Xia Qingtian and his son were locked up in the innermost cell. Although the cell was far less comfortable than the one Murong Xitian and Xia Ziluo lived in last time, it was still far better than other felons.
They don't have to sleep on moldy straw, cold and damp floors, but have beds that are not luxurious but covered with thick quilts; there are no snakes, insects, rats, or ants in the cells, and the floor is clean and tidy; the food is not cold or rancid, and it doesn't get sour every day.
Three meals of white rice and vegetarian dishes are quite light.
When Xia Ziluo arrived, Xia Ziyan was squeezing Xia Qingtian's legs.
Although Murong Xitian had treated them leniently, the humidity in the prison was heavy and there wasn't much sunlight. Xia Qingtian's body couldn't bear it, and all the bones in his body were sore.
"Dad, when the emperor decides to let him go, he will go out and find a place with warm weather all year round to spend his old age." Xia Ziyan didn't know that today was the day when they would be interrogated, so he thoughtlessly imagined the future for Xia Qingtian.
.
Xia Qingtian wanted to laugh but couldn't. How could he have a future?
In the past few days, the number of guards who had been guarding had suddenly changed, and the number of guards had increased a lot, and all of them looked fierce. He then guessed that his time had come. He wanted to behead, which was what happened in the past few days.
"Son, I'm afraid dad won't be able to get out, but you are different. The emperor has promised dad that he will spare your life. When you get out, don't think about avenging dad, and don't go looking for your sister. Go alone.
Let's live a peaceful life in a place where we don't even know." When people are about to die, they also speak well, and Xia Qingtian finally saw through it.
So what if you live a prosperous life? Who is not going to die? What can you take with you when you die?
It's better to be happy while alive and cherish what you have. It's a pity that he was imprisoned for so many days before he figured it out and was willing to let go of everything in the past.
"Dad..." Xia Ziyan choked and was speechless.
Before reaching the cell, Xia Ziluo, who heard the conversation between their father and son, also had red eyes and choked up: "Dad, brother..."
She walked a few steps quickly and arrived in front of the cell door. She looked at Xia Qingtian and Xia Ziyan inside through the heavily locked door.
In just a few days, Xia Qingtian lost weight, and the redness on his face had long since disappeared, leaving him pale. Although Xia Ziyan's injury was mostly healed after seeing the imperial doctor and taking medicine, his complexion was not very good, and his hair was messy.
Yes, very decadent.
When she called out, the father and son in the cell were stunned at the same time, and then they sat up in shock.
"Daughter..." Xia Qingtian burst into tears when he saw Xia Ziluo, "Okay, come to see dad? He can see his daughter for the last time before he dies. Dad is satisfied and contented."
When Xia Ziyan saw Xia Ziluo, he rubbed his red eyes: "Sister, dad...brother, please, please, the humidity and darkness in the prison are too damp and dark, and dad's body can't stand it, and he has lost a lot of weight in just a few days..."
"
"Yes, I know." Xia Ziluo looked at the several locks in front of him and looked back at Murong Xitian anxiously.
Murong Xitian held her in his arms and touched her head: "Don't worry, didn't we agree not to cry? Someone, please open the lock."
"No." The guard guard immediately took the keys and opened the locks one by one.
Xia Ziluo couldn't wait to rush in. He looked at Xia Qingtian and then at Xia Ziyan. Tears were about to fall from his eye sockets: "Dad, brother... I'm here to see you."
With that said, she hurriedly called Ju Qing and Xiu Xiu to bring the food and put it on the table.
