Her thoughts immediately stopped, and the warmth of Fang Cai disappeared like a cloud of smoke, and she told herself that the person in front of her was the murderer of her brother, and they could only be enemies in this life.

One day, they will show their true colors, and then all illusions will be torn apart.

Lu Yiran felt the person behind him slowly leaning over, and he got up, his heart filled with a strange feeling.

It would be nice to have a longer journey.

With this thought to himself, he walked slowly down the stairs to the second floor, making a very small noise on the red carpet.

Both were silent.

In the distance, a door quietly closes. Qiulan lowered her head and covered the door.

Their intimate behavior, isn't it stinging her heart?

She is unwilling, why does she have nothing? Why does his gaze refuse to stay on himself?

Qiulan's hands had already plucked out blood, and her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, but when she looked closely, there was endless darkness and despair.

The pothos quietly retreated behind the screen, she didn't know what happened to Qiulan, why it became so terrifying, and one more thing... No, she had to find a chance to tell Miss.

"Ruan Ruan, what the hell is going on?" Lu Yiran and Lu Xihe came to the upper room, he closed the door casually, put her down, and asked with concern.

Lu Xihe said: "Big brother, is there anyone else in the inn?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Could it be that she has discovered her power?

"If it's all our people, how can I be captured by that man in such a good way? Why didn't anyone notice it? There must be other people among us. He lurks around us, stealing information and colluding with the people behind the scenes. I felt a cold gaze on my back, and I was sure that he was in the inn, big brother, and we had to get him out. ”

Lu Yiran reassured: "This matter is quite strange, and I have sent someone to investigate secretly." There will be results soon, rest assured, no one will come to hurt you again. ”

Lu Xihe smiled stiffly, and suddenly remembered something, how could his personal maids Qiulan and Green Pothos not notice it?

Qiulan has studied medicine since she was a child, and she tasted herbs, which can be said to be inviolable to all kinds of poisons. Why does she happen to be tricked every time she has something?

Lu Xihe's gaze slowly fell on Lu Yiran's body, no, she always felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that today's events are causing you to be suspicious?

Qiulan grew up with her, and she definitely wouldn't harm her.

As for the pothos, she has not been reused before, and this person still needs to be considered.

She won't give them any conclusions until she has solid evidence.

But if she knows, whoever dares to betray her, she will let that person know what the fate of betraying her will be.

Lu Yiran hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you reading some books about the legal code?" A girl's family, reading some poetry and songs, or history books and biographies, is always better than these things. ”

"Why is it not appropriate for women to read these books?" Lu Xihe asked rhetorically.

Books like this are important things for the imperial court to govern the country, and reading them is just annoying and sad, and there is not much benefit. Or do you want to ......" Lu Yiran paused, I see, no wonder she came to the capital with her so obediently this time!

"I'm going to be a female officer." Lu Xihe said.

Her voice was firm, and her eyes shone brightly, it was the pursuit of faith, it was the light of hope.

"No, you can't." Lu Yiran said coldly.

"Why not?"

"You don't know the complexity of the court and the darkness of the human heart. Even if you are a female official, you will be oppressed. If you want not to be oppressed, you have to find ways to climb up. Power, lust, these things will blind you, and you will lose yourself and become another person. I don't want to see you like that. Lu Yiran held her hand, "What do you want, tell me, and I will do my best to satisfy you, except to be a female official." ”

"Big brother, you really don't understand me at all." She withdrew her hand, "People live for a lifetime, if they can't realize their value, they will go in vain." ”

"Can you only realize your value if you are a female officer? You can choose to do whatever you want, so why be so dead-eyed? You know how dangerous the road is! Lu Yiran was extremely angry, "You, you, you ......"

"Someone! Look at her! Lu Yiran stood up, "I will never let you be a female official, you will die of this heart." ”

Impermanence and the others waited outside, and when Lu Yiran approached the door, he tacitly stood on both sides, guarding the door.

"No one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders." Lu Yiran said coldly.

"Yes." Impermanence should be.

The sound of his footsteps gradually faded away, Lu Xihe sat quietly on the couch, and suddenly laughed, the sun reflected in her hair, warm and gentle. She is like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world, no one can solve it, no one can come close.

Impermanence lowered her head, the subordinate could not look directly at the master, his afterglow happened to see her movements, she moved slightly, took off the pen and wrote on the paper.

Impermanence closes the door with his own hands.

Through the narrower and narrower crack of the door, all he saw was a weak girl who had lost her freedom.

That, the little girl who has been controlled by people since she was a child. Now she no longer cries and makes trouble, she is becoming more and more unpredictable.

"Hey." He turned his back, these daughters of big families are really pitiful.

Lu Xihe wrote a few words on the paper, sealed it in an envelope, and put it on the desk.

"No one can stop me." She raised the corners of her mouth, and a confident look flew to her face, she had been preparing for so many years, and everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.

She walked to the window, pushed it open, and the scent of flowers hit her.

There are still people on the street, "The weather is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candle...", it seems to be the third watch. The appearance of all beings in the world is so interesting.

