On the night of the Lantern Festival, Liangzhu City was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was very lively. A stage was set up in the palace, and people around it were the emperor's relatives. A stand was set up next to the stage, and the emperor and his concubines accompanied the queen mother on the stand. Watch.
The Queen Mother was very happy with these acrobatics. Whenever she saw something that made her happy, she would ask people to reward them with money.
Five people in costumes and facial makeup appeared on the stage, not acting, but performing acrobatics.
Jimo Ran was sitting with several princesses. A little princess stroked her belly and said with a smile, "Is this a little brother or a little sister?"
Jimo Ran smiled, "I don't know yet. When he comes out, how about you come to my house and play with him?"
Hello to all the princesses and princesses.
The man on the stage jumped up with a water bowl on his head and a water bowl in each hand. He tilted slightly, and water splashed out of the three water bowls, indicating that the bowls were full of water.
I saw him throwing two water bowls into the air with both hands, and then catching the water bowls in mid-air. There was no leakage from the bowls of water above his head.
Broken silver rained down on the stage, and there was a tinkling sound, mixed with the cheers of the crowd.
Today, only the relatives of the Jimo family entered the palace. Ji Shanjing was restless beside the consorts. Looking from a distance, Jimo Ran didn't look good because of morning sickness.
In the midst of the excitement, I saw a white light in front of the man, as fast as lightning, flying straight towards His Majesty. It turned out that a sharp dagger was wrapped in the sideshow.
The emperor was already doubtful and on guard. When the assassin attacked, he saw the emperor's body quickly darting into the crowd of concubines. The dagger made two noises and passed through the concubine's shoulder. Immediately, there were screams of terror and the concubines were in chaos. group.
At this moment, Ji Shanjing stood up quickly and flew towards the stands like a bird.
Ji Shanjing's kung fu was good, and he pierced the assassin's heart with one sword.
Just when His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief, the wound on the assassin's heart did not affect his movements at all. He seemed to be unable to feel the pain and rushed towards His Majesty again.
Ji Shanjing was so anxious that he flashed his long sword in the air like a dragon, and immediately cut off the assassin's arm.
The assassin remained expressionless and continued to attack the emperor like a corpse. The concubines were frightened and his majesty turned pale.
When the Imperial Guard caught up and chopped the assassin into mincemeat, the corpse stopped moving, but the flesh and blood on the ground was still trembling, and His Majesty almost spit out the drink he had just drank.
In the blink of an eye, a man walked out from the Queen Mother's side, jumped up the railing, and came to His Majesty's side. "Report to Your Majesty, this is a Yin soldier."
As he spoke, the flesh and blood on the ground solidified again and was about to transform into a human form.
The emperor took half a step back, and the man raised his copper coin sword, as fast as lightning, with one move and two moves, and suddenly passed through the flesh and blood, and saw only the black air surrounding the place, and the sound of the whistling wind. The man's sword moved diagonally, and a He spun and ran towards the assassin's Kanhuo Lishui cave. When he withdrew his palm, his flesh and blood immediately turned into ashes, but this time they could no longer be gathered together.
The emperor's eyes twitched wildly, "Is this Donghu's secret soldier?"
The man nodded and said, "It was these things that killed the people of Donghu Liangzhou until their hands and feet were broken, and their heads were bloody!"
The emperor was furious and sneered, "King Donghu wants to show me how powerful he is, ha..."
After saying that, his eyes turned to Princess Tangshuo.
After beckoning her forward, Ran Ran was also startled by the changes just now, and was still frightened at this moment.
Seeing His Majesty calling her forward, she stood up and saluted.
"Tang Shuo, do you think these thieves should be killed?"
Jimo Ran pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing her silence, Ji Liyou hurriedly explained, "The princess is frightened. Such a vicious gangster should naturally be dealt with quickly."
The emperor withdrew his gaze from her, turned to Ji Shanjing and said, "Ji Aiqing has done a great job in protecting her and deserves a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It is the duty of a minister to protect you. A humble minister does not ask for rewards."
"It has always been the rule of the Jimo family that rewards and punishments should be clear. If you have merit, you should be rewarded. How about... just reward the child in Tang Shuo's belly?"
Ji Shanjing quickly thanked him.
When the child was seven months old, Ran Ran was already physically handicapped, but she still couldn't stay in the house. When she had free time, she would put on some loose clothes and sneak out to play with the maid.
