n.I just don't know how long I waited.He didn't know how long he had waited, it seemed as if the general had only just gone up there a short while ago, yet also as if he had never come down at all.Nin...That night, the pearl illuminated the place, and Ning Shu saw everything clearly.

This place resembled a water prison, but it was long abandoned. There were unlit candles nearby, along with some torture instruments, which gave me a shiver down my spine.

Bai Li Mo leaned against the wall, his expression deeper than usual.

Ning Shu followed the man's gaze and saw a black whip. The whip seemed to still have a trace of dried blood on it, which was rather shocking.

The man's face looked strangely pale for some reason. His narrow eyes couldn't tell what emotions were hidden inside, and he spoke in a low voice: "Ying Qi, come here."

The boy walked over and was grabbed tightly by a large hand.

That force was very great.

Ning Shu frowned slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable, and asked, "Your Highness"

Bai Li Mo sneered, "Do you know what this place used to be"

Ning Shu shook his head, unaware.

The incomparably handsome man had a faint expression, but his tone was icy as he said, “I have been imprisoned here for three years since I was five.” He sneered, “Everyone says she is the most virtuous and elegant queen, but they don’t know that she is a lunatic.”

Bai Li Mo raised his face, using some creepy tone to say: "Ying Qi, you guess, how did she torment this king."

She has bound me here, day and night, having snakes bite me, and whipping me.

These are light.

She also used an iron to brand the king on his back, leaving several scars....

Ning Shu was momentarily stunned.

Only then did he realize who the man was talking about, the late old dowager empress, also Baili Mo's mother.

He felt a chill just from listening to the other person's every word.

Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub, let alone one's own mother.

Even though Ning's parents hadn't given him much love, they hadn't been this cruel. For a moment, Ning Shu felt a complex mix of emotions.

Bai Li Mo extended his hand and placed it upon the boy's slender neck.

Those narrow eyes looked over, dark and said, “If you betray this king, I will make you suffer more.”

"It's better to be dead."

"Yingqi, don't disappoint me."

......

Within the palace, some assassins were killed and others captured, but one managed to escape.

Ying'er said in a cold voice, “My lord, the spies in the palace have also been caught by us.”

Mo Bai Li sneered, "Give this king a good torment."

The imperial physicians from the capital were brought over and after tending to the prince’s wounds, night fell.

Tonight's events were too thrilling.

But Shadow Four didn't come to their rescue, and even the Royal Manor was easily breached. Even if Ning Shu was slow-witted, she could sense something was wrong.

Could it be that Bai Li Mo did this on purpose

Not only will this expose the enemy once again, but it will also flush out the spies, forcing them to change their plans after being alarmed...

Perhaps it could be a win-win-win situation.

Ning Shu didn't quite understand some things, everything was just his guess. But what made him feel a chill down his spine was what Bai Li Mo said to him.

If he really were a spy.

I'm afraid it was already exposed under Bai Limu's eyes, the kind that wouldn't leave even a bone.

"What are you still standing there for Come over here and warm my bed."

A man's deep voice came.

Ning Shu felt that Bai Li Mo might be suspicious of her, after all, she was still somewhat different from the original owner. Not to mention, he was a person from ancient times. This kind of suspicious and sensitive personality was like walking on a knife's edge. If she wasn't careful, she would be shattered to pieces.

But he couldn't help himself, his apricot eyes looked over and said: "This subordinate will never betray the prince in this lifetime."

Bai Li Mo's narrow eyes narrowed: "Turn around."

Ning Shu was a little dazed, but she still obediently turned her body.

Then, a deep voice commanded, "Turn your back on me and get down."

The young man was a bit confused.

I don't understand what the prince wants to do, but because this man is unpredictable, I'd better just obey him.

Then he heard Bai Li Mo's voice, slightly rough and husky, say, "Pass me the chopsticks."

That big hand patted his butt lightly.

Ning Shu couldn't help but shiver, hesitatingly said: "Your Highness"

Just as I was about to turn back, the man warned me in a low voice.

The boy could only obediently lie down.

I don't know how long it took.

Ning Shu only felt a muffled grunt from Bai Li Mo, and his groin felt a little numb. He was very puzzled in his heart, why did Bai Li Mo point his sword at him this time....n this handsome young man in front of her.She was also very confident in herself, after all, she was the prettiest one among all the people here.For this, she even used up the last bit of water, clean...