"Miss, are you there?" Impermanence's voice came from outside the door, "It's all adults outside, useless." ”

Lu Xihe leaned against the window, and chuckled when he heard this: "You don't think I'm going to escape, do you?" ”

……

"Miss, rest early, no one will be able to threaten Miss's safety tonight."

After impermanence finished speaking, he never said a word again.

Lu Xihe disappeared, leaving only a letter. To the effect that Lu Yiran should not worry, he would naturally come back after a while.

Lu Yiran was so anxious that she sent people around to find her. Strangely, no trace of her could be found anyway, and it was as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

In fact, on the first night she escaped, she ran into Bai Xi and others who were on the night watch, and Bai Xi immediately sent the news to Ning Yan.

The two soon met again.

"After a while, I will take the recommendation examination of the Criminal Department."

"Want to be a female officer?" Ning Yan was quite surprised.

"Yes."

Ning Yan didn't agree with her thoughts, "The criminal department has a lot of trouble, you delicate girl can't bear it." ”

"In the early years, the Empress Jingyang created a female official system, and there are female officials in all ministries, and others can do it, why can't I?" She opened the corner of the carriage curtain, and when she saw Ning Yan riding on the horse with a serious face, she couldn't help but say, "Does your injury still hurt?" ”

Ning Yan noticed her gaze, she was caring about herself? He was in a happy mood, and the corners of his mouth raised a good-looking arc, "This injury is nothing." I'll take you to my other courtyard, where there is no one but the mother-in-law who cleans. ”

Lu Xihe felt very strange, he had nothing to do with him, why did he live in his other hospital?

"No need, I've already sent someone to buy a mansion, please ask Your Highness to send me there."

Lu Xihe handed the note out, and Ning Yan took it and looked at it, "You are really weird." Everyone else rushed to beg me, I want to help you, but you don't want to. ”

"We don't have anything to do with each other, you've helped me a lot. I don't know how to thank you yet. "So, don't come any closer, and don't be nice to her again.

"Doesn't matter?" Ning Yan repeated her words, "Who has anything to do with you?"

Lu Xihe didn't want to continue this meaningless conversation, and pretended not to hear.

Ning Yan's face was extremely bad, he knew that he had nothing to do with her, but he was very annoyed when he could say it from her mouth.

Ning Yan turned over and dismounted suddenly, and the coachman immediately stopped. He stepped into the carriage in three steps and two steps, and saw her sitting in the carriage, looking at him ignorantly. His anger suddenly ran out of the clouds, and the words that he was about to ask turned into "I scared you?" ”

Lu Xihe didn't know why his mood changed so quickly, and nodded lightly. Ning Yan was a little embarrassed, sat down on the side and coughed and said, "I have some friendship with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, if you really want to go to the Criminal Department, it is not a difficult matter." ”

"Are you here to send warmth?" Lu Xihe covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes shining.

Ning Yan was in a trance, and said with a weak heart: "I didn't help you in vain, when I need you in the future, you have to help me." ”

When he lied to her, the roots of his ears turned red, he shouldn't have known it, right?

Lu Xihe snickered in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders, the living Hades had such a cute side.

"Your Highness's kindness has been understood, but the recommendation exam has taken the lead, if Your Highness still goes through the back door for me, wouldn't it be unfair to others?"

Ning Yan heard her address to herself, and her face was displeased, "Speak well, what is the daughter of His Royal Highness, it sounds awkward." ”

Lu Xihe changed his words and said: "I have long memorized the code, and even the cases of the past dynasties have been memorized. The exam questions of the Criminal Department should not be difficult for me. ”

Ning Yan wanted to support her very much, but none of those people in the Criminal Department were easy to get along with. If she goes to that kind of place, will she be bullied? Secretly crying nose when the time comes?

"What are you doing in the Punishment Department? Do you know what that place is? Ning Yan suddenly became serious, "In the prison of the Criminal Department, countless people are tortured every day, and they can't survive or die. People who have a chance to escape, do you know how they treat the people who have tormented them? There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing they can't do. ”

Lu Xihe said: "If a criminal violates the forbidden law, he must be executed, why leave him alive to give him a chance to come out and continue to do evil?" ”

"Why are you so naïve? If he could have been put to death, he would have been put to death a long time ago. ”

"I don't care what they do, and I don't want to know. All I know is that statutes exist to regulate human behavior. If it is not punished ruthlessly, the evildoer will think that it is nothing for him to do evil, and he will not have to pay a heavy price anyway. He will intensify and cause more harm to others. Therefore the one who transgresses the law of death must have his head cut off and let all know that this is the end of evil. ”

Ning Yan was amused by her serious appearance, "Let me ask you, if your closest person is persecuted by others, do you know who the real murderer is, will you take revenge on him?" ”

"I will."

"Then you hurt him, and the government wants to cut off your head, think about it, aren't you wronged? He was the one who killed people first, so why were you executed? Ning Yan continued to guide her.

"Isn't that fair? All of them paid the price for what he did. ”

Lu Xihe's answer surprised Ning Yan, "Who taught you these?" ”