Although Ji Shanjing was helpless, he had no choice but to send someone to follow him. Jimo Ran disliked him for being verbose, but he didn't dare to let people follow him too closely. There were things going on in the DPRK and China every day, and he was incapable of doing anything else. He wished he could resign as soon as possible.
The day of Tanzanian Festival is also the birthday of the princess, but girls from the Jimo family are different from other girls. If a girl from the Jimo family is pregnant, the birthday must be avoided, so as to protect the health of the child in the womb. The birthday is On this day, no one can pray to her.
After getting off the carriage, the streets were full of people and Liangzhu was still prosperous.
Jimo Ran held the fox mask in his hand, covered his face and asked the maid, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good. The princess looks good in any mask she wears."
Ran Ran smiled and said, "I heard that there will be a magician tonight, but I don't know where he is."
A few people walked and played. Liangzhu's food was extremely delicious, but the maid did not dare to let the princess eat it. The prince-in-law had already ordered that except for the things from the princess's house, no food from outside could be touched.
No matter how much Ran Ran bought, she was still not allowed to eat. She sighed and gave the things to the maid behind her, "If you don't let me eat, you will do it for me."
After a while, the hands of several maids were filled with things and food that the princess wanted to buy.
A lot of incense was burned on Tantan Festival Street. From the street to the end of the street, when all the incense was lit together, smoke filled everywhere, like a heavenly palace.
Ran Ran suddenly stood still.
The maid noticed something was wrong with the princess, so she stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
She was stunned when she looked at the figure of a person not far away.
Slender waist, narrow shoulders, red rope on wrist.
Before the maids could react, the princess disappeared from their side. The person who came moved too quickly, and they actually watched as the princess was taken away.
When he looked again, the princess was already ten steps away.
She said loudly, "You guys wait for me here first. I'll be back soon. There's no need to look for guards."
After saying that, he disappeared into the crowd and no one was seen. The remaining maids were in a panic.
He let go of her hand.
Jimo Ran looked around hurriedly, and when he saw no one was following him, he turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"
He pointed to her belly, "How many months?"
Ran Ran knew what he meant, "Seven months... has nothing to do with you."
Both of them fell into an awkward silence, just like a careless kiss in the world of Jambudvipa.
"Did you send the Yin soldiers to the palace?"
Wei Lang's eyebrows moved, "Did you see it?"
"Your Majesty is furious, please take care of yourself."
"I don't care whether the Emperor of Southern Wei is angry or not. Did Ji Shanjing make things difficult for you?"
Jimo Ran lowered his head, "How could he do it... It's just you... Don't do this again..."
His nose was sore.
"Brother Liyou said, you may have misunderstood me. I drew the drawings correctly, but I didn't give them to anyone. They were in the hands of brother Shanjing because he found them on me after I passed out. If you ask me, If you give me another chance, will I draw it again? I think I won't. The Southern Wei Dynasty can fight Donghu openly and honestly. I don't need that kind of method at all... And... I have never thought of hurting Anmuda, never, She is my best friend. Like you, you are my friends outside the royal family. I will never hurt you, but Anmuda's death... I can't escape the relationship. I won't kill Boren, Boren But she died because of me. If I had been one step earlier, maybe she would not have died. Maybe I could have protected her. Even if I threatened the Southern Wei soldiers with the name of Princess Tangshuo, I would not let them kill Anmuda. …”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Lang quietly.
She admitted that she really hated him and was disappointed in him in the days before and after the wedding. She would never have thought that Wei Lang would treat her like this.
She even wanted to kill him.
But when she relied on her father to feel wronged, she thought of Anmuda and the high priest. The high priest did want to kill her, but it was undeniable that the eyes of the high priest when he looked at Anmuda were full of maternal love.
Wei Lang grew up with the high priest and Anmuda. They were his family. In a war, all his family members died.
After that he was alone.
She thought about how she would live without her father and brothers and sisters in the world. When she was sad, when she was unwilling, when she was wandering and confused, home would always be a place she could go back to.
But Wei Lang lost his family, and the Southern Wei people broke into the grassland and destroyed everything he had.
Wei Lang laughed, he smiled wildly, and when Ran Ran took off his mask, he saw red circles under his eyes.
Anmuda never told her that Wei Lang was a crybaby.
"Wei Lang—" She stepped forward to take off his mask, but suddenly thought that this was Liangzhu, and it might be safer for him to wear a mask.
"You cried?"
He said nothing.
"Are you going to see brother Liyou?"
