At this moment, Hao Chuan really wanted to raise his hand and touch Shen Kuo's face again.

But in the end he did not reach out his hand, but just clenched the piece of cloth tightly, his fingertips turning slightly white.

"Kuoer..."

He had just opened his mouth when suddenly...

"Wow..."

The sound of chains at the entrance to the prison rang out again, breaking the brief silence between the two.

Then, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and was particularly clear in the silent prison.

Shen Kuo turned his head and looked, and soon, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Wei Jiuzhao.

He did not show any surprise at Hao Chuan's appearance, as if he had known that Hao Chuan would be here.

His eyes lingered between the two of them for a moment, and he slowly curled his lips, his voice light and a little playful.

"Mr. Hao, you are so free."

"What are you doing in the prison in the middle of the night?"

Hao Chuan's eyes darkened slightly, he hid the strip of cloth in his hand into his arms, and replied slowly.

"Asking knowingly."

"To see Kuoer, of course."

"Kuor?"

Wei Jiuzhao's eyes darkened, like a beast whose tail was stepped on.

"You can call him Kuo'er?"

There was clear displeasure in his eyes.

Just as Hao Chuan was about to speak again, Shen Kuo from inside the cell door interrupted their verbal sparring.

"You two, go now."

"I'm tired and want to rest."

Wei Jiuzhao's eyes changed instantly. His eyes, which were originally as sharp as a lion's, now looked like a docile kitten, with a flattering look.

"Kuoer..."

He shouted softly, his tone sounding extremely aggrieved.

Hao Chuan glanced at him, then looked at Shen Kuo and pursed his lips.

"That……"

"Then I'll go first."

"You have a good rest and I'll come see you again."

Shen Kuo smiled slightly and nodded gently.

Hao Chuan didn't say anything more and turned and left.

Wei Jiuzhao watched him leave until his figure completely disappeared into the darkness, then he slowly withdrew his gaze and muttered something with a look of disgust.

"It's really annoying."

But then, he looked at Shen Kuo again, and the impatience on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an extremely flattering expression.

"Ku'er, wait a little longer, you can go out in a few days."

"Then I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"Eat whatever you want."

“Eat as much as you want…”

He bent down, holding onto the cell door with both hands, his voice was so soft that water could drip out of it, and the ending of his voice rose unconsciously, like a big, coquettish dog.

Shen Kuo returned to the straw mat and ignored him.

Seeing this, Wei Jiuzhao was neither anxious nor annoyed. He leaned against the prison door, supported his head with his hands, and muttered softly.

"Kuor?"

"Didn't you hear me clearly?"

"I'm tired."

"You go."

Wei Jiuzhao rubbed his nose, like a disliked child, raised his wet eyes and looked at him with a stubborn tone.

"I do not."

"I do not go."

This person is such a scoundrel.

There is no doubt that Hao Chuan and Wei Jiuzhao both like Shen Kuo.

But they have completely different personalities.

Hao Chuan is calm and patient, willing to give in, and willing to offer warmth to Shen Kuo in his difficult times.

Wei Jiuzhao was just the opposite.

He is a mad dog, a wolf, and a beast.

They will always hold on to their prey and refuse to let go, even at the risk of their lives, in order to hold on to the person tightly.

And Shen Kuo's twisted and coy character finally redeemed himself...

It can only be Wei Jiuzhao.

Shen Kuo didn't look at Wei Jiuzhao and slowly closed his eyes.

During the days in the Heavenly Prison, the letters in the secret compartment of Wei Jiuzhao's study kept appearing in his mind uncontrollably.

Those words, those contents, were like a rusty knife, cutting his wounds over and over again.

The anger of being deceived, the shame of being toyed with, the pain of being pierced, all turned into invisible blades, cutting into him fiercely.

He couldn't forgive.

But at this moment, he didn't even have the energy to argue.

I'm even too lazy to curse.

Wei Jiuzhao was still clinging to the prison door, looking down at him, his tone brisk, as if nothing had happened.

"My restaurant has a few new dishes, all of which you like."

"The big yellow dog in the mansion has become a mother and has given birth to six puppies, waiting for you to name them."

"By the way, Kuo'er, I met an old fortune teller a few days ago, and I asked about my marriage fate—"

"What do you think he said?"

Shen Kuo finally opened his eyes, glanced at him indifferently, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"I'm really tired."

"Can you please stop bothering me?"

Wei Jiuzhao tilted his head, with the smile on his face unchanged.

"Then you go to sleep, I'll stay here to watch over you."

Shen Kuo frowned and his voice became a little colder.

"Are you a dog? Why are you guarding me?"

Wei Jiuzhao responded as a matter of course.

"If you are my master, I am willing to be your dog."

Shen Kuo: “…”

This guy is so shameless that there is nothing to say.

Forget it, whatever.

"Ku'er, I'll take you home in a few days."

"Go back to our home."

"OK?"

Shen Kuo sneered.

"Wei Jiuzhao, are you worthy?"

Wei Jiuzhao paused.

After a while, he laughed softly.

"I do not deserve."

"But Kuo'er, you have to know."

"Even if I die, I won't let you go."

Shen Kuo was extremely annoyed, so he simply turned around, facing the wall, not wanting to bother with Wei Jiuzhao anymore.

Wei Jiuzhao was not angry. He just squatted at the prison door with a lazy posture, like a loyal big dog guarding the house.

But another thought was surging in his mind - he really, really, really wanted to kill Hao Chuan...

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, light footsteps were heard outside the prison.

Wei Jiuzhao raised his eyes slightly and saw that it was his guard. He casually brushed the corner of his clothes and waited for the other party to speak.

The guard came closer, squatted down, and said something to Wei Jiuzhao in a low voice.

Wei Jiuzhao raised his eyebrows and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Zhou Hui is also very impressive."

"He pretended to perform a ritual to exorcise evil spirits, but he actually exorcised the King of Xiang's men."

The guard nodded.

"I don't know what happened exactly."

"But now the imperial guards are bringing an unknown abbot to the prison, so the master should leave first."

Wei Jiuzhao turned his head and looked at Shen Kuo's back with a look of reluctance in his eyes.

"I don't want to leave."

"I can't bear to leave my Kuoer..."

The guard lowered his head, trying to pretend he heard nothing, but he couldn't help wailing in his heart.

——Master, could you please not be like this?

Wei Jiuzhao still stared at Shen Kuo with a tender tone.

"Kuor?"

Shen Kuo said nothing.

"I'm leaving now. Wait for me to pick you up."

"OK?"

Shen Kuo finally took action and shook his head slightly.

"roll."

Wei Jiuzhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes, as if he had gained some kind of satisfaction.

"Yes, I'll leave now."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

-

This night is destined to be restless.

Just as paper money was flying in the Yangxin Palace, Empress Dowager Shouren secretly summoned Tong Jiasuo.
