There was a torch hanging in the aisle, and the dim light shone sparingly on a small area around it, while the cell a little further away was filled with darkness and damp.
Guan Xiaoxian couldn't remember how many times he had entered this place, standing in front of the familiar cell, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
Guan Dahai was trapped in the cell, leaning against the cell door.Different from the usual casualness when going in and out every time, this time, Guan Dahai himself knew that his life was at stake, so he looked at his son with complicated eyes at this moment.
He remembered Guan Xiaoxian's persuasion over and over again that he didn't pay attention to before.
If he had known how much money he would save today, he would have packed his bags and gone home a long time ago to do business honestly with his mother.
But at this moment, it was too late to think about anything.
For a while, both of them were silent.
Guan Dahai had mixed feelings and forgot to say it, but Guan Xiaoxian didn't know what to say.
He wanted to ask Guan Dahai if he had endured hardships in prison, but the frightened look on Guan Dahai's face made him feel that this was nonsense—who can keep their minds in the face of life and death?He also wanted to tell Guan Dahai the news that Mrs. Lin was at home, but he was afraid that it would remind him of his family, so he didn't dare to say it easily.
In the end, it was Guan Dahai who came back to his senses, moved his position, and leaned over while leaning on the cell door and asked him:
"Your mother...you don't know about this, do you?"
"Mom doesn't know."
"it is good."
After a while of silence, Guan Dahai asked again:
"How is she at home?"
"Mum, everything is fine."
It was silent again, and after two seconds, Guan Haihai seemed to understand the meaning of Guan Qingxian's answer, nodded, and spoke again:
"What about you? The palace didn't say they wanted to arrest you, did they?"
"No."
"it is good."
"Ah."
Afterwards, the father and son were speechless.
Guan Xiaoxian looked at Guan Haihai's face that seemed to have grown older overnight, and remembered how energetic he was when he was busy working in the imperial dining room, and suddenly his nose was sore, he opened his mouth, and said something that he didn't even expect The apology blurted out suddenly:
"Father, I'm sorry, I'm the one who got you into trouble..."
As soon as these words came out, Guan Dahai, who was holding on to the prison door with a miserable expression, was startled for a moment, and then stood up while climbing the prison door silently. Under the cover of the darkness, his originally tall and strong body was like a crooked and thin figure. .
Guan Xiaoxian watched Guan Haihai's hand pass through the gap between the railings and stretched straight towards him. He closed his eyes and waited for Guan Haihai's possible reaction. At this moment, unspeakable regret flooded his heart again. ——
If he had been more determined before, no matter what method he used to force Guan Dahai to quit his job, or if he had stayed at the dinner party and stopped Lan Fei's glass of poisoned wine in time, would the fate of their family have changed? If you don't manage the sea, you don't have to be thrown into prison without hope?if he……
The third "if" just popped out of his mind, and there was a crisp sound of "pop" in his ears. At the same time, Guan Xiaoxian suddenly felt a pain in his arm. The old man was standing behind the prison door alive and well, his hale and hearty eyes flashed like fireworks.
"I'll tell you why you unworthy son suddenly ran over to see me. You've been cheated by your feelings!" Guan Dahai was used to iron pots and iron spoons, and his fingers were dug into Guan Xiaoxian's flesh like eagle claws, he still felt uncomfortable. Very relieved, so he quickly took off the cloth shoe with the other hand and raised it up, and asked, "Quickly say it! Which bastard ordered you to poison people?!"
"What?" Guan Xiaoxian froze in place immediately, and when he saw the cloth shoes coming towards him, he hurriedly turned left and right to argue, "Father! No! I'm wronged... I'm not the one who poisoned you!"
The cloth shoes that fell down like raindrops stopped immediately, and Guan Dahai asked suspiciously:
"Really?"
Guan Xiaoxian immediately shook his head crazily, seeing that Guan Dahai only took his cloth shoes back after staring at him for a few seconds, Guan Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Dahai muttered while putting on his shoes: "You didn't poison, why did you say something so easily misunderstood... I almost thought that our old housekeeper was going to die this time, and I was almost scared to death—it wasn't you Poisoned?"
"Father..." Guan Qingxian called out in embarrassment.
Does he look that much like a villain?
Seeing his red eye circles, Guan Dahai waved his hands in disgust:
"Okay, okay! Nothing happened to your father and me, don't cry for me in advance... Go back and take good care of your mother, you know?"
"understood……"
"Okay, you can go if you have nothing to do."
After all, Guan Dahai sat down with his back to Guan Xiaoxian while holding the prison door, humming a little song in his mouth, as if he didn't care about the prison disaster again.
Guan Xiaoxian yelled a few times, but Guan Dahai didn't turn around, he stood for a while, then turned around and walked slowly.
Just before Guan Xiaoxian's back was about to leave the dimly lit dungeon, Guan Haihai glanced back quietly. There were two wet marks on his rough old face.
-
The moment he stepped out of the prison door, the bright sunlight hit Guan Xiaoxian's face, so bright that he couldn't help but squint his eyes and put his hands on his forehead.
A person who was waiting at the cell door came over and stood beside Guan Xiaoxian, covering him from the sun with his hands.
Guan Xiaoxian opened his eyes to see, and a faint smile spread over the corner of his mouth immediately:
"Why are you waiting here?"
Commander Qiao blinked, leaned close to Guan Xiaoxian's ear and whispered:
"Someone will do the investigation. I'm here to accompany you."
