Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

It is said that the correspondence between the Zhao family and the Chief Censor Sun was found, and based on this so-called "evidence", the Zhao family was thrown into prison because of this connection.

Tao Jiuxi's mind turned, and he immediately understood Shen Zhiyi's plan, but after the thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help smacking his lips, thinking that this approach was indeed a "risky move" and "bold and reckless".

But now that things have come to this, I believe he has follow-up arrangements, so we can only wait and see.

Zhao Muer was imprisoned in the cell diagonally opposite Tao Jiuxi. On her first day there, she was filled with sorrow and tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string. Her cries echoed throughout the corridor of the cell, making those who heard them feel sympathetic.

But by the next day, her tears had dried up. Perhaps she was tired of crying, her throat was so hoarse that she could hardly make a sound, and her sobs gradually stopped.

Rested for half a day.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi across from him, he felt a surge of anger for some reason, and started to mock him: "Hey, isn't this the Princess of Anping County? You seem quite comfortable in this prison."

Tao Jiuxi had already figured out Shen Zhiyi's plan and was certain that he would not lose his life easily. He was feeling relaxed and at ease. He was almost suffocating in this dull cell and was worried about the lack of fun. He immediately perked up after hearing what he heard.

Tao Jiuxi curled his lips and retorted, "It's been two days and you just saw me? I thought your eyesight was so bad that you had cataracts or glaucoma. You are so blind!"

When Zhao Muer heard this, her eyebrows raised, her eyes widened, and she said angrily: "You have fallen into such a situation, and you still dare to be so arrogant? Don't you see where you are?"

Tao Jiuxi raised his chin and said nonchalantly, "Even if we've fallen to this point, I was the first to come here and occupy the position. You're just a latecomer. In terms of seniority here, you can't compare to me. You're inferior to me in every way!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhao Muer's face flushed red at these words, her chest heaving violently. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "Tao Jiuxi, look at you now. Without all those silks and satins, and your makeup, your hair is a mess like a chicken coop. If an old hen saw you, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to tell which is the roost and which is you. You look so slovenly!"

Tao Jiuxi was not annoyed. He glared at her and deliberately provoked her: "Oh, your scolding has successfully aroused my desire to win. Zhao Muer, you are now like a salted fish that has been dead for eight months, smelly and wilted. You still want to argue with me? You are not even close to it!"

The two men exchanged words, neither of them giving in, and the spit flew everywhere. The cries and groans of the other people in the cell were completely drowned out by the verbal sparring.

The jailers were standing outside with frowns on their faces, tormented by the noisy chatter.

Looking at the brothers working next to me, I feel that they are much more pleasing to the eye and more handsome than the group of noisy women inside.

This went on for more than ten days. Although no new people were locked up, those who were locked up did not receive any punishment for the time being.

He was given two meals of porridge every day, and after eating they either cried or made a noise.

Tao Jiuxi sat in the cell, feeling extremely depressed.

If she had not been imprisoned, today would have been her wedding day with Shen Zhiyi. She had imagined countless times the various scenes at the wedding: red candles shining brightly, wedding characters all over the wall, herself wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, and she and Shen Zhiyi solemnly making a lifelong commitment to each other amid the blessings of their relatives and friends.

She raised her eyes to look at the small window of the cell. Sunlight came in from outside, casting a few beams of light onto the ground.

This should have been good weather for a wedding, with bright sunshine and clear skies, but now this good weather formed a sharp contrast with her situation, making her even more depressed, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong, Kuki?"

Tao Qingwan had been paying attention to her sister's condition. Although Jiuxi was not the type of person who was cheerful all day long, she rarely looked as depressed as she was now, so she hurriedly asked with concern.

"Sister, look at the weather today, it's so suitable for a wedding." Tao Jiuxi pointed toward the window, his words full of regret.

At the same time, he was also secretly wondering what Shen Zhiyi was doing at the moment.

