Just as she was about to take action, the man suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground. Then, someone hugged her tightly from behind and covered her mouth.

"Mmmmm..." Ye Yunzi opened her eyes wide and struggled desperately, but the other party was very strong and she could not move.

Oh no, there are accomplices!

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from my ear: "It's me."

Hearing this voice, Ye Yunzi's nervousness immediately eased a lot. It was Shen Siyan.

Shen Siyan let her go and looked at her very seriously.

"Si Yan? Why are you here?" Ye Yunzi asked in surprise.

Shen Siyan took her hand, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "I'm here, don't come here alone again."

If he had arrived a step later, the consequences would have been disastrous, and he didn't want Yunzi to come to any harm.

Ye Yunzi nodded obediently, leaning against Shen Siyan's chest, and said, "I just got separated from the guards. I promise that I will never come in alone again."

"Yeah." Shen Siyan responded with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

Ye Yunzi looked up at him, waited for a moment, then lifted her veil, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

At this moment, all the tension and anxiety disappeared.

"I really won't come in here by myself again! I promise!" She blinked her big eyes with a sincere look on her face.

Shen Siyan's cheeks flushed, he looked away awkwardly and coughed lightly a few times.

There was a smile in Ye Yunzi's eyes. She knew that her Si Yan was such a simple child and his anger would subside quickly.

"Why are you in a place like this?" She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Siyan with a bit of teasing.

Baihualou is not a good place. It is a place for men to have fun. Most people who come here have bad intentions in their minds.

Shen Siyan said with a straight face: "Don't guess randomly."

"What did I guess?" She still blinked.

"I'm here to investigate the Seventh Prince's affairs." Shen Siyan explained, fearing that Ye Yunzi would misunderstand. Although she was never jealous, Shen Siyan still couldn't help but want to clarify.

"You heard about it too?" The two stopped joking and started a serious discussion.

Shen Siyan had already heard about Baili Yan's news.

There have been constant disturbances in the court recently, with accusations against Baili Yan coming one after another. Although the emperor appeared calm on the surface, he had actually begun to waver in his heart.

If word of the unrest in the capital were to spread, Baili Yan's position would become precarious.

"There's something wrong with that little girl. She must know the inside story." Ye Yunzi said seriously.

Shen Siyan nodded in agreement, "I've found her."

"So fast?" Ye Yunzi was a little surprised. If she had known that Shen Siyan would move so quickly, she would not have risked coming to this place.

"But it is not easy to get her to confess voluntarily. Unless she admits it herself, the Seventh Prince will not be able to clear his name." Shen Siyan added.

"There is not enough evidence now, and all the accusations are pointing at the Seventh Prince. How could he be so stupid as to confess his guilt?" Ye Yunzi frowned, thinking about countermeasures. "Tell me, does Tao Qiming have any way to make someone tell the truth?"

Shen Siyan was silent for a while, and then Ye Yunzi's eyes lit up, "I have an idea, it's worth a try."

At the same time, in the dark and damp prison, Baili Yan's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he would lose consciousness at any time.

The stench in the cell made him feel sick, as if his stomach was burning with fire. Countless horrible images emerged in his mind, and he felt that he was about to be swallowed by darkness and would never be able to escape.

"Haha..." Apart from this desperate laughter, he was no longer able to make any other sound.

There was endless darkness and filth all around, as if he was in hell, with no one to rescue him. Baili Yan stumbled forward, and finally grabbed the cold iron fence tightly, his nails scratching against the metal, making a harsh sound.

Right now.

"Seventh Young Master." A crisp call rang out.

After much deliberation, Ye Yunzi decided to go to the prison to see Baili Yan.

As a prince, Baili Yan had never suffered such hardship. If he couldn't bear it and revealed his identity, it would be troublesome.

She quietly came to the prison gate, and thanks to Shen Siyan's prior arrangements, she was able to enter smoothly.

"I can only give you half an incense stick of time!" The jailer looked around and made sure that there was no one around before letting Ye Yunzi in.

As soon as she stepped into the cell, a stale and rotten smell hit her in the face. Ye Yunzi frowned slightly but did not show too much discomfort.

This smell was not unfamiliar to her. During the most difficult days in the Su family, she was also trapped in a similar environment, with scars all over her body and the same smell of blood in the air.

After passing through rows of cells, she finally stopped in front of a cell. Baili Yan was now disheveled, pale, and extremely weak, as if he would collapse at any time.

"Seventh Young Master." Ye Yunzi said softly. It was not appropriate to address him by his title, so she changed her words to call him Young Master.

Hearing this familiar voice, Baili Yan looked up suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Yun Zi..." He stood there, looking at her in disbelief.

In this dim and humid environment, Ye Yunzi was like a ray of warm sunshine. She wore an elegant long dress, and after taking off her hat, her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Baili Yan felt ashamed. He didn't want her to see him like this.

All this was his fault. If he hadn't been so drunk, he wouldn't be in this situation today. He lowered his head, almost wishing that Ye Yunzi had never come.

"Seventh Young Master, please rest assured, you will be out soon." Ye Yunzi said gently and calmly, as if she had a power that could put people at ease.

Baili Yan did not respond, but just held the iron railing tightly, almost tearing it.

Ye Yunzi took out a bowl of soup from the basket she brought. "This is a hangover soup specially made by Doctor Tao. It's good for your body. You'll feel better after drinking it."

She gently handed the bowl over. Baili Yan looked at the bowl, then at her slender hands, with mixed emotions in his heart.

The medicine gave off a light fragrance, which alleviated the stench around him. He felt that the discomfort in his stomach was also relieved a lot, so he took the bowl and drank it all in one breath.

After drinking it, he did feel much better. "Thank you." Baili Yan whispered, with a hint of gratitude in his voice.

He uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice hoarse and weak.

Ye Yunzi looked at Baili Yan and saw that he was in good condition, so she felt relieved.

"Then, take care of yourself, Seventh Young Master." If things go well, Baili Yan will be free within two days.

Ye Yunzi was about to turn around and leave, Baili Yan felt mixed emotions, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally called her: "Wait..."

She stopped and looked back at him.
