Xu Jinlan suddenly shouted, turning her head to look at Lan Shanyang with a somewhat frantic expression: "Your Majesty, the Empress never lies! You know that! What the Empress told me is all true, and I really did see the Empress! Your Majesty, believe me, I'm not crazy! I'm really not crazy!"

After saying that, Xu Jinlan lay down on the ground and began to cry loudly.

Lan Shanyang's gaze was fixed on the people below. He slowly smiled faintly, looked at Xu Jinlan, and said with a hint of tenderness, "Jinlan, I will ask you one last question: Did you kill Consort Hu?"

"No! Your Majesty, it really isn't!"

Xu Jinlan waved her hand frantically, then glanced cautiously outside before whispering earnestly, "Consort Hu was frightened to death by the Empress! Her own lifespan had ended, and she was taken away by some little devil! She's being tortured in the King of Hell right now! She did too many bad things!"

"Nonsense!"

Hu Tianyong roared angrily, and Xu Jinlan immediately hid behind Xu Ming in fright.

Lan Shanyang smiled slightly and slowly stood up: "Whether he's crazy or not, only Heaven knows! I know too! I'm afraid only this madman in the world would tell the truth!"

After saying that, Lan Shanyang turned around and walked out without saying another word.

As Lan Shanyang stepped out the door, he glared unmistakably at Lan Qingtian and Lan Linxue, who were eavesdropping outside, causing the two to give an awkward laugh.

Lan Shanyang did not stop for a moment, but continued to walk towards the back.

Lan Qingtian and Lan Linxue quickly followed.

Soon, someone took Xu Jinlan out of the main hall, leaving Hu Tianyong and Xu Ming, both preoccupied with their own thoughts, looking at each other in bewilderment.
