Chapter 140: Death

Lan Indigo understood what An Lan meant, paused, and said, "I heard that many people who were sent to the torture court wanted to die, but no one ever succeeded. ”

In this sentence, I don't know how many things are hidden that people dare not explore.

The night wind was getting colder, and An Lan couldn't help but shiver.

Just a moment later, An Lan asked again: "The Torture Court, which hall does it belong to?" ”

Lan Indigo glanced at An Lan in some surprise, and An Lan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Did I ask something that shouldn't be asked?" ”

"Not really." Lan Indigo shook his head, "It's not a secret, since there was the Changxiang Palace, the Punishment Court has always been under the Tianshu Palace, and the Punishment Court attendants are directly appointed by the Great Incense Master of the Tianshu Palace. ”

Therefore, even if the ranking of the seven halls is not divided into before and after, the status of the seven great incense masters is not superior, but the Tianshu Hall has always been recognized by everyone as the head of the seven halls, so Bai Guanghan's every move has attracted the attention of countless people.

Therefore, it is natural that An Lan and the county lord of Danyang will be stared at by so many pairs of eyes.

Chi Shao handed over Xiao Ke to the Criminal Court, which was equivalent to showing his attitude in front of Bai Guanghan, and this decision was indeed ruthless enough. There was such a feeling, but in order to avoid suspicion, she immediately sent Xiao Ke to a place where she couldn't even die. It's just that such ruthlessness can show her loyalty even more, Bai Guanghan and Tianshu Hall have always been ranked first in her heart, and for so many years, she has proved this point again and again with reality.

It is precisely because of this that she can be valued by Bai Guanghan, even if she is not selected as the heir by Bai Guanghan. But he can still have great power in the Heavenly Pivot Palace.

When the crowd dispersed. Red Peony also returned to Xingyue Residence. It's just that when she walked in, she turned her head to look at An Lan again.

The look in his eyes was a little jealous and sneering.

She knew that An Lan wanted to use this matter to restrain her, but the little girl was too naΓ―ve, she never cared about the eyes of others, she only cared about Mr. Guanghan's opinion of herself.

Lan Indigo also turned her head to glance at An Lan, but An Lan lowered her eyes at this time. I don't know if I deliberately avoided Chi Shao's eyes, or if I was thinking about something. It wasn't until Chi Shao entered the Xingyue Residence and closed the courtyard door that Lan Indigo spoke: "Girl, it's time to go back." ”

An Lan nodded slightly, turned around and walked in the direction of the Companion Moon Residence.

Lan Indigo followed her, and now she is An Lan's maid, and she will also live in Banyue Ju in the future.

"Girl, really, isn't she worried at all?" Lan Indigo asked something like that again, although she had understood something before. But after getting along with each other one day, she felt. My previous "understanding" was a complete mistake. This girl is so silent that she doesn't feel like she has a sense of zΓ i many times, but every time she does something, it's very surprising.

An Lan still didn't speak, but when she returned to the Moon Residence, her footsteps paused slightly, and she took a few glances at the place where the county lord of Danyang lived. She still has half a year to turn fifteen years old, if according to her mother-in-law, she is still half a child, at this age, in the face of such a thing, it is normal to worry.

After a short pause, An Lan walked back to her room.

She is a normal person, and in the face of such a confrontation and such a thing, of course she will be worried, and even feel unfair...... However, she always warned herself that she could not be affected by these negative feelings, let alone show the slightest anxiety and uneasiness on her face, and never let others see her weakness.

"Tonight's affair won't end so easily." After entering the room, An Lan suddenly said a word, and her tone was affirmative.

Lan Indigo was stunned and puzzled: "Does the girl mean the red peony serving incense, or does she refer to Xiao Ke?" ”

An Lan was silent for a while before saying, "Xiao Ke." ”

Lan Indigo was even more puzzled: "Why?" ”

An Lan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Are you familiar with the people in the criminal court?" ”

Lan Indigo shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I'm just an ordinary maid, unless the girl can be reused in the future, I will always be just an ordinary maid." ”

An Lan was slightly surprised, Lan Di bowed slightly, and explained: "Since Gongzi Jing sent me to the girl, it is impossible to take it back, so please believe in me." ”

An Lan hurriedly replied: "Sister Lan Indigo is polite, I don't understand anything now, there are many things that Sister Lan Indigo needs to mention, I hope Sister Lan Indigo doesn't hide her secrets." ”

Lan Indigo smiled: "The girl just asked about the Torture Court? ”

"Well...... An Lan nodded slightly, "I'm just worried that Xiao Ke will have an accident." ”

Perhaps out of admiration for Bai Guanghan, Lan Indigo had great confidence in the Criminal Court, so she shook her head: "The girl is too worried, unless the people in the Criminal Court don't want her to live, there will be no accidents." ”

An Lan's heart was shocked, what she was worried about was the self-theft of the guards, but if such a thing really happened, it would be beneficial to her, and at that time, it would be Chi Shao who should have a headache.

Will it be so?

On this night, several people had difficulty sleeping.

The county lord of Danyang tossed and turned in the simple room with a peculiar smell, thinking about Chen Dawei's incense for a while, and thinking about what An Lan would do after returning to the Tianshu Palace. After thinking about it for a long time, just when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she was suddenly awakened by the noise outside, and she got up suddenly.

After she woke Xiulan up, she asked Xiulan to ask what was wrong.

Xiulan rubbed her eyes and went out, and after about a quarter of an hour, she came back with a look of surprise, and hurriedly walked to the bed side of the county lord of Danyang and said, "The county lord, that Li Xiaomei, is dead!" ”

"What?" The county lord of Danyang sat up directly, "How did you die?" ”

"Jump into the river, just the river in front of you." Xiulan rubbed her two arms, "The corpses have been scooped up, and the slave didn't dare to look at it, but several people looked back and said it was Li Xiaomei!" ”

"How so!" The county lord of Danyang was a little stunned, and after a while, he hurriedly asked again, "What about Chen Dawei?" ”

"He's fine, when the slave just went out, he was still looking at him from afar!" When Xiulan said this, she couldn't help it, and said in a low voice, "Many people say that Li Xiaomei is martyrdom, but I look at that woman, her temperament is so twisted, she doesn't look like a person who can do such things." ”

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and it was the time when it was dark before dawn, and there was not the slightest light in the sky.

After asking the time, the county lord of Danyang simply got out of bed, then pushed open the window and looked in the direction of the Changxiang Hall in contemplation.

Almost at the same time, An Lan, who had already fallen asleep, seemed to be startled in a dream, and then woke up, she just woke up, but she didn't call people out, just lay on the bed, staring at the curtain in a daze.

However, it didn't take long for her to be in a daze when she heard Lan Indigo calling her outside: "Girl? ”

"Come in." An Lan sat up, knowing that something was probably wrong.

Lan Indigo walked in with a glass lamp, and after lighting all the lights and candles in the house, she walked to An Lan's side, looked at her for a while and said, "Xiao Ke is dead, it is said that he committed suicide by taking poison." (To be continued......)
