In the cold and gloomy cell, it was as quiet as suffocating.

Xie Jiaojiao has forgotten how long she was locked in, because her cell didn't even have a skylight.

Over time, she couldn't even distinguish between day and night.

Only the sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground came from deep in the cell from time to time, letting her know in a daze that she was still alive.

But what about the others?

Li does not hurt.

And her adoptive father Jie Shi, is he still alive?

When she thought of this, she couldn't help shuddering, even though she had gone through so much darkness to be with the bloodthirsty wild wolf in the eyes of the world, she had never been so scared.

Because just two days ago, she heard that the imperial concubine had come to this prison. She did not come to see them. Instead, she was asked to ask Li alone for questioning. Xie Jiaojiao didn’t know what they said, but only knew that Li Not hurt and left with the concubine.

It seemed that after a day, Xie Jiaojiao heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside.

She knew that he was back again.

However, instead of being locked up in the cell opposite to him before, he was locked in the cell outside.

Although no one had told them anything after being imprisoned, Xie Jiaojiao could probably understand that the one on this side was the death row, and the place where Li Buhuan was now locked up was just an ordinary prison.

What did he do? Let the concubine forgive him?

What about the rest of them?

In fact, she didn't expect Li Bushang to remember herself again, or even forgive herself, but at this time, when the surroundings were dark, the only light in her heart was Li Bushang and her adoptive father calcite.

She couldn't stop herself from thinking about them.

"Don't hurt... Foster father... how are you doing?"

Xie Jiaojiao curled up in the corner of the cell, covered with corn grass. There were a few mice walking cautiously in the corner, because she was motionless, and even one boldly ran over and chewed on her nails.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside.

It is said to be a loud noise, but it is not really that deafening. It is just a muffled noise, like something heavy falling to the ground, but because of this silent prison, there is no wind, so the sound from far away is also It seems very amazing.

The mouse squeaked in fright, turned around and ran back into the hole.

Xie Jiaojiao also raised his eyes and looked outside blankly.

Because she saw that there seemed to be light shining in the dark tunnel.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps, walking towards this side, the light was getting brighter, getting closer and closer to her cell, Xie Jiaojiao stood up subconsciously, and hurriedly fell on the fence, right She had a pair of wolf-like eyes that lingered in her dreams.

"Don't hurt!"

She opened her eyes wide, watching Li Bushang standing outside holding a torch in disbelief.

Under the fire, his already indifferent and expressionless face looked even colder now.

Even the flames can't add warmth to him.

For some reason, she was always worried about him and wanted to see him, but Xie Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy when she saw him at this time, and her heartbeat was getting heavier and heavier, so she felt a little difficult to breathe.

Li Bushang said, "Open the prison door."

Standing behind him was a jailer. Hearing this, he didn't say much. He took the key and opened the lock on the prison door.

Can he order the jailer?

In other words, he has been proven innocent?

Xie Jiaojiao subconsciously said, "You, are you all right?"

Li Bushang did not answer her, but said to the jailer: "You go down first, you don't need to come over. I will speak to her alone."

"Yes."

The jailer nodded, then turned and walked away.

Li Bushang opened the cell door and walked in with a torch.

Xie Jiaojiao stepped back instead, looking at this man who was already his husband with some anxiety.

He appeared like this, is it okay already, or—

Although Xie Jiaojiao was young and grew up in White Dragon City, she has not experienced any power struggles, but at this time, she probably also understands that people like Li Bushang who were originally the emperor’s confidant have experienced such a big change, if If you want to return to your previous position and become the emperor's confidant again, you must make a little sacrifice.

So what is sacrifice?

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him. Her eyes had never been so flickering like this moment. Usually, when facing such wolf eyes, she was always calm and composed, as if she could control everything.

But now, she seems to have been manipulated.

Just when Xie Jiaojiao's heart was upset, Li Buhuan spoke up.

In the cold and dark prison, his voice was the same as the environment here, even with a deep gloom.

"never mind."

"...?!"

Xie Jiaojiao's eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't think of it. When he spoke, he would say these three words.

never mind?

What do you mean?

Does it mean that he is all right, or that they are all all right?

As if to understand that she did not understand, Li Bushang said again: "We are all fine."

"..."

"You go out with me."

After saying this, he didn't turn around and take her away like he said, but looked at Xie Jiaojiao quietly, as if waiting for her to ask questions.

Xie Jiaojiao asked, "We are all okay? Why are we okay?"

Li Bu hurt said: "She, the imperial concubine, believe I don't know anything about the assassination, and you don't know it beforehand.

"..."

"So in this matter, we just have the crime of lax supervision."

"..."

"However, there was a turmoil in the capital a few days ago, and I protected the holy driver in Yonghe Palace. The emperor and the noble concubine and empress said that they had merits in escorting me, and the merits and demerits were offset and released me.

"..."

"I asked you to be released, and they agreed."

"..."

"So, you come with me."

After speaking, he really turned around, ready to lead her out.

But Xie Jiaojiao did not move.

Li Bushang seemed to feel something too, and stepped out of the cell door with one foot, stopped again, and looked back at Xie Jiaojiao. In the light of the fire, Xie Jiaojiao's thinner face became paler.

She looked at Li not hurt, her voice was trembling and asked: "We are all right. Then, where is the foster father?"

"..."

"how is he?"

"..."

Speaking of this, a haze flashed across Li Bushang's expressionless face.

And he hadn't spoken yet. From the far side of the cell, on the other side of the discipline room, there was a sound of footsteps and a strange rustle, as if someone was dragging something, and several jailers dragged it. He cursed secretly: "Damn, just like a dead pig, it's dead and dead!"

Xie Jiaojiao suddenly rushed out of the cell and looked outside.
