The moonlight was dim, covering the silent prison in the capital. Lu Zhiran, dressed in plain clothes, walked hurriedly towards the frightening prison under the moonlight. Her heart was filled with endless worries and sorrows, because her husband, the once brilliant Fu Yuzhang, was now in prison.

The wooden door of the prison slowly opened, and a damp and musty smell hit her face. Lu Zhiran suppressed the discomfort in her heart and walked into the dark cell step by step. Her eyes searched in the dim light, and finally, in the corner, she saw the familiar figure.

Fu Yuzhang used to be so handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was very imposing. However, at this moment, he looked haggard, ragged, and his former elegance was gone. His hair was messy and scattered on his shoulders, and his eyes were full of helplessness and despair. Seeing this scene, Lu Zhiran's heart was broken, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

"Yu Zhang..." She called his name softly, her voice choked with sobs.

Fu Yuzhang heard the familiar voice and slowly raised his head. His once resolute face was now full of vicissitudes. When he saw Lu Zhiran, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by deep self-blame and guilt.

"Zhiran, why... why are you here?" He struggled to stand up, but almost fell due to long-term weakness.

Lu Zhiran hurried forward to support him, his eyes full of distress: "How could I not come? You are being wronged, how can I sit back and do nothing?"

Fu Yuzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This prison disaster is destined for me. You don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself."

Lu Zhiran held his hand tightly, tears falling on his wrist: "How can I not worry? You are my husband, the most important person in my life. How can I watch you suffer?"

Fu Yuzhang felt the warmth from her hand, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently stroked her hair, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Zhi Ran, with you by my side, I am the happiest person in the world. No matter what kind of difficulties I encounter, as long as you are by my side, I will not be afraid."

Lu Zhiran looked up at him, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Yu Zhang, I believe you are innocent. I will do my best to clear your name and set you free."

Fu Yuzhang smiled and nodded, his eyes full of gratitude and trust. He knew that with Lu Zhiran around, he would be able to get through this long dark night.

As the night deepened, Lu Zhiran accompanied Fu Yuzhang in the cell, and the two talked about the past. Those beautiful memories seemed to dispel the coldness and despair in the cell, bringing them a glimmer of warmth and hope.

However, the world outside the cell is a different story. There are rumors about Fu Yuzhang in the capital, saying that he betrayed the court and colluded with foreign enemies. These rumors pierced Lu Zhiran's heart like a sharp knife. She knew that if she wanted to clear Fu Yuzhang's grievances, she had to face these rumors and slander.

The moonlight shone through the window of the cell, sprinkling on Fu Yuzhang's haggard face. There was deep fatigue between his brows, but his eyes flashed with gratitude and love for Lu Zhiran. Lu Zhiran gently put down the food box in his hand, took out the cakes one by one, and placed them on the worn wooden table.

The cake was made by her own hands, with delicate sugar coating on the outside, giving off a faint sweet fragrance. In this cold and damp cell, this fragrance seemed to be the only warmth. Lu Zhiran looked at Fu Yuzhang with mixed feelings. She knew that these cakes could not relieve him from the suffering of prison, but she hoped that they could at least bring him a moment of comfort.

"Yu Zhang, this is the pastry I just made, please try it." Lu Zhiran said softly, her voice echoing in the empty cell, sounding particularly clear.

Fu Yuzhang looked at the cakes in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that Lu Zhiran could prepare such food for him at this time. He gently picked up a piece of cake, put it to his mouth, and took a bite. The sweet but not greasy taste spread in his mouth instantly, as if taking away a trace of bitterness in his heart.

"It's delicious." Fu Yuzhang said with a smile. Although his voice was a little hoarse, it was full of warmth.

Seeing his satisfied look, Lu Zhiran felt a little relieved. She knew that Fu Yuzhang was a strong man, but at this moment he seemed so fragile. She wanted to do more for him and let him feel her love and support.

"As long as you like it." Lu Zhiran said softly, her eyes looking at Fu Yuzhang tenderly. She found that although his face was tired, his eyes were still as bright as stars. She knew that was his hope and belief in the future.

"Zhiran, thank you." Fu Yuzhang looked at her with gratitude in his eyes. He knew that having such a wife was the greatest luck in his life.

Lu Zhiran shook his head and said with a smile: "We are husband and wife, we should share the joys and sorrows. You are in trouble now, how can I stay out of it?"

Fu Yuzhang looked at her determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that with Lu Zhiran by his side, he could get through this long dark night. He reached out and gently held Lu Zhiran's hand, and their eyes met at this moment.

The atmosphere in the cell became warm and peaceful at this moment. The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze. Lu Zhiran gently leaned on Fu Yuzhang's shoulder, and the two sat quietly, enjoying this rare quiet time.

However, the world outside the cell was not peaceful. Rumors and slanders about Fu Yuzhang were spreading in the capital. Lu Zhiran knew that she had to do something for Fu Yuzhang. She decided to use her wisdom and strength to clear his name and set him free.

She stood up, put the remaining cakes on the table, and said to Fu Yuzhang: "Yuzhang, I will find a way to clear your name. You have to believe in me, and believe in yourself."

Fu Yuzhang looked at her determined eyes, and his heart was full of confidence. He nodded, smiled and said: "I believe you, Zhiran. No matter what the result is, I will face it bravely."

Lu Zhiran looked at him deeply, then turned and left the cell. She knew that she was about to embark on a road full of thorns. But for Fu Yuzhang, she was willing to pay any price.

The moonlight shone on her body, casting a long shadow. She walked out of the cell, her heart full of determination and courage. She knew that as long as she didn't give up, she would see the dawn one day.
