Feng Yi and Chu Yunge's goal was to reach the seventh floor, and only by reaching the seventh floor would they be able to complete their task. The danger involved was extremely scary, and one could say that if they made even the slightest of mistakes, it would cause the both of them to pay a heavy price, so they definitely could not make any mistakes.

After walking out of the corridor, they arrived at the hall on the third floor.

As expected, the black-robed guards who were responsible for guarding the hall had all fallen asleep by now.

The guards who should have been standing in the four corners of the lobby had closed their eyes and fallen into a quiet sleep.

The guard on the stairs also went limp, falling asleep on the first step of the stairs.

Feng Yi and Chu Yunge did not dare to delay any longer. After avoiding the guards and climbing up the stairs, they quickly reached the fourth floor of the sariras.

Feng Yi already knew the time when these guards would turn in. When they arrived at the fourth floor, Chu Yunge was hiding at the side, but because Feng Yi was wearing the guard's attire and a human skin mask, he was naturally able to get through quickly. However, there was one more guard to get through this mess, which was clearly a very serious problem.

But in the next moment, Chu Yunge made a very bold decision. She immediately pulled out her crossbow and aimed it at the guard's neck, and then pulled the trigger.

The silver needles were thin and slender, not as thick and hard as a bow or arrow. Even if they were shot through the air, there was no sound of them breaking through the air.

The silver needle flew through the air in a silver arc before entering the guard's neck without a sound.

The guard felt a sudden itch on his neck. He raised his hand and touched his neck. In just a few seconds, the effect of the medicine had reached its peak. The guard's eyes rolled back as he fell down.

Seeing that the guard was about to fall to the ground, Feng Yi jumped out and quickly caught him, causing him to drag the guard to a corner where he could sleep.

Before leaving, he casually removed the silver needle from the guard's neck to conceal the evidence.

After tidying up all these, Feng Yi and Chu Yunge set off again, and continued up the stairs.

No one made any sound during the whole process. Nobody even noticed it. They just did it perfectly.

What happened afterwards continued on throughout the fifth and sixth levels.

Very quickly, in less than an incense worth of time, Chu Yunge and Feng Yi had already arrived at the seventh floor of the sariras.

After arriving at the seventh floor, Feng Yi and Chu Yunge fell into silence at the same time.

The two of them stood in the spacious hall and looked at everything in front of them at the same time. Their eyes revealed slight surprise.

They hadn't thought that the seventh floor of the Sherry Tower would be so different from the other floors.

There were no heavy guards like he had expected, nor were there any patrolling guards.

Because the structure of the tower is the shape of a normal temple pagoda, the width of the bottom, the narrower the top, the topmost area is the smallest.

Although he had already guessed that the seventh floor might be a bit small before coming here, it wasn't to the extent that even a few guards couldn't manage it.

They stood in front of the lobby, which had a depth of about three fathoms, or more than a hundred square metres.

In the center of the hall, there was an Eight Immortals Table and two armchairs. On the table, there was an oil lamp and a kettle. It seemed to be prepared for the bodyguards who had come to guard the seventh floor.

The end of the lobby was not the same as the other floors. There were no intersections, no corridors, and naturally there were no cells on both sides of the corridors.

At the end of the hall was what looked like a very spacious prison cell.

Unlike other cells, the cell was made of more expensive mahogany instead of black iron.

Each piece of mahogany was as thick as the wrist of a grown man. Just like an ordinary prison, each piece of wood could fit two fists at the same time.

Chu Yunge was truly stunned, she did not understand at all how this prison could be designed to look like this.

She wondered if she had really reached the seventh floor after walking through such a place.

Could it be that everything that had appeared before her eyes was just a dream?

"Feng Yi..." Chu Yunge seemed to have been petrified as he stood rooted to the ground, calling Feng Yi, who was standing beside her, softly.

Just like her, Feng Yi also stood on the spot with a bit of astonishment. Her phoenix eyes stared blankly at the prison cell about ten meters in front of her, with doubt written all over her eyes.

"Feng Yi..." Without hearing Feng Yi's reply, Chu Yunge spoke again in a soft voice, "Could it be that I'm really dreaming right now? I didn't even come to the seventh floor of the saritas? "

Only now did Feng Yi hear Chu Yunge's voice, and he suddenly regained his senses. The expression in his eyes changed, and he slowly turned his head, to look at Chu Yunge who was standing beside him.

"Am I dreaming? "Why does it feel like the cell in front of me isn't real? It can't be that I'm still in a dream and have yet to wake up, right?" Chu Yunge stared at the cell in front of him and asked Feng Yi who was beside him.

Hearing her question, Feng Yi's eyes looked around, and once again landed on the cell in front of him, looking at the extremely spacious and simple cell, after staring for a long while, he finally dared to nod his head: "You aren't dreaming, everything that is happening right now is real, this cell is where the crippled Crown Prince Baili Cang is locked up."

