Zhong Yu had already arranged three groups of people. After rescuing Yan Xun, they were to rendezvous at Vipin Pavilion on Vermilion Bird Street, then split into three groups and exit the city from the east, west, and north directions. After leaving the city, they would set fire to the city gates to buy time for their escape. The moon was high in the sky, and the cold was biting.

Zhong Yu led her people to the Heaven Prison and found Zhao Xifeng approaching with a team. She immediately changed her plan, intending to act at once. At the same time, Xiao Yu arrived with her people. It was a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; Zhong Yu and Xiao Yu's people started fighting first, allowing Zhao Xifeng to successfully enter the Heaven Prison.

Seeing Yan Xun lying on a pile of withered grass, scarred and utterly disgraced, Zhao Xifeng almost clapped his hands in glee. Zhao Xifeng had eaten every delicacy imaginable, but he had never suffered a loss. Chu Qiao had injured two of his fingers, and Zhao Xifeng had always remembered it. Yan Xun was now a homeless dog, reviled by everyone.

Zhao Xifeng was not afraid to tell him that the Emperor had actually ordered Yuwen Yue's Spy Network of Heavenly Eyes to keep an eye on Northern Yan, ready to strike at any moment. Yuwen Yue had even called Yan Xun his sworn brother, yet he had not told him such an important matter.

That last arrow that hit Yan Xun when he was escaping was not even shot by Yuwen Yue, but he had spread the news throughout Chang'an city to claim credit. Zhao Xifeng ridiculed Yan Xun to the best of his ability. He wanted to deal with Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao's martial arts were excellent, and the ruffians he brought were no match for her.

However, Yan Xun was too weak, so Zhao Xifeng stepped on him to threaten Chu Qiao, forcing Chu Qiao to surrender. Zhao Xifeng triumphantly wanted to cut off Chu Qiao's fingers for revenge, but Yan Xun would rather cut off his own fingers than see Chu Qiao injured. Watching Yan Xun point the knife at his own finger, Chu Qiao was panicked. She felt that she was not worth Yan Xun doing such a thing.

Yan Xun had his own judgment. He had chosen Chu Qiao, and cutting off a mere finger for her was nothing. With a swift cut, his little finger was severed. Ten fingers are connected to the heart, but Yan Xun endured it without making a sound. No matter how strong Chu Qiao was, she couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

She felt heartbroken for this man who had lost his family and home, and who had even cut off his finger for her. Outside the Heaven Prison, Zhong Yu's people arrived and told her that the cavalry camp was approaching. They were outnumbered and outmatched, so Zhong Yu had to abandon the rescue attempt. Seeing Zhong Yu leave, Xiao Yu also withdrew.

At the same time, Zhao Xifeng received news that someone was trying to break into the prison and led his people away first. Yuwen Yue rode swiftly to the Heaven Prison. The guards reported everything that had happened there to him. When Yuwen Yue entered, Chu Qiao was tying Yan Xun's hair. Facing his former good brother, Yan Xun couldn't believe he would betray him, verifying word by word the news he had heard from Zhao Xifeng.

Yan Xun asked him if the arrow that hit him on the day of his escape was an Icy Snow Arrow. Yuwen Yue clearly knew that saying yes would make Yan Xun misunderstand that he was the archer, but he still said yes without hesitation. He could not expose that the person behind it was his grandfather, Yuwen Zhuo, who was considered dead in the eyes of outsiders. Yan Xun was heartbroken by their decade-long friendship.

The Emperor had long wanted to move against Northern Yan, yet Yuwen Yue had not said a single word to him. Chu Qiao asked Yuwen Yue if he had stolen the letter Marquis Northen Settler wrote to Yan Xun. Yuwen Yue was surprised she knew about it but did not explain that he did so to help Yan Xun conceal his plan to escape. Dawn gradually broke, and Yuwen Yue left the Heaven Prison.

