Chapter 75 Prison Visit
"Then..." Cheng Shuyi touched the back of his ear, "Is the prince accustomed to the food in prison?"
"I don't know about that." Mo Xiao said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go and see for yourself and find out?"
The meals he sent were naturally not comparable to those made by Cheng Shuyi.
It would be strange if Pei Yanli could get used to it!
After Cheng Shuyi knew Sheng Tinglan's purpose, her psychological pressure was relieved a lot.
She no longer hesitated about Pei Yanli.
"Can I go to jail?"
"certainly!"
After getting Mo Xiao's affirmative answer, Cheng Shuyi put down his chopsticks and went to the kitchen again.
"It's still early, I'll go make him some dishes. I'd really like to see what he looks like in jail."
Mo Xiao looked at Cheng Shuyi's back and secretly asked the two children, "Is your mother always so stubborn?"
The two cubs tilted their heads and forgot to eat the vegetables next to their sister's mouth.
They didn't understand what Mo Xiao meant.
Cheng Shuyi cooked a few dishes and put them in a lunch box.
Mo Xiao was also satisfied with the meal and wanted to take her to the prison.
But the two children were left unattended.
Cheng Shuyi went to the Shen family, but Shen Zhoushi and Shen Huaichang were not there.
The maid said that because of the Gongyuan Incident, Shen Ting was too busy to go home, and the lady and the young master went back to their parents' home to avoid the chaos.
After all, Pingxi Lane is close to the Imperial Examination Hall.
Shen Zhou was worried that something bad would happen if things got chaotic, so she took Shen Huaichang back to her parents' home.
The Lin family is probably even busier.
As a captain of the imperial guards, Lin He probably had not been home since the day when Prince Yan led his men to surround the Imperial Examination Hall.
"General Mo, can you help me take care of the child?" Cheng Shuyi turned his attention to Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao waved his hands in fear and refused, "No, no, no, I can't do that. Besides, I'll have to take you to jail."
He is also going to jail, how can he take care of the children?
"That's true." Cheng Shuyi looked at the two children.
I had no choice but to take them with me.
Mo Xiao's carriage was still parked in the alley. The mother and her two children got directly into Mo Xiao's carriage and went to the prison with him.
The Ministry of Justice Prison.
Mo Xiao took the mother and her two children and had a smooth journey.
The prison is semi-underground and has small windows, so the air and light are pretty good.
It was already evening, and the golden-red sunset shone through the small window.
The sunlight revealed the traces of dust in the air, making the prison seem not scary at all, and even a little beautiful.
There were no other prisoners in the cell.
The two kids thought they were playing in a haunted house in the park.
Running and laughing, playing hide-and-seek.
The two children laughed loudly, and Pei Yanli heard it.
He stood up from the straw mat, and before he even reached the prison door, two small figures ran towards him.
"father--"
The two children were not afraid of the cage and one of them just leaned sideways and went in.
Then he came out of the cell next door.
I really think this is a haunted house in the park.
"That's a good treatment, Your Highness." Cheng Shuyi came over.
She turned around and wanted Mo Xiao to open the prison door for her, but found that Mo Xiao had stopped halfway and did not go in.
When Pei Yanli saw her and the two children, his first reaction was to let them go.
"The prison is dirty and full of rats and ants. Why are you here?"
Pei Yanli said this, but he took the initiative to open the prison door with his hands and let Cheng Shuyi in.
Cheng Shuyi: “…”
Is this also called imprisonment?
Cheng Shuyi put the food box on the table and said, "I brought you some food, help yourself."
The ancient prison was quite new to Cheng Shuyi.
She walked around curiously, shook the wooden stakes with her hands, and turned over the bed where Pei Yanli slept.
Just like the two kids squatting in the corner, teasing ants with straw.
Pei Yanli was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
These two girls must be here to have fun in the prison.
Pei Yanli opened the food box brought by Cheng Shuyi. The food was still hot: a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a dish of vegetables with garlic sauce, and a dish of fried noodles.
There was no way, she had used up all the ingredients to entertain Mo Xiao.
I could only make him a few meals with what was left in the kitchen.
Pei Yanli is not picky about food and eats with relish.
This egg fried noodles is fried with plenty of steam, and it is very fragrant when fried with lard!
"My Lord, when can you go out?"
Cheng Shuyi took off the water bottle from his body, picked up a bowl, and poured him some cold tea.
Her eyes remained fixed on his hands.
Pei Yanli's ten fingers were already rotten, and he had taken up the sword in battle two days ago, so they were even rottener now.
Fortunately, we were not allowed to touch water in prison, and our nails were blocked by blood, flesh, mud and other things, so we didn’t bleed.
The bloodstains on his clothes also turned black over time.
The two children were not scared.
"Maybe in two days."
Pei Yanli smiled and said, "The king will be released from prison in a couple of days. I'll have to trouble Shuyi to take him in for a while."
Cheng Shuyi was surprised: "Take you in? Why?"
Pei Yanli raised his eyebrows secretly, and when he picked up the tea bowl, he did not forget to pretend that he could not take care of himself.
"I was implicated by the Prince of Yan and imprisoned. My rank was demoted one grade, and I was fined two years' salary. Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, I cannot return to the palace."
Pei Yanli described himself in a very miserable way and even stretched out his arm to show her.
"Look, my arm is pierced and no one comes to heal me. I am now in dire straits."
Cheng Shuyi actually tried to pick at the broken hole on his arm.
It was a penetrating wound caused by an arrow. The wound was not deep and almost grazed the skin.
But after all, there were two holes in the arm, and it hurt at the sight.
"Don't strip me of my clothes." Pei Yanli was worried that his injuries would be seen by the child. "When I'm released from prison, Shuyi can strip me however he wants."
"You're injured and have a fever. The fever has spread to your brain."
Cheng Shuyi was teased and her face turned red to her ears, "Not serious!"
"Eat quickly, it's getting dark and we have to go back." She urged him.
Pei Yanli liked to see her blush. Whenever she blushed, her aura would weaken.
In addition, she has a naturally gentle face, which is delicate and very attractive.
"Is your stomach still hurting these days?" Pei Yanli asked seriously.
Cheng Shuyi raised his eyes, a little surprised that he would ask that.
He himself was injured so badly, with bloody holes all over his body, and he still cared about whether she was in pain.
Cheng Shuyi shook his head slightly and called the two children over.
"We are going back now to say goodbye to Dad."
The two children hugged Pei Yanli and acted like spoiled children.
"Dad, Brother Mo Xiao is stupid and can't use an abacus. You need to come home quickly. I don't want to be spanked by Master Cen."
Mo Xiao, whose hearing was excellent at this time, asked: "......?"
Pei Yanli was moved and choked up: "Okay, Dad will be home soon."
He really needs to go and bargain with Sheng Hong.
Otherwise, just take advantage of this injury and get out early.
If he was seriously injured, Shuyi might even feel sorry for him.
