'm afraid that Yun Zhen doesn't even know that he and her have known each other—— let alone An Yujie, who has been deliberately concealed by Yun Zhen since she and Yu Qiwen met.
Gao Ran didn't expect Yu Qiwen to hide the matter between her and Yun Jie from Yun Zhen so thoroughly. It's no wonder that he would come to the table with Yun Jie to share a table with her before, and he also sat between them, and Yun Jie always took a lot of care of him...... It turned out that he thought that sooner or later Yun Zhen would see that they were acquainted, so he specially acted such a play under Yun Zhen's nose, so that he would mistakenly think that they had just met today - they met through Qiwen's introduction.
Thinking about it at this time, Gao Ran was really a little glad that when she was at the same table with An Yujie before, there was almost no eye contact between her and Yun Jie due to the scene they were in at the time and Yu Qiwen was sandwiched in the middle, and when An Yujie asked if they had known each other for a long time, they were also silent. - If it weren't for that, I'm afraid An Yujie would definitely see the flaws.
Even if she deliberately got confirmation from Yun Zhen afterwards, and learned that Gao Ran and Yu Qiwen had already known each other, and even learned about her and Yu Qiwen's general past by the way, as long as An Yujie didn't see the flaws, then Gao Ran didn't need to worry about what An Yujie and Yun Zhen had to compare with each other because of necessity in the future, but instead revealed what Yu Qiwen deliberately concealed about Yun Jie.
After feeling a little relieved in his heart, Gao Ran was obviously more vigilant than before, for fear that he would be careless again. She couldn't afford to be as negligent as she had been this time. - Especially at this time, there are only two people, she and Yun Zhen, Yu Qiwen can't stop her from committing any irreparable unintentional mistakes in time.
"So, what do you mean?
"I can promise you that as long as the Fu family doesn't act rashly, I won't touch them...... I can live peacefully with them for your sake. But I can't give you the freedom you want! You have to stay with me! By now, you should know what I want for you. ”
"For me, heh, Yun Zhen, you really dare to say it. Don't put the blame on me!" Gao Ran glanced at Yun Zhen with disdain, "You'd better be clear about your current situation. It's not that I'm begging you now, but that you do need me to help you stabilize them. If it weren't for my help, it would take time to completely defeat your Yun Clan, but it would be easy to get rid of you, the new emperor. It's better to say, if you don't know how to do it, then you won't have to do it with the Fu family or other people in your Yun clan, I can personally give you a ride now—— don't think that I don't have a backup plan, so you have to do it." ”
While speaking, while Yun Zhen was defenseless, Gao Ran had already come to his eyes, and the two of them were separated by the tea table between the seats, but their faces were only a finger away.
Gao Ran deliberately kept this distance, and after counting five times silently in his heart, Yun Zhen began to feel a little dizzy.
With the heartbeat that had not yet had time to calm down and was instantly accelerated by Gao Ran's sudden approach, Yun Zhen realized that his dizziness at the moment should be a sign of poisoning.
"As long as you don't embarrass the Gao family, I have my own way to force the Gao family to let me go, and I will have nothing to do with the Gao family from now on. Of course, it has nothing to do with you. As long as you agree, I will help you stabilize the Fu family. In the future, as long as you are willing to live together peacefully, I will never take sides with any of you. And if one party breaches the boundary first, then I will definitely help the party who abides by the contract to completely eradicate the other party and never suffer from future troubles. ”
Yun Zhen barely held on to the armrest of the chair, trying to support himself from falling, but at the same time, he looked at Gao Ran in disbelief and asked, "How is it possible that you were poisoned?"
"How is it impossible? Do you think I can't poison you, or do you think I can't do it so easily? Heh, are you looking at me in disbelief, are you too confident in yourself, or are you underestimating my abilities?"
As he spoke, Gao Ran looked at him with a slight provocation. I saw that Yun Zhen's face had obviously turned a lot paler, and his eyes that looked at her flashed a trace of fluctuation, but after all, he just looked at her wordlessly.
Gao Ran looked back at him with some incomprehension, and asked bluntly, "Are you so devastated? I just did what I would have taken for granted, as for making you so surprised? so unexpected that you couldn't even accept it?"—what she said was the feeling that Yun Zhen presented in front of her at this time.
But as soon as the words were spoken, Gao Ran immediately turned to the matter. For fear that if she was one step too late, she would have to compete head-on with Yun Zhen's so-called "love". If that's the case, then it's troublesome: in her opinion, arguing with Yun Zhen about his so-called "love" will only be a chicken and a duck, and what the two say is definitely not the same thing, and they will never be able to reach a real consensus. And such meaningless entanglements and arguments will only be harmful to Gao Ran, it is a waste of time and energy for her, and it will bring endless disasters. - This kind of harm is not beneficial, unless she is stupid, she must not even give it the possibility of "starting"!
