The brown cherry wood door opened with a gap two fingers wide. Through the gap, Xiaolan happened to see the two maids sitting on the stairs.
The two leaned against each other, a lamp burning quietly on the handrail of the stairs, and the two seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
What's going on?
Xiaolan packed up her clothes, opened the door gently, and went out to look around.
Except for the two sleeping maids, there was no one else here.
Who opened the door?
Xiaolan lowered her head. The key was still inserted in the keyhole outside the door. A piece of red wool passed through the end of the brass key, and the wool was swinging from side to side.
Don't miss this opportunity.
Xiaolan walked out and stood on tiptoes to check the terrace not far away. Sure enough, there was no one around.
The two little maids didn't seem to be pretending to sleep.
Who is it?
Xiaolan thought as she walked down the spiral staircase down the steeple.
Now there's only one puzzle left to solve.
There were no guards under the tower. Xiao Lanping held the black porcelain plate and plunged into the darkness.
She was running in the middle of the night.
To find Lily.
Xiaolan ran to the back door of the castle in one breath. The back door was unlocked as always. She stood in the empty hall and thought for a while before walking up the stairs.
If Lily still lives in that room, I can find her, and then...
Xiaolan hesitated a little.
Do you really want to get rid of her?
In the final analysis, it is just a child who wants his mother to be resurrected.
Xiaolan thought of Wangcheng and Wangshen.
The child named Fitz who lost his mother.
etc.
Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat.
Reality is reality again.
This story is so similar to the story of Wang Shen.
Up to the ninth level, the strong sense of reality in the game has been impacting Xiaolan. She always thought that the effect of this virtual reality was too realistic, but even the storylines are so similar, this is really
Coincidence?
Although it is not uncommon for artistic works to be based on reality, some of the content in this game is almost adapted from reality that is impossible to spread, right?
Xiaolan thought of Lu Qianqian.
Si Xia Ming Chong said there is a problem here, but I wonder how her investigation went.
After you go out, you must remember to ask her.
Xiaolan came to the corridor on the second floor. The candlelight was flickering. She looked at the room where she had lived briefly for a few days without any feeling of nostalgia.
Opposite my room is Lily and Moses' room.
Quiet.
However, it is by no means as quiet as it seems.
There was light in Moses' room.
The faint light spilled through the gap under the door onto the burgundy carpet in the corridor, as if tempting Xiaolan.
Xiaolan turned around and walked towards Lily's room.
She raised her hand and pushed the door open.
The door is not closed.
After the wooden door opened, Xiaolan first felt the night breeze blowing against her face.
The window was wide open, the white screen was fluttering in the breeze, and a familiar floral fragrance drifted into Xiaolan's nose.
It's a tulip.
Lily was standing straight in the middle of the room wearing that snow-white nightgown.
Her back was turned to herself.
Xiaolan walked in casually.
The night wind blew the hem of Lily's skirt, the tassel pendant beside the bed, and the dirty light blue dress on Xiaolan's body.
rustle……
The sound of scraping paper.
Xiaolan came to the table and looked at Lily from behind.
She lowered her head and held a book in her hands.
She is reading.
Xiaolan quickly looked back at the bookshelf.
Sure enough, the copy of "Bluebeard" was missing.
rustle……
Lily turned another page.
Xiaolan's hand holding the black porcelain plate was so nervous that she began to sweat.
Swish...bang.
Lily closed the back cover.
She's finished reading it.
Xiaolan took a deep breath.
Lily grabbed the book and turned around slowly.
She looked at Xiaolan, and after a while, she smiled and said, "You are indeed here."
really?
Xiaolan took a look at Lily, who still looked innocent, and nodded slightly, "You opened the door."
Lily narrowed her eyes and nodded.
"It was you who made the servants fall asleep?"
Lily then nodded.
Xiaolan shut her mouth, and after a while, she asked the last question, "Did you ask me to come here?"
Lily smiled even more happily. She took a step forward, jumped twice, and sat on the edge of the bed. "Let me tell you directly, I also put that plate in the history book."
Xiaolan's hand trembled, and the black porcelain plate in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Seeing Xiaolan's shocked look, Lily seemed even happier. She pointed to the window and her voice was much higher, "Look out the window!"
Outside the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, a golden full moon peeked out from behind the clouds.
Suddenly there was a series of heavy footsteps outside the door. Xiaolan quickly turned her head. Under the bright moonlight, Xiaolan clearly saw the figure appearing at the door.
Moses dragged his weary steps and walked in from the door carrying a rusty axe.
Xiaolan took a few steps back unconsciously.
Moses saw Xiaolan, and a trace of resentment flashed in his dull eyes.
"Brother!" Lily shouted with a smile, "Just stand there."
Moses retreated to the door.
Xiaolan gasped and looked at the two of them with wide eyes.
Everything, everything...
However, I was not as surprised as I imagined. It was as if I had actually thought that such a scene would happen...
"Actually, he has died a long time ago, right?" Xiaolan tried hard to control her breathing and looked at Lily.
He refers to Moses.
"Miss Emma's first question," Lily raised a finger childishly, "the answer is, yes!"
She took off her shoes, sat on the bed and hugged her knees, and continued, "If Miss Emma can answer my question, then I will also give Miss Emma an additional opportunity to ask questions."
"What do you want to ask?" Xiaolan raised her chin.
"Ding!" Lily raised her left index finger again, "Lily's first question, our father, Mr. Moses, fell in love with the respected Miss Emma, right?"
Xiaolan remembered the contents of the love letter and nodded honestly, "We want to get married. After that, I will treat you as my own children."
This is indeed what Emma thinks.
Xiaolan noticed that Lily's eyes flickered.
"It's my turn to ask a question," Xiaolan mastered the rules and asked immediately, "My second question, when did Moses die?"
The little girl looked past Xiaolan and towards her expressionless brother at the door.
"Brother Moses died with others."
"Others?"
"Those who were scared when they first saw me," Lily's voice became aggrieved, "faced me who had just been born, and they showed that kind of expression, especially Brother Moses, who clearly said he would before he was born.
Treat me as your most precious sister... I just came into this world and I didn’t do anything, so why do you treat me like a devil?"
