Chapter 271

She looked up, his expression was still complicated and hesitant.In this way, Xi Lan suddenly felt a little happy. When a person starts to contradict, does it mean that his heart is being shaken?Just like when she tried to keep her calm and restrained her sincerity towards Li Huai, wasn't she also conflicted like this?
So she wanted to make this contradiction more intense, so she lightly stepped on her toes and kissed his cold lips. Starting from numbness, she used her soft lips to soothe his resistance little by little.

Li Huai didn't push her away, but he didn't respond to her initiative, he just looked down at her eyes with obvious motives, and continued to maintain his stiff posture.

She suddenly enjoyed this feeling very much, holding his face with both hands, raised her head just below his face, and asked softly: "Li Huai, do you know that I love you?"

The man naturally didn't answer, she closed her eyes and kissed him again...

She had never done this before, her movements were clumsy, but those hands made him not disgusted, on the contrary, he gradually liked her adventurous visit, but he was unwilling to accept passively, and then pulled her closer to him ;Xi Lan was expecting and a little apprehensive, like the mood of a young girl when she first met someone, or exploring the unknown emotions in his heart, but all this was clearly in his eyes, Xi Lan seemed to perceive this, and stretched out her hand to cover him No longer let those greedy eyes see through all my thoughts.

A force from his body pulled their bodies. Her feet had already been lifted into the air, and she felt herself spinning with the wind. During this process, Xi Lan seemed to be given a pair of wings by him, fanning the curtain of the room, Flying around, enveloping them, and she is like a budding stamen after a spring rain, which makes Li Huai's mind have many pictures of them being together, her smell, her expectation, and Her shyness has all become his desire.

He arched her in the palm of his hand, held her high, and showed her shining light. He took her away from the mortal world, and floated above the clouds of the three worlds. Tiny and tiny.

"Don't leave, okay?" After that, she hugged him tightly in the bedroom where the curtains were flying, afraid that after everything was over, all of this was just a dream.

His big hands combed her long hair carefully in the dark, and his chin rested on her forehead, silently thinking for a long time, and said in a soothing voice: "Sleep!"

When she heard this voice, she closed her eyes like a spell, and fell asleep peacefully this time.

But at dawn, Li Huai was no longer by his side.

Long Xilan got up and sat by the bed, dazed for a long time, until the servant girl came in to wash her up, her eyes became a little more focused.

On this day, she received a letter from Mrs. Rong Guo, which contained a few short sentences and an hour. After she read it, she called Yan Ming and asked, "Where is your lord?"

"My lord has gone out, this time it seems to be far away."

Yan Ming was right, Li Huai had been gone for five days without any news.During the five days, the political situation was still changing, and a huge conspiracy was slowly unfolding.

Xi Lan looked at the letter from Mrs. Rong Guo, and finally decided to go out of Beijing once. She didn't want to startle the enemy, so she took the simple bodyguard and set out on the road.

The place she was going to was one day and one night away from Jinling, and the journey went very smoothly. She spent the night at the inn on the way, and then started on the road again the next day, and it was almost dusk by then.

It was on a mountain villa far away from the city, and the whole mountain was covered in white with winter snow. Yan Ming didn't know why she came here, but after entering the villa and seeing Mrs. Rong Guo who had been waiting for a long time, she naturally understood who else was here.

"Wanzhu can't wait any longer. We will welcome a baby boy tonight." Mrs. Rong Guo was wearing a water-blue robe and a hairless cape. She hadn't seen her for several months, as if she had aged a lot. A few strands of white hair blended into the color of winter snow.

Xi Lan was perplexed, counting the days, the child in Wanzui's womb was not even enough for seven months, it was only in June, how could it be born?Can you live again after being born?
However, what the other party said was so certain, it must be very sure.

