Zhao Yuan left everyone outside the dungeon and entered the prison alone. However, when he went down to the bottom of the dungeon, he found another person standing in the dark, so he alertly asked: "Who is that person?"
When Chen Shaoxuan heard him ask, he lowered his voice and said, "Reporting to Young Master Yuan, I just heard some noise outside and was worried that something might happen, so I came down to investigate."
After listening to his explanation, Zhao Yuan not only did not let him leave again, but took two steps closer to him, wanting to take a closer look at Chen Shaoxuan's face. Chen Shaoxuan's heart thumped, and he unconsciously buried his head lower.
Some.
The closer he walked toward Chen Shaoxuan, the more Zhao Yuan felt that Chen Shaoxuan's figure was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
This dungeon is not big, and the echo is still loud. The slightest movement can be heard clearly. Therefore, since Zhao Yuan made a sound, Leng Changxi in the prison knew it. But she did not do it because of Zhao Yuan.
Although he was happy about Yuan's arrival, he was more worried about Chen Shaoxuan. If Chen Shaoxuan's identity was revealed here, he would be tainted even if his grievances were not cleared up.
In desperation, Leng Changxi came to her senses and shouted loudly: "What are you doing here? Let's go. If you don't believe me, don't come!"
Hearing Leng Changxi's cry, Zhao Yuan felt a faint movement in his heart and stopped approaching Chen Shaoxuan. A look of pain flashed across his face.
Zhao Yuan turned on his heels and walked in. He waved his hand and said: "Get out!".
Chen Shaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked out of the dungeon. Fortunately, the light of the dim torch in the dungeon shone faintly on Chen Shaoxuan's face, making it difficult for Zhao Yuan to see his face clearly. Otherwise, what happened today would have been terrible.
It's really a big deal.
Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps, Leng Changxi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Chen Shaoxuan had escaped safely.
She secretly hid the vest-like clothes that Chen Shaoxuan gave her in the straw in the corner, and then sat on the straw, covering up the clothes completely.
Zhao Yuan stood at the door of Leng Changxi's cell, looking at her tired look through the window on the door, and felt a throbbing pain in his heart. How long had this woman he had cared for since childhood been treated like this?
Seeing her clearly knowing that she was outside the door, she still stubbornly turned her face to one side. Zhao Yuan felt mixed emotions in her heart. After a long time, she sighed and called out shakily: "Little Bao'er..."
This call made Leng Changxi move, and all her grievances suddenly poured out. A drop of crystal fell from the corner of her eyes, but she stubbornly did not speak.
Zhao Yuan looked distressed, frowning, his hands slightly bent, the veins on the back of his hands bulging: "Little Bao'er, I, you..."
For a moment, he really didn't know what to say. Looking at her body shivering due to the cold, and her lips that were a little black from the cold, Zhao Yuan's heart twitched again.
He hurriedly took off his coat, handed it into the cell, and held it in his hand from a distance: "Little Bao'er, put it on first."
Leng Changxi felt even more bitter because of his words. She pretended to be strong and broke the embankment. Instead of answering, she hugged her legs and cried "Wow", as if she wanted to pour out all the hesitation and grievances in her heart.
generally.
Seeing that she was crying so sadly, Zhao Yuan immediately had no idea, so he quickly ordered someone to take out the key to the cell, opened the door, and ran to her in three steps at a time. After a pause, he hesitated and held her in front of her.
Hold him in his arms.
The embrace that Leng Changxi had always longed for was still gentle, but there seemed to be something different about it, and it no longer allowed her to lean into it with complete peace of mind as before.
She struggled a little, but Zhao Yuan's arms seemed to tighten a bit. With no choice, she could only bury her head in his chest and sob.
Zhao Yuan hugged her cold body, his heart ached, and he hurriedly wrapped her thin body with his shirt. Looking at her crying face, he felt complicated in his heart, and the image of King Xi's tragic death flashed before his eyes.
, he couldn't help but froze for half a minute. Then, the arms holding him tightened a little more, as if he wanted to rub her into his arms.
"Little Bao'er, what should I do with you? Tell me, what should I do?" Zhao Yuan murmured, with despair, hesitation, sadness and pain in his voice. Listening to Leng Changxi
I actually felt a bit of pain in my ears.
Leng Changxi stopped sobbing, and a hint of bitterness bloomed on her lips: "Brother Yuan, you still don't believe me, do you?"
Zhao Yuan didn't answer, and his body just stiffened for a few minutes. But just a few seconds, Leng Changxi's heart was completely chilled.
She pushed Zhao Yuan away and said softly: "Brother Yuan, let's go!"
"Little Bao'er!" Zhao Yuan was shocked when he heard the voice.
"You can do whatever you want." There was no joy in Leng Changxi's tone, but it made Zhao Yuan feel unparalleledly suffocated.
"Xiao Bao'er, I, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just..." Zhao Yuan became a little flustered in her heart. She couldn't find the words to defend herself for a while, so she finally had to sigh and vowed: "Xiao Bao'er, you
Don’t worry, I will definitely handle this matter.”
Deal with it? Not to help her find out the truth, but to deal with it. It turns out that Zhao Yuan is still sure that she was the one who administered the drug.
Leng Changxi remained silent. Zhao Yuan thought she had accepted his suggestion. While he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart ached even more.
Seeing Leng Changxi like this, he hesitated to speak. He held a question in his heart for a long time, and Zhao Yuan finally couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Xiao Bao'er, tell me the truth, why did you do this?
"
Leng Changxi's body trembled slightly because of these words.
Silence broke out in silence, Zhao Yuan became more and more panicked, and a bad premonition arose from the bottom of his heart.
I don't know how much time passed before Leng Changxi slowly opened her mouth and asked Feng Qingyun calmly: "Brother Yuan, let me ask you one last time, do you really not believe that I was framed?"
Leng Changxi's voice was ethereal, as if she could not catch him even if she was dazed, which moved Zhao Yuan: "Are you really sure that you have been framed?"
Seeing her persistence, Zhao Yuan felt a sense of expectation rising in his heart.
"After so many years of getting along, your trust in me is still not worth a frame-up?" Leng Changxi said with a bitter self-mockery on her lips.
"Little Bao'er..." Zhao Yuan felt a little ashamed when she said that.
"Since I was little, I have been your favorite. Although I am more willful and naughty, when have I ever made fun of someone else's life?" Leng Changxi's voice gently struck Zhao Yuan's heart, shocking him.
Gradually, his heart that was blinded by sadness began to slowly clear up: "But who dares to frame you?"
"If I knew, could I still let her frame me?" Leng Changxi's voice was filled with a hint of ridicule.
Zhao Yuan was still hesitant about Leng Changxi's words. He struggled a little, thought for a while, and then slowly said: "If this is really the case, I will definitely clear your name."
