Chapter 13: Never Believe
Rose! You killed your sister!" Lan Ruoyan was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help Murong Qingqing.
"Mother, if you want to get one thing, you must sacrifice one thing. Isn't it good to save the prince's life with the queen's life? She will also be willing." Roseberry said lightly and bypassed them. She walked straight to Xuanyuan and sat down.
"Dieer, you said you don't know martial arts. You said that you liked me when you stayed in the palace. Are you all lying to me?" Xuanyuan's forehead was already full of cold sweat, and the scene just now made him completely see the appearance of Rosemary!
"Your Majesty forgives me, my concubine lied you, and I didn't tell you a lot of words..." Rosemi opened her eyes slightly and was still suffocatingly beautiful.
"It's not for me--" Xuanyuan Che looked at the rose in surprise. Thinking carefully, he exclaimed, "Is it King Chen!"
"Yes. In this case, the emperor should understand!" Roseberry smiled gently and looked at Xuanyuan's eyes as gentle as water. With a silver needle between her slender fingers, she stabbed towards Xuanyuan's heavenly spirit cover!
"No!" Murong Qingqing exclaimed in despair, tears welled out, and the person she valued most died in front of her. Excessive emotion induced the rapid spread of toxins. In an instant, she felt that her whole body's strength was disintegrated and finally collapsed in Lan Ruoyan's arms.
"Sister!" Lan Ruoyan called her nervously, don't, don't disappear in front of her eyes like this.
Murong Qingqing was sad to see her and blamed Lan Ruoyan again. Just now, Rosemez said that she would exchange the queen's life for the prince's life, and she knew that it was Rosem that Rosem that caught Shenger to blackmail Lan Ruoyan. "I'm sorry, my sister blamed you again - don't blame your sister for trusting others..."
"Sister, I have never blamed you." Lan Ruoyan shook her head, and Murong Qingqing's weak appearance at this moment only made her feel heartache and unhurt. Can she only watch Murong Qingqing die like this...
"Sister Yan'er, I don't regret my death, but Sheng'er is still young... You promised that I will protect him after death... I don't ask him to be a superior in the future, as long as he can live well..." Murong Qingqing said with difficulty. Now she hasn't said a word, as if she is overdrawn her life.
"Sister, you won't die..." Lan Ruoyan shook her head. She wanted to save Murong Qingqing. She didn't want her to die!
"It's useless. The poison has penetrated into my heart. Even if the immortals are born again, they can't save me... Sister, promise me to take good care of Sheng'er and promise me--" Murong Qingqing grabbed Lan Ruoyan's hand and pleaded.
"Okay, sister, I promise you." Lan Ruoyeng's tears finally fell. She is not a hard-hearted person. Even if she is used to life and death, she will still be sad.
"In this way... I'm relieved..." Murong Qingqing said with relief, looking at Xuanyuan Che, who had lost his breath, but smiled bitterly, "Brother Xuan - I didn't expect that we really died on the same day of the same month..." After saying that, his breath died.
Tears couldn't stop. Lan Ruoyan hugged Murong Qingqing tightly, which was all her fault. If she hadn't taken Murong Qingqing to see Xuanyuan Che's last face, Murong Qingqing would not have died, and Shenger would not have fallen into the hands of roses. Oh, my God, what has she done!
"It's really a touching drama, princess, it turns out that you will also be sad." Rosemary's sarcastic words came from behind.
Gently put down Murong Qingqing's body, Lan Ruoyan turned back angrily and stared at Rosemary, "If you hate me, you can come to revenge directly!" Why do you torture the people around me like this?"
"I'll find you directly - oh, I don't want to kill you soon!" Rosemary showed murderous intentions, but when she really wanted to do it, she couldn't do it again, "But... if I kill you, the prince will hate me for the rest of my life..."
"What if I hate you?! The prince doesn't exist without you in his heart. Don't you hate him at least let him remember you in his heart? Lan Ruoyan smiled cruelly and got up to approach Rosemary step by step. "The prince loves me very much. If you kill me, he will suffer for a lifetime. He will never forget me. When he thinks of me, don't he think of you, the murderer who killed me? Isn't it good?"
