The first time in history

Back in the cellar, Qian Mingduo took off his robe. Zi'er and Qing'er fanned him with silk fans, but sweat still flowed down his body.

Lu Ran, who entered the mansion from the gate, also came to the cellar. Seeing Qian Mingduo sweating profusely, she couldn't help but smile.

He poured some water into the copper basin and soaked a piece of cloth. After wringing out the water a little, Lu Ran walked to Qian Mingduo's side.

Qian Mingduo was standing in the middle of the cellar wearing only a pair of calf shorts. Lu Ran began to wipe his body gently.

"It seems that the Imperial Aunt is colluding with Concubine Yi. This is the news Chu Xiang learned." Qian Mingduo looked at the tip of Lu Ran's nose flashing with crystal sweat, so he wiped it with his hand.

"Your Highness, raise your arms." Lu Ran said in a tender voice.

Qian Mingduo slowly stretched out his arms, and Zi'er and Qing'er couldn't help but blush.

"It's just that Chu Xiang hasn't found out what their purpose is." Qian Ming looked at Lu Ran, "If the royal aunt helps my ninth brother become the crown prince, what can she get? She is already the most honorable queen in the country, could it be..."

Lu Ran paused, "What did your Highness think of?"

"No, if the imperial aunt wanted to establish herself as the king, why would she cooperate with the Concubine Yi and assist my ninth brother?" Qian Mingduo said to himself, "Wouldn't it be right for her to raise an army and rebel?"

Lu Ran soaked the cloth again, "Your Highness, do you think the emperor knows about these things? We can analyze them, and the emperor must also know how serious they are!"

"Based on my father's style of doing things, he should have used drastic measures long ago. But why has he been forbearing and not doing anything?"

"The emperor left the palace the day before yesterday and will arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow at the latest." Lu Ran squatted down and wiped Qian Mingduo's thigh.

"Ran'er!" Qian Mingduo pulled Lu Ran up, "Will the emperor be ambushed again on his way back to the capital?" Qian Mingduo turned around and said, "Qing'er, Zi'er, quickly go to the emperor's route back to the capital, observe secretly, and protect the emperor."

Qian Mingduo slowly sat down beside the bed. "If our father is assassinated, our country will be in chaos! We have to be extra careful."

Lu Ran nodded, squatted down and continued to wipe Qian Mingduo's legs. Through Lu Ran's low-lifted gauze dress, Qian Mingduo saw a piece of snow-white skin, which rose and fell with Lu Ran's movements.

"Ran'er!" Qian Mingduo called softly.

"Your Highness!" Lu Ran raised her head and saw Qian Mingduo's eyes staring at her chest. She blushed and said, "Your Highness, what do you want Ran'er to do?"

Qian Mingduo put his hands under Ran'er's armpits and lifted her up. He buried his head in her chest and held Lu Ran's slender waist tightly with both hands.

"I want you, will you give yourself to me?" Qian Mingduo picked up Lu Ran, turned around and gently put her on the bed.

Lu Ran's cheeks were as red as if they were painted red, all the way to her neck. She said shyly, "Your Highness, Ran'er is for you!"

The pleasure after the pain just now made Lu Ran gasp for air. At this moment, her head was resting on Qian Mingduo's strong chest, and her breathing had become steady and slow.

"Is it still hot?" Lu Ran asked softly.

"Much better." Qian Mingduo held Lu Ran's waist, "Will you still love me as much as before? Like a sister loves her brother?"

Lu Ran nodded gently.

"You've sweated so much." Qian Mingduo picked up the silk fan and fanned Lu Ran gently.

"Let me fan your Highness!" Lu Ran sat up, "Ran'er is not hot."

Qian Mingduo smiled and lay down on his back with his legs spread out.

Lu Ran lay on his side, supporting his chin with one hand and gently fanning himself with a silk fan with the other.

"I hope nothing happens to Father." Qian Mingduo said worriedly, "In the current situation, only Father can keep things under control. If something happens to Father... the consequences will be terrible."

Lu Ran nodded. "The emperor is the founder of a country. He is the emperor who commanded thousands of troops and expanded the territory. There are so many imperial guards protecting him. Your Highness should not worry too much."

"It's easy to dodge a spear, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark!"

"Who would assassinate the emperor?" Lu Ran wiped Qian Mingduo's forehead with a cloth again, "Your Highness, think about it!"

"Then we have to see who would benefit the most if our father was assassinated. It could be this person."

Lu Ran said: "Now it seems that the Third Prince is the one who has benefited the most."

"Not necessarily." Qian Mingduo shook his head. "Our father was assassinated. Even if my third brother took advantage of the situation to ascend the throne, do you think he can sit on the throne safely?"

"Your Highness, are you referring to the mutiny?"

"Yes." Qian Mingduo said, "Can Third Brother rely on Su Yan's army? Although Su Yan has a large number of troops, most of the troops he commands are stationed at the border. Moreover, he left the capital not long ago and returned to the border."

Lu Ran nodded, "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. But Su Yan can use the banner of coming to the capital to support the king to intimidate the capital."

"The Imperial Aunt will not be scared by Su Yan. Of the five armies of Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Lion and Bear, the Imperial Aunt is in charge of the Lion and Bear armies!" Qian Mingduo sighed softly, "Besides, the Lion Camp is only fifty miles away from the capital, and can be reached in half a day!"

Lu Ran said: "Your Highness, could it be that the Emperor wants to take back ***'s military power, causing *** to rebel?"

"Aunt Royal has been in charge of the Lion and Bear Battalions for more than ten years. Why does Father want to take back her military power at this time?"

Lu Ran blinked, "There is only one reason I can think of. The emperor wants to appoint a crown prince, or pass the throne to a prince."

"Pass on the throne?" Qian Mingduo frowned.

"Perhaps the emperor already knew ***'s thoughts. Didn't His Highness say that *** had a grudge against the emperor? As for why she had a grudge, I'm afraid only the emperor and *** know."

Qian Mingduo said: "It is possible to appoint a crown prince, but how can we pass on the throne?"

"Your Highness, the will of heaven is unpredictable! The world is unpredictable." Lu Ran said softly. She knew that her words were somewhat disrespectful to the emperor, but she also understood that His Highness was not the kind of person who could not bear to hear the truth.

Qian Mingduo frowned slightly, looking at the candles on the wall thoughtfully. He said slowly: "Things in this world are always changing, how can we control them?"

Lu Ran said: "It is precisely because of this that we must be prepared to deal with various situations. Just like His Highness sensed danger as soon as he returned from the *** Palace and acted decisively, so he was not arrested!"

Qian Mingduo sighed deeply and said with emotion: "Forget it, forget it... let's see how the situation changes." After that, he turned sideways to look at Lu Ran, smiled, suddenly pouting and winking at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran understood what Qian Mingduo meant, and her face turned red again. She glanced at Qian Mingduo shyly, pouted her lips, and slowly kissed him...
