Chapter 276 Empty Joy 1
Cao Rui asked in surprise: "You have never been interested in the affairs of the court, how did you know Xie An? And you know what kind of person he will become in the future?"

Jing Ran nonsense said: "I have been to Xie's mansion and met Xie An, and I have also heard Xie Xuan talk about his uncle, I have confidence in him, when Huan Wen dies, it will be Xie An who will be on the stage gone."

Cao Rui said: "Is that really the case? After returning to the state of Jin, I will pay a personal visit to Mr. Xie. I have never had any contact with him, and I don't know what he is like. I know that he only entered the court when he was over forty. I've been at ease for half a lifetime."

Today, because of Cao Rui's rest, no one would doubt his whereabouts, so he rested at Jingran's place with peace of mind.

The next morning, Cao Rui sneaked back to his room.

Just after breakfast, the Queen Mother asked casually: "Jing Ran, you said you were Ge Hong's apprentice, but Ai's family recently heard that Ge Hong was no longer alive when Sima Pi was in power. Why do you say you are Do you know that you want to go to Ge Hong to continue to study medicine?"

Jing Ran's alarm sounded loudly, could Queen Mother Gou doubt her identity?Quickly explained: "My master once offered elixir to Emperor Ai of Jin Dynasty Sima Pi, fearing that Emperor Ai of Jin Dynasty would be poisoned after eating so many elixir, so he ran away overnight and hid in the wild forest."

The queen mother said, "Oh? You mean your master is still alive, not dead?"

Jing Ran said: "Of course, my master didn't die, he walked with my junior brother, and he is alive and well now, but Jin Emperor Sima Pi really died. I was afraid that my master would be implicated, so I claimed to the outside world that he had already passed away." .”

The Empress Dowager said: "Oh, so that's the case. When you first entered the palace, someone reminded Aijia of this matter, so Aijia always had doubts in his heart."

Jing Ran said: "Since the Empress Dowager was wondering about this at the time, she could have asked me, why did she suddenly ask about it now?"

The queen mother said: "Yesterday, when the queen asked about your identity, the Ai family realized that they should ask you about it."

Jing Ran said: "Well, does the Queen Mother have any orders? If not, I will retire."

Empress Dowager Gou said: "Actually, you have lived in the Ai family's palace for so many days, and the Ai family already knows that you are a daughter's family. You don't need to hide it anymore, just wear women's clothes openly."

Jing Ran said with some embarrassment: "I'm used to it, I think it looks good in this way, and it's more convenient to move around."

Empress Dowager Gou said: "Not only the Ai family has seen the emperor's friendship for you, but even the empress has heard about it. Yesterday I came here to ask about your situation and wanted to take you into the harem."

Jing Ran was shocked, and said: "No, no, I will never enter the harem. The Queen Mother and Empress Dowager must have misunderstood. I really have no relationship with Your Majesty."

Empress Dowager Gou smiled and said: "You may not have one, but the emperor definitely has one. He is my son, so I naturally know him."

Empress Dowager Gou rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that the queen will make things difficult for you? Don't worry, the queen is the niece of Ai's family, and I know her best. She is the most kind and simple. Over the years, the harem has only She is alone, she has always wanted the emperor to accept a concubine, but the emperor has no one he likes."

Empress Dowager Gou looked at Jing Ran and said, "It's rare that he has taken a fancy to you, so you can stay in the palace and serve him."

Jing Ran said: "It's not that Jing Ran doesn't want to serve His Majesty, it's because Jing Ran is not worthy of His Majesty. How can I not be married at my age? Not only do I have a husband, but I also have children."
