Chapter 1201: Jizi Prison
Two clusters of red clouds appeared on her white cheeks as she laughed and scolded: “You were not like this before. Why do you seem to be a different person these days? You always have no serious words in your mouth.”
Chu Yan laughed. With a little force in his hands, he brought her into his arms. Hugging that soft body with a sweet fragrance. He felt comfortable as if he was in the clouds, the sun was shining, and everything was so beautiful.
“This is the real me. I don’t need to pretend to be in front of the person I like. Don’t you like me like this?”
Bai Zhi felt goosebumps all over her body when he teased her. She hit him in his chest with her fist: “You, when did you learn so badly?”
Chu Yan couldn’t hold it back, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek. But he felt it wasn’t enough, he quickly slid his lips onto her lips, kissing her deeply.
At this time, there was a noise outside the hall, Chu Yan quickly raised his head, and his eyes naturally fell on the door of the hall.
Bai Zhi opened her eyes and saw this. She was taken aback, he didn’t look like a blind man at all.
Bai Zhi asked: “Can you see?”
Chu Yan’s eyes immediately became dull and he shook his head: “No! Why do you ask that?”
She felt that she must have read it wrong, so she smiled and said, “It’s okay, I just asked casually, do you want me to go out and have a look?”
Chu Yan shook his head and just let her sit beside him, then said loudly: “Whoever is making noise outside, come in and talk.”
The door of the palace opened, and a woman in a green palace dress ran in. The woman’s face was tear-stained, the flower hairpin on her head was loose, and a few strands of black hair hung down her shoulders.
She rushed in front of Chu Yan and Bai Zhi and knelt with a plop: “Your Majesty, please let the concubine’s elder brother go for this concubine’s sake.”
The pear blossoms tears when the woman’s cries looked so cute. Bai Zhi felt that if she were a man, she would help her up immediately, to comfort her.
She looked sideways at Chu Yan who was beside her, but Chu Yan’s eyes fell elsewhere. His face was calm: “Which palace are you from?”
The woman stopped crying immediately and stared blankly at the emperor. Although the emperor had never visited her, at least he recognized her.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly stepped forward: “Your Majesty, this is Xiao Guiren, the one who often brings you snacks.”
Chu Yan snorted, and said, “So it’s Xiao Guiren, do you know what your brother committed?”
Xiao Xiuyu shook her head, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t even know what your brother has committed, but you dare to come to me and ask me to save him. Aren’t you afraid that I will convict you and your brother together?”
Xiao Xiuyu was dumbfounded. She came here today for two reasons: one was to save her brother, and the other was to make appearances in front of the emperor so that the emperor will be impressed with her. It can also give her a chance to win the emperor’s favor.
His father will never sit idly by about his elder brother’s matter, and with their Xiao family’s relationship, it will be resolved properly sooner or later.
To put it bluntly, her purpose for her coming here today was mainly to see the emperor.
But the emperor didn’t recognize her and even said that she should be convicted together… Was he scaring her? But it doesn’t look like it!
Chu Yan didn’t have time to talk nonsense to her, so he went straight to Eunuch Fu and said, “Eunuch Fu, tell her what her brother committed.”
Eunuch Fu said: “Xiao Guiren, your elder brother has been thrown into the Imperial Palace Prison and locked up in Jizi Prison.”
Xiao Xiuyu’s complexion changed drastically. Although she didn’t know what her brother had committed, she knew that those imprisoned in the Jizi Prison were all repeat offenders, so to speak, death row inmates, and there was no possibility of escape.
