Marry a Duke

Gao Mian is a stubborn person. He said that if it is something ordered by the Duke, he must carry it out to the end unless he dies.

Fu Ran was completely speechless.

She couldn't really let Gao Mian die.

So, he was allowed to follow, but he had to follow behind Yu Di. Gao Mian had no objection to this.

Fu Ran was led to the flower hall. There were several reception rooms in the *** Mansion, and guests were met in different reception rooms according to their status and position.

The Dragon Pattern Hall was for important and powerful officials in the court, the Phoenix Hall was for the female relatives of the aristocratic families, and male guests of ordinary status could only meet their husbands in the Huizi Hall.

The women of ordinary status met the emperor in the flower hall.

Fu Ran was taken to the flower hall and waited for more than half an hour before *** finally arrived.

With a gorgeous and noble makeup, she looks high and mighty, looking down upon all living beings with arrogance.

"Are you here?" *** walked past her and went straight to the first seat and sat down. "Please sit down."

The tone was light and chilly.

Fu Ran sat down as he was told.

*** took a look at Gaomian and she recognized him.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

She knew very well what kind of life Fu Ran lived in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xuan sent Gao Mian to be by her side to protect her.

From this point of view, Gao Mian is not here to protect Fu Ran, but to keep an eye on the every move of the *** government.

"I have something to discuss with the wife of the Duke of Weiguo. All you outsiders, please leave." *** said.

Gaomian and Yudi were obviously also outsiders.

Yudi was worried, but Gaomian looked calm and motionless.

Fu Ran couldn't help but admire him, he was indeed someone who had seen big scenes.

"Guard Gao, Yudi, please wait outside." Fu Ran said.

The raindrops agreed, but they did not dare to act unruly in front of the lady, in case the lady was in trouble.

Gao Mian originally didn't want to leave, but Fu Ran kept staring at him, so he had to retreat with Yu Di and wait outside the flower hall.

As soon as the person left, *** snorted coldly, but there was still a hint of smile on his face, a sneer.

"It seems that the information I received was wrong. You are not so insignificant in Wei Xuan's heart. He has done a lot for you."

The light flashing in ***'s eyes was somewhat piercing.

She was dissatisfied with Fu Ran's ignorance of the current situation.

All the secret guards she had trained with great effort were killed by her.

"Fu Ran, what can I say about you? You even dared to kill my secret guards."

Fu Ran knew that she would be questioned, and she had already prepared her explanation.

"Damn, this is a misunderstanding. If they had revealed their identities from the beginning, I would have taken the initiative to follow them back to the mansion. But they broke into the mansion of the Duke of Weiguo and kidnapped me. Everything they did was evil. Even if they later revealed their identities as thugs, I'm worried that they are just using a name."

"I would never do such a thing. The two secret guards held me hostage. I was just trying to protect myself and accidentally injured one of them. I never expected that he would lose his life."

When she first knew about it, her hands and whole body were shaking for a long time and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Her pair of delicate hands were now stained with human blood.

"Damn it, don't you know what I am capable of? I am not as big as them, and I don't know any martial arts at all. How can someone who can't even deal with me become a capable secret guard around you? If one day, he is so useless in protecting your safety, won't you get hurt?"

All the blame was placed on the deceased secret guard.

When a person dies, his debts are cleared.

It doesn't matter how much debt you have.

*** narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth eloquently.

"Yes, he deserved to die."

"Thank you for your understanding."

***'s face darkened a little, but his anger had subsided.

"Since you are here, stay in the mansion for a few more days."

"The emperor treated me so well, but Fu Ran didn't dare to accept it. When he left, the Duke specifically told him to return home today."

*** raised her exquisitely painted willow-leaf eyebrows.

"I didn't expect Wei Xuan to have you in his heart. He has done a lot for you."

Fu Ran was slightly stunned.

*** mentioned it several times, saying that Wei Xuan did a lot for her.

But what did Wei Xuan do for her?

"Yes." Fu Ran couldn't deny it, so he agreed directly, "The Duke treated me well and never treated me badly because of my status."

"He destroyed several of my strongholds, causing me to suffer heavy losses. Fu Ran, if you still want the Duke of Wei to live well in this world, then you should listen to me. Only by breaking his wings can he survive."

A hint of murderous intent flashed across ***'s eyes.

"If he wants to grow stronger and have friends all over the court, he will eventually die. The child in your belly will be fatherless as soon as he is born."

Fu Ran was shocked when he heard this.

She knew that Wei Xuan and *** were fighting secretly just for power.

She didn't quite believe that those in power really cared about the lives of the common people.

They are more concerned about immediate interests.

She stroked her abdomen with one hand, looking dazed.

"*** is right. My child cannot be born without seeing his father. *** I will do whatever you say. As long as he can survive, nothing else matters." Fu Ran said in panic.

She acted extremely scared.

*** didn't suspect anything. After all, Wei Xuan had uncovered several of her secret connections because of Fu Ran, and the loss was not just money that could be calculated.

"Here's the cup of tea, drink it." *** pointed to the tea in front of her.

Fu Ran picked it up, looked at the beautiful color of the tea, and smelled the refreshing fragrance.

But, she didn't want to drink.

In front of her mother, she picked up the tea, covered it with her sleeve, and dripped it slowly into her neck, drop by drop.

After a moment, she put down the teacup and wiped her lips with her sleeve.

"Good tea, thank you for the reward."

*** stared at her for a while, and saw that the cup was empty, there was no tea stain on the ground, and her coat was not wet.

His expression softened.

"Do you know what kind of tea this is?"

"Fu Ran doesn't know."

"This is the famous cloud needle in Tianshan Mountain." *** stood up and slowly told Fu Ran the origin of the cloud needle.

Yunzhen is not tea, it is poison.

Once you are poisoned by the Yun needle, you must have an antidote within a month, otherwise your whole body will feel unbearable pain as if you were pricked by needles.

The pain from the needle prick will get worse every day if you don't take the antidote.

Until the poisoned person can no longer bear it and dies from the pain.

Fu Ran turned pale when he heard this.

The panic in her eyes intensified.

"Why did you ask Fu Ran to drink this poison? Don't you trust Fu Ran? If Fu Ran hurts himself and the baby in his belly by taking this poison, how can he be used by the princess?"

She said in a trembling voice.

"Don't be afraid. I'll give you the antidote right away." She took out a white porcelain bottle with a pill in it. "I'll have someone deliver it to you once a month. As long as you obey me, I'll ensure that you and the baby in your belly are safe."
