"I pay homage to the king. The palace banquet is about to begin. When I saw that the king has not arrived, I took it upon myself to come to see the king. The king must not blame me for disturbing the political affairs." Mrs. Xi lowered her eyes.

When she smiles, there are two shallow pear dimples on her cheeks, which are gentle and charming.

When she was halfway through her ceremony, Prince Yin helped her stand up. His expression was gentle, and his eyes seemed to be full of doting. "It doesn't matter, even if the madam doesn't come, I still want to invite the madam to attend the night banquet with me."

The palms of the two people overlapped, and the smile on Mrs. Xi's face became a little deeper. Then she looked at Ji Ranyue sitting on one side, her eyes darkened a little, "Your Majesty, this is the man who moved the world.

Princess Zhou?"

"It's true that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. No wonder I often hear Jue'er talking about you." Mrs. Xi approached her and praised with a smile.

"I've met Mrs. Xi." Ji Ranyue's eyes inevitably fell on her severed finger.

Sensing where Ji Ranyue's gaze was, Mrs. Xi curled her fingers and the smile on her face faded a bit, "I'm sorry, I was negligent and scared Her Highness the Princess."

She hid her fingers in her long sleeves and let them hang naturally by her sides.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just curious. Who is willing to hurt you, a gentle person like Madam?"

"The prince was accidentally cut while playing around when he was young. After so many years, I have gotten used to it. Fortunately, the prince is fine." Mrs. Xi's eyes were a little sad, but after careful consideration of her words, she always felt...

There is a strange feeling of separation in the moon.

"The prince was naughty when he was young, thanks to the madam for taking care of him." Prince Yin gently stroked her palm, but his eyes were a little distant. He turned to look at Ji Ranyue, his tone was cold, "Eldest princess, please step aside first.

I and my wife still have some matters to discuss."

"Yes." Ji Ranyue nodded, stood up slowly, and left the palace.

The palace door was closed again, and a mechanical voice sounded in Ji Ranyue's mind at the right time, "Hey, congratulations to the host for collecting a secret of Yin State: Mrs. Xi's little finger was cut off by the young prince with a dagger. The current secret collection progress is (2

/3), please host to keep up the good work!"

Based on these two secrets, Ji Ranyue can draw the following information——

1. The queen died early, and the prince was raised by Mrs. Xi.

Second, Mrs. Xi has a biological son, the fifth prince, and her relationship with the prince is not good.

The key to this third secret may lie in King Yin's true attitude towards the Queen, Mrs. Xi, the Prince, and the Fifth Young Master.

Outside the palace, the palace maid who had led her there disappeared and was replaced by an ordinary little palace maid.

Ji Ranyue casually made an excuse and sent the maid away, sneaking alone in the palace at night.

"Mrs. Xi is so considerate to the King. She knew that the King would have to drink at the banquet later, so she ordered me to prepare a hangover decoction and be ready at any time."

"Yes, and my wife has assisted in the affairs of the Sixth Palace in these years. Who can't praise me when I see her? Madam is kind and takes care of the Sixth Palace in an orderly manner. It's just a pity-"

"What's the pity?"

Under the corridor, a group of palace maids holding food tables attracted Ji Ranyue's attention. She hid behind the corridor pillars and listened to their discussions.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Xi can't be the queen."

"A few days ago, the ministers advised the king to appoint a new queen to take charge of the six palaces, but the king refused again."

"Quickly...stop talking. Arguing about government affairs in the harem is a capital crime!"

"Don't I feel worthless for Mrs. Xi? How can a person as good as Mrs. Xi be inferior to the queen who died young... Ugh!"

The little palace maid next to her quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice, "Do you think your life is too long, and you still dare to arrange the queen... Let's quickly bring the snacks to the table, the nobles are waiting.

!”

The palace maids walked away, and Ji Ranyue walked out from behind the corridor pillars. Her plain dress reflected the moonlight frost on the horizon, making her expression look particularly lonely.

Well, thanks to the palace maid npc's reminder, she finally sorted out the love and hatred in Prince Yin's palace.

"Hey, congratulations to the host for collecting a secret about the Yin Kingdom: Mrs. Xi has been in charge of the Sixth Palace for several years, but King Yin has repeatedly refused to make her his queen. The current secret collection progress is (3/3), please let the host know the truth about the blood-devouring prince.

!”

Current truth query progress (0/100)

Ji Ranyue felt that the amount of information she had obtained tonight was enough. The rest should be discussed with Ying Zheng and the others before taking action. So what she has to do now is to return to the banquet room and be a quiet audience.

The swimming pool party was held near the Royal Lotus Pond, and the lantern riddle guessing activity should also be held there. She had to go to the swimming pool party first, meet up with Zhang Liang, and then discuss the funeral arrangements.

The pond was full of dry lotus and the cold crickets were melancholy. She didn't know whether she was walking in the wrong direction or something, but she was getting more and more remote as she walked.

"Help...help me." Ji Ranyue heard the faint cry for help coming from the edge of the pool. It couldn't be that Mo Ran, or it might have gone out of the plot of the novel world and fell into the Royal Lotus Pond.

