The underground private cell is rarely lively at this time, and the wall lamps that are usually extinguished to save money are also lit one by one. However, these faint lights are not the brightest and brightest in this cell. hot.Brighter than these candlesticks is a brazier placed in front of Gao Pan. The charcoal in the brazier is already red and burning, and the heat waves that come out hit Gao Pan's dry and cracked face layer by layer, making Gao Pan Sweat dripped from his body continuously, pouring into his still fresh wound.

At this time, Gao Pan was pierced through the lute bone by two big iron hooks, and his body was covered with signs of whipping, blood was flowing from the wound, and he was hanging his head half dead on the torture rack.

"What an amazing tough guy." The girl's voice was clear and gentle, as refreshing as the cool spring water, but what she said was different from the spring wind and rain in her tone.

Gao Pan half-closed his eyes, looked at the gorgeous woman who appeared at an unknown time, and squeezed out a difficult and broken compliment from his throat. "I haven't seen the princess for a few days...the princess is still young..."

"Really?" The woman named Annan smiled slightly, the gold leaf on her forehead was reflected by the light of the brazier, as bright as her shining eyes.She stared at Gao Pan on the torture rack with gentle and affectionate eyes, took a step forward, stretched out her hand to caress the short stubble under Gao Pan's chin and said slowly: "It seems that you have eaten a lot in the past few days." suffering, haggard so much."

"Ahem... Thank you, princess, for your concern." Gao Pan coughed a few times, and blood spilled from the corners of his dark purple lips. For some reason, when the girl appeared in front of him, his eyes that had been tortured to be chaotic became clear. A lot, as if the soul was awakened by something.

"You let me down." Annan sighed, put down his hand touching Gao Pan's chin, deliberately lowered a pair of slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and looked sad, "I thought Brother Gao would never betray me, after all You are so upright and unmoved by external objects."

She boasted that Gao Pan had a regretful expression, and the expressionless guard behind her understood what she meant when she saw her raising her hand backwards.The red soldering iron was pulled out from the brazier, and the guard wrapped the less hot part in a cloth and handed it to Annan.

Gao Pan watched Annan take over the soldering iron, and said, "The slave let the Princess down...willing to be punished."

"It will be punished." Annan shook the soldering iron with a smile, and branded the hot end on Gao Pan's chest with a slow movement.For a moment, white smoke came out from the ground where the iron was in contact with the flesh. Gao Pan's body convulsed and the chains made a chaotic noise, but he still did not utter a single syllable through gritting his teeth.

Seeing this, Annan's smile did not change, and she praised again: "Brother Gao is really a tough guy." Then she blinked, and suddenly a name popped out of her mouth, "Liu Zhilan."

"!" Gao Pan stared at Annan, his pupils dilated upon hearing this.

"She is a good girl who is as she is." Annan said, handing the soldering iron back to the guard, and took out a box from the wide sleeve, a somewhat old pear wood box, slender and slender as if it could only hold Put the hairpin on the woman's head.

"It...how is it in your hand?" Gao Pan asked, his voice trembling.

"It just came into my hands." An Nan said, rubbing the rough engraved pattern on the box, and said: "Brother Gao's hands have always been so skillful."

"Miss Liu's hand is just as clever as yours. Not only is it so clever, it's also beautiful...it's as beautiful as a green onion." While speaking, Annan pointed the opening direction of the box at Gao Pan, opened it slowly, and his face was as bright as the warm sun The smile on her face became even brighter, "Don't you think it's so beautiful?"

On the soft dark red brocade, under the bright firelight, a pale and slender severed finger was suddenly presented to Gao Pan, and a small mole was easily pierced at the second joint on the back of the severed finger Gao Pan has always been calm.He began to panic, even though he didn't speak, but his lips kept moving, the chain shook slightly, he was struggling slightly, whether it was his body or his heart.

Annan gracefully picked up the severed finger from the brocade box, looked at it and said with a smile to Gao Pan: "I knew that it would not be fame, wealth, gold, silver and jewelry that can impress Brother Gao, and now it seems to be the same as I guessed. It’s the beauty Xie Yu who disturbed Brother Gao.”

"I believe Brother Gao is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If I use you, I will definitely not say anything."

"But that's okay." Annan put the severed finger back into the wooden box, and without closing it, put it on the dilapidated table within Gao Pan's sight, and said, "The future is long, I will bring Miss Liu to see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel that she had made a mistake, and added, "I brought a part of Miss Liu to see you."

Gao Pan didn't seem to hear what she was saying, and stared at the severed finger in a daze.

