"Brother Lan, if you have anything to hide, just tell me immediately. Why should you suffer?"

"Yeah, there's no use holding yourself tight like this. It's you who will suffer."

There were a bunch of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the water, biting Lan Jue's body from time to time. This was the most terrifying part of the water prison.

Lan Jue frowned, unable to figure out where he had revealed his flaw?

The door opened, and Nan Xi and Li Qingmo walked down the steps.

The other guards stood in a row nearby, bowing their heads respectfully: "Master, Mistress."

Nan Xi did not expect that Li Qingmo would throw Lan Jue into the water prison.

But it’s understandable when you think about the villain in the original work who hates betrayers the most.

Li Qingmo stood above, looking down at Lan Jue in the water below.

After a while, he asked: "Why?"

Lan Jue raised his head, and the first person he looked at was Nan Xi.

He asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"How did the mistress know that I wanted to kill Peony?"

No one in this house would think that he would take action against Shaoyao.

Even if he took over Shaoyao's sword, no one would think that he wanted to kill Shaoyao.

Except Nan Xi.

Nan Xi's first reaction was to knock Shaoyao down, and looked at him with wary eyes.

Nan Xi: "Why should I tell you?"

Even if he wanted to break Lan Jue's head, he would not think of going back in time.

Lan Jue chuckled and sighed: "I thought I had been planning for many years, step by step, and made no mistakes, but I didn't expect that the eagles would peck their eyes all the time."

There was a lot of disdain for Nan Xi in his tone.

Now that things have happened, he no longer needs to make any disguises.

Moreover, he also pretended to be tired.

Lan Jue looked at Li Qingmo: "Have you ever doubted me?"

Li Qingmo: "Don't use it if you doubt people, don't doubt people if you employ them."

Lan Jue, Xia Rui, Shaoyao and Hanlian, these four people were all grown up by him, and they were personally selected by him, so naturally they would not have any doubts.

Lan Jue smiled, "It seems that I have succeeded. If it hadn't been for tonight...I might have been able to hide in the Regent's Palace for a long time."

After a pause, Lan Jue endured the pain on his body and said: "You don't need to ask anything, I won't say anything. Success is king or defeat is bandit. I know the regent's method of punishing traitors. If you dare to do anything, I have no complaints." No regrets.”

Li Qingmo asked: "Are you an orphan from southern Xinjiang?"

Lan Jue, who had just closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at Li Qingmo, and then smiled bitterly: "As expected of you, yes, I am the orphan of the southern Xinjiang royal family. I was born to restore my country and take revenge. This is mine. Mission, no matter the cost.”

He asked Li Qingmo: "If it were me, it would be the same. In fact, if I didn't have this identity, I would be willing to be loyal to you all my life and be a simple little guard. Unfortunately, I don't have that destiny. I am destined to I can’t walk on the same path as me.”

He even wanted to commit suicide.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to die now.

"In the past few years, I have done everything for you that has nothing to do with my revenge plan. Since I have worked hard for you without any credit, can you give me a good time?"

Li Qingmo took a deep look at Lan Jue, and then asked Nan Xi.

"Nan'er, is there any poison that's not painful?"

Nan Xi took out a porcelain vase.

Li Qingmo asked someone to pull Lan Jue's body out of the water prison.

Lan Jue was soaked all over, with mud and blood mixed together. He was in a miserable state. He sat on the ground and took the medicine bottle handed over by Nan Xi.

He said: "Thank you, mistress."

Even now, he still calls Li Qingmo and Nan Xi 'Master' and 'Mistress'.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and Lan Jue swallowed the poison in one gulp.

Sitting silently waiting for death to come. "Master, when Xia Rui comes back, please say sorry to him for me. It was not my intention to hurt him. If there is a next life, I still want to be a brother with him."

Lan Jue's voice became smaller and smaller, and her vision became blurry, but she still looked stubbornly in the direction of Li Qingmo.

"In the next life... I will definitely live up to you... Master..."

His hands suddenly dropped, his head tilted to one side, and he completely lost his breath.

The other guards all had red eyes.

After all, they were partners who had fought side by side for many years. Now that Lan Jue died in front of them, they felt a little uncomfortable.

Nan Xi followed Li Qingmo out of the water prison.

"I think there is someone behind Lan Jue," Nan Xi said.

There was no one around, so she had no worries about speaking.

"Before we went back in time, Lan Jue went to the palace, trying to use the Queen Mother to lure Shun over, with the purpose of kidnapping or killing him. But when we passed by, Lan Jue had disappeared. I think he either had an accomplice or was behind him. There are people."

Nan Xi didn't know much about the royal family in southern Xinjiang.

She asked Li Qingmo: "Are you sure that all the members of the Southern Xinjiang royal family were dead?"

Li Qingmo shook his head: "In the past, I didn't doubt that there were still people in the southern Xinjiang royal family who survived, but since Lan Jue, I'm not sure anymore."

Nan Xi held his hand and said, "Send someone to rescue Bo'anhou and his wife. I think it is most likely in the hands of the eldest princess of Western Chu."

"it is good."

Regardless of public or private matters, Li Qingmo hoped that the Marquis and his wife would be fine.

But there are not many people available to him now.

Those who used to be under Lan Jue must be re-evaluated.

Just like before going back in time, Li Qingmo gave Nan Xi the power of running the family, and then went to the palace to find Wen Ying.

With Wen Ying's help, they quickly found the Bo'anhou couple.

"This Murong Qing is a hard-hearted and white-eyed wolf. She actually conspired with the eldest princess of Xichu to kidnap her parents for her own benefit. It's such a cruel thing."

Wen Ying scolded her vigorously and told Nan Xi and Li Qingmo all the information she had investigated.

"Murong Qing plans to cooperate with Guan Sheng Yin Hao. Why don't we mix the people among Guan Sheng Yin Hao's people, lurk around Murong Qing, and rescue the people." Wen Ying suggested.

Nan Xi thought for a while, "I think it's okay, what do you think?"

She looked at Li Qingmo.

Li Qingmo nodded, and the matter was settled.

After arranging this matter, Nan Xi and Li Qingmo came to Qinzheng Hall again.

Li Beimu is reviewing the memorial.

As a bodyguard, Wen Ying crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the door frame while eating chestnuts.

The whole hall is filled with the smell of roasted chestnuts.

Li Erbao was guarding outside the palace. When he saw Nan Xi and Li Qingmo, he quickly knelt down and saluted.

"This servant has met the regent and the princess."

Li Qingmo took Nan Xi's hand and walked into Qinzheng Hall.

"Uncle and aunt of the emperor." Li Beimu raised his head and asked with some worry: "Is what happened about Lan Jue true?"

He still can't believe that Lan Jue would betray the emperor's uncle.

But the fact is that it cannot be changed.

Nan Xi: "Lan Jue is dead."

Li Beimu sighed, feeling sad for a moment.

Li Qingmo looked at Wen Ying: "Who are you?"
