"Su Mu." Lin Yi held onto the door of the cell as he looked eagerly at Su Mu with obvious joy.
Su Mu frowned as he looked puzzledly at the disguised Lin Yi. Although his voice sounded very familiar, Su Mu did not dare to recognize him. After all, there was a huge difference in their appearances. "Sir, what can I do for you?"
There was a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables by his side. A mouse was lying on the edge of the bowl, making rustling sounds. Even from so far away, Lin Yi could still see the stones and the yellowing leaves in the bowl.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was already prepared. He took out a stewed chicken wrapped in oily paper, along with a few soft steamed buns. Finally, he even took out a stick of candied fruits.
"Lin Yi." Seeing the candied fruits, Su Mu finally dared to confirm the identity of the person who came. He stared blankly at Lin Yi with a layer of watery light covering his eyes.
She missed him so much. She really wanted to tell him that she had been wronged, but the words that came out of her mouth, after hesitating for a while, she swallowed them back down.
How was she going to tell Lin Yi that she was no longer innocent?
Lin Yi handed the bowl over and said, "Sorry to trouble you." His voice was low and filled with pity.
When Su Mu received the food, he first took a bite of the candied fruit. The sweet gourd was covered with a layer of shiny sugar. Su Mu ate it and waited for it to melt before biting open the hawthorn. The hawthorn was sour and sweet, making Su Mu's mood much better.
"Don't just eat candied fruits. "Eating more meat will strengthen your spirit." Lin Yi said as he placed the fragrant chicken next to Su Mu's mouth.
When she smelled the greasy taste, Su Mu felt disgusted and almost spit out the candied flakes in his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi was slightly anxious. However, he couldn't open the door to the Sky Prison. Even if he wanted to hug Su Mu, he couldn't.
Su Mu waved his hand and took a bite of the big white bun. He suppressed the sour taste in his mouth and said, "I think I've been starving for a long time."
Thinking of something, Su Mu suddenly put down the steamed bun and connected it to his pulse. The old man had kept her reciting, but he had not taught her to read or learn anything. All she had learned was the theoretical knowledge in the book.
There was a little pulse of fire in the inferior focal vein, with a sharp, slippery tip.
Su Mu's face instantly turned pale.
"What's the matter with you?" Lin Yi saw the sudden change in Su Mu's expression and asked worriedly. His hand holding the door was drenched in sweat.
Su Mu shook his head and took a bite of the steamed bun in a daze. No matter how Lin Yi asked, she didn't make a sound. Her entire being seemed to be in a daze.
"Su Mu!" He didn't know what had happened. Seeing that Su Mu had been ignoring him, he started to panic. He stretched out his body and used his hand to pat Su Mu's face.
Su Mu's body trembled. He came back to his senses and swallowed the steamed bun that he had been chewing for a long time. He asked, "Since you can enter in such a manner, can you …" Su Mu stopped midway. If Lin Yi borrowed Lin Yi's strength to call the imperial physician over, and if he was diagnosed, Lin Yi would definitely know. Then, how sad would he be? Now that the rain was approaching, how could she let him be distracted?
"What can I do?" Lin Yi held onto Su Mu's left hand with both of his hands with a face full of concern.
Su Mu shook his head and said, "Nothing. It's just that your sudden appearance makes me feel that you're not real. "
"Don't worry, I'll save you. Wait a while longer." Lin Yi knew what Su Mu was hiding, such as where she had gone to during her disappearance and with whom? But since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force her.
Su Mu smiled sweetly and replied, "Of course I trust you."
Lin Yi calmed his heart and asked, "Was there anyone else in the Su Clan other than you that was still alive?"
Su Mu was smart and instantly guessed Lin Yi's thoughts. "You want someone to ring the Heaven Shaking Drum?"
The Heaven Shaking Drum was left behind when the kingdom was first founded. It was recorded in the law that anyone who sounded out the Heaven Shaking Drum would be able to sue the Emperor for injustice.
"Perhaps there are a few servants who escaped, but it is not possible for them to ring the Heaven Shaking Drum." Su Mu rejected Lin Yi's suggestion.
If you want to beat a drum, you must step on nails with bare feet, step on overheated charcoal, and pick up a drumstick only with your fists. Without a decisive attitude, no one could walk that path. Without a firm will, he wouldn't be able to beat the drum with his bare hands.
"I'll go. I have the right to ring the Heaven Shaking Drum." She knew that Lin Yi needed a reason to reopen the case.
Lin Yi didn't want to make Su Mu suffer, but it was the most feasible choice. Yan Shen was a vicious and merciless person. He was a person who was used to cutting the grass at its roots. Even Su Mu had only remained behind to restrict him.
"I will write a book, but Yan Hen will definitely stop me …" Su Mu didn't finish his words, but the two of them understood. Yan Ling, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had long been a man who could cover the sky with one hand. Even if Su Mu wrote to him, Yan Sen had thousands of ways to make Su Mu's pleas disappear into the darkness.
To be honest, Lin Yi wasn't sure if he would be able to see Su Mu's letter, but he had to give it a try.
Once the Su Clan's case was overturned, it would be difficult for Yan Heng to escape. However, the Imperial Family would definitely be blamed, so Lin Yi could not interfere too much. At the very least, he could not let others know that the current Crown Prince was helping the Su Clan smack down the face of the Emperor.
"I have someone in the justice courts. I will tell him to take care of you so that your demands can reach the heavens." Lin Yi said with the tone of a crown prince. As a man, how could he let his woman suffer grievances?
Su Mu smiled and took a bite of the steamed bun. He then placed the steamed bun in his hand next to Lin Yi's mouth.
A few bites of the steamed bun were incomplete. Lin Yi smiled and bit into the place where Su Mu had bitten before. He accidentally brushed against Su Mu's cold fingers. In a daze, he once again thought of that ecstasy that made people sweat profusely.
Su Mu couldn't guess what Lin Yi was thinking, but when she saw his dark eyes, she couldn't help but blush. She pinched the finger that was still warm from Lin Yi's lips, just like a young girl seeing her lover for the first time.
Lin Yi did not dare to stay for too long. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Lin Yi reluctantly left the justice courts.
The justice courts were dark and gloomy, but because of one person's presence, it was a place of wind and water that was bright and beautiful in spring.
Seeing Lin Yi walk far away, Su Mu's body went limp and he caressed his lower abdomen with an unreadable expression. Even if there was no future between her and Lin Yi, she would not give birth to another person's child. It might hurt the child, but it was better than being trapped in a nightmare for the rest of my life. This was also the kindest way to deal with this child.
Su Mu laughed at himself. In the end, it was still his fault. Who told him to be blind? He didn't realize that Zhou Ye was Yan Shen's man.
Su Mu tightly pulled the clothes on his lower abdomen.
No matter how fierce the storm was, she could still go. She definitely could. After all, there would always be someone supporting her from behind.
