"The pain is too severe, go and call the prince-in-law over." Jimo Ran said.
Soon someone came to report, "I heard that something happened to the Ji family. Mrs. Ji fell down. At this time, the consort has returned to the Ji family, but he only went back for a look. Don't worry, princess, the consort will be back soon."
Jimo Ran was sweating profusely. He was shaking with pain and said with red eyes, "Where is father? Where is father?"
"The Duke was called over by His Majesty, saying that he was conducting a thorough investigation into the assassination in the palace last time."
"Master Ji is here."
Jimo Ran had hope in his eyes, "Is it brother Liyou?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji heard that the princess's delivery was not going well and came here in a hurry."
"Mr. Wen is here too?"
"Yes, princess, just don't worry. I heard that the gentleman has superb medical skills, and there are all royal doctors here. Don't worry, princess, everything will be fine."
The midwife said, "The princess is showing signs of dystocia now, so it's better to call the royal doctor in urgently."
After he finished speaking, five or six imperial doctors came in.
Jimo Ran looked at the unfamiliar faces and suddenly panicked, "Call Brother Liyou and Mr. Wen to come over."
The maid hurriedly called.
Ji Liyou walked in calmly and said, "Ran Ran, don't be afraid."
Just saying "don't be afraid" reassured her.
"Sir is outside. If you are not born in a moment, I will ask him to come in."
Ran Ran held his hand and asked, "Brother Shanjing, why did you go back?"
"He is the head of the family. He has to take care of whatever happens to the Ji family. Don't blame Ran Ran."
"Of course I don't blame him, I'm just a little scared."
"Every woman will go through this. It's because you were too nervous that the baby didn't come out."
"Really?"
"Yes, please relax, use your strength, and don't yell. How can you give birth if you run out of strength?"
Jimo Ran closed his mouth.
Another stick of incense passed, but the child still wasn't born. Jimo Ran's face was as pale as paper, and she held Ji Liyou's hand and asked, "Brother Liyou, are you really going to be okay?"
"Wait a minute, I'll ask the gentleman to come in."
"Okay..." She cried in pain and fell on the pillow.
Ji Liyou held her hand and said, "It will be fine soon."
"Brother Liyou, I'm lucky to have you."
The imperial doctor wanted to step forward to use the needle for Princess Tangshuo, but Ji Liyou stopped her.
"Ran Ran can do it."
"Right, Ran Ran?"
"But... Brother Liyou, it hurts so much... It hurts so much..."
She was sweating profusely, waiting for Mr. Wen to come in and save her.
After waiting for a long time, Mr. Wen arrived. He walked up to Jimo Ran, felt his pulse, and said to Ji Liyou, "It's almost done."
The doctors realized something was wrong and rushed forward to take care of Princess Tangshuo.
Ji Liyou suddenly said, "You are members of the royal family, remember it clearly."
The imperial doctor was confused and paused for a moment.
"His Majesty has issued a decree, stand down!"
Seeing that he indeed took out His Majesty's token, the imperial doctor was confused. In front of him was the dying Princess Tangshuo who was having difficulty giving birth, and on the other side was His Majesty's handwriting.
When Ji Liyou washed his face early in the morning, he thought of the nightmare he had last night.
Always worried.
The storyteller looked at the dark color in his eyes and said, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
"I seem to be having nightmares."
"What nightmare?" He looked at the fallen flowers in the yard and thought it was time to sweep them away.
Ji Liyou told him that the dream he had was just like the past, when he and Jimo Ran were playing by the stream in the mountains.
They chased butterflies, picked wild flowers, and washed their feet in mountain streams. The morning glow dyed the stream red and the blue waves rippled slightly.
The storyteller pointed at his nose, "And you said you have no interest in her?"
Ji Liyou said, "Can you continue to listen to me?"
In the stream, there are all kinds of wonderful and pleasing stones embedded in the water, such as pearls, emeralds, and gems, forming underwater treasures.
He jumped into the water and picked up the most beautiful gem. Ran Ran said it was really beautiful, so he gave it to her.
Jimo Ran held the gem in his hand and said, "The clouds in the sky are extremely beautiful, but they are the easiest to dissipate. In short, everything is an illusion."
Suddenly, Jimo Ran's heart burst open. She stuffed the gem into the wound and said, "My heart is missing, and I just need something to repair it."
When he opened his eyes, there was no trace of Jimo Ran in broad daylight.
Ji Liyou's hand pressed tightly on the storyteller's hand, "Will something happen to Ran Ran?"
