Xiao Zimu looked shocked after hearing You Rui's words, and the whole world seemed to fall silent.
The only thing that filled her ears was the sound she just made: "The young marquis has been pardoned by the emperor."
Forgiven…
Forgiven!
Xiao Zimu's elegant, foggy eyes were filled with unbelievable joy, and his plump lips trembled slightly as he asked, "What did you say?"
You Rui pushed Xin Ya, who looked stunned, and saw that he was stupid and refused to stop him, so she frowned and passed him by. Xin Ya didn't react at all.
She walked up to Xiao Zimu and repeated loudly with a happy face: "Your Highness, the young marquis has been pardoned by the emperor!"
Xiao Zimu was confirmed again, with a happy face on his face, and he led her into the room to talk in detail.
Until they both walked into the house, Xin Ya was still standing at the top of the stairs, unable to recover for a long time. After a long time, he clapped his hands vigorously and danced but did not dare to make a sound.
He had to be calm right now, yes, calm.
He had lied to Xiao Zimu early in the morning, saying that Xia Chu had already had a countermeasure.
I never thought that what was once a lie would now become a prophecy.
Now, Xia Chu was really out of danger.
As long as I find an opportunity to make a confession with him in the future, I can be exempted from the punishment of deceiving Xiao Zimu, and I can pretend that the deception never happened.
The more Xin Ya thought about it, the happier he became. He jumped up and down and swayed left and right, causing the guards stationed outside the door to lie down on the wall and poke their heads around, looking at his crazy behavior and looking at each other in silence.
At the same time, Kong Changhui had already returned to Dali Temple. After he returned to the temple, he was guarded by his trusted aides from the entrance of Dali Temple to the way into the stone chamber.
In the freezing cold night, I even shut away the others and cooked wine and enjoyed the snow alone in the courtyard, showing a good mood.
He sat alone until the rooster crowed, and then he sighed, feeling that he might not be able to wait tonight, so he stood up, folded his arms, and walked into the house with a little drunkenness.
Kong Changhui opened the door and saw a strange young man lying on the couch inside the room. He was looking at him with his feet raised: "You are being watched in the courtyard. It is not convenient for me to call you outside."
When Kong Changhui heard this voice, his body froze, and he quickly closed the door with his backhand, and came forward with a happy face: "I came in after making a little noise in the house, and I made the young master wait for so long."
Xia Chu stood up and smiled at him: "It seems that Mu Bai has guessed that I will come. Okay, take me there."
Kong Changhui brought him a set of government uniforms that had been prepared a long time ago: "Yes, I originally thought His Highness Prince Mo was a little impatient, thinking that the young master would not come back so soon."
Xia Chu held his forehead and looked a little embarrassed. It wasn't that Xiao Mubai was impatient, it was because he was sure that he would rush back in a hurry.
He covered the clothes outside and motioned for Kong Changhui to lead the way.
Kong Changhui led him all the way to the stone chamber. Suddenly he remembered and asked him, "Didn't Guan Xi come back with the young master?"
Xia Chu replied with a 'hmm': "I'm afraid he will be delayed for a few more days."
"Huh?" Kong Changhui looked confused and was about to ask, but Xia Chu waved his hand at him and didn't want to say anything.
Kong Changhui had no choice but to swallow the question, quickened his pace and led him all the way to the stone room, pushed away the other people, opened the door and stepped back wisely.
Xia Chu walked in with his hands clasped behind his back, and saw Xiao Mubai sitting at the table, making tea and playing games, with a comfortable posture, without even raising his head to look at him.
Xia Chu coughed and said in a rough voice: "His Royal Highness King Mo is so excited. Prince Yu sent me over to treat you to a meal."
Xiao Mubai sneered: "Let him kneel down to invite you, so you can be sincere."
Xia Chu pretended to be fierce, slapped the side of his chessboard, and scolded him: "Being a prisoner, how brave you are."
Xiao Mubai held her wrist, pulled her into his arms unexpectedly, and said with lowered eyelids: "You are so brave, who allowed you to stage the drama of exile in private? "
"Eh?" Xia Chu suppressed the pretentious look and sighed: "It's so boring to see through it so quickly."
Xiao Mubai looked up at him and frowned when he saw his disguise: "I have a very good nose."
Xia Chu slapped his head: "I forgot about this again."
Xiao Mubai snorted coldly: "Don't interrupt me."
Xia Chu circled his neck and hugged him and coaxed: "Oh, you are playing such a big game of chess, I have to cooperate."
Xiao Mubai remained silent, obviously not satisfied with what she said.
Xia Chu let go of his neck and lifted his chin: "I told you not to show yourself in public, but you didn't listen. Yue Fengwan is still in the capital at the moment. If he takes the opportunity to pick on you..."
Xiao Mubai pressed her hand: "Don't worry about the things you shouldn't worry about. If I dare to show up, I'll be afraid of him."
Xia Chu pursed his lips, Xiao Mubai sighed, hugged her down, and then took off his outer robe, revealing the night clothes he had worn early in the morning: "Let's go."
"Eh? Where are you going?" Xia Chu looked startled, then he took his hand and asked, "Don't you want to meet Su Qianle?"
…
Of course she wanted to, but...
"I'll go with you." Xiao Mubai looked at her tenderly, his eyes full of affection, drowning her in them.
"She is the one who is sorry for you. Why are you so cowardly?" Xiao Mubai sighed and pulled her out of the stone room.
"How could I be cowardly? Just go away, Changhui is still waiting outside." Xia Chu muttered softly and withdrew her hand from his palm.
She's not a coward, she just can't face Su Qianle's betrayal...
Xia Chu put aside her uneasiness and watched him lead her to the door in a familiar manner. She joked: "You are quite familiar with this prison."
Xiao Mubai turned to look at him, his eyes full of narrowness: "No, I've seen you here so many times."
…
Xia Chu was stunned and hit him on the back with his fist: "You can talk so much, why don't you come in?"
The narrow-mindedness in Xiao Mubai's eyes became more intense: "It's not because of you that I came in."
…
Xia Chu was stunned again, but this time he was too embarrassed to hit him.
There was nothing wrong with what he said. He didn't bother himself with his words, lest he be teased to death by Xiao Mubai before he could go out.
After a while, the two of them walked to the door. Only Kong Changhui was still guarding the door of the cell with his arms folded, pointing to them in the direction that he had just cleared of people.
Xiao Mubai nodded to him, pulled Xia Chu and quickly walked to the wall. The two looked at each other, nodded, raised their breath, stepped up, and rose into the air.
Two figures quickly passed through the night sky, heading towards Si Nan's mansion Juechen...
