As the current timeline on the Jianzhang Palace the palace where the Emperor gave Jin Guan her own Palace as her gift years ago as there were in Jin Guan's bedroom along with Ke Zixin who was angry with Jin Guan along with Kang Huan who was standing there sobbing as Ke Zixin yelled at Jin Guan in an angry tone
Ke Zixin
(Angry ): Jin Huan. How dare you!
Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin slaps Jin Guan. Jin Huan falls to the ground, clutching her cheek, and speaks angrily.
Jin Guan
Why don't I dare? This awful woman. Kang Huan has no shame! As a high-level concubine, I am. Naturally qualified to punish her.
Kang Huan
(Sobbing): Emperor I'm not. I'm truly not.
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan's eyes well up with tears, and Ke Zixin clutches her hand and says sweetly to her.
Ke Zixin
Of course. Deliver my order, Jin Guan is jealous and behaving wild. Her status as a high-level concubine will now be reverted, and she will become a low-level concubine.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan shocked falls to the ground on her knees then said in a sad tone
Jin Guan
(Sad): Emperor...
Ke Zixin
Kang Huan, on the other hand.
Ke Zixin
(Happy): Kang Huan is lovely and warm, and she is now carrying my baby. Promote to middle-level concubine.
Kang Huan
(Happy): Emperor so you know.
Ke Zixin
Of course, I rushed to visit you as soon as the doctor said the news, but you were summoned by Jin Guan.
Kang Huan
Sister simply misinterpreted me, without intending to do so.
Narrator (Author)
Oh and when she meant Sister she didn't mean it like as in her family she just said it out of politeness that's all to please the emperor
Jin Guan
Baby? You claim that this awful woman is carrying your child?
Ke Zixin
Yes therefore, I am unable to allow you to harm her at the expense of my child.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan laughed sarcastically as soon as she heard him say that, and then spoke in a mournful tone.
Jin Guan
Hurt? Emperor, you and I had been married for more than four years.
Narrator (Author)
Her eyes welled up with tears as she continued to talk.
Jin Guan
Is that how you see me?
Narrator (Author)
As she spoke further, Ke Zixin continued to glare at Jin Guan with icy and heartless eyes.
Jin Guan
In our first year of marriage, you were not yet on the throne. The ex-crown served you deadly wine at the feast, which I stole and drank. At Tut Tribe Rebellion, you led an army into battle but were attacked. All night long I begged my father and brother for assistance while kneeling in the snow. Then at Lord Zou leads a rebellion on the eve of the throne. I was the one who shielded you from the lethal attack. I've never done anything to hurt you.
Narrator (Author)
Tears were already falling from her eyes as she told him all of this as there was a brief pause before Ke Zixin spoke.
Narrator (Author)
Suddenly, Kang Huan knelt on the ground, startling Ke Zixin, he spoke in a frightened tone.
Kang Huan
Please, Emperor, forgive sister! If Sister's father and brother of the Jin family understood that the sister had been wronged, I fear for Sister's safety. Huan does not want to cause you any problems, so please forgive her.
Ke Zixin
I won't allow you to be wronged, and you don't want to cause trouble. Deliver my order, General Jin's family education is not strict and his daughter Jin Guan abused her power. Ordered her to remain in the room to reflect from now on.
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan and Ke Zixin started to leave her bedroom, but Ke Zixin stopped, turned to face Jin Guan, and spoke in a serious tone.
Ke Zixin
Jin Guan people change, and you've long become like someone I don't know, so cruel.
Narrator (Author)
As Ke Zixin and Kang Huan left the room, the doors slammed violently at Jin Guan. Alone in her chamber, Jin Guan laughed uncontrollably before speaking in a sorrowful, broken tone as tears continued flow down her face.
Jin Guan
Am I the one who has changed? Or have you changed?
Narrator (Author)
As she said this, she begun to hit her head against the pillar, then spoke in a mournful voice, as she was losing consciousness.
Narrator (Author)
As she collapsed on the ground, an unknown man appeared in front of Jin Guan's lifeless body and spoke in a hushed tone.
Unknown Man
I guess she died of a concussion; perhaps I should first have some fun with her.
Narrator (Author)
As he said this, the man knelt down and placed his hand in front of Jin Guan. As he did so, the light began to glow around her and grew stronger. The man then began chanting some spells. Just then, the light stopped glowing around her, and he stopped chanting. Jin Guan slowly opened her eyes and knelt up, not realizing the man was there. She touched her head and then spoke in a weak voice.
Jin Guan
What happened? Shouldn't I be dead by now?
Unknown Man
You were supposed to be dead, but I resurrected you, so you should thank me.
Unknown Man
When Jin Guan turns around and notices the man standing behind her, she screams, but the man quickly covered her mouth and spoke in a serious voice.
Unknown Man
Wow, I resurrected you and this is thank me? I suggest if you keep your mouth shut like a dead mouse because if you scream, the guards will hear us and I'll be found out. I'll release my grip now, but you need to keep quiet, got it?
