The envoys from Sky Dragon finally left.
But the whole palace was busy because of this — they had to start preparing for Princess Yongle's wedding.
Princess Yongle's status was already first class, and this time she was going to Sky Dragon to become the queen of a country.
The Empress Dowager loved her daughter, so she was picky and at least doubled the dowry that she had prepared.
Emperor Long Qing also felt sorry for his sister, so he could only make up for it with the dowry.
All kinds of rare treasures were put into Gu Shengyin's palace.
It was said that when the officials from the Ministry of Rites counted the dowry of Princess Yongle, they even suspected that she had emptied the palace's treasury.
Everyone was busy, especially the servants who were going to follow Gu Shengyin to Sky Dragon.
Only Gu Shengyin, the main character, had the most leisure time — there was someone to do everything for her.
The only thing that made her unhappy was that from time to time some noble ladies would look at her with pity, as if it was a terrible and sad thing for her to marry into Sky Dragon.
Gu Shengyin didn't want to go again after attending two banquets in the capital.
She was really fed up with those self-righteous eyes.
Anyway, her status was high enough. If she didn't want to go, she could just reject it. There was no need to find any reason.
In this very boring situation, Gu Shengyin finally remembered the mission goal that she had forgotten.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Ying Qi since she was taken away by the shadow guards.
At first, the System would dutifully report her recent situation. Every time, it was nothing more than what the shadow guards had done to her and what she had become …
Later, Gu Shengyin simply told the System that if Ying Qi didn't do anything strange, it didn't need to tell her these things.
It affected her appetite.
It was true. The shadow guards' interrogation methods were really clever. Sometimes, just hearing the description made Gu Shengyin feel a little scared.
"Ying Yi, take me to see her."
Ying Yi was a little hesitant.
Gu Shengyin asked, "Is there a problem?"
Ying Qi bowed and said, "It's Ying Qi. Her current appearance is a little … unsightly."
Was he afraid that he would be scared?
Gu Shengyin waved her hand. "It doesn't matter. Let's go and have a look."
Ying Yi took Gu Shengyin to a dark room.
This dark room was very big, but it was very dark. There were only a few lonely oil lamps with bean-sized flames.
Against the cold gleam of some of the torture instruments, it was rather eerie.
Gu Shengyin slowly walked in. Her long and gorgeous dress dragged on the ground, becoming the only light in this dark room.
It was a cage like a small iron house.
Most of them were empty.
When they arrived at one of the small iron houses, Ying Yi made a gesture, and a shadow guard in the same gray clothes opened the door.
In the dim light, Gu Shengyin could see a skinny figure lying in the corner of the small iron house.
If it weren't for the occasional twitching of her body, she would look like a lifeless corpse.
Gu Shengyin looked at her quietly. Just from her back, even she couldn't recognize that this was the Ying Qi who looked exactly like her.
Ying Yi stood beside Gu Shengyin and said, "Ying Qi, Master is here."
The figure slowly moved and then raised her head.
Gu Shengyin sucked in a sharp breath.
This face … how did this face become like this?
