The corners of Feng Yili’s lips curled up when he heard the first part of Nan Xun’s words. He was in a very good mood. He disregarded the second half of Nan Xun’s words.
Soon enough, the few of them arrived at the end of the prison. This was where Liu Xiaolan and Gao Shixuan were imprisoned. Needless to say, they were imprisoned separately.
They saw Gao Shixuan first.
Gao Shixuan was delighted when she saw Feng Yili. She quickly stood up and said through the wooden bars, “Eldest Senior Brother, did you come to save me? I was wrong. I really know my mistakes now. Please give me another chance. I won’t scheme against anyone again…’
Feng Yili looked at Gao Shixuan and asked stonily, “Do you really know your mistakes?”
Gao Shixuan’s eyes flashed coldly when she heard these words. She clenched her hands tightly. After a beat, she pretended to be calm and said, “Of course, I know my mistakes. I was just too jealous. That was why I did such foolish things. Since I was imprisoned, I’ve been reflecting on myself. I’ve repented. I shouldn’t have let you down. I was wrong. I’m really sorry.”
At this moment, Nan Xun sneered. “Repented? I finally met someone more shameless than I am…’
Nan Xun continued to say mockingly, “Also, you’re sorry? Yeah, you’re only sorry you got caught. Once you get out, you’ll still try to get Yu Yunxi killed.”
Luo Xiuran nodded in agreement. This was the first time he found Nan Xun so pleasing to the eye.
Gao Shixuan glared at Nan Xun with hatred and said through gritted teeth, “Nan Xun, this has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it.”
Nan Xun sneered again. Then, he said, looking disgusted, “Who says this has nothing to do with me? It’s all because of you that my foolish little brother implicated Nanyue!”
Feng Yili did not want to waste time with Gao Shixuan. He ignored her and walked toward where Liu Xiaolan was imprisoned.
Gao Shixuan called out to Feng Yili anxiously when she saw him walking away.
“Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother! I’m really sorry! You’re the
Prince Regent of Tianxia! You must have a way to save me, right?”
Nan Xun glanced at Gao Shixuan and said disdainfully, “You’d better give up. The person you tried to harm is Yu Yunxi. According to Feng Yili’s personality, he’s already letting you off lightly since he has yet to cut you into pieces.”
“You!”
Gao Shixuan glared at Nan Xun. If looks could kill, Nan Xun would have died by now.
At this time, Luo Xiuran said with a straight face, “I suddenly feel like you’re not a bad person. You’re actually quite good.”
Nan Xun:
Finally, Nan Xun scoffed and said, “I think you’re quite good if you’d only stop talking.”
The prison guards standing at the side felt that their stomach ache as they tried to hold back their laughter.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiaolan had already heard the commotion. He quickly rushed forward. The moment he saw Feng Yili, he pleaded anxiously, “Eldest Senior Brother, Shixuan was just momentarily confused. Please save her!”
At this time, the little bun sighed and said, sounding very mature, “I don’t know if she’s momentarily confused or not, but I know that you’re definitely confused.’
Feng Yili said to Luo Xiuran, “Luo Xiuran, do it.”
Luo Xiuran’s expression was slightly awkward. After a beat, he brought something out and began to pry the lock open.
When Nan Xun saw the lock, he said unhappily, “Your Emperor really cares about Liu Xiaolan and Gao Shixuan. He actually used black iron locks on them…”
At this time, Luo Xiuran successfully pried the seemingly indestructible lock open. He turned around and said to Feng Yili with a shrug, “Alright. I’ve already completed my task.”
Unexpectedly, the elegant and suave Young Marquis Luo was so good at picking locks.
Feng Yili did not walk in. Instead, he put the little bun down and said, “Junjin, talk to him.”
Then, Feng Yili asked everyone to leave.
“Yili, are you serious? Can Junjin really make Liu Xiaolan see reason? What if Junjin is hurt?” Luo Xiuran asked worriedly. After so many things had happened, he no longer trusted Liu Xiaolan.
On the contrary, Feng Yili did not seem worried at all. He only said, “I believe in Junjin.”
Meanwhile, the little bun walked into the cell. Before he could speak, Liu Xiaolan beat him to it.
“Junjin, if you came to advise me, then there’s no need for you to say anything.”
The little bun sat on the ground cross-legged and said with a sigh, “If something happens to you, who’s going to look after Brother Zixiu?”
Liu Xiaolan’s expression changed when he heard these words. Then, he asked urgently, “How’s Zixiu now?”
The little bun rested his chin on his hands and asked seriously, “What do you think? If something happens to his parents, he’ll become a child whom nobody loves in the future. Do you know how pitiful a child is without his or her parents?”
Liu Xiaolan’s heart was heavy. He naturally knew how difficult it was. After all, he had grown up like that. Every night, he would wake up crying. He could not allow his son to suffer the way he did.
The little bun continued to sigh and say, “Before I came here, Zixiu was still crying and refusing to eat. I really feel sorry for him. What is he going to do in the future? Moreover, he’s the son of the person who tried to assassinate the Empress Dowager. With no one protecting him, the Emperor likely won’t let him off…
“No, I have to go see Zixiu now.”
Liu Xiaolan could no longer remain calm. He stood up, wanting to leave.
The little bun hurriedly pulled on Liu Xiaolan’s robe. He said, “Calm down. If you try to leave now, you’ll die before you even get to the door.”
“Then what should I do?”
Unknowingly, Liu Xiaolan asked the little bun for advice.
The little bun raised his head and asked seriously, “Let me ask you first. Do you still intend to take the blame for Gao Shixuan?”
“Shixuan’s place in my heart…”
“I know she has an important place in your heart. She’s more important than your own life. But, Uncle Liu, you have to learn to distinguish between right and wrong. It’s wrong for you to take the blame for her like this. If you do this, she’ll never learn,” the little bun said earnestly.
“Uncle Liu, you’re the Third Prince of Nanyue. With your identity, not only can you save yourself, but you can also save her,” the little bun said solemnly.
“What do you mean?”
“In Tianxia, it’s true that murder is a capital offense. However, there are special circumstances where one would only be imprisoned for a long time instead of being sentenced to death. After serving time, one would be released…” the little bun replied..
