Thinking of Ziqing's desperate appearance when she and Ziqing met for the last time by the Bahe River, Ran Ying only felt a pain in her chest, and a fishy sweetness welled up in her throat. With a whoop, a mouthful of blood spat out and splashed on the hem of Yuwentai's shirt.

Spray on that notebook.

"Ah Ying!" Yu Wentai called out in a trembling voice, and reached out to hold her, bright red blood hung on the corners of her mouth, and her face turned even paler. She was completely at a loss as to how to deal with such a thing.

"Ah Ying...... Listen to me......" he felt overwhelmed. How would he explain it to her?

There were hot tears in her eyes, and Ran Ying only felt that her body and mind were swept away.

At this time, the guards of Gao Su came back, holding an agarwood box in their hands: "King Le'an, find this under the base of the statue!" ”

Gao Su's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed and took it.

Everyone's eyes were on the box.

Gao Su gently opened the box.

The jade seal carved by He's Bi, made up for a corner with gold, engraved with the words "Ordered by the Heaven and Longevity Yongchang" -

The box was empty.

Everyone froze.

"Empty?" Gao Su looked at the empty box and muttered, "How can it be empty?" ”

He looked at Ran Ying, who was paralyzed on the ground with a mouthful of blood and had been exhausted by the blows, and then looked at Ran Ying, who was standing aside with a calm face: "A-Ying, what's the matter?" ”

Ran Ying looked at him steadily, as if he already knew everything, his face was calm and unwavering, and he didn't say a word. Steep, the corners of his mouth raised a shallow smug smile.

After Gao Su was confused for a moment, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind: "Ah Ying's clue is fake?" The real clue is still on you! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes in the hall focused on Ran Ying.

Ran Ying's gaze fell softly on Ran Ying's body.

"Yes, only I have always known where the jade seal of the country is." He said calmly.

Ran Ying looked at him stupidly. The blow to her was so great that she couldn't think about what was happening in front of her. She wondered why the clue my grandmother had given me was fake. Did A-Ying betray the Ran family? Which of his words is true?

"Brother......" she called to him softly.

Ran Ying looked at Gao Su and smiled coldly: "That's right, the real clue has always been on me." Ah Ying has always been a pawn set up by her grandmother in order to confuse the judgment of the world. But I don't want her to be a pawn...... If you hadn't seen with your own eyes that Ah Ying's clues were fake, how could you be willing to let her go? ”

Yuwentai only understood at this time that Ran Ying could have given up his life after being caught by Gao Huan, and he would not have to fight to death. But he knew that his grandmother would let Ran Ying escape with false clues, and release a message to confuse his eyes to protect him. And if he dies, Ran Ying will get the real clue and will also be in danger. So he gave Gao Huan a fake clue, and pretended to cooperate with Gao Su to hunt down Ran Ying, but in order to get out of the family's control and arrangement, he secretly protected his sister who fled all the way to Chang'an.

On the one hand, he guided Ah Ying to find the jade seal according to the fake clues, and on the other hand, he lured Gao Su here, just to let everyone see with their own eyes that there was no clue about the jade seal in Ran Ying's hands.

Only in this way can Ah Ying get rid of the curse of being a descendant of the Ran family and live a peaceful life.

Ran Ying's goal had been achieved, and he was no longer afraid of Gao Su's sword at all. He walked up to Ran Ying, stretched out his hand to help her up, stretched out his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth for her, looked at her deeply, and his eyes became very gentle and loving. He smiled lightly and said, "Ah Ying, you stupid boy, let me deceive me for so long. ”

Only then did Ran Ying recall that every time, it was Qingyan who led her to the next clue. It turned out that he had laid it all out.

But she was naturally defenseless against him.

She finally understood.

From the day A-Ying was captured by Gao Huan, he had been working for A-Ying, and he wanted to help A-Ying get rid of this burden that she shouldn't have carried. Everything he did was for Ah Ying.

Ran Ying reported tightly. stopped him, and tears broke the embankment again: "Brother! ”

My heart was full of joy and sorrow. He has suffered so much, all for her.

Ran Ying gently stroked her scattered long hair and smiled very gratifyingly: "Ah Ying, from today onwards, you can finally live like a normal person." You don't have to carry anything anymore. You're still so young, and you still have a long way to go...... Live well. ”

"Brother......" Ran Ying was suddenly overjoyed after being sad, her cheeks were red with excitement, and she was about to say something, only to hear Gao Su shout angrily: "Ran Ying!" ”

With a bang, the sword that flashed cold light pointed at Ran Ying's chest.

Gao Su, whose face was full of anger, drew his sword and pointed it at Ran Ying, extremely angry that he had been deceived. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ran Ying, you dare to tease this king like this, and let this king follow you like a fool!" Hand over the jade seal! Otherwise, this king will make life worse than death for all the people here! ”

Ran Ying completely ignored him, and there was no need to ignore him anymore.

He only looked at Ran Ying deeply with that single eye, as if he wanted to see her for the rest of her life in his eyes.

The child who held him in the palm of his hand had to face a long life alone after all.