At this time, a white-haired mother-in-law came out of the room, walking towards them with a cane in her hand.She naturally doesn't know this mother-in-law, but the servants around her seem to obey her. Maybe she is a highly respected senior in the Ning family. Except for the crutches she was holding, she couldn't see any decorations, and when she looked closely at the crutches, she found that it exuded a heavy aura, Xi Lan confirmed her own thoughts, this might be a Taoist expert invited by Zhuge Nianci .

"This..." The old woman's blurred old eyes discovered her existence, a ray of surprise appeared, and she asked, "Is this the child from back then?"

Xi Lan was taken aback for a moment, the old woman seemed to know her.

"Yes, I have grown up." Zhuge Nianci replied softly beside him, and then said to Xi Lan, "This is Grandma Huan."

Fantastic Granny, Xi Lan felt a little familiar when she heard this title. She has always had a good memory, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before!
She asked, "Grandma Huan knows me?"

Zhuge Nianci didn't answer, but the phantom mother-in-law approached with a cane and said to herself: "It's been almost 19 years in a flash, you and that child really look exactly the same."

that kid?Xi Lan became more and more confused. Did the child mentioned by the other party refer to Ji Jinhua?But why did she know?

Xu Shi sensed her confusion, and Zhuge Nianci said from the side: "Grandma Huan went to the Ji Mansion to deliver the baby 18 years ago."

It turns out that this phantom mother-in-law is a midwife!No wonder it appears here, but why does she have such a heavy aura?
Before she could find the answer, another maid ran out of the room. Xi Lan recognized her as Ning Wanzhu's personal maid. She came out in a panic and shouted: "The princess wants to see Princess Xu!"

"Then go in!" Zhuge Nianci said to her.

She approached the room where Ning Wanzhuo was alone. In order to maintain the temperature, a charcoal fire was burned in the room, but she was afraid that the pregnant woman would inhale too much charcoal gas, so it was very far away from the bed. There was no one else in the room at the moment, only Ning Wanzhui was lying alone. On the bed, even though she was covered with a quilt, one could see the height of the swell, and her unsteady breathing constantly rising and falling chest-chest.

Hearing her footsteps coming in, Ning Wanzhui turned her head slightly to the outside, and saw her coming in wearing a plain blue cloak.

The other party looked at her with hope and loss at the same time, but it was more difficult and painful.

"Only you are here..." When she approached, Ning Wanzui said these words weakly, Xi Lan couldn't bear it, and sat down in front of the bed.

"Yes, I'm the only one here!"

"I never thought that at the end of this life, the last person I would see would be you." Ning Wanzhuo said in a deep voice, her words were full of helplessness.

Xi Lan didn't answer, she looked at her with clear eyes without any malice, and she never thought that she came here for Li Huai this time.

After a moment of silence, Ning Wanzhuo asked her: "Is he alright?"

She didn't know how to answer this question, she didn't want to deceive a dying person, and she was even more afraid that she would die with more regrets.

Finally, she fell silent again.

"I heard that he has changed!" The other party is not closed here and does not know the world, maybe he knows more than Xi Lan imagined. She looked over and met those haggard eyes that were tortured. She still remembered the first time she saw him. When Ning Wan died, she felt inferior to her graceful beauty, and remembered how beautiful the young girl Li Huai had drawn for her was, but the woman in front of her was only a lifeless body, and her beauty seemed to be gone. It is suitable to describe her, she felt a little distressed, but she was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so she lowered her head.

"Maybe he has changed, people will change, we will all change, these are not important anymore!"

At this moment, Ning Wanzhu stretched out her hand and held Xi Lan's palm. She saw the veins bulging on her face and wanted her to save some strength.

"Lie down well, the night is still long."

The other party did not let go of her hand, and said to her with great effort: "Don't let him go, okay? He only has you!"

