She took a closer look and confirmed that it was something Ana Shen had put on her last night.
"this…"
She raised her hand and looked over inquiringly.
Ana Shen: “Nothing, just a little thing I picked up.”
Picked up?
Xiao Xu rolled his eyes secretly. Can you say a little more?
What's wrong with her? If she really picked up something like this, she could hang upside down on the tree all day.
Because she felt that even if it was silver, as long as it fell on the ground, he would never pick it up.
Knowing that someone wouldn't tell him, Xiao Xu could only keep it in his heart.
She looked at the red string again.
The black binding seemed to be made of very thin thread.
Sort of like... human hair.
Who would do this with human hair? Are you crazy? Definitely not.
After thinking it over to no avail, Xiao Xu put the matter aside.
Thinking about something else.
…
After staying in the cell for two days and one night, someone finally came.
But Xiao Xu didn't expect that it would be the old emperor himself.
"Master, you have suffered. I just received the news as well."
The old emperor looked anxious. After ordering someone to open the cell door, he quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Xiao He.
Ana Shen leaned forward to separate them and saluted: “Your Highness.”
"Lord Shen, you have suffered too. Shen Junjue is such a jerk. He locked people up without knowing right or wrong. It's simply lawless. Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Thinking that Shen Yanjin was Shen Junjue's father, and thinking that he was concerned about the blood relationship, he said: "If Shen Aiqing has any concerns..."
Ana Shen replied coldly: “The minister has no concerns.”
The old emperor nodded, patted his shoulder, and said, "I already know that you and the Imperial Master are living together, and the Imperial Master doesn't want to leave for the time being. In this case, you must serve the Imperial Master well. If anything goes wrong with the Imperial Master, you will be held responsible."
Is this a show of force?
To Shen Yanjin?
The old emperor respects you as a man.
"I obey the decree."
The three of them walked slowly out of the prison.
The moment I stepped out of the door, fresh air filled my nose.
Xiao Xu raised his eyes and saw two carriages waiting outside.
Standing in front of the carriage were Chen Wang and Qiu Xiaoan.
Seeing the old emperor and the master come out, the two men knelt down.
"Master, you have been exhausted these past two days. Go back and have a good rest."
Xiao Xu nodded and watched the old emperor leave on the dragon chariot.
Qiu Xiaoan: "Master, Miss Xiao... no, it's the Imperial Preceptor, are you alright?"
She knew that she was the national teacher but she still asked the question without batting an eyelid. She is indeed an old lady and lives up to the title.
Xiao: "Nothing, just hungry."
Qiu Xiaoan smiled gently and said, "Master Imperial Master, please get in the carriage. We will return to Qingxiu Mansion soon."
After glancing at Shen Yanjin, Xiao Xu stepped onto the carriage driven by Qiu Xiaoan.
The carriage wheels rumbled as it headed towards Qingxiu Mansion. On the way, Xiao Xu heard a familiar voice, so he lifted the curtain and looked outside.
"Impossible! She's just the little bastard's maid. She can't be the Imperial Master! She must be lying. Impossible..."
Madam Zhang was being forced by a group of people on her way to the Heavenly Prison, along with Shen Junjue, some concubines, and illegitimate sons and daughters.
The legitimate son and the legal wife were nowhere to be seen.
Shen Junjue was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead: "Shut up, it's all your fault, you bitch, look at what you did?!"
Mrs. Zhang: "You're still scolding me. This is clearly you..."
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Mrs. Zhang swallowed them back. Her eyes were flustered, and her words were not clear: "It's all my fault, yes, this is all my fault!"