Unknown Man
Oh, that's right you can't talk.
Narrator (Author)
The man laughed, which made Jin Guan nervous and caused her to think in her head.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): What the hell is he talking about? Resurrection? Dead? No, this is foolishness; it's the afterlife, and I just passed away from a concussion. He's just a commoner making up stories.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan's thoughts were interrupted when the man called her, which caused Jin Guan to look at the man, and the man said to Jin Guan.
Unknown Man
*Sighs* Nod up and down if you agree to cooperate with me, and nod right and left if you don't. So, what's your response?
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): Argh! I refuse to work with this commoner! But if I don't cooperate, this commoner may hurt or even worse kill me, despite the fact that I don't believe what he just said earlier i have no choice but to unwillingly cooperate.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan nodded up and down, which caused the man to smirk. Jin Guan observed the look on his face that made her angry, but she kept her emotions in check. As the man pulled his hand away from Jin Guan's mouth, she looked at him with suspicious eyes, indicating to the man that she was wary of him, so the man groaned, sat down on the floor, and spoke in a tired voice.
Unknown Man
You've got some questions, don't you?
Jin Guan
How do you know I had questions?
Unknown Man
It's written all over your face.
Unknown Man
Ask me a question.
Unknown Man
You can only ask 3 questions.
Unknown Man
Okay that was your first question.
Jin Guan
WHAT!? I don't understand what's going on here! Who are you!
Narrator (Author)
As she asked him this, there was silence in the room. The man gazed at Jin Guan with serious and gloomy eyes, making Jin Guan apprehensive, and then he spoke in a serious tone.
Unknown Man
There are magicians in this world but are hidden for main reasons who have used their magic for significant purposes, and I am one of them but just different from them.
Narrator (Author)
There was silence until it was broken by a tremendous laughter coming from Jin Guan.
Jin Guan
Oh my! Is this a joke? I knew it! I've already died, and this is the afterlife! You are not a magician! You're nothing more than a commoner making up stories!
Narrator (Author)
She was laughing so hard that she didn't notice that the room had turned dark and gloomy, and the man's expression had turned dark and gloomy as well. Jin Guan was lifted into the air, choking in the air, and she looked at the man, who was now standing at the ground, and she saw magic surrounding them. The man's eyes were blazing, but they were darker due to his eye color, and he spoke in a gloomy and exhausted voice.
Unknown Man
You're making a lot of noise
Jin Guan
W-WAIT! Ah! I c-can't move. P-Please s-spare me!
Unknown Man
That's too bad. That is something I don't do. I resurrected you because I wanted to have some fun, and the only reason I resurrected you was because I needed a high-ranking soul, but now I'm thinking that I should kill you. I mean, I won't be able to have your soul, but hearing your screams and cries as I torture you to death will be more fun.
Jin Guan
IF! If you would spare me then, I would give you my entire soul!
Unknown Man
Do you believe I'd do something like that merely to make you think I would do that for a simple dead soul like you?
Jin Guan
PLEASE! I will not be satisfied unless I take revenge on those who have turned my life upside down! I've finally gained the confidence to stand up to anybody, and today will be my time to take my vengeance! I promise, in the name of the Jin family, that once I took my vengeance on those f*ckers, particularly Kang Huan and Ke Zixin, you can do anything you want with my soul.
Unknown Man
Revenge? Interesting alright let's do it.
Narrator (Author)
Saying this, the magic that had been enveloping them vanished, and Jin Guan fell hard to the ground then Jin Guan thought in her mind.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): This magician, commoner, or whatever he is, should have been a little more gentle, jeez!
Unknown Man
But, you know, this isn't an easy choice for you. In exchange for giving in to your cravings, your soul will perish forever. Not even the slightest remnant on the whole continent~ If you insist on having your soul taken right now, you can still go to the afterlife rather than having your soul washed away from the universe. So, what are your options taking your soul right now or revenge?
Jin Guan
I'm going to go with revenge.
Unknown Man
As you wish. Jin Guan correct?
Jin Guan
H-Huh? Yes that's correct
Narrator (Author)
The man approached Jin Guan and placed his hand in front of her chest, which terrified Jin Guan. She quickly closed her eyes, expecting him to choke her throat, but instead she felt and sensed light on her chest, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the man using his magic to create something around her neck. As soon as he stopped working his magic, she noticed that he had created a necklace around her neck. She looked at the man and asked in a curious tone.
Jin Guan
What is this for?
Unknown Man
That's your last question. That's for in exchange for a contract.
Unknown Man
Hah... That necklace serves as our agreement's contract.
Jin Guan
Oh, really? So why are we using a necklace as our contract? Wouldn't it be preferable if we signed it on paper?
Unknown Man
It would be, but since you agreed that once you want your revenge, I could do anything with your soul, which means you'd vanish into thin air once you're done, I had to make a necklace that serves as our contract, which you can't remove it no matter what.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was intrigued and terrified, so she stuttering asked.
Jin Guan
W-what happens if I remove it?