.

She pushed aside the lush reeds beside the pool and looked into the pool. Among the withered yellow lotus leaves, the heavy dress made countless ripples. Mo Ran desperately struggled and fluttered when the water flooded his mouth and nose, but he still blocked the way.

I can't stand the fact that my body keeps falling.

The shadow of death hung over her, and she struggled with all her strength, but was unable to get rid of it.

Is this really the end?

Is she...dying?

Even if she died, I'm afraid no one would feel sad for her.

Mo Ran, you are such a coward for living a good life...

She gave up her struggle and allowed the water to swallow her up inch by inch.

"Xiaotian, will this world completely collapse if there is no heroine?" Ji Ranyue looked at this scene, with something faintly about to break out in her eyes.

"Su...host, what do you want to do?"

She put her hands on the tie around her waist, her eyes gradually becoming firmer, "Of course, to stop the heroine from coming."

The destiny of this world is carried more by the heroine. It is no exaggeration to say that the heroine is given more aura than all other characters in the world.

what does that mean?

The arrival of the heroine will be the biggest obstacle to her completing her destiny mission.

Anyway, the world plot has almost collapsed at this point, so let’s just let it collapse more completely!

"You are crazy, you are going against the will of heaven!"

So what, it’s just the way of heaven, it’s not like she hasn’t reshaped it!

Ji Ranyue took off her outer robe, jumped up, and like a nimble fish, quickly swam to where Mo Ran sank.

"Mo Ran, are you just accepting your fate like this? Are you willing?"

"Moran, give me your hand!"

Who...who is calling her?

Is she already dead?

Mo Ran managed to open a crack. Between the water and the sky, with the gurgling moonlight, a delicate but powerful hand broke through the heavy water splash and handed it to her. She saw the presence of God.

Wow! Ji Ranyue clenched her palm, took advantage of the situation and hugged her whole body. With a strong effort, she bent her back into a full moon shape and brought her out of the water.

On the water, the moon shines thousands of miles away, and the shadows of osmanthus dance.

Ji Ranyue had no time to appreciate it. Although she could swim, it was still difficult for Zhan Wuzha's body to drag another unconscious person to the shore.

"Xiaotian, if I drown here, everything will be over, help me!"

"Host..." Tianming System was silent for a moment, and finally chose to compromise, "This is the last time -"

Once it violates system regulations, it will be punished.

The mechanical sound in her mind seemed to have been forcibly cut off by something. Ji Ranyue's meridians had a trace of wandering energy, and her strength returned to full strength.

After bringing the people ashore, she collapsed on the reeds and gasped violently. As expected, rescuing people was not suitable for her at all.

I hope Mo Ran can be worthy of her only kind thought.

Ji Ranyue turned over, and with Mo Ran pressed under her, she tilted her head and neck back slightly to open her airway, then folded her hands and pressed her chest.

"Well -" Mo Ran let out a big breath, and his consciousness gradually returned, and he saw clearly the appearance of that person under the night sky. Even though his whole body was covered with water stains and his hair was loose, he was still so beautiful that it was heartbreaking.

"Ji...Miss Ji, it was you who saved me——"

Great, she actually succeeded. It was Mo Ran who woke up, not the heroine of the novel. Does that mean that she succeeded?!

"Didn't I remind you to stay away from the lotus pond? Why did you still fall into the water?"

"No...it's Mo Tan, it's...she pushed me out and then pushed me down."

They are biological sisters, but why did Mo Tan kill her?

"Listen, Mo Ran, do you still have the strength?" Ji Ranyue knew Mo Tan. She was the heroine's biggest enemy in the early stage and opposed her at every turn.

Moreover, Mo Tan is not a cannon fodder for a wise female villain in the usual setting. Her setting is very full. She is smart and almost demonic, has a sweet face and a bitter heart. She is a little acting expert, relying on a soft and cute baby face to cheat everywhere.

She coaxed everyone around her to pamper her, love her, cheer for her, go through life and death for her, and point the sword at the world for her.

With this kind of setting, it’s perfect to be the ultimate villain of any novel!

Unlike the cannon fodder Bai Yueguang like her who has nothing but beauty, the operating space is too low.

Envy jpg.

"Ji...Miss Ji, I still have the strength to walk." Mo Ran swallowed nervously. For some reason, she subconsciously didn't want to disappoint the girl in front of her.

"Very good, Mo Ran, now go to a place with many female relatives, the more the better, and say that you were deliberately pushed into the pool. Fortunately, I passed by and rescued you, but you have to say that I didn't know he was going to harm you.

Who is this person? Let King Yin, or rather you at the banquet, help you find out. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I...I'm scared." Mo Ran said timidly.

"What are you afraid of? You are also invited to the banquet. You are a young lady of the Mo family. You are not a cat or a dog that can be bullied. The more you strengthen yourself, the more respect you will receive from others."

"Whether a person is strong or not has nothing to do with the strength of external forces. The key lies in your heart."

Ji Ranyue's words shocked her heart. She seemed to be bewitched. She stared blankly at the girl in front of her, her eyes changing from blank to firm, "I understand."
