The bug entered his mouth, and at that moment, a feeling of nausea came over him. Gu Jingxu turned sideways and wanted to vomit, but Su Yanzhi pressed her shoulders and lips, and completely ate the bug.

"Cough cough cough..."

The insect had entered his throat, so Su Yanzhi let him go. As soon as he let go, he held on to the bed and kept coughing, his eyes were scarlet, and the chain on his wrist kept making caracara sounds because of his movements.

When Su Yanzhi saw Gu Jingxu swallowing the worm, his smile instantly dimmed. His handsome face was particularly gloomy and cruel at the moment, "You are so good, Jingxu... You must be more obedient in the future."

Gu Jingxu focused on Su Yanzhi. After the poisonous insect technique is integrated into the blood, it is difficult to eliminate it. Unless the host dies, there will be no solution.

I have to say that Su Yanzhi's method of control is really ruthless, "Su Yanzhi, I will remember...everything you did to me."

"Then Your Highness, please remember it carefully. Remember it carefully, by whom you are trapped in this world, unable to survive or die."

Su Yanzhi then stood up, touched Gu Jingxu's wrist with his fingertips, rubbed the blood marks on the wrist, and took a white jade bottle from the table at hand.

After opening it, a faint aroma came out, and the cold medicine pressed against his skin, relieving his pain. Su Yanzhi's voice was calm, "But, thirty years later, I... can't say for sure.

I will let you go."

Thirty or forty years is already a long time for a person's life. At their current age, thirty or forty years may be their whole life.

In the Southern Kingdom, the regent Chu Muhen received the latest news from the secret guards from the Northern Kingdom.

"Master, this is the news that came from the North Kingdom recently."

"Well, submit it."

While looking at the document, Chu Muhen raised his hand to take the letter handed over by the secret guard. Before he opened it, he found that today's letter was different. It seemed to be thicker than usual. He frowned and opened it.

Opened the letter.

Looking at the content of the letter, his eyes were downcast, and then the letter in his hand was slowly crushed by him. It could be seen that Chu Muhen was suppressing the anger in his heart, "This king of the Northern Kingdom is really a beast, he dares to do this

Treat His Highness Proton."

Tortured day and night, isn't it a demonstration with Nanguo? He lowered his eyes, lit the candle at hand, and burned the letter on top of the candle.

"Master, do you need to take action?"

The secret guard stood in front of Chu Muhen and confirmed again. The hostage sent to the North Country was still a prince after all. How could he sit idly by when the prince was humiliated?

Chu Muhen remained silent, frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "No need, exposing our power in the North too early is not good for us. Let's wait a little longer."

"Yes, Master."

The secret guard lowered his head and responded.

Chu Muhen sighed, and then added: "Let the people in the Northern Kingdom pay close attention to His Highness's movements. If his life is endangered, they can take action at any time without coming to retaliate."

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, he knelt down to salute and then withdrew.

Chu Muhen looked at the letter paper that had been burnt to ashes, his eyes a bit gloomy, and then he picked up the pen and paper again and started writing on the letter.

In the afternoon, Gu Jingxi was counting the fish in the small pond in the pavilion. While counting, he was waiting for Chu Muhen to bring him news. There had been no news from the north for several days, and he could not remember clearly.

Except for the first news, which was a bit shocking, the rest of the news was that everything was fine and well.

After Chu Muhen took care of the important affairs of the court, he went to the backyard and saw Gu Jingxi lying beside the pavilion like a little bird. He couldn't help but stop and look at him from outside the pavilion.

The gentle breeze blew the hair of the young man in the pavilion, and the black hair fell on the round shoulders, casting a somewhat gloomy and elegant face, soft and harmless.

Originally, the Second Highness should have been a well-protected "little rabbit", but now, he had to face the cruel things of the royal family. He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes with a hint of helplessness, and he went up the steps.

After taking a few steps, the person who was staring at the pool looked back. When he saw him, his eyes were filled with more expectation, "Is there any news?"

Chu Muhen smiled and raised the letter in his hand, "Well, there is news."

