After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Yan Xiaosheng vaguely felt that something had happened to Xu Feng, so he refused to stay at home and planned to travel thousands of miles to Beijing to find him despite his still-weak body.

I cannot use magic in the mortal world, so I have to walk step by step.

This journey lasted for more than ten days.

After arriving in the capital, he asked around for his whereabouts.

The results were announced a few days ago. Considering Xu Feng's talent, even if he was not in the top three, he would not be far behind.

How come there is no news at all?

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. Yan Xiaosheng suppressed the fear that was rising up in his heart and took out the red string that had once tied Xu Feng to look for someone.

She knew that the magic tools of heaven could not be used frequently in the mortal world, but she could not care less now. She had to find Xu Feng even at the risk of being caught.

The other end of the red line floated down in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yan Xiaosheng took the red thread and felt confused.

No matter how ignorant she was of worldly affairs, she knew that this was not a place that anyone could enter.

There are heavy guards outside the door, so it seems we have to wait until night to visit the prime minister's residence.

Since Xu Feng was arrested and imprisoned, the Prime Minister has met with him twice, telling him that the matter is done and he had no choice but to agree.

Xu Feng knew that there was no way to escape this time.

Now that the number one scholar has been decided, the prime minister will definitely not keep this troublesome person.

It would be fine if he was alone in the past, but now, he has concerns in his heart.

What would happen to the girl if he was gone?

I'm afraid I'm still waiting for him to come home.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise around me and a head popped out from the ground.

Xu Feng took a closer look and was very frightened. He looked around to see what was going on.

"Why are you here, girl? Why don't you stay at home!"

"I felt uneasy at home and wanted to come see you. I tried every possible way to find out that you were here and even dug a tunnel to save you, but you are so mean to me!" Yan Xiaosheng said aggrievedly.

Xu Feng hated to see her like this, so he calmed down and comforted her softly, "Okay, I was wrong, I apologize, don't cry, you've become a cat."

Yan Xiaosheng burst into laughter, and Xu Feng rolled up his sleeves to wipe the stains off her face.

He turned her head and looked very serious.

"Xiao Sheng, listen to me. I'll be fine. I'll just stay here for a few days and then I'll be out. Be obedient and go home and wait for me, otherwise I'll be really angry."

"You're lying. How can you stay in this damn place? Come with me, please."

Yan Xiaosheng's pleading expression made Xu Feng a little shaken, but reason stopped him.

At this moment of dilemma, the jailers who noticed the commotion in the cell rushed over.

Xu Feng secretly cried out that something was wrong and hurriedly pushed Yan Xiaosheng into the cave: "Xiaosheng, take care of yourself!"

Yan Xiaosheng fell into the hole before he could react. Xu Feng reached out and pulled the straw mat to cover the entrance of the hole, pretending nothing had happened.

The jailer did not dare to act on his own and went back to report.

Yan Xiaosheng had no choice but to quietly crawl out of the cave. Feeling anxious, he violated the taboo and used magic to save Xu Feng.

He spurted out mouthful after mouthful of blood, but his hands did not stop moving: "Xu Feng, I must save you, even if it means risking my life!"

Suddenly, an old man jumped out from the void, knocked Yan Xiaosheng unconscious, and disappeared on the spot after turning around.

"Sheng girl, your master can't stand the torture. Wait until you wake up and see how I punish you!" An old man with a white beard beside the bed was muttering.

Yan Xiaosheng vaguely heard someone calling her. Recalling everything that had happened before, she sat up abruptly: "Xu Feng!"

Seeing that the man had woken up, the old man hurriedly checked him up and down.

Yan Xiaosheng came back to her senses and threw herself into the old man's arms, crying, "Master, I want to save Xu Feng. Can you please help Sheng'er?"
