Chapter 222: The Stunning Secret Guard in Ancient Power Conspiracy and Hegemony (25)
If something happened to Shi Ran while attending the banquet with her, and the child in her belly was harmed, she would be implicated, and Zheng Mujin would not be able to help but panic.
Fortunately, apart from staining my clothes, there was nothing serious.
"Why are you so frizzy!"
Madam Xie shouted at her maid and hurriedly came over.
He held Shi Ran's hand and apologized to her personally.
He spoke softly and made enough gestures.
"I have a newly made Xiaguang dress that I have never worn. I think today I am waiting for someone as beautiful as my sister. This is also a blessing for this dress. Why don't you let the maid next to me take my sister to change?"
Are you trying to create an opportunity for yourself to meet Gongyi Mu?
This method is a bit too direct.
Shi Ran smiled and did not refuse.
Zheng Mujin on the side also understood what Shi Ran meant, lowered his eyes and sat back silently.
After a while, it was her battlefield.
Mrs. Xie looked at Shi Ran's back as she left with her maid, still feeling sour in her heart.
Your Highness actually had a relationship with the concubine of Prince Rui's palace.
Now, you have to make the connections yourself.
But he didn't even have the option to refuse.
Because the identity of the secret guard Yaoguang was considered an absolute secret, Gongyi Mu did not fully tell Mr. Xie. He only said that he had an old friend and wanted to meet him.
A man and woman of the same age had an old relationship, so Xie naturally thought about friendship.
And what she thought was actually not wrong.
In the backyard, as soon as the maid brought Shi Ran into the house, she disappeared quietly.
And Shi Ran was not in a hurry to change her clothes, but was waiting for Gong Yi Mu to appear.
Sure enough, within a moment, a tall figure emerged from behind the screen in the room.
It is Gongyi Mu.
"Flutterlight."
Although Gongyi Mu looked happy, his steps were still leisurely and dignified.
It was as if Ran took the initiative while waiting.
But Shi Ran didn't give the reaction he expected.
She just stood there quietly, and when she fell into Gongyi Mu's eyes, she automatically imagined that she was overly surprised.
"What? But I haven't seen Gu in just a few months, so why do I feel like I'm unfamiliar with him?"
His eyes fell on Shi Ran's slightly bulging belly, and he was still sighing in his heart, Yao Guang, this pregnant person, really pretended to be pregnant.
"Your Highness."
Shi Ran lowered his eyes slightly and said meaningfully.
"I haven't informed you today that I invited you here in the name of Mr. Xie. Firstly, I really miss you, and secondly, I want to confirm something with you."
Gongyi Mu slowly walked to the table and sat down.
When he saw Shi Ran again, he missed her a lot.
She is still so beautiful that one is struck by the sight and haunted by dreams.
It's a pity that now she has become Gong Yishuo's person.
No matter how beautiful the jade is, it will eventually have flaws.
Gongyi Mu concealed the unwillingness in his heart, but his face remained calm, as if he didn't care much about Shi Ran's current identity.
"What do you want to ask, Your Highness?"
Shi Ran was not polite at all and sat directly opposite Gong Yi Mu.
Across the round table, he looked at Gongyi Mu.
Gongyi Mu was heartbroken.
At this moment, he finally discovered that today's fluctuating light seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
There was no excitement, no joy, just as calm as seeing a stranger.
Regardless of the affection between the two or her identity as a secret guard, she shouldn't react like this now.
Gongyi Mu responded quickly.
He subconsciously wanted to grab Shi Ran's hand, but Shi Ran turned aside to avoid the hand.
Gongyi Mu now had an even more horrifying suspicion in his mind.
"Tianquan! Yuheng!"
Gongyi Mu's expression suddenly became stern, and without even raising his eyes, he called out two names.
The next moment, two figures appeared in the house like ghosts.
It is the two of the Seven Star Lords who are ranked before Yaoguang.
"Diagnose Yaoguang's pulse and see if there is anything fishy about her pregnancy!"
If fluctuating light is really...
No, not possible!
Gongyi Mu subconsciously wanted to deny this possibility.
Yaoguang is a secret guard carefully trained by the Xie family. During the training process, she will be fed drugs that make it difficult for women to get pregnant. This is to prevent the female secret guard from defecting because she has an heir during the mission.
What's more, Fluctlight is not the same as myself...
No, this is impossible!
But Shi Ran mercilessly crushed his unwillingness to admit it.
"Your Highness does not need to ask Tian Quan and Yu Heng to diagnose my pulse. I can tell Your Highness directly. Yes, what you guessed is correct. I am indeed pregnant. The pulse condition reported by the Imperial Hospital has always been true."
Gongyi Mu looked at Shi Ran in shock, unable to believe that she had so easily told the terrible truth about her defection.
"Yuoguang, do you know what will happen if the secret guard betrays you?"
Gongyi Mu's eyes were full of cruelty and madness.
If Fluctlight's pregnancy is real.
So she has been lying to herself since the so-called Si Tianjian's prophecy.
And I have lost so many things because of this scam.
Even the mother's concubine's demotion should be inseparable from her.
She really deceived everyone, so scheming and clever!
But why? !
Didn’t you treat her well?
Obviously she has promised that after achieving great things, she will have a place in the harem!
Why would she betray herself? !
She was obviously the first person he fell in love with!
Gongyimu felt the unprecedented anger of being betrayed.
"I know, being tortured by the Listening Sound Gu, and dying in pain that gnaws at the bones and scratches the heart. After all, every secret guard will witness the death of a senior before being selected for training."
The original owner was only seven years old at the time.
Watching a beautiful girl, in front of her and a dozen other selected children, being tortured until she became inhumane, she finally died hoarse.
This is the original owner's deepest nightmare.
It's hard to say whether the original owner was really in love with Gong Yimu when he and Gong Yimu expressed deep love for each other, or whether he was subconsciously afraid of the scene when he was seven years old.
Gongyi Mu is the master who the Xie family fully supports. Will being with him save him from that scene?
"Now that you know, why do you still betray?! How did you get pregnant? It's impossible for your body to be pregnant! Or, you have been thinking about betrayal since you were still training!"
Therefore, it is very possible that she secretly concealed those medicines and did not take them. The purpose is to leave a way out for yourself!
"Betrayal? Isn't it ridiculous that His Highness told me whether to betray or not? Brothers can kill each other for the sake of power, let alone you and me?"
Shi Ran smiled softly and looked at Tianquan and Yuheng opposite.
"You said that, right?"