"Sixteen, let's go back and let Brother Gao think about it." Annan looked at Gao Pan's expression that was gradually ashamed, and smiled even more.

"Yes." The man in black, who had been in Annan as if he didn't exist, bowed his head, turned around and opened the iron door of the cell.

At the last moment when Annan was about to step out of the cell, the sound of iron chains suddenly rang loudly, and he heard Gao Pan's voice like a mournful cry; "I say! Princess, I say."

However, Annan didn't look back, and after the guards locked him out of the cell, he said softly, "Brother Gao, don't worry, there are a lot of things on the left and right people, and you have a lot of time to think about it slowly. Even if it's on Miss Liu I don't have enough time, I have other people who can give you time to think."

After saying that, she stopped looking at the slumped Gao Pan behind her and left directly. With her moving steps, the candles in the cell were gradually extinguished.Soon, except for the pot of fire in front of Gao Pan, there was no light in the entire cell, but next to the pot of fire was the wooden box containing the severed finger. The severed finger was placed there so clearly that Gao Pan couldn't help but close it out of sight.

Princess Annan is a femme fatale with a hidden knife in her smile, this is something that everyone in the imperial capital knows.This princess is the only daughter of the Zhenguo family who is most favored by the emperor in the court. She has a beautiful face but a very vicious heart.When the Princess of Annan was only 12 years old, in front of a large number of princes and grandchildren of the imperial capital, as well as young talents, she forcibly gouged out the eyes of a disrespectful disciple.It has left a deep shadow in the hearts of those silly, sweet and white teenagers who are innocent and innocent at the beginning of their love.It is also because of this that the rumors that Princess Annan eats human flesh, drinks human blood, and sleeps on human skin spread like wildfire in Beijing, spreading all over the streets and alleys, causing Zhen Guogong, who was already worried about his daughter's future marriage, to have a headache.

Now Princess Annan is twenty-one, and the apricot tree planted when she was born in the family is already towering, but there are only a handful of people who dare to come to propose marriage.

Annan walked out of the secret passage, and the transition from darkness to light made her squint her eyes unconsciously.After walking a few steps, a bustling street appeared in front of her, with various small shops on both sides of the street selling enthusiastically, and from time to time, people dressed in simple or gorgeous clothes walked past her.

The sky was bright and bright, and there was a lot of people.

"It's really a peaceful and prosperous world." Annan sighed with a smile, and suddenly turned around and asked the silent Shiliu behind him, "What is the name of the flower building we are going to release later?"

"Xiangmanlou, South Lane." Sixteen replied, the sentence was very short.

Annan turned around when he heard the words, smiled at the stern-faced Shiliuqiao and said, "Since we are going to the Daughter's Country, the Rouge Cave, and the Ecstasy Tomb later, should you accept your horrible man?" The expression on your face? The girl in Hualou is pretty, it would be bad if you startle her."

"Yes." The sixteenth answer, as soon as the voice fell, a burst of vigorous anger spread from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his brows and mouth, but in an instant, his whole demeanor changed, and he became a somewhat funny full-faced man. A person with a happy face.

"This is much better, although my Shiliu looks better with a cold face." Annan seemed to nod his head in satisfaction, looking at Shiliu with the same gaze as before, as gentle and affectionate as a lover.

As a result, Sixteen turned back into an ice cube face.

Gold is the unique color of the royal family, and it is especially noble when it is embroidered with flying dragons and phoenixes.Annan walked into the gate of Xiangmanlou wearing a luxurious golden embroidered robe, and people noticed her the first time she appeared.A young and beautiful woman who is noble at first glance, with a servant behind her who can't hide her murderous look, appears in Hualou, a place where men have fun.Whether they knew Annan or not, they all thought she was a bad person.

'Could it be that the wife of the high-ranking official came to catch the rape? Some people in the crowd guessed, and they all pointed at An Nan, discussing a lot.After all, no one would think that there would be such a woman with an unusual status, who would come to Hualou to prostitute with great fanfare and without concealment.

However, Annan was indeed here to whore. She casually glanced at the people with different expressions, and her gentle eyes met the old bustard who hurried over.

"Oh, what a lady with temperament!" The old bustard greeted Annan, and her mouth was a flattering compliment, and then she looked her up and down halfway, with a hypocritical smile, and asked as if flattering: "Madam is here?" Are you looking for someone? I don’t know who the lady is looking for? Tell the slave, as long as you are still here, the slave will take you there immediately.”

However, despite what she said, her fat body kept swaying from side to side naturally, intending to completely block Annan's gaze at the crowd.

