The follow-up aftermath work was basically completed after half a month, and within half a month, the emperor's injuries were basically healed.
The residence of Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang moved from the post house to the palace.
"Hey... I have to say, this flower cake from Lan Country is delicious!" Wen Ranran held a piece of cake and ate it with gusto, not forgetting to smack her lips.
Jiang Shu on the side looked at her like this and couldn't help but smile softly. She seemed to think of something and hesitated a little.
"It will be your and my twentieth birthday in three days. What you promised me before...does it still count?"
"Of course! I've asked Doctor Xi to prepare it, and the blood can be exchanged tonight!"
When Jiang Shu heard this, she was completely relieved.
Wen Ranran looked at each other and said with a smile, "After the blood exchange, we are really twins to each other. How do you feel?"
Jiang Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, deliberately teasing her.
"It feels like... I can finally fight Xia Lishuang with you when I grow up brightly?"
"..."
What about the human nature that she promised? Did she want to create another love rival for herself because she was out of her mind?
"You can't take it away anyway!" Wen Ranran was still very confident in herself.
Jiang Shu chuckled.
"I lied to you!"
Her eyes were distant, as if she had seen through the mortal world.
"From now on... take good care of your father. Don't get married. Don't get married. I will provide for my father until he is old and die. If one day he passes away, then I will travel around the world and be myself!"
Wen Ranran was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by Jiang Shu's free and easy attitude.
Jiang Shu smiled bitterly.
"In the past, I was hiding your identity and your face. From now on... it's rare for me to live for myself!"
Wen Ranran nodded, praising Jiang Shu for being a teachable child and reining in her horse at the brink.
The exchange of blood begins at night, and the two people need to complete it in a secret room.
Wen Ranran arrived early. Looking at the dim lights around her, and then looking at Jiang Shu opposite, she vaguely seemed to see another version of herself.
If...if there hadn't been so many ups and downs, if she had been raised in the Lan Kingdom Palace since she was a child, then she would probably have become such a gentle, kind, well-informed and courteous princess, right?
However, that would be too boring, and you might not be able to meet Xia Lishuang.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, just like her life with Jiang Shu.
The fingertips were pricked, and the warm and delicate jade fingers directly touched Jiang Shu's fingertips. Their fingertips touched each other, and there was a sudden feeling of blood connection.
This is the function of parasitic flowers.
Wen Ranran closed her eyes and felt blood spreading through her fingertips to her limbs. At the same time, her own blood was slowly draining away.
Surrounded by a layer of warm and radiant light, it is constantly glowing, completing the blood exchange ceremony.
Suddenly, a strange murderous intention suddenly emerged in Wen Ranran's heart.
Closing his eyes, all he could see before him was the tragic scene of him being trapped in that hundred years and dying again and again, and there was a devil-like voice in his heart telling him to kill Jiang Shu.
It was all because of her that I was hunted down, escaped, and got all the way to where I am today.
It's all because of her that her life was stolen...
This idea is getting more and more crazy, even a little strange, as if it is not Wen Ranran's own idea.
But this thought kept eating away at his own reason... Wen Ranran's fingertips were trembling, and she could hardly control herself.
No, that's not the case...
If it were not for Jiang Shu, I would not be able to meet my husband, my father, or Wen Yuwan... I had to endure countless hardships before I met Xia Lishuang. If... I would blame Jiang Shu, wouldn't it be unreasonable?
"Your Majesty, it's so boring to eat alone. Do you want to have a drink with me, sister?"
"My lord, you are good-looking and everything you say is right!"
"Look at how far apart we are, even if we die, we can come together!"
Pictures kept flashing through his mind, and Wen Ranran suddenly woke up.
Damn it, why did he kill him whenever he asked? He makes his own decisions about his own life.
