Chapter 66 His Mind

As soon as he entered the prison of Dali Temple, the first thing he passed by was a torture room full of torture instruments.

Has the little girl from the Fu family ever experienced such a damp and bloody place?The pungent smell rushed, uncontrollably, Fu Xuan bent down and retched twice.

Xie Zhan frowned.

Delicate, really squeamish.

She can still retch even the taste that he can accept so picky.

As if aware of her gaffe, Fu Xuan gave Xie Zhan a shameful look after vomiting.

But thinking about it, father is trapped in such a place at the moment, and it is always there, the eyes that looked at Xie Zhan immediately became foggy.

Xie Zhan turned his eyes to meet the extremely aggrieved look with tears in his eyes.

The movement he was about to make a "tsk" suddenly stopped.

Oh, it's as if he blamed her.

"Just get used to it." He said softly, as if comforting.

In fact, when Fuxuan came to visit the prison, he didn't need to be brought in by himself as a young minister. He only needed to inform the prison steward, and the prison guard would lead the way.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't know which tendon was in the wrong place, and today he thought of others.

Because Dali Temple is responsible for hearing the crimes committed by hundreds of officials in the central government and the cases of Jingzhao imprisonment and above, there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have been imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple.

Among the people in the past, this person was not considered prominent in terms of official position or family background.

Although according to the law, the division of custody was carried out, and he has a separate cell, but in this dark prison, there has never been a shortage of people who worship the superior and trample the inferior. Hold on, make a stumbling block in the dark.

Whether it's eating or using, here, for the suspect, both are of great importance.

If he didn't come for such a trip, the people in this prison, not to mention oppressing him, would definitely not take care of him.

When the summer heat is in full swing, can there be fewer rotten vegetables, stinky rice, mosquitoes, rats and ants?
As he expected, the jailer was well-informed and had a good eye. Seeing that Xie Shaoqing, who had always only stopped in the torture room, came in person, he saluted very respectfully. After the prison door opened, he greeted his colleagues and went to the distant prison Waiting at the door, leaving enough space for Fu Xuan and Fu Yiyan to talk.

Fu Xuan is naturally unaware of Xie Zhan's hard work.

She stared intently at her father who had suffered suddenly through the wooden door, and as soon as the jailer unlocked the cell, she rushed towards Fu Yiyan like an arrow leaving the string.

Xie Zhan tactfully retreated aside, did not follow her in, but did not turn around either.

In the dark cell, Fu Yiyan's official uniform has already retreated, and he is only wearing a snow-white middle coat at the moment.He was sitting on the couch, his gray hair was a little messy, although he was desolate, he couldn't hide his elegance and gentleness.

"Father." Fuxuan immediately burst into tears, knelt beside Fu Yiyan, grabbed his hand, and put her face on his arm as usual, "Are you okay?"

"Xuanxuan." As soon as she opened her mouth, Fu Yiyan choked her throat.

He reached out and stroked his daughter's bun, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, don't worry, go back and talk to your mother. Father is doing right, and nothing will happen."

Fu Xuan nodded solemnly, "Father, everything will be fine when uncle comes home."

Fu Yiyan hesitated.

If the person who harmed him was concerned about his elder brother, he would not have used this trick. I am afraid...someone wants to get rid of his elder brother while he is not in the capital, and then hurry up.

Naturally, he would not tell his daughter about these worries, but nodded in agreement: "Of course it is. The law is strict, Dali Temple acts justly, and will clear up my father's grievances."

As expected, the pain on Fu Xuan's face became less uncomfortable, she forced a smile, then thought of his illness again, frowning anxiously and asked: "Your illness..."

Fu Yiyan's old disease was left over from the battle.

The battle to recover Western Shu was in summer.Chengdu County in Sichuan is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the central part is basin-shaped. There is no wind, and the place is humid. Summer is the most humid and hot.When he arrived here, due to daily fatigue and unwell weather, Fu Yiyan suffered from hot air, coughed slightly and contracted lung disease, and was not treated in time due to the rush of the march, which left a hidden danger.

Although it has passed through the years, it recurs from time to time.And as you get older, you will have to pay more attention to raising them.

No, a few days ago, I was greedy for the cold, and I went swimming with a few nephews to escape the heat. The hot and cold alternated, and one of them didn't care, and coughed again, which made him sick.At this time, in this humid and hot prison, I don't know how hard it is to endure.

Seeing that her beloved daughter was worried, Fu comforted her with words: "It's not in the way."

As soon as this incident happened, it was a blessing that his life was not lost, and a little illness was a trivial matter.

The two talked for another quarter of an hour, and seeing Xie Zhan standing outside the prison door without saying a word, Fu Xuan knew what he was urging, so she reluctantly said goodbye to Fu Yi.

"Xie Liulang."

When the two were about to leave, Fu Yiyan called Xie Zhan to stop, and he begged: "Please take care of her."

Fu Xuan could make an exception and let the little girl come in to visit him on the day of his imprisonment. Fu Xuan didn't know it was Xie Zhan's selfish intentions. How could Fu Yiyan not guess it?
A dignified young minister visited his cell in person before interrogating him as a suspect. If it wasn't just for the guards to see, what else could it be?
When the marriage is over, the two families will have nothing to do with each other, but the desolate Xie Liulang sacrificed his life to save his beloved daughter, and also offered to help. Apart from that idea, Fu Yiyan can't think of other reasons.

Now that he is in danger, his eldest brother will not be able to return for a while, it is not a bad thing if he can protect the Fu family, especially Fu Xuan, whom he cares about the most.

When Xie Zhan heard the words and looked over, what he met was Fu Yiyan's hopeless and helpless eyes.He called him "Xie Liulang" instead of "Xie Shaoqing", and Xie Zhan more or less guessed the meaning.

Without saying a word, he walked out.

**
Beloved by everyone since she was a child, except for being rejected by the noble girls after entering Jiankang City, and having Xie Zhan withdraw her marriage, Fu Xuan is a girl who has not experienced the ups and downs of her life, and knows all the hardships.

In just three days, she encountered such major events as a shocking horse, her cousin was assassinated, and her father was imprisoned. It is naturally impossible to say that she is not afraid.

But she still remembers a sentence that her uncle often said to her since she was a child-Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, there is an uncle in everything.

According to past experience, whether it is a major national event such as fighting the enemy, or a small family matter such as saving her little pet, my uncle always does what he says.

Everything in the world seems to be handled by my uncle.

Therefore, up to now, even though her father is in prison, deep down in her heart, she always believes that when her uncle returns home, all the current difficulties will disappear in smoke.

With such longing, and seeing how confident her father was just now, although she was worried, in the end, her mood was still a bit clear.

Therefore, after coming out of Dali Temple Prison, when Fu Xuan raised her eyes to see Xie Zhan again, although there was no smile on the face of Fu Xuan thanking him, at least her face was no longer sad and her brows were frowned.

Seeing her like this, and seeing her shining eyes that were not blurred by tears, Xie Zhan felt very relieved, said "um", and accepted her thanks happily.

In this matter, she should thank him.

But after hearing what the guard said, Fuxuan only thought that Xie Zhan, the young minister, had the authority to let her in. She didn't know that people who hadn't been convicted could not be visited in prison, and naturally she didn't know that Xie Liulang had done favoritism for her once.

Thinking of her father's old illness, Fu Xuan asked Xie Zhan, "Can I bring some medicine to my father?"

 Xie Zhan: What an ancestor, you can't refuse, and you can't say anything.