Narrator (Author)
The man approached Jin Guan and approached her ear, which shocked her little, before saying in a serious yet quiet voice.
Unknown Man
You will die and disappear then.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was terrified when she heard those words, and she trembled while the man continued sarcastically.
Unknown Man
But don't worry, I'll look out for you and keep you safe, so you won't perish so quickly. Plus, I'm only a secret weapon for your desires.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): If he's my secret weapon, I can use him whenever I want. Even though I don't trust this cunning magician, I am forced to choose between taking my revenge and dying later or being killed by the magician on the spot.
Jin Guan
When should we begin?
Unknown Man
You can choose, but it would be great to start right away, the sooner the better.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan looked down at her palm and saw her blood on it, then she murmured aloud.
Jin Guan
I was so hard on myself that I suffered from a concussion as a result of my own savagery.
Unknown Man
Because of this, we magicians set up people like you to assist you in changing your fate and your life in exchange for which we will take your souls at the end of our contract.
Jin Guan
But I unfortunately had a concussion.
Unknown Man
Oh, right I forgot, and I notice that the emperor cherishes Kang Huan greatly.
Jin Guan
Now, this situation is challenging. In situations where I may have a concussion, I find it difficult to settle the problem gently.
Unknown Man
Be good. You don't want me to use my magic on you once more, right?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was sweating a lot and gulped in silence. The scene shifts to a house inside which a door led to a place where the previous man had entered silently and invisibly without anyone being able to see him. The emperor was stamping a decree inside the room when a man raised his hand toward the table to the emperor's left and began using magic to create a different decree. He then stopped using magic and waited for the emperor to stamp the decree that the man had created. It didn't take long for the emperor to stamp the man's decree. Once the emperor stamped the decree, the man discreetly walked towards the decree and used his magic to make the emperor fall asleep, then took the decree and exited the room. The scene switches to Jin Guan's home. When she saw the man return with the decree, her eyes lit up in amazement. Jin Guan was shocked and was sparked in her eyes then spoke in a surprised voice.
Jin Guan
Wow, the spell Creativity really lives up to its name. You just got the decree in this way. Let me see the decree!
Unknown Man
Creativity is merely a weak spell that only lasts for three hours and allows you to create any object. It's not all that impressive.
Jin Guan
With this decree, I can justify adopting a prince.
Unknown Man
I don't understand, since this is a decree. Why not simply execute Kang Huan?
Jin Guan
The reason for this is because killing a pig with a blunt knife hurts more.
Narrator (Author)
To be continued. Anyways this is my first novel so I hope you enjoyed reading my novel
😊😊😊
Chapter 2
Narrator (Author)
The scene shifts to an area where there are many people gathered. The man abruptly said to Jin Guan as the two of them were passing through the crowd as it seems like an adoption center
Unknown Man
Hey, what are your thoughts on this?
Narrator (Author)
This is what he was taking about
Jin Guan
No way. This appears to be overly joyful; I'd rather foster a prince than start a talk show.
Jin Guan
Bitter face and very thin. I'm worried that I can't properly foster him.
Unknown Man
How about this one?
Jin Guan
Too small. I'm concerned that by the time he succeeds in grabbing the throne, I would already be dead even if I were still wearing the necklace, I would still pass away from old age.
Unknown Man
What about this one? This one seems to be old enough.
Jin Guan
Wow. You dare to select the first prince of Li Jing? Do you wish to die!
Narrator (Author)
The man was annoyed, so he grabbed Jin Guan's ear and yelled in Jin Guan's ear in an annoyed tone.
Unknown Man
This is about raising a prince, not purchasing a cabbage! Do you have any fancy candidates then?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan grabbed her ear and yanked the man's fingers away from her ear, then she began massaging her ear and talked in a tired voice.
Jin Guan
Okay fine, fine, fine... I know. I'll go with...
Narrator (Author)
As Jin Guan looked around, a boy sitting peacefully by the staircase caught her attention. Jin Guan said to the man.
Jin Guan
I'll go with that boy over there.
Unknown Man
The Fourth Prince? His mother passed away very young, and Li Jing raised him for two years, pushing him to become a noble person.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan smiled and spoke confidently.
Jin Guan
Oh, I sense a strong bond between us.
Narrator (Author)
The fourth prince held his stomach while thinking in his head.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
(Thoughts): My caretaker deducted my supper again today; I'm starving!
Narrator (Author)
As the fourth prince was thinking about it, Jin Guan unexpectedly showed up infront of him and spoke to him which surprised him.
Jin Guan
Who is the caretaker in charge? You are Yunxiao! My name is Jin Guan, and I'm from Jianzhang Palace.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Uh... Ji- Greetings, Jin Guan.
Narrator (Author)
Suddenly, an elderly lady approaches them, bowed down in front of them, and speaks in an elderly yet polite voice.
Elderly woman
Greetings, Jin Guan, low-level concubine.
Unknown Man
Hmmm ... Low-level concubine! Hahahahaha!
