Empress Sun patted her hand, and the two of them talked and disappeared into the dusk.
The night was getting darker and the Shen Mansion was quiet.
Mu Yun'an rested early after dinner. In a daze, she felt someone poking her face.
She reached out and slapped the man's hand away with some displeasure, but she didn't even open her eyelids.
The next moment, the corner of her lip was bitten, and Mu Yun'an woke up in pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw a blurry figure in the darkness, with a dangerous aura about him.
Mu Yunan trembled, stretched out his arms to hug the man, and shouted in a soft voice: "Brother Yi, you are back."
Xiao Chengyi snorted, reached out and pinched her little face and said, "You are heartless. I have been imprisoned, but you can still sleep. It shows that you are not worried about me at all."
He was afraid that Yan Yan would be worried, so he hurried back and unexpectedly saw her sleeping soundly.
Mu Yunan pouted and said, "What do I have to worry about? If you don't want to, who can lock you up?"
In fact, she had already guessed that Xiao Chengyi must have done it on purpose, so she was not worried about his safety at all.
She even guessed that he would definitely come to see her, but they had been traveling for the past few days and she was a little tired and went to bed early.
Xiao Chengyi suddenly lost his temper after hearing her words. He smiled helplessly and said, "How about you try to pretend?"
He rushed back in a hurry and saw her sleeping soundly, but she thought how angry he was. Even if she knew he was safe, couldn't she just pretend?
When Mu Yun'an heard what he said, she immediately got into drama, hugged him and started crying: "Brother Yi, you scared me to death. Do you know how worried I am about you? I don't even think about food and drink for you. I can’t sleep at night.”
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He was really angry and funny. This little girl was really getting bolder and bolder, but he had nothing to do. After all, he was used to it.
Mu Yunan asked him twitchingly: "Are you feeling comfortable now?"
Xiao Chengyi held her in his arms and said through gritted teeth: "Little ancestor, I'm really afraid of you."
Mu Yun'an chuckled, she put her arms around his neck and leaned into his ear and said, "I knew you would come to see me, so I did it on purpose."
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved: "Are you angry with me again? Because I didn't tell you in advance?"
Mu Yun'an snorted and said: "If you say you won't hide it from me, you are not going your own way. Your words are simply not credible."
Xiao Chengyi's head grew bigger again, and he explained: "I didn't mean it, and I didn't know that uncle wanted to arrest me."
Mu Yun'an was shocked: "His Majesty really doubts you? But didn't you write a letter and tell him the truth?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "I wrote a letter and told him, but I didn't expect the person behind the scenes to act so quickly and want to kill me as soon as he entered Beijing."
Before he returned to Beijing, he wrote a secret letter and asked the secret guard to give it to His Majesty. Therefore, His Majesty already knew the true situation of Fengdu. However, the other party pressed harder and harder to convict him, so His Majesty pushed him to jail.
His uncle had been an emperor for more than twenty years, how could he be fooled so easily?
So everything today is actually just a game that their nephew and uncle jointly made, but this game was not discussed in advance.
Mu Yun'an understood what he meant: "In other words, you didn't know beforehand that you were going to jail. Was it His Majesty's idea? Do you want to use this to lure out the person behind the scenes?"
Xiao Chengyi responded: "Yes, my uncle is also a smart man. Only by putting me in jail can the people behind the scenes be exposed."
Mu Yun'an nodded: "So that's the case. In fact, Wen Qiyu also guessed today that your imprisonment was probably voluntary, so we are not worried."
