Dusk was approaching, Xiao Chengyi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the sunset outside.
Mu Yun'an walked over and held his hand and asked, "Brother Yi, are you worried about Ye Xiuchen?"
Xiao Chengyi looked at her and said: "Since he met me, he has never had a peaceful life. He either accompanied me from birth to death, or worked hard for me, and he never complained."
Mu Yunan felt a little sad when he heard this. They found the place where Chu Chu was being held that day, but they arrived a step too late. Ye Xiuchen was taken away by Han Qiancheng, so they only rescued Chu Chu and Yan Jingxuan.
When leaving, they saw Ye Xiuchen tied to a pillar by Han Qiancheng, with injuries all over his body. This scene also angered Xiao Chengyi.
Since returning, he has been taciturn.
Mu Yun'an knew that he was blaming himself and feeling guilty. Seeing him like this made her feel very uncomfortable.
She stretched out her arms and hugged Xiao Chengyi and said, "Brother Yi, Ye Xiuchen won't blame you, and you shouldn't blame yourself, okay?"
Xiao Chengyi hugged her tightly silently, calming the thoughts in his heart.
Not long after, I heard Qingying's voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen wants to see you."
Mu Yunan let go of Xiao Chengyi and asked curiously: "Who is Mr. Shen?"
Mu Yun'an then remembered that the Han family also had an illegitimate son who was the owner of the Mingyue Tower of the Juesha Sect. She had also had a relationship with this man.
Xiao Chengyi calmed down and his expression returned to its original state. He said to the people outside the door: "Let him in."
After saying that, he took Mu Yun'an's hand and sat down at the table. He heard a creak, the door was pushed open, and a man strode in.
Mu Yun'an raised his head and looked at the man, and saw that he was very handsome, with a hint of coldness in his eyebrows. His bamboo green brocade robe was stained with wind and frost, and he looked like he had come here in a hurry.
But as soon as he came in, he lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground and said, "I have met the regent."
Xiao Chengyi looked at him with a raised eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"
Shen Zhixu said: "Sorry, I didn't stop Han Qiancheng when he escaped, so I let him go privately.
And I couldn't keep Han Qianyu, and let her escape from the Jue Kill Gate, which caused today's disaster. These are all my faults, and I ask the prince to punish her."
Xiao Chengyi stretched out his hand to help him up and said: "It was not wrong for you to do what you did in the first place. This matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to blame yourself."
Shen Zhixu said: "How come it doesn't matter? It was my benevolence that caused such consequences. I came here immediately after I got the news. I don't know what the situation is now?"
Xiao Chengyi said in a deep voice: "Ye Xiuchen is still in Han Qiancheng's hands, and Feng Changling is also there. I'm not worried about Changling.
I'm very worried about Ye Xiuchen now. Han Qiancheng tortured him that day to force me to show up. I don't know what the situation is like?"
"What?"
Shen Zhixu looked shocked. He held his hands tightly and said with a deep look in his eyes: "I will rescue Ye Xiuchen."
As he said that, he turned around and left.
Xiao Chengyi stopped him and said: "How are you going to save me? Do you think Han Qiancheng will recognize you as my elder brother? Give you face?"
He is now blinded by hatred and will not give face to anyone. If you go, you will only become his hostage."
Shen Zhixu said: "Ye Xiuchen is my savior, I am willing to trade my life for his.
If Han Qiancheng doesn't let him go, the prince will definitely be controlled by others. Although I am not sure that I can convince Han Qiancheng, I still want to give it a try.
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, Your Majesty does not have to worry about my life or death, this is a matter between me and the Han family, and I hope that Your Majesty will make it happen."
