The person who came was Yan Xun's page, Feng Mian. He took Xiaoji and Xiaoba to a safe place, telling them not to run around during this time. As for himself, he naturally intended to rescue the Heir Apparent. Xiao Yu's attendant Yinxin had been secretly observing the movements of the people from Northern Yan. He had tracked Zhong Yu's whereabouts. At this moment, Zhong Yu had already left the city, and she met Dongfang Ji.

For Zhong Yu and others to rescue the Heir Apparent with their strength alone would be like moths flying into a flame. Dongfang Ji, with a sanctimonious look, advised her to think twice. Zhong Yu narrowed her eyes, watching Dongfang Ji's retreating figure, lost in thought. Yuwen Huai went to Heaven Prison, intent on killing Chu Qiao. But Heaven Prison was not a place where he could do as he pleased. Yuwen Huai was unwilling to just leave like that.

Before leaving, he did not forget to threaten Lord Luo, the supervisor of Heaven Prison, to "understand the situation." Lord Luo bowed in agreement and then turned to meet Yuwen Yue. Lord Luo was an upright person and would not let Yuwen Huai act recklessly. However, if Yuwen Huai obtained official documents, it would be difficult for him to obstruct further. Yuwen Yue understood this matter and asked Lord Luo to take good care of Yan Xun.

Inside Heaven Prison, candles blazed brightly. The outside sunlight could not penetrate year-round, making it damp and cold. Chu Qiao woke up on the dried grass covering the floor. She used the small knife hidden in her boot to slowly carve a fist-sized hole in the thick wall. Yan Xun was in the room next to hers. Hearing Chu Qiao call him, Yan Xun slowly crawled over from the corner. Even now, Yan Xun still held beautiful illusions.

He believed his father would definitely not rebel, and when the truth came out, they would be able to leave. Chu Qiao looked at Yan Xun's serious expression. Although she was not optimistic about his words, she still chose to smile and say she believed him. Yan Xun had always promised to give Chu Qiao a better life. Even in the harsh conditions of Heaven Prison, Yan Xun did his best to make her more comfortable.

Heaven Prison was damp and cold, and Yan Xun himself was extremely weak. He was also worried that Chu Qiao would be cold, and insisted on holding her hand to breathe warm air onto it for her. Chu Qiao was touched by Yan Xun's heartwarming gesture and told him her real name was Chu Qiao. Yan Xun grinned and discussed with her that he would call her Ah Chu from then on.

Zhao Xifeng met his elder brother, Zhao Dongting, at the city gate tower. Zhao Dongting had recently been ordered to escort Marquis Northen Settler's wife, Bai Sheng, back to Northern Yan and had just returned. His subordinates suddenly reported that Yan Xun's elder sister, Yan Hongxiao, had escaped at Shili Slope. Zhao Xifeng had always harbored resentment over Chu Qiao cutting off two of his fingers. He held Yan Xun accountable for this.

Upon hearing this news, he volunteered to capture Yan Hongxiao, vowing not to let anyone from Yan Xun's family go. A carriage galloped not far from Shili Slope. Yan Hongxiao clutched her stomach, her face filled with obvious worry. The wind lifted the carriage curtain. Zhao Xifeng effortlessly dealt with the guards escorting Yan Hongxiao. Yan Hongxiao fell from the carriage and struggled to crawl forward, seeking a glimmer of hope.

Having enjoyed her predicament enough, Zhao Xifeng shot an arrow, and Yan Hongxiao, who had just managed to stand up, collapsed dispiritedly. Zhao Xifeng ordered his men to cut off Yan Hongxiao's head and throw the body to feed the wolves. Just as he was gloating, a sharp arrow pierced through the air, directly hitting his mount. Yuwen Yue arrived with his men in a rapid assault. Zhao Xifeng provoked him, saying he most despised sanctimonious people like Yuwen Yue.

If he dared to shoot a "cold arrow" at Yan Xun from behind, then he shouldn't pretend to have deep brotherly affection in front of him. Yuwen Yue disdained explaining himself to irrelevant people. Wielding the Moon Breaking Sword, he thrust it directly towards Zhao Xifeng's throat. Zhao Xifeng cowered and begged for mercy. Just as Yuwen Yue was about to strike, Chief Eunuch Wang from the palace came to summon Yuwen Yue to the palace.

Zhao Xifeng knew he was saved, and the wild complacency in his eyes was undisguised. Seeing this, Yuwen Yue pierced his thigh with a sword. The Emperor urgently summoned Yuwen Yue to the palace, appointing him as the deputy execution supervisor for tomorrow. He was to supervise the execution of the Northern Yan rebels. If Yuwen Yue showed any favoritism, the Emperor would ensure that Qingshan House would cease to exist from then on.

Yuwen Yue accepted the decree and withdrew. At the same time, an eunuch by the Emperor's side reported that Marquis Northen Settler's wife, Bai Sheng, was kneeling outside the grand hall. Inside Heaven Prison, Yan Xun counted the days, believing his father should have arrived by now. Once things were clarified, they would be able to leave. Then he would be able to take Chu Qiao and her two younger sisters back to Northern Yan.

Northern Yan was beautiful; in summer, green pastures were everywhere. Yan Xun smiled as he recalled the days of riding horses across the grasslands with his father and elder siblings; those memories were so beautiful. In winter, their family would move to Huihui Mountain on the Shuobei Plateau. There were many hot springs on the mountaintop. Yan Xun's mother was not in good health, and for most of the year, she lived in the temporary palace beside the hot springs.

His father would always accompany her, their affection very deep. On the land of Northern Yan, there were no 'red gates where wine and meat rot while frozen corpses lie on the road' like in Chang'an. The people there were kind-hearted and lived in happiness and contentment. If Chu Qiao was willing to go back with him, Yan Xun would take her to Xiuli Mountains to ride horses in summer and to the hot spring temporary palace in winter.

His mother was easy to get along with, and Yan Xun believed she would definitely like Chu Qiao. The future Yan Xun described was too beautiful; Chu Qiao couldn't help but be moved to tears, her heart stirred. Chu Qiao tearfully agreed, and Yan Xun reached out his hand, clasping hers tightly. Wei Shuye was inherently kind-hearted. Going against his conscience to arrest Yan Xun had already filled him with immense guilt.

Now, seeing Yan Xun unjustly labeled as a rebel, he was furious. He questioned his uncle, Wei Guang, why this was happening. Wei Guang knew he sympathized with Yan Xun and detested the conflicts between powerful families. But that was how the world was; if they enjoyed the power and prestige of the powerful families, they had to pay the corresponding price. '

The weak are prey to the strong,' and if they did not conform to the greater situation, their Wei clan would be the ones to suffer today. Wei Shuye's eyes reddened, and he refused to believe such a cruel reality. In the imperial princess's bedchamber, Chun'er took out a pair of bell-adorned small shoes and gently stroked them. Her elder brother, Yuan Song, came in, bringing her the latest intelligence.

The Emperor had ordered that today at noon, the people from Northern Yan would be executed at Jiuyou Platform. Meanwhile, Bai Sheng was kneeling outside the grand hall, and the Emperor ignored her. At this moment, Chun'er no longer placed her hopes on Aunt Bai Sheng. She ran out, hugging the box containing the small shoes.

Seeing Aunt Bai Sheng kneeling outside the grand hall, dressed in plain white, her face pale but her eyes resolute, Chun'er felt a pang of heartache, and told her aunt not to worry, that she would definitely save Elder Brother Yan Xun.
