People who have been confined in a cage for a long time will gradually lose their wildness and their ability to control their emotions...

"Damn it, why won't they let us out! It's Gu Liyan who committed the crime, not us! They dragged us into this place and they don't care about us!" Huang Xi was almost going crazy, pacing back and forth.

As he spoke, he leaned over the doorway and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help! Let us out right now! Help!"

Green Embroidery sighed, looking helpless. "I advise you to save your energy. Do you think it's so easy to get out of here? Be careful, or you'll be tortured later!"

"That's right, if you ask me, you might as well kneel down and pray that Master Weng can rescue us as soon as possible!" Cheng Xi looked at Huang Xi, who had lost his composure due to his restlessness, and said with a look of disdain.

Green Embroidery said irritably, "Whether we can get out is one problem, the key is whether I can have a decent meal!"

Pointing to the prison food in front of her, Green Embroidery said with a bitter face, "There's not a drop of oil in it, how am I supposed to eat this!"

After he finished speaking, his stomach started rumbling loudly.

Qingqing, who was about to eat her prison food, blinked at the food, sighed, and threw down her chopsticks: "I refuse to eat such disgusting food!"

Hongling smiled coldly, "You lot can't even endure a little hardship, you really are a bunch of children."

Cheng Xi retorted irritably, "You're only a few months older than me, and you're calling me a child?"

Hong Ling's face turned cold. It was one thing for Huang Xi to talk back to her occasionally, but she didn't expect Cheng Xi to talk back to her now. "You're turning against me because of this? You still say you're not a child?"

"Hongling! We're both prisoners now, so don't put on airs like an older sister. We're not children, we don't need your help!" Chengxi said coldly.

Hongling glared angrily at Chengxi. "Chengxi, do you know what you're saying?"

Cheng Xi roared at Hong Ling, "Of course I know what I'm saying! Who do you think you are? Aren't you on good terms with Duan Tianqi? Where is he? Why didn't he rescue you? Why didn't you beg him to help us get out?"

"Heh, so that's why you're complaining about me," Hong Ling sneered. "If you're so capable, go seduce Prince Duan! But judging from your sword dance, even if you use all your skills, I'm afraid the prince wouldn't even be interested in you, right? None of your supporters can last three rounds!"

Cheng Xi's face was gloomy, and she bit her lip without saying anything.

Hong Ling squinted at Cheng Xi and continued coldly, "By the way, how much wine did you sell yesterday? Was it one bowl or two? I'm afraid you can't even compare to Qing Qing now, can you?"

"you……"

Before Chengxi could say anything, Qingqing suddenly stood up, went to Hongling, glared at her, and communicated in sign language: You can talk about others, but please don't compare me to others!

Seeing Qingqing's eyes redden with anger, Hongling couldn't help but smile and quickly changed her words, "Alright, alright, I understand, Qingqing. Just watch quietly and go rest over there."

Hearing Hongling say that, Qingqing didn't say anything more and continued to sit in the corner in a daze.

Seeing Hong Ling's arrogant attitude, Cheng Xi became furious and pointed at her, shouting, "Hong Ling! You are a prisoner now, you have no right to be so arrogant!"

"Hmph, I am indeed a prisoner, but as you just said, I can ask Duan Tianqi to release me if I want to. In that case, you'll have to kneel down and beg me to help you!" Hong Ling smiled wickedly, like a victorious queen.

“You, you…” Cheng Xi was immediately defeated.

Huang Xi dashed over to Hong Ling, pleading, "Sister Hong Ling, please beg Prince Duan! Please take me with you! Please!"

Huang Xi immediately started to act cute, and Hong Ling looked at Cheng Xi with a smug expression, "Okay! No problem!"

Cheng Xiqi's face turned ashen, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Green Embroidery, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes and came up to Red Silk. "Big sister, do you think... can I come with you?"

Hongling glanced at Lüxiu and smiled slightly, "Of course, no problem!"

Green Embroidery looked delighted. "That's good! That's good! I feel relieved with Big Sister here."

Hongling looked at Chengxi with a smug expression, then turned her gaze to Qingqing and said calmly, "Qingqing, don't worry, I will take you out."

Qingqing looked up at Hongling: Whether we can get out or not is not a problem, as long as we eat well!

Hong Ling smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I won't forget you!"

Qingqing didn't say anything and continued to squat in the corner, lost in thought.

Hongling looked at Chengxi triumphantly. Now everyone was on her side, and Chengxi would never be qualified to be her equal again!

Just then, something white walked in from outside the cell.

"Hey, look what's that?" Huang Xi spotted the white fox and pointed at it in surprise, asking, "Wow! It's so cute! How did it get in here?"

Qingqing looked in the direction Huang Xi was pointing, and her eyes widened immediately. She stood up abruptly and stared at it in disbelief—Gu Liyan!

Arriving at the cell door, Green Embroidery pressed her entire face against the cell wall, looking at the white fox with delight. "Wow, so cute! It's all fluffy!"

Qing Qing took a deep breath and confirmed that he was not mistaken; it was indeed Gu Liyan in the form of "Xiao Bai"!

Gu Liyan walked gracefully towards the crowd, his purple eyes narrowed as he looked at Qing Qing with tenderness.

"Wow, I've never seen such a cute...dog!" Huang Xi kept winking at Gu Liyan, trying to attract her attention.
