The jailer told Xiao Xun how to get there. Xiao Xun followed the jailer's instructions and found that the prison was indeed dark and cold. The oil lamps on the wall flickered, which was a bit scary.

However, Su Yang felt that this prison was quite clean, without any rats or insects. There was a stone bed in each cell for the prisoners to rest. There was no one in the cells outside. The further in, the more people were imprisoned.

When the prisoners there saw someone coming in, they all turned their attention to the identities of Su Yang and Xiao Xun. Although Xiao Xun was the descendant of a tiger general, she was raised in seclusion and was no different from other young ladies from wealthy families. She had never seen such a scene before, and those pairs of dark eyes had already scared her to the point of breaking out in cold sweats.

Su Yang noticed Xiao Xun's discomfort, stepped forward and held Xiao Xun's arm and said, "How about you wait for me outside?"

Xiao Xun shook his head slightly and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

Su Yang held Xiao Xun's arm and walked inside. He saw a group of children squatting on the ground, huddled together to keep warm. Xu Chang was lying on the cold stone bed, dying. Several young men took off their outer robes and spread them on the stone bed, covering Xu Chang with them to make Xu Chang somewhat warmer. Except for Xu Chang, the other young men had whip marks of varying degrees of severity on their bodies, but they were much lighter than Xu Chang's inability to move.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but it was freezing cold inside the prison.

"Xu Chang!" Su Yang's eyes instantly turned red as he looked at the motionless Xu Chang.

Xiao Xun opened the food box in Su Yang's hand and passed the food to the children one by one through the gap. The children were obviously very hungry and their eyes lit up when they saw the food, but they did not forget to leave some for others.

The other young men, who were originally guards from Prince Xun's Mansion, were all shocked when they saw Su Yang: "Miss Xue Yang?"

Su Yang nodded slightly and said, "How is General Xu?"

A guard replied: "The situation is not good. The injuries are too severe."

"Why were they beaten like this?" Su Yang didn't understand. The Xunwang Mansion had always been isolated from the outside world. Even if they were down and out, they wouldn't be bullied like this! They were all going to die anyway, so Hua Yiyao didn't have the time to torture them. The only ones who had conflicts with the Xunwang Mansion were Hua Li and Jin Xizi.

Although Jin Xizi is cunning and scheming, he is not the kind of person who would kick someone when they are down, but Hua Li is a bit more unpredictable...

At this moment, a guard said with a gloomy face: "It's Hua Li."

Su Yang's face darkened: "It really is him."

"Miss Xueyang." Xu Chang moved slightly, opened his eyes and looked at Su Yang.

When Su Yang saw Xu Chang wake up, he quickly asked, "Can you hold on?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Chang asked, "How long will you hold on?"

Su Yang looked around and asked Xu Chang to come over.

But Xu Chang was seriously injured and could not move at all. Several guards helped Xu Chang to move closer to Su Yang. Even under the dim oil lamp, it could still be seen that Xu Chang's face was very pale. His body was shaking with pain and his brows were furrowed, but he still kept his lips tightly pursed and said nothing, not even a hum.

When Xu Chang approached, Su Yang whispered, "The prince is trying to find a way to save you. You must hold on."

Xu Chang was shocked and looked at Su Yang in disbelief, his eyes full of excitement.

It was rare to see Xu Chang's expression change, but Su Yang was in no mood to appreciate it. He nodded with tears in his eyes and whispered to Xu Chang, "If Hua Li comes again and says something unpleasant, you must endure it and wait for the prince to come back."

Xu Chang didn't say anything, which was equivalent to agreeing.