Narrator (Author)
Using the telepathy spell and invisble spell on himself, which allows the two of them to freely communicate in their minds, the man mockingly spoke to her in her head. Jin Guan was enraged and spoke in a threatening tone.
Jin Guan
(Speaking in his mind): Do you wish to die?
Narrator (Author)
The man was furious that Jin Guan had threatened him, but he refrained from speaking. The elderly woman gently raised her head and asked in a curious voice.
Elderly woman
Lady Jin Guan?
Jin Guan
Are you the Fourth Prince's caretaker? Order from the Emperor, from now on, the fourth prince is adopted by me; go pack his belongings and guide him to Jianzhang Palace.
Elderly woman
Yes Lady Jin Guan.
Narrator (Author)
As the old lady was joyful and Yunxiao seemed nervous Jin Guan approached Yunxiao, crouched down to his height, and asked in a gentle voice.
Jin Guan
I forgot to ask you before. Do you want to go to Jianzhang Palace?
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
I.....
Narrator (Author)
The elderly lady shoved Yunxiao, not worrying if he fell and get injuried. The elderly woman's voice was happy but uneasy as she spoke.
Elderly woman
Don't worry, little master is willing to go to Jianzhang Palace.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan caught Yunxiao just in time before he could tumble to the ground and pull him close to her body before yelling angrily at the elderly lady.
Jin Guan
Presumptuous! How dare you to shove the prince and offend the prince! You have such guts to push a prince!
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan, Yunxiao, and the man turned their backs on the old lady, and Jin Guan called to her guards who were nearby.
Jin Guan
Drag her down. Chop the hand she used to pushed the fourth prince.
Elderly woman
Lady Jin Guan, please forgive me... Lady Jin Guan!
Narrator (Author)
The three of them went away as the old lady screamed and begged Jin Guan to forgive her. Yunxiao was staring at Jin Guan while walking away, and Jin Guan notice this and asked Yunxiao.
Jin Guan
What's the matter? Feeling sorry for her?
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
No..... No.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan touched Yunxiao's hair and said to him in a caring tone.
Jin Guan
Yunxiao, remember you are a prince, the emperor's son, and from today you are the son of Jin Guan. Nobody can bully you; you must learn to be a master.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
I... I won't let you down!
Narrator (Author)
Tears of joy raced down Yunxiao's face as he ran to his room to pack all of his belongings. The man deactivated his invisible magic and talked in a carefree tone.
Unknown Man
What a cute little puppy. You're going to turn him into a hungry wolf.
Jin Guan
What do you know?
Unknown Man
Well, you made the right decision in adopting this one, and in the future, he won't be able to wait for Kang Huan's child to be born because he was just killed by that caretaker.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was taken aback and said to the man in a puzzled tone.
Jin Guan
So... That's why you gave me permission to adopt him without asking me why. Wow... Sir Magician, you are indeed a good person.
Narrator (Author)
The moment she finished speaking, the man shoved her head with his index finger and spoke in an unpleasant manner to Jin Guan.
Unknown Man
You are overthinking things; the princes I mentioned earlier were all defeated by Kang Huan's son. In this situation, choose someone who was unable to participate in the battle. And I'm not a good person.
Jin Guan
Oh yeah, I forgot that when our contract is over, the person in front of me will take my soul immediately. Oh, and how did you know that all of the princes were defeated by Kang Huan's son and Yunxiao's death when none of these events occurred?
Unknown Man
There was complete silence between them. The man spoke again after 2 minutes, but this time he stared Jin Guan in the eyes with serious and melancholy eyes. He leaned in close while looking at Jin Guan's face and murmured in her ear.
Unknown Man
If I told you that I was from the future would you believe me?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was stunned then spoke in a shocked tone.
Jin Guan
W-What? Are you now playing with me?
Narrator (Author)
The man did not respond but only looked at her calmly. Jin Guan glanced into his eyes and saw them gloomy, but she could see a hint of grief in them but he's not showing it. There was silence between them until the man burst out laughing in a mocking tone backing away from her ear giving distance between them.
Unknown Man
Pfft! I can't believe you fell for it! Your expression was wonderful; you should have seen yourself in the mirror! Hahaha!
Jin Guan
You shouldn't be joking around like that!
Unknown Man
Jeez! I was simply bored since nothing was getting interesting. Anyway, what's next?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan looked at him suspicious as she begun to think in her thoughts
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): He's trying to change the subject matter, I see. Can he actually see into the future? I'm not sure, but I'm determined to find out. But for now, I'll let him change the subject matter.
Jin Guan
We will now move on to phase two since the goal of phase one was to adopt a prince, which was achieved.
Jin Guan
To inform Kang Huan that I have now adopted a prince.
Unknown Man
You're going to tell her that you now have a prince? Why would you do something like that?
Jin Guan
I'm not going to inform her; someone else will. And maybe it will produce miracles.
Narrator (Author)
She smiled as she spoke the word miracles, and the man became upset. The man said in an upset tone.
Unknown Man
Tch! Stop looking at me like that.
Jin Guan
Looking like what, Sir Magician?
