At this moment, Leng Qiyue's eyes were blind, her ears were deaf, and she could not speak. She was as dumb as a puppet. As the eunuch dragged her along, her mind was filled with thoughts of kowtowing.

Bai Lan was still tied to the rack in the Sky Prison. He watched in astonishment as the eunuch brought Leng Qiyue in and then pushed her into the wooden cage. Mu Rong Yue fell to the ground, her eyes empty. She didn't say anything.

Bai Lan shouted anxiously, "Yue Er, Yue Er, what happened? Answer me, I am Bai Lan. "

Mu Ru Yue still looked as though she didn't have any reaction, as she stared blankly at the ground.

Bai Lan didn't know what had happened, but seeing Mu Ru Yue's coarse clothes with blood stains, she knew that it definitely wasn't a good thing. Seeing her dazed look, as if he had received a huge shock, he was truly angry. A burst of brute force broke open his meridians, shattered the rack, and then quickly broke the chain and went inside.

Bai Lan grabbed Leng Qiyue's shoulder and shook it vigorously. "Speak, tell me, just what happened?"

Mu Ru Yue still didn't react, but footsteps came from outside the prison. Bai Lan looked over warily. The person who came was a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious clothing. She held a baby in her arms.

The one who came was none other than Mu Fei. When she saw Bai Lan, she frowned and then treated him as an invisible person. She walked up to Leng Qiyue and unwrapped the bundle in her hand, revealing her child's face.

"Zhiyue, take a look. The child isn't dead. Take a look." Mu Fei's voice was filled with worry.

Leng Qiyue's eyes finally rolled back a little as she looked at the child's face. He was currently staring at her with his pair of large eyes.

"Child …" Leng Qiyue finally came back to her senses. She held the child in her arms, pinched the child's wrist and began to feel his pulse.

There weren't any major injuries on the child's body, nor were there any signs of poisoning. Bai Lan couldn't help but sit down and mutter, "What are you guys playing at?"

Only then did Leng Qiyue see Bai Lan. She asked in astonishment, "Why are you here?"

Bai Lan said depressingly, "This is the Sky Prison. I was captured by that bastard and I didn't leave. Yet, why are you asking me why I'm here?"

It was only then that Leng Qiyue's intelligence returned to normal. Ignoring Bai Lan, she asked Mu Fei, "What's going on? Princess Butterfly lied to me? "

Mu Feifei shook her head and actually ignored the dirt on the ground and sat down on the straw like that, "Today, Die Fei went to see the Little Prince at Yu Fei's place and found that he was no longer breathing, so she carried him to the emperor. When the emperor saw that the little prince had stopped breathing and that his body was riddled with wounds, Long Yan became so angry that he wanted to cut off Yu Fei. But somehow, the little prince is alive again, so I took the initiative to plead on behalf of Yufei, temporarily saving her from death. Originally, I had proposed sending the little prince back to you. This way, the emperor might, on behalf of his own mother, let you leave the cold palace. I arrived at the Cold Palace a step earlier than the Dirty Butterfly to perform a good show. "

Leng Qiyue snorted. Mu Fei continued, "You won't blame me for pleading for mercy on behalf of Yufei, will you?"

Leng Qiyue shook her head and said, "That won't happen. I still have to thank you for saving Yufei's life. If she really died, then there would be no way for me to identify her as guilty." Although the Jade Concubine was annoying, she wouldn't kill the little prince. It wouldn't do her any good. I think it must be something that Die Fei did. She wanted to poison my son, but didn't know that he was immune to poisons. "

At the side, Bai Lan heard Nian Jun being abused, snatched away the child, and unwrapped the baby. The child's body was covered in bruises, especially on his limbs and knees. He said angrily, "That bitch Dongfang Yu, I'll go kill her right now."

Mu Fei pulled Bai Lan and said, "I don't know who you are, but from the looks of it, I know that you're a martial arts expert. However, you can't go and kill Yu Fei. Didn't you hear what Kai Yue said about leaving her to expose Die Fei's crime?"

Bai Lan glanced at Leng Qiyue, sighed, and said, "Didn't I obediently stay in the Sky Prison so that you could have a good life and have a stable life. I just didn't expect him to be so heartless. He forced you into the cold palace and separated mother and son. Today, he even sent you to prison, regardless of whether it was black or white. Yue'er, forget about him. I'll take you away and return to our Hao Yue Villa, okay? "

Leng Qiyue shook her head.

Bai Lan continued, "Are you afraid of implicating others? Then how about we roam the world? "

Leng Qiyue shook her head again.

Bai Lan panicked and shouted, "Do you want to stay here and suffer?"

