On the day of the delivery, it was pouring rain with thunder and lightning, as if God himself was issuing a dangerous warning to them.
Unfortunately, Lan Xing was already suffering terribly from the pain of childbirth and the poison, and Granny Du was extremely anxious. The midwife she had found was also sweating profusely.
After a long time, a clear cry finally rang out from inside the house.
"Granny, is it a boy... or a girl?"
Lan Xing was so exhausted that she could barely keep her eyes open. She could clearly feel the poison in her body spreading rapidly after she gave birth.
She knew she was about to die.
"It's a girl, a girl, the girl you wanted!"
Granny Du exclaimed in delight.
She knew that Lan Xing had always wanted a girl, and she was very happy about it.
"good......"
Lan Xing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on her face.
"Granny, remember to take care of me---"
Lan Xing was about to tell Granny Du to pass on her things to her daughter in the future, especially the ring, but before she could finish speaking, the door to the room was pushed open with a bang.
Then, Jiang Qinshu's personal nanny and maid appeared in her room, each carrying another infant.
"Oh, did the First Madam give birth to a son or a daughter?"
Jiang Qinshu's nanny asked with a malicious smile, walking towards them step by step.
What do you want to do?
Granny Du held the child and looked at them warily.
"What for? Naturally—"
Jiang Qinshu's nanny yanked off the blanket covering the child that Du nanny was holding, "Change the child!"
"Her Majesty the Empress herself said that if the First Madam gives birth to a daughter, she will become the Crown Princess. Such a good thing should not be given to an outsider!"
"Give me back my child!"
When Granny Du saw the child in her arms being snatched away, she immediately became frantic and tried to grab it back.
But how could an old woman like her be a match for so many of them?
In no time, Granny Du was taken away by Jiang Qinshu's men.
Lan Xing stared at everything with resentment in her eyes. She never expected that her chance to save the Empress would arouse Jiang Qinshu's jealousy and scheming.
However, the poison had seeped into her very bones, and she was now completely unable to move. She could only watch as her child was taken away.
Jiang Qinshu's nanny checked on Lan Xing's condition and found that she was dying, so she didn't do much and just stood by and watched her breathe her last.
With tears blurring her vision, Lan Xing watched as her child was held in the arms of a villain, her heart feeling as if it were being torn apart.
She was dying. She couldn't protect her child. Would her child be able to grow up safely?
My child, I'm so sorry!
Gao Changhong, I hate you!
In the final moments of her life, she saw before her eyes the happy memories of being with Gao Changhong.
In the end, he couldn't protect her; in the end, he let her down.
If there is an afterlife, she never wants to meet him again in any of her future lives!
*
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Northern Desert, the old emperor passed away, and the young emperor ascended the throne. Gao Changhong finally became the regent of the Northern Desert with the help of Mo Hanyu and his own efforts.
After becoming regent, he suppressed his political enemies and cultivated his own power base. Princess Mo Hanyu could no longer suppress him.
People used to call Mo Hanyu a princess, but now she can only be called the Regent's Consort.
During these ten years, Mo Hanyu gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. They were both intelligent and clever. Although he did not like Mo Hanyu, he did not divorce her for the sake of the children and until he found his own Ruanruan.
As for Gao Yuanbin, the son Ruan Ruan bore for him, he was estranged from him from a young age. Even after Ruan Ruan came to power and showered all her affection on this son, he remained extremely indifferent to her.
However, he still puts this son first.
A few years later, his people finally found out that Lan Xing might have appeared in Daliang, and discovered that he had gone to Daliang with Su Zhen back then.
So he immediately set off for Daliang, ostensibly for a marriage alliance visit, but secretly to find Lanxing.
He never expected that when he saw Blue Star again, it would be a grave.
He wept uncontrollably at Lan Xing's grave, all the tears he had shed over the past ten years flowing out at that moment.
No one would have imagined that the cold and dignified regent would actually shed tears.
After he finished crying, he fell seriously ill.
Later, he saw a woman who looked very much like Ruan Ruan and learned that she was Ruan Ruan's daughter with another man.
He was angry and jealous, but it also seemed as if he had found new hope and something to rely on.
So he came up with a twisted idea: to marry Ruan Ruan's daughter to his son, as a way of continuing the regret between them.
For this, he did many things that wronged Su Liluo, until he later learned that she was actually his biological daughter. He was overjoyed but also regretful.
Will his and Ruan Ruan's child still recognize him?
Now that he no longer has Ruan Ruan, his son has betrayed him and doesn't understand him, and his daughter doesn't recognize him, what use is it for him to seize power and the country?
At first, his dream was simply to grow old together with his beloved Ruan Ruan!
But later, with the passing of his grandmother and parents, he was blinded by hatred and gave up a lot for power, including his love.
Now he has power, but he feels lonely, regretful, and empty.
For the rest of his life, nothing else seemed to matter to him, so he gave up the Northern Desert and came to Daliang to find Su Liluo.
