"That's perfect. I'm a little tired and want to rest. Since you can't sleep, you can review these memorials for me."

As soon as Xiao Jinyu saw the memorial, he immediately looked as if he was extremely sleepy. "Father, um, what, I suddenly feel sleepy now. I am extremely sleepy. I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he slipped away.

The emperor looked at his son running faster than a rabbit and snorted, "You little bastard, can't I punish you?"

Looking down at the pile of memorials in front of me, I thought of the queen going to the White Horse Temple...

The emperor ordered: "Eunuch Li, change the tea."

"Yes." Eunuch Li stepped forward, took the teacup away, and placed a cup of new tea on the dragon table.

After Xiao Jinyu came out, he ordered his personal guard to ride a fast horse to find the prince.

After giving the instructions, Xiao Jinyu originally wanted to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to visit Shen Chuwei, but seeing that it was getting late, thinking that Shen Chuwei must have rested, he changed his mind and returned to Chengqian Palace.

As soon as I stepped into the bedroom, I saw Miss Han sitting there quietly.

He discovered that whenever he came back late, Miss Han would sit there, holding a cup of tea in her hand, sipping it slowly and leisurely. She was so quiet that people could ignore her, but her almost cold attitude made it impossible to ignore her.

"Miss Han, you haven't rested yet?" Xiao Jinyu said as he walked over.

Miss Han put down the teacup in her hand, raised her beautiful watery eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu, "I'm waiting for you to come back."

Xiao Jinyu sat down in front of Miss Han and poured himself a cup of tea. "Actually, you don't have to wait for me. You can rest first if you are tired." After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took two sips.

Miss Han looked at Xiao Jinyu calmly, "I'm not tired."

Xiao Jinyu paused while drinking tea, raised his eyes to look at Miss Han. The look in her eyes... he didn't know whether to drink the tea in his hand or not.

"Miss Han is really in high spirits."

Miss Han was not modest: "Better than Prince Yu."

Xiao Jinyu smiled awkwardly. Doesn’t he have any face?

At this time, Qin Xiao was tied to a rack with his arms spread out and tied up, unable to move.

He had already been tortured for several rounds, and his guard uniform had long been whipped into strips. The blood had dried up and new blood was flowing out.

No matter how the prison boss whipped him, Qin Xiao didn't say a word.

Several people took turns beating him until midnight when they were tired and then stopped.

"You bastard! My hands are sore, but you didn't say a word? "Forget it, go to sleep. We'll continue tomorrow. We'll use all kinds of torture instruments. I'm not afraid that he won't confess."

After the prison boss and several jailers left, Qin Xiao raised his head. His originally handsome face was now covered with whip marks. His brows were tightly furrowed, but he remained silent.

The next day, Shen Chuwei heard the cheerful chirping of birds outside the window. She leaned out of the window and saw two magpies jumping and chirping happily on the branches. They looked so happy.

Seeing Chunxi coming in, she pointed at the magpies and said, "Chunxi, there are two magpies on the tree, they are very affectionate."

Upon hearing this, Chunxi put down the clothes in her hands and walked over. She looked out of the window and saw two magpies chirping happily.

"My lady, they say that if a magpie calls in front of your door, good things will happen." Chunxi rarely smiled: "Something good will definitely happen in the next two days."

Shen Chuwei looked at the two magpies on the branch, with a sweet smile in her eyes: "I have a hunch too."

At this moment, a dark head suddenly popped up from outside the window, with a young and handsome face and a pair of curved peach blossom eyes that always had a faint smile.

Xiao Jinyu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to see you."

Shen Chuwei praised generously: "Prince Yu, you are amazing. You actually came in without anyone noticing."

Xiao Jinyu was quite proud, "Of course, don't you see who I am?"

Chunxi seemed to have seen a savior, "Prince Yu, you are finally here. Has the emperor found out the truth? When did he release my young lady?"

Xiao Jinyu's face immediately turned serious, "It hasn't been found out yet. My father was cuckolded a few days ago, and he's still angry. It's inevitable that he would be furious when encountering something like this."

Chunxi said indignantly: "But my young lady has clearly been pregnant for more than five months, it's just that I didn't find out until after Your Highness left."

"Of course I believe you, sister-in-law." Xiao Jinyu looked at Shen Chuwei and said soothingly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I have already told my brother to come back, and also sent someone to the White Horse Temple to ask my mother to come back quickly."

"As for the two imperial doctors, I have also sent people to investigate. If they dare to frame my sister-in-law, I will never let them off easily."

Shen Chuwei was so touched that she couldn't help but said, "How could I have such a righteous and domineering uncle like you?"

Xiao Jinyu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, "No, no, this is what I should do."

Shen Chuwei solemnly promised: "When the baby is born, I will give you more hugs."

Xiao Jinyu's eyebrows curved with joy, "Sister-in-law, this is what you said, you are not allowed to regret it."

Shen Chuwei said firmly and affirmatively: "No regrets, you can hold me as long as you want."

Xiao Jinyu chuckled twice.

Later, when Xiao Jinyu hugged her brother, he peed as soon as he was in his arms.

When I hugged my sister, I vomited milk all over him~

Chunxi thought of Qin Xiao still suffering in the prison, and she couldn't help asking, "Prince Yu, how is Qin Xiao?"

