Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Unable to control Long Yi, Princess Xinyang sighed and decided to just let him be. Do whatever you want.

The two, one big and one small, went back to causing mischief in the courtyard.

Gu Jiao finished checking Princess Xinyang's pulse and took out a stethoscope to place it inside Princess Xinyang's clothing.

Princess Xinyang glanced at Gu Jiao's hand inside her clothes and the stethoscope hanging from her ear, looking somewhat speechless, "Where do you get all these strange things? I've never seen a physician like you before. Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Gu Jiao let go of the stethoscope and grabbed her, "This is what taking advantage is."

Princess Xinyang, who was looking down at Gu Jiao's hand on her chest: "..."

Princess Xinyang: I think, you’re replaceing life on Earth too tough and want to go to the afterlife.

Gu Jiao continued to use the stethoscope to listen to her heart rate without changing her expression.

It actually felt quite nice.

It was fortunate that Princess Xinyang had developed immunity from Long Yi's antics, or else Gu Jiao might not have escaped a beating.

Little Jing Kong was playing wildly in the courtyard.

"Long Yi! Long Yi! Come and catch me!"

He hid behind a tree and made funny faces at Long Yi.

The next moment, Long Yi appeared right behind him.

"Eeep!"

Little Jing Kong's hair stood on end, and he brandished his little arms as he ran away.

"He looks a lot like Ah Heng." Princess Xinyang said, watching Little Jing Kong who was running away and waving his tiny ‘paws.’

"When he was a child." Princess Xinyang added, "Except for the face, his expressions and gestures are quite similar."

Gu Jiao: Well, yeah, they shared a room every day, from morning to night.

Princess Xinyang watched the two playing in the courtyard and stated, "Long Yi thinks of him as the four-year-old Xiao Heng."

Oh?

Gu Jiao hadn't thought about that. After all, Xiao Heng had grown up and couldn't revert to being a child.

However, it seemed that the thought process of the Dragon Shadow Guards was different from those of ordinary people. Long Yi could accept the presence of young Xiao Heng as well as the existence of teenage Xiao Heng, and they didn’t interfere with each other.

She wondered how he would react if they both appeared at the same time.

Talk of the devil and he comes.

Little San's voice came from the entrance, "Oh? Brother Xiao! How come you're here? Are you here to pick up Young Miss Gu? She's inside!"

Xiao Liulang didn't know that Gu Jiao had come here. He was actually just passing by.

However, Little San pulled him inside.

Long Yi, who had been playing with Little Jing Kong, heard the commotion at the entrance. He turned his head to see Xiao Liulang at the gate, then looked back at Little Jing Kong. His brain malfunctioned once again!

As it turned out, Xiao Liulang and Little Jing Kong couldn't be in the same frame together.

Long Yi was utterly befuddled.

Xiao Liulang's gaze penetrated through the window sill, locking eyes with Princess Xinyang from afar, and both of them showed a hint of complexity in their eyes.

Xiao Liulang looked at Gu Jiao, then turned and walked out of the courtyard, returning to the carriage.

Princess Xinyang lowered her gaze, picked up a cup of tea that had long gone cold on the table, and casually asked, "Is his hand healed?"

Gu Jiao put away the stethoscope and raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you ask him yourself?"

Princess Xinyang replied calmly, "Nevermind then."

Gu Jiao sighed in resignation and said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you. No, it hasn't healed yet."

Princess Xinyang's fingers tightened around the teacup.

Gu Jiao gestured to her fingertips and sighed, saying, "There's a small scar left. He has to apply scar cream daily, and it'll take about three months for his skin to fully recover."

Princess Xinyang glanced at her and said coolly, "Can't you just say everything in one go?"

Gu Jiao shrugged, "That's why I told you to ask him yourself. He can say everything in one go."

Princess Xinyang: This girl!

After playing in the courtyard for a while, Little Jing Kong ran inside, sweating profusely. He said to Gu Jiao, "JiaoJiao, I want to have a mask too."

Gu Jiao took her spare mask from her back basket and handed it to him.

Princess Xinyang looked at the mask with its flashy peacock feathers and felt her eyelid twitch.

What a strange sense of aesthetics this girl had!

"Thank you, JiaoJiao!" Little Jing Kong took the mask and excitedly ran outside. "Long Yi, Long Yi, I have a mask too!"

The scene suddenly reminded Gu Jiao of something. She propped her chin with one hand and looked at Long Yi in the courtyard. Then she asked Princess Xinyang, "Princess, why doesn't Long Yi have a tattoo on his face?"

"Have you taken off his mask?" Princess Xinyang asked.

Dragon Shadow Guards rarely allowed anyone to remove their masks. Princess Xinyang didn't know if Xiao Heng had ever done it, but anyone else who had attempted to remove Long Yi's mask was now six feet underground.

"I've taken it off once." Gu Jiao admitted.

Princess Xinyang sighed slightly but didn't inquire further about why she had done it. Since it had already happened, asking now wouldn't serve much purpose.

"Still, removing a Dragon Shadow Guard's mask is a very dangerous thing to do. You should avoid doing it casually in the future." Princess Xinyang advised kindly.

Gu Jiao nodded and said, "Okay."

Princess Xinyang couldn't help but give Gu Jiao an extra look. This girl could be quite exasperating at times, but at other times, she was incredibly obedient and endearing.

After taking a sip of tea, Princess Xinyang said, "Long Yi's tattoo isn't on his face; it's on his back, and it's an Azure Dragon."

Gu Jiao widened her eyes.

A tattoo on his back was one thing, but it was also a dragon?

Was that why he was called Long Yi(Dragon One)?

"Does the princess have any other Dragon Shadow Guards, and is it the same with them?" Gu Jiao asked.

"No, only Long Yi is like this. The others have Black Tortoise tattoos on their faces." Princess Xinyang replied.

Same as the Emperor's Dragon Shadow Guards.

But why was Long Yi the only one so special?

Gu Jiao continued, "Do the others possess the same combat prowess as Long Yi?"

Princess Xinyang shook her head once again, saying, "No, Long Yi's martial arts skills are the highest."

This was quite strange indeed. Why did Long Yi have the highest martial arts skills? Or perhaps, the question should be, why did the late Emperor appoint the Dragon Shadow Guard with the highest martial arts skills to Princess Xinyang?

Did the late Emperor intend for Princess Xinyang to rebel?
