An Rui and Liu Boxing glanced at her, then turned their heads away as if they didn't know her.
The others, including Zhu Shijing, Leng Xiangbai, and Jiang Zhou, leaned against the wall and closed their eyes to rest, without even opening them.
Xiao Wenrou's eyes darkened. She didn't understand why her halo as the heroine seemed to have lost its effect on the people around An Xin, this annoying woman.
"Oh, isn't this Miss An, whose fame once spread all over the capital?" Xiao Wenrou said with a smile on her face, "I heard that you were in jail, so I came to see you specially."
"See if I'm dead or not." An Xin was very self-aware and straightforward and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still alive."
Xiao Wenrou choked.
Before she could do anything, her purpose of coming was seen through.
Xiao Wenrou glanced at the thick mats and bedding that Jiang Chenxi and someone else had brought into the cell, and a hint of sarcasm and cruelty flashed in her eyes.
She turned to the prison boss who came in behind her and said in a tender voice, "How can we let the prisoners' families send bedding to the cell?
This shows that you are not managing well. Why don't you take these away and send more things that are needed in the cell? You must make sure that the lady-in-waiting lives comfortably here."
Xiao Wenrou looked at the handsome men in the cell with regret, pursed her lips, then glared at An Xin hatefully, and whispered a few words to the jailer.
Then she smiled coldly at An Xin and said something incomprehensible: "No matter if you are from that place or not, you deserve to die for overshadowing me for so long."
An Xin met Xiao Wenrou's probing eyes, raised one of his eyebrows with a slightly heroic look, and could not deny it.
Xiao Wenrou, who couldn't tell what was going on, snorted, "Wait for death, bitch."
After saying this, she didn't care about the looks Zhu Shijing and Jiang Zhou had on them who were glaring at her, she threw her sleeves, turned around, swayed her waist gracefully and walked out of the cell.
As soon as Xiao Wenrou left, the jailer who was newly assigned by Prime Minister Xiao and the Minister of Justice began to order the bailiffs to come in and take away the mats and beddings sent into the cell by each family.
This drew protests and curses from the detained officials.
After taking away the bedding, they saw that the straw mats brought in by the yamen runners were soaked with water. How could they sit or lie down?
Although these officials maintained their gentlemanly demeanor and did not curse, they all had a new understanding of Xiao Wenrou, the delicate and gentle woman who was once a famous talent in the capital.
They labeled him as sinister, vicious, narrow-minded and jealous.
In the middle of the night, An Xin looked through the hair buns of several students and finally set his eyes on the hairpin that fixed Jiang Zhou's hair.
Reaching out and pulling it out, Jiang Zhou, with disheveled hair, glared at her with narrowed eyes.
An Xin touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Use it for a while and I'll return it to you."
"Why don't you use your own?" Jiang Zhou smoothed his loose black hair and said unwillingly.
An Xin: "It's quite troublesome to let your hair down~"
Jiang Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "You find it troublesome, but I don't?!"
When the other people woke up and opened their eyes, they saw Jiang Zhou with disheveled hair in the middle of the night. The corners of their mouths twitched and they subconsciously covered the hairpin that fixed their hair bun, fearing that someone would harm them.
An Xin glanced at the others with disdain, walked out quietly, poked open the lock of the cell door with the hairpin, and then returned the hairpin to Jiang Zhou.
He made a gesture to silence the other people who were about to speak, and then walked out of the cell leisurely.
Passing by the cells where other officials were imprisoned, General Yuchi, who was much more alert than the civil servants, squinted his eyes and glanced at An Xin who came out.
The two looked at each other, and as if they saw nothing, they closed their eyes again.
Shan Jinzhe and Gongsun Hong also opened their eyes after An Xin left the cell. The two old foxes looked at each other and also chose to turn a blind eye.
The palace was silent at midnight.
A slender figure in a black tights stood outside the palace wall, wondering whether it would be better for him to leave with a group of monkey cubs, or to stay and serve the old emperor and earn a bright future for them.
[Host friendly reminder, if they leave the officialdom, they may return to their original destiny]
Someone was startled when he heard the system's voice that had not appeared for a long time in his consciousness.
Thinking of the original fate of Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai and the other six, either a tragic death or a miserable life, he narrowed his eyes.
Done.
It was just that the old emperor was not paying attention for a moment and was taken advantage of. After being poisoned and falling into a coma, he lost control of the court.
It’s okay, it’s just a struggle for kingship.
It’s not a big problem. If you can’t solve it, run away.
After some thought, the slender figure decisively flew into the palace wall, avoided the patrolling guards, and came to Emperor Sheng'an's bedroom.

When Eunuch Xiang, who was taking care of his own Majesty with a tired face, heard the noise and turned around to see who jumped in from the window, he almost ran over and hugged An Xin and turned into a crying monster.
"Oh, my Lord An!" Eunuch Xiang grabbed An Xin's sleeve tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away, and said in a low voice with a tearful look: "Wow, you are finally here."
"I have built the stage for your majesty, but it's a pity that your majesty is unwilling to deal with those people. I am in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, eating rotten rice and lying on the board. There is nothing I can do, no."
An Xin said this with full of resentment.
Eunuch Xiang touched his nose and realized that the emperor was careless this time.
The first time I was poisoned, I was caught off guard.
It is a bit hard to understand why he was poisoned again after An Xin came back from Nanyang and brought Doctor Su to the palace to cure him.
Moreover, the king and his ministers also discussed at that time that in order to let those people act arrogantly without any scruples, they should expose all their intentions, and then they would take action to deal with them.
But unexpectedly, An Xin voluntarily let those people take him to jail.
On the side of Concubine Xian and Prime Minister Xiao, one colluded with foreign officials to push her son to the position of crown prince as she wished, while the other was also satisfied with the centralized control of the court power.
But I didn't expect that Emperor Sheng An would let me down.
There was another person hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike, and even Emperor Sheng An probably didn't notice him.
Only after An Xin noticed a clue and sent people to keep a close eye on the situation did he realize that some people also wanted to steal the throne.
After An Xin heard what Eunuch Xiang whispered in her ear, she raised her head and looked at a piece of wood on top of the beam in the house.
Before daybreak, Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing, Jiang Zhou, An Xin, and Liu Boxing stared at the people who had returned.
Under the dim light of the cell lamp, they watched An Xin walk to the side where he usually rested, sit on the straw mat and close his eyes as if he had never been out.
None of the five people spoke. Finally, the brothers looked at each other, closed their eyes and went to sleep.
After An Xin withstood several inquiring gazes, he withdrew his gaze and sat there as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