When Qin Xiao was mentioned, Xiao Jinyu was stunned for a moment, because he had forgotten about Qin Xiao. Seeing that Xiao Jinyu didn't say anything, Chunxi thought that something had happened to Qin Xiao. She asked in a trembling voice: "Did Qin Xiao suffer from the ten tortures..."

Chunxi choked up and couldn't continue.

Seeing Chunxi crying, Xiao Jinyu hurriedly explained: "I was in a hurry to see my sister-in-law, and I haven't taken care of Qin Xiao yet. I don't know what his current situation is."

Chunxi was not comforted by what he said, but burst into tears.

Shen Chuwei also began to worry, "Prince Yu, can you go into the prison to see Qin Xiao?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei lay on the couch, opened the cabinet door on the couch, took out the retractable handbag that she had prepared in advance, and stuffed it into Xiao Jinyu's arms. There were several kinds of medicine in the retractable bag.

"Take these medicines to Qin Xiao, just in case."

"Okay." Xiao Jinyu took a bag of medicine and turned away gracefully.

Xiao Jinyu came to the Tianlao. Because it was summer, the smell was a bit unpleasant. He opened his folding fan, covered his mouth and nose, and followed the jailer in.

The jailer saw that the person coming was Prince Yu, and he came forward with his hands clasped and his waist bowed, "Prince Yu, this is the Heavenly Prison. You are of noble status, why are you here?"

Xiao Jinyu asked in a deep voice: "Where is Qin Xiao?"

The prison boss said with a flattering smile: "That bastard Qin Xiao hasn't confessed yet. He was just tortured. He's in there."

Xiao Jinyu frowned: "Lead the way."

The jailer said respectfully, "Prince Yu, please follow me."

Xiao Jinyu followed the jailer all the way inside.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

There were all kinds of torture instruments inside, and you could smell a strong smell of blood.

In summer, there is a charcoal basin burning inside, making it feel like being in a big steamer.

Qin Xiao sat in the corner, his hair was disheveled and the clothes on his body could no longer be called clothes.

There was a puddle of water where he was, probably from the cold water that was poured on him after he fainted from the pain.

The jailer kicked Qin Xiao and yelled fiercely, "Get up quickly, Prince Yu is here to see you."

"Hiss!" Qin Xiao groaned, slowly raised his head, and saw Xiao Jinyu.

Before he could open his mouth, Xiao Jinyu kicked the prison boss in front of him away.

"Bang!" The prison boss' body hit the wall and he grimaced in pain.

Xiao Jinyu's eyes were cold: "Do you really need to talk nonsense in front of this king?"

The prison boss came over and said, "Yes, yes, I was the one who said too much."

Xiao Jinyu said coldly: "Why don't you get out?"

"I'll withdraw now." The jailer crawled out again.

After everyone left, Xiao Jinyu took two quick steps to Qin Xiao and looked at his disheveled appearance, which no longer showed his former high spirits.

"Qin Xiao, how do you feel?"

"Lord Yu, I'm fine." He hadn't drunk a drop of water for a whole day and night, and his throat was dry and hoarse.

"You don't look like you're okay, do you?" Xiao Jinyu looked Qin Xiao up and down, wanting to take him to take a shower, change clothes, and apply some medicine.

But the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so he can't take Qin Xiao away.

Qin Xiao asked with difficulty: "How is Shen Liangdi?"

Xiao Jinyu said, "Don't worry, Shen Liang Di. I'm here and I won't let my father touch a hair on her head."

Qin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Xiao Jinyu took out a bottle of water from his arms. It was given to him by Shen Chuwei and was called something like glucose.

"Drink some water first."

Qin Xiao was very thirsty at the moment, so he opened his mouth and drank, finishing the whole bottle of glucose.

Then, Xiao Jinyu gave him a few pieces of chocolate, saying that they could quickly replenish his energy.

Qin Xiao was extremely hungry at the moment, and he didn't mind that the thing was too sweet. He ate several pieces and then drank some water.

Xiao Jinyu took out some medicine and applied powder on his wounds to stop the bleeding and heal them quickly.

"Just hold on for now, my brother will be back soon."

Qin Xiao had regained some strength now. "Don't worry about me. Even if I die, I will not let Shen Liang Di suffer this injustice."

Xiao Jinyu was somewhat relieved, "You have to hold on. Shen Liangdi doesn't want anything to happen to you. And Chunxi cried like a tearful person when she heard that you were being tortured."

Qin Xiao was stunned when he heard this, "Really?"

Xiao Jinyu said affirmatively: "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Qin Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth, but ended up grimacing in pain.

Xiao Jinyu stuffed the telescopic bag in her hand into Qin Xiao's arms, "Keep these things, just in case."

Xiao Jinyu walked out, glanced at the people at the table, and warned: "The emperor wants the truth, not a confession under torture. If you fail to live up to the emperor's command, you will be punished."

The jailer nodded and trembled, "I understand."

Only then did Xiao Jinyu leave with satisfaction.

At this time, on the wide official road, several horses were galloping towards the capital, raising a cloud of dust as they passed by.

The one running in the front is Crown Prince Xiao Jinyan!
