The implication of her words was very clear, she didn't want his hands to taint her.
Xiong Batian obeyed her words. He found a clever little girl to help her, and he led a few servants to lead the way.
Covered in black cloth, Su Muer looked like a blind person, letting someone help her move forward. She wanted to look out through the curtain, but she couldn't see anything at all.
She was about to see Ye Shihan, her heart was in her throat, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
They walked for a long time, and the Laiyang Palace was really big and scary.
Finally, in front of a courtyard, Xiong Batian stepped forward in person and took off the black cloth from her face.
The black cloth was taken off, and a courtyard with a black gate appeared in front of her. There were four solemn servants guarding the door.
Xiong Batian waved his hand, and the four men bent down and saluted, then stepped forward and opened the copper lock on the black iron door, revealing a dark underground passage.
Xiong Batian stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Su, please come in."
Su Muer's heart was beating fast. The more she wanted to see him, the tighter her heart became.
Xiong Batian led the way, Su Muer followed behind, and the rest of the people were waiting outside.
This is a dark and damp dungeon. At first glance, it gives people an eerie feeling.
"Master."
The guard guarding the cell door bowed and saluted. Xiong Batian nodded, "Yes."
Su Mu'er scanned for a week and saw no one, but she saw another black iron door directly in front of her.
Xiong Batian pointed at the iron door, and the gatekeeper hurried forward and opened the lock. Below, there was still a dark corridor.
He pointed down,
"Go ahead, they're down there."
Su Muer's eyes were staring straight there, but her legs felt like lead.
She wanted to run away urgently, but she was afraid of seeing him suffering and couldn't bear it.
After passing this door, there were long steps below. She walked down step by step, feeling like her heart was piercing each step.
When she reached the end, there were rows of cages below. She saw a person curled up like a dog in the cage next to the door.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she was afraid to see Ye Shihan like this.
She raised her feet and looked from cage to cage until she reached the fifth door and saw a familiar figure.
At this time, Ye Shihan was seriously injured, and the blood all over his body had dried up. He was lying in a corner. How could he still have the demeanor of His Majesty the Seventh Prince in the past?
"Ye Shihan?"
Su Mu'er called softly.
The man lying down moved. He felt that he must be dreaming, so he continued to close his eyes, hoping to make this dream last longer.
"Ye Shihan?"
Her call was mixed with sobs. This time Ye Shihan heard it clearly. He hurriedly looked up at the door. Through the dark cage, he saw Su Muer's familiar face, and he instantly became nervous.
"Mu'er? Why are you here?"
His voice was weak, like a mosquito's chirping, but Su Mu'er heard it clearly.
The prison guard who was following her stepped forward to open the door, bowed to her and said:
"Miss, the young master has told me that you cannot delay for too long."
Su Muer ignored him, but rushed over as soon as the door opened.
"Ye Shihan?"
She couldn't control herself anymore. She wanted to hug him, but found that she couldn't. His clothes were in tatters and no part of his skin was intact.
She raised her hand and wiped it on his face,
"Ye Shihan..."
"Mu'er, is it you?"
He couldn't believe that he could still see her, so he closed his eyes hard and opened them again.
"It's me, Shihan, it's me."
She touched his pale face with trembling hands, tears falling down her cheeks in large drops.
"They are so cruel, why do they torture you like this?"
It was the first time that she felt sorry for him like this. He had always been taking care of her. She never thought that he, who had always been arrogant, would encounter such a thing.
It's all my fault. If I hadn't left rashly, he wouldn't have followed. If he hadn't come, none of this would have happened.
Thinking of this, she held him tightly in her arms and kept murmuring,
"Ye Shihan, I'm sorry, I hurt you, I'm sorry."
"Mu'er..."
He raised his pale hand vigorously, touched her face, and wiped away the tears on her face.
He forced a gentle smile on her face,
"You...why are you here? How...how did they let you in?"
Su Muer shook her head vigorously, tears falling on his face. How could she tell him the truth? Wouldn't that be crueler than killing him?
Everything doesn't matter now, even if he goes to marry the princess of Qingcheng Kingdom, even if she leaves him, it doesn't matter. She just wants him to live. He lives like before, that's what she wants to see most.
She leaned down and kissed him gently on the forehead, "I missed you, so I came to see you."
Hearing this, he suddenly grinned, with blood stains on his mouth and teeth.
"It's...so nice. This is...the first time you've said you miss me. I...I'm so happy."
He opened his weak eyes and looked at her, his eyes filled with tears.
He wanted to raise his hand to touch her, but she quickly held his hand tightly.
"Shihan, I'm sorry. If I hadn't come here willfully and offended the Xiong family by meddling in other people's business, you wouldn't be like this. I'm sorry."
Ye Shihan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No matter what you say, no matter where Su Muer goes, I, Ye Shihan, will follow you. I don't regret anything that happens. I just want to see you every day."
He almost used all his strength to say this.
However, Su Mu'er couldn't help crying anymore, and she hugged his head tightly.
At this time, the prison guard came to urge him.
"Miss Su, the time has come."
"No."
She pulled him tightly, and he also pulled her hand hard, "Mu'er, take care of yourself and Doudou. I can't be with you in the future. I'm sorry..."
His voice was hoarse and slurred.
"You'll be fine, you'll be fine."
She hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
At this time, Xiong Baqian, who was already impatient with waiting, rushed in. When he saw this scene, his eyes suddenly burst out with fire.
He stepped forward, raised his hand, pulled Ye Shihan up and threw him aside, and then held Su Muer's hand tightly.
"Come with me."
"Let me go."
She tried to shake him off hard, but she couldn't.
Ye Shihan struggled to get up and stretched out his hand to her, "Mu'er, don't leave."
Su Muer also wanted to reach out to pull him, but she was restrained by Xiong Batian and dragged out of the door.
When Bai Chen, Shi Ziqiang and Liu Hai in the other cells saw this scene, they all got up and lay down at the cell door to look out.
Their eyes were all filled with tears.
"Ye Shihan..."
Su Muer desperately wanted to return to him. The more she did this, the angrier Xiong Batian became.
He suddenly clamped her chin forcefully, gritted his teeth and stared at her,
"If you still want to save them, be honest, otherwise, I will kill him now."
He pointed at Ye Shihan, who was lying there struggling, and Su Muer suddenly became quiet.
"Mu'er, I'm not afraid of death. Don't promise him anything. Don't promise him."