He shook his head.
"Then what are you doing here, spying on military intelligence?"
He thought he suddenly understood a problem.
Why on earth would he hurt her as a man
Maybe he knew it from the beginning to the end, or maybe from the middle, he no longer loved Ji Liyou.
Otherwise, why would he not care about Ji Liyou's life or death on the battlefield? He only regarded him as his opponent and true friend. But for Ran Ran, it was different after all.
He has put up with her too many times, he knows all her secrets, her weaknesses, and her preferences.
He also knows how to humiliate her and make her hate her more than killing her.
Why, he didn't understand until now.
Jimo Ran pushed his shoulder, "I'm not angry with you anymore, are you still angry with me?"
Wei Lang avoided her hand. He could no longer be touched by her. Whenever he thought about what he had done to her, he felt guilty. He didn't even want to hear her voice.
How is what he did different from the original Ijige
He thought he would never become like him, but in fact, his viciousness and cruelty had long been exactly the same as him.
Ijige died, but something was engraved into his bones. He actually learned those dirty methods and despicable things perfectly.
Wei Lang took off the cat mask.
He grew a light beard and looked more mature.
But Ran Ran felt that he was still the boy who quarreled with her on the grassland. His eyes were still as sincere as a child's, and his long hair was blown up by the wind, still as soft and black, as delicate as a woman.
He is so young and beautiful that he does not look like the king of Donghu, but he looks like a young man full of vitality.
"Don't grow a beard, it's weird."
"After my father died, it was time for me to grow a beard," he said.
"Do you have a father?" Ran Ran was not afraid of offending him.
"No, but I have a master. If the master dies, it's time for me to save."
This time Ran Ran fell silent.
"Just a few more words and I'll leave soon."
"Go back to Donghu?"
"Um."
"As soon as possible, it's very dangerous here."
"If I die here, the Jimo family will save a lot of trouble."
"I don't want to see you die. If you die, you should die on the battlefield or in Donghu. Don't die in front of my eyes."
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Like a damaged water leak, it drips and stops.
"I happen to be going to see brother Liyou, are you going to see him?"
"What should I say when I see him?" He smiled bitterly.
"You're not friends anymore?"
"Maybe still, it's just... we can't meet again. I can't meet him as Wei Lang. He is just a traitor."
"You know, brother Liyou doesn't think so."
"I'm not here to see him."
"Then you... came to see me?" She knew he would regret it.
His avoidant answer was the answer, "I hope you and Ji Shanjing will hold hands for the rest of their lives."
"nature."
"If he treats you badly, find more faces. I'm afraid you are the only princess in the Jimo family who doesn't have faces."
Jimo Ran frowned, "He is very good. I don't want anyone else but him."
In the calm of disappointment, he hesitated to speak.
"Are you leaving?" Ran Ran asked.
"I will leave, what do you urge me to do!"
"Wait a minute, I have something else to say to you."
"What?"
"Let's make peace." Ran Ran stretched out her hand.
He refused to pass his hand over.
"I apologized, but you didn't, but I know that you didn't say it, not because you didn't want to apologize, but because you didn't dare. You are a coward. I know very well that you were afraid that I would not forgive you, so you didn't dare to ask. My forgiveness." Ran Ran felt that she understood him well enough.
Jimo Ran reached out and took his hand, and the two high-fived him.
"We've made peace," she said.
Wei Lang turned around and walked away into the sea of people, saying nothing more.
By the time Jimo Ran arrived at the restaurant, Ji Liyou and the storyteller had already had a drink. Ran Ran sat down and said, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Ji Li worriedly said, "It's you who came late."
Ran Ran said, "I just met an old friend."
"Who is it?" Ji Liyou was shocked as soon as he said it, "Wei Lang?"
"Yes, I saw him on the street and said a few words."
"You still dare to see him?"
"He came to apologize, how could I refuse?"
"Jimo Ran, you..." Ji Liyou shook his head.
"Don't you want to see him?" the storyteller asked him.
"Why should I see him? Could it be that he wants to reminisce about old times?"
Ran Ran was helpless, "In the past, An Muda couldn't get involved in your relationship."
"You said it was before."
"Brother Liyou, why on earth do you want to break up with him?"
"Have you ever seen the dead people inside and outside Liangzhou? The corpses are scattered everywhere. When I saw him, he was still playing with his hands. I have never seen such an evil Wei Lang. He has already It has changed and I no longer recognize it.”
