C324 (1/2)

Baili Cang looked at the iron lock on Chu Yunge's hand and her eyes shone with a bright light.

He hadn't even come out from his cell, and just saw that the big lock, which had always been locked at the door of his cell, had been removed by Chu Yunge. He was already in a state of ecstasy as he stared at the iron lock, which had traces of rust on it.

Seeing Baili Cang's excited expression, Chu Yunge was stunned.

Because she never thought that Baili Cang would be this happy when she had only taken down the lock herself. If she brought Baili Cang out of the State Supervisor Temple and saw the bright red lights of the world outside, wouldn't she have been so happy that she would faint from shock?

On the other hand, Feng Yi appeared to be much calmer. Seeing Baili Cang standing in the prison foolishly, looking at the teary and blurry face of the jailer, Feng Yi actually took out a moon-white handkerchief from his bosom and delicately offered it to Baili Cang. ”Your Highness, there is no need to be agitated. ”Don't let anyone else find out.”

”Thank you for your reminder, milord.” Baili Cang took the handkerchief that Feng Yi handed to him, and carefully wiped the tears that leaked out from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief made of soft brocade.

When the skin on his face came in contact with the soft cloth, the tears in Baili Cang's eyes flowed freely. He said emotionally, ”Don't be afraid that I will be laughing at you two, I have not used such soft cloth in a long time. Now that I have suddenly touched such a smooth and silky cloth, it feels like a lifetime has passed. It seems like ten years ago, when I was the Eastern Palace Prince, it was already a part of my previous life. ”

”This …” Chu Yunge wanted to say something but she hesitated. Her clear eyes revealed dense pity, as even though she saw that Baili Cang was already a young man, she was still tortured to such a degree by others here, even to the point of her wiping her face with a handkerchief.

”Sir, I know you've been locked up here for a long time, so you must have suffered a lot, but it doesn't matter. Right now, as long as we leave the tower, we will be on our way out. After you leave, we will return to a prosperous life.” Chu Yunge couldn't think of anything else to say to persuade her, so she could only say these words to persuade Baili Cang.

Feng Yi stood at the entrance of the cell, and took the initiative to gently push open the closed cell door. He raised his right hand, and made a 'please' gesture, even though he was wearing a black guard's robe and a human skin mask, his appearance was still not inferior to the handsome and elegant demeanor of someone with a straight body.

”Your Highness the Crown Prince, after you!” Feng Yi pointed towards the hall outside the prison, and a voice as clear as spring slowly floated out: ”It's still too early for you to say that you're free now. Please go to Tang Dynasty and change your clothes, then we can continue to leave.”

”That's good too, your benefactor is right.” Baili Cang hurriedly put away the handkerchief in his hand, held onto the wooden pillar with one hand, lifted his left foot and slowly took a heavy step forward.

This step, meant that Baili Cang had truly left the prison that he had been imprisoned in for ten years.

This was a step that he had never even dreamed of taking!

When he saw the door of the prison open, he actually felt that what was in front of him was not the door of the prison, but instead a Heavenly Palace full of golden radiance!

He had been locked up in this cell for ten years.

In these ten years, he had touched every tile in this cell countless times, walked to every corner of the cell countless times.

How could he have survived the long night in this cell if not for the new books and poems that came every month from the cells? How could he maintain his consciousness? In a situation where there was no one to accompany him, he could maintain his consciousness?

Over the past ten years, he had dreamt countless times that he would be able to walk out of the Sherry Tower and return to the outside world.

Even if he was no longer the crown prince, even if he couldn't become the emperor of Bright Moon Kingdom … As long as they were willing to let him out, as long as he was willing to allow him to walk outside, even if it was just a simple house made of straw, allowing him to farm every day like a mountain villager, he would still be willing!

He didn't want to spend the rest of his life in this cage.

What's the use of having a window in this cell?

He couldn't even see the entire sky, much less see the flowers and plants, he even wanted to see a patch of blue sky!
