unscrupulous doctor

"I know..." After a long silence, Zhang Yuning actually spoke.

"What? You know?! Then... I have one more thing to tell you..." An Ran decided to go all out, you know even this, so what else can I say, anyway, I am "dying".

"I……"

"I know what you're going to say." Zhang Yuning unkindly interrupted what An Ran had summoned up her courage to say.

"You know?! Then tell me, what am I going to say?" An Ran didn't care about face anymore, she seemed to have forgotten what she just confessed to, and her tone of voice was like a hooligan.

"........." Zhang Yuning's usual silence was the only answer to her.

"Oh...forget it, let me tell you if you don't know, don't interrupt me anymore, I told you earlier that it is very impolite to interrupt others..." An Ran started her speech again Tang Seng-style self-talk, this is what many people do when they are nervous or trying to cover up something.

"You are a woman..."

“…………………………”

“…………………………”

An Ran was speechless as if her tongue had been pinched off, she just stared at Zhang Yuning in a daze.

Ever since Zhang Yuning entered, Xiaocui has always felt like she was in a hurry to urinate and couldn't find a public toilet. She kept walking up and down the gate of the Punishment Division, causing the guard who was counting the money to count wrongly several times.

"I told you, grandma, don't go around any more. If you're really in a hurry, I can make an exception and let you in." Probably because he couldn't stand the silent torture, the guard said.

"But... Miss wants me to wait outside and won't let me go in... Forget it, I'll wait." Xiaocui hesitated for a while, after all she really wanted to go in and see Miss's situation, but she didn't want to go against it. her order.On balance, let's wait and see.

"Squeak--" Just as he was speaking, the door of the Punishment Department was opened, and Zhang Yuning walked out from inside.

"Miss! How is the lady?!" As soon as Xiao Cui saw that Zhang Yuning had come out, she rushed up and asked, but she didn't know if she was asking about Zhang Yuning or An Ran's situation.

"It's okay, let's go." After saying that, he nodded to the guard and walked forward, Xiaocui had to follow.

"Finally gone, my little ancestor... that doctor An is really lucky~ to have such a beautiful woman come to see him." Watching the backs of the master and servant going away, the guard said with envy.But in the end, he was just talking. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he still knows some things and it is better not to know too much. It is enough to treat this kind of thing as a gossip for entertainment, otherwise you will be killed if you are not careful.

In a blink of an eye, nine days have passed.

In the first few days, there were several groups of people who came to see An Ran, besides Bai Ming and Zhang Yuning, of course there were also those bad friends: Gu Shengli, Gu Lingchen, Liu Yuannan and... Fu Liu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

The arrival of these people, how should I put it, is like walking on the Oscars red carpet.The prisoners in the dungeon thought that they would never see anyone again for the rest of their lives, but the people who came these days could be said to have everything they needed, which instantly overturned their thinking.

As a result, speculation about who An Ran was and what crimes he committed reached an unprecedented level.If they all had a mobile phone and could access Weibo, An Ran would probably be able to make the headlines, and the hottest topic would be: Who is the prisoner?This kind of name is like a suspenseful reasoning drama.

Therefore, everyone has the heart to gossip, and the prison is no exception.

Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, Bai Ming and the others are anxious like ants on a hot pot, always feel as if they should do something, but they don't know what to do.This feeling of itching but not being able to scratch it makes people feel even more crazy.

It was Gu Shengli, who did what he thought was the last struggle...

Inside Yaoguang Hall, Gu He was flipping through the memorial handed in this morning.

"Flooding in Kunshan Town again? It seems that many people have been homeless this time, and the appropriation is 10 taels of silver? Huh, these mediocre officials think that I don't know that in the end, only How much did you pay?"

Having been emperor for so many years, Gu He also understands this truth.It is not impossible for you to be greedy, but you cannot be greedy too much.To be a human being, you have to leave a bottom line, and also leave a way out for others.

"The emperor calms down." Eunuch Fu said the eunuch's classic line, which is similar to the line "The second senior brother was taken away by the monster".

"Let the Minister of the Household Department come here, and I will talk to him personally." After a while, Gu He seemed to calm down his anger, and said to Eunuch Fu.

"Yes." After getting the order, Eunuch Fu bowed and left the Yaoguang Hall, and went to the Minister of Xuanhu.

Gu He picked up the teacup in hand, blew on it, and then took a sip.

The tea is good tea, with a little tea fragrance, but why... Is it really bitter in my heart?

"Squeak--" Gu He, who was thinking, heard the sound of pushing the door, and was still amazed that Eunuch Fu was so efficient today, he raised his head and met Gu Shengli's eyes.

As if he didn't believe it, Gu He stood up and shouted: "Li'er..."

When Gu Shengli heard Gu He's voice, he couldn't help shaking slightly. He hadn't spoken to him for a long time because of the An Ran incident, and there was no such thing as father and son getting along alone.

