Gao Ran shook off the people who were following her and took a shortcut to reach the Cloud Pavilion in the shortest time. After showing the jade pendant, he followed the shopkeeper to the only private room on the top floor. Outside the private room, there is a wide, unobstructed corridor. - Obviously, this design is clearly to prevent bad actors from trying to get close to the private room to eavesdrop on secrets. And without a sheltered building, it will naturally be difficult to approach the private room unconsciously. Besides, if you want to hide on the roof without being noticed, it is not something that the idle can do.

It can be seen that at least where Yun Jie can be guarded, he is obviously guarding against it as little as possible.

Xiao Er led Gao Ran to the door of the private room and retreated by himself. After Gao Ranmu saw him go away, he pushed open the door and walked in. I found that there was no one in the room, but there was a pot of freshly brewed hot tea on the coffee table, and the heat rose from the spout.

After standing still and taking a long breath, Gao Ran leisurely walked to the table and sat down, pouring himself a drink.

"Huh?"

At first, Gao Ran had suspicions when she smelled the aroma, but after she tasted it, she was even more sure of her guess: Yun Jie really had a lot of information about her, and he even knew what flavor of tea and soup she liked. Whether it is the variety of tea, or the intensity and temperature of the tea soup, he has just the right grasp. - It happens to be what she likes, not the so-called "best" in the mouth of the public.

"Come out. Being able to brew the tea so well - just to my liking, you really have the right amount of time to count. Could it be that the smell that I suddenly smelled when I walked only one street away from the Cloud Pavilion and never went far before I entered the Cloud Pavilion was the person you specially sent to 'greet' me?

But there was still no movement in the private room.

Gao Ran frowned, got up with some dissatisfaction and walked straight to the only couch in the inner room, without taking off his boots, he stepped on the couch directly, walked to the side against the wall, and knocked the wall that looked flawless at first glance without hesitation, and warned impatiently: "I'll count three times, if you don't come out again, I won't see you again in the future!"

Who would have thought, as soon as Gao Ran's words came out, she hadn't even started counting, there was movement on the other side of the stone wall immediately, and after a while, there was a sound behind the screen placed next to the couch, Yun Jie walked out of the stone door behind the screen, bypassed the screen and walked to Gao Ran, who was still leaning against the wall and standing on the couch with his hands and arms in front of him.

"How do you know I'm there?" Yun Jie didn't mind that Gao Ran actually stepped on his couch with his shoes on, but he was extremely curious about how she could know so well where he was at the time? He was very sure: Gao Ran must not have guessed that the wall might be the entrance to the secret room, but was very sure that the other side of the wall was exactly where he was at that time. She knocked on the wall to speak to him, not to tempt.

"Because I smell you. Although there is still the smell of one person on this roof, there is only one person in this house except me. Moreover, the smell of this man was the same as that of the person with the strongest smell left on all the utensils in the whole room. In this way, you don't need to think about it to know that the person who is still in the house at this moment must be the owner of this room. - It's not you, who else could it be?

"Still, you're interested. If you come out later, then I'll just be rude. ”

After saying that, Gao Ran knocked on the wall behind him meaningfully, and continued: "I'm too lazy to find any secret room entrance. Anyway, knowing that you are standing behind this wall, then I can just destroy this wall?—— there is not only one way to find someone...... While my approach may be rude, it's certainly the most efficient. And as for the possible losses...... Well, that's just how you deserve it. ”

The implication was that Gao Ran had no intention of taking responsibility for her destruction—if she did.

"Hmm-" Yun Jie couldn't help but nod when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he deliberately pretended to be frightened, and then he bowed to Gao Ran very seriously, and echoed her: "It's a mistake, please Miss must raise your noble hand." ”

"Heh," Gao Ran sneered, "It seems that I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have trained your guts? You even dare to provoke me to my face? Are you not afraid that I will poison you directly on a whim?"

"Hehe," Yun Jie smiled disapprerovingly: "Since you are willing to come, it means that I am still useful to you." In that case, how can you be willing to poison me now?"

"If you know why I'm here, why do you hide in a secret room and refuse to come out to see me?

"I just want to reconfirm if our relationship can still be the same?" When he said this, Yun Jie had put away his previous joke and became serious.

But when Gao Ran heard this, he smiled with relief, "Okay, I was worried that I was too ruthless and would hurt you...... Since you are also afraid of being implicated, then I don't have to feel any more guilty about you. So, I don't know how the four princes want to define our relationship now? ”

As he spoke, Gao Ran's eyes flashed with some expectation when he looked at Yun Jie.

"What were you expecting?"

"Huh?" Gao Ran blinked his eyes and immediately denied it, "No!"

But then, she changed her tune and said, "Uh...... Also, not really without ...... If there is really an expectation, it is also expecting a surprise. If you're so reasonable, you're not going to disappoint me, are you?"

Gao Ran blinked his eyes twice, and his intention to please couldn't be more obvious.

"Hmm. Don't worry, I won't regret my marriage. ”

When Gao Ran heard this, he immediately turned cold. Yun Jie's harmless smiling face at this time, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that he was very underbeaten. Dare to love him, he was playing tricks on her before?!

