Konghou [Quick Transmigration]

The dark cell was as dark as before, the charcoal fire in the fire plate had long been extinguished, and the air in the cell was damp and cold with a musty smell.

After Annan left, Gao Pan was released from the rack by the jailer. At this time, he was huddled in the corner piled with hay, his head bowed down, and the rough pear box was tightly clutched in his arms.

The corridor leading to the cell was lit again.

Gao Pan looked out of the iron prison dully, and Annan's master and servant finally came again.

Annan didn't wear heavy makeup like yesterday, but a solemn white robe and black robe. His forehead was usually either cinnabar or gold leaf, and there was no makeup today, revealing the deep purple scars that had been covered up all year round.As soon as Gao Pan saw her like this, he knew what she was here for, so he put down the pear blossom box, sat up straight, and seemed to have recovered a lot.

"Is the princess going to see me off in person?" Gao Pan asked Annan in a hoarse voice. Passing Annan, Shiliu behind her was also in plain clothes.

Annan nodded and said with a smile: "I will be a teacher and a student with Brother Gao, and a master and a servant. This journey should be taken off."

"I also brought you wine." Annan raised his hand to signal the guard to open the lock, and entered the cell with Shiliu, who was holding the wine jar.The jailer brought three clean wine bowls, and Annan sat down on the dry grass and opened the mud of the wine jar, filled the three bowls one by one, put one of the bowls in front of Gao Pan, picked up the bowl and said slowly: "This bowl of wine, Sixteen and I respect you, our General Gao, Master Gao, and Brother Gao."

And Shiliu said a lot less, just followed Annan and said two words: "Respect you"

Perhaps it was because of the pain in the wound, or maybe it was because of other reasons, Gao Pan shook his hands like a sieve when serving the wine, and spilled a lot of wine.

Gao Pan suddenly raised his wrist and drank the wine, but suddenly he couldn't hold it anymore, and let the empty bowl shatter on the ground.He lowered his hand, looked at An Nan who just took a sip of the drink, and then at Shiliu who also drank the wine without saying a word.Suddenly he laughed in a low voice. After laughing, he covered his forehead like a headache, and said in a muffled voice, "General Gao? Master Gao? Brother Gao?"

"I'm not worthy." He hunched over, but his entire chest was twitching violently, like a dying beast struggling to bow its head to fate before dying.

Then he moved the hand covering his forehead to his eyes, raised his head and smiled wryly: "General Yu, I betrayed the people by cooperating with the enemy army. Master Yu, I can't stand as a teacher by treachery. Brother Yu...I have failed your loyalty."

Annan listened to him quietly, turned his eyes, and said with a smile: "At least, you defended the city gate for three days. At least, you once saved my life. At least...you chose to catch us without a fight."

"Princess." Gao Pan read Annan's name once and shook his head, "You are my best apprentice, and also... the one I hate the most."

"Hehe, Annan's luck." Annan accepted Gao Pan's evaluation with a smile.

"Since the wine is finished, our relationship between master and apprentice must be put aside." Annan signaled the jailer to take away the wine bowl, and said slowly: "Brother Gao, you should speak." After she finished speaking, she looked at Gao Pan, The jet-black pupils overflowed with light.

"Know everything without saying nothing."

South Lane, full of incense.

Bai Shuang sat quietly by the back window of the wing room, rubbing the newly delivered flute, lost in her own thoughts.According to the rules of Xiangmanlou, girls who are studying arts will officially work for the building after participating in the oiran competition, especially the oiran.

But she was an exception. Early in the morning, in front of the people Wang Sun Gonghou, the boxes with the official seal of the Zhen Guogong's mansion were carried into Xiangmanlou.

The person who gave the gift seemed to be a person of status and cultivation, but he stood at the door of Xiangmanlou and shouted loudly about the fact that the chief of Annan County had taken care of the oiran, in front of all the onlookers.After that, he let go of the cruel and stupid words that anyone who dares to rob someone from Princess Annan is openly opposing the Duke of Zhen.

