Chapter 95: I feel great

Chu Ran didn't know how Li Fu was doing recently. Since that day, he hadn't seen him again. It was just that occasionally Li Fu would send someone to deliver messages and bring him some food and daily necessities.

Many of the eunuchs in Dongchang were Zhao Zhongyi's former subordinates and were very loyal to him. So during these days in the prison, they took good care of Chu Ran and Chu Ran did not suffer much.

Even so, Chu Ran still wanted to leave here as soon as possible. Especially, Xiao Yingzi suddenly mentioned to him that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.

He recalled the imperial edict issued by Emperor Chengwen, which stated that Li Fu should return to Yunzhou after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

If Xiao Yingzi hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Time flies.

It seemed like Li Fu had arrived in the capital from Yunzhou only a few days ago, but in fact several months had passed.

The more Chu Ran thought about it, the more anxious he became. Xiao Yingzi even said enviously, "You know, the palace is always the busiest at this time. I've been so busy lately. I really envy you. You have food and drink here, and even if you lie still, someone will serve you. I want to be locked up here."

"In my opinion, you should just stay here peacefully. It would be best if you were released after the Mid-Autumn Festival. That would not be too late."

"No way." Chu Ran said in a daze.

"What did you say? What's wrong?"

Chu Ran looked at him, his eyes full of anxiety, "I want to go out, I must go out as soon as possible."

"What's wrong? Is there anything urgent?"

Chu Ran nodded.

"What's the matter? You have to do it yourself? Tell me what it is and I'll do it for you."

Chu Ran shook his head again.

"What's going on? Tell me."

But Chu Ran didn't say what it was all about. Xiao Yingzi wanted to help, but since Chu Ran didn't say anything, he couldn't do anything at all.

Only Chu Ran himself knew that it was not a serious matter, he just wanted to see Li Fu off.

We should be able to go out before the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?

Li Fu told him personally that he would help him get out of here. Li Fu didn't see himself walk out of the cell with his own eyes, so he shouldn't go back to Yunzhou, right?

Fortunately, this anxious state did not last too long. Early the next morning, Li Fu, who had not been seen for many days, finally came to pick him up.

Riding on the carriage back, Chu Ran's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Li Fu saw Chu Ran was very happy along the way and thought he was finally released, so he was happy. But what really made Chu Ran happy was not this, but that he finally had enough time to send Li Fu away.

They didn't have a proper goodbye last time, but at least this time, they can say goodbye properly.

But now is not the time to separate, so Chu Ran tried his best not to think about separation.

"By the way, how did you get me out of there?"

Li Fu did promise to get Chu Ran out later, and Chu Ran also firmly believed that Li Fu could do it. However, the twists and turns and difficulties involved were not mentioned to Chu Ran even by the people sent by Li Fu.

Li Fu didn't say it, but Chu Ran wanted to know.

He just wanted to know how much effort Li Fu had put in to save him.

"Nothing." Li Fu said, "Didn't Yu want to force you to confess? So he found some evidence of his own corruption and bribery. He also went to the palace and found Li Dingning, asking him to find a way to say something good about you in front of Emperor Chengwen."

His tone was nonchalant and his expression was calm, just as Chu Ran had expected.

But the dark circles under Li Fu's eyes showed how busy and tired Li Fu had been recently for his affairs.

Chu Ran didn't want to say thank you because thanking him would sound too distant. Chu Ran asked, "Are you tired? If you are, I can lend you my shoulder to lean on."

Chu Ran patted his own shoulders, indicating that his shoulders were really solid and reliable.

Li Fu curled his lips and smiled. He took the initiative to move over and sit next to Chu Ran. Then he tilted his head unconsciously and rested his head on Chu Ran's shoulder.

Chu Ran sat upright, hoping that Li Fu could feel more comfortable with his pillow.

"When I just came, I happened to meet people from the Ministry of Justice on the way to Yu Min's house to arrest someone. I guess they have arrived at the Ministry of Justice prison now. Do you want to go and take a look?" Li Fu closed his eyes, looking very comfortable.

"This is not good, it's like kicking someone when they are down, this is too bad." Chu Ran said shyly, and soon, he couldn't hold it in anymore, and said with a chuckle: "Can we still catch up now?"

"We should be able to catch up." Li Fu said.

So Chu Ran immediately shouted to the driver outside the door: "Change route to the Ministry of Justice Prison!"

Unexpectedly, they happened to run into Lord Yu Min who was being escorted into the Ministry of Justice prison at the gate.

Chu Ran opened the curtain beside him and stuck his head out. After a while, he turned back and asked Li Fu, "What should I do? I want to scold him."

Li Fu said: "If you want to curse, then curse."

"Okay, I'll scold you then." Chu Ran took a deep breath, "Master Yu! Look here!"

Yu Min heard someone calling him and turned around.

"I'm gonna fuck you &&%￥#*@￥&%, you bastard, I wish you @￥%￥#@*%"

The curse was so harsh that it was the first time for Li Fu to know that curses could be so foul.

Chu Ran was obviously satisfied with his scolding. He turned his head and asked Li Fu: "Do you have any stones, rotten eggs or anything like that in your hand?"

Li Fu took off the token from his waist and asked, "How about this?"

"Iron? This is good."

The window was too small for Chu Ran to move freely, so he simply opened the curtain of the carriage and half of his body came out. He aimed at the back of Yu Min's head and threw it directly at him.

Yu Min screamed and covered his head.

Chu Ran stood high on the carriage and raised his middle finger arrogantly at Yu Min.

"Bah, you dog official! Go to hell!" Chu Ran spat at Yu Min fiercely.

Then Yu Min was taken in.

The resentment that had accumulated for many days just now completely dissipated. Chu Ran stood in the carriage for a while, feeling refreshed. Suddenly he thought of something, jumped off the carriage quickly, ran over to pick up the token on the ground, wiped it clean with his sleeve, then walked back and returned it to Li Fu.

The moment he handed the token to Li Fu, Chu Ran smiled happily with his big white teeth.

"I forgot to tell you something." Li Fu lowered his head and slowly tied the token back to his waist. "Before coming here, I went to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the ransom for you."

"Ransom? What ransom? Why do I have to pay the ransom?"

"After all, this is no small matter. According to the rules, you still have to stay in jail for a year, but if you pay a ransom, you can be released early. Look, you are out now, aren't you?"

"Okay." Chu Ran got on the carriage and said to Li Fu, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

Chu Ran blinked, "Didn't you pay the ransom for me?"

"Where do I get so much money?" Li Fu said, "I took it from your savings over the years. I even went to the courtyard where we used to live in the palace and found it in your room."
