Little Jing Kong was a polite child, especially when it came to the father of his little classmate.

Sensing the old father’s embarrassment, he thought to himself, should he give him a hug to comfort him?

"Hello, Little Xue’s dad."

In the end, he chose to solemnly shake his little hand with him instead.

After all, only JiaoJiao could get a hug from him!

Lord Yanshan, who wasn’t comforted in the least bit: "…"

The Little County Princess introduced her father to Gu Jiao, then introduced her little friend and teacher to her father as well.

Only then did Lord Yanshan realize that this little girl was actually his daughter’s teacher.

"What does she teach you?"

Killing people, perhaps?

After all, back in the imperial palace, he had seen this girl slaughtering the Han Family’s trusted aides like a god of death, shooting one arrow per person, and two arrows for a pair!

She was practically born to wield a divine bow!

"Horse riding!" The Little County Princess answered in her sweet, childish voice. "Young Master Xiao is my equestrian teacher!"

Lord Yanshan secretly sighed in relief. Horse riding? Good, good, that was still fine.

Gu Jiao patted her little head. "Next time, I’ll teach you archery."

Lord Yanshan’s entire body immediately stiffened!

A vivid, blood-soaked image of his precious little girl pulling back a bowstring, an arrow piercing straight through an enemy’s skull suddenly flashed through his mind!

No, that won’t do! My delicate little lady must not turn into that!

The two little dumplings happily went off to play again.

Quite obviously, a certain little lady had absolutely no intention of sticking to her father.

Lord Yanshan felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness. He had only been away for a short while, so why did it feel like his daughter was slipping further and further away from him?

Gu Jiao cast a sidelong glance at Lord Yanshan, then turned and headed back to her room.

As she walked past him, she deliberately puffed out her small chest.

Her gaze clearly conveyed one message: their seniority was now equal.

Shangguan Yan also straightened her back and strode past him.

Humph, her seniority had already surpassed his!

This was the true definition of single-handedly elevating the entire family's rank.

Lord Yanshan, whose face was now covered in black lines: "…"

Gu Jiao first made her way over to Long Yi’s room to check on his injuries. She clearly remembered reminding him not to move around before she left, but she wasn’t sure if he had actually listened. If he had accidentally displaced the bandages and gauze, his wound could easily become infected.

However, the moment she stepped through the door, the corner of her mouth twitched violently.

Long Yi had maintained the exact posture she had last seen him in before leaving, with his body twisted at an awkward angle, one arm stretched out horizontally in front of him, while the other was raised high beside his head, as if he were about to spike a ball. He remained completely motionless, frozen in that position.

"Long Yi, what are you doing?"

She walked over and asked.

Long Yi's body remained rigid, but his eyeballs shifted slightly.

It was as if he were saying, "Look, I didn’t move."

Gu Jiao: "…"

Pressing a hand to her forehead, she thought—was this really what I meant?

He had always been so disobedient before, so why was this the one time he actually listened to her?

Gu Jiao had a sneaking suspicion that Long Yi was waiting for her to praise him.

How strange, why did she feel like she could see that expectation in his eyes?

Looking at the bandages wrapped around his arms and waist, Gu Jiao decided to go along with it. "Long Yi is so great… so obedient. Alright, you can move now."

Standing like that for too long, was he not afraid of muscle cramps?

Before she could even finish her thought, Long Yi instantly dropped his pose and, with a swift motion, pulled out a box of charcoal pencils.

——An obedient Long Yi deserved a reward, and now, it was time for Long Yi's charcoal pencils session!

Gu Jiao: "…"

Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap?

……

The Crown Prince and Han shi were handed over to the Court of Judicial Review, where the Chief Justice personally took charge of the trial concerning the fake Emperor.

The mother and son were detained in separate interrogation chambers.

At first, both remained tight-lipped, but if the Chief Justice didn’t have the means to deal with such situations, he wouldn’t be sitting in his position.

The Crown Prince was a tough bone to crack, but even he had a weakness. His soft spot was his two-year-old daughter at home.

To force a confession, the Chief Justice did not hesitate to bring his little daughter in, allowing him a single glance at her through the doorway before taking her next door.

A moment later, terrified cries of a child echoed from the adjacent room, and the Crown Prince instantly panicked. "Stop! Stop this right now! She is a princess of Great Yan! You cannot treat her like this!"

The Chief Justice replied coldly, "With the crimes you’ve committed, do you still think you have the right to be a prince? Your crimes are far worse than what Shangguan Yan did back then, and you weren’t even as favored as she was. Your entire family will be stripped of their titles and reduced to commoners!"

"Father—wuwahhh—I’m scared—Father—I’m so scared—"

Next door, the little girl’s heart-wrenching cries pierced through the walls, completely shattering the Crown Prince’s resolve.

His hands clenched tightly around his sleeves, his eyes turning red as he gritted his teeth and said, "Don’t hurt her… I’ll tell you everything… I’ll tell you everything!"

Meanwhile, in the other room, Gu Chengfeng rubbed his throat, which was nearly burning from strain.

Imitating a child's voice was way too difficult——

Honestly, it didn’t even sound that realistic.

But with a wall in between and the Crown Prince's emotions clouding his judgment, he had panicked too much to notice.

Thus, the Crown Prince confessed to his crimes.

This palace coup had little to do with him—he hadn’t been aware of Han shi’s plans beforehand. His greatest mistake was his refusal to believe that the Emperor in the imperial palace was a fake, but he had not yet caused any substantial harm.

As for Han shi leading troops to attack the real Emperor, he had no knowledge of it.

His main crime was framing the true imperial grandson, Xiao Heng.

The Chief Justice continued writing as a storm raged in his mind. Who could have imagined that the true imperial grandson had such a hidden past?

"Where is the real imperial grandson? And what is Shangguan Qing’s true identity?" the Chief Justice pressed.

The Crown Prince replied indifferently, "For those answers, you’ll have to ask Shangguan Yan. I don’t know."

Why would he waste his time on a fake imperial grandson? As for Xiao Heng, that brat had suddenly vanished from Shengdu, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a trace of him.

The Chief Justice continued his questioning. "Who did you order to do it? Was it someone from the Han Family?"

The Crown Prince clenched his fists, answering, "…The Nangong Family."

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…