"Let me tell you the truth, my blood is not only the source of all poisons, but it is also the source of all poisons. As long as I want, I can force the poison out of my body at any time and volatilize it in the air.
"Lucky for you, this time I just want to teach you a lesson, so that you can remember it for a long time, and I don't intend to kill you completely, so the concentration of the poison I forced out is very low.
"Although you have been poisoned, you will not be able to die for a while. But I have to warn you that the poison you have, the real power of it, is not that its poison is something that only I can solve in this world—although it is, but that it is a living thing in its own right. I mean, after you are poisoned, the poison will double in your body in one day, and in another day, it will be tripled...... The longer it drags on, the exponential acceleration of its toxic growth. No matter how high your martial arts are and how deep your internal strength is, within three days, you will definitely die. And I am the only one in the world who can cure this poison.
"This is not a poison that can be solved by being familiar with toxicology, it is a poison that is unique to each of our Medicine Valley disciples and matches our respective bodies. In different people's bodies, the toxicity of the final precipitation of this poison is different, and the only thing that can cure this poison is the blood that nourishes it.
"Not only that, because this poison is originally parasitic in the human body, and it nourishes its own living creature by consuming the life of the host, so as long as you die, then this poison will die with it and disappear completely. Therefore, after you die, no one can determine the true cause of your death. - However, even if you are not dead, the toxicity of this poison cannot be tested unless you are a disciple of this sect. - Because only the unique internal force of this sect can induce this poison to show its toxicity.
"And if you can't test the toxicity, and you can't test the cause of death after you die, then even if your henchmen are loyal to you, I'm afraid you can't ignore Yunxiang's country, right?
Gao Ran smiled slyly, then turned cold again, and finally warned:
"You only have three days to think about it. If you don't agree to my request within three days, I don't mind waiting for you to go and then set up a new emperor to serve me.
"I'd like to see if you can survive three days without dying, or if I can keep your Yun clan firmly in control as I said?
"Don't think that you're going to collapse without this Yunxiang. You just happen to have this identity, but this identity doesn't have to be you. And what can really affect the stability of the country is this identity and the common beliefs of all the subjects of Yunxiang that it carries, not you as a person.
"So, as long as there is the right person to take on this identity, then even if that person is not you, it can be someone else. You're not my only choice. - Never. ”
After speaking, Gao Ran pretended to leave first.
But he didn't take two steps, but he suddenly stopped, and deliberately turned around to remind Yun Zhen: "I almost forgot...... Don't say I didn't warn you, you're struggling to walk right now. If I'm right, another hour you'll be bedridden. Hehe, in this way, if only I give 'those people' a chance to see with their own eyes how you suddenly look ill...... Then even if the Fu family will not dare to act rashly because of my existence, most of the princes in your clan who don't know about it should take action tonight at the latest. Well...... When the time comes, I'll choose the best one from among them to replace you, and it won't be a problem......"
After speaking, Gao Ran turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
Hearing Yun Zhen's weak shout, Gao Ran didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth had risen slightly.
"What?" Gao Ran asked knowingly.
"Good. I promise you. ”
"Promise me what?" Gao Ran deliberately continued to ask knowingly.
"Promise...... I promised to live peacefully with the Fu family. I promise to set you free!"
Gao Ran listened, then turned around with satisfaction and walked in front of Yun Zhen. Picking up one of his hands, she took out the dagger from her bosom, cut one of his fingers, and waited for the blood to start flowing out before she pressed the vein of Yun Zhen's wrist, and forced the toxin out of the cut wound. This small but deep wound flowed out of nearly a bowl of blood, and Gao Ran finally took the credit, and directly shook off his hand and asked him to stop the bleeding by himself.
"Didn't you say that only your blood can detoxify?"
"This poison has not yet penetrated into the bone marrow, as long as you exercise it, you can force it out. It's just that even so, it can only be forced out with the unique internal strength of our medical valley. Therefore, if there are other fellow disciples at this time, then this poison can still be cured......"
"You lied to me!"
"No, I didn't lie to you, I just didn't finish my sentence. Besides, here and now, besides me, is there a second disciple of the Medicine Valley? Moreover, in another hour, after this poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, then it will really only be solved by my blood. So, even if you know the truth, in the end, only I can solve it. Gao Ran confessed generously and proudly.
Before leaving, Gao Ran only reminded one last sentence: "You'd better remember your promise, otherwise I will definitely make your life worse than death." You can't stop me. ”
