It was an ordinary day in the eighth year of Jianxuan. However, Shen Lin got into trouble on that day.
"What is this?" I looked at the small porcelain bottle in my hand and asked Shen Lin.
" Jing Yi asked me to concoct the medicine," Shen Lin said." She wanted Master to take a look."”
Lan Shan raised her eyebrows. What kind of medicine is so cautious?"
" We do need to be careful." Shen Lin smiled and gestured from afar." It's used in the palace."”
Hearing that, Shen Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He quickly instructed me,""Just give it to Master directly. Don't open it.”
The corners of my mouth curled up as I sneered,"Is it that important?" Are you concocting poison?"
" Isn't it about time? It's not good for your health." Shen Lin was still gentle and added," Especially for girls."”
" Let me take a look." Before I could ask further, Lan Shan took the porcelain bottle. Recently, she had been obsessed with making drugs. She was interested and asked Shen Lin," Who is he going to deal with again? Why did he go through so much trouble?"?”
Before Shen Lin could say anything, Lan Shan had already pulled out the stopper of the porcelain bottle. Soon, a faint fragrance floated out. It was so faint that it could not be ignored. It was very special and made me vaguely familiar.
"The taste is so special…" he sighed.
" Yes." Shen Lin nodded and frowned slightly." I wanted to get rid of the smell, but I couldn't find a suitable substitute, so I came to ask Master to take a look."”
Lanshan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said,""What effect does this thing have on women?”
While Shen Lin was stunned, I interrupted,""It can't be something that can keep one's appearance and beauty-"
As she said that, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Shen Lin in surprise and saw him nod."It's for birth control."
"What if she's already pregnant?"”
" You can't even keep a child within three months of conception." Perhaps Shen Lin realized something was wrong and added," It's important to know which family the eldest son is born in. Jing Yi can't be blamed for being cruel."”
"He's standing in that position, so there's no harm in being a little cruel."”
Shen Lin was relieved. He said," To prevent any mishaps, I'll have to trouble you to take a look at Master. I have something to do now."”
" There's no need to show it to him. This medicine is not wrong." Lan Shan was silent for a moment and smiled faintly." But there's no need to waste time. This fragrance can't be removed."”
Shen Lin was stunned." Master's wife also knows about this."
" It's okay, you can go back," Lan Shan interrupted him and turned to walk into the house. She then instructed me," Luoying, send him out."”
After Shen Lin left, I slowly walked back. I was a little confused. Compared to Shen Lin, I knew Lanshan better and was more used to observing. In my opinion, Lanshan's smile just now contained too much emotion. Although it was fleeting, I could still see that it was forced and resentful. From afar, I saw Tang Jie walk into Lanshan's courtyard. Suddenly, my heart flashed and I was shocked.
When I was six years old, Lanshan was pregnant. She had a miscarriage and never had another child. Tang Jie only said that her Qi and blood had rushed because of her internal energy, so she could not keep the child and was not easily pregnant. After so many years, Lanshan had already accepted her fate. If it was not for the medicine that Shen Lin took out just now, I might not have remembered. That fragrance was clearly the smell of Tang Jie and Lanshan's bedroom!
I rarely went to their dormitory, and the only time or two I was sent away by Tang Jie very quickly. Now that I think about it, could it be that Lanshan called me Luoying just now? She never called me that when there were no outsiders.
She immediately became anxious and ran towards the courtyard.
However, it was still too late. When I flew past the courtyard at an extremely fast speed and jumped into the house, I only heard a small but clear sound. The small porcelain bottle shattered at Tang Jie's feet. A light fragrance immediately filled the room. Lan Shan raised a sword and stabbed at Tang Jie.
I didn't know what the two of them had said in that short period of time, but everything happened too quickly. I was a step too late and didn't have time to stop them.
A city lord who had roamed the martial world for many years could easily avoid or subdue such a sword that had lost its calm and order. However, he did not move. He did not even try to dodge. He only looked at her with a gaze that was mixed with guilt and complicated emotions. Then, he did not make a sound and let the scarlet sword pierce through his chest.
It was accompanied by a sad and despairing voice."Why did you do that-"
Seeing Tang Jie being pressed against the wall by Lanshan's sword, I quickly rushed over to pull Lanshan."YiNiang, you-"
Lan Shan's body trembled violently as she glared at Tang Jie, as if waiting for him to say something. Tang Jie closed his eyes slightly, opened his mouth, and said with difficulty,""I'm sorry."