Unknown Man
Never mind, let's return to Jianzhang Palace; the fourth prince is already there.
Jin Guan
Alright, Sir Magician.
Narrator (Author)
As he said this, the man extended his hand in front of Jin Guan. Jin Guan was stunned and shocked, and she spoke in a surprised tone.
Jin Guan
W-What? Why do you want me to take your hand, exactly?
Jin Guan
Not until you giv-
Narrator (Author)
She was interrupted by him grabbing her hand, which made Jin Guan nervous and scared, but then she began to hear the man chanting a spell in a language she didn't understand, and suddenly there was an enchanted circle around them, but then they both vanished into thin air and teleported to Jianzhang Palace. Jin Guan was stunned, then looked at the man, who was now staring at her. Panickily, she asked the man.
Jin Guan
What were you thinking!?
Unknown Man
What was I thinking? I used my magic to teleport us to Jianzhang Palace as quickly as possible.
Jin Guan
I could see that, but did you consider that perhaps someone witnessed you performing your magic in public?
Unknown Man
I wouldn't be a magician if I couldn't follow a simple rule which is to not allow anyone other than the person with whom you made a contract to witness you perform magic in public.
Jin Guan
Oh well, I guess I was scared for nothing, Sir Magician.
Jin Guan
Umm... Anyways! Let us go check on the fourth prince, Sir-
Unknown Man
My name is Guo Chen
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): Why does that name sound familiar to me?
Guo Chen
Oi, are we going to go or not?
Jin Guan
A-Ah I apologies Sir Chen, let's go now.
Guo Chen
That's a lot better now.
Narrator (Author)
The two of them began strolling together, which was awkward for Jin Guan, but she chose to play it cool so as not to make Guo Chen uncomfortable. As they walked about to find Yunxiao, they both heard someone chewing on meat, as if the person eating on it was really hungry. As they both glanced through a low split open door, they were surprised to find Yunxiao chewing a chicken leg vigorously on his left hand and using chopsticks to pick up some boneless chicken. They both just remained there watching him eat before Jin Guan muttered quietly to the man not to scare Yunxiao away.
Jin Guan
This poor kid. How long has he been hungry?
Guo Chen
I'm not sure, but he's been starving until now. This is how he dies from hunger.
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): Is this how people live nowadays? I've never been through anything like that, but I feel sorry for those who go hungry and dies as a result.
Narrator (Author)
As she thought more about it, she accidentally uttered her thoughts out of her mouth, and she smiled pleasantly as she did so.
Jin Guan
I understand now. Why don't I accompany him to a meal?
Guo Chen
Go to him if you wish.
Jin Guan
Did you read my thoughts?!
Guo Chen
I didn't read your thoughts; you said them out loud, you idiot.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Lady Jin Guan? Who is this person?
Narrator (Author)
They both turned around to see Yunxiao, who is now standing in front of Jin Guan and Guo Chen. They were both taken aback by Yunxiao's silent approach in front of them, and Jin Guan asked Yunxiao in a worried but nervous tone.
Jin Guan
Yunxiao, how long have you been standing there?
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
When I heard you yelling at this person. I didn't listen to anything you two talked about. I apologize for interrupting your conversation with this person.
Jin Guan
No, you did not interrupt anything. Actually, I had just finished speaking with him.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Oh, really? Then I'll be returning to my room.
Narrator (Author)
Yunxiao turned his back on them both and began to walk away when Jin Guan called out to him.
Narrator (Author)
Yunxiao was startled as he turned around to face Jin Guan, then asked in a worried voice, believing that she would deduct his meals today twice a day.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Yes Lady Jin Guan?
Jin Guan
Would you like me to join you to a meal?
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Huh?
Narrator (Author)
Yunxiao was surprised to hear a request from Jin Guan, so he said to Jin Guan.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
I appreciate the offer, but I've already eaten.
Narrator (Author)
After finishing his sentence, he turned around and began to go toward his room when his stomach started to growl loudly. Guo Chen and Jin Guan looked at Yunxiao, who was now staring at them with his face all red in embarrassment, and Jin Guan giggled before saying to Yunxiao in an affectionate tone.
Jin Guan
Hehe, why don't we have dessert before you go to your room?
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Eh? ~//////~ Umm okay.
Narrator (Author)
When Yunxiao said this, Jin Guan held out her hand gesturing him to take her hand as Yunxiao hesitated before taking her hand. Jin Guan then grabbed the door to open it before she could open the door Yunxiao asked Jin Guan in a concerned voice.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Is he going to accompany us to a meal, too?
Jin Guan
Oh umm... Yes, he will join us for dessert as well.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Oh okay.
Narrator (Author)
Guo Chen and Jin Guan were astonished to discover the table full with plates and bowls of finished chicken bones as well as empty and the servants cleaning the table as Jin Guan opened the door. When the servants saw Jin Guan, they bowed and said in a polite manner.
Servants/Maids
Greetings low-level concubine Lady Jin Guan.
