It wasn’t that Xiao Heng found the number of exposed figurines too few; he was simply curious.

But just as the thought flashed in his mind, he saw a small dog, which Imperial Noble Consort Han had raised, carrying another small figurine.

The little dog, which Imperial Noble Consort Han had grown tired of after only a few days and had given to the servants to care for, hadn’t been seen for a while. To her surprise, their reunion came in such a fatal scene.

Imperial Consort Wang frowned.

What was going on?

How did another small figurine appear?

She had only given Feng Yousheng one figure, hadn’t she?

——This figurine was the work of Imperial Consort Dong .

Imperial Consort Dong’s people had been hiding in her palace for two days, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

Burying a figure alone wasn’t enough; they had to make sure it was exposed.

Imperial Consort Wang had chosen to use the Sixth Prince, while Imperial Consort Dong had focused on Imperial Noble Consort Han’s dog.

The figurine was buried alongside some bones, not too deep, so the dog could easily dig it up.

Imperial Consort Dong had originally planned to visit Imperial Noble Consort Han to “discover” the forbidden arts in person.

However, when Imperial Consort Wang and the Commandery Office’s people surrounded Imperial Noble Consort Han’s palace, she inquired and learned that Imperial Noble Consort Han was practicing forbidden arts inside. Imperial Consort Dong then assumed it was her own figurine that had been accidentally discovered by Imperial Consort Wang and the Sixth Prince.

This was a good thing.

So that she wouldn't have to step forward.

The small figurine had Shangguan Yan’s birth date and details written on it.

The Emperor’s expression darkened even further.

He clenched his fists, trembling with anger, his whole body shaking, “Very well, imperial noble consort, very well! Someone! Search her palace! Zhen wants to see just how many vile things this poisonous woman has hidden in her quarters!”

“Yes!”

The guards from the Commandery Office responded.

The guards swiftly searched through Imperial Noble Consort Han’s palace quarters and found seven and a half small figurines.

Why seven and a half? Because one of the figurines was only half a complete one.

Xiao Heng felt his lips twitch.

This is too much, Gu Jiao! Didn’t we agree there wouldn’t be any added drama?

Gu Jiao: It’s Little Nine, humph!

Three days ago, Shangguan Yan had enlisted the help of five women from the harem, among whom Imperial Consort Wang, Imperial Consort Dong, and Imperial Lady Fang had successfully placed a figurine in Imperial Noble Consort Han’s palace.

Imperial Consort Chen and Imperial Consort Yang had failed.

However, that didn’t stop them from coming to watch the spectacle.

The two of them arrived at the scene at the same time as Imperial Consort Dong and Imperial Lady Fang.

Imperial Lady Fang bowed to the three others.

The three exchanged polite greetings.

After the formal and somewhat pretentious greetings, the four of them went to Imperial Noble Consort Han’s small garden.

When they saw the seven and a half figurines laid out on the stone table, their expressions froze in shock.

Imperial Lady Fang, Imperial Consort Dong , Imperial Consort Wang: I only placed one figurine!

Imperial Consort Chen and Imperial Consort Yang: I didn’t manage to place anything in there at all!

The five of them were completely dumbfounded.

Imperial Noble Consort Han was just as confused.

Imperial Consort Wang, are you crazy?

Do you need this many figurines to frame me?

And how exactly did you manage to get them all in here!!!

These little cursed figurines were mostly the work of Little Nine.

Little Nine couldn’t bury them like the others did, digging a hole to hide them; instead, they were hung on trees, thrown into bird nests, or left on the roofs.

Ordinarily, people wouldn't hide things like this, and it was impressive that the guards of the Commandery Office were able to find them. One had to admit, the Commandery Office’s guards were truly exceptional.

These cursed figurines had been exposed to the wind and rain, getting dirty in the process, but it was still clear that they were freshly made, not long ago.

Imperial Noble Consort Han had no way to defend herself, “Your Majesty! Please believe this consort!”

No, the Emperor only believed in himself.

The Emperor did not disappoint Xiao Heng’s expectations, once again beginning his powerful imagination.

These cursed figurines were made just recently. From him to Shangguan Yan, and then to Shangguan Qing, all were pierced by Imperial Noble Consort Han, showing that her anger was aimed at the three of them.

Just a few days ago, he had deposed the Crown Prince and reinstated Shangguan Yan’s title as the Third Princess.

These two events were directly related, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Crown Prince’s position was lost because of Shangguan Yan.

Her own son had been deposed, so she harbored resentment, blaming the culprit Shangguan Yan and the biased Emperor. She even grew so angry that she sought to harm Shangguan Qing, whose life was already nearing its end.

This clearly showed how malicious she was!

Xiao Heng could tell from the Emperor’s gradually darkening expression that the Emperor had already believed most of it. After all, the Emperor was suspicious by nature—he had even turned the loyal Xuanyuan Family into victims of his paranoia. What more could be expected of the already restless Imperial Noble Consort Han?

However, the act of creating cursed figurines had its flaws.

It was uncertain whether Imperial Noble Consort Han would notice them.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”

In the midst of her panic, Imperial Noble Consort Han suddenly had a flash of inspiration, “Your Majesty! This consort would never make only half of them!”

Xiao Heng: “That half of the figurine corresponds to His Majesty. Were you planning to tear His Majesty to pieces?”

Imperial Noble Consort Han: “...!!”

Imperial Noble Consort Han: “Your Majesty! This consort is innocent! This consort has no reason to do such a thing! I understand, Your Majesty, that you think this consort is angry because I am standing up for the Second Prince, but Your Majesty, this consort hates Shangguan Yan because ever since she returned to the capital, she has been constantly opposing the Crown Prince! This consort has every reason to dislike her and deal with her, but what reason would this consort have to harm Your Majesty? My son is no longer the Crown Prince; even if something were to happen to Your Majesty, it would not be him who would inherit the throne!”

What was even more important was that the Crown Prince was deposed on charges of attempting to assassinate the Emperor. Since his crime had not been cleared, should anything happen to the Emperor, he would be the prime suspect.

His chances of inheriting the throne were the lowest.

Imperial Noble Consort Han, unless she had lost her mind, would never do something so futile and ungrateful.

The Emperor might believe she harbored resentment towards him, but he would never believe she would go so far as to make herself a pawn for another imperial prince.

Xiao Heng, watching Imperial Noble Consort Han suddenly come up with an idea, once again marveled at how no woman in the imperial harem could be considered foolish.

It seemed that the elderly woman’s prediction was spot on.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
