Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Seeing the present scene before him, Han Ye was dumbfounded.

First, there was the sudden appearance of the black-clad figure, then the unexpected arrival of the carriage, followed by the black-clad figure throwing Xiao Liulang into the carriage without hesitation. Anyone would assume that there was another of Xiao Liulang's allies inside the carriage, right?

But why... was it the Emperor inside?

Could it be that the Emperor had already learned about Xiao Liulang's true identity?

No, the Crown Prince had said that the Emperor didn’t know!

Besides, if the Emperor truly came for Xiao Liulang, he would never travel incognito!

The Emperor was merely passing by!

The Emperor's group consisted of three people: the Emperor himself, Zhang Dequan, and a martial expert from the imperial guard who was also serving as the coachman.

The coachman was highly skilled, but unfortunately, he couldn't match Han Ye, a top expert of Shengdu. He tried to resist but was still sent flying by the sword's qi.

This led to the subsequent splitting of the carriage.

As for Xiao Liulang, who had been thrown into the carriage by the other black-clad figure——

Well, that was the coachman’s negligence.

It was the first time he had seen a man who looked like a celestial being, and he was momentarily dazed.

At this moment, Xiao Heng was lying on the floor of the carriage. The death warrior threw him roughly, but he actually used a bit of finesse, so Xiao Heng didn't hurt himself; he just appeared quite disheveled.

He had been snatched directly from his bed, with no time to disguise himself in women's clothing. He wore only thin white sleepwear, his jet-black hair like glossy ink draped over his shoulders and body, covering most of his face.

He was confused.

He had no idea whose carriage he had fallen into.

The first thing he saw was two pairs of finely made shoes, one of which looked especially elegant and regal. Instinctively, he glanced up at the owners of the shoes.

...He only recognized Zhang Dequan.

He didn't recognize the almost bald Emperor.

——This showed the importance of a hairstyle.

In any case, whether he recognized them or not didn't matter anymore, because the Emperor had seen him.

The moment Xiao Heng looked up, his long hair slipped off his face, revealing his features fully to the Emperor.

The Emperor even forgot to pursue the fact that he had almost been killed. He just stared fixedly at the face right before him.

But Xiao Heng remembered he was fleeing for his life.

He glanced back at the masked figure in black who was frozen in place. It seemed this black-clad assassin was quite wary of these two people——this was his chance to escape!

Xiao Heng scrambled to his feet, pushed past the Emperor and Zhang Dequan, squeezing between them, and jumped out the other side of the carriage without looking back!

In a moment of panic, Zhang Dequan turned around and shouted loudly at the figure disappearing into the night.

Xiao Heng was gone, and the Emperor's attention shifted back to Han Ye.

Two martial experts——one was the death warrior just purchased by the Crown Princess, and the other was unknown.

But the death warrior was protecting Xiao Liulang, while the other was there to kill Xiao Liulang. Otherwise, Xiao Liulang wouldn’t be fleeing.

The Emperor glanced at the stiff Han Ye, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes, "Capture him!"

The imperial expert serving as a coachman leaped up, drew the soft sword hidden at his waist, and slashed through the air at Han shizi.

The death warrior bought by the Crown Princess also joined the fight, and the two launched a fierce attack on Han shizi.

To be honest, the martial skills of both the imperial expert and the death warrior were formidable.

But Han shizi was far too powerful. After exchanging dozens of moves, aside from draining some of Han shizi’s energy, they had not inflicted any substantial harm on him.

Han Ye actually had opportunities to kill them, but the presence of the Emperor exerted an invisible, overwhelming pressure on him.

He couldn't continue the fight…

After another strike that forced the two people back, Han Ye feigned a move and took the chance to disappear into the night.

The coachman grabbed his wrist suddenly.

Though he didn't manage to pull Han Ye down, he tore open his sleeve and the bandage on his wound, revealing a scar that looked as if it had been gouged out.

Han Ye had left.

The death warrior also left the scene using his qinggong.

The coachman knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and apologized to the Emperor, “This servant is incompetent! Failing to capture the assassin! Imploring Your Majesty to punish this servant!”

The Emperor did not mention whether there would be punishment but instead asked Zhang Dequan, who was standing to the side, “Did you see everything just now?"

Zhang Dequan was momentarily stunned, then realized the Emperor was asking about the person who had fallen into their carriage. He recalled and said, “This servant saw it clearly; it seemed to be... His Highness the Eldest Imperial Grandson.”

The Eldest Imperial Grandson, Shangguan Qing, had followed the deposed Crown Princess to the imperial mausoleum since childhood, but due to a chronic illness, he had to return to the Imperial Advisor's Hall every two years for treatment. Every time he returned, the Emperor would gaze at him from afar from the pavilion at the Imperial Advisor's Hall.

Because Zhang Dequan often accompanied the Emperor, he had also seen the Eldest Imperial Grandson several times.

However, neither of them had ever shown their faces to him.

It wasn’t surprising that the Eldest Imperial Grandson didn't recognize them, as he had been very young when he left the imperial palace.

This was Zhang Dequan’s detailed analysis of the Eldest Imperial Grandson’s confused reaction just now.

Now, the real questions arose.

First, when did the Eldest Imperial Grandson return to Shengdu?

Second, there was still a year left until his next scheduled return for treatment. Why did he come back early? Could it be because the former Crown Princess had returned?

Third, where was he currently staying?

Fourth, this point concerned the former Crown Princess. Given the situation, if the Emperor still couldn’t figure out that the former Crown Princess sneaked out of the imperial palace tonight to rescue her son, then he would be unworthy of being the ruler of the country.

This led to the fifth question: The former Crown Princess was in the inner palace, so how did she know her son had returned? And how did she know he would be in danger tonight?

Zhang Dequan glanced weakly at the Emperor. From what he knew about the Emperor, he might start suspecting that the former Crown Princess deliberately lured him out to set him up.

But honestly, if the Emperor truly didn’t care about the former Crown Princess, he wouldn’t have fallen for such a trick.

Zhang Dequan, if you have the guts, just say it out loud!

No, I'm just a eunuch. I don’t have guts. I won’t say it.

The Emperor closed his eyes, seemingly suppressing a towering rage. No one knew if the anger was directed more at the former Crown Princess or the assassin.

“Go back! Zhen will deal with her later upon returning!” The Emperor squeezed out through gritted teeth.

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…