"Me?" A look of astonishment appeared in Xi Lan's eyes, but reason still allowed her to support Ning Wanzhu's body back, and when she sat back, she sighed softly, "Maybe he doesn't need anyone in this world anymore, He has changed, he has become to regard mortal feelings as cheap things, there is a cold soul living in his body, Wan Zhu, he is no longer the gentle and elegant Ji Hai you once knew!"

Ning Wanxuan listened to her words, and lay on the bed in a daze, her scattered eyes couldn't see the point of intersection, she seemed to be imagining what Li Huai was like in Xi Lan's mouth now, after that, she slowly Closing his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's a good thing for me not to see him for the last time... In this way, after I die, what I see in front of the Naihe Bridge will be his most beautiful appearance."

Xi Lan listened quietly, and actually felt that it was a relief for Ning Wanzhuo to leave this world.

"But, in this world, only you can save him!"

After a long time, the other party said such a sentence again.

With all the goodwill, she sat in front of the bed and talked with Ning Wanzhuo, because Ning Wanzhuo who calmed down like this felt relieved a lot.

"Have you also heard the story about Bodhisattva?"

"No, I heard another story—" The other party's voice suddenly weakened a lot. Xi Lan looked over and found that her eyes were closed.

She thought that Ning Wanzhu was tired after talking for too long and needed to rest, so she went to help him cover the quilt.

But at this moment, she found that something was wrong, Ning Wanzhuo had been breathing heavily up and down just now, but suddenly there was no movement at this moment, she couldn't help crying, she got up and touched her nose, as if she had lost her breath.

"Mrs. Rong Guo!" She shouted towards the door, and Mrs. Rong Guo and the phantom mother-in-law rushed in immediately.

The phantom mother-in-law said: "The hour of the child has come!"

Xi Lan stepped aside, saw Granny Huan touching Ning Wanzhu's pulse, and finally confirmed: "She's gone!"

Mrs. Rong Guo had been prepared for a long time, but she still showed sadness on her face. "Her life is over!"

Grandma Huan said: "But the next life has just begun, so bring the knife quickly."

When Xi Lan heard this, she couldn't help being a little surprised, and saw that Grandma Huan skillfully opened Ning Wanzhu's stomach, and brought out a small baby from inside.

The child didn't cry, he was born after his mother died, and he was only in the mother's body for more than six months, how could he be alive?

But I heard Grandma Huan read a poem similar to a nursery rhyme to the child, and the child burst out laughing with a 'wow'!

I laughed!
After seeing so many monsters and ghosts, Xi Lan couldn't help but be shocked by the ability of this illusory mother-in-law after seeing this scene, and she felt that she had heard the nursery rhyme that illusory mother-in-law read.

At this time, Zhuge Nianci turned his head away, looked at Xi Lan and said, "Our Ning family has another child!"

Later, Granny Huan handed over the child to Mrs. Rongguo. The servants of the Ning family put Ning Wanzhu into the coffin overnight. It was still snowing outside, but Granny Huan refused to stay any longer. When she left, she took them with her Ning Wanzhu's body.

Xi Lan didn't understand why the Ning family would let the dead daughter's body be handed over to the midwife instead of burialing her. After the ghost mother-in-law's carriage disappeared from the villa, Xi Lan and Mrs. Rong Guo stood in the snow, and she finally asked The doubts in my mind. "Mrs. Rongguo, what does Granny Huan want a corpse of a dead person? Why didn't the Ning family bury her properly for the evening? Help her reincarnate earlier?"

Mrs. Rong Guo's eyes moved to her face calmly, and after a moment of silence, she asked her back: "Don't you realize that Wan Zhu has already got the chance of reincarnation?"

She was startled, thinking of the child who survived just now, the first sound was laughter, and she suddenly realized something.

The other party reminded her at this time: "You should have heard that life-sustaining babies are born with a smile!"

"Life-sustaining baby? There really is a life-sustaining baby!" After hearing this, she was extremely shocked. In other words, the child who was born just now is a life-sustaining baby. "But whose life-sustaining baby is it?"