Narrator (Author)
Guo Chen, who was speaking in a low voice but Jin Guan could easily hear him, he chuckled in satisfaction at hearing that.
Guo Chen
Pfft! Low-level concubine.
Jin Guan
(Mind): This man really has a death wish.
Jin Guan
Prepare desserts for me, Yunxiao, and Sir Guo.
Servants/Maids
Okay Jin Guan.
Narrator (Author)
As they were saying this, some of the servants went to the kitchen, and the other servants were cleaning the table. The three of them then went to sit down at the table. As they waited for the desserts to be served, Yunxiao spoke to Jin Guan in an embarrassed tone while Guo Chen sat two blocks away on her right side at the right side of the long table.
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Umm Lady Jin Guan I apologies.
Jin Guan
Yunxiao, why are you apologizing?
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
You must have been embarrassed because I left finished chicken bones and empty dishes on the table.
Narrator (Author)
Yunxiao's face appeared red in embarrassment as he said this, his head turned aside like a puppy. Jin Guan glanced at him, smiled at him, and said to him in an affectionate tone.
Jin Guan
Aww! Yunxiao, you don't have to apologize or feel ashamed because you felt hungry and left a mess on the table. In fact, I think it was adorable that you ate the food entirely and yet you're still hungry, which makes you seem cute Yunxiao.
Narrator (Author)
Yunxiao looks surprised at Jin Guan, and she says to Yunxiao in an affectionate tone.
Jin Guan
Yunxiao, don't call me Lady Jin Guan. Call me Mom instead, okay?
Narrator (Author)
Yunxiao glances at her, surprised, then smiles and says to her happily
Yunxiao (Fourth Prince)
Okay Mom!
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan smiled at him and caressed his hair as the desserts arrived. Jin Guan, Guo Chen, and Yunxiao ate as they finished desert. Yunxiao left to his room as the time was approaching twilight, and Jin Guan kissed his forehead, wanting him to enjoy his room. Jin Guan began walking with Guo Chen, and while they walked, they began to talk.
Guo Chen
You seem to have had a good time with Yunxiao.
Jin Guan
Yunxiao was adorable while he was eating, so yes, we had a good time together.
Guo Chen
Yes, and it was uncomfortable for me to sit there and see you two while you both talked and ate.
Jin Guan
But didn't you like the dessert and accompany?
Narrator (Author)
Guo Chen's ear was a little red as he said this, which Jin Guan didn't notice and continued to speak.
Guo Chen
Anyhow, the news of the fourth prince's adoption is now been informed. Kang Huan, I believe, will take action shortly.
Narrator (Author)
A short while later, the scene changes to Jin Guan's room. It was sunset, and she was sitting in her chair at her makeup dresser desk with a
paper in her hand that was an invitation from
Kang Huan for dinner as a banquet at Hongmen
(a meal or gathering set up as a trap for the
invited guests). As she reads the invitation,
she has an almost cunning expression on her
face and speaks
carefree.
Jin Guan
This vicious lady. What does she want to do to me? Let me see probably she will accuse me of
adopting a prince without
permission of the Emperor and
using a false edict.
Narrator (Author)
Guo Chen, who was
in her room, begins to speak once she was finished.
Guo Chen
I'm amazed that you figured out that woman's plan, but now that
you know it, you need to come up
with a strategy to stop it from happening.
Narrator (Author)
After completing his sentence, he began to circle around while deep in thought. He eventually stopped
and placed his hands on his head
as he talked in a stressed out tone.
Guo Chen
However, why on earth would you want to foster a child when our
mission is to essentially
take revenge on them?
Narrator (Author)
He says this and grips her hand as he speaks.
Guo Chen
Shouldn't you be dressed to impress and go seduce the
emperor?
Narrator (Author)
She sighed and spoke to him calmly.
Jin Guan
Have you ever heard of an idiom, Mr. Guo? "As the status of her son rises, so does the mother's honor"
Narrator (Author)
The scene changes to the Royal Palace of the Emperor,
where Kang Huan was in her room with Jin
Guan's maid. Kang Huan and Jin Guan's maid
were together, and the maid of Jin Guan spoke in a concerned tone
Maid of Jin Guan
Lady Kang Huan, is there any
fraud? The false imperial edict is a sin to kill. For Lady Jin Guan... she is not that foolish
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan groaned and whispered to Jin Guan's maid as she sat down on a couch with her elbow resting on the cushion and her hand resting on her cheek.
Kang Huan
Because Jin Guan is such an idiot, she only relied on her appearance
and her ancestry to
advance to the position of high-level ranking concubine. Currently, the Emperor not only
despises her but also has second thoughts
about her family. Be on the lookout if she were intelligent, she would know when to
play it cool, but when? She is so eager to return with
her adopted
son that she is using a
false decree.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan's maid spoke to Kang Huan in a tone of admiration as she praised Kang Huan.
Maid of Jin Guan
Kang Huan is incredibly intelligent. Once all this details is made public, even Lady Jin Guan's
family will be damaged.
