Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Look at the bronze mirror.

After hearing what Gu Zhao said, Xia Zhiyuan was now truly certain that the arrow that shot him in the carriage was indeed caused by Gu Zhao using this mirror.

"But you didn't succeed... and this mirror didn't listen to you?"

"Is it right?"

Xia Zhiyuan saw his own reflection in the bronze mirror, and thought that since this mirror could transform entities, it meant that - as long as it was a novel he had read, he could be transported into it?

"Gu Zhao."

"It's really you."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, and Zhao Changlin strode over with a gloomy look on her face.

"See Your Majesty!"

The shadow guards clasped their fists in unison, and Xia Zhiyuan also looked back.

I felt a little nervous.

This time she came to the water dungeon secretly without telling His Highness, so she felt particularly guilty.

After licking his lips, Xia Zhiyuan still wanted to hide the mirror in his sleeves, but he didn't have time to act.

Zhao Changlin took the lead and pulled her to his side.

He looked around with some concern.

The wet walls and the foul-smelling water stains, the entire dungeon was prepared for this group of vicious criminals.

It's definitely not a comfortable place.

Zhao Changlin listened to every word of the conversation between Xia Zhiyuan and Gu Zhao just now.

When she heard Gu Zhao say that he almost killed Zhi Yuan, her chest tightened and her fingertips pressed against her palms.

The urge to draw her knife and punish Gu Zhao on the spot suddenly arose in her mind, but she was also a little angry. Why could Zhi Yuan calmly face a prisoner who had tried to take her life countless times?

Zhiyuan was able to do it and clearly distinguish between public and private matters.

However, on this point, Zhao Changlin was very clear that he could not do it.

Looking at His Highness's gloomy face.

Xia Zhiyuan already had a guess in his mind. His Highness was really angry. Was it because of what Gu Zhao had just said?

That’s true. It’s not impossible.

If she understood it that way.

"Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish and let you and the Gu family die together... How do you think?"

Zhao Changlin has already taken Mr. Gu back to prison, but he thinks that since he is too old, he might not make it to the execution ground and will be tortured to death in the water dungeon.

Fortunately, Zhao Changlin directly placed the people under house arrest, including the Gu family residence, and she also planned to let the shadow guards go to search the house.

"Your Majesty, my father is not aware of this."

"Everyone has his own share of responsibility. If Your Majesty wants to kill or chop someone up, please target Gu Zhao alone!"

Anyway, he is already dead at this moment, so there is nothing to worry about.

If I can survive this disaster for my father and mother, then it would be a worthy death.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Changlin just curled his lips with a fake smile.

"Your father really didn't know."

"But now, I have told him everything."

"He decided to stand up and identify your son's crimes. Your father knows what kind of imprisonment and punishment the entire Gu family will face."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao sneered again.

"Your Majesty, how could my father possibly identify..."

But before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly as if he realized something.

A vague guess gradually began to surface in his mind, making Gu Zhao unable to breathe.

In his mind, he recalled what Zhao Changlin had just said - 'I have already told him everything'

"What, you stopped talking?"

"Commander Gu, don't you believe what I said?"

"Why don't you believe it?"

Zhao Changlin was calm and composed, but she did not give Gu Zhao a chance to catch his breath and continued speaking.

"Commander Gu's half-brother must not be favored by Commander Gu, right?"

As expected, when Gu Zhao heard Zhao Changlin mention his brother, he avoided Zhao Changlin's gaze guiltily and stared at the rising and falling waves.

He took a deep breath and clenched his teeth.

"Everything in the Gu family should belong to me, the legitimate son. What does it have to do with him?"

"Even if he calls me brother, what belongs to me is still mine."

Gu Zhao felt angry whenever he mentioned his younger brother. Why did his father give most of his care to his younger brother?

Even the servants in the Gu family mansion were spreading rumors that in the future, the master would pass the house to the second young master and let the eldest young master go to the battlefield in the northern border.

Seek fame for yourself.

"So if Commander Gu is aware of Old Master Gu's plan to murder his half-brother, Commander Gu, what would Old Master Gu choose?"

"Will you continue to protect Commander Gu, your eldest son, or will you feel guilty and want to give an explanation to your youngest son?"

Xia Zhiyuan continued speaking, her fingers holding His Highness' wrist, rubbing it soothingly.

"Impossible... How could my father believe you? You have no evidence... You clearly want my father to accuse me of rebellion..."

With the iron chains binding his body, Gu Zhao struggled in the water, regretting that he had not dragged the iron chains and climbed out of the water.

"Empty words?"

"If we really have no evidence, Mr. Gu will not believe us."

"Commander Gu, people leave traces behind. Whatever you do, you will leave clues behind..."

"The truth will come to light one day."

……

After learning the origin of the mirror from Gu Zhao, Xia Zhiyuan had a guess in his mind that this mirror... should have been left behind by the attacker in the author's previous world.

In other words, the author's two worldviews can be connected, so the world in the book that the system has visited will also affect the development of events in the next book.

"You always write such outrageous plots. No wonder the system is targeting you and using you as a material library!"

Xia Zhiyuan asked himself, this author is not very good at writing cool stories, but he can write stories about cerebral hemorrhage with ease.

"Host, could you please stop chirping so loudly?"

"This system can hear you!"

"Now that the missing colleague has been found, I will report this to the headquarters and ask them to find a way to get him out of this bronze mirror."

"However - what we can confirm at present is that this system is not bound to the host, which means that its host is likely dead."

"Based on the detailed analysis of the system crash file sent by the headquarters, this system has come to a conclusion that the system was most likely forcibly untied when rescuing the blackened host."

And this kind of operation?

Is it so new?

"Forced unbinding is either because the host himself does not want to cooperate, but the headquarters has a lot of experience in dealing with the host's unwillingness to cooperate, so it generally won't happen."

"The second possibility is that the host's life is threatened, and the system forcibly turns the tide to save the host, or it runs out of energy, and then it derails from the headquarters."
