"What do you mean by four? Who is the fourth one?!" Lan Shuang asked gritting her teeth.
888: "The fourth one is the general that the original owner saw before his death. He is an indispensable part of the plot. According to the rules of the previous four planes, this one is most likely your boyfriend~"
Lan Shuang: “…”
"So what was the original owner's wish in this life? Don't tell me it was to take all four men in. I can't do that!"
"Of course not. We are a serious system. Even if they have such a wish, we will ask them to turn right out and find other systems that are specifically responsible for this aspect." 888 said with a smile.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Then you guys really have a detailed division of labor.
"Ahem, to be honest, the original owner's wish in this life is to live as himself and no longer be anyone else's pawn. If possible, I want to save the National Master's life."
"Live as yourself?" Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows. This mission was interesting. It wasn't about revenge or reaching the top, but about living as yourself?
It would be better to want to be a queen in the previous life. At least there is a direction. Living as yourself is too vague.
But then this… "Save the Imperial Master's life?" After Lan Shuang digested the plot, she understood the meaning of this sentence. "Because the Imperial Master once saved her, she wants to repay the favor?"
888: "Well, besides that, the original owner actually had different feelings for the Imperial Master, but those feelings had almost faded away in her previous life. She just didn't want the Imperial Master to repeat the same mistakes."
Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, "Okay, I understand."
She probably knew where to start.
The original owner, Lan Shuang, was the adopted daughter of Lan Ye, the national preceptor of Dayu State.
Although she is called an adopted daughter, Lan Ye is actually not that old. He is only 30 years old this year, but there are only a handful of people of this age who don’t have children.
So he adopted Lan Shuang and gave her the title of adopted daughter. In fact, Lan Shuang was already seventeen years old. To be honest, they could be called brother and sister, but Lan Ye preferred to call them father and daughter to others.
Outsiders don’t understand, and the original owner Lan Shuang couldn’t figure it out either.
But this did not prevent her from admiring Lan Ye.
Lan Ye often covered his face with a bronze mask when he went out, and he never took it off even when he met the emperor. This was a privilege given to him by the emperor.
Therefore, people speculated that his real appearance must be extremely ugly and not worthy of being presented in a formal setting, which is why he was hiding it.
Only the original owner who was with Lan Ye day and night knew that Lan Ye was not only not ugly, but could be called the most handsome man in the country!
Even at the age of forty, she still has a sense of maturity.
One look at it would make the original owner fall into the quagmire and unable to extricate himself.
In the previous twelve years, Lan Ye took great care of the original owner and doted on her. Everything he used was of top quality. He taught her under great masters and cultivated her with all his heart, turning the original owner into a model of noble ladies in Kyoto.
Everyone who saw her said that she was unparalleled in beauty.
But the day before yesterday, Lan Ye suddenly found the original owner and asked her to do everything she could to win the heart of the crown prince and then capture the fifth prince.
The original owner finally woke up from her dream and realized that she was just Lan Ye's most precious chess piece.
…
Lan Shuang also watched the rest of the story, and when she saw the original owner's ending, she couldn't help but sigh: "What is love in this world? If you don't find the right person, you're just a waste!"
888 had also seen the plot and couldn't help but agree: "Isn't it? The last one died and the other went crazy, neither of them ended up well."
"Crazy?"
Lan Shuang was stunned: "Is Lan Ye crazy? Didn't he disappear?"
888: "Well, because those plots didn't help you complete the quest, I didn't pass them on to you. Lan Ye later lived in seclusion in the mountains, haunted by nightmares. He always felt that the original owner was still alive. Within half a year, he went mad."
Lan Shuang was silent for a long time before she sneered, "He's gone, why bother pretending to be so?"
She said this in her heart, but it was ridiculous that she actually laughed out loud, and snorted coldly, and was heard by the person who walked in under the moonlight.
The person who came paused slightly, looked at the small bulge on the bed through the gauze, his eyes floating.
"It smells so strong of alcohol, is Shuang'er so unhappy?"
A low and gentle voice blew in through the curtains with the cool night wind, and Lan Shuang couldn't help but be stunned.
"Xiao Baba, when did this person come in? Why didn't you remind me?"
Lan Shuang quickly recalled that she probably didn't say anything strange.
888: "I forgot. Lan Ye is very skilled in martial arts and has excellent Qinggong skills. He walks without making any sound. I didn't notice..."
"Okay, let me see what he wants to do."
Lan Shuang didn't say a word, just lay there without opening her eyes.
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The silver bell hanging beside the bed swayed as the bed curtains were drawn aside, making a series of small, ambiguous sounds.
Lan Shuang's heart sank. She could sense the Imperial Master drawing ever closer. What was he trying to do? Wasn't he talking about his adoptive father? This was too inappropriate.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, her chin was suddenly clamped with considerable force, leaving a red mark.
"You're not asleep, why don't you want to look at me?"
Lan Ye's breath was getting closer and closer, and a faint plum fragrance, inexplicably tinged with a hint of chill, came to his face.
Lan Shuang had no choice but to force herself to cheer up, open her eyes a little, and look at him with a distracted look.
He was stunned by the sight. There was no candle in the room and it was dark everywhere. Only the cold moonlight came in from outside the door, illuminating half of Lan Ye's face.
He sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a snow-white robe with wide sleeves hanging down like clouds. When he lowered his eyes, he looked like an immortal who was compassionate but had no desires.
No wonder the original owner couldn't forget him after just one look. Lan Ye was so handsome that he didn't look like an ordinary person.
No one spoke, their eyes met, one cold and gloomy, the other confused and distracted. The autumn wind blew, the bed curtains fluttered lightly, across the two of them, making each other's faces blurred.