Hearing this, Guan Xiaoxian's first reaction was that it was a bit too intimate, but looking at Qiao Xie's face, the corners of his raised mouth curved up even more. Most of the heaviness dissipated because of his words.
While Guan Xiaoxian was unraveling his knots, Qiao Xie was paying attention to the surrounding scene. Seeing that both the imperial guards and the jailers had gone far away, he leaned forward again, and his lips almost touched Guan Xiaoxian's ears .
Suddenly aware of a warm object approaching his ear, Guan Xiaoxian hid back almost like a conditioned reflex, and when he realized it was Qiao Xie, his body suddenly stopped in place again, showing the word "contradiction" in capital letters. Words come.
Guan Xiaoxian blushed in embarrassment, and was about to ask Qiao Xie why he came up so suddenly, when he heard Qiao Xie utter a few words in a low voice:
"The poisoner has been caught."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt falling on Guan Xiaoxian's head. Guan Xiaoxian, who had experienced a big downturn in his life a few days ago, experienced an unexpected surprise in his life at this moment, and was also shocked by the big ups and downs. I stuttered a little with joy.
"Catch, catch, catch?" Guan Xiaoxian looked straight at Qiao Xie, saw him nodding with a smile, Guan Xiaoxian's heart was immediately occupied by excitement, and his originally slightly red face immediately turned blood-colored, gradually turning red Gotta turn purple.
"..."
The smile on Commander Qiao's face froze, and there was still some hesitation in his heart - he felt that if he told the truth now, he might be beaten to death.
But after all, he is my sweetheart, so I still have to tell the truth...
So Qiao Xie paused, and said something in a low voice--as soon as he opened his mouth, he was overwhelmed by Guan Xiaoxiao's unrestrained laughter.
Seeing Guan Xiaoxian laughing until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, Commander Qiao became even more silent.
When Guan Xiaoxian's laughter changed from wild to gentle, watching him wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, Commander Qiao silently raised his hand and hugged Guan Xiaoxian from behind.
"What are you doing?" After speaking, Guan Xiaoxian raised his brows in a good mood.
In the next second, Qiao Xie's deep voice sounded in his ears, with a slightly disturbed tone:
"The one caught is not the culprit behind it."
"..."
Guan Xiaoxian froze for a few seconds, and when his brain came back to his senses, he took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his arms—he couldn't lift them up!
Qiao Xie's arm firmly held him down, now Guan Xiaoxian is like a bound rabbit, he can't do anything except yell!
Guan Xiaoxian was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, he cursed angrily without thinking:
"No? You didn't tell me! Let me be happy for nothing?!"
"It's not in vain..." Qiao Xie parted a hand to cover Guan Xiaoxian's mouth, glanced around, and after confirming that no one heard what Guan Xiaoxian said just now, she hastily explained:
"Even if she wasn't the one who caused your father to be thrown into prison, she just happened to save your father's life by appearing at this juncture."
As soon as the words fell, the struggle in her arms stopped immediately.
As soon as Qiaoxie lowered his head, he saw Guan Xiaoxian leaning obediently on his chest with his hands tied, looking up at him with a pair of black and white eyes, with an innocent expression, as if he was not the same person as the one who just got angry.
Qiao Xie was speechless for a second, and then let go of the palm covering Guan Xiaoxian's mouth.
"What's going on?" Guan Xiaoxian asked, pulling his wrist.
Josie ticked the corner of her mouth.
In fact, this matter is very simple - Zhilan Palace has uncovered a spy who has been hiding for many years.
Not long ago, as soon as Qiao Xie sent Guan Xiaoxian into prison to meet Guan Dahai, she was invited by Furu, the confidante of Concubine Lan.
I don't know what was burning in Zhilan Palace, and there was a trace of obvious but not annoying medicinal fragrance in the fragrant air.
The day before yesterday, Concubine Lan, who was lying unconscious on the couch and was rumored to have passed away, was rubbed on her shoulders by the palace maid. She closed her eyes and meditated. When she heard that Qiao Xie had arrived, she pointed at him through the beaded curtain with a flat voice. :
"This was arranged by Concubine Rong. For many years, I have not been willing to touch her. Since Xi'er also intervened, you can take this person away. The emperors of the left and right have already given me enough favor. The next step is to change your life for your life or make a fuss about something else, it's up to you."
Concubine Lan raised her hand, and a bound court lady was pushed out of the screen, kneeling on the ground trembling.
All in all, that's what happened.
Seeing Guan Xiaoxian's thoughtful expression after listening, Qiao Xie thought he had a grudge against this, so he persuaded:
"This is just a stopgap measure. Let's hand over this person as the poisoner for now. We can slowly investigate the person behind the scenes..."
Just as he was talking, suddenly a figure ran out from the corner and rushed towards the two of them.
Qiao Xie glimpsed it out of the corner of her eye, and subconsciously pulled Guan Xiaoxian and took a step to the side. Unexpectedly, the footsteps of the visitor turned around and plunged into Guan Xiaoxian's arms like a cannonball.
"...Fuxi?"
Recognizing the person, Guan Xiaoxian was taken aback, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Fuxi raised his fair face, which had several obvious tear stains.
"Apprentice!" Fu Xi looked at Guan Xiaoxian's dazed face, and finally showed an expression of risking his life as if he was looking at death at home. He said with a trembling voice, "If you want to save Manager Guan, hand me over to you!"

Guan Xiaoxian couldn't remember how many times he had entered this place, standing in front of the familiar cell, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