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan gets up from the couch and spoke to Jin Guan's maid.
Kang Huan
Humph, that's why I'm holding the banquet dinner today. The emperor prefers to see me in plain clothes, so find me a
moon-white dress.
Maid of Jin Guan
Yes Lady Kang Huan
Narrator (Author)
As the guests sat in their chairs and engaged in a quiet conversation, the scene changes to the Royal Palace's Bauquet Room, where the
Emperor Ke Zixin and Kang Huan
were seated. As Kang Huan sat next to her beloved and wrapped
her hand around his arm in their
seats, listening to their
conversation, the emperor's messenger spoke
Emperor's Messenger
Lady Jin Guan, low-level concubine is here!
Narrator (Author)
The door opens to see Jin Guan standing there wearing a red dress and began to walk inside and Ze Kixin looked at Jin Guan as she walked inside the room as she looked calm but deep inside she was annoyed then she thought in her mind.
Narrator (Author)
This is what Jin Guan is wearing on the Bauquet
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): I have to resume my high-level title as concubine as soon as possible. I don't want to be called as the low-level concubine anymore.
Narrator (Author)

Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin the emperor looked at Jin Guan as she looked quite beautiful in a red dress as the guests looked at her two women began to whisper to each other quietly.
Woman 1
(Whispering): Lady Jin Guan looks so beautiful
Woman 2
(Whispering): Is this a new makeup? I feel like she looks much beautiful
Kang Huan
Sister came so late I almost thought you didn't want to come
Jin Guan
Did you do anything sorry to me? If not don't always say this ambiguity. Look low
Narrator (Author)
She was quite surprised by her response then she began to fake her tears as she clinged to the emperor Ke Zixin then said in a tearful tone as she whimpered
Narrator (Author)
The emperor Ke Zixin then spoke in a stern voice
Narrator (Author)
As soon as he finished his sentence Jin Guan began to cry as tears went down from her eyes as she thought in her mind
Jin Guan
(Thoughts): Do you think you're the only one who knows how to cry?
Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin and Kang Huan were surprised by her sudden tears then Ke Zixin spoke to Jin Guan in a surprised tone
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan wiped her tears as she spoke in a tearful tone
Jin Guan
I didn't cry I have a son now I have nothing need to cry
Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin was shocked when he heard that Jin Guan has a son now. Kang Huan then thought in her mind
Kang Huan
(Thoughts): This matter can't be told by her
Kang Huan
Emperor... I also heard that Sister today...
Narrator (Author)
Before Kang Huan could finish her sentence Ke Zixin was already with Jin Guan grabbing her left wrist as he asked Jin Guan
Ke Zixin
You said you have a son? What's going on?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan pulled her hand away from his grip and touched her left wrist as she spoke her voice sounding pitiful and tearful
Jin Guan
Jin Guan pulled her hand away from his grip and touched her left wrist as she spoke her voice sounding pitiful and tearful
Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin's eyes were dark and angry then Jin Guan looked at him in the eyes as she continued to speak in the same pitiful and tearful tone
Jin Guan
Because of that year I can't have my own child in this life. You've said before I can adopt a child from any concubine you promised me
Narrator (Author)
As Jin Guan said that Ke Zixin remembers as the scene now flashbacks in the past of that year. Jin Guan was crying in her bed while the emperor Ke Zixin was next to her sitting in her bed as he was holding her hand gently as he spoke gently to her
Ke Zixin
Poison wine hurts the body if there are no more children you can adopt any kids you like I promise
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan spoke in a sad tone as she was crying
Jin Guan
No... I only want my child...
Narrator (Author)
The flashback ends and Ke Zixin closed his eyes looking away from Jin Guan as he spoke
Ke Zixin
I feel sorry for you
Narrator (Author)
Kang Huan went up to them and stood next to Ke Zixin and spoke
Kang Huan
But... I heard that Sister took a decree to adopt today...
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan looked at Kang Huan and said to her
Jin Guan
Who did you hear from? When I adopted, conveyed the emperor's word if not how did Sister Huan know? Has the emperor distributed the decree?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan smirked as she continued to speak
Jin Guan
Could it be... You dare to peep at the decree because your pregnant? What's your intention?