The storyteller's mind was racing: "How...how could it be...there are imperial doctors in the palace, Ji Shanjing and her father...you don't have to panic...women giving birth are naturally dangerous..."
Jimo Ran frowned and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Ji Liyou" in front of him smiled and continued: "The princess has done her best for the Jimo family. It's a pity for the child in her belly..."
"What's a pity?"
The man smiled like a flower and called her again: "Princess."
The dagger in her hand pierced into her heart, cutting her heart open.
After counting, the man said, "It is indeed the Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures."
The carriage entered a woods and Wei Lang said: "It's windy, I'm afraid it will rain. Let's spend the night in the woods."
The girl in white got out of the car, "You just want to delay, right?"
He was helpless, "I didn't."
"Wei Lang, you've been waiting for a long time. Could it be that she won't leave until she gives birth to you?"
The fragrance brought by the night wind, the chirping of insects in the woods, and the chirping of birds seemed to be performing a requiem in unison. Somehow, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. It must have been because he had been tense during these years in the Southern Wei Dynasty. I was exhausted, so I relaxed more after seeing her. I felt relaxed and soon fell asleep.
I slept without even a single dream until dawn.
He opened his eyes, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves. There was silence in the forest. He said, "I want to go back."
The girl in white clothes drove the car, ignored his words, and asked with a smile: "You woke up, how did you sleep last night?"
Wei Lang has a dusty look, and there is still some dust on the corners of his clothes and temples. He has not wiped them clean, but it still can't hide his charming face. He himself didn't notice it at all, but the girl in white was complacent. Wei Lang was like a A flower that has sucked blood, the more it is slaughtered, the more cruel it is, the more beautiful it becomes.
The girl in white took good care of him, but he was still uneasy, always worried that something had gone wrong during Jimo Ran's delivery.
It was a sunny day, and a green mountain range could be seen in the distance.
Seeing that he finally stopped talking about Liangzhu, the girl in white said, "There happens to be a roadside wine shop in front of us, let's go in and have something to eat."
While waiting, I suddenly heard a guest sitting next to me pounding the table and shouting: "Is there really such a strange thing? The Ji family's martial arts are not weak. Jimo is a royal family, how could such a thing happen?"
Wei Lang was suddenly startled and his heart was shocked. He saw two rough-looking men talking about the Jimo family.
The restaurant was as noisy as a pot of boiling water. People were excited, and the waiters crowded over to them, asking questions.
One guest said: "Yes, I heard that a blue star fell last night." This person was a regular customer who lived in a nearby village.
This place is not too far away from Liangzhu, so major events that happened in Liangzhu naturally spread here.
Someone quickly asked: "Hey, I heard that Princess Tangshuo is a good person. She also used medicine to save people and built porridge sheds with her father. My father's asthma was cured by the medicine given by Duke Yang."
The rough man shook his head, sighed, and said repeatedly: "Oh, it's so miserable! It's so miserable!"
The audience felt as if a big stone was weighing on their hearts, and they all asked: "How cruel is it?"
"One corpse, two lives. Suddenly there were Donghu assassins during the birth. Now it is really not peaceful. The Donghu people are the most ruthless. They actually dug out the princess's heart while the princess was giving birth. The poor child also died tragically in the belly."
"Are you from Donghu? So bold?"
The man added: "Not only is the princess dead, but Yang Guogong was summoned to the palace by His Majesty. I don't know what happened that day. He fell near the imperial garden and fell into the water. The person who rescued him was already dead. "
Hearing this, someone couldn't help shouting: "Where has the consort gone? The princess is giving birth, and how dare he not accompany her outside the room?"
Others said: "Yes, the consort and the Ji family, are the doctors in the palace dead?"
"They were all killed. None of the midwives, doctors, and maids present survived."
The man who slapped the table before asked: "All the servants in the Ji family know martial arts, how can they be killed so easily?"
The man said: "It's unbelievable to say that there are only two Donghu people here, and the thief has not been caught yet."
Surprises, lamentations, angry curses, and rebuttals due to doubts abounded. Someone asked: "How do you know? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The man said: "I have a relative who lives two streets across from the princess's house. He told me this. I don't have to hide it from you. Liangzhu City is making a fuss about this matter. Everyone says they want to kill the Donghu thieves to avenge the princess. ."
When the girl in white heard this, her heart was definitely not as frightened as the others. But she was not frightened by Jimo Ran's death. When she turned her head to look for Wei Lang, she could no longer see him.
