Red Luan is wrapped in red cotton brocade and stands quietly in the courtyard, holding an oil-paper umbrella in its hand.
Standing next to Ye Ruochen was a woman she was familiar with. The woman had a cold face and a touch of alienation between her eyebrows. She hadn't seen her for a while, and her cold temperament added a lot, making people afraid to speak directly.
See.
Ye Ruochen didn't say a word from beginning to end, and she couldn't understand his emotions.
Bai Qiqian's expression was gloomy, her silver bow was clasped behind her back, and she stood with her hands behind her back.
Hong Luan understood that she came here today probably to take her life.
After going around and around and doing so many things, she still couldn't escape the fate. As Yun Yizi said back then, both she and her senior brother would die because of Jiu Wa. Originally, she didn't believe in fate.
Even though she knew there was such a thing as fate, she still wanted to change it.
Later, I realized that things like fate are really unpredictable.
For example, Ye Ruochen devoted his whole heart to Bai Qiqian, but in the end, he still couldn't win her heart.
Hong Luan is very unworthy of Ye Ruochen.
Then, she thought, she herself had given everything to Ye Ruochen, but he still had not fallen in love with her at all.
When Qiu Jin escaped, she sent people to follow Qiu Jin and secretly assassinate her. Later, she deliberately found someone to tell many things about Ye Liyuan in front of Qiu Jin and how he favored Bai Qiqian.
.
At that time, Qiu Jin was forced into desperation.
Finally, she changed into a hibiscus noodle, which was very similar to Bai Qiqian.
In the ten miles of woods, Ye Ruochen wants to kill Ye Liyuan, so as to take over the power from Ye Liyuan. In the future, he will rule the world, be able to claim the title of emperor, and win back beauties.
At that time, she found that she was a little jealous of Bai Qiqian.
If she had not leaked that information to Bai Qiqian, many things in the future would definitely not have happened.
Hongluan smiled bitterly, was she bringing all this on herself?
Bai Qiqian looked at her, her eyes as cold as frost and snow. Hong Luan knew that Bai Qiqian already knew everything. So, when she asked if she was behind all this, Hong Luan readily admitted it.
She thought Bai Qiqian would kill her, but Bai Qiqian just said quietly: "Hongluan, if it weren't for you..."
Bai Qiqian left before finishing the next words.
Hong Luan knew what she wanted to say. If it weren't for her, then Bai Qiqian would be so happy.
But, Bai Qiqian, do you understand how happy Ye Ruochen would be if it weren't for Ye Liyuan?
After Bai Qiqian left, Yun Yizi came to see her.
The master was still as elegant as a fairy. He looked at Hongluan suddenly: "Hongluan, the disaster in your life has been broken. However, the road of love will be difficult in the future."
Hong Luan asked in confusion: "Master, are you saying that I no longer need to die?"
Yun Yizi hit her on the head: "Who said you won't have to die in the future? Hongluan, everyone will pass away in the future."
Hongluan: “…………”
That winter, Ye Liyuan issued an imperial edict, and Ye Ruochen became the emperor who ruled the world.
Hong Luan was bitter. The throne they fought so hard for at the beginning, but now that they got it, they were not willing to sit on that position. The nine-layered pagoda, dominating the world, was never what he wanted.
Ye Ruochen said this to her: "In the whole world, all I want is her."
Hong Luan knew that Ye Ruochen had never put Bai Qiqian down.
And no matter how hard she tried, she could not get into his heart throughout her life.
You may not need any reasons to fall in love with someone, but there are thousands of reasons to reject someone.
It’s not that Hongluan doesn’t understand this truth, it’s just that he has never wanted to accept it.
Even if Ye Ruochen doesn't love her, she has always been by his side. Three years have passed since the two of them bumped into each other.
That year, Ye Liyuan and Bai Qiqian returned to the palace from the rivers and lakes. At that time, Bai Qiqian was already more than nine months pregnant and was about to give birth soon. And in the palace, the world's leading doctors were probably
Most of them are at the Imperial Medical Office.
Hong Luan often went to Bai Qiqian to chat. When the two women were together, the only things they talked about were about children.
Hongluan is also more than eight months pregnant.
In the evening, when Hong Luan returned to his palace, he felt extremely painful in his lower abdomen.
She knew that she was about to give birth, so she sent her confidant maid to call Ye Ruochen, but the maid told her that Bai Qiqian was also giving birth, and the emperor ordered all the imperial doctors to wait at Fangfei Hall.
Hong Luan waved the maid away and asked her to heat hot water for her.
She never liked excitement, so she dismissed all the servants in her palace, and finally only one person was left to take care of her.
Suddenly, only Hong Luan was left in the room, and the moonlight pouring down from the window lattice.
Hong Luan grabbed everything within reach and threw those things to the ground.
Finally, I curled up and endured the pain in my lower abdomen.
For the first time, Hong Luan was as scared as a child, staring blankly at the door, hoping to see the person coming in. Slowly, the pain in his eyes became more and more intense, and finally brewed into bitter tears.
.
Ye Ruochen, why do you still refuse to fall in love with me?
In the past three years, she has been by his side. In order to assist him, she raised dead soldiers, organized gangs, and assassinated stubborn courtiers in the court. Everything was for him.
Enduring the pain, she gave birth to a little boy.
