The temperature outside is lower than that in the room, especially in the mountains, which makes it a bit cooler at night.
Although Bai Lanran had her head covered and could not see the scene outside, the smell of blood that hit her nostrils still made her a little nauseous.
The arms holding her tightened a little, and the chest behind her was warm and firm, feeling indescribably stable.
"Stardust, leave some people to check the body carefully. If there are no problems, dispose of the body. Sundial, come back with me."
Mo Shaohua's voice was as cold as water, reflecting the moonlight. It was not as gentle as he pretended to be in front of others, but he looked more real like this.
People all have many sides, whether true or false, as long as they are this person, there is no way Bai Liran can dislike him.
The bloody smell gradually faded away, and she knew she had walked out of the yard.
Just as he was about to lift the thin quilt on his head, Mo Shaohua's low and gentle voice rang in his ears, "Ran'er, let's sleep for a while. Let's go down the mountain first. We will be home soon. Don't lift the quilt. It's cold outside. Be careful of freezing."
.”
Bai Lanran had almost never seen him lose his temper. His personality was considered good, but he could not be called a gentle person.
He gave Bai Ranran unique tenderness.
Bai Ranran nodded and said nothing.
She had been tense for the past few days, but she relaxed the moment she heard Mo Shaohua's voice. Fatigue swept over her, and she felt a little drowsy.
Suddenly feeling something unusual around her, Bai Ranran opened her eyes quickly. Because she was covered in quilt, her voice was muffled, "Ziqin, fifty steps to the left, the person who escaped should be there."
She was already familiar with Lang Ge's breath. This breath was heavy and rapid, and it was probably because he was injured and couldn't run.
Hearing this, Mo Shaohua frowned slightly, winked at Xingchen behind him, and lowered his voice, "Take a few people to search the forest on the left."
"yes!"
Xingchen ordered about ten people and led them in the direction Mo Shaohua said.
The moonlight shines through the dense leaves, which block most of the light, and the stone steps reflect mottled light and shadow.
There were two people in front of Mo Shaohua holding torches to help him light up the mountain road.
After coming down the mountain, Mo Shaohua hugged Bai Lanran and rode for a while, then changed to a carriage.
During this period, Bai Ranran fell asleep in a daze and woke up twice more. She knew that Mo Shaohua carried her down the mountain, rode a horse, and got into the carriage. On the way, she heard someone report that someone had caught him and that the person had something in his hand.
A bracelet, what should Mo Shaohua do with it?
Mo Shaohua took the bracelet and deliberately lowered his voice, "Kill."
When she heard this word, an indescribable feeling surged through her heart, but she was clearly awake, but she didn't want to open her eyes and pretended that she didn't hear it.
After getting on the carriage, Mo Shaohua took off the quilt covering her head.
As long as she opens her eyes now, Mo Shaohua will know that she is awake.
Regarding this Lang Ge, Bai Linran knew that he was Shu Qing's confidant, but when she heard that he died like this, she still lamented the loss of young life.
Maybe, because he said lazily, "I have no father or mother. She saved me from a wolf. For someone like her, what do you think she can teach me?"
Or maybe he's only a teenager.
But he is an enemy, and sooner or later he will be a time bomb if he is not dead, and his compassionate heart cannot move.
"She gave me this bracelet. Now it can no longer be regarded as a token of our love. I threw it away and will return it to you in the future."
The voice came from the top of his head, with a forbearing low tone, as if he was forcing himself to make a decision, but he was still struggling fearlessly.
Bai Ranran stretched her hands out of the quilt and hugged his waist, "You know I'm awake."
"Yeah." Mo Shaohua noticed that she was awake just now.
Bai Linran sat on his lap, and he held her in his arms with one hand, while in the other hand he held the gold and jade bracelet given to her.
He looked at the bracelet deeply for a while, and still remembered that when Shu Qing gave it to him, he said that when he met the one he loved, he could use it as a token of love. This bracelet contained her blessings.
