In the dungeon of the Southland Regent's Mansion, Gu Jingxi stood covered in blood. There was some blood on his fingers, face, and clothes. In front of him, there were three people lying upside down, two of whom had no human appearance.

It was impossible to tell whether it was day or night in the dungeon, and before he knew it, he had been interrogating those people in the dungeon for several hours.

In the past few hours, he didn't stop for a moment, trying various ways to get these people to talk, but it seemed that these people were very guarded, and he didn't know what they were insisting on.

Looking at the several people lying on the ground in despair, he went from fear to calmness. Later, he no longer cared about the blood on his body. He squatted down and said in a cold and dark voice, "You still don't want to say anything? You... are really sincere.

Lord.”

"Okay, Your Highness would like to see how you can resist."

…

Outside the dungeon, Chu Muhen stood silently. The injuries on his body made him look a little pale. But he still stood, silently looking at the darkness in the dungeon, as if he was also waiting for something.

"Master, His Highness is inside..."

The attendant reported.

And Chu Muhen raised his hand to express silence, "...I know that Your Highness...is the one who should be put on trial."

It is time to grow up, so that in the future, you can stand on your own, face the courtiers alone, and no longer be a fledgling hiding behind others, and will not be coerced by others...

His voice was silent, and he raised his eyes, looking at the moon that had risen at an unknown time. The sunset had not completely set, but the moon had risen first.

Under the simultaneous glow of the sun and the moon, the moonlight always looks dull, but only in complete darkness, you will find that the moonlight can also be bright and dazzling, just like Jingxi... as bright as the moon.

After a while, a secret guard came forward and said, "Master, it's time to go back and take medicine. Your Highness should not encounter any threats here."

Chu Muhen lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "Well, keep a good watch and don't let His Highness get hurt."

"Yes, Master."

…

The cool wind picked up, making it slightly chilly. After Chu Muhen stood for a while, he turned around, coughed twice, and then turned around and left.

…

After another half an hour, one of them finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "I said..."

Gu Jingxi's eyes were already red. He looked at the man coldly and said hoarsely, "Then tell me who sent him."

"King Heisei Gu Qingnian..."

"Uncle Seventh Emperor?"

Gu Jingxi frowned. King Pingcheng Gu Qingnian was not in the Imperial City of the Southern Kingdom, but thousands of miles away. If he wanted to assassinate the regent, he did not have that much power. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, "What's the evidence?"

"The letter...in the innermost room on the south road in the north of the city, there is...a letter from King Heisei."

Gu Jingxi: "..."

He stood up silently, tightened the key in his hand, then turned around and opened the door. The jailer outside immediately came in, bending down and saying, "Your Highness, you have finished your interrogation."

Gu Jingxi placed the blood-stained key on the table, and a few drops of blood fell on her fingertips. "Find them a doctor... don't let them die. Your Highness will come back tomorrow."

He said a little tiredly, and slowly walked out with heavy steps. He didn't know what he was thinking. But the jailer took the key respectfully and responded, "Your Highness."

After walking out of the cell, Gu Jingxi stopped and looked at the rising moonlight. He was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have calmed down and stood still. He looked at the blood on his fingertips and realized that he was afraid.

.

He immediately wiped the blood on his fingertips with his own clothes, and suddenly thought of something again, "Has he... not taken the medicine yet?"

After calming down for a moment, he quickened his steps because he suddenly remembered that he wanted to see the regent.

Before going to see him, he washed himself specially to remove the smell of blood from his body.

"Prince Regent? Are you in the house? Let me... check on you."

He quietly walked to Chu Muhen's bedroom, pushed open the room, and shouted in a low voice and fear.

There was no sound in the room. It was so silent that even the coquettish sizzle of the candles could be heard clearly. There was no special light. He poked his head inside and saw no one.

Silently, he opened some more doors and walked in slowly. When he saw the medicine bowl on the table, he took a long breath. Fortunately, he had used up the medicine.

"Chu...Chu Muhen? Are you here?"

I plucked up the courage and tentatively called out again, but still didn't get any response, which left me feeling confused.

After walking two more steps in, he realized that Chu Muhen was already lying on the bed and asleep. He walked slowly over and knelt down beside the bed. With the soft light, he looked at the bed.

people.

He bent down, poked the person on the bed with his fingertips, blinked his eyes, and whispered softly, "I found out that he is the Seventh Emperor, but I don't know the reason. I will check tomorrow."

"I'm so tired today and want to sleep."

After saying that, he began to take off his clothes, muttering as he took them off, "I saw blood today, and I...I'm afraid of sleeping alone. I'll lend it to you for one day. I can...sleep by myself tomorrow."