Gu Jingxi took two steps forward, took the letter and opened it casually. The few words he expected made him feel a little abnormal, "Why is this still news?"

"It's nothing. The northern royal family needs to choose a concubine recently. Come to think of it, His Royal Highness can't be taken into consideration. Therefore, no one is making things difficult."

Chu Muhen sat down, casually took the fish food on the table, sprinkled some into the pool, and looked at the fish in the pool fighting for food, his eyes downcast.

"Yeah……"

Gu Jingxi frowned and sat down, still feeling a little strange, but he had no other choice but to believe Chu Muhen.

"By the way, Your Majesty, your health seems to be getting worse and worse these days. How did you learn during the Prince's trip?"

Chu Muhen put down the fish food in his hand and looked at Gu Jingxi.

Gu Jingxi's appearance made it easy to deceive those foreign ministers, but her character was indeed surprisingly gentle, not the character of a monarch at all.

"I……"

He didn't know if it was because of a guilty conscience, but with Chu Muhen staring at him like this, he inevitably felt a little flustered. He wanted to say that he had learned enough, but he didn't seem to have the confidence.

Hesitantly, he could only stare at Chu Muhen without speaking.

Being stared at by a pair of beautiful big eyes, Chu Muhen was really helpless. Looking at this look, he knew that Gu Jingxi didn't take his words seriously at all, "Do you want the entire Southern Kingdom to be buried with you, Your Highness?"

.”

"I don't!"

Gu Jingxi gritted her teeth and subconsciously denied and resisted.

Chu Muhen smiled coldly, "Since you don't have any, just study hard and learn from His Highness the Crown Prince how to do things, how to behave, and how to face difficulties."

"I know."

Gu Jingxi's face turned a little paler. These days, he was studying really hard and trying very hard to become as calm as his brother. But it is not that easy for a person to change.

No matter what he did, he would never be able to become the Crown Prince.

Chu Muhen looked at Gu Jingxi who was about to cry again and sighed, "Don't let tears shine in your eyes. I've told you this many times."

"..."

Gu Jingxi gritted her teeth. When she heard this, she instantly held back her tears and stared at Chu Muhen.

The man sitting there nodded at the stone table, then stood up, "Come with me, I will teach you how to interrogate prisoners."

"Can you enter the dungeon?"

Gu Jingxi suddenly thought of blood. She felt dizzy and her face turned a lot whiter, but she still nodded obediently, "I went in, saw blood, and then fainted."

Chu Muhen: "..."

After hearing this, Chu Muhen remained silent and gloomy all the way.

Gu Jingxi didn't hear a word from Chu Muhen until she walked to the dungeon.

He casually ordered the guards in front of the dungeon to leave, and then took Gu Jingxi into the dark cell. It was a dark place with no light. It was very damp everywhere. In the corners, some snakes, insects, rats and the like crawled from time to time.

Gu Jingxi looked at the situation and tightened her grip on Chu Muhen's shoulders.

Being suddenly grabbed by the shoulder, Chu Muhen lowered his eyebrows, then raised his hand to push Gu Jingxi's hand away, "Your Highness, you should know how to interrogate me in the dungeon."

"..."

Gu Jingxi looked around, then shook his head silently. He really didn't know what to do. Although he had been here before, most of them were accompanied by others and interrogated prisoners alone.

Like this.

Seeing Gu Jingxi's innocent face, Chu Muhen shook his head, then clapped his hands and asked someone to bring a prisoner up.

The person who was brought up had lost his vitality, but still looked dissatisfied, with disdain on his face.

Chu Muhen glanced at the man, raised his eyes, and stared at Gu Jingxi, "Your Highness probably knows about Hexi's hijacking of tributes and officials' abuse of power for personal gain. This person is one of the main criminals."

"Your Highness, today's task is to get him to recruit his accomplices, no matter what means or... punishment."

Chu Muhen looked at the lifeless man again, with a cold look, "As long as you don't die, you can do whatever you want. Your Highness, if he doesn't do it today, you will be the one to suffer that night."

"Because, I, I will teach you...but I will receive some benefits."
