Stepping out, Hongyue's eyes were met with an empty courtyard. The third prince was nowhere to be seen. Did he leave? Without her permission? Was he not entertained by the scenery she set? Hongyue frowned slightly, her mood sank. Oh well, it didn't matter, people had mouths for a reason. Someone was bound to reveal the past.

However, a slight streak of black coming from a nearby tree swiftly caught Hongyue's eyes. She smirked, appears like that stone-faced pervert didn't leave entirely. The third prince must have arranged a little investigation on the general today and discovered it linked to her. His information collection was undoubtedly fast.

Impressive.

Hongyue smiled slyly but didn't bother to expose the shadow guard observing on her. If he wanted to watch, he had to be ready to stomach it first. She paced unwaveringly on the stone pathway, brutally crushing an arm of a corpse in her way with her foot. The sharp cracking of bones penetrated into the air, yet she bore no emotion on her expression, merely putting an indifferent expression as if everything else was beneath her.

Black, who was on the tree felt chills almost like freezing fingers were rubbing up against his back. The shadow guard could feel his blood hammering in his ears, and his heart chilled. He had survived through the worst scenes imaginable in the palace's power conflicts, but he never witnessed something like this; a girl crushing apart someone's else bones to pieces with no emotion in their eyes.

He gulped. He was ordered to watch over the eldest miss by the third prince and record anything unusual concerning her. Now, he unquestionably ached to swear.

Unusual?!!

The whole person was abnormal. What was normal about her at all?

He exercised in a long breath and attempted to calm his mind. Although he knew General Wei found Hongyue to possess no elemental influence, Black was still somewhat unsettled. After all, all the surviving servants noticed that Hongyue barely said a few words before General Wei's went crazed with bloodlust, so there was no way this miss could be simple. Not just that, he overheard the conversation where she declared she was a ghost to the third prince. Even if the third prince didn't care about spirits, Black did. The shadow guard trained his eyes away.

Hongyue stooped down and concentrated on braiding the hair of a female corpse composedly, seemingly anticipating someone. Bored, she began to count in her mind: One, Tw-

”Move it! I'm going to see that stupid wretch!” A shrill voice snarled out.

Oh~ This second sister of hers was quick.

”But Second Miss, the general said Eldest Miss was wounded and should not be disturbed,” Another voice breathlessly followed.
