It wasn't until Xiao Ai's longsword pierced through Chi Yao's abdomen that Ye Qinghan truly realized what his adorable junior sister was saying.
Just now, Xiao Ai suddenly stood up and, in full view of everyone, ran towards the guards on the side. Everyone thought she was trying to escape, and no one paid any attention.
But as we all know, it is foolish to judge a child's thoughts based on my own opinion.
Especially now, Xiao Ai is no longer Xiao Ai; she is now the well-known Lady Gu Ai to Ye Qinghan.
When a child abandons weakness, the only difference between him and an adult is some knowledge and experience.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ai possessed these things much earlier than most adults.
Xiao Ai never thought of running away. When the guard tried to block her way, Xiao Ai turned to the side and drew the long sword from the guard's waist.
However, no one paid any attention. Only Li Shiyao realized the problem. She knew that Xiao Ai was dead, completely dead, and that the person taking over this body was Lord Gu Ai.
She is the most outstanding personal attendant, a top-tier warrior with no weaknesses, and the future queen in Chi Yao's words!
The scariest thing is that Xiao Ai is only nine and a half years old at this moment.
Unfortunately, even though Xiao Ai is holding the silver blade at this moment, she doesn't receive any attention whatsoever.
However, this is understandable; it's like a kitten baring its teeth—it won't scare anyone, and it certainly won't escape.
However, just as Li Shiyao had already seen, Xiao Ai never thought of escaping, and Xiao Ai also knew that she couldn't escape.
If one is born into hell, then death is a kind of liberation.
No one can advise the mother and daughter to live well. They can only say nice things because it hasn't happened to them.
Xiao Ai thought the idea that "it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death" was utter nonsense. She reasoned that the person who said it was already living a good life, which allowed them to utter such disgusting words with ease, nonchalance, and arrogance.
Ye Qinghan could understand what was behind that princess, let alone Lord Gu Ai.
The silver-white longsword, taller than his beloved, was dragged behind him, but all he got in return were a few teasing remarks. The beast on the throne simply waved his hand, and several guards blocked the palace gate.
The general merely smiled, then stood opposite Xiao Ai, shielding the beast on the throne behind him.
The assassination attempt on the king was nothing but a joke; even Lord Gu Ai had no divine power at the moment.
If you say he only has the body of a demigod, then this demigod body is just a little tougher than that of an ordinary person, and he won't die no matter how much he is tortured.
"Your Highness, do you still recognize me? Hahahaha! Did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"Sorry, I generally don't pay much attention to trash who can only kneel outside the hall. If you want my attention, you'd better stand up straight and come inside."
Perhaps they were mocking each other, or perhaps they were angry out of embarrassment, but compared to the one on the throne, Xiao Ai clearly didn't show much emotion, only a calm expression.
Xiao Ai's words were clearly a great insult to the one on the throne, especially since he was now sitting on the throne.
Xiao Ai is right. He is of low status and is not even qualified to enter the palace for discussions. It is understandable that Xiao Ai does not recognize him.
Ye Qinghan thought Xiao Ai was incredibly cool at that moment. Her indifferent expression, devoid of childish fantasies, truly captivated her and made her understand why the female warriors of He Guang were so infatuated with her.
Xiao Ai's expression was indifferent, which shocked Chi Yao. At this moment, no one could have guessed what Xiao Ai was thinking.
Even as Xiao Ai slowly walked up to Chi Yao with her long sword, no one could react. After all, it was too unbelievable for a nine-year-old child to kill her own mother.
When Chi Yao's outstretched hand was coldly rejected by Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai turned around without hesitation and thrust her long sword backward from her waist.
Chi Yao seemed to say something, but she was more puzzled. Clearly, Chi Yao had not expected that Xiao Ai would actually raise a sword against her own mother.
Actually, even Ye Qinghan, apart from Li Shiyao, hadn't expected this at this point.
Ye Qinghan only realized many things after the fact, and only understood them afterward.
For Xiao Ai, dignity is far more important than survival.
Moreover, even if they begged for mercy, these people would probably not let them and their daughter go. The mother, who had already been deceived once, should have realized this long ago.
The so-called expedient measure never existed in the first place.
Even as her mother collapsed heavily to the ground, Xiao Ai never looked back, not even for a second.
Her expression remained icy, her temperature almost matching her heart.
Before everyone could be shocked, the next second, Xiao Ai pressed the blood-stained sword against her own neck. How could she not know that she was no match for these beasts?
However, even without looking at what happened later, Ye Qinghan knew that Xiao Ai had not succeeded.
If Xiao Ai really did commit suicide with a sword, then there would be no future Lord Gu Ai.
Ye Qinghan turned and left, leaving only Li Shiyao in the main hall. She watched as Xiao Ai's plan failed, and several guards seized her sword and pinned her down in the center of the hall.
Xiao Ai was imprisoned for killing her mother, but the crime itself didn't matter, because her mother was also guilty.
After all, even in death, Chi Yao could not find peace. However, Xiao Ai only learned about her mother's body being hung on the city wall afterward.
Dynastic changes are the same in every world; the fate of the former dynasty's princess... well...
Xiao Ai will be publicly executed a month later. Xiao Ai found out about this the very next day, but she wasn't afraid at all.
Xiao Ai didn't care, let alone be afraid.
The only person she cared about was dead; she had killed him with her own hands.
However, the fact that a princess was imprisoned in the dungeon was quite novel, and Xiao Ai was naturally subjected to a lot of torture, basically having all the instruments of torture used on her.
Those beasts didn't have anything to ask, and Xiao Ai didn't have anything to say. Xiao Ai felt that those beasts just wanted to hear the princess's wails.
Xiao Ai felt that such people were very pathetic. They couldn't judge right from wrong with their own eyes. Just like the insults and abuse during the parade, the ignorant masses would accept whatever they wanted to believe.
Whenever someone who is doing better than them is put on trial, they will join in the fun and vent their anger, as if Xiao Ai had caused their family to be ruined.
"Perhaps this world should be reshaped. These ignorant beasts don't need to be saved at all."
Right in front of Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao, Xiao Ai, who was almost covered in wounds, leaned against the wall and said these words.
“I will perish, but you will never escape punishment. Judgment and punishment will come, and divine retribution will punish the wicked on my behalf.”
"It is not I who should be afraid, but you all!"
Just three sentences were enough to scare Ye Qinghan and Li Shiyao so much they almost wet themselves. Ye Qinghan even suspected that Xiao Ai might have been possessed at some point!