"You, don't force me!" Rosemary clenched her fists, and Lan Ruoyan was forcing her to do it.
"Forcing you, who forced whom first!" Lan Ruoyan shouted angrily and slapped at Rosem with a sharp palm.
Rose diddge, but how could Lan Ruoyan stop? She became tighter and tighter, making Rose have to resist. Their light skills are comparable, but in terms of martial arts, the killing skills that Roseme has practiced since childhood is still slightly better than Lan Ruoyan!
"This is what you forced me to do!" Rosemary is going to be a killer! Unexpectedly, at this time, two dark shadows suddenly emerged from the dark, forcibly separating them and suppressing each other.
Rose saw the people coming clearly and exclaimed, "Ripples!"
"Feiyu, long time no see." In the cold eyes of the ripples, there was no joy of old friends to see again, but bursts of chills.
"Who are you?! Let go of me!" Lan Ruoyan stared at the cold and handsome man in front of him, who was full of the murderous smell of blood. Even Lan Ruoyan felt a little inexplicably cold. She could even guess that the sharp blade in the man's hand might have ended the white life!
"Princess, my subordinate is Qi Yun. I am ordered by the prince to protect the safety of the Empress, and please take care of herself!" Qi Yun replied without emotion, saying that the word "cherish" meant a warning. He was ordered to protect Lan Ruoyan's safety, but if Lan Ruoyan went to die by herself, he would also be in trouble.
"Protected by order? When did you follow this palace?" Lan Ruoyan was drowned in anger and woke up a little. The two men and women she had met were sent by Xuanyuan Chen to protect herself?
"Ripple, come and explain." Qi Yun shouted at the ripples over there.
The ripple came over, knelt down in front of Lan Ruoyan and said, "Mother Jin An."
"Ripples?" Lan Ruoyan looked down at the woman kneeling below. Is he a ripple? You are a ripple... Isn't it just the same name?"
"My subordinates are the ripples in Lanxin Pavilion." Lianyi replied flatly that it was her real appearance at this moment. Her own appearance was too bright and it was not suitable to be a maidservant, so she changed her appearance before she sneaked into Lanxin Pavilion. There was an order not to let Lan Ruoyan find her identity, but now it seems to have to be exposed.
"You..." He actually sent someone to her side again! Lan Ruoyan was inexplicably angry. She said, "Where is the prince now?" Since she sent someone to her side, why don't she take advantage of it?
"My wife, I can't interfere in the matter of the prince." Lianyi answered directly, "My subordinate's duty is only to take care of the Empress."
"You--" Lan Ruo wasyan yan knotted. She looked sideways at Qi Yun and asked, "Then what do you do?"
"My subordinates are protecting the safety of the mother." Qi Yun answered respectfully.
"Then the concubine threatened me, why didn't you come out?" Lan Ruoyan questioned Qi Yun.
"Madam, your life is not in danger just now." Qi Yun replied.
"You--" Lan Ruoyan, what should she say about her mood at this moment, as if everything has lost her control! As soon as she shook her hand, she didn't bother to say anything to them anymore. Now she is eager to save Xuanyuansheng. He went to the bedside and picked up Murong Qingqing to take him away, but he was stopped.
"Mother, the queen wants to stay." Ripples whispered.
"Did you let her expose the body in the wilderness?" Lan Ruoyan roared.
"Calm down, the queen is the queen, and naturally she will be buried with the queen's gift." Lian Yi explained, "Besides, the queen and the emperor are husband and wife. Does the Empress bear to separate after their death?"
"..." They were all right. Lan Ruoyan took a deep breath, looked at Murong Qingqing's peaceful face, and sighed. She had to admit that what ripples said was reasonable, and she withdrew her hand.
"Mother, it's getting late. Please go back home. This can be handed over to the prince. The ripple continued to persuade.
"You don't have to say more, I understand." Lan Ruoyan snorted coldly and walked out. When she passed the rosemary, she left a bloodthirsty look and left without looking back.
