"This... this young lady, my name is Mo Ran. Are you... are you also a girl from the Mo family?" When Mo Ran saw her, he felt a bit warm in his heart. He, who was always timid, couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to her.

The tassels under the lanterns are swaying slightly in the autumn wind. Under the warm orange light, the girl's side face is pretty and charming, and her demeanor is even more solemn. The bright facial features are softened a bit in the flickering light and shadow, which is even more charming.

When I saw it, my mind was shaken.

She is so pretty!

Mo Ran was a little lost in thought, but she had never seen this sister in her clan.

"I'm afraid this little girl has made a mistake. I'm not a girl from the Mo family. My surname is Ji." Ji Ranyue actually doesn't like to bump into others. Of course, the world is set like this and there is nothing she can do to change it.

What's more, in this novel world, Ji Ranyue and Mo Ran are just stepping stones for the heroine to travel through time.

However, no one is born to be someone's supporting role.

"Miss Mo, please remember to stay away from the Royal Lotus Pond during the swimming pool party later. The party will be crowded with people coming and going. If you fall, you may not even be able to find a rescuer."

Mo Ran is timid and sensitive, so Ji Ranyue doesn't have to beat around the bush, lest she overthink or not understand.

"Ah?" Mo Ran was a little confused. She didn't know how to swim. She usually stayed far away from those pools and lakes and never took the initiative to get close. However, she could feel that this girl she met by chance was in the water.

Show kindness to her.

"Thank you so much for reminding Miss Ji." It was just a thank you, but the girl in front of her had her little head hung low, and her chin was almost touching her neck.

Ji Ranyue found it a bit funny and novel. This kind of Mo Ran looked very much like the snow rabbit she raised in the real world. With such a timid temperament like her, it really makes people want to bully her even more!

She wanted to tease Mo Ran again, but her eyes fell on the laurel tree not far away. The lights there were extinguished for some reason. In the dark shadow stood a palace maid, her eyes like dead water, watching her.

, but had no murderous intent.

Ji Ranyue is very familiar with this kind of gaze. She once had many dead soldiers around her. They lurked in the shadows under the night, in countless rotting ditches, watching everything in the darkness.

A dead soldier will never see the light of day.

Who could have sent it?

Ji Ranyue already had a guess in her mind, "Miss Mo, I have some things to deal with, so I need to take a step forward. Miss Mo, stay in the banquet and don't run around."

Mo Ran wanted to say something else, but thousands of words came to her lips, and nothing came out.

She could only watch quietly as the slender figure disappeared into the dim light little by little.

At that time, she didn't know that staring from afar like this would become the norm between them.

"King Yin sent you to summon me late at night, but do you have any new instructions?"

"The king wants to see you, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, please come with your maid."

Do you want to see her at this time?

Isn’t the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet about to begin?

Ji Ranyue thought of the maid from last time and felt a little wary in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Princess, please."

She raised her head and looked at the gorgeous and exquisite palace in front of her, which was the Qingping Hall where King Yin usually worked and rested.

Unexpectedly, it was really King Yin.

Ji Ranyue patted her face that was a little stiff due to the cold wind, raised a soft smile, and walked into the palace. King Yin was wearing black and yellow regular clothes, without a robe, and he was not reviewing or working.

He was half-leaning on the couch, playing with a white jade ring with many cracks in his hand, and his expression was difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger.

"Greetings to King Yin." Ji Ranyue half-bent her knees and performed a less than standard salute.

"The eldest princess is here, take a seat." King Yin's eyes turned slightly to the side and locked her instantly. At that moment, she clearly felt the undisguised murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, but it soon disappeared.

Already.

It's strange, she hasn't done anything to make King Yin angry in the past few days, right?

"I wonder why the king summoned Ranyue here tonight?" Ji Ranyue knelt down and sat on a soft cushion nearby and asked tentatively.

"Just now, right here, the prince asked to see me, saying that he wants to marry the princess, and asks me to grant him a hand in marriage." King Yin gathered the white jade ring in the palm of his hand, and stroked the cracks on it back and forth, the undercurrent accumulating in his eyes became more and more intense.

The more profound it is.

"I don't understand. Isn't this a good thing for King Yin?"

Ji Ranyue took in all the subtle movements of King Yin and frowned. She was a little shocked when she heard about the prince's request to marry her, but what she was more confused about was King Yin's attitude towards this matter.

The attitude is a bit strange. "If I marry the prince, wouldn't it be easier to kill him? The king should be happy."

"You are right, I should be happy." The jade ring in King Yin's palm was embedded in his flesh and blood, but the pain in his palm was not worth the regret in his heart.

"Your Majesty, your hand is bleeding..." Ji Ranyue wanted to go further and explore the secrets in the emperor's heart, but he waved his hand, which was a sign that Ji Ranyue could retreat.

"Princess, please go back to attend the banquet. I will marry the prince tomorrow, make the princess the prince's concubine, and choose a day to move into the prince's mansion."

The crown prince's concubine... that's right. She is just a slave of the conquered country now. How could King Yin make her the crown prince? Wouldn't this put the entire Yin country's face on the ground?

But Ji Ranyue really looked down on a mere concubine of the crown prince.

