176 It's a pity that there is no if
She wanted to give Mo Shaohua some time so that he could speak clearly.
The two of them were silent all the way, Bai Ranran always keeping her hands in her sleeves, and Mo Shaohua wanted to hold her hand but couldn't.
After walking out of the busy city, the surroundings seemed extremely quiet, and there was something indescribably wrong with the atmosphere.
Mo Shaohua looked sideways at Bai Ranran and asked warmly: "Ran'er is tired from shopping. If she is tired, let's find a place to rest and let them prepare the sedan?"
Regarding the marriage granted by the emperor in the morning, he didn't know how to talk to Bai Ranran.
The Chengde Emperor's court directly issued the decree, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who appointed the marriage was a close official of the Chengde Emperor.
Emperor Chengde must have thought carefully about letting his own people around him, and it was impossible to give him a chance to resist the decree.
If he had not accepted this imperial edict at that time, not only would he have no chance to ascend to the throne, but Emperor Chengde would also punish him severely.
The punishment is small. Emperor Chengde was suspicious by nature, so he would definitely be suspicious of him.
If Emperor Chengde becomes suspicious of him, the road ahead will be even more difficult.
"I'm not tired. I'll be there soon. I want to walk more."
Bai Ranran's tone was as usual, with even a hint of a smile on her lips, "How are you doing lately? Is there any trouble? You'll look sad next morning."
She was not a person who could hold back things, so she couldn't help but started talking.
She has already asked her question, it just depends on whether Mo Shaohua will comply with her and confess.
In fact, Bai Ranran already believed what Ning Jinman said, but she just hoped that Mo Shaohua could deny this matter.
There is no doubt that she loves Mo Shaohua, but she will never tolerate him marrying another woman, so she is extremely conflicted in her heart and has not yet figured out how to deal with this matter.
"The court has always been calm on the surface, but there is a turbulent undercurrent behind the scenes. The war in the Western Region is tense, and Lula is also ready to stir up trouble. Today, several civil servants have been arguing in the court for a long time about the conscription of troops and tax increases. They are worried about internal and external troubles.
Father has a headache, and he is calling the imperial doctor again today, so he may not be in good health."
Emperor Chengde's health itself was not good, and it was getting worse day by day. He had to arrange his time gradually and not be careless in the slightest.
Mo Shaohua talked about things that Bai Liran didn't care much about, but did not mention the imperial edict.
"Well, it's really troublesome." Bai Ranran said absently.
In the past, when he discovered that Bai Linran was in a bad mood, Mo Shaohua must have pulled her to get to the bottom of it and inquired about it.
But today, he saw that Bai Lianran was in a bad mood, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Ranran once told him that what she wanted must be unique, and if there was someone else, she would leave.
Mo Shaohua wanted to tell her, but he was afraid that she would react violently later. At this moment, his heart felt like a dull knife grinding against each other, it was so painful that he couldn't speak out.
He originally thought he could have both fish and bear's paws, but now he couldn't choose between them.
He carries a blood feud and the expectations of his mother and former prince and former ministers. She cannot let go of these responsibilities and hatred.
But Bai Ranran was the person he loved most, and he didn't want to make her sad, let alone let her go.
There were solutions to other things, but he didn't know what to do with this matter.
Back in the mansion, Bai Linran felt a little tired, so she took a nap.
Mo Shaohua watched her sleep, stayed by her side, and sat by the bed while reading, waiting for her to wake up.
Bai Ranran slept for half an hour. When she woke up, she habitually touched her bulging belly and yawned before opening her eyes.
Sitting beside the bed, Mo Shaohua's profile was flawless, making her feel dazed for a moment.
Hearing her yawn, Mo Shaohua put down the book in his hand and bent down to kiss her on the forehead, "My little lazy cat is awake."
"Um."
Bai Liran reached out and hooked his neck, nuzzling the tip of his nose with her nose.
Mo Shaohua's heart felt itchy from being rubbed by her, warmth surged in his eyes, he tilted his head slightly, and captured his seductive lips that he had coveted for a long time.
