The name "Loulan".
It had been a very long time since anyone had called Moyan by this name.
The people behind Yan Ruyu couldn't tolerate this any longer.
One of them stepped forward and said,
"Sister, was it this man who forced you to do this?"
"Fairy, you don't need to be afraid. We'll take care of everything."
"Sister Ling, you shouldn't have done this."
"Sister Ling, the Emperor truly has feelings for you. No matter what your purpose is, doing this will hurt his heart."
Everyone was talking at once.
But the woman remained unmoved.
She looked at Yan Ruyu.
Then she looked at Luo Qiu in the corner.
As if she had made a certain decision, she said directly, "Now, Lord Moyan is different from before. Following him is my choice. No matter what you say, you can't change this fact."
"Moreover, Lord Moyan truly treats me well. In these past few hundred years, I've been in his heart."
Moyan smiled.
His hand always rested on the woman's waist.
Yan Ruyu's expression was constantly changing.
Moyan thought this man was truly mysterious.
His beloved woman had been snatched away, and she had said such insulting words in front of so many people. Yet, he could still remain so calm.
Yan Ruyu's reaction made Moyan very dissatisfied.
He said directly, "Yan Ruyu, your woman is now in my arms, and you can still be so calm. This really surprises me. It seems that no one in this world can match your cold - bloodedness."
Yan Ruyu looked at the woman.
In the woman's eyes,
there were emotions he couldn't understand.
However,
none of these mattered that much anymore.
He asked, "Do you really think Moyan is a reliable person? Do you really want to go with him?"
The woman nodded.
"Was it a long - planned scheme or an impromptu decision?"
The woman lowered her eyes.
A smile appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Both."
Yan Ruyu smiled.
"I understand."
After these few exchanges,
the others were all confused.
But they could all tell that Sister Ling didn't want the Emperor anymore.
Moyan pulled Zhao Shuning back into his arms.
Yan Ruyu's eyes flickered a bit.
"Take good care of her."
Zhao Shuning suddenly said this inexplicable sentence, and Yan Ruyu slowly nodded.
Then,
in the woman's hand,
a sharp blade suddenly appeared.
The blade was pointed directly at Moyan behind her.
Moyan was no longer what he used to be.
So even though the woman was very quick, he still reacted immediately.
However,
although the woman's dagger didn't hit a vital part,
it still scratched his skin.
Blood dripped down drop by drop.
The wound didn't heal.
Moyan struck the woman with a palm, sending her flying several feet back.
The "Luo Qiu" in the darkness also broke free from the restraint at this moment and quickly caught the woman who was flying back at high speed.
Moyan's palm strike was extremely powerful.
It even shattered the woman's tendons.
And this woman was not the real Zhao Shuning, but Luo Qiu.
Yan Ruyu flew down and caught the two of them.
After putting them down,
he asked with concern, "Ning'er, how are you?"
Zhao Shuning quickly replied, "I'm fine."
Then she quickly checked Luo Qiu's injuries.
Zhao Shuning and Yan Ruyu had been together for many years, and there was already an ineffable tacit understanding between them.
With just a look,
Yan Ruyu could tell
whether the woman in Moyan's arms just now was the real Ning'er or not.
The reason he didn't say anything was that he didn't know what the two of them were going to do.
So,
he could only watch from the sidelines.
"Xiao Qiu—"
The red lotus between Luo Qiu's eyebrows slowly faded away and finally disappeared.
There was still a faint smile on her pale face.
Before,
after Luo Qiu told Zhao Shuning that meeting her was the greatest fortune in her life, this plan took shape in Luo Qiu's mind.
Moyan's weakness was only Sister Zhao.
Since her appearance was very similar to Sister Zhao's, all she needed to do was exchange clothes during the fight with Moyan just now, and then use a secret technique to temporarily erase the red lotus between Sister Zhao's eyebrows.
She just needed to make a little embellishment with cinnabar between her own eyebrows.
It would be very difficult to tell the difference between them.
"Xiao Qiu, why did you do this?"
Previously,
when Luo Qiu held Zhao Shuning's hand,
she had already cast a Gu on her.
She once thought that she would never use Gu on her sister.
Unexpectedly, there would still be such a day.
"Only in this way can we hold him back to the greatest extent."
Luo Qiu stretched out her hand.
Blood kept flowing down from her lips.
Zhao Shuning desperately tried to wipe it off, but she just couldn't wipe it all.
"Sister, you're so beautiful."
I have a face just like yours.
But I've always thought that I don't deserve such a face.
Zhao Shuning said, "You and I are the same. Xiao Qiu, you said that you would accompany me all your life and always listen to me. Why didn't you listen to me this time?"
There had been so many things happening tonight.
Zhao Shuning couldn't accept it all at once.
Blood kept flowing from Luo Qiu's mouth.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sister. I, I broke my promise again."
I really wanted to listen to you. This is my last act of willfulness.
"Sister, you and I are not the same. You're like a Chinese trumpet creeper growing on a cliff, while I'm just a dodder plant that depends on you for survival."
Before I was even born,
my fate had already been determined by others.
I hate that I look like you.
But I'm also glad that I look like you.
When I see you,
I always feel that you're the person I want to be.
Sister,
maybe,
I,
was just born for you.
"Take this pill first."
Yan Ruyu handed a pill to Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning quickly gave it to Luo Qiu.
"Can this save her?"
Yan Ruyu shook his head.
"The opponent's moves were too cruel and poisonous. Although she looks normal on the outside, her internal organs are all shattered. She can't be saved. This medicine can only relieve her pain."
It could slow down the flow of her blood.
Sure enough,
after the pill entered her mouth,
most of the blood at the corner of Luo Qiu's lips stopped.
Zhao Shuning's hands were trembling.
In the darkness,
her face was full of tears.
Why?
Why couldn't she protect the people she cared about and those who cared about her?
Was she really the evil star of the Heavenly Fiend as the silver plate had said?
Did her appearance only bring pain and destruction to those around her?
"Sister, don't cry."
Luo Qiu gently raised her hand and wiped away Zhao Shuning's tears.
"The sister I like never cries. Sister, Xiao Qiu really, really likes you."
Zhao Shuning stopped crying and smiled.
"Sister knows."
Zhao Shuning helped Luo Qiu lean against the big tree behind them.
Moyan was now looking at the wound on his arm.
Looking at this situation,
he already understood what had happened. He had actually been outwitted by that woman Luo Qiu just now.
"Want to leave? It's too late. Lord Moyan, when I was in contact with you just now, I cast a Gu on you. I learned this move from you."
Moyan was on high alert.
He quickly checked.
Sure enough,
this woman was as vicious as ever.
"If you don't force out the Gu poison before leaving, you should know what will happen once you move, right?"
There was a smug smile on Luo Qiu's lips.