That night, Hong Luan summoned his dead men and left the palace with his maid.
The blazing flames ended everything.
When Ye Ruochen rushed over, the palace was already in ruins.
His heart was in uncontrollable pain.
Ye Liyuan said softly from the side: "You and I are both like this. We always have to wait until we lose it before we know how to cherish it. Over the years, I have been thanking God for letting Qianqian return to my life.
around."
Ye Ruochen looked pale and just murmured: "She's just a woman, there's nothing to be sad about."
She is just one of his many women.
That night, the wind still whimpered, as if it was playing a sad music.
Hong Luan took her children to live in seclusion in the mountains and fields, and lived happily.
There is a bit of cinnabar between the child's eyebrows, which is enchanting and beautiful. The small outline can already give a glimpse of the evil allure in the future.
Four years later, when I think back to what happened back then, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Hongluan took the child's life for the sake of peace in the world. She hoped that the child would be happy for the rest of his life.
Shi'an is four years old, but he has never been to the Imperial City to play. He heard from his friends that the Imperial City is prosperous and lively, and there are many new and interesting things. The four-year-old child was full of curiosity, and on his birthday, he shouted
He took Hongluan to the imperial city.
Anning City, four years apart.
Hong Luan sighed and finally nodded.
That day happened to be the Lantern Festival, and Anning City was lively and prosperous.
Shi'an was dazzled by what he saw, looking left and right, and unknowingly, he was dispersed by the crowd.
In the crowded crowd, Hongluan called out Shi'an's name loudly. Time and again, but no one answered her.
Hong Luan searched frantically, going back and forth, but never saw Shi'an.
Just when she was slumped, a familiar voice came to her ears: "Are you looking for the child?"
Hong Luan raised his head and his eyes suddenly widened.
The man in front of her was still evil and elegant, and the grain of cinnabar between his eyebrows burned her heart like a flame. The emotions that had been dormant for many years poured out at this moment, and she felt a trance in her heart. She wanted to throw herself down on him.
into his arms, telling him that their son was separated.
Hongluan, what are you thinking about?
Hong Luan calmed down and spoke slowly: "Master, have you ever seen such a tall child with a little cinnabar between his eyebrows?"
Hong Luan said and gestured.
Ye Ruochen nodded: "I'll take you there."
A flash of surprise flashed in Hong Luan's eyes: "Thank you, sir."
She and him will become strangers in this life, which is good.
Hong Luan was even a little lucky that she had changed her appearance when she came out.
Shi'an was in the restaurant, holding a big chicken drumstick in his hand, and his mouth was full of oil.
When Shian saw Hongluan, he immediately dropped the chicken drumstick in his hand: "Mom, these uncles always ask me who my father is."
Hong Luan felt a sense of pain in her heart, and then said: "Didn't Mom tell you? You are the child that Mom picked up."
Ye Ruochen looked at the little man who was almost carved out of the same mold as himself, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I wonder where Madam picked up such a cute child?"
Hong Luan was stunned for a moment: "I saw him sitting in a wooden basin in the moat."
Shi'an asked in surprise: "Mom, you only said that you picked me up. You never told me that you picked me up by the river."
Hongluan looked at Shi'an: "Aren't you afraid that you will be sad?"
Ye Ruochen continued to ask: "May I ask this lady, did he have anything on him at that time?"
Hong Luan frowned: "At that time, when he floated over, there was nothing except a group of ducks swimming around him."
The chicken leg in Shian's hand fell to the ground. He was very surprised and asked: "Mom, do you still remember which duck gave birth to me?"
Everyone was petrified on the spot.
Hong Luan brought Shi'an over and said, "Thank you so much for your kindness today."
Immediately, he stepped out and went back with Shi'an.
Ye Ruochen looked at that familiar figure and suddenly smiled.
Before Hong Luan left, he sighed that this was the first time that father and son had met, and it was probably the last time that they would meet.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, her small courtyard was crowded with people.
When Hong Luan saw the man coming from a distance, he looked at her with a smile, his eyes were clear and gentle.
He walked up to her and said to her tenderly: "Hongluan, this time, it's me who will protect you and Shi'an."
Hong Luan burst into tears instantly.
It turned out that with just one word from him, all her defenses could easily collapse.
Ye Ruochen gently wiped the tears from her face and held her in his arms: "Hong Luan, would you like to follow me back to the palace?"
Hong Luan shook his head: "No, I like this leisurely life now, so I don't want to follow you back to the palace. The palace is a terrible place, and too many people have been buried there."
Ye Ruochen seemed to know that she would say this, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Hongluan, maybe Shi'an will like the palace?"
Hongluan's eyes were instantly complicated. Will Shian really fall in love with the palace?
Looking from a distance, the young Shi'an looked at a tall maroon horse, his eyes full of surprise.
He ran towards Hongluan: "Mom, I will ride on such a big horse in the future. I will be more majestic in the future."
Ye Ruochen touched Shi'an's little head and said, "Shi'an, do you want to make a great contribution? Get on the horse to bring peace to the country, and get off the horse to govern the country."
Shi'an thought for a while and nodded decisively.
Hong Luan looked worried.
But then I was relieved, and things in the future were changing rapidly.
Even if she can do astrology and divination, she may not be able to calculate it.