Leng Qiyue raised her head, looked at Bai Lan, and gently smiled, "I don't have any good points, but my shortcomings are a bunch. If I was bitten by a poisonous snake and I didn't die, then I would definitely boil that poisonous snake and eat it. "

Bai Lan didn't quite understand, but Mu Fei looked relieved as she stood up and patted the straw that stuck to her body. " Since you have the heart to eat snakes, then I'll wait for a piece of snake soup. Don't worry, I'll take care of the child now, so there won't be any more problems. "

Leng Qiyue didn't know why she trusted Mu Fei so much, but she handed the child over to her without worry. She didn't forget to remind her, "I'll trouble you to take care of the child. I'll definitely repay your great kindness."

Mu Fei smiled, but there was a hint of desolation within her smile. Her eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't say anything. She held the child and walked out of the prison.

After Mu Fei left, Leng Qiyue chatted with Bai Lan for a while. When she found out that Dongfang Haotian didn't make things difficult for Bai Lan, she secretly nodded her head.

It was about ten in the evening. A few eunuchs and guards came to the cell. They were surprised to see the scene in the cell but didn't say anything. Seeing the door to the prison that had locked Leng Qiyue open, and the broken chains on it, the expression on his face slightly changed. One of the eunuchs even touched his neck subconsciously, as if it wasn't the iron chain that broke but his neck.

Two young eunuchs put down their food boxes and set up a sumptuous feast.

The guard quietly tidied up the broken rack and threw it out. Afterwards, he cleaned the other cell and put on the bedding.

A young eunuch around the age of seventeen or eighteen held a snow-white blanket in his hands, not daring to enter the cell that Leng Qiyue was in. He would peek at her from time to time.

Leng Qiyue stood up and said, "Come in."

The eunuch felt a great sense of relief and hurried in. "Empress, this servant wants to clean up this place. I invite the Empress to have a meal first."

"Yes." Leng Qiyue pulled Bai Lan to the wooden table.

Bai Lan frowned and asked, "Who told you to do this?"

An old eunuch with graying eyebrows and hair stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the commander, this is the emperor's order." "The Emperor has said that he wants this servant to wait upon you before you go see a fight."

"Oh?" Bai Lan and Leng Qiyue did not expect that it would be Dongfang Haotian. They thought that it was because of Mu Fei's orders.

Leng Qiyue did not think too much about it and quickly filled her stomach. She was holding a chicken leg in one hand and a handful of dishes in the other. Her small mouth was filled with food. Bai Lan was already familiar with Murong Yue's way of eating, so it wasn't strange. On the contrary, the eunuchs at the side all covered their mouths while laughing.

After eating her fill, Mu Rong Yue stretched her back. Since the child was safe, what else was there for her to worry about? Dongfang Haotian had brought them delicious food and set up a cell. He definitely wouldn't kill them. Regardless of anything else, taking things step by step was more important. The most important thing was to strengthen his body first.

When the old eunuch saw Leng Qiyue put down her chopsticks, he used the fingernail of his little finger to pick his teeth and handed over a silver toothpick from the corner of his mouth. Leng Qiyue took it and picked her teeth. She had wanted to return it to the old eunuch, but upon closer inspection, she found that this little thing was cute. Its silver white body was embedded in the ivory handle, and its end even had a red coral pearl embedded in it. After making a comparison with her hand, she found that it was about three inches. Other than picking her teeth, it could be used as a hairpin. Therefore, she didn't return it after picking it, instead she rubbed it against her sleeve and stuck it into her bun.

The old eunuch pursed his lips again, not saying a word. This was his beloved item and had not been used since the old empress dowager gave it to him. Today, he knew that these two were definitely unyielding people in the Celestial Prison, so he deliberately used them to curry favor with them. In the end, they were all confiscated just like that.

Bai Lan was enlightened and said, "This toothpick is very special. It doesn't seem like it can be used by an eunuch."

The old eunuch hastened to say, "The commander is right. That was bestowed upon me by the late Esteemed Empress Dowager. I've always been reluctant to use it."

When Leng Qiyue saw Bai Lan give her a look, she immediately understood what was going on. She took the toothpick out of her head and used her sleeve to wipe it before handing it to the old eunuch. "Because I have the habit of picking one's teeth with a hairpin, I'll return this to my father-in-law. Thank you very much."

The old eunuch wanted to laugh. Firstly, he wanted to return the treasure he had lost, and secondly, he had heard that Leng Qiyue had used a hairpin to pick her teeth, but he had after all been in the palace for most of his life.

Leng Qiyue smiled at Bai Lan and said, "I'm going to take a rest. Didn't you want to see him?"

Bai Lan remembered that Dongfang Haotian wanted to see her, so she stood up and said: "You go ahead, I'll go see what he wants to do."

When the old eunuch saw that Bai Lan had stood up, he immediately took out a black cape and placed it on him. "The Emperor wishes to secretly summon the Commander. Please feel aggrieved, Commander."

Bai Lan nodded, unable to fathom Dongfang Haotian's intentions. This old eunuch repeatedly called him a commander, how could he be a commander now? He followed the old eunuch with a nervous heart.