The Emperor had learned of the fight between the two groups outside the Heaven Prison early in the morning. He had originally planned to send Yuan Song to purge the Marquis Northen Settler's remnants, but this son was too soft-hearted. The Emperor then thought of his seventh son, Yuan Che, who was the most suitable person for the job. Lord Luo had been killed, but the Emperor did not immediately send someone to take over the Heaven Prison.

Chun'er heard her brother Yuan Song mention the matter and couldn't help but her eyes redden, secretly anxious. The Emperor clearly did not truly intend to pardon Yan Xun. His delay in sending someone to replace Lord Luo was a way of telling everyone that the Heaven Prison was an ownerless land. Every night, waves of people attempted to enter the Heaven Prison. Yuwen Yue stood guard not far away, killing anyone who came.

Inside the Heaven Prison, Yan Xun was weak. Chu Qiao asked the jailer if there was anything to eat. The jailer was very polite to her. Yuwen Yue had instructed that Yan Xun and Chu Qiao's food and drink should not be withheld. When Yan Xun received the hot porridge, the first person he thought of was Chu Qiao. One bowl of porridge, shared by two people.

Yan Xun had originally wanted to take Chu Qiao to Northern Yan to live a good life, but he never expected to implicate her in his suffering. Chu Qiao knew Yan Xun blamed himself, but he had already been good enough to her. Chu Qiao would not blame him for anything.

When Yan Xun was the Heir Apparent, she did not think highly of him, and now that he was down and out, Chu Qiao did not look down on him either. She was friends with Yan Xun for who he was, not for his status or background. To comfort Yan Xun, Chu Qiao cheerfully envisioned returning to Northern Yan in the future; she could open a martial arts school, or ride horses in Xiuli Mountains. . .

Listening to Chu Qiao's beautiful visions one by one, Yan Xun smiled faintly, remaining silent. Leaving aside whether they could even get out, even if they did, with the deep blood feud he carried, it would probably be difficult to provide Ah Chu with a stable home in a short time.

Yuwen Yue's beloved pet bird flew in, stood on the prison door, and haughtily called Chu Qiao a fool, then reluctantly called out Xing'er's name before turning and flying away. Yuwen Yue and his beloved bird stood far away, guarding the Heaven Prison securely. From a distance, corpses were already strewn across the ground outside the Heaven Prison. The Emperor had learned early that someone was secretly protecting Yan Xun, but he did not know who it was.

With Marquis Northen Settler dead, someone needed to take over Northern Yan as soon as possible. The Emperor no longer wanted to use the children of Chang'an noble families, fearing another Marquis Northen Settler, Yan Shicheng, would emerge and threaten his imperial power. Based on the recommendation of his confidant, Grand Eunuch Wang, the Emperor planned to send Li Xian, Jiang Wei, and Yang Ye, all from commoner backgrounds, to guard Northern Yan.

At the same time, Yuwen Yue was also guessing the personnel who would be sent to guard Northern Yan. After layers of screening, the three selected were precisely the three recommended by Grand Eunuch Wang to the Emperor. Yuwen Yue immediately told Yue Qi to spread the news and inform Chun'er for an inside-outside coordination.

As long as this news was released, the various clans would definitely try to win over these three in order to seize control of Northern Yan. The situation in Northern Yan was turbulent, urgently requiring someone to guard it. The Emperor had finally gotten rid of Marquis Northen Settler and certainly would not send any more noble family children to Northern Yan.

However, the commoner children recommended by Grand Eunuch Wang were now siding with the major powerful families, greatly angering the Emperor. Yuwen Yue's goal was achieved. He wanted the Emperor to realize that it was impossible to control Northern Yan by bypassing the powerful families, and this was Yan Xun's only chance to survive. Chun'er had grown up in the deep palace and knew little about political schemes, but she was willing to trust Yuwen Yue this once.

Grand Eunuch Wang and the people he recommended were all from Huaibei. To say he had no selfish motives, no one would believe it. Yuwen Yue told Chun'er to use this point to persuade Grand Eunuch Wang to help.
