The Little County Princess was so small that in the crowd of students in their teens and twenties, she became barely noticeable, easily lost among them.

“But that person is really…”

Zhang Dequan's gaze was once again involuntarily drawn to Xiao Heng.

Why did he keep wanting to look at that young lady?

As a eunuch, he couldn’t possibly be feeling attracted to a young lady, could he?

After a few more glances, Zhang Dequan attributed his curiosity to Xiao Heng's captivating phoenix eyes.

Her eyes were long and narrow, with slightly upturned corners, full of life but calm and steady.

Both the Crown Princess and Empress Xuanyuan had the same kind of phoenix eyes, which carried a calm and alluring quality, far beyond the innocence of almond-shaped eyes.

Anyone who glimpsed such eyes would find it difficult to look away.

Zhang Dequan was so absorbed in watching that he didn’t even notice that the Little County Princess had already come out of the academy.

She came out together with Little Jing Kong, and since Little Jing Kong didn’t know her family, the moment he saw his "bad brother-in-law," he led Little County Princess over.

Thus, Xiao Heng saw a little dumpling leading another little dumpling through the crowd.

Little Jing Kong had one bookbag on his back and was holding another in his arms.

Children couldn’t always tell the gender of other children, but as an adult, Xiao Heng could still distinguish it.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows at Little Jing Kong, wondering what was going on.

Little Jing Kong said seriously, “This is my deskmate.” Then he turned his head and introduced Xiao Heng to the Little County Princess, “My big bro... sister.”

The Little County Princess politely said, “h.e.l.lo, big sister, I’m Little Xue.”

The corner of Xiao Heng's mouth twitched. You rascal, I sent you to school to study, not to bring back a little girl.

Little Jing Kong explained to the Little County Princess, “My big sister can’t speak.”

“Oh.” The Little County Princess, suddenly filled with the mentality of an elder, immediately looked at Xiao Heng with the kind, sympathetic eyes one would use for a younger relative with a disability.

Xiao Heng: "..."

……

Meanwhile, at the Crown Prince Estate, a guard hurriedly approached the entrance of the study, "Your Highness, there is news from Han shizi's side!"

The Crown Prince put down the doc.u.ment in his hand, "Quick, come in!"

"Yes!"

The guard entered, cupped his hands in salute to the Crown Prince, and said seriously, "Han shizi's confidant just came by with two pieces of news: one bad and one good."

The Crown Prince frowned and said, "At a time like this, why bother with what’s good or bad? Anyway, is it news about Xiao Liulang?"

The guard answered, "Yes!"

The Crown Prince asked, "What’s the good news?"

The guard reported truthfully, "Han shizi, following the clues left by General Nangong, deduced Xiao Liulang’s whereabouts. It turns out Xiao Liulang has been in the inner city of Shengdu all along. The reason General Nangong couldn’t trace him is that Xiao Liulang changed his ident.i.ty, disguising himself as a student of Canglan Women’s Academy! He goes by the surname Gu and is the State of Zhao’s female student who made it into the top ten of the beauty list within three days of arriving!"

The Crown Prince didn’t care about this beauty list or whatnot, but discovering Xiao Heng's true ident.i.ty was fantastic news. Now, all that was needed was to head straight to Canglan Women’s Academy and capture him!

The Crown Prince, unable to hide his excitement, said, "Why haven’t you ordered Han shizi to arrest him yet?"

The guard looked troubled, "Han shizi can't arrest him."

"Why not?" The Crown Prince asked.

The guard, bracing himself, replied, "This is the bad news Han shizi sent back… The Emperor is around the academy!"

The Crown Prince gasped sharply!

……

Zhang Dequan had been gone for quite some time. The Emperor had already finished reviewing the memorandums, and without anyone fanning the carriage, it had become rather stuffy inside.

The Emperor had the coachman stop the carriage at the gate of Lingbo Academy.

Zhang Dequan had already seen the Little County Princess and was waiting for her to say goodbye to her new friend.

He hadn’t expected that there would be another child in the prodigy cla.s.s who was around the age of the Little County Princess, and it turned out to be the younger brother of that female student.

The Little County Princess immediately noticed the Emperor’s carriage. She puffed as she ran over, stood beside the wheel, which was taller than her, and tilted her head to look up at the carriage window, “Uncle! I made a new friend! Do you want to meet them?”

"Oh, really?" The Emperor lifted the curtain.

"Over there!"

The Little County Princess pointed with her hand.

The Emperor looked in the direction of Xiao Heng and Little Jing Kong.

Xiao Heng seemed to sense something and also lifted his gaze, looking toward the Emperor's carriage.

Though the street was bustling with people, nothing obstructed their view of each other.

When their gazes met, both seemed to pause slightly.

Typically, when strangers made eye contact, a sense of awkwardness would naturally arise, as if they were caught sneaking a glance, even if it was purely coincidental, and the instinct was often to look away.

However, neither of them looked away. They continued to openly and boldly observe one another.

It wasn’t surprising that the Emperor felt confident enough to stare at other people. After all, he was the Son of Heaven; he could look at whomever he pleased with absolute authority, while the one who met his gaze should immediately lower their head, overwhelmed by his imperial presence and respectfully avert their eyes.

Xiao Heng did shift his gaze, but not out of shyness or awkwardness. His expression remained calm, like the still surface of an icy lake.

The Emperor continued to gaze at Xiao Heng without blinking.

Zhang Dequan took in the Emperor’s expression and thought to himself that things were going wrong. He had forgotten that the Emperor and Empress Xuanyuan had first encountered each other at the gate of Lingbo Academy.

Empress Xuanyuan had a fondness for polo, and Lingbo Academy had the largest polo field in Shengdu, so she came here frequently.

The Emperor, while studying at Lingbo Academy, had once been knocked unconscious by a polo ball struck by Empress Xuanyuan.

He fell to the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Empress Xuanyuan checking his injuries.

Afterward, the Emperor told Zhang Dequan’s G.o.dfather—the previous Grand Eunuch—that he had seen a fairy.

Zhang Dequan couldn’t fully grasp the Emperor’s thoughts, but there was one thing he was sure of: the Emperor had deep feelings for Empress Xuanyuan.

During the years Empress Xuanyuan was imprisoned in the cold palace, not a day pa.s.sed when the Emperor didn’t send someone to report on her condition.

Empress Xuanyuan had countless opportunities to leave the cold palace, but she refused every time.

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 succ.u.mb 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…