"Silly girl, don't be sad. We are all safe and sound now. This is a blessing in disguise. When we get out, we can choose a good day to hold the wedding."

Tao Qingwan held her sister's hand with heartache and comforted her softly, trying to make her relax and stop looking so sad.

However, before Tao Qingwan could finish her words, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cell, followed by a serious voice shouting, "Women of the Tao family, follow me out."

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, his body stiffened suddenly and he became nervous instantly.

During this period in the cell, every time an outsider came in, it meant unknown variables. She didn't know what would happen this time, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The guard stood at the prison door and said nothing more, just signaled the jailer to open the cell.

The jailer quickly took out the key and unlocked the door. With a "clatter" sound, the door was opened. Then the jailer stepped forward and walked out with the three female members of the Tao family.

Tao Jiuxi walked out with a heart full of nervousness and doubts, his steps a little weak.

"Why are you taking them away? Has the case been finalized?"

"Is he going to be executed?"

"Mom, I'm so scared. Are we the ones down there?"

"Look at how fierce that guard was. Her family is protected by the Duke, but in the end, they couldn't escape.... So what should we do?"

As we walked forward, we could hear the constant noise of discussion on both sides of the prison corridor.

The Tao sisters remained silent and let the guards lead them forward, but their hands were tightly held together, giving each other strength and comfort.

The three were taken to the outermost confined cell. When they stepped in, Tao Jiuxi looked around and saw that there was no one there. He was about to ask when suddenly, a wisp of smoke rose in front of him. In an instant, the three of them saw black, their bodies softened, and they fell straight to the ground.

Tao Jiuxi woke up slowly, his head still dizzy and confused.

When the vision gradually became clear, what came into view was Mu'er's face full of anxiety and joy.

Her eyes were red, and tears still hung in the corners of her eyes. When she saw Tao Jiuxi wake up, her eyes instantly filled with tears again, and she cried out in a sobbing voice: "Girl! You are finally awake!"

Tao Jiuxi looked around. The room was unfamiliar, but the decoration was simple, elegant and exquisite.

She was full of doubts and frowned as she asked, "Where is this? Where is my sister?"

As he asked, he sat up and was surprised to find that his clothes had been changed. They felt soft and smooth, and his hair was clean and fresh. It was obvious that he had been carefully taken care of.

Mu'er quickly took a pillow and placed it behind Tao Jiuxi so that she could lean more comfortably.

"Miss, this is the courtyard His Majesty specially arranged. The eldest daughter is resting in the next room. The mistress is also well, you can rest assured."

Tao Jiuxi's tense heartstrings relaxed a little after hearing this, but then he became puzzled again and stared at Mu'er and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Miss, Duke Shen left the capital yesterday and went to the border to confront Xi Yan. It was Duke Shen who arranged for me to come here and wait for you before he left." Mu'er told the whole story.

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, she raised her hand and rubbed her sore and swollen head. The news that came in one after another flooded into her mind like a tide, impacting her thoughts and making her a little dazed for a moment.

Shen Zhiyi went to Xiyan?

"Did you leave any letter? Or any instructions?"

"The Duke said that the current situation is still unclear, and many matters will require some time to carefully sort out and properly handle. He cannot bear to see the young lady trapped in the Sky Prison, waiting in agony, so he begs Your Majesty to grant her permission to be placed in this separate courtyard. He also emphatically instructs her to patiently await his or the General's return."

half an hour.

"I understand."

Tao Jiuxi nodded slightly, and a smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth. She recalled that when she first arrived, she was always impatient and always thinking about leaving the house.

Now that I think about it, Shen Zhiyi really understood her personality well, and he had specifically instructed her on this matter before leaving to prevent her from acting rashly.

But her heart tightened instantly when she thought of Shen Ningqiu mentioning that Shen Zhiyi had been on the battlefield and always charged into battle and was at the forefront.

The war on the border is merciless and the swords and guns are indiscriminate. He is so brave, and if he is not careful, his life will be in danger. How can she not be worried?
