My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

Meng Youning's lips parted slightly, about to speak, when a tearing pain suddenly shot through her lips.

She frowned slightly, involuntarily gasped, and placed her hand back on Qi Ran's neck.

Meng Youning shifted her body uncomfortably, looking quite awkward.

Cang Hei, standing to the side, silently reached out and touched his nose. He had just seen a sly smile flicker across Qi Ran's lips.

Although Qi Ran walked quickly, Meng Youning in his arms was not greatly affected.

A few blinks later, Qi Ran carefully placed Meng You Ning on the bed.

Meng Youning was about to get up when Qi Ran pressed her shoulder down and forced her back down.

"You're already in this state, why are you still standing up?"

As he spoke, he bent down slightly and lifted Meng Youning's legs onto the couch.

Meng Youning's eyes were filled with confusion. She slowly raised her eyes and met Qi Ran's deep pupils.

After only one glance, Meng Youning silently looked away.

Qi Ran turned to the side and shouted towards the outside, "Where is the physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Meng Youning suddenly spoke up, "Your Highness, I have already checked. He will recover after a short rest."

"How can that be?" Qi Ran's eyes widened. "The imperial physician was specially invited. How can outside doctors be compared to him? If something is not detected in time, who will be responsible?"

Meng Youning pursed her lips. Why did Qi Ran seem so strange today?

Isn't this a bit too much of a reaction?

Seemingly realizing that his attitude was too enthusiastic, Qi Ran suddenly sat up, put his hands on his hips, and paced around the room.

He would occasionally peek out the door.

"Um..." He pointed to the door, "I'll go and urge them on. Why are they taking so long? You should rest for now."

Before Meng Youning could react, she left Yunyan Pavilion with lightning speed.

Outside Yunyan Pavilion, Qi Ran leaned closer to Cang Hei and asked, "How was it? Wasn't I very manly and charming just now?"

Cang Hei hummed in agreement, then remained silent for a moment.

Qi Ran's face darkened, and he clenched his right fist, striking Cang Hei's shoulder directly. "What kind of expression is that?"

A wide smile immediately spread across his dark face. He gave Qi Ran a thumbs-up and nodded vigorously, "Your Highness is right. You were just being incredibly manly!"

Qi Ran's smile grew even wider. "That's more like it."

not far away.

"Your Highness, pinch me quickly." Jiang Zhuo stared intently in Qi Ran's direction, gently patted Qi Shangqing beside her, and asked in surprise, "Did I see that right? Ran'er and You Ning have really fallen for each other?"

Qi Shangqing stared intently ahead, then slowly shook his head. "In my opinion, it's still a bit uncertain. They clearly have no intention of paying him any attention right now."

He paused, then continued, "I think it's going to be difficult for us to have a baby soon. This brat is completely irresponsible and utterly useless."

Jiang Zhuo's eyes flickered slightly, "I think it was because the last time we put the two of them in the same room that it had an effect."

Suddenly, she paused, her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She leaned closer to Qi Shangqing.

Qi Shangqing subconsciously bent over.

Jiang Zhuo whispered a few words in Qi Shangqing's ear.

The next moment, Qi Shangqing turned to the side and asked in confusion, "Will this work?"

Jiang Zhuo rubbed his hands together, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "I can definitely do it!"

"Alright!" Qi Shangqing gritted his teeth and made a decision immediately, "We'll do it your way!"

After seeing the doctor enter Yunyan Pavilion and confirming that Meng Youning's body was fine and only needed recuperation, Qi Ran left Yunyan Pavilion.

Inside the main house.

Qi Ran clasped his hands together, rested his head lightly on them, and looked ahead.

Cang Hei scratched his head and chuckled, "Young Master, why are you looking at me like that? It's kind of creepy."

As he spoke, he hugged his arm and rubbed it up and down.

Qi Ran raised his head slightly, glared at him, waved his hand, and said impatiently, "Get out of my way, don't block my view."

In an instant, Cang Hei silently took a step to the side.

Qi Ran put her head back down, her eyes blinking.

The image of Meng Youning gambling with Yunniang at Jinzhaozui flashed involuntarily into his mind.

Meng Youning clearly looked much weaker than him, but when she sat down at the table, she exuded a mysterious aura from head to toe.

It has a charm that makes it hard to look away.

If he were the one sitting there, he could learn Meng Youning's move, and he would attract the attention of countless noble ladies in the future.

The more Qi Ran thought about it, the happier she became.

Gradually, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh out loud.

Cang Hei quickly glanced at Qi Ran in surprise.

His pupils widened slightly.

Suddenly meeting the other's gaze, Qi Ran clicked his tongue, casually picked up a piece of pastry in front of him, and threw it at Cang Hei. "What kind of look is that?"

Cang Hei caught it quickly, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then nodded slightly, "Mmm, thank you for the pastry, Your Highness. It's delicious."

Qi Ran silently placed his hand on a teacup beside him, staring coldly at Cang Hei.

Seeing this, Cang Hei silently lowered his arms, which had been clasped together.

He immediately and silently retreated towards the door.

After he left, Qi Ran slowly poured himself a cup of tea.

Meanwhile, it gradually got dark outside.

"Are you sure no one will notice if we're both dressed like this?"

A tall man had a black face mask tightly tied around the back of his head.

Then, he straightened his clothes, looked down at his all-black outfit, and asked the person in front of him with great unease.

The person being questioned reached out and pulled the mask up over his face, then straightened his clothes before saying, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything here beforehand, there definitely won't be any problems."

"And what about Cang Hei?" the man suddenly asked.

The woman paused, slapped her forehead, and lowered her voice, "Oh right, I forgot about him!"

She grabbed the man's arm with one hand and took out sleeping pills from her sleeve with the other.

As soon as they looked up, the two of them found themselves staring at each other with dark, wide eyes.

Before she could make a move, Cang Hei's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Seemingly realizing that he was in the wrong position, he quietly moved to the side.

The two looked at each other.

The woman silently put the sleeping potion back into her sleeve.

The next instant, the two stepped directly over the dark-skinned man's legs.
