The Crown Prince turned his head to glance at Gu Chengyu, only to see that the other's jade-like countenance remained calm and composed under the reflection of the firelight.
Watching the scarlet branding iron leave a deep mark on Zhou Yuancong's chest, a burnt smell wafted through the cell, making the Crown Prince's throat itch.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu still remained unmoved, the Crown Prince couldn't help but secretly criticize him in his mind, surprised that such a graceful person could remain indifferent in the face of such brutal punishment, showing the extent of his ruthlessness.
It seems Father was absolutely right to appoint him to the Dali Temple. Father's judgment in selecting people is still accurate, as Gu Chengyu is indeed resolute and full of strategy.
Suppressing the nausea in his heart, he chose to avert his eyes from Zhou Yuancong and instead directed them towards the pleasing sight of Gu Chengyu.
