After Si Zhengyang appeared at the palace banquet, he was taken away by Meng Yihuan’s men. He assumed he was being taken to the Crown Prince’s Estate, believing his mother would forgive him. After all, she had raised him with her own hands; though she did not give birth to him, he felt that should count for more.
To his great disappointment, however, he was not taken to the Crown Prince’s Estate. Instead, he was sent back to that demonic academy. This time, guards were stationed to watch over him, and he knew he would never escape again. When the academy’s perverted master learned of his attempted flight, he subjected him to even more twisted tortures—inhuman agonies that he could not even bring himself to speak of.
Six months later, he was finally tortured to the brink of death, his limbs crippled, unable even to stand. Only then did he truly understand that his mother had completely abandoned him. But why? Even if he wasn't her biological son, he had called her "mother" for so many years; she had raised him from childhood. Could she truly have no affection for him at all?