At that time, Bai Shuangyin was watching from the attic, following his own personality and keeping silent.

She always felt that there was something magical about her as a guest, that is, she could always take unimaginable and unreasonable things for granted.Her overwhelming power made those discussions intolerable. People can only say that what she did was absurd, but they never felt that she couldn't do it, and she didn't deserve it.

Power is great.Bai Shuangyin looked at the boxes opened in front of the bustard, at the gold, silver and jewels that ordinary people would never earn in their lifetime, being dumped on the beautiful carpet like waste water, and at the beautiful girls in the flower building like a stinker. Flocks to the pile of money like flies.

Money is so good, it makes people noble and depraved, and turns them into beasts.Bai Shuangyin looked at the pile of jewels, couldn't help but took two steps down holding on to the railing, she also wanted to pounce on it.But she knew that she couldn't do this, and her intuition told her that as long as she held back, she could gain greater benefits.

The steward who brought the gifts looked at all this with a smile, then suddenly set his eyes on Bai Shuangyin, and nodded in satisfaction.

Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, she saw affirmation in the manager's eyes, as if she had passed some test.

Annan once again walked into Xiangmanlou through the dusk, stepping on those tiny golden rays of light.However, Bai Shuangyin still looked down from the railing on the second floor.

No... that shouldn't be the princess.Bai Shuang looked at the people surrounded by the girls who had benefited, the most indifferent color among the gorgeous crowd, pure black and white.She was surrounded by people in gorgeous clothes, and was still surrounded by people in mourning clothes, which was enviable.

"Isn't that my oiran?" Between the wild flowers and the waves, Annan looked up at Bai Shuangyin on the attic, his eyes reflected the colorful candlelight and the setting sun, his voice was still like a clear spring, and it was clearly transmitted even though it was so far away. Arrived at Bai Shuangyin's ears.

At night, Bai Shuangyin never took a closer look, and felt that her eyes were as black as thick ink. It wasn't until the sky brightened that she glanced at her, and Bai Shuangyin was surprised to find that those shining eyes were not pure black. Looking at her, his eyes were actually azure blue with passion.Like the waves of a lake blowing and wrinkling, rippling out ten miles of sparkling spring light.

Among the piles of rouge, slender hands lifted someone's long hair to sniff, but the smile on the corners of his lips was not frivolous.Bai Shuang looked at An Nan secretly, she was the one who came out of the mud and remained unstained, she was calm and unmoved in the sensuality, and she was not stained in the world of mortals.

The faces of the girls in Xiangmanlou are like lotus flowers, and their people are more delicate than flowers, but Annan is like a blue and blue flower slowly melting, which is completely different from them.Bai Shuangyin looked at her, and walked towards her under the yelling of the old bustard and the jealous eyes of the girls.A sense of superiority welled up in Bai Shuangyin's heart, at this moment, she seemed to be superior to them.

And all of this nobility comes from Zheng smiling and waiting for her. Since Bai Shuang was secretly proud of this recognition, it made her a little bit depressed.However, no matter how strong and complicated the desire floating in Bai Shuangyin's heart is, in the eyes of others, she is always like her expression, which is as fine as the snow has just melted, without dust.

Annan who had been watching Bai Shuangyin's eyes turned, and her gentle smile was always foggy on her face, making it impossible for anyone to see her true thoughts.When Bai Shuangyin just walked down the stairs, she smiled and said: "You just wait there, this is not a place to talk, let's go up when I come over."

Bai Shuangyin obediently stopped where she was, and stood there looking at Annan who turned to talk to the girls.

Annan didn't know what to say, the girls laughed and dispersed, and she walked towards Bai Shuangyin with a smile on her lips under everyone's gaze.

Bai Shuang recalled the discussion of the girls in the morning, it would be great if the princess was not the princess but the young master.If she were a man, would my heart be beating even harder at this moment?

