After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

When Chu Huanyan and Qin Li arrived at Tianlao, Xiao Jinzhi was leaning against the wall, lost in thought.

Although the light was dim, the environment was simple, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air, it didn't seem to affect Xiao Jinzhi's eye-catching face at all.

Like pine and jade, the beauty is unique.

Hearing the movement at the cell door, Xiao Jinzhi slowly turned his head, but the moment he saw Chu Huanyan, joy burst into his calm eyes, "Are you here to pick me up?"

The scorching gaze seemed to look directly into Chu Huanyan's heart, and she felt that her whole heart was trembling with heat.

Facing this joyful gaze, Chu Huanyan said in a strange way: "Why doesn't Your Highness think that I am the one who doesn't have the ability to find out the truth within three days and come to apologize to Your Highness?"

"Ha." Xiao Jinzhi smiled particularly beautifully, "If that were the case, you wouldn't come to Tianlao."

"Your Highness, do you think your daughter will abandon you?" Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly.

However, if the critical moment really comes, she might just walk away.

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head and just smiled without speaking.

Qin Li, who was standing next to Chu Huanyan, explained: "His Highness has instructed his subordinates that if there is really no way to find out the truth, they will take Miss Chu away from the imperial city and find a place to hide before the Emperor asks her for the crime. And His Highness said However, please do not let Miss Chu come to the prison again to avoid being targeted."

Chu Huanyan was startled. Did she even think of her own way out?

Take yourself out of the imperial city? This is a grave sin.

Xiao Jinzhi is the prince after all. Even if he is in the heavenly prison now, in the final analysis, the most he did in this incident was to get involved and annoy Emperor Xiao. He has not committed any big mistake, and it is impossible for him to stay here for the rest of his life. Inside the prison. But if he instructs Qin Li to let him go, it will be different...

"Why did Your Highness do this?" Chu Huanyan frowned slightly.

"The incident happened suddenly, and Xiao Rongxuan's quick actions did not leave much time for Gu. It was difficult to plan a more complete strategy at that time. Although taking you away is not the best strategy, it can at least allow you to avoid the wrath of your father. In anger, he lost his life." Xiao Jinzhi walked to the door of the cell.

He knew that this method was a bit reckless and impulsive, but he was really not sure that his father would not directly kill Chu Huanyan in a rage, so he did not dare to gamble.

Qin Li had already taken the key from the jailer to unlock the door.

Chu Huanyan didn't lower her brows, looked at Xiao Jinzhi seriously, and said again: "What I'm asking is, why did Your Highness take such a risk for me?"

The smile on Xiao Jinzhi's face paused slightly.

With a "click", Qin left the lock and opened the cell door.

After looking at His Highness and Chu Huanyan, he said wisely: "Your Highness, Miss Chu, I will go and guard outside first. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."

With that said, Qin Li immediately left the cell door.

Their eyes met, Chu Huanyan looked at Xiao Jinzhi silently, and the latter also looked at her quietly. After a while, he finally spoke again.

"You should understand why I did this."

Did Chu Huanyan really not see it?

"I……"

Chu Huanyan looked hesitant. During this period of time, she could clearly see all the things Xiao Jinzhi had done, but...

"Chu Huanyan, I love you." Xiao Jinzhi said seriously.

Chu Huanyan's heartbeat quickened. Although she had guessed the answer a long time ago, she was still a little dazed when she heard Xiao Jinzhi say it himself.

Xiao Jinzhi likes herself, why?

Why does he like her, and how much will be left after this love is drained of water?

It's not that she doesn't understand Xiao Jinzhi's overtures, but it's just that she can't be sure that the love he says is not just a whim.

So she just pretended that she didn't notice anything. Until just now, after listening to Qin Li's words, she suddenly couldn't help but want to make it clear.

But at this moment, she realized that after making this clear, she still didn't know what to do, and was even... more embarrassed than she felt before.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan intently. Although his expression seemed calm, his heart in his chest almost jumped into his throat.

After secretly taking several deep breaths, Xiao Jinzhi calmed down a little.

"Actually, Gu doesn't know how to like someone. Maybe it's because he hasn't been loved well by anyone since he was a child. This may sound like he's trying to make a fool of himself, but it's Gu's true words. In addition, Gu You may have guessed that this reputation is fake and that I did it deliberately, but I still feel guilty and am afraid that you will dislike me."

"Your Highness..."

Just as Chu Huanyan was about to speak, Xiao Jinzhi shook his head at her.

"Let Gu Gu finish his words first, okay?"

Chu Huanyan did not speak again, but continued to look at Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter took another deep breath and smiled helplessly.

"Actually, Gu's situation in the court is not good. Although he has a bad reputation, he can still maintain his position as the crown prince. Many people feel that his father is very biased towards Gu. But in fact, without such a notorious reputation, perhaps Gu's position as the crown prince is not secure at all. However, although he deliberately created a bad reputation, Gu and the girls in the brothel are all innocent. The Fujin Tower that he visits most often was actually opened by Gu privately. "

"Does Fujin Tower belong to you?" Chu Huanyan asked in surprise.

That's right, I heard that Xiao Jinzhi hangs around Fujin Tower all year round and has countless close friends. If you want to deliberately create a reputation, if you always put on a show, how can it go unnoticed? Unless, Xiao Jinzhi is the person who controls Fujin Tower behind the scenes. Moreover, Fujin Tower is an excellent place to gather information.

In addition to Fujin Tower, is there any other place in the imperial city that belongs to Xiao Jinzhi?

Seeing Chu Huanyan's curious look, Xiao Jinzhi smiled and said: "In addition to Fujin Tower, Guzai does have some industries in the dark. If you are curious about these things, I can tell you slowly in the future. But now... …”

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan seriously.

"Chu Huanyan, I know that your situation is not easy, and I also know that it may be difficult for you to trust others. But I still hope that you can believe what I am saying at this moment."

"I don't know what you have been through, and I have never known you when Ning'an Hou and his wife were still alive. But whether it's you dancing passionately on the high platform, or you taking every step and planning secretly. Or it's you I like you who don't want to believe me and are defensive."

"I also know that my love may push you into trouble, such as Xiao Rongxuan's targeting this time. But I have tried, and this love cannot be hidden. What I can promise is that I will do my best to protect you. You, I will never let you be implicated. At the same time, I will help you with whatever you want to do, so..."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan through the cell door, his expression nervous and sincere. For a moment, he looked like a devout believer kneeling in front of the Buddha with prayers in his heart.

He said softly: "So, Chu Huanyan, can you try to consider me?"
