After half a stick of incense, Chu Wenxin and Xiao Jinzhi left the door of Xiao Rongxuan's cell together.

"Do you think Xiao Rongxuan will keep his word?" Chu Huanyan looked sideways at Xiao Jinzhi.

The light in the cell was dim, even in the daytime, but it could only be illuminated by candles on both sides of the corridor.

Xiao Jinzhi's face was half hidden in the candlelight, with a slight smile.

"If he wants to live, he will naturally do something, and he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity we give him. It's just..."

"It's just that he may not follow our instructions. If he has other choices and plans, it will not go as we wish." Chu Huanyan took Xiao Jinzhi's words and spoke clearly.

"Yes." Xiao Jinzhi smiled, "But we don't necessarily need him to follow everything."

Looking at each other, Chu Huanyan's and Xiao Jinzhi's eyes revealed tacit understanding and understanding.

Without saying anything more, the two of them walked towards the door of the cell together. However, before they reached the door of the cell, a jailer came in a hurry and nervously stopped Chu Huanyan.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Chu." The jailer knelt down and kowtowed nervously. After saluting, he cautiously said, "Miss Chu, Mr. Mu Fengmu, the staff member of the Third Prince's Mansion, said that he wanted to meet Your side."

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the jailer kneeling on the ground, "It seems that my senior brother is really good at it. Even though he has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, there are still people who have the courage to pass on messages for him."

The jailer trembled and quickly lowered his head, "The young one definitely did not collude with the prisoners, it's just, it's just..."

"That's all, let's lead the way." Chu Huanyan didn't intend to embarrass the jailer in front of her. Since Mu Feng wanted to see her, she could just go and see her.

"I'll go with you." Xiao Jinzhi took Chu Huanyan's hand and said.

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I'd better go on my own. No matter what, he is my senior brother after all. In his current situation, maybe he has something to say."

Xiao Jinzhi frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. He is in prison." Chu Huanyan comforted him with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the carriage." Xiao Jinzhi nodded in agreement.

The cells of Mu Feng and Xiao Rongxuan were not in the same place, but separated by a considerable distance.

When Chu Huanyan arrived, Mu Feng was standing in the cell, looking at the small window above the wall in trance.

"Senior brother." Chu Huanyan called.

Mu Feng turned his head and glanced at the jailer first, "Thank you."

"Mr. Mu, you're welcome. I would like to thank you for your advice." The jailer said respectfully, then bowed to Chu Huanyan and retreated.

"What did senior brother mention to him?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"It's not important, I just want to exchange a favor and ask him to help spread a message." Mu Feng looked at Chu Huanyan, "Thank you, junior sister, for being willing to come to see me."

"After all, you and I were from the same school. Even if it is for the teacher and my wife, I will come this time." Chu Huanyan slowly exhaled, "If there is anything else you want to ask me for, senior brother, then Just say it.”

She actually no longer had any friendship with her senior brother Mu Feng. After all, when they met again in this life, he was the one who helped Xiao Rongxuan design her in the third prince's house.

But maybe it was because the time spent with the teacher and his mistress was so wonderful. Whenever I saw Mu Feng, I would inevitably think of the past, so I didn't have much hatred or resentment in my heart.

"Junior sister, I want you to send something to Duke Shi's mansion for me." Mu Feng took out a broken hosta from his sleeve, "I hope you can hand this to Duke Shi with your own hands."

Chu Huanyan looked at the hairpin, but did not speak immediately, nor did she reach out to take it.

"Junior sister, don't worry. Not to mention that after seeing this hairpin, I'm afraid he will want me to die immediately. And to say the least, even if he wants to save me, just relying on Duke Shi will not change anything. So, if you help me deliver something, it will not affect the situation at this moment." Mu Feng assured me.

"That's not why I hesitated. I'm just curious about the story behind this hairpin."

After the incident with Duke Shi last time, she had already guessed the reason why Mu Feng entered the imperial city, but she didn't know what the inside story was and the details of the past.

Mu Feng's eyes darkened, and he still maintained the motion of passing the hairpin, his Adam's apple moving up and down.

"then……"

Just when he was about to speak, Chu Huanyan reached out and took the hairpin.

"I'm just curious, but even if senior brother doesn't say anything, I will still send this hairpin."

Although she was curious, she was not in a bad mood. Since there were some things that Mu Feng didn't want to talk about, she didn't bother to know.

The past events that can trap people in them are more or less heavy and sad when I think about it. As an outsider, why bother getting involved?

"Thank you." Mu Feng nodded and thanked, feeling relieved in his heart, but his eyes still stayed on the hairpin, unwilling to move away for a long time.

Suddenly, he laughed again.

"In fact, to outsiders, they may just be some old stories that are too tacky. The storytellers on the street can compile ten or eight versions in one day, but for some reason, the people trapped in them just can't get out. Can't get over it."

"If you don't stab yourself with a knife, you will never know the pain. Even if it is the most common bandit killing, it sounds nothing new, but for the family members of the dead and injured, it is a lifetime of pain." Chu Huanyan looked at it. Mu Feng said, "So, as long as the person concerned can't let it go, no one has the right to say that it is just an old thing that is extremely tacky and has nothing new."

After all, the old things and excitement that others say have truly trapped many people throughout their lives, and even changed the fate of some people.

When their eyes met, Chu Huanyan's expression and gaze were calm and open, showing no hatred or sympathy.

Mu Feng looked at her silently. After a long time, he took two steps back and bowed to Chu Huanyan.

"I couldn't help you for everything before, but now that I've made the decision, there's no room for regret. I don't regret any of my previous choices. I only wish my junior sister everything will go well and be safe in the rest of her life."

A prison door separates two worlds.

And this bow, neither light nor heavy, brought all the previous events to an end.

This is not fair, but everyone knows that there is no way to achieve complete fairness in everything in this world.

After leaving the prison, Chu Huanyan took the broken hosta to Duke Shi's mansion.

When he saw the hairpin, Shi Cunhou was lost in thought for a long time. It wasn't until he heard Xiao Jinzhi coughing that he came back to his senses and took the hairpin with trembling hands.

"It's Mu Feng, right?"

"Yes." Chu Huanyan nodded.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago. In fact, I have guessed it too, but I have never dared to admit it." Shi Cunhou took a deep breath and held the broken hosta tightly. "Ask Miss Shi, Mu Fengke told me What’s the meaning of this hosta?”
