Distressed Young Woman Transmigrates: Wangfei Who Defies the Imperial Edict Chapter 262: Changes (3)

Then what is the emperor's purpose in imprisoning Xiao Shangshu?

Her heart became colder and colder. In the past, she was always afraid that the Xiao family would be involved if she caused trouble, so she deliberately distanced herself from the Xiao family. In fact, the Xiao family was not her weakness. Her weakness had long been exposed to Feng Luoxuan.

Yan Chi bent down and held her face, she saw a little helplessness floating in his eyes, he asked softly: "Yao'er, if the emperor uses this to blackmail you, what will you do?"

What to do? How to do? Xiao Yao looked back at him in a daze, seeing his frightened face reflected in his pupils, seeing the hard-to-hid lips, his heart ached unceasingly.

She suddenly realized that her uncertain attitude not only made her mind more confused, but also hurt Yan Chi. Now that they have decided to be together, the two should confess to each other and go through the ups and downs together.

She covered his cold hand, turned her head sideways and closed her eyes, rubbing her face in his hands, her movements were as cute as a kitten.

"What should I do? I don't know now, but there are some things I never want to give in to."

She opened her eyes, her lovely eyelashes fluttered slightly, she met his gaze seriously, and solemnly promised: "I have a bottom line, and my bottom line is that I will never betray you."

A beautiful smile bloomed on Yan Chi's lips, and for a while, the spring flowers were full of sunshine, and Xiao Yao's heart gradually softened.

Yan Chi picked her up and said happily, "I will do my best to protect you and your family from harm."

In the afternoon, Yan Chi took her with him to visit Xiao Shangshu in Lingzhou Prison where officials were detained.

Seeing that it was King Beiqi who showed the token for investigating the case, the prison guards did not dare to stop them, and quickly led them in courteously.

Many officials were detained in prison cells on both sides of the road, including Beijing officials who came to control the river, and more local officials, sitting on the ground with their heads downcast.

Xiao Yao saw some of them during the pilgrimage. At that time, they were neatly dressed and high-spirited. They never thought that they would become prisoners at this time. Their faces had long since lost the arrogance when they were in power.

"You have a lot to say to your uncle, I'll wait for you outside." Yan Chi smiled at her comfortingly.
