Perhaps because Gu Shiyi's gaze was too hot and straightforward, Gu Morou sensed something. She suddenly raised her head, and after looking at Gu Shiyi for a moment, she continued to sing her extravagant and obscene melody.
Gu Shiyi waited until the guests had all dispersed and it was deep into the night before she carefully walked out of her room and went straight to the courtyard where the female slaves lived.
Although the female slaves were dancers of this border tavern, and they could see the scenery during their performances, the truth was that their real encounters here were even worse than a dog.
Over a hundred female slaves were squeezed together in a small but airless room. They didn't even have a bed or a blanket, and could only sleep on a thin layer of straw.
Due to the long period of lack of ventilation and humidity, the hay had already become moldy and rotten. In addition to the various body odors, the smell in the room was extremely unpleasant.
In about the time it took to make a cup of tea, Gu Shiyi finally pushed open the door and entered. It took him a long time of effort to find the unconscious Gu Morou, then she pulled her on his back and carried her out.
It was fortunate that she had been doing crude work all year round, allowing her to effortlessly bring Gu Morou away.
Inside the horse house, there was a cellar that she had dug slowly and secretly for the past two years, a place specially for feeding her little poisons. But now, that place was the best place to place Gu Morou.
When she finally opened her eyes, she was completely stunned by the sight in front of her and the place she was staying. Fortunately, Gu Shiyi had stood in front of her in time to let her see the person who was still alive, allowing her to recover from her shock and fear.
Gu Shiyi's reaction to Gu Morou was already normal, it was as if other than her, anyone else who woke up to be surrounded by venomous scorpions and spiders, staring at them covetously would be scared silly. Gu Morou's mental fortitude made her see him in a higher light.
But thinking about it, Gu Shiyi also thought that it was nothing. Wasn't Gu Morou's mental fortitude always like this?
It wasn't easy for Gu Morou to see her alive, she wanted to pounce over and ask for help, but suddenly half of her body fell to the ground, and only then did she realise that her body was tied up with a rope.
"I beg of you, please let me go. I don't know anything, I don't have anything!"
Gu Morou immediately acted like she was in a very pitiful state, begging for mercy repeatedly.
"As long as you answer a few questions honestly, I will let you go and let you go!"
Gu Shiyi sat on the chair in front of Gu Morou and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. Although it looked normal, it was filled with respect and awe.
Gu Morou did not immediately agree. Instead, she calculated once again the authenticity of the person in front of him.
"If you can grant me my freedom, how can I trust you?"
Now that she had changed even herself, it looked like Gu Morou was truly tempted.
"If you don't believe me, I don't mind becoming the food for these kids right away!"
The corner of Gu Shiyi's mouth formed an evil smile, and used a domineering air that was completely natural. If she believed in her, she would give her freedom. If she didn't believe in her, she could immediately make her live a life worse than death!
Gu Morou's body could not help but tremble once again. The person in front of him, who was unknown whether he was a man or a woman, although his clothes were ordinary, was completely different from the previous Crown Prince Situ Xun. It seemed that this person was not an ordinary person, and might even have the ability to grant her freedom.
She might as well gamble with it. Moreover, she didn't have any choice at all.
Furthermore, all the female slaves from the Great Xia Kingdom knew what was going on. How could she give such a great opportunity for it to slip away?
"Ask away, I will tell anything I know."
Gu Morou clenched her teeth, it was just answering a few questions, to her, it was as easy as flipping her hand.
"I haven't been to Great Xia Kingdom in three years. What big things have happened to my Great Xia Kingdom in these three years?"
Gu Shiyi did not tell her the truth that she knew Gu Morou's identity. That would only alert her too early and would cause her to become suspicious.
"In the year 678 of the true calendar, the crown prince had lost his virtue and was crippled. In the year 679 of the true calendar, the sixth prince was appointed crown prince. In the year 680 of the true calendar, the emperor passed away, and the sixth prince ascended the throne!"
The expression in Gu Morou's eyes became a little sad, but there wasn't a trace of doubt in her heart about Gu Shiyi's question, and the reason she fell into such a predicament was also because of those three things.
Situ Xun had been crippled, Situ Ming had died, and Situ Yu was now in power, so what about Situ Jing? Situ Jing and Situ Yu had always been like fire and water. Since Situ Yu had become the emperor, he would definitely not let him off the hook.
Gu Shiyi once again felt a wave of unease. Situ Yu would always torture her like this when he was his favorite, so even if such a weak Situ Jing were to fall into his hands, Gu Shiyi still wouldn't dare to imagine what kind of consequences would occur.
"Sixth Prince? But why haven't I heard of his name in all my years in the desert? The person who hears the most is the Prince Su who is known as the living King of Hell! "
Gu Shiyi revealed a face full of disdain, as if she was extremely looking down on this strange army that had suddenly appeared in the end, the Sixth Prince who had ascended to the great treasure.
"Prince Su? Long before the crown prince was crippled, he had already disappeared, so there was no sign of any Prince Su in the Great Xia Kingdom. "
The corner of Gu Morou's mouth curled into an undetectable sneer. Ever since the disappearance of the Prince Su, his Great Xia Kingdom had changed completely and his current Capital Xia was no longer the Capital Xia of the past.
Gu Shiyi disappeared, which meant that she did not fall into Situ Yu's hands. Then, where was he now?
But why was he missing?
"I also heard that there's an Immortal's Workshop in the Great Xia Kingdom, and Cheng Suyi is the most tactful there. What about her?"
It had to be said that Cheng Suyi had once been her greatest love rival, and she had always been deeply engraved in her heart. Besides Situ Jing, he was the only one she had ever paid attention to.
"Cheng Suyi? Ha, ha, Cheng Suyi? That woman is truly not simple at all. She used the body of a woman to replace the Gu Xiang who was once the Prime Minister for more than ten years, and became a powerful and popular official in the Great Xia Kingdom! "
Gu Morou's eyes were sinister, even talking about the Situ Yu that caused her to fall into such a predicament was not as scary as her expression when talking about Cheng Suyi right now.
The way he grinded his teeth seemed to only want to tear Cheng Suyi's flesh and drink her blood!