Bai Ranran was already a little confused, but she became even more confused after being kissed by him.
She hugged Mo Shaohua's neck and didn't let go, her amber eyes were as bright as stars, and she looked at Mo Shaohua with a sweet smile, "I went out for dinner today and heard someone say that Prince Ning is going to marry two princesses. Isn't it interesting?
"
She asked anyway.
Sure enough, straightforwardness is her style.
She doesn't like ambiguous things, and she doesn't like to hide and guess.
Mo Shaohua's body suddenly stiffened, and Bai Ranran's heart gradually sank.
Her face looked normal, but her heart seemed to be malfunctioning. One moment it was beating as if it was about to burst through her chest, and the next moment it was as calm as a deep pool of still water.
Mo Shaohua didn't need to answer, his reaction had already given her the answer.
She chuckled softly and asked and answered her own questions: "Ning Jinman would make up any lie just to piss me off. It's really boring. I knew it was impossible."
The hand on Mo Shaohua's neck pulled down, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said in a relaxed tone: "I haven't seen Taozi and Qingcheng for a long time, and I'm really worried. The imperial chef has eaten too much food, and it's a little bit...
I miss Qingcheng’s food, I want to go back and stay for two days.”
Although Bai Liran behaved very naturally, Mo Shaohua was still very uneasy.
He gently touched Bai Linran's head and frowned slightly, "I will accompany you back to stay for a few days."
"No, they won't feel comfortable if you go there. I'll stay there for two days. If you're worried, just arrange more people to protect me."
She needs to think carefully, what should she do if she can think about this matter quietly in an environment without Mo Shaohua's interference?
She once asked Mo Shaohua, if he were asked to give up the throne and live in seclusion in the mountains with her, would he be willing?
Mo Shaohua also remained silent at that time.
After getting along with each other for such a long time, Bai Ranran understood Mo Shaohua fairly well, and he would respond with silence to questions he didn't want to answer.
She knew that Mo Shaohua had just entered the court and his foundation was not stable. If he wanted to legitimately get the position of crown prince, he must accept this imperial decree of marriage.
He knew clearly that she would not accept sharing her husband with anyone else, but he still chose to accept the order.
The moment Mo Shaohua chose to accept the order, he also made a choice.
Maybe this throne is not what he wants, maybe it is the hatred and responsibility that he cannot let go of, but he has a necessary reason.
Bai Lianran could understand all his difficulties, but understanding was just understanding, breaking her own bottom line to be tolerant, she couldn't bear this kind of love.
Mo Shaohua was silent for a long time before answering her, "Okay, I'll pick you up in two days."
He also needed time, but he knew that there was no solution to this matter.
Bai Ranran smiled and let go of him, lifted the quilt, and let him help her put on her coat.
Seeing the handsome man carefully dressing her, Bai Ranran's eyes were full of unspeakable emotions.
If only he were an ordinary person!
well!
It's a pity that there is no if.
Putting away her thoughts, she walked to the table outside, pinched a piece of preserved fruit and put it in her mouth. She called Yun Shu outside to prepare a few sets of clothes for her, and asked Xiaolan to get someone to set up the car.
Mo Shaohua stopped Xiaolan and asked her to order someone to softly pad the inside of the carriage. Just prepare two sets of clothes. There is no need to prepare too many.
Just as he was about to send Bai Linran there in person, Fan Duo came to him and reported something to him in a low voice.
He frowned, told Bai Linran some things, and then took Fan Duo to Nuange.
When he came back, Bai Liran had already left with Yun Shu and Qian Lan.
After hearing that Bai Ranran had left with Qianlan, Mo Shaohua asked Sundial to dispatch more than ten secret guards to guard the place day and night.
He didn't know whether he was trying to protect Bai Linran's safety, or whether he was selfishly afraid of her leaving.
Taozi and Yucan had not seen Bai Lunran for a long time, and when they saw her coming, they all gathered around her happily.
When Qingcheng heard that she was back, she ran all the way from the backyard, throwing off her shoes twice, and ran to Bai Liran's side impatiently. She glanced at her belly, feeling that she had a lot to say to her.
