After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang has been waiting outside the prison, along with Beggar and Hibiscus, who are also watching eagerly.

"Can the Emperor really let Lao Qi go?"

The beggar was a little unconvinced. Even if it could be proven that Yan Mu did not kill Qin Zhenzhen, the emperor could still find a reason to detain Yan Mu.

"Being in the prison or in Jin'an City makes no difference to the emperor. It's all under his control. But he hasn't gotten the Fire Qilin yet and doesn't want Yan Mu to die in the prison, so he should let him go."

As soon as Liu Yunxiang finished speaking, the door of the Dali Temple prison opened, and two officials dragged a man out.

This man's head was drooped, his hair was messy, and his clothes were torn by the whip. The original white clothes were stained black and red by blood. Although they were tattered, it could still be seen that they were much looser.

It’s not that the clothes are getting wider, it’s that the person is getting thinner.

Although Liu Yunxiang was mentally prepared and knew what Yan Mu suffered inside, when he saw him, his heart was still shocked and painful.

She ran forward and hugged him before the two officials were about to throw him to the ground.

The beggar and Hibiscus also hurriedly ran forward, helping each other on the left and right.

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly held Yan Mu's face and found that he was drowsy and his eyes were half-open.

"Yan Mu." She called him softly.

Then he slowly opened his eyes, his empty eyes slowly focused, and then he slowly lowered his head to look at her, his gaze fixed, and he looked at her as if he didn't recognize her.

"Yan Mu, it's me." Her voice was trembling.

He was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said: "I was still thinking...whose little lady...is so beautiful...she is from my family..."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and stared at him, but his eyes were really sour and his eyes were filled with mist.

"Why are you crying...I haven't lost my hands or feet...I'm still alive...it's just that my heart hurts..."

He spoke weakly and his words were broken.

When Liu Yunxiang heard that he was hurting, he immediately became worried, "Let's go home quickly and let Hongzhu treat you."

"No need...you are my good medicine..."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, and Yan Mu hugged her and kissed her on the mouth, "These days in prison...when they whipped me with whips...I was thinking about you...when they burned me with a soldering iron... I was thinking of you...when I was cutting my flesh with a bone scraper...I was thinking of you...now that I see you...I feel no pain or fear..."

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but shed tears, "I don't think about you all the time. I have to work hard to rescue you first."

"I know." Yan Mu held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "You will save me."

After sending Yan Mu back to the eldest princess's mansion, they got off the carriage at the gate of the mansion. Liu Yunxiang and the other three helped Yan Mu walk in. As soon as they entered, they heard bursts of sharp crying.

Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw several palace guards. The one walking in the front was carrying a child on his shoulders. It was Han Xi. He was making a fuss, struggling and shouting.

"Put me down! My mother is the eldest princess and my father is the general! I'm going to kill you!"

At this time, Heshuo chased him out, his eyes already red, "Xi'er, don't be afraid, the emperor just misses you and wants you to go to the palace to accompany him for a few days. Be good, and my mother will come to the palace to pick you up in a few days."

"I don't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to play with the emperor!"

Heshuo chased after him, fearing that the guards would catch his son, he shouted: "Put my son down first, this will hurt him!"

"Those who hold low-level positions are also acting under orders. Please understand, eldest princess."

The leader didn't give Heshuo face at all and continued to carry Han Xi out.

Han Xi couldn't help what his mother said, and was a little frightened: "Mom, I'm scared! I won't enter the palace!"

Heshuo held back his heartache and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Xi'er. The emperor likes you very much. Mom is just a little busy recently. I will pick you up when I have time in a few days."

"How many days will it take?" Han Xi asked with a pout.

"Uh, five days, okay?"

"not good!"

"Those three days?"

"Humph!"

Heshuo shook his son's hand, his eyes full of reluctance and worry: "Xi'er, mother can't let you go either. You must eat well in the palace, and don't kick yourself under the quilt all the time when it gets cold at night."

Han Xi looked at his mother. Although he didn't want to leave, he still nodded, "I understand. Mom also needs to eat well and sleep well."

Heshuo quickly turned away and wiped away his tears, then turned back and smiled at his son: "Okay, mom remembers."

Han Xi was taken away by the people in the palace. Heshuo kept watching the group leave, and then looked back. When he saw Yan Mu, the concern and worry in his eyes suddenly turned into disgust and hatred.

"I didn't expect that my son's life was so critical. He was tortured for three days and three nights in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and he actually came out alive." Heshuo gritted his teeth.

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, "But I'm afraid your little son... isn't so determined..."

Heshuo's pupils shrank, "Since you have returned to the princess's mansion again, your life is in my hands."

"Not necessarily."

Before Heshuo could understand the meaning of this sentence, a group of imperial guards arrived, followed by the emperor's imperial edict, asking these imperial guards to protect Yan Mu's safety.

"Eldest Princess, the Emperor also told you to take good care of His Highness Seventh. If there is anything wrong with you, then Young Master Han will be in the palace...tsk, tsk, it's hard to say."

When Heshuo heard this, he couldn't help but staggered back. The emperor actually threatened her with Xi'er's life not to kill Yan Mu. How could Xi'er's life be compared to Yan Mu, a despicable bastard!

She looked at Yan Mu and saw him looking at her contemptuously, with the corners of his mouth raised, laughing at her stupidity and incompetence.

"I……"

"You want to say that you should have killed me earlier so that you wouldn't be so passive today, right?"

Heshuo narrowed his eyes, "Yes!"

"But in fact, you are just a chess piece in the hands of others. It is never up to you to decide whether to kill me or not. It's not that you missed the opportunity, but that you never got such an opportunity." At this point, Yan Mu smiled: "You are quite pathetic, too."

"No!"

"But it's more like being stupid than knowing it!"

Yan Mu glanced at Heshuo mockingly, and then let Liu Yunxiang help him walk back.

Heshuo was so angry that he almost wanted to kill her immediately, but as soon as she moved, the guards became defensive.

She does have no chance now, but that doesn't mean she won't have a chance in the future!

Back in the backyard, Liu Yunxiang helped Yan Mu lie down while the beggar went to call Hongzhu.

She wiped his body with a handkerchief. Looking at the injuries on his body, she felt really distressed, but she didn't dare to show it.

After she wiped it off, she looked up and found that he had fallen asleep.

She looked at his face, so thin and haggard. Being locked in such a huge cage had already worn down his spirit. She suddenly became anxious and wanted to take him away immediately.

She had a bad premonition in her heart, always feeling that he was about to fall, something she couldn't protect despite all her efforts and efforts.

After a while, Hongzhu came. She first checked Yan Mu's pulse. He had internal injuries and needed medicine to treat them. The injuries on his body were not fatal, so external medicine could be applied.

Hearing what Hongzhu said, Liu Yunxiang felt relieved.

She went out to sprinkle water and saw Chongming walking back and forth in the yard, looking anxious and muttering: "I forgot something important. It's very important. What is it?"

"By the way, I remembered." At this time, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
