Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Gu Chan would not give the chief guard too much time to think.

After confusing the boy, she quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Didn't the prince say that people from the Tianji Pavilion were not allowed to enter the prison to interrogate other serious criminals?"

"This... This is not really what was said. It just said that no one is allowed to see the Ninth Prince." The head guard said honestly.

"That's it. We won't see the Ninth Prince when we go in. We will only interrogate the serious criminal." Gu Chan said.

The head guard was speechless and could only order the guards behind him, "Open the door and let Prince Chan and the others enter the prison."

"Yes, chief." The guards responded in unison.

Then they assigned one person to go and open the hole on the prison gate, and open the small door in the middle of the prison that only allowed one person to pass through.

The head of the guards said respectfully, "Lord Chan, since you are interrogating a serious criminal, please let me go in with you, so that if something else happens, I will be embarrassed to report it."

"Sure, no problem." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

After saying that, she put the token into the bag on her waist, and led Su Yao and the other two towards the small door in front.

The leader of the guards quickly followed behind them, keeping an eye on their every move.

After a while, the five of them walked through the small door together and entered the sky prison.

Once you enter, what you see are independent cells. These cells are sealed with iron pillars and built like iron barrels. Once someone is locked up in them, it is impossible to escape easily.

The most important thing is that there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. The guarding is very strict and the depressing atmosphere makes people feel scared all the time.

Of course, in a place like this, the smell is bound to be unpleasant.

At this time, Gu Chan and the other three walked forward, covering their mouths and noses with their hands, with extremely uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

Su Yao had to admit to Gu Chan and whispered in her ear, "You are really awesome! You really brought us in. Before, my father brought me here, but we couldn't get in!"

"That's because your purpose is too obvious, and you don't have an identity from the Tianji Pavilion. If you had one, it wouldn't be impossible for you to get in." Gu Chan replied.

"What should we do now? Not only is the guarding so strict, but there are also followers following us and watching us. It's impossible for us to see the Ninth Prince!" Su Yao said worriedly.

Gu Chan did not explain, but looked at her and smiled secretly, then with a thought, she quietly activated the illusion body technique, secretly released streams of white gas from her palms, and began to control the white gas to permeate the entire sky prison.

Not long after, all the guards guarding the sky prison were trapped by the illusion cast by Gu Chan, and they all stood there motionless.

Su Yao and the other two were stunned on the spot.

Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "I used the illusion technique to temporarily put them into an illusion. Now we need to quickly find the cell where the Ninth Prince is imprisoned and meet him first. We must hurry up. I can only control so many people for an incense stick of time."

"Okay." Su Yao responded quickly.

Then the four of them quickly searched the prison.

Soon, the four of them met Xuanyuan Qing in a cell with four iron walls at the innermost part of the Sky Prison.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Qing had disheveled hair and wore only a pair of white shorts. His upper body was naked and covered in blood. The most terrifying thing was that he was half-hanging in the cell with two black iron chains that passed through the two scapulae of his back. He had been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death.

"You little bastard prince, how could I be so cruel to torture you like this?" Su Yao walked up to Xuanyuan Qing, held his pale face in her hands, and cried.

Zuo Xin and Yan Zhen were deeply shocked by the scene before them. They could not believe that Xuanyuan Qing, the ninth prince of Tiancang Kingdom who was both talented in civil and military affairs, would one day end up in such a tragic situation.

Xuanyuan Qing was originally in a coma, and was awakened by Su Yao's crying. He looked up at her with difficulty, and a wry smile appeared on his face. Then he looked at Gu Chan and said casually as before, "Gu Chan, I... I have some oxygen in my crotch, come... come and help me scratch it."

"Scratch your head, it's already this hour and you're still in the mood to joke with me." Gu Chan said coldly.

"Ha ha……"

Xuanyuan Qing laughed out loud, showing his open-mindedness.

Su Yao said with great distress, "Okay, don't talk anymore, you must hold on. During this time, my father and I have been trying to find a way to save you. Don't worry, we will definitely get you out."

"Let's go quickly! If the prince knew that you came to see me, he would not let you off easily." Xuanyuan Qing said with a wry smile.

"Woooooooo..."

Su Yao couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately stretched out her arms, hugged his bloody waist and cried bitterly.

Gu Chan quickly reached out and pulled her away, saying in a deep voice, "You're crazy. Your face will be stained with his blood, or your tears will get on his body. If the guards notice something is wrong, it will be difficult for us to get out."

"I'm sorry, Prince Chan, I... I really feel so uncomfortable and I can't hold it in anymore." Su Yao said sadly.

"Don't worry, this kid is strong and has a lot of spiritual energy in his body. He won't die in a short time. There's no need to be so anxious to mourn for him." Gu Chan reminded.

Su Yao nodded silently, then quickly suppressed her sadness and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

Gu Chan took a step forward, forcing a smile on her face and said, "You are also stupid. How could you let the prince's people capture you from the border? I just can't figure it out. With your strength and the help of my spiritual beast, the big rooster, how could you be captured?"

"If I hadn't come, many people would have died on the border. The border is just getting better now, how could it withstand any more turmoil? The people living on the border still have to make a living. I can't let them suffer in vain for my own selfish interests! Wouldn't that be an apology for all the relief money you risked your life to bring to me from the Jiangnan area?" Xuanyuan Qing explained.

Gu Chan's eyes immediately filled with tears and she was deeply moved.

After all this time, she finally understood now that Xuanyuan Qing was willing to take the risk and come to Kyoto to suffer such torture just to protect the common people in the Jiangnan area and all his loyal subordinates from being harmed by the prince.

What is the imperial mind?

Isn't it just someone like him who cares about the common people?

Compared to him, the ruthless prince sitting in the palace now is simply not worth mentioning!

Forcing back the tears, Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "Hold on, believe me, I will definitely rescue you."

"You should worry more about yourself! Besides, saving me is not the most important thing now. You must get rid of someone first." Xuanyuan Qing said gritting his teeth.

Gu Chan's brows were furrowed, and her expression began to become extremely solemn.