In Lanxin Pavilion, Biyun Biyou saw her coming back and hurriedly greeted her out. Lan Ruoyan knew that Xuanyuan Chen had gone to the morning now, and she would hear "Your Majesty and Queen collapsed today." Next, it's time for the whole country to be in turmoil.
"Biyun, how's the Fanghua Building?" When Lan Ruoyan changed her clothes, she looked at Biyun and remembered this.
"The maidservant examined Ye Fei's body. She did die of poisoning, but it was a chronic poison, and the traces left by the small amount were weak. It is estimated that it is the poison gentleman's unique medicine 'Half Moon Yang'. If it is an ordinary work, the cause of death cannot be found. Biyun replied in a low voice.
"Half Moon, the name is unique. But Nangong Jinzhi has been poisoned for less than half a month since last time. Why did she attack and death? Lan Ruoyan asked puzzled.
"Listen to Qiu Chan, Concubine Ye ordered her to send warm wine to the bedroom every night. The maidservant thought that the wine should have accelerated the outbreak of poison. Biyun analyzed carefully, "And Ye Fei's temper has always been moody, which will also induce toxicity."
"It seems that the poisonous gentleman has figured her through, and even poisoning can have her unique style." Lan Ruoyan's words were sarcastic. She was in a bad mood. Xuanyuan Sheng didn't release it from Rosemary for a day, so she couldn't feel at ease for a day. It is impossible to ask Xuanyuanchen for help now. Who else can help her?
You must be able to bring out Xuanyuansheng with nothing to do, and only Su Mu can think about it! Thinking that he had helped him more than once, but she couldn't give him more, Lan Ruoyan became more and more guilty.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly look depressed? Biyou, who combed her hair, asked strangely.
"None! Nothing." Lan Ruoyan quickly shook his head and denied it. She couldn't let them see anything. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought about how to hand it over to Su Mu.
In the past, he always came to Lanxin Pavilion diligently. Why didn't he come often these days? Lan Ruoyan looked outside and thought, Su Mu, Su Mu, why didn't you show up when you came?
He was slandering Su Mu in his heart, and suddenly a maid came to wrap it up, "Mother, Lord Su Mu wants to see you."
"Ah! Invite him in quickly." Lan Ruoyan responded happily. He really responded to her call and came. Regardless of whether her hair was properly combed or not, she got up and went to the outside hall.
"I want to see the Empress." Su Mu gave a gift when he saw her.
"Brother Su, it's good that you're here. Please come with me." Lan Ruoyan couldn't take care of that much. She grabbed Su Mu's hand and went to her robe. Running quickly all the way, running around was almost breathless. Lan Ruoyan stopped and looked back at Su Mu and said, "Brother Su, to be honest, I have something to ask for."
"Yan'er, you want to talk about the prince, right?" Su Mu smiled. Compared with Lan Ruoyan's breathless at this moment, he was much calmer.
"Ah! How do you know?" Lan Ruoyan looked at Su Mu in surprise. It didn't take long for this to happen. How did Su Mu know about it?
"The prince is locked in the carp table now." Su Mu answered truthfully.
"Sheng'er is on the carp platform, so..." Lan Ruoyan wanted to tell Su Mu that she let Xuan Yuansheng go, but after seeing Su Mu's gloomy face, she couldn't speak.
"Yan'er, I know you don't want to see the prince die, and the queen's death is not what you want. But it is undeniable that they may all die in vain because of your single-handedness. Su Mu frowned and said unbearably. He didn't want to blame Lan Ruoyan, but he had to let Lan Ruoyan understand what can be done and what can't be done. "I know that when you do those things, it's out of good intentions, but good intentions will also do good deeds."
"Brother Su, I understand these major principles... I shouldn't have taken the queen to see the emperor." Lan Ruoyan thought of Murong Qingqing, her eyes turned red and she burst into tears. I killed her. If I don't bring her back, at least she won't die--
"Is that true?" Su Mu took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears for Lan Ruoyan and said powerlessly, "You are wrong. Do you really think that the queen and the prince are living in seclusion now and nothing will happen in the future?
"What do you mean?" Lan Ruoyan looked at Su Mu full of doubts.
