Chapter 991 Do you want me to be the emperor?
It was difficult to apply medicine in this cold weather, so they took the person back to the space.
When Mo Beihan took off his shirt awkwardly, Qiao Ran saw that there was a large bruise on his back, and a bloody wound half a finger long that was still bleeding.
Not only was the white inner garment dyed red, but even the outermost black down jacket was wet in a large area and there was a strong smell of blood.
"RanRan, it hurts!"
The man's voice sounded a little pathetic.
Qiao Ran frowned and fed him a hemostatic pill. While cleaning his wound, she whispered:
"Actually, you don't have to protect me. This little slope can't hurt me."
"How can that be? I brought you to Northern Frontier, and I promised your family that I would not let you get hurt in the slightest. If you got hurt under my nose, how could I face your family? Besides, even if there was no reason, I couldn't let a little girl like you get hurt. I have thick skin, so a small injury like this is nothing."
"Rough skin and thick flesh?"
Qiao Ran shook her head.
Except for his face and hands which were exposed, the rest of his skin covered by his clothes was very white, as white and tender as if she had taken whitening pills.
However, he did have quite a few wounds on his body, which showed that he had suffered a lot of injuries from running around all these years.
"You are often injured. Does your uncle know about this? Doesn't he feel sorry for you?"
Mo Beihan smiled bitterly when he heard this:
"He even hopes that I will be disabled or dead! He will not be at ease until I can't threaten his throne. I suspect that many of my injuries were caused by him. Most people can't afford to support so many powerful masters."
"Then you still work for him?"
"If I hadn't worked for him, I would have died long ago. He was guarding against me, but I was also guarding against him. There were several times when I suspected he was one of my men, so I deliberately got hurt and suffered a little more serious damage, so that he would think that my strength was just like that, and he would be less wary of me."
Qiao Ran was silent.
Since ancient times, there has been no family affection among the royal family.
Even if they are brothers or even father and son, they can kill each other for the sake of fighting for the throne, let alone a nephew with whom they have no feelings?
"Have you ever thought about becoming an emperor yourself?"
This statement was extremely outrageous to the ancient people in the feudal society where imperial power was supreme, but there were only the two of them here, and Qiao Ran didn't think that Mo Beihan would do anything to her because of this.
As expected, Mo Beihan shook his head and said calmly:
"I don't want to. What's so good about being an emperor? I have to get up before dawn to attend court, review endless memorials all day, and at night I have to work hard to favor the harem, and deal with endless concubines and princes' fights. I can't sleep for more than three hours a day. Since ancient times, few emperors have lived to be a hundred years old. Most of them died before middle age."
Qiao Ran was speechless.
Indeed, she didn't understand what was so good about fighting for the throne. Being trapped in that besieged city for the rest of her life, she wouldn't be able to enjoy so much wealth and glory for many years. It would not only be hard but also short-lived. It would be better for her to be an ordinary person outside and live freely!
But, thinking of something, she asked again:
"But are you willing to work for him all your life and let him be on guard against you? What if you get married and have children in the future, and he or his son becomes emperor and continues to be on guard against your child and persecutes your son in every possible way? And the Dingbei Army is also a thorn in the emperor's side. If it is not removed, it will always hurt him. Now that he can withhold food and weapons from the Dingbei Army, what if a more ruthless emperor comes and directly seizes the military power in the future? For the sake of your wife and children, your grandfather, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Dingbei Army, have you never thought about replacing the emperor and sitting on the highest position?"
Mo Beihan didn't answer him directly. He turned around and looked at her intently:
"Ran Ran, do you want me to be the emperor?"
