Chapter 1

  Yaoyue is leaning on the door and looking far away, listening to the  joyful sounds from the guests in the main courtyard not far away. The red lanterns brighten the sky above the courtyard. The liveliness in there was in sharp contrast with the darkness and bleakness here.

    Today is the bridal night for that man and that sister, the man who had promised that he would take her sister as his wife and marry her. The one who kept saying that he had a deep relationship with her sisters for more than ten years, and he will never leave her sister...

Should she bless them?

Yaoyue leaned her head weakly on the door, her eyes gleaming with water, but she still stubbornly refused to let them fall. Yaoyue didn't understand, he had clearly said that he was going to marry her, but he also had clearly said that he would be marrying her sister no matter what happened. Is it because of the so-called love in their mouths?

    Have they ever thought that in order to save him, she guarded him who was injured and unconscious all night, but in the end, her reputation was ruined and because of that her stepmother couldn't tolerate her, and she was finally driven out by the Lan family and forced to live in the side courtyard of his house.

What did he say at the time?

He will be responsible for her all her life!

But in less than a year, his words still echoed in her ears, but he had long forgotten, and turned around and took the other woman into his arms. That person... Was the younger sister she has been caring for since childhood...

    Yaoyue  bite her lips, took a deep breath, and resisted the tears in her eyes. She waved her hand weakly, "Go and fetch the peach wine which was buried in the West Garden."

    "Madam...Doctor Luo said that you can't drink anymore in this situation..." Lu Ran, a personal maid who accompanied her since childhood said worriedly.

    "Today, let me get drunk again..." Yaoyue shook her head in tears. "Hurry up, take  the pot with the blue  ribbon... that pot lasts the longest." Her voice was very soft, so light that it almost disappeared with the wind. Fortunately, it was quiet here, and Lu Ran could still hear it.

    "Then it's cold outside. The madam should go back to the room and wait for the servant girl. The servant girl will come back as soon as possible."

    "Yeah..." Yaoyue nodded lightly, Lu Ran was still a little worried. She looked back at her after three steps, but saw Yaoyue waving patiently, she had no choice but to trot away.

    Yaoyue  watch Lu Ran walk away, return to the room and take out a big red dress to put it on, and then carefully put makeup. She stared at herself in the mirror in a daze, and couldn't help touching her unparalleled face. Compared with her, her sister could only be regarded as lovely at best, but even so, she managed to steal his heart." No matter how beautiful it looks, what use can it be..." Yaoyue muttered to herself, got up and walked to the side of the red candle step by step.   

  She picked up the candlestick.

"The white is like snow on a mountain, as bright as the moon between clouds. Wen Jun has two intentions, so we must meet each other. Today's drinking party, Mingdan ditch ahead. On the imperial ditch, the ditch water flows east and west. Sad and sorrowful, no need to cry for marriage..." Yaoyue recited a poem as she lit all the soft cloth with a candlestick, the flames everywhere finally dispelled the severe cold all over her, and made her feel a little bit more refreshed.   

  She looked at the burning flames and smiled brightly, her smile was more dazzling than the raging fire. 

There were many guests in the main hall, and the noisy people almost couldn't hear each other, but everyone still noticed the fire light not far away.

"Hey...what's going on over there?"  

  "We need some water! The west courtyard is on fire!"

They don't know who shouted it first, and everyone was shocked. 

   Sikong Yunchu, the groom who was dealing with the guests to toast, looked lazily in the direction of the fire, frowning slightly, "Don't panic everyone, it's a partial courtyard, it won't affect this place, the housekeeper will deal with it."    

Sitting on the guests. The doctor Luo among them stood up and looked over there, "Isn't that Miss Lan's residence?"

The maidservant on the side quickly replied, "Yes." 

   "Quickly, take me over!" Doctor Luo's expression changed. Hurriedly walked out.   

  Sikong Yunchu looked at Doctor Luo's back and didn't intend to go there at first, but now he can only go and have a look. This should be not Lan Yaoyue's scheme to ruin the wedding, otherwise he would definitely not let her go.    

When everyone arrived at the courtyard, the fire was already burning too much. The housekeeper hurriedly greeted him, "Your highness, this fire is too big to save!"

Sikong Yunchu waved his hand impatiently, "Then dig a ditch in the middle, and don't let the fire come over!"

    "But Madam Lan..." The housekeeper couldn't bear it.

    Sikong Yunchu showed his disgust, "This fire is the one that she make and she can die if she want to die. Who else can stop it!"

"But today is your day of marriage after all, if this kills..." The butler said in low voice.

    Sikong Yunchu coldly smiled, "It's okay, this Lord don't believe in superstition!"

    "No! Hurry up and save her!"Doctor Luo walked up wet, and looked back at Sikong Yunchu fiercely. "What the hell are you talking about, Madam Lan was already two months pregnant, this will be one corpse and two lives!"

    Sikong Yunchu was taken aback, and could not help but think of the night two months ago when he was drunk and mistakenly regarded her as Yingyue, it happened just once but she got pregnant?

Sikong Yunchu saw Doctor Luo going to run inside, and subconsciously pulled Doctor Luo  "No...no!"

With Yingyue's personality, if she knew that Lan Yaoyue had a child, she would run away!

    "You are crazy, what are you doing with me? If I don't hurry to save her, if I don't save her now,  I won't be able to save them!" Dr. Luo shouted.

    "Haha..." Yaoyue, who was sitting quietly surrounded by the flames, couldn't help but laughed out. "Doctor Luo, don't bother. The prince is afraid that the news that I have a baby will affect his relationship with Yingyue, let alone I want to die, so I won't give anyone a chance to save me." Yaoyue's voice was calm, as if it was not her who was waiting to die, and she will not  be burned by the fire.

    Sikong Yunchu couldn't help but froze, Lan Yaoyue's tone at this time gave him a familiar feeling.

    Doctor Luo Shen patiently persuaded, "Madam Lan, you still have a child in your stomach, just don't think about yourself, don't you think about the child? Obedient, come out soon!"

    Yaoyue shook her head slightly, "Yaoyue thanked the genius doctor good intentions, but the unblessed child, it will be better to die with me. At least we both have a companion when we die!"

    "What nonsense, why is he not blessed!" Luo Shen was anxious. He's sweating profusely.

    Yaoyue did not pay attention to him. "Sikong Yunchu, you are so pitiful..." She looked at the night sky above her head and said softly, "You have been here since you were young and are controlled by people everywhere, but you always want to control your own destiny in your own way. So you hate everything that others have arranged for you, that's the reason why you hate me. Do you remember how you cautiously begged me to marry you, but just because Concubine Xiao mentioned me, you began to stay away from me."