It's really ridiculous, this "blessing" is to send someone to assassinate his beloved.
But yes, maternal love is fake, so how can blessings be real?
He stretched his hand out of the car window, and Bai Ranran did not stop him. He only heard the inaudible sound of the bracelet falling on the ground in the quiet night.
He threw away the maternal love that was false from beginning to end, and also threw away the little thoughts he had.
"Okay, go to sleep. We can enter the city in half an hour." Mo Shaohua hugged Bai Ranran tightly, feeling a sense of fullness in his heart.
He had already told Emperor Chengde that he was no longer interested in the position of crown prince, and now he only hoped that Emperor Chengde could give him a fief and put an end to the dispute between him and Bai Linran leaving Kyoto.
It's not that he doesn't want to part with the glory and wealth, but he is really worried that he will have nothing. What if Fufeng and Qin Linyuan try to steal people from him?
As a fiefdom king, with the sky high and the emperor far away, wealth and power, he would not let his little princess suffer.
Bai Lianran was no longer sleepy, but she leaned quietly on Mo Shaohua's shoulder without moving.
Even if she didn't say a word, just leaning on him like this, Bai Ranran felt very satisfied.
Mo Shaohua put his hand on her abdomen, and his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was afraid that if he used a little more force, he would hurt the child in her belly.
The girl in her arms was breathing slowly, and her eyelashes could be seen blinking in the hazy state, which showed that she was not sleeping at all.
Mo Shaohua has always had a doubt in his heart, "I have always felt that you are not the same person you were before."
There was no doubt in his tone, as if he was very sure, "It seems that the body has not changed, but it is indeed not the same person."
When he was a child, he actually met a girl outside the city and saw the girl's jade cicada. The girl cried pitifully when he found her, so he returned the jade cicada to the girl.
He was deeply impressed by this incident because the girl's eyes were very beautiful, as if they were carrying the stardust from the past, and they were like the bright moon falling in the clear spring in the mountains. They were so pure and clean that he felt the purity of the world at that moment.
Later, he met Jiang Wanyue at Duke Dingguo's Mansion, she had a similar face, and he accidentally learned about Yuchan from Jiang Qianye, so he thought Jiang Wanyue was a girl he had met outside the city.
It was just that a few years had passed and he was no longer impressed by his clean eyes.
But he never saw such a clean look on Jiang Wanyue's face again.
He only felt that people had changed, but he didn't think about anything else.
Later, when she met Bai Linran, she felt that those eyes were very familiar, pure and clean, but a little more cowardly.
In order to make things secretly convenient, he deliberately resisted the order and took Bai Erran into the palace.
Later, when he found the missing Bai Ran Ran, he had an idea in his mind, but for some reason, he couldn't connect the Bai Ranran at that time with the previous one.
Bai Ranran didn't say anything for a long while, and Mo Shaohua's tone was a little uncertain, "Ran'er, can you tell me?"
This matter had been in his mind for a long time, and he just wanted to know the truth.
"Why, do you suspect me of seizing the body?"
Bai Ranran raised her head, looking at his handsome face with her beautiful eyes. She could see her smiling in the dim light, her smile was relaxed and sweet, "If I really wanted to seize my body, you wouldn't find a Taoist priest to treat me like a monster."
Except?"
With a joking tone, she raised her hand and pinched Mo Shaohua's cheek, neither lightly nor harshly.
I have to say that Mo Shaohua is indeed smart and very perceptive.
Although he had doubts, according to the meaning of his words, he felt that she had changed as a different person from beginning to end, rather than that her temperament had changed drastically.
"I don't care if you are a fairy or a fairy. If you fall into my arms, you will never escape again."
Mo Shaohua put his fingertips on the tip of her nose, looking at her with sticky eyes. His fingers wandered to her soft lips, and he pursed his lips, "If you don't say anything, I'll kiss you."
Looking at the suppressed face, Bai Linran took the initiative to hook his neck and kissed him on the lips, "Tell me, I confess."