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's go." In Bai Shuangyin's trance, Annan still came to her.

The bustard who was watching secretly also shouted: "Ouch! Hurry up to the princess and go to the wing!"

Bai Shuang regained her senses, but saw that An Nan had already taken a step ahead, so she had no choice but to follow behind her.

Still in the best wing room of Xiangmanlou, Annan sat down and drank tea casually after entering the door, but Bai Shuangyin became cramped because there were only two of them, and sat on the side, not knowing what to do.So she chose to look at Annan and wait and see what happened.

Annan noticed Bai Shuangyin's inquiring gaze.So he put down the teacup, looked at Bai Shuangyin with a smile, his eyes moved from her face to her temple hair, and finally stopped on the only ornament in the black hair, and said with a smile: "After all, my hairpin is too vulgar."

As he spoke, he took out another pear-blossom wooden box from his sleeve. Although the wooden box was a bit old, the jade hairpin inside was not old at all. The quality of the jade was flowing like water under the candlelight. It was exquisite and translucent. Good carver.

Annan took the jade hairpin out of the box and leaned towards Bai Shuangyin. Just as she was about to take off the plain hairpin stuck in her temple hair, Bai Shuangyin reached out to stop her.

"What's the matter? You don't like this hairpin?" Annan asked with a smile, and sat back.

Bai Shuangyin shook her head and explained: "I'm very happy with what the princess gave me. It's just that the one on my head is my mother's relic, and I don't want to take it off."

"That's it." Annan glanced at the plain hairpin again, put the jade hairpin back into the wooden box and handed it to Bai Shuangyin, and said slowly: "Then I'd better leave this hairpin to you, and let her handle it by herself."

"However, I'm curious about your mother. Can you tell me?" Annan asked naturally, with nothing wrong in his expression.

Bai Shuang was silent for a long time before slowly opening her mouth: "Although my mother is just an ordinary village woman, she has a small box full of jewels. My father often told my mother that the things in that box were priceless, but my mother never Don't let father and daughter open that box."

"At the beginning, my father and mother were very affectionate, but later, when I was seven years old, my father ran away with a girl from Xiangmanlou. My mother searched for him for more than ten days, and finally she was desperate."

"That day she took that little box and took me on a boat. When she was in the middle of the lake, she opened the box and sank all the most beautiful jewelry I've ever seen into the bottom of the lake. Then she wanted to drag me , I escaped, and she cried and jumped down by herself."

"Afterwards, I lost my parents and ended up here." Bai Shuangyin spoke in a soft voice while looking at Annan with eyes full of tears. After she finished speaking, a line of tears rolled down her face cheek.

However, Annan just looked at her quietly with a smile on his face, completely unmoved by her story.But after she finished speaking, she reached out to wipe away her tears and asked softly, "Where is that lake?"

"North of the city, Xingluo Lake, the location of Huxin Pavilion." Bai Shuangyin said immediately, and then realized that she was too excited, so she said in a weak voice, "That's where my mother was rescued, even though she was already dead at that time."

Hearing this, the smile on Annan's face deepened, and he said, "It seems that you can't wait to know about your mother."

Bai Shuangyin did not speak, her lips were tightly pressed.After she grew up, she gradually understood the reason why her mother didn't let her father use the things in the box to gamble. Those things were only available in the palace, and her mother didn't want them to be seen by others.She can probably guess that her mother may not be an ordinary person, or her status may not be as humble as it is now.

Bai Shuangyin is not a stupid person, she knows that An Nan favors her for no reason, it must be because she has something in her that the rich and powerful princess wants to know, she wants to seize this opportunity to get out of the mud and fly to the sky.

"Sigh." Annan sighed intentionally, and said, "I have something to do tomorrow."

Bai Shuangyin looked at her, holding the wooden box, her eyes full of anticipation and growing desire for something.
