Chapter 357: Chapter 346: Awarding You with Two Babies, Rushing Back to the Capital in a Hurried Horse_2

Shen Chuwei was overwhelmed with emotion, "What have I done to deserve such a brave and domineering little uncle like you."

Xiao Jinyu was somewhat embarrassed by the praise, "Oh, it’s nothing, I’m just doing what I should."

Shen Chuwei solemnly promised, "After the baby is born, I’ll let you hold him more."

Xiao Jinyu’s eyes curved happily, "Sister-in-law, you said it yourself, you can’t go back on your word."

Shen Chuwei’s tone was firm and certain, "I won’t go back on it, you can hold him as long as you like."

Xiao Jinyu chuckled twice.

Later, when Xiao Jinyu held his nephew, as soon as he took him in his arms, he was rewarded with a wet diaper.

When holding his niece, she spit up milk all over him~

Chun Xi thought of Qin Xiao still suffering in Sky Prison and couldn’t help but ask, "Prince Jinyu, how is Qin Xiao holding up?"

Xiao Jinyu paused when Qin Xiao was mentioned, for he had forgotten about him~

Seeing Xiao Jinyu’s silence, Chun Xi thought something had happened to Qin Xiao, and with a trembling voice, she asked, "Is Qin Xiao being tortured... with the ten most brutal tortures?"

Chun Xi choked up and couldn’t continue.

Xiao Jinyu saw Chun Xi crying and rushed to explain, "I was in a hurry to see my sister-in-law, and I haven’t had time to check on Qin Xiao. I don’t know what his situation is now."

After hearing this, Chun Xi sobbed even harder instead of feeling comforted.

Shen Chuwei also began to worry, "Prince Jinyu, can you check on Qin Xiao in Sky Prison?"

Xiao Jinyu saw Chun Xi crying and wondered what was the relationship between Qin Xiao and Chun Xi for her to be so upset about him.

"No problem, I’ll go check on Qin Xiao in a moment."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuwei leaned over the couch, opened the drawer on top of it, and took out a prepared extendable handbag, stuffing it into Xiao Jinyu’s arms. Inside the bag were several types of medicine.

"Take these medicines to Qin Xiao, just in case."

"Okay," Xiao Jinyu took the bag of medicine and then left with a swish.

Xiao Jinyu arrived at Sky Prison, and because it was summer, the smell was somewhat unpleasant. He opened his folding fan to cover his nose and followed a jailer inside.

The head jailer saw Prince Jinyu and hurried over with a bow, "Prince Jinyu, this is Sky Prison. With your noble status, why have you come here?"

Xiao Jinyu asked with a stern voice, "Where is Qin Xiao?"

The head jailer’s smile was ingratiating, "That scoundrel Qin Xiao still hasn’t confessed. He’s just been tortured and is inside."

Xiao Jinyu frowned, "Lead the way."

The head jailer respectfully said, "Prince Jinyu, please follow me."

Xiao Jinyu followed the head jailer all the way inside.

Inside, all kinds of torture instruments were available, and the strong smell of blood was in the air.

In the summer heat, charcoal basins burned inside, making it feel like being in a huge steamer.

Qin Xiao sat in a corner, his hair in utter disarray, his clothes barely recognizable as such.

In his vicinity was a puddle of water which was likely thrown at him to revive him from pain-induced unconsciousness.

The head jailer kicked Qin Xiao and growled, "Get up, Prince Jinyu is here to see you."

"Hiss!" Qin Xiao grunted and slowly lifted his head, locking eyes with Xiao Jinyu.

Before he could speak, he watched as Xiao Jinyu kicked the head jailer in front of him, sending him flying.

"Bang!" The jailer’s body hit the wall, and he grimaced in pain.

Xiao Jinyu’s gaze was icy, "Do I need your babbling in front of me?"

The head jailer scrambled up, "Yes, yes, it was my fault for talking too much."

Xiao Jinyu coldly ordered, "Then get lost."

"I’ll leave at once," the head jailer crawled and rolled to get out.

Once he was alone with Qin Xiao, Xiao Jinyu quickly walked over, looking at his sorry state, devoid of his usual confidence and bravado.

"Qin Xiao, how are you feeling?"

"Prince Jinyu, your subordinate is fine," Qin Xiao replied with a dry and hoarse voice after having had neither food nor drink for a full day and night.

"Looking at you, you don’t seem fine to me," Xiao Jinyu said as he assessed Qin Xiao, wishing he could take him for a bath and a change of clothes and apply some medicine.

But the matter was not yet clear, and he couldn’t take Qin Xiao away.

Qin Xiao asked with difficulty, "How is Lady Shen?"

Xiao Jinyu replied, "You don’t need to worry about Lady Shen, with me here, I will not let my father lay a finger on her."

Only then did Qin Xiao breathe a sigh of relief, "Then that is good."

Xiao Jinyu took out a bottle of water from his arms, something Shen Chuwei gave him, called glucose.

"Drink some water first."

Qin Xiao, who was extremely thirsty, gulped it down, consuming the entire bottle of glucose.

After that, Xiao Jinyu gave him several pieces of chocolate, claiming they could quickly replenish his strength.

By this time Qin Xiao was starving, not minding the sweetness and consuming several pieces at once, followed by some more water.

Xiao Jinyu then applied powder from the medicines to his wounds, which helped to stop the bleeding and heal quickly.

"Hang in there, my brother will be back soon," Xiao Jinyu encouraged him.

By now, Qin Xiao had regained some strength, "Never mind your subordinate, even if I die, I won’t let Lady Shen suffer this injustice."

Xiao Jinyu felt reassured, "You have to hang on, Lady Shen wouldn’t want anything to happen to you, and Chun Xi, she was crying like a fountain when she heard you were being tortured."

At these words, Qin Xiao froze, "Really?"

Xiao Jinyu spoke assuredly, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Qin Xiao tried to smile, but the pain twisted his expression.

Xiao Jinyu stuffed the extendable bag into Qin Xiao’s arms, "Keep these items just in case."

Walking out of there, Xiao Jinyu swept his gaze over the people at the table and warned them, "The Emperor wants the truth, not coerced confessions. Disappoint his expectations and you bear a burden you cannot afford to carry."

The jailer nodded tremblingly, "This servant understands."

Xiao Jinyu finally left satisfied.

At that moment, on the wide Official Road, several fine horses galloped towards the Capital, kicking up clouds of dust wherever they passed.

Riding at the forefront was the Crown Prince, Xiao Jinyan!