"Since you don't plan to repent of your marriage, then why did you deliberately say that you need to reconsider your relationship with me? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise, you'll have to pay a 'price' for tricking me!" Gao Ran deliberately bit the word "price" heavily, as if he wanted to gnaw Yun Jie's bones directly and chew them in front of him.

Yun Jie couldn't help but snort, he finally knew that Gao Ran was serious this time.

"Don't be angry, we have something to say. I'm not kidding, let's get down to business. Yun Jie immediately took the initiative to make peace.

With that, he turned around and went to sit down at the coffee table outside.

Gao Ran stepped on his heels and sat down next to him.

"Say, what's the point of seeing me in such a hurry?"

"Father, his time is running out......"

didn't think that Yun Jie's opening remarks were indeed something Gao Ran had never expected. However, she was not surprised: after all, human life is in heaven, and even a person as proficient in medical science as she can only try to ensure that if she must die, at least she can die as easily as possible, but after all, she is unable to decide the exact date of her death by other means of death than suicide.

"Ahem. Gao Ran coughed lightly, trying to organize the language, trying to be as tactful as possible. But after thinking about it, I still feel that it is better to be simple and direct.

So, she really made her mean to Yun Jie straightforwardly: "Although I also thought that after the death of Emperor Yun, the Yun clan will definitely be in chaos. With Yun Zhen's current prestige, it is far from enough to command all the branches in your Yun clan - especially the princes of the most powerful side branches, and now Yun Zhen can't dominate them at all. But I really didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so coincidentally......"

Speaking of this, Gao Ran deliberately raised his eyes to watch the changes in Yun Jie's eyes at this time, and asked him, "Presumably few people know about this matter at present, right? Then you told me this, do you want to ask me to help you treat Yun Huang so that you can delay it for a while? Or do you already have other plans?"

Yun Jie replied with a little melancholy: "I know my father's body, even if your medical skills are high, it will be in vain, even if you can delay it for a few more days, but what is the difference between that and only one day left?"

"It's so serious? I thought I would live for a few months at most if I wasn't treated. If that's the case, then if I can help him live for at least another year, a lot of things may be true...... But if it is true that there is only one day left to live as you say, then it really makes not much difference between saving and not saving.

"But, in that case, you must have had other plans for asking me to come, but I've just returned, so you won't have counted me from the beginning that I'll be back at this time so coincidentally. So, you won't be in your plan to include me from the beginning. So, what is your intention in asking me to come in such a hurry?"

Yun Jie got up suddenly, bowed to Gao Ran very solemnly, and begged, "Please help me." ”

"Help?"

Yun Jie patiently explained: "Although I don't know when you will come back, I know that you will come back sooner or later before you get rid of the identity of 'Miss High School'." What's more, your father is still in the Gao family, so you can't ignore him. ”

"Heh, you've checked it carefully enough. Since entering the room and drinking that tea, Gao Ran is no longer surprised by the fact that Yun Jie's information about her is almost intrivial, but he still inevitably wants to ridicule him a little unpleasantly.

But she only expressed a slight dissatisfaction with this reaction, but it made Yun Jie understand that she should already know how likely he understood her.

In this case, Yun Jie stopped beating around the bush and directly explained his thoughts: "I know, you don't care who finally owns Yunxiang's country, but I am different, I am the fourth prince, whether I intend to fight for the country or not, I have the responsibility to prevent the country from falling into the hands of others, let alone someone with a foreign surname?"

"Do you mean that even if you have no intention of setting the throne, you must support Yun Zhen to sit on the throne? Moreover, your 'must' is not so much your so-called 'responsibility', but rather that you yourself think you have this responsibility, and you want to do it, right?"

But without waiting for Yun Jie to reply, Gao Ran glanced at him indifferently, turned to look away, and continued: "Yun Jie, since you basically know everything you can find out about me, then you should know that in my opinion, there is no difference between your request and Fu Wenxuan's request. I will not choose to help anyone because of which of you is stronger, I will only choose who to help because I see which of you is better able to help me achieve my goals. - If you have a lot of power, you may not be able to help me, and if you are small, you will not necessarily be able to restrain and hinder me. What's more, it's hard for both of you to say who will have the absolute upper hand......"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Heh, it's not interesting, it's just a casual talk. If you don't understand it, forget about it. Gao Ran deliberately quipped. But then, she simply took the opportunity to propose to Yun Jie: "However, since you have this intention, then I might as well look at the marriage contract with you first, and give you a chance to win me over......

Gao Ran's deliberate mention of the "marriage contract" did immediately stir up Yun Jie's sensitive nerves as she expected. She knew that Yun Jie would definitely be limited by the ideological limitations of the environment he was in, and would never be like her, who completely ignored the so-called "influence" and "significance" of "marriage events" on her life, and would naively think that "no matter how much she ignores power, she will never ignore her marriage events and her lifelong happiness." And it was easy to think wishfully that Gao Ran would not easily choose to be his enemy—just because they still had a marriage contract, and she did not take the initiative to break the marriage contract.
