The young man flicked his sleeves and walked in slowly, his gait was calm, his expression solemn, not like he was walking into a prison cell, but as if he was stepping on some sacred place.

Meng Heng glanced at him and said with a smile: "You have a bit of courage, but now that you are in this prison, I wonder if you can also taste this prison meal with Meng?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the porcelain plate on the ground, held it up in the air, and looked at the young man with a smile.

"Why not?" Xiao Yu smiled, took the porcelain plate, sat cross-legged opposite like a young man, picked up the remaining half of the tortilla in the dish and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it in his stomach.

"It tastes pretty good." The young man is quite authentic.

Meng Heng imagined that this person was usually well-fed and pampered, but at this moment, he could eat this prison meal comfortably, and couldn't help laughing loudly.

After laughing, Fang said: "It's a pity that I have drunk all the only half pot of tea, otherwise I can enjoy this unique tea in prison with you." ”

"yes, it's a pity." The young man also sighed regretfully and smiled slightly.

Outside the cell, Lord Li looked at the behavior of the two, and his heart was quite shocked, and his mind moved, and he hurriedly asked the prison to prepare a table of good wine and food, and he was busy personally taking two futons and a brocade quilt and sending them in and placing them.

"It's Wei Chen's inconsiderate thinking that made His Royal Highness and Doctor Meng suffer." Master Li bowed his head and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "It's me who caused trouble to Master Li." But ......"

At this time, it was late autumn, and he didn't feel anything when he first entered the cell, but after sitting for a long time, Fang Jue's bone-chilling chill quietly seeped in, freezing people's limbs cold.

Xiao Yu stood up and surrounded the young man before turning around and continuing: "It's rare that Master Li has the heart to take such care of Dr. Meng, Xiao is deeply impressed. ”

When Master Li heard this, he was even more embarrassed, and said "don't dare" a few times, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates to take good care of Dr. Meng, and then bowed and retreated.

Meng Heng glanced down at the brocade quilt tightly wrapped around him, and said lightly: "Meng is not as weak as Your Excellency thinks, and he really doesn't need to be so 'taken care of'." ”

But seeing that the young man shook his head slightly, with a light but firm smile on his lips, he said, "I have never thought that Dr. Meng is such a weak person, but ......"

He half-narrowed his eyes, then raised his eyes to look into the young man's eyes, and said softly: "Whether Dr. Meng needs to be taken care of is one thing, and what he wants is another. ”

The young man's voice was warm, and he was in a trance in this cold prison with a kind of spring breeze-like warmth.

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, but did not speak, only relaxed his body slightly, leaned in the soft brocade quilt, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The demeanor seems to be pleasant.

When the young man saw this, he did not bother him, but only picked up a few plates from the table of wine and food that suited the taste of the young man, and turned them upside down with a porcelain plate to keep them warm.

Then he also sat on the futon by the wall, half-folded eyes, and looked at the boy quietly.

The two of them closed their eyes for a while, and when they woke up, they laughed and talked a few times, and when they were hungry, they ate a few bites of the special food and wine prepared by Lord Li, but they were comfortable.

Meng Heng didn't care whether it was wine or tea at this time, he raised the porcelain cup with light wine and drank it up, and the spicy taste as if burning flowed down the wine into his limbs, bringing a long-lost sense of wantonness.

In this cold autumn season, in the cold prison, it is also burned to the warmth of the belly.

A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said with a smile: "In the past, I only knew that Dr. Meng didn't like to drink, but I didn't know that Dr. Meng was so bold and happy when he drank it. ”

Meng Heng hooked his lips and smiled, or because he hadn't been drinking for a long time, his cheeks quickly flashed with a faint faint halo, and his eyes, which were already as black as ink, also appeared brighter at this time, looking at the young man intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that ...... Alcohol is the most flawed thing, and it's better to drink less of it. But right now," Meng Heng said this, poured himself another glass, and said with a wanton smile: "Meng is in prison, and he is precarious, so he has wine today and is drunk today." ”

With that, he raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all, a few drops of residual wine dripping from the corners of his mouth, flowing down his graceful white neck, and finally dissolving into the collar of Young Moon's white coat.

The expression of the young man's eyes changed a little, and he finally closed his eyes and avoided looking at him for a while.

The boy's every move always seems to have his most unique truth. When you drink tea leisurely, it is so elegant and tranquil, not touching the world, and this heroic drinking is so wanton and unrestrained.

