161 Generous
This time, with Emperor Hongxu's handwriting, there was naturally no obstacle to traffic, and the prison leader personally led the way.
However, after entering the prison door, Cao Qianqian couldn't help but frown. She had never been to prison before. Although she guessed that the prison would be unbearable, she did not expect it would be so bad.
I don’t say that the sun is dark, because I don’t see the sunlight all year round, and the entire prison is very wet, dispersing a heavy smell of mold. Not to mention Cao Qianqian, even Ruixiang couldn’t help but reach out to cover her nose.
After staying in such a place for so many days, I don’t know how A Luan is doing.
Li Yong and Cao Qianqian were both worried about it, and unconsciously accelerated their pace.
The prison head was a slippery head. When we saw this, what else would we not understand? We quickly accelerated our pace and led several people to the east. While walking, we explained, "I received the order from His Highness earlier, so I specially asked someone to clean up the upper room in the east. In our prison, there is only one upper room with an east-facing window. In the morning, we can still get some sunlight."
There is not no intention of seeking credit in this sentence, but Li Yong had a calm face, but he had no intention of listening to it at all.
The prisoner stopped talking in disappointment and walked through several cells, but they were all very quiet, quiet to death. There were obviously people in the cell, but they were all crowded with their expressions. I don’t know if I heard footsteps or noticed someone coming or something, but no one looked up and looked at it.
Cao Qianqian frowned again, but this time she was suspicious.
When the prison head saw it, he quickly smiled, "Those who entered our Dali Temple prison have committed major issues. When they came in, few people could go out safely and safely. These people started crying and making trouble at first, but now they know that crying is useless, so they take it lightly."
What did you think indifferently? This is clearly a heart that is ashamed, waiting for death? Cao Qianqian sighed in her heart.
A faint natural light shone into my eyes, and the prison head slowly stopped, raised his hand and pointed forward, "It's here."
At the end of the east wall is the so-called "up room" in the prison. But it is said that it is up to the room because a small window as thick as a child's head can penetrate some light. At this time, a beam of sunlight sprinkled in, illuminating the cell slightly brighter than elsewhere. There is only a simple wooden bed and a wooden table in the cell. There is a set of tea sets and a candlestick on the table. It is very shabby, but compared to other cells, it is already a luxury.
This guy is a sensible person and has no money to be fooled. Shi An hummed softly.
Li Yong no longer cared about anything else, took two steps forward and called out anxiously, "A Luan!"
In the cell, there were two figures, and the silk that was lying on the wooden bed with clothes, was already gray, so naturally it was not Xie Xuan. The other one was leaning against the wall, sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, with a half-hidden face hidden in the darkness. Looking at the figure, it was indeed Xie Xuan.
Cao Qianqian covered the complexity in her eyes, and also stepped forward quickly and called softly, "A Luan!"
The figure leaning on the corner of the wall seemed to have not heard it, and did not move for a long time. Instead, the figure lying on the wooden bed with her clothes suddenly bounced up from the bed, and her almond eyes were like lightning, and it was already shot towards the direction of the two. It was indeed Mrs. Xiao.
However, Mrs. Xiao in front of her was a little different from what they remembered. Mrs. Xiao has been in poor health in the past two years. Her plump body has lost weight before, but now she is even thinner. Not only is she even more thin, she looks more haggard than ten years old. Her temples are white and a little dazzling, which makes Cao Qianqian's eyes suddenly shrink.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the two of them, and something flashed quickly in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were gently curled up, "What kind of wind is this? She actually blows His Highness, Princess and the Queen of the Princess? But if you can come to visit, I believe the end of our family is coming."
Neither Li Yong nor Cao Qianqian could respond, nor did they dare to respond. The two of them looked at the figure in the corner of the wall, but saw that the figure was not moving at all. The two of them couldn't help but feel strange.
Mrs. Xiao followed the eyes of the two of them and said lightly, "A Luan couldn't accept it suddenly, and she was afraid she wouldn't want to see you. At this time, Your Highness and the Princess can still remember to visit you one or two. I am a mother, so I thanked you for her for this kind of affection. In such a humble and lush place in the prison, both of them are nobles, and they are just getting married, so don't stay for a long time."
"Madam Xiao! His Highness, King Yu and the Princess came to take Miss Seven out with His Majesty's order. Congratulations to Miss Seven, which has escaped the disaster." The prison head beside him turned his eyes and saw that several people could not tell the main topic for a long time. His Highness, King Yu and Princess Yu were both worried and secretly looked, so he couldn't help but take the matter apart.
"What handwriting?" But, as soon as this said, Mrs. Xiao was not happy at all, but instead rubbed it. Even the calm calmness that moment just now was torn apart, and her face was frozen, and she asked anxiously.
And the figure in the corner of the wall was even more slight.
Li Yong's eyes were always fixed in the corner, above the figure that could not be seen clearly. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth moved twice, but in the end, it was hard to speak. His eyes glanced back gently and fell on Cao Qianqian.
Cao Qianqian was stunned for a moment before reacting, stepped forward, and chuckled, "Madam! Your Majesty has mercyed, and I have forgiven A Luan for his death. Your Highness and I are here to lead A Luan out. From now on, A Luan will enter the Yu Prince's Mansion and will be sisters with me in the future. Don't worry, Mrs. A Luan and I have always been like sisters. You know, and Your Highness and I will definitely treat her well."
In the prison, both Mrs. Xiao and "Xie Xuan" were silent.
After a moment, a low laughter sounded, and then gradually expanded, one louder, one sharper, one sharper.
Everyone outside the cell frowned, and the prison head held back even more, so he didn't cover his ears with his hands. He thought to himself, could this Duke Dingguo be crazy about being happy, right? Why did he laugh so furiously?
The laughter seemed to be the strings that were suddenly broken by someone, and in an instant, it ended abruptly.
Mrs. Xiao's almond eyes were as cold as ice, and turned into sharp arrows, and pierced towards Li Yong's face. She hummed coldly from her nose, and word by word, popping out of her lips like ice beads, "What a great grace! It's a pity that I have no blessing to live! My Xie family is now a sinner who is plotting against the crime. My A Luan is a daughter of a sinner, and I can't enter the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion. We have learned the kindness of Your Majesty, Your Highness's kindness, and the princess's kindness."
"Bold! This is Your Majesty's will. How can you say no?" The prison head pointed his eyebrows and then said to a prison guard near him, "You! Go open the door and invite Miss Xie Qi out."
