The prison was dark and gloomy, filled with a foul smell mixed with blood.

As soon as the two of them slipped into the sky prison, they heard bursts of crying.

"My Lord, what is going on?

We were clearly living a good life, how come overnight the prince is no longer the emperor's biological son and has become a commoner?"

A charming woman in the prison was crying to the man in the next cell.

The man was Shangguan Yi who was deposed today.

At this time, another voice said: "My Lord, what should we do in the future?"

Shangguan Yi was upset by the noise and was also confused. How could he know what was going on?

With a strong sense of unwillingness filling his entire body, he shouted, "Someone, someone, someone, someone, I want to see my father, I want to ask him questions clearly."

The prison boss was extremely annoyed after listening to this group of women quarreling for the entire afternoon.

Hearing Shangguan Yi's shout, he walked up to him and said coldly:

“You still think you’re a prince, but the emperor’s decree clearly states that you’re just an impostor.

Your wicked parents repaid kindness with enmity by replacing the prince with a cat, causing the true prince of Great Xia to be exiled to another country and suffer torture.

The emperor is kind and is willing to send you back to your biological parents in Dasheng.

Eunuch Li has said that the emperor will not see you again. When you return to Dasheng and meet your biological parents, you will know the truth. "

Shangguan Yi had never been humiliated like this before, but thinking about his current situation, he suppressed his anger and said kindly:

"Could you please inform him again and tell him that I have something important to report."

Before the jailer could answer, footsteps were heard in the cell again.

Then the voices of the yamen runners were heard: "Greetings, Lord Shangshu."

The Shangshu walked into the cell, glanced around, and finally fell on his daughter Mu Meilan who was sitting quietly in the corner of the cell. At this moment, she hugged her daughter and leaned against the wall, closed her eyes and rested, without saying a word.

The Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was safe. Before he could say anything, he heard the sound of chains being dragged.

When Shangguan Yi saw the Shangshu, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. He quickly approached and said hurriedly:

"Father-in-law, I, Shangguan Yi, believe that I have never done anything to let Da Xia down.

Now that something unexpected has happened, I hope my father-in-law can inform my father, the emperor, that I want to see him."

The Shangshu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Shangguan Yi, it's too late to say more. Since the emperor has issued an imperial decree, he must have his reasons. You should just follow his instructions and return to Dasheng."

Shangguan Yi gritted his teeth.

"Sir, I just want to know the truth of the matter. I hope you can let me meet my father and ask him in person."

The Shangshu thought for a moment and sighed:

"The jailer just told you that the emperor is heartbroken about his own son being abused by your parents, so he won't see you."

After hearing this, Shangguan Yi looked depressed. He looked at the Shangshu and asked, "What is the purpose of your visit, father-in-law?"

Minister Mu glanced at Shangguan Yi, said nothing, and walked straight to his daughter's cell.

When Mu Meilan saw her father, she felt sad. The child had gone through a sudden change and was tired from crying, so she just fell asleep.

She helped the child to lean against the wall, stood up and saluted to his father, saying:

"Father, it's late, why are you in prison?"

Minister Mu supported his daughter's shoulders across the bars of the cell and said:

"Daddy was worried about you, so he went to ask the emperor for help. The emperor promised that you and the child can stay. Wake up the child and we will go home."

Mu Meilan's eyes lit up, she smiled and confirmed, "Dad, is this true?"

"It is absolutely true. I have brought the emperor's decree granting the divorce."

When Shangguan Yi heard that his father had allowed the divorce and his wife could leave the prison, he immediately grabbed the prison bars tightly, his eyes filled with resentment and pain.

He shouted, "Lan'er, I don't agree to divorce."

Minister Mu looked at Shangguan Yi and said coldly:

“If you hadn’t planned to rescue my daughter from the water and ruined her reputation, I wouldn’t have married my daughter to the royal family, to you.

All the past events were helpless.

Now, he turns out to be a fake prince. From now on, if you want to go back to Dasheng, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and I am afraid you will never be able to come back in your lifetime.

My daughter can't go to Dasheng with you. She will be far away from our family."

As he said this, he turned around and said to the jailer, "The emperor has issued an order to allow Shangguan Yi and my daughter to divorce, and the child can live with her mother."

The jailer took the imperial edict and read it, then released the prisoner immediately.

After releasing the people, the three prepared to leave.

Shangguan Yi quickly said, "Father-in-law, I also have feelings for Lan'er... Please give me another chance."

A trace of disgust flashed in Mu Meilan's eyes. She looked at Shangguan Yi with a cold voice.

"Shangguan Yi, there is no love between you and me, why force it? Now that our marriage is over, you can go back to Dasheng with peace of mind!"

After that, she woke her daughter up and said, "Qingdai, we can go home now. You won't have the chance to see your father again, so go and say goodbye to your father."

Shangguan Qingdai, with red and swollen eyes, stood up and said happily:

"Mother, can we really leave now? That's great! Why can't father go with us?"

Mu Meilan reminded: "Daier, your father is no longer a prince. You can no longer call him father and mother, understand? Your father has to go back to Dasheng and can't go with us."

Shangguan Qingdai pouted unhappily and said, "I know!"

After saying this, Shangguan Qingdai knelt down in front of Shangguan Yi, kowtowed, and said, "My child Qingdai, I bid you farewell. Father, please take care of yourself and have a safe journey!"

Shangguan Yi looked at his daughter, feeling sad. Why did his once smooth and brilliant life suddenly fall to the bottom?

It was obvious that his plan was about to succeed. In half a year, he would be able to dominate Da Xia and become the master of Da Xia.

I can't admit defeat. I still have many hidden cards in my hand. As long as I use them properly, I can still make a comeback.

Although the process is longer and things are more difficult, it doesn’t matter. We have waited for more than 30 years, so why wait a few more years?

"Dai'er, go back with your mother. When Dad arrives in Dasheng, he will write to you often. Remember to tell Dad if there is anything."

"Yes, my daughter will remember it." Shangguan Qingdai said crying.

"Let's go."

Shangguan Yi then asked Mu Meilan, "Lan'er, I hope you can agree to let the child exchange letters with me, okay?"

"Okay." Mu Meilan replied.

After saying that, Lan'er turned and looked at the Shangshu, her eyes full of determination.

"Dad, let's go."

The Shangshu looked at his daughter, and although he felt a little distressed, he still nodded.

Lan'er resolutely followed the Shangshu out of the Heavenly Prison and never looked back at Shangguan Yi.
