When they fell to the ground, a stone door suddenly opened on the stone wall and two people walked out. They were a man and a woman.

The woman was dressed in a bright yellow imperial robe that represented the emperor. Her aura was solemn and unusual. The man was dressed in white and held a fan in his hand. The two of them walked towards Su Yan and Gu Ruoyun one after the other.

The woman was the first to speak, “Rong Zhi, is this really the Guang Pingwang from the Imperial Kingdom?”

Rong Zhi took a step back and bowed, “Your Majesty, I’ve fought with Guang Pingwang before. It’s him.”

The woman carefully observed the person on the ground. She frowned at Su Yan and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s bring him back.”

Rong Zhi gently clapped his hands. A few black shadows quickly appeared and took the two people on the ground away.

The woman said uneasily, “Rong Zhi, we’ve managed to capture Gu Ruoyun so easily. I am deeply disturbed.”

Rong Zhi stepped forward and gently held the woman in his arms. “Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry. Our plan this time was flawless. It’s not surprising that Gu Ruoyun did not notice it.”

The woman glanced at Rong Zhi beside her. Her eyes were filled with a trace of warmth as she said, “Call me Feichen.”

Rong Zhi had a gentle and elegant smile on his face as he replied, “Feichen.”

Jin Feichen smiled in satisfaction as she gently leaned into Rong Zhi’s embrace.

Gu Ruoyun and Su Yan were brought into the dungeon. Gu Ruoyun opened his eyes as soon as the person who had brought them here had left. He had no sign of fainting at all. He had been faking it just now. He had sealed his breath at the first possible moment, the poisonous smoke had no effect on him.

He had clearly heard the conversation between Jin Feichen and Rong Zhi just now. He knew that the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was behind all this. Now that he knew who his opponent was, there was no need to be anxious.

Su Yan was still unconscious at the side. Gu Ruoyun placed her in a clean place and began to observe the surroundings of the dungeon.

There were three walls on each side. One side was surrounded by an iron railing that was as thick as an arm. There was a large lock hanging on the iron door. Gu Ruoyun was not sure if this lock was sturdy. He glanced at it casually but was not in a hurry to leave, instead, he stood by Su Yan’s side and closed his eyes to rest.

He only opened his eyes when he heard some noise.

Rong Zhi was not surprised that he would wake up. He said directly, “Guang Pingwang hasn’t been unconscious, has you?”

Gu Ruoyun looked at him coldly and asked, “What do you want?” 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Rong Zhi smiled and replied, “I do need Guang Pingwang’s help on a matter.”

Gu Ruoyun replied, “What makes you think that I will help you?”

Rong Zhi was not flustered. He glanced at Su Yan who was on the ground and said, “You will.”

Gu Ruoyun suddenly said, “I never thought that Seventh Prince would become the enemy’s favorite servant.”

Rong Zhi’s expression changed. A moment later, he smiled and said, “How would Guang Pingwang know about my pain?”

His voice no longer carried a smile but his eyes were filled with malice.

Gu Ruoyun confirmed what he was thinking and said, “Tell me, how do you want me to help you?”

Rong Zhi cupped his hands and bowed. “You only need to stay in this prison for a while. I don’t dare to trouble Guang Pingwang to do the rest.”

Gu Ruoyun replied, “I’ll leave in three days.”

Rong Zhi knew that this was his greatest limit of tolerance. He did not speak and bowed respectfully before leaving.

…

The Southern Kingdom had suddenly decided to send troops to attack the Imperial Kingdom. When other countries heard this news, they all thought that the Southern Kingdom had gone mad.

Later on, it was rumored that the Southern Kingdom had placed Guang Pingwang, Gu Ruoyun, under house arrest. This news shook the entire mainland. Spies from many countries had gathered in the Southern Kingdom to investigate whether this news was true or false.

If it was true, perhaps they could get a share of the spoils of war between the Southern Kingdom and the Imperial Kingdom.. For a moment, the thoughts of the emperors from surrounding countries wavered.
