Chapter 2784 Which prisoner is being interrogated?
Indeed, in order to avoid suspicion, although his uncle Gu Tingqiu allowed Si Muyun and several of his students to go to Li Mansion to congratulate, he himself only sent a gift and did not attend in person.
So now, he is still at home.
Eunuch Yu said softly, "Your Highness, whether it's the former Prime Minister or the current Prime Minister, such a person is of great use at this time."
“…”
Nan Yan was speechless for a moment.
If she just wanted someone to come for help, she could make a judgment immediately and ask someone to find Gu Tingqiu.
However, if we talk about the possibility of having to sacrifice others before us, then——
She is not yet so cruel.
Seeing Nan Yan's obvious hesitation, Eunuch Yu sighed softly in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have overstepped my bounds."
Nan Yan glanced at him and said softly, "I understand what Eunuch Yu meant."
“…”
"Just let me think about it again."
Eunuch Yu nodded and bowed to her, then Nan Yan turned and walked towards King Wei.
Seeing her complicated expression, Zhu Chengxuan said softly, "My Lady, did Eunuch Yu say anything to you?"
“…”
Nan Yan looked up at him.
The young man's eyes were clear and bright, like stars in the sky in such a night. As soon as she saw his eyes, Nan Yan made up her mind.
No matter what, I have to maintain the overall situation and protect this child.
He is the future.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, tried to smile, and said, "Nothing."
Zhu Chengxuan looked at her: "Really?"
He obviously saw that Nan Yan was hiding some troublesome emotions.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry."
“…”
"I have something to ask you, and I can handle it."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "If there's any trouble, Your Majesty must tell me. Right now, Your Majesty and I are on the same side."
Nan Yan smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry."
After saying that, the two of them continued walking forward with Ruan Hengzhou and the others.

Ever since the nine inner and outer gates were closed, the entire capital city was so quiet that even the night wind stopped, and the leaves on the treetops seemed to be frozen, motionless.
But even this kind of quietness is not as good as a place in the city.
It is quiet here, dead silent.
Although there are many people here, and some people are even crying and shouting for justice in the dark night, the more such sounds there are, the quieter this place seems, as if even life is forbidden here.
This is the Heavenly Prison.
A cold full moon hung overhead, and a flash of moonlight, only palm-sized, shone through the high wall of the cell and through the window that was tightly sealed with iron bars.
It illuminated a pair of calm and cold wolf eyes.
Li Bushang leaned against a corner of the cell. The cold and damp air in the prison exuded a disgusting, corrupt smell, but this smell was not unfamiliar to him, a man in a high position.
On the contrary, this smell brought back some long-lost memories.
In those memories, there were raging fires and freezing ice, and he was reluctant to touch them, because every time he touched them, it gave him a feeling of ice and fire, a torture that seemed to tear him apart.
However, he couldn't help but recall the past.
Because at the end of this memory - or rather, what ends this memory - is a person's smile.
With a beautiful and gentle smile, when she appeared in the moonlight, even the cold moonlight had a softer warmth.
Li Bushang's Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Just as he looked up at the moonlight outside the window, a petite figure was sitting against the wall in the cell opposite.
But what Xie Jiaojiao was looking at was not the bright moonlight.
But it was Li Bushang’s cold face under the bright moonlight.
They have been locked up for some time.
Of course, they couldn't be like the others who were imprisoned in the Sky Prison, who kept shouting out their injustice even though their throats were hoarse. In fact, since the Imperial Concubine ordered all of them, including Li Bushang, to be arrested in the Li Mansion, Li Bushang had not said a word.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything else.
But the difference is that she has a lot to say, but she just can't say it.
And Li is not hurt...
He seemed to be completely empty.
Not to mention talking, after looking at him for so long, even his breathing and heartbeat seemed to stop.
Xie Jiaojiao felt heartbroken, knowing that he didn't want to see her or hear her speak at this time, but she watched him sitting there motionless, gazing at the bright moon late into the night, and this night should have been their wedding night.
Xie Jiaojiao's heart felt like it was being cut by thousands of knives, bleeding profusely and almost torn to pieces.
She struggled for a long time and finally spoke, but her voice was fragmented.
“No harm…”
Li Bushang didn't move.
Even his breathing was not disordered, and he continued to look up at the moon outside the window.
In the moonlight, his long eyelashes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which added a bit of coldness to his gaze.
Xie Jiaojiao had so many words and emotions in her heart that when she saw his gaze, she felt like she was frozen for a moment and couldn't say anything.
At this moment, a sound was heard from the other side of the cell, on the other side of the door.
Someone opened the cell door.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately turned her head away.
Unfortunately, being locked up in the cell, I could only barely see the dark and damp corridor in front of me, and could hardly see anything about the situation outside.
She immediately held her breath and heard footsteps coming in from outside.
It seems that there are quite a few people.
There were originally a few jailers guarding the cells sitting at the gate. They would walk back and forth in the corridors from time to time to observe whether there was anything unusual with the prisoners - of course, the most important thing was to guard against these people committing suicide. When they heard someone coming in, they immediately stood up to greet him.
Then, Xie Jiaojiao heard the frightened voices of the jailers—
"Your Highness! Your Highness the Prince of Wei?"
When Xie Jiaojiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Immediately, she saw Li Bushang in the cell opposite from the corner of her eye. Although he was still sitting there motionless, Xie Jiaojiao could clearly feel that his whole body seemed to be shaking.
Especially his gaze.
The layer of frost condensed on the pupils seemed to melt away in an instant.
Just because I heard those two words.
Xie Jiaojiao's grip on the wooden fence tightened involuntarily, and the rough wooden thorns immediately pierced her hand.
The jailers then asked earnestly, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, are you here to interrogate a prisoner?"
Suddenly, both of them held their breath.