"But how is that possible?" Chu Yunge suddenly turned her head, and looked towards Feng Yi's clearly outlined face, "Even the third floor's prison cell that held the princess was made of black iron, so how could the crippled crown prince be the most respected person here, only using ordinary wood to imprison him? If you want to break this log, it will be easy. As long as you are someone who has practiced martial arts, you can break this log with just a slight blow of your inner force! "

Chu Yunge voiced out the doubts in her heart.

She just couldn't understand. Since the cells that the princes and princesses were imprisoned in were made of black iron, then why was the place that the crown prince, Baili Cang, was imprisoned in have such ordinary and fragile wood?

Logically speaking, in order to guard against the Princess's escape, they should have forged such a hard iron prison cell, and the place where the crown prince was imprisoned should have been impregnable!

At the very least, they should have used an entire iron wall to imprison him!

Chu Yunge was filled with suspicions. Just as she was still in the midst of deep thought, Feng Yi had already reacted and took the lead to walk towards the only prison at the end of the hall.

"Look, Xiao Ge, this cell is very simple and clean. There are beds, tables and chairs, a desk with ink and paper on it, and a whole row of bookshelves at the corner. The bookshelves are filled with books." Feng Yi walked to the position at the entrance of the prison, and looked at the decorations displayed inside through the red wooden fence that was as thick as his wrist.

Chu Yunge followed along and walked in. As expected, the interior was much cleaner and tidy, indeed, it was more elegant than the cells where the princes and princesses were imprisoned.

Even when compared to the room that held her, not only was there not a single strand of hay on the floor of the cell, the green bricks were laid out flat. The floor near the bed and the desk was also covered with a crimson, hand-woven carpet.

Looking at the cleanliness and elegance of the room, it was indeed much better than the cell she lived in.

As his gaze continued to move across the cell, not only did the doubt in Chu Yunge's eyes not decrease, instead, it became more and more numerous, "I want to say, is this really where the crippled Crown Prince, Baili Cang, is imprisoned? Why is it so much better than the cells the others are in? And the security measures are so low, it's really easy to get out of jail. "

Since this was made of wood, wouldn't breaking out of the prison be easy? If he were to break two pieces of wood with his palm, he would be able to come out.

"I think so. Only the former crown prince would be able to live in such a room, although logically speaking, the crippled crown prince is also someone with great authority, in order to ensure that his former advisors would not rob the prison, they would definitely place him in an iron prison. But at the same time, the crippled crown prince was also the only person who did not directly clash with Baili Lan in the past. "

Feng Yi observed the furnishings in the cell while explaining to Chu Yunge, "You used to stay in the harem often, so naturally you wouldn't know. I heard from the minister that the crown prince was originally highly regarded and had a broad mind, so he didn't easily make friends with others. Thus, I have never felt sad for my younger brothers and sisters. But Baili Lan had his own ambitions for a long time, so he plotted and framed a few years later. He let the other princes frame the crown prince's Eastern Palace as having accumulated a large amount of weapons in order to force him to usurp power. However, the crown prince was still his eldest son after all, and had been carefully nurtured by the late emperor for many years. The late emperor couldn't bear to be harsh on him, so he confined him here, giving him a decent life.

The Crown Prince's master also wanted to wait for the late emperor's anger to subside before bringing up the matter again, proposing to reopen the trial to help the Crown Prince redress the grievances. But no one would have thought that half a year after the crown prince was sentenced and imprisoned in the State Supervisor Temple, the emperor of the Bright Moon Kingdom would suddenly explode and pass away. Before the late emperor passed away, an imperial edict had been prepared, and if anything happened, Baili Lan would act as supervisor. Afterwards, he naturally became the Emperor.

After Baili Lan ascended the throne, it did not take long for him to find all sorts of reasons to send those ministers with orders into the State Supervisor Temple, including the Crown Prince's master. Without an old official, the new official would never be angered by a crown prince that he had never seen before. Thus, no one dared to speak of this matter lightly. The matter regarding the crown prince was still on the back burner, and no one cared about it.

Perhaps Baili Lan himself knew that he was guilty and knew that he had let down his big brother in the past. Thus, after the late emperor's death, he treated the crippled crown prince like before. "Therefore, the treatment of being locked up in a cell is also better than others."

After listening to Feng Yi's explanation, Chu Yunge nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is. No wonder the guard from before said that Baili Cang can change clothes and bathe. It looks like that Baili Lan wasn't completely black-hearted. "

"Maybe, but I don't think it's that simple." As Feng Yi was speaking, he pointed to the bed at the southern corner of the cell. The bed was a step bed with a curtain made of silk, and half of the curtain was down, revealing the figure of a person who was sleeping on the bed.

"Is that person the crippled crown prince?"