Annan smiled lightly, and answered the wrong question: "I heard that the fourth brother said that he recently bought a flower house, and it seems that the business is good."

"Fourth brother?" The bustard pretended to be surprised, and asked Annan seriously with exaggerated movements, "Then I don't know how to call Madam?"

"Annan." Annan leaned close to the old bustard's ear and whispered, breathing like blue out of habit.

Hearing that the old bustard's complexion changed, and her actions became serious like her expression. She first whispered a few words to the beautiful girl beside her, and then stretched out her hand sideways to lead Annan up to the third floor.At the same time, the pretty girl walked towards the crowd with eyes full of smiles, and with a few words, the group of people willingly dispersed to various places in the building to continue their search for fun.

"Easy as a frightened bird, graceful as a wandering dragon, glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and a splendid spring pine." Someone in the crowd muttered softly. Annan just heard his voice, and stopped and looked down for no apparent reason. A pair of black and bright eyes.

The speaker was a scholar, with a frail and delicate appearance, thin and thin, wearing a green shirt, with an old bamboo shovel pinned to his waist.The temperament is even more clean, incompatible with the wanderers around, like a green lotus that emerges from the mud and is not stained.

It really is a clean stream in the troubled times.Annan thought about it, and smiled back when the scholar greeted her with a blushing face.

But this kind of person will be punished in modern times.Annan withdrew his gaze and followed the bustard who was leading the way. His perfect and delicate side face, set off by jewels, confuses the scholar's eyes.

"I just saw a very special scholar in Tsing Yi. Do you know him?" After sitting down, Annan smiled and asked the bustard who was standing by the table. Unfortunately, I just saw a smear of bamboo green mixed with the bright colors.

The old bustard also followed Annan's line of sight to see the scholar, with a look of disdain for a moment, and said: "That guy is called Liu Sheng, and he is a scholar who came from Lingzhou to catch the exam."

"Willow..." Annan repeated the name with a smile, and asked the old bustard again: "You don't seem to like this guest very much."

"He's not a guest at all, he's just a poor boy who cheats on girls with some sour poems." The old bustard said, obviously unhappy with Liu Sheng for a long time.

"Really? I feel happy when I see him." Annan glanced at Liu Sheng in the crowd. Although he said that he liked him on the surface, he secretly agreed with the apt and brief description of the old bustard.

Seeing what An Nan said, the old bustard immediately knew that if he hurt Liu Sheng again, he would offend the master, so he changed the topic, "The princess came here just in time, today can be regarded as the most lively day for us in Xiangmanlou."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"Today is the day when we elect the oiran in Xiangmanlou. All the beautiful girls in the building will perform on stage today. Although the girls here are all in the shape of willows, they are not as good as you, the princess, but let the princess It's enough for you to watch the excitement." The old bustard said hastily, pointing to Annan for the large stage decorated with many flowers and ribbons, which is also the place where the scholars and the crowd are watching.

Annan naturally knew this, but he still followed the old bustard's words and asked, "How to vote?"

"When the time comes, the girls will perform on the stage one by one. If the guests think the girl's performance is good, they can bid for her. The girl with the highest bid will be the oiran of this year, and the guest with the highest bid will She is the guest of honor for the oiran tonight."

"If the princess likes that girl, you can let the servants bid for it, so as not to spoil the mouths of those idlers." The old bustard said, tabooing the rumors in Beijing, he dared not treat Annan as an ordinary lady, so he boldly put her in the client's place. position.

Annan, who originally came here for whoring, naturally would not blame her, but smiled a little deeper and said slowly: "No need, since I came here today, I want everyone to know who is here."

"That's why the slave is talking too much." The old bustard said, even more confused about Annan's purpose for coming here.

"You go down first, if necessary, I will send someone to call you."

"Yes."

After the bustard retreated, Annan's gentle smile immediately subsided a lot.She got up and went to the window to look down at Liu Sheng who was surrounded in front of the stage, her smile getting colder.

'The male protagonist appeared, and it seems that the female protagonist is not far away. '

"Shiliu, can you find out when that girl will appear on stage?" Annan looked back at Shiliu, who had the same shadow behind him.

"Sixteen." Sixteen answered, still short.

"Huh?" Annan smiled interestedly, and asked intentionally, "I asked you when that girl will appear on stage, why did you answer your own name?"

Sixteen was annoyed, and replied: "It is No. 16."

"So, it seems that this girl is destined to be my Sixteenth." Annan smiled, still gentle.