"When King Chen ascends the throne as emperor in the future, he will definitely erase all the existence that threatens his status, and they must be removed. As an emperor, nothing can't be done to preserve his throne." Su Mu said in a low voice.
"If so, he can get rid of them now. Why wait until the future--" Lan Ruoyan didn't believe it.
Su Mu raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "Didn't he kill the queen first now?"
... Lan Ruoyan understood something in a trance, and she was stunned there for a moment. Has Xuanyuanchen always been just trying to make her happy? She didn't want the queen and the prince to die, so he let them go for the time being. She said that she didn't want to share her husband with other women, so he repaired all the irrelevant concubines in the backyard and left Liu Yuying, not only because she was pregnant, but also because they were a young couple and had feelings for years. He seems to have made a move to himself!
What a satirical fact. Lan Ruoyan smiled at herself. She looked at Su Mu and said, "Brother Su, are you willing to help me save Sheng'er again now?"
"It's my duty to ask for only Yaner's request." Su Mu nodded.
Lan Ruoyan got this answer, but she was not as happy as she expected. What happened on this day has made her dare not trust anyone easily. She was so naive that she thought everything would be fine. She thought that people and people were sincere. But she seems to be wrong. If it's just a false trust at the beginning, how can she be sincere!?
In an instant, Su Mu felt that Lan Ruoyan had changed a little, but he couldn't say where it had changed. It's just that he nodded and agreed to her request. As long as he could do it for her, he would do his best!
After saying goodbye to Su Mu, Lan Ruoyan slowly walked back to Lanxin Pavilion. She analyzed the current situation. Xuanyuanchen is not in a hurry to ascend the throne, and the prince's life will not be in danger. Then her plan now is to gain Xuanyuan Chen's trust and at least let him withdraw the two people around her.
"Princess." A beautiful female voice came from behind.
Lan Ruoyan looked back doubtfully and turned out to be Shaofei walking in the back garden. Her abdomen was high, and her face was slightly fat due to pregnancy, which was not enough to look at the water color. Seeing her smiling approaching, Lan Ruoyan stood still, and she also smiled faintly, "What a coincidence that I met Shaofei here."
"I haven't seen the princess for a while. I don't know how it's been recently?" Shaofei still smiled decently.
Glancing at her stomach, Lan Ruoyan was not in the mood to deal with Shaofei now. She smiled and said, "I'm fine. I don't know when the children in Shaofei's belly will come out..."
"This child must be clingy when he is born." Shaofei stroked her abdomen and said proudly. She looked at Lan Ruoyan and said, "The princess will understand when she has a child--"
As soon as she raised her eyebrows, Lan Ruoyan saw that Shaofei was a little unhappy. She said meanly, "Although I have never been happy, I also know that I am pregnant in October. This child has never come out. What should I do if I can't come out in the future?"
This aroused Shaofei's mind. Her face suddenly changed and her body was a little unstable. She gritted her teeth and couldn't stand it. She said to Lan Ruoyan in a reproachful tone, "How can you say such a thing?"
Inadvertently said hurtful words, Lan Ruoyan also blamed herself, but it didn't mean that she would feel that she had said something wrong. The child in Shaofei's belly has been showing no sign of birth for so long, which is abnormal in the 21st century. If the fetus reaches the due date for a long time, both adults and children will be in danger.
"I just care about Shaofei. The child has not been born, but it is not too clingy. If you don't invite the doctor to have a look, no one will be responsible for the safety of the young concubine!" Lan Ruoyan said indifferently and turned away.
Looking at Lan Ruoyan's back, Shaofei bit her lip, "Lan Ruoyan!"
"Madam, the imperial concubine bullies too much!" Luo'er is not flat.
"Now the prince spoils her, so she dares to be so lawless!" Liu Yuying gritted her teeth and said, "One day she will suffer!" Looking back at the direction of Songtang in the distance, she secretly swore in her heart that she would be able to take back everything that belonged to her!
At lunch, Lan Ruoyan returned to Lanxin Pavilion. Biyun waited for her at the door for a long time. Finally, she came back and immediately stepped forward and said, "Mother, you are back!" I still took it for you--