"Master! Don't talk!"
I was shocked that Tang Jie still dared to speak. Who doesn't know that when a sword pierces through the chest, the first thing that can't keep up is the aura. One must immediately raise their aura to protect the heart meridian to be saved. He actually dispersed his aura to speak. Is he crazy?
Besides, whether it was an explanation or a cover-up, what Lanshan wanted was a reason. He had risked his life to say sorry, but it would not help at all. It would only infuriate Lanshan even more.
As expected, Lanshan's face instantly turned even paler. Her expression became ferocious as hatred surged into her eyes. She didn't say anything and pushed me away, pretending to pull out the sword.
I was shocked when I saw this. If I pulled out the sword now, would Tang Jie still be alive?
He could not care less about anything else and immediately went to block Lanshan. In a moment of desperation, he naturally picked up his most powerful move and forced Lanshan to let go of her sword with one move. He stood in front of Tang Jie and shouted at Lanshan,"YiNiang, calm down. Do you really want him to die?”
"Get out of the way!" Lan Shan picked up Tang Jie's sword from the table and slashed at him." He killed my child. I want him dead!"”
I narrowly dodged a move and was forced to use the Dark Night Parry in my hand. Although I often fought with Lan Shan, I had never faced her with true killing intent. She didn't care, but I didn't dare to hurt her. Seeing that Tang Jie couldn't hold on any longer and slowly slid down, I was extremely anxious. I hoped that someone would appear to help, but I was also worried that someone would come and see this scene. If word got out, it would be a huge matter.
After a dozen moves, we were in a stalemate until we were almost stabbed by Lanshan's sword. I knew that the three of us wouldn't have a good ending if this continued, so I finally decided to go all out and turn defense into offense. I used my rich inner qi and exquisite sword techniques to the extreme. In a few moves, I took the initiative and gained the upper hand.
Actually, it wasn't that my skills were stronger than Lan Shan's, but that her mind was already in a mess, and her moves were in a mess. The room wasn't spacious, and she wasn't used to Tang Jie's long sword, nor was she able to use it well. This allowed me to rely on my decisiveness and lucidity, as well as Dark Night's exquisite flexibility, to win.
Taking advantage of the fact that Lanshan was forced to retreat and lose her balance, I pounced on her and snatched her sword away."Aunt!"
Lan Shan stood in place and looked at me, seeming to calm down a little. After a while, she slowly turned her head to look at Tang Jie.
At this moment, Tang Jie's chest was already bleeding, and he was a little weak. The two of them looked at each other and did not speak.
I looked at the two of them and didn't dare to act rashly. I just gently put away the Dark Night.
Lanshan's tears finally fell. She only cried and didn't speak. After a while, she slowly walked towards Tang Jie. I hurriedly moved forward to stop him, but Tang Jie raised a hand to me, indicating that I shouldn't go over.
Lanshan walked very slowly. From my angle, I couldn't see her eyes. I could only see Tang Jie looking up at her with a gentle and sad gaze.
When she finally reached Tang Jie, Lan Shan squatted down and placed her hand on Tang Jie's outstretched hand. She cried even more sadly, her back trembling so much that it made one's heart ache. Tang Jie could no longer speak at this moment. He could only let Lan Shan hold his hand tightly.
After a while, she heard Lanshan's voice.""Yanyan, you've already learned it."
She didn't turn her head when she spoke and continued to look at Tang Jie. This made me feel a little terrified and stammered,"YiNiang-"
" Go out and do something big. Let the world know the name Luoying." Her tone was calm, and it didn't sound like she had cried." From now on, Qingcheng and Jingyi will be your responsibility."”
I was stunned. I didn't expect my dream to come true so suddenly at such a moment. I didn't know if it was true or not. I couldn't see Lanshan's face. Tang Jie didn't look at me either. He just looked at her with the same expression. Lanshan slowly pulled her hand out. Tang Jie was slightly anxious but couldn't hold her.
Just as I was in a daze, Lanshan stood up and lowered her head to say to Tang Jie,""If you die today, I will die to accompany you. If you don't die, I will do my best to kill you in the future.”
When I came back to my senses and realized what Lan Shan was going to do, she had already pulled out the sword that had pierced Tang Jie's chest.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