"Damn it!" She cursed and led the horse back towards Liangzhu.
After the cries of everyone calmed down a little, Ji Shanjing scrubbed the princess's body clean.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the princess's house. The laughter was extremely terrifying. It was not like human laughter, but the laughter of devils released from hell.
Ji Shanjing's heart was shocked, he knew who was coming.
But without his intervention, Ji Liyou would naturally solve the matter.
As soon as they heard the sharp sound of the sword piercing the air, everyone in the Princess Mansion was so frightened that their legs were weak and they could not stand steadily.
Ji Liyou's figure swayed and circled, holding the long sword in his hand.
Backhand sent back.
Ji Liyou stood in front of the princess's house and stared at Wei Lang. He knew he would come, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly and yet so late.
Could this be Ran Ran's fate
Ji Liyou didn't believe in destiny, but after many experiences, he gradually came to believe that it was actually too difficult for man to defeat nature, and that fate had already written everyone's ending.
"Wei Lang." Ji Li said worriedly.
"I want to see her."
"You go, it will be too late if you don't leave."
"Liyou... I just... want to see her..." he stammered.
"You know, you can't see her anymore, never again." Ji Liyou's eyes were sore.
"Why can't you see me?" he asked knowingly, as if he didn't believe it at all.
Ji Liyou used all his strength and said slowly, "She is dead."
"How did you die?"
"Difficult labor."
"lie!"
"If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Ji Liyou, anyone can lie to me, but you can't!"
"The person is already dead, why bother asking."
"Yes, people are dead... dead, but there is nothing left. I want to find the mermaid beads and look for An Ye again." Wei Lang said.
Ji Liyou shook his head, "By the time you find it, it will be too late."
"You can live again, why can't she!" Wei Lang roared.
"Because... she has no heart..."
"You are a good person, how could you lose your heart?"
Ji Liyou couldn't hold back her tears in the end, "Don't ask anymore, I will find out what happened to her, and you can leave as soon as possible."
The Southern Wei soldiers quickly surrounded the place.
"Let's go!" Ji Liyou pushed him before they got close.
Wei Lang turned around and held Ji Liyou's throat in his hand, and said to the Southern Wei people, "Get out of here, or I'll kill him."
The soldiers of the Southern Wei Dynasty smiled and said, "Your Majesty's decree, the Donghuan thieves sneaked into Liangzhu. If you get a piece of his clothes, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. If you get a piece of his skin, you will be rewarded with thousands of taels of gold. Mr. Ji is being held hostage now. If he dies in In the hands of thieves, it can be regarded as being loyal to His Majesty."
Hundreds of forbidden troops came at Wei Lang together.
Ji Liyou pushed him back and whispered, "Leave the courtyard."
As soon as Wei Lang let go of him, the Southern Wei army followed Wei Lang into the princess's mansion.
Ji Shanjing held Ran Ran's body in his arms, as if she just fell asleep.
He covered her empty heart, fearing that the wind would get in, and she lost a lot of blood. When he arrived, the bed was covered with blood, and even the blood from the corners of the quilt was dripping down the legs of the bed. Fortunately, her face Be clean.
But the face had lost its color due to excessive blood loss.
Ji Shanjing kissed her forehead and said, "Does it hurt?"
Ran Ran couldn't answer him, but she did cry out in pain countless times, but no one answered her, just like now when he asked her, no one answered.
Wei Lang opened the door and stared blankly at Jimo Ran in his arms, but he didn't dare to step forward.
Suddenly, a severe pain pierced his heart. He stayed at the door, as if he had forgotten the pursuers behind him.
For a moment, Wei Lang seemed to be crazy and stepped forward to take Jimo Ran's body away.
Ji Shanjing's eyes were blood red, "Get away!"
"Give her back to me, please?" Wei Lang said hoarsely.
"Ran Ran told me not to be your enemy. I don't want to kill you today." Ji Shanjing was very tired.
He held Ran Ran's hand so gently, put his face against her cold forehead, and sang in a low voice. She insisted on learning this song, saying that when the child was born, he could coax the child to sleep to prevent the child from sleeping. Always bothering her to sleep. His voice was filled with tears, and he couldn't sing anything at the end. After all, he couldn't protect the little girl he wanted to marry from the first moment he saw her.
He stood like that in front of the two people who had been together in this life and death, watching them still love each other, life after life, it seemed that no one could ever separate them.
The sharp blade behind him stabbed his back, and he felt another kind of pain, which gradually made him wake up.
She died, but he still had to live.
