Hearing these words, Gongsun Xing's expression softened with emotion.
What Yue Mingxuan sought was simple, yet also far from simple.
A life like that could only be found by leaving the palace behind.
"I understand," he said.
"You just wait here and keep yourself safe. Don't easily consume anything of unknown origin."
Since the person behind all this intended to frame Yue Mingxuan, it was impossible that their plan would end with merely throwing him into prison.
There would surely be further moves.
Yue Mingxuan nodded.
The concerns Gongsun Xing raised were things he had already realized long ago.
Although he appeared to eat and drink without a care during these meals, he had secretly inspected everything out of the attendants' sight, only daring to consume it after confirming it was safe.
Too many people had died in this prison already and one more or one less would hardly make a difference.