He looked at Yu Wentai on the side again.

This proud son of heaven wants to entrust his beloved Ah Ying to him, and now he is a little relieved......

"Ah Ying ......"

A thousand words are no longer exhaustive. His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly turned his head and slammed into Gao Su's sword blade!

"Ah——!h

The cold blade passed through Ran Ying's body and stretched straight in front of Ran Ying.

A few drops of warm blood splashed on her face, and Ran Ying let out a piercing scream.

……

It was snowing heavily. The air inside and outside the hall was so cold that it seemed to freeze.

Ran Ying trembled and fell to her knees on the ground, hugging Ran Ying who fell to the ground tightly. Live. His chest was pierced by Gao Su's sword, splattering Ran Ying's blood.

Such an ending was unexpected, and Gao Su was stunned. His white shirt was splattered with blood, and blood dripped down the body of his sword to the ground.

"You're ......"

Everyone was stunned, everyone didn't expect that Ran Ying would end this matter in such a tragic way and take away the great secret of the jade seal of the country forever.

Ran Ying felt colder and colder. It was as if the blood in his body had been drained, but his body was soaked and damp. He felt as if he was being thrown into the darkness of an infinite void, his body getting lighter and lighter.

He used all his strength to look at Ran Ying, as if he wanted to remember her appearance fiercely.

Ran Ying lowered her head and asked him in a stupid whisper, "What are we for?" …… Brother, I want to go home......"

Tears fell in strings.

Life is like a dream, an ordinary afternoon, and her only remaining happiness and hope are shattered.

She lowered her head and cried softly, "Brother, I want to go home...... Take me back to Jinyang ......"

The family trust that she relied on to survive was fake, and the love that made her infinitely joyful was dusty. She felt that she had gone to the world in vain, but in the end she achieved nothing.

In the end, there was a vast sea of people, but there was only one person who could ask him.

Just like when he was a child, when it was dark, he grabbed his hand firmly and begged him timidly: "A-Ying, take me home." ”

Ran Ying smiled lightly: "Ah Ying, if I die, no one will know the secret of the jade seal of the country anymore." You're finally free. ”

Ran Ying hugged the dying Ran Ying tightly. In his arms, he was afraid that as soon as he let go, he would disappear.

I don't know whether to be sad or happy. Brother has always loved her, and he is willing to fulfill her with his life.

He is only eighteen years old, and he is in his prime.

He also wants to have a gentle and quiet time. He also has a magnificent dream of the country, and he also has a dream of the Zhu Ge window.

Ran Ying closed her eyes and half-opened them again, tears welling up in her eyes.

He caressed it with his blood-stained hand. looked at her face and said, "I really hope we weren't born in the Ran family...... Ah Ying, I can't marry behind your back......"

——

On the night of Qixi Festival, when she was thirteen years old, A-Ying secretly took her out to visit the beggar market and worship the flower temple. On the way back, Ran Ying was tired of walking and yelled for A-Ying to carry her, and A-Ying carried her back.

That night the crescent moon hung high, and the sky was full of stars. A-Ying smiled as she walked: "Every time you take two steps, you have to carry it, so squeamish, see who will carry you when you marry in the future." ”

Ran Ying was the age of cardamom at that time, and when she heard him mention getting married, her mouth curled, and she lay on his back and said, "I won't marry, I will always stick to my brother." ”

Ah Ying smiled when she heard this childish words: "Then I will dislike you." Then he asked, "What did you wish for the flower goddess just now?" yelled not to get married, but secretly made a wish to meet a jade-like Langjun, right? ”

"Nope!" Ran Ying screamed at him, but her face turned red.

It was the beginning of love, and I secretly thought about it, but that figure was so vague.

Is he tall or short, handsome or ugly? Is he a weak scholar, or a brave warrior? Will he treat her well?

She lay on Ran Ying's back and gently stroked her hot face.

Ah Ying said with a smile: "My Ah Ying must marry a hero of the world." When you get married, I will carry you on your back like this and send my relatives to thirty miles. I want your husband to know that Ah Ying is the pearl of my palm! With me, no matter how powerful he is, he won't dare to despise you. ”

Ran Ying hugged Ran Ying tightly, and tears slipped silently down line by line.

Jinyang's past has been left far behind her, and those good days in her memory will never come back.

He suddenly twitched violently in her arms, and streams of blood gushed from the corners of her mouth. Ran Ying reached out to wipe it in a panic, wiping her hands full of blood. She was panicked and frightened, and with nowhere to put her hands, she looked around helplessly, only to find that there were people all around, but there was no one to turn to.

Yuwentai stepped forward to help her stabilize Ran Ying's body, and when she saw him coming, she held A-Ying tightly in her arms, as if Yuwentai was going to take him away. She looked at him with red and desperate eyes, and cried desperately for a while: "A-Ying...... A-Ying ...... You don't want to die!! ”

Ran Ying sighed lightly, slowly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said, "Ah Ying, you are mine...... The pearl in the palm of your hand......"

He closed his eyes and slept peacefully in Ran Ying's arms forever.
