The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had already passed. During this period of time, Gu Shiyi practically had no time to eat, and he diligently studied the Gu Arts day and night.

In this one month's time, Gu Shiyi had already grasped most of the things she needed. She believed that it wouldn't be long before she could officially step out.

On this day, Gu Shiyi successfully raised a gluttonous Gu, and when she raised her head, she discovered that the candle on the table had already burnt to the end, and her stomach had begun to growl in protest.

Gu Shiyi's eyes involuntarily turned to look at the table behind him. As expected, a food box had been placed there at some point in time.

Gu Shiyi walked over and opened the box. Looking at the hot food and dishes inside, she felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

Qian Mochen stood outside Gu Shiyi's window, watching her eat with satisfaction, his heart settled down again.

Behind him, Xiao Zhi had always been standing at a distance away from Qian Mochen's detection, coldly watching everything.

During this period of over a month, Gu Shiyi was often too busy to even eat, and Qian Mochen would always carefully prepare some delicious foods for her to eat before stealthily putting it in her room. This consideration of his slowly shaped the long-awaited plan in Xiao Zhi's mind.

In the dark, damp and cold dungeon in the Prince Su Palace of Great Xia Kingdom, Situ Yu sat cross-legged on the cold and damp ground with his back straight from beginning to end.

Situ Yu kept his eyes closed the entire time, he did not seem to hear anything, as though everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, Situ Yu's face started to turn red, his eyes that were tightly shut also opened. Following that, a burst of violent coughing came out from his mouth, resounding throughout the entire dungeon, and reverberating for a long time.

On the other side of the dungeon, Situ Jing watched everything inside the prison with cold eyes from a hidden room. Killing intent started to surge in his heart.

Although Situ Jing hated Situ Yu to the bones, killing him so easily was letting him off too easily.

"Punishment!"

Two extremely soft voices came out from Situ Jing's mouth, but in the opposite side of the secret room, two burly looking big men lifted Situ Yu up and down like a little chick, and brought him out of the dungeon.

The current Situ Yu, because of his weak physique and the fact that he had stayed in such a harsh environment for the past month, had already reached the point where he could stand tall and straight.

After the big sized man tied Situ Yu to the rack, he started to use all kinds of torture on.

Situ Yu fainted countless of times because he could not bear the pain brought by the torture, but every time he was woken up by the pain in the time it took to make a cup of tea.

Six hours later, Situ Yu who had already been tortured to the point of dehumanizing was thrown back into the dungeon.

Situ Jing looked at Situ Yu who had collapsed onto the ground like a pile of mud, snorted coldly and walked out of the secret room.

The pain that Situ Yu had inflicted on Gu Shiyi before, would be repaid millions of times by him.

He wanted to break his will bit by bit, letting him taste all the despair in the world bit by bit …

After a long while, Situ Yu's head that was lying on the ground finally raised up, revealing a pair of eyes that were even more sinister and terrifying than those of wraiths.

The moment Situ Jing returned to his study, he saw that Situ Ming had come again. In this period of time, Situ Ming would come to his Duke Palace almost every night to persuade him to accept the position of Emperor in the Great Xia Kingdom.

However, the current Situ Jing no longer had any lustful thoughts towards power and power. The only thing he wanted to do was to solve all the obstacles and live a happy life with Gu Shiyi.

So this time, Situ Ming was going to return empty-handed. But the more Situ Jing rejected, the more guilty he felt, and the more determined he became.

If he had not experienced life or death, he would not have been enlightened. This throne was originally taken from Situ Jing, and the only thing he wanted to live for now, was to return this throne to Situ Jing.

At the entrance of the Imperial Palace, a cold and stern gaze stared fixedly at the carriage that was entering the palace from outside. Behind him was a skinny man wearing red clothes, and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised.

"Your Highness, you have to consider this carefully. You can't be muddleheaded today, ah. If you really wait for the day when you leave others aside, then it will be too late!"

There was a loud sound, and when Situ Xun heard the voice, it was filled with pain, just like the sound of a bell ringing beside his ear, causing him to be alarmed.

"His Highness has always been the successor to the throne. Today, he has been bewitched by an adulterer, favoring them over this one and the other. He is indeed not a wise king!"

The red clothed man's voice continued. From Situ Xun's clenched fist, it could be seen that he was moved.

In the dungeon of Prince Su Palace, the Mute slave that was in charge of bringing food to Situ Yu entered the prison on time.

As usual, he passed a bowl of stale cold steamed bread through the crack in the door and placed it on the ground. However, he knocked on it three times before putting it down.

The limped footsteps of the mute slave grew further and further away. It was only until the silence of the dungeon returned again did Situ Yu, who was lying on the ground, slowly sit up.

Situ Yu crawled his way to the entrance of the prison with difficulty and spent a great deal of effort to grab the steamed bun. He broke the bun into two halves, endured the pain, and used his fingernailless fingers to dig out a piece of paper that was the length of a finger.

After observing for more than a month, Xiao Zhi finally understood the rule of resting between Gu Shiyi, Qian Mochen and the Gu Doctor.

Before dawn, everyone had already entered a state of deep sleep, which was also the darkest moment of the night.

Xiao Zhi sneaked into the Qinghua Monastery quietly and blew the smoke into the rooms of Gu Shiyi and Gu Doctor respectively. As for Qian Mochen, who had been hiding in his room all this time, he used double the amount of smoke.

After doing all of this, the Sky Dragon had already turned white. The villagers who were heading out from the countryside to the South City would occasionally pass by the Qinghua Monastery, making it especially noisy.

As for the Qing Hua Temple, they fell into silence. Xiao Zhi openly kicked open the door to Gu Shiyi's room and walked in front of Gu Shiyi's bed with brisk steps.

She looked at Gu Shiyi's face, which was extremely beautiful, even when she was sleeping. She couldn't help but take out a dagger from her sleeve and slashed towards Gu Shiyi's face.

However, just as her dagger was about to touch Gu Shiyi's face, she suddenly stopped.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Zhi retracted her dagger.
