“Daddy…”
Lian Bao frowned and called out to Tang Defan, "Is Xiao Shuang Bao dead?"
"No."
Tang Defan looked at Lianbao with some affection, then shook his head, "He just fainted."
"Why not just kill her? She's still alive. If the Emperor finds her, she'll still be in my way."
Lianbao was very dissatisfied with this.
"Lianbao, you are still young and don't understand some things. What we have done is a capital crime of deceiving the emperor. If the truth comes out one day, you can use Xiao Shuangbao to threaten the emperor and find a way out for yourself.
"Dad imprisoned her instead of killing her directly so that we wouldn't be left with nowhere to go if the truth came to light in the future."
Tang Defan explained patiently.
Lianbao naturally didn't understand this truth.
She only knew that she hated Xiao Shuangbao and didn't want her to continue living.
"Well, Lianbao knows."
But she still nodded as if she was very sensible, and then asked, "Then Daddy, what should we do next?"
"Next, you will return to the Duke of England's mansion and tell them that the little princess doesn't like you and deliberately abandoned you on the way. You don't know how to get back to the palace, so have the old Duke of England send someone to escort you back. As for how the little princess is doing, no matter who asks you, just say you don't know."
Tang Defan explained.
Lianbao nodded and agreed.
When Tang Defan sent someone to send Lianbao to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, Xiao Shuangbao was already in a dark prison.
She had pretended to be drugged and was brought here.
Judging by the time, the effect of the medicine should be almost gone.
So, at this moment, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Little Princess, why did you deliberately come to this prison?"
On the side, Yan Yuan and Mian Mian asked.
"Because Shuangbao feels that there are many ghosts who died unjustly here."
Little Shuangbao sat up from the ground.
After she finished speaking, she looked around with her pair of dark, bright eyes.
When she pretended to faint and was taken away by Tang Defan, she heard him say that she would be imprisoned in the prison where serious criminals of the court were held, and these cells were all relatively hidden places.
Shuangbao suspected that his father might not even know the existence of these cells.
That is to say, this is a cage secretly set up by Tang Defan.
Perhaps those imprisoned here are all victims of Tang Defan's selfish persecution.
There are guards outside the cells.
Xiao Shuangbao said a few words to Yan Yuan and Mian Mian.
The two of them immediately knocked down all the guards silently, then took the key from the guards and opened the cell door for Xiao Shuangbao.
As soon as Xiao Shuangbao went out, he walked next door.
There are five cells here in total, and each cell is separated by a thick wall, making it impossible for the mortals inside to communicate.
"Who are you?"
At this time, Xiao Shuangbao had just walked to the next room, and an old man in his forties or fifties sitting inside couldn't help but raise his head vigilantly and look at her.
When he saw Xiao Shuangbao's face in the dim light of the cell, he was stunned.
"Who are you……"
The old man felt that Xiao Shuangbao looked very familiar.
But he couldn't think of who it was at the moment, and only asked hoarsely with that dry voice, "Whose child are you?"
"Hello, Grandpa. My name is Xiao Shuangbao, and my full name is Su Chushuang. The God of War Su Liao is Shuangbao's father, and Shuangbao's mother is a disciple of Xuanmen, named Yun Lingjun."
Xiao Shuangbao introduced himself in one breath.
Then, she opened her dark, lustrous eyes and asked curiously, "Grandpa, what's your name? Can you tell Shuangbao? Also, can you tell Shuangbao why you were imprisoned here?"
She asked a series of questions.
As soon as the old man heard Su Liao's name, he immediately understood.
No wonder this little baby face looks so familiar!
It turns out that she is Su Liao's daughter!
"My name is Lian Keyuan."
The old man stared at Xiao Shuangbao with a pair of cloudy eyes, suppressing a hint of excitement. He said in a gentle tone, "He is the former Taifu of the current dynasty. Your father, Su Liao, was once my disciple."
"Are you Daddy's teacher? No, your last name is Lian?"
When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, he quickly counted on his little fingers.
Soon, a smile appeared on her face, which had been a little doubtful at first. "You didn't lie! So, you are the slandered and framed Lord Lian that Wei Yunqing mentioned!"
"Do you know Wei Yunqing?" Lian Keyuan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "If I remember correctly, Wei Yunqing committed suicide by taking poison two years ago. Could it be that he is not dead?"
"He's dead. He's been dead for a long time."
Little Frost Treasure said.
"Then how did you learn about me from him?"
Lian Keyuan looked skeptical.