Narrator (Author)
As Jin Guan said that she went closer to Kang Huan as Kang Huan was now nervous then spoke
Narrator (Author)
Saying this Kang Huan knelt at the ground clenching Ke Zixin's sleeve as she continued to speak
Kang Huan
I really didn't, just listening to Sister's servant she said that Sister took back a decree which say she
can adopt a prince
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan looked at Ke Zixin at the eye then spoke to him pretending to feel offended
Jin Guan
Oh? So you put a spy in my palace Emperor this is who you praised lovely and warm
Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin pulled his hand away from Kang Huan's hand then said to her
Ke Zixin
Kang Huan you overstep
Narrator (Author)
Saying this Ke Zixin started to walk away as Kang Huan was shocked and started to cry as she called out to him
Kang Huan
What? Emperor! Emperor
Narrator (Author)
Ke Zixin continued to walk away ignoring her cries as Kang Huan was kneeling at the ground crying as Jin Guan bend down and whispered at her ear
Jin Guan
Want to fight me at this level? Huan I'm really disappointed in you
Narrator (Author)
As Jin Guan finished her sentence she got up and walked out of the Bauquet Room as the guests whispered to each other whispering on what just happened then Kang Huan who was still on the ground kneeling looked at Jin Guan as she left then said to herself in a low and hatred tone looking angry
Narrator (Author)
The scene changes to Jin Guan's room as she was sitting in her chair at her makeup drawer as Guo Chen who was also in her room sitting in a chair nearby spoke
Guo Chen
Your really are amazing originally I wanted to suggest you do what the emperor likes attending in a plain skirt
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan spoke as she was looking at herself at the mirror putting on her hairpin on her hair
Jin Guan
Humph What do you know? Men are visual animals if you want to grab his heart first of all, you have to attract his attention find another way
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan looked at Guo Chen as she placed her right elbow on the desk and placed her cheek on her right hand as she continued to speak
Jin Guan
Moreover red dress woman crying it caused enough impact can make people arouse pity
Narrator (Author)
Guo Chen laughs as he said to her
Guo Chen
Hahaha! Can we go this route all the time? You're not afraid of crying anyway
Narrator (Author)
Saying this Jin Guan caressed his hair which made him shocked and surprised as she continued to speak
Jin Guan
Sir Guo let me tell you the reason why Kang Huan can win is not afraid of her image collapsed and once the "nice" person has stain she can never give back
Narrator (Author)
As she said this she removed her hand away from his hair which made Guo Chen look fine but deep down he felt weird when she removed her hand away from her hand as if he wanted her to continue caressing his hair more then he spoke
Guo Chen
You really change from naive and stupid to smart and manipulative, huh? I can't believe that you're the dead person who I resurrected from the dead and made contract with
Jin Guan
After all I was indeed stupid and naive but now I changed thanks to you Sir Guo
Guo Chen
You can call me by my first name
Jin Guan
Eh? Why do you want me to call you by your first name?
Guo Chen
It's annoying to hear you call me by my last name and stop calling me Sir
Jin Guan
All right then Chen. How does that sound?
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan smiled which Guo Chen looked at her as if he just saw a miracle in front of his eyes as she was looking quite beautiful wearing the red dress that she wore on the Banquet Room then he thought in his mind
Guo Chen
(Thoughts): Beautiful... Wait what am I thinking!?
Narrator (Author)
He immediately shaked his head then a few minutes later in Jin Guan's room Guo Chen was invisible and Jin Guan's maid was there as she bowed down to the ground crying as she spoke in a scared tone
Maid of Jin Guan
Lady Jin Guan low-level concubine, please forgive me it's my fault I should not have betray you
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan was holding a tea cup as she said to her maid
Jin Guan
Last time when I taught Kang Huan a lesson, it's you who went to report to the emperor. Now it happened again this time
Narrator (Author)
She placed her tea cup on the table as she continued to speak
Jin Guan
Actually what a good dog, but. Zihan, did your master inform you
of what happens when
one is discovered?
Narrator (Author)
Zihan quavered in fear as she spoke.
Zheng Zihan (Jin Guan's Maid)
I...
Jin Guan
Don't be so afraid after all. In addition, I'm not a
demon.
Narrator (Author)
Jin Guan grabbed Zheng Zihan's chin making Zheng Zihan look at Jin Guan as she continued to speak
Jin Guan
Kang Huan shouldn't have the need to re-teach you how to be a spy,
right? Work hard so that your brothers and parents can continue
living happily outside the
palace.
Narrator (Author)
Zheng Zihan appeared emotionless as Jin Guan continued to speak
Zheng Zihan (Jin Guan's Maid)
Jin Guan
Everything depends upon your hand
Narrator (Author)
Zheng Zihan walked away as Jin Guan dismissed her as she walked out of her room Jin Guan looked at Guo Chen when he made himself visible now then Jin Guan asked Guo Chen
Jin Guan
Why did you advise me to forgive her, Chen? She is actually one of the reasons of my demise. Is she trustworthy, too? She's not to be trusted.
Guo Chen
Before, she couldn't be trusted, but now she might
Guo Chen
She has long admired Lord Zhi, but when Lord Zhi fell for Kang Huan, the man she adores was snatched by another woman.
Jin Guan
Are you claiming that Lord Zhi and Kang Huan are in a
relationship?
Guo Chen
That is exactly what I mean to say, Guan. They are having an affair behind your husband's back, in secret, and your maid is jealous
because she is aware that Lord Zhi
is in love with Kang Huan but is
unaware that he is also
having an affair with Kang Huan.
Narrator (Author)
After hearing this news, Jin Guan was taken
aback, but she quickly smiled evilly and
chuckled slyly as she spoke.
Jin Guan
Women's envy is awful, for crying out loud... I feel very poor when I think Kang Huan's expression.
Narrator (Author)