"Father Emperor", the voice didn't fluctuate too much, Gu He was taken aback, and stopped immediately when he was going to go to Gu Shengli, "I came here to talk to you."

"Okay! Okay! Tell me, I'm listening." Gu He was very excited. It's a good thing to have something to say, after all, many things can only be resolved through communication.If Gu Shengli was going to continue the cold war like this, then he would be about to cry.

In the cold war these days, Gu Shengli didn't do nothing and sulking in the room every day, he was just thinking.

He was thinking about why he always thought that the righteous father would do such a despicable and shameless act.In his previous life, black was black and white was white.There are no gray areas in the Four Books and Five Classics taught to him by the Taifu. There are only saints and villains, and only loyal and treacherous officials.

So he doesn't understand.

What An Ran didn't tell him that day, he still understands now, or he needs to understand after all.He is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.After listening to the whole thing, he calmed down and thought that his father also had his own difficulties, which was the emperor's sorrow.

But understanding and accepting are two different things, especially when this kind of thing happens to one's friends.After thinking about it again and again, he decided to talk to his father.

Gu Shengli looked at Gu He's face that resembled him seven times and his gray hair, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

But at the moment, he still suppressed and said: "Father, I have been thinking about it for a long time these days. I know that you have your own reasons for doing this, but An Ran is my friend, and I treat Ning'er as a younger sister. If If a throne needs to be consolidated by friends’ misfortunes and friends’ tears, then I would rather never be an emperor, no, not even a prince. Maybe it was a mistake for me to be born in this emperor’s family. Like the elder brother or the fifth younger brother , Compared with me, they are all well versed in the ways of emperors, but I don't care about these things, what I want....is just friends.

Father, you can understand my pain, right? You also grew up like me. To have a friend who can confide in you without plotting against you is a luxury and a kind of fate for the royal children. .It is also a kind of fate that I can meet them. I always feel that I am lucky.Being born in the royal family and being able to make friends at the same time, I have always felt this way since I was a child.

But now I understand that it is not at all, I will become a loner sooner or later.The funny thing is, the person who made me understand this matter was not the Taifu who used books to teach me the truth, but the one who spoke with facts.... Father, you.

Erchen has never begged you, this time I will beg you, let An Ran go! "

With a "bang", Gu Shengli actually knelt down on both knees, just like that in front of Gu He.

Gu Shengli's words can be regarded as sincere, from the heart, from childhood to adulthood, he almost never begged Gu He like this because of a certain person.But this time, not only begged, but even knelt down.

It is said that a man has gold under his knees, let alone Gu Shengli, who is the prince, so he cannot easily bow to others, even if that person is his father.

Gu He looked at his son kneeling in front of him, the son he loved the most, and froze there for a moment, at a loss for what to do.An emperor who had guided the country for most of his life, was frozen in place by his own son today, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Li'er...you get up and talk first." Gu He felt that his voice was a little dry. He didn't expect that he thought he was a very wise plan back then, plotting against two families to consolidate his imperial power.In the end, the bitter fruit still came true on me.

"Father...if you don't agree, my son won't get up!" Gu Shengli did not even raise his head with great backbone.

"Why are you bothering..." Gu He sighed, and looked at him for a while: "The imperial decree has been issued, how do you want me to let him go? No joke..." Gu He said helplessly.Although this was not a big deal, it was originally An Ran who exposed the matter between him and Eunuch Fu, and to put it bluntly, it was a personal grievance.But Gu Shengli begged so hard, Gu He also felt that he was too cruel to him?

But he still didn't agree.It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.The decree has been issued, and there is no turning back.

Hearing this, Gu Shengli seemed to be stabbed by some sharp object, his face turned pale, and he continued to make the last effort: "Father, please cancel Ning'er's marriage offer!", looking at Gu Shengli at this time , Gu He knew that he would never go back again, he was no longer the original third prince who was protected by his own wings and was as pure as a piece of white paper.

"That matter was originally due to your superficial act of paying compensation to the General's Mansion for Chai Yuyan's murder of Qi Yunlan. Now that the truth is revealed, you have also made it known to the world. That matter was not done by Chai Yuyan at all. In this case, There is absolutely no need for compensation, and besides, Ning'er is not a commodity, so talking about compensation is nonsense! Please take it back!"

"Nonsense! You know it's fate, how can I take it back? A gentleman's words are hard to follow, haven't those Taifu sects taught you this sentence?!" Gu He was indeed a little angry, he admitted this matter What he did was really unkind, to be honest, he still likes that girl Zhang Yuning.But even if he really doesn't want her to marry now, there's nothing he can do. It's a certainty under the imperial decree.

"Really... there is no other way?" Hearing Gu He's decisive tone, Gu Shengli's eyes were filled with despair.
