The white banner floated in the air, the corpses of the Bai Clan's men covered in white cloth were placed in the main hall. Mei Xiang carried Bai Ruo Lan into the main hall. Upon seeing this desolate scene, she couldn't hold on any longer.

She crawled on her knees for a long time, from the door to the place where the corpse was parked. When she lifted the white cloth, she saw her parents' kind face. Mother! It was all Lan'er's fault! Lan'er regretted it! Lan'er is so regretful! ”

Mei Xiang knelt beside her with tears streaming down her face. ”Niangniang, you better not fall down! Young master, you still need to send them to their deaths!”

These two words reminded Bai Ruo Lan that she was the only one left in the Bai family. No matter what, she had to ensure that her parents would be safe.

She dried her tears and looked at the eunuch that Mu Qingchen had sent, ”Eunuch Wang, I want to be the guardian of my parents and brothers tonight. Please pass on your words to the emperor, I ask for your permission!”

”This servant will pass on the words of the Empress!”

In the end, Mu Qingchen agreed to let her keep watch over her relatives for the night. Night fell, and Bai Ruolan knelt in front of the spirit hall to burn the paper money, showing even more weight. With the flickering of the white candle, she added paper money into the brazier in front of her with a sorrowful expression, ”Father, Mother, Big Brother, Second Brother, you guys have made a safe journey, Lan'er has let you down! We'll meet again in the next life! ”

As she mumbled, she started to shed tears. It was unknown how long she had been muttering, but she suddenly felt that the surroundings had become unusually quiet. She abruptly turned her head and was shocked to find that Mei Xiang, who had been kneeling beside her, was actually lying on the ground.

She reached out to push Mei Xiang. ”Mei Xiang!” Mei Xiang, wake up! ”

She smelled a delicate fragrance that made the world spin, causing her to lose consciousness as well.

”Lan!” ”Lan!” As gentle calls echoed in her ears, she slowly regained consciousness.

Why was this voice so familiar? When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a handsome face. She took a step back in shock, ”Big Brother Ye? Why are you here? ”

”Lan, don't be afraid!” Mu Qingye's eyes were filled with love as he said, ”I'll take you with me!”

”Take me away? ”Why are you taking me away?”