The young man slowly raised his eyes and looked straight into the young man's starry eyes, as if an inexplicable taste was entangled in his heart.

He couldn't help but raise his lamp to signal to the young man, and said with a smile: "Then I will also accompany Dr. Meng to drink once, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows." ”

The setting sun faded from the last shimmer of warmth that carried it, and the cell was dark and damp again.

In the end, the reason for the alcohol was that the young man leaned on the edge of the bed at this time and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep, and exhaled a long and steady breath between his noses, faintly mixed with a light aroma of wine.

"Dr. Meng?" Xiao Yu called softly.

But when he saw that the young man's eyelids twitched slightly, he returned to calm, as if he was asleep.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but lean over lightly and looked at the young man carefully.

Although the face of the young man is not as stunningly beautiful as the real one, it looks very cute at this time.

It's not like in the past, although there is always a smile on his face, but it makes people feel like they are close and unapproachable. At this time, the young man has faded a trace of calmness that seems to have experienced the baptism of the years, and has a little more naïve and cute that belongs to this age.

Xiao Yu chuckled, wrapped the quietly slippery brocade quilt around the young man's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Meng, it's almost dusk, and I, as the crown prince, must rush back to the palace before the end of the day, and I can't accompany Doctor Meng here." ”

After saying this, he pondered for a long time, and then added: "Master Meng, don't worry, I will not let you be imprisoned for a long time, and the person who framed Dr. Meng will be brought to justice." ”

After the words fell, he looked at the young man quietly for a while, and finally stood up, nodded to Li Qing and Master Li, who were waiting outside the cell, and pushed the door away.

After waiting for a few people to go far, Xiao Yufang stopped, arched his hand to Master Li, and said, "Today's matter, please Lord Li must not leak the slightest rumor." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the lower officials will handle it properly." Master Li hurriedly returned the salute and said in a loud voice.

"I've always believed in the ability of adults to do things." Xiao Yu nodded slightly, paused for a while, and then said, "There is just one thing I need to ask Master Li for advice." ”

"When the Lord sent his subordinates to search for the pharmacy run by Dr. Meng that day, did he secretly do it or did it be widely advertised?" The young man asked slowly.

Master Li thought about it for a long time, and said: "That day, the orphaned woman led a group of people to make trouble in the court, complaining for the common people, and the lower officials immediately complied with the woman's wishes and ordered someone to search Dr. Meng's pharmacy. ”

"I see." The young man's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything more, said goodbye to Master Li, and left with Li Qing.

In the early morning of the next day, the breeze was blowing, and Meng Heng woke up leisurely.

His body was warm because of this thick brocade quilt, and even a little hot, he lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, but his body was slightly staggering.

Only then did he suddenly remember that he seemed to have drunk wine yesterday.

The effect of the slight dizziness caused by alcohol has not yet passed, and even the memory is a little vain.

Meng Heng was a little stunned, and looked straight at the dishes on the table that were buttoned up, and he was stunned for a while.

The last figure of the young man before he was unconscious faintly appeared in his mind, and the two whispering words that lingered in his ears, and after a while, he couldn't help but laugh.

He shook his head while laughing, alcohol is such a thing, and he will never touch it again in the future.

At that time, a jailer approached and asked diligently: "Doctor Meng is hungry?" Still thirsty? ”

It is the same as the attitude of the young people yesterday before they came.

Meng Heng couldn't help but smile lowly, waved his hand and said indifferently: "Remove this wine table, I'm not hungry." ”

The jailer answered "yes," opened the cell, walked in quickly, removed the table, and left.

The cell instantly became a little empty again.

However, Meng Heng's mouth quietly evoked a playful smile.

At this time, it has been three days since the woman sued him in court, and he should have been brought to court for trial, but he has not seen the other party make any moves, except for Lord Fu Yin carefully screening the evidence, I am afraid that the other party has other plans.

Sure enough, before noon, Meng Heng waited for the expected person.

Cabinet First Assistant, Wu Youzhen.

The other party specially picked today's Mansion Lord Yin to come on the day of his retirement, and he didn't know what means he used, Meng Heng only felt that he followed the man and came with a faint demonic aura.

It made the jailers in this prison ignore him.

However, the young man's face was not surprised, but there was a hint of understanding.

"Lord Wu, it's been a long time." Meng Heng leaned against the wall and smiled lightly.