"It's not as the princess thought. I deliberately humiliated the princess, but the crown prince has already been chosen. When the prince was born, the queen designated the legitimate daughter of the Mo family as the crown prince."

Ji Ranyue recalled that in the plot of the original novel world, the prince's marriage contract was set on the legitimate daughter of the Mo family, and the Mo family currently has two legitimate daughters, one named Mo Ran, and the other

His name is Mo Tan.

"What the queen prefers is——"

"The queen passed away not long after the prince was born." King Yin put the jade ring in his palm back on his waist, looking through Ji Ranyue, he seemed to see the bright and flamboyant woman in his memory.

"Sorry, Ranyue didn't mean to offend." She really didn't know that Luo Xiange's biological mother had passed away.

Sure enough, all the beautiful, strong and tragic male protagonists will have an extremely miserable childhood. Their mother died early, their father did not like them, they were taken hostage in a foreign country when they were young, and they suffered bullying... This is how to inspire maternal love in readers, but Ji Ranyue is not

I don’t think there is anything to sympathize with. In such troubled times, there are many people more miserable than Luo Xiange.

"It doesn't matter. Those who don't know are not guilty."

Together with King Yin's voice, there was also a system prompt in Ji Ranyue's mind, "Hey, congratulations to the host for unlocking one of the story fragments of the Kingdom of Yin. Do you want to check it out now, yes or no?"

yes.

The nine-square puzzle piece appeared in her mind again, and the second plot fragment also lit up. It was an ink painting, with an ink mark hanging down from the middle, dividing the entire picture into light and dark sides.

On the back of the fragment, it is written: The Mo family has two daughters. They are beautiful. When the Heavenly Master saw them, he said that the fate of the two women was indescribable. This reputation spread throughout Yindu, and the people praised their beauty. This is "Mo".

"Shuangshu".

Can she tell the truth, there was too little information in the fragments, and she couldn't guess the plot direction of the entire puzzle.

This time it was triggered in front of King Yin, which was an unexpected surprise.

Mo Ran, Mo Tan, Heavenly Master, Throne... Before Ji Ranyue could guess the result, the system tone sounded again, "Hey, congratulations to the host for collecting a piece of secret information about the Yin Kingdom: the prince is born, and the queen of Yin is the prince and the Mo family.

After the legitimate daughter made the engagement, she died suddenly. The current secret collection progress is (1/3), please host to keep up the good work!"

Died violently...

Good guy, the amount of information in these four words is huge. Based on Ji Ranyue’s experience accumulated from reading various novels in the past, there must be a lot of articles about the cause of Queen Yin’s death.

And this is probably the key to why King Yin wanted to get rid of the prince!

Thinking of this, Ji Ranyue let out a sigh of relief. She didn't want to be the crown prince's concubine, so she had to find a reason to postpone King Yin's marriage.

"Your Majesty, are you too eager to grant a marriage tomorrow? After all, there is Lord Changling -" King Yin interrupted her words, stood up from the couch, and a tall shadow fell in front of Ji Ranyue,

There is a heavy sense of oppression and invasion.

"Lord Changling? But that day during the martial arts performance, I heard from Xiao Wu that Lord Changling hates you to the core. From my point of view, it would be difficult for the princess to get close to Lord Changling again and get rid of him. He is too strong and it will be difficult for all princesses.

Concentrate on dealing with the prince."

"Your Majesty, how can there be any love or hatred for no reason in this world? As much as Qin Yi hates me now, how much he loved me back then. To deal with him, Ranyue already has a way."

She lowered her long eyelashes, and her eyes were like the white mist rising faintly above the cold pool in early winter. There was a bit of mist in the coldness. Her slightly set lower jaw and delicate white jade neck made men defenseless.

The most docile and docile attitude.

King Yin's eyes were a little dark, and his palms moved a few inches away from Ji Ranyue's shoulders and neck. It was obviously an ambiguous gesture, but where the two people's skin overlapped, there was only a boundless chill, "Oh

?The princess is indeed very resourceful, so on the Double Ninth Festival at the latest, I hope to hear the good news of Lord Changling's death."

"I will definitely not disappoint Prince Yin." She brushed off Prince Yin's palm from her shoulder, her eyes were cold, her red lips were pressed tightly, showing a bit of sadness.

Just wait, Prince Yin, she wants Luo Xiange to kill her father with her own hands.

"Your Majesty, are you here?" At this moment, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded outside the palace.

"Mrs. Hui Xi, the king is discussing important matters with others. Please forgive me—"

"Let Madam come in." King Yin took the initiative and shouted to stop the maid's obstruction.

Who is this Mrs. Xi? She seems to be trusted by King Yin?

However, Ji Ranyue's doubts were soon cleared.

A beautiful woman came into the palace. She had high hair and bright eyes. She looked no more than thirty. She was dressed in a dark purple palace dress and looked extraordinarily luxurious.

The most important thing is that she looks almost exactly like Luo Juege.

The case has been solved, this Mrs. Xi is Luo Juege’s biological mother.

Just as Ji Ranyue was about to retract her gaze, a hint of shock flashed across her eyes when she glanced at Mrs. Xi's folded palms.

Mrs. Xi's right palm has no little finger.
