Lan Ruoyi stayed at home to sort out her thesis. She was preparing to choose Jinglan's royal tomb as her graduation topic. Because she knew that Ye Chen did not like her to study in this area, she could only take advantage of his absence to start writing.
She had collected a lot of information about the dynasty and found that the petal mark did not appear in any books. She called the professor, who was very surprised.
"Yiyi, I didn't see any petal markings. Where did you see that? Is there a mistake?"
" Is there a mistake?" Lan Ruoyi stared at the mark on the paper and narrowed her eyes.
"Maybe, Professor. Sorry to bother you.”
Professor Zhang smiled."It's nothing. You have to prepare your thesis. If you have any ideas, let me know. Your senior is also here. If you have time, come to school in the afternoon for a meeting. I'm worried about you being a girl.”
Lan Ruoyi nodded. She remembered that she was not in front of the professor and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, I'll look for you in the teaching and research room in the afternoon.”
After hanging up the phone, Lan Ruoyi's heart felt empty. She laid on the bed and drew the mark, as if it had been completely imprinted in her heart. She turned over and lay down on her arm as she thought. She felt that the patterns on the ceiling were all those petals.
Butler Li still did not see her go out, so he could not help but knock on the door.
"Mistress, are you still there?"
Lan Ruoyi got up, rubbed her glabella, and shouted at the door. She hurriedly packed her things and went to school. Although it was a little early, he could go to the library to look for information.
If the professor didn't know about this mark, someone must have shown it to him on purpose. Not to mention that she was too suspicious, there were too many strange things around her, so she had to be more careful.
When she went downstairs, Butler Li floated to her side with a glass of milk in his hand. Lan Ruoyi was used to all kinds of weirdos at home. She took the milk and thanked him with a smile.
"Butler Li, I'm going to school. When Ye Chen comes back, help me tell him. I might be back a little late, so don't worry.”
"Yes."
The campus was exceptionally quiet during the weekend. Walking on the tree-lined road, one could only see a few young couples exchanging feelings. Lan Ruoyi followed the path to the library, feeling very uneasy.
The location of the library was relatively remote. There was a lotus pond in front of it, surrounded by trees, and the environment was particularly quiet.
Lan Ruoyi stood there for a while until the sun rose before she walked into the library. Meng Zhihuan greeted her when she bumped into someone familiar.
"Yiyi, you're here early. Are you looking for information?”
Lan Ruoyi nodded." Senior, the professor just mentioned you on the phone."”
"Is that so? What information do you need?" Meng Zhihuan patted her shoulder. Lan Ruoyi felt uncomfortable and moved away. She quietly retreated a distance and smiled as she went to the information room with him.
"I want to find the history books of the Jinglan Dynasty.”
Meng Zhihuan nodded." Go over and sit down first. I'll find one for you."”
Lan Ruoyi found a seat and sat down. The sunlight near the window was just nice. She inadvertently glanced outside and saw a man in black in a daze. The man made a gesture at her.
Lan Ruoyi stood up abruptly, but the man disappeared. She lowered her head and looked at her open palm. A large word for the underworld was faintly discernible.
"Yiyi, the book you wanted." Meng Zhihuan walked over and found that she was deep in thought, so he called out softly. Lan Ruoyi turned her head stiffly. Her eyes were filled with confusion and she didn't know what to do. When she regained consciousness, she immediately retracted her hand and placed it behind her back in a panic. " Oh, that. Thank you, senior."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I haven't." Lan Ruoyi shook her head awkwardly and took the ancient book without saying anything.
The book seemed to be very old. On the cover were the words 'Dynasty Records.' Lan Ruoyi caressed the page. She had a feeling that the consequences would be unimaginable if she opened it.
Meng Zhihuan saw her reaction. He narrowed his eyes and knocked on the table." I've never seen this book before. I don't know if there's anything you need."”
"Eh?" Lan Ruoyi looked adorable when she raised her head. She blinked her big eyes and looked very cute. Meng Zhihuan couldn't help but laugh. "You read your book. I'll leave first. My roommate has something to do.”
"Okay, see you later, senior."
Meng Zhihuan got up and walked out. Lan Ruoyi waved at him until the senior disappeared. She looked away and thought about something.
Lan Ruoyi braced herself and flipped open the cover. The contents written with the brush appeared on the paper. Lan Ruoyi read it bit by bit and found that the contents were all nonsense. After an unknown period of time, she saw the petal mark and a corner of her heart instantly collapsed.
She placed her hand on the mark, and a powerful light burst out from her palm. The word " Dark " was like a seal, piercing Lan Ruoyi's eyes.
Lan Ruoyi seemed to have lost consciousness, and the voice in her ears became chaotic. She stood on the altar, and the deafening cries of thousands of ghosts lingered in her ears.
Lan Ruoyi retreated and fell to the ground. Strange and unfamiliar faces flashed past her eyes. She widened her eyes in horror and clenched her hands, unable to say a word.
"Mo Li, did you see that? Your so-called love is built on blood. Have you not realized it yet?”
Love? Fresh blood?
Tears rolled down Lan Ruoyi's face, but she was unwilling to accept such an explanation. That's right. They forced me to do everything. I didn't do it.
"No, it wasn't me."
"Haha, wake up. You have to pay for your own sins.”
What did I do? Impossible. Lan Ruoyi hugged her head and tried to ignore the voices in her ears, as if they wanted to eat her.
Ye Chen, save me.
Lan Ruoyi did not forget Ye Chen's words. Only calmness could conquer everything.
Ye Chen's heart ached. The distress message on his palm was clearly flashing. He immediately disappeared to save her.
"Yiyi, don't be afraid."
Lan Ruoyi sat in front of the altar. She couldn't help but put her hands together and mutter something.
Behind her was a pillar, and as she spoke, the pillar cracked bit by bit. Lan Ruoyi closed her eyes tightly and frowned.
"Yiyi, I'm with you. Don't be afraid.”
Lan Ruoyi seemed to have heard Ye Chen's words. She suddenly opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ye, Ye Chen."
"How dare you come and ruin my plans? You deserve to die."
Ye Chen appeared on the altar with a long sword in his hand. Lan Ruoyi stood up with her hand on her chest and staggered toward him. Every step was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Ye Chen could not tell if this was an illusion or reality. When Lan Ruoyi walked in front of her, Ye Chen raised his sword and stabbed her in the chest.
"Ah, Ah Li."
"I've never betrayed you, and I don't regret my choice.”
Lan Ruoyi smiled bitterly and disappeared in a flash. Ye Chen's eyes were red, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the knife.
" Ye Chen, Ye Chen, save me."
Ye Chen suddenly turned around. Lan Ruoyi fell to the ground with blood flowing from her chest. She smiled and closed her eyes.
