At this moment, the father and sons of the Xu family were all present. Since it concerned someone from their own family, their faces were filled with deep bewilderment and heartache upon hearing her inner thoughts. Why had their adorable little sister turned out like this?
Fang Zhiyi did not look at Xu Xiong, but simply said in a deep voice, "Bring the Crown Prince up here!"
Several guards escorted the Crown Prince forward. Yes, escorted as a prisoner.
The smart ones immediately saw that the situation was amiss.
"Consort Ning left the palace gates in your palanquin, did she not?" The Crown Prince's face was ashen. He had thought the matter would be exposed, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
"Yes, yes, it was... it was Xu Jiao who asked me to lend her the palanquin. I did not know..."
The original plot did indeed have this segment, but it hadn't blown up into such a huge mess. The gatekeeper was not Xu Xiong, but someone else who hadn't dared to stop Xu Jiao. Then, Xu Jiao made up a story about Consort Ning being a fairy returning to the heavens. Although the original host was disappointed in them, he was unwilling to dig deeper for the sake of the royal family's face, and the matter simply passed.
But Fang Zhiyi had waited so long for this day; how could he just let it pass?
He wanted to tear down that paper-thin facade! To hell with face!
"Even at a time like this, you are still shirking responsibility! I see your days as the Crown Prince have come to an end! From today onwards, you will go back to being a regular prince!"
"This..." The Crown Prince habitually looked around, but he was disappointed. While he had been confined in his palace, the Crown Prince's faction had been purged by Fang Zhiyi using Xu Jiao's name. Now, the imperial court was filled with either new faces or those who were just watching the show.
"He actually threw me under the bus? I misjudged you, but the Crown Prince is really so handsome... I can forgive you a little bit this once... But why is this incompetent emperor so crazy? You could have just kept this matter to yourself quietly. Why do you have to make a scene so everyone knows? Have you no shame?"
The inner voice provoked everyone's hearts.
"Your Majesty, this matter started because of my daughter. This old subject is willing to plead guilty." Xu Yuanzhi stepped out slowly and knelt directly on the ground.
Following closely behind were Xu Hu and Xu Bao.
"What are you guys doing? Why are you kneeling to him? He's clearly the one with the problem! Relying on the country's strength to snatch someone else's princess, that's so disgusting!"
The veins on Xu Yuanzhi's temples throbbed. A moment later, he roared, "You vile spawn! Kneel down and beg for forgiveness at once!"
Xu Jiao was startled. Seeing everyone looking at her, her little girl temper flared up: "I won't! Why should it be me just because he says so? I didn't do it!"
"Bastard! Your second brother loves you, which is why he didn't rat you out, and that's already deceiving the emperor! Yet you still refuse to admit your guilt!"
"He was willing to do it. It's not like I asked him to. He's stupid, what does that have to do with me!" Xu Jiao knelt down, but her inner thoughts didn't stop.
These words completely chilled Xu Xiong's heart. Since when did his little sister become like this?
At this moment, an official glanced at his colleagues on the left and right, steeled his heart, and stepped out of the ranks.
"Your Majesty! This action truly damages the dignity of our Wu Kingdom! I beg Your Majesty to severely punish the chief culprit!"
Following his resolute voice, the court officials, who had been holding back for a long time, began to exert their strength. They had long been dissatisfied with this demoness, and now that they had the opportunity today, they were determined to take her down!
"Your Majesty! I implore you to punish Xu Jiao severely!"
"I second the motion!"
"Please punish Xu Jiao severely, Your Majesty!"
Xu Jiao was dumbfounded.
"Are you guys sick in the head? It's not like I offended you! What kind of skill is it to gang up on a little girl? And my dad too, actually not helping me at the critical moment! You bastard dad!"
Little Hei sighed with emotion, "To be able to make these old foxes speak with one voice, she's definitely the first. Just how many people did she have to offend?"
"Old General Xu, please rise. You are a veteran general of our dynasty, there is no need for this." Fang Zhiyi walked down the steps and personally helped Xu Yuanzhi up.
Xu Yuanzhi was incredibly moved. The Emperor had personally come down to help him up. This, this...
However, his daughter's untimely inner voice sounded again.
"See, you idiots? The Emperor treats my dad so well, and the Empress Dowager dotes on me too. How could they possibly blame me? Hmph, just you wait. After today is over, I'm going to complain about you all to the Emperor!"
Xu Yuanzhi's face darkened.
And the officials became even more resolute.
"Please punish this woman severely, Your Majesty!"
Since there was an opportunity, they had to crush this person to death, otherwise, none of them would have a good time.
Fang Zhiyi did not reply. He just looked at Xu Yuanzhi in front of him. Xu Yuanzhi's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Thinking of how the Xu family had been loyal and good for generations. Originally, when they had this daughter, he thought her inner voice was a gift from heaven. But he never expected her heart to be so dirty and vicious! Insulting the Emperor, coveting the Crown Prince, blaming her own father, humiliating her brothers...
He turned his head to glance at his daughter. At this moment, Xu Jiao still held her head high.
"Hmph, tomorrow I'll tell the Empress Dowager to make me a commandery princess. I'm not going home anymore, that'll piss you guys off!" Her inner voice remained incomparably arrogant.
"Your Majesty, this old subject has failed in teaching his daughter... Please deal with her, Your Majesty!" Xu Yuanzhi said through gritted teeth. "She was spoiled rotten by me, which is why she became like this, absolutely lawless. This old subject is guilty! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"What?" Xu Jiao couldn't help but exclaim aloud, while the surrounding officials all revealed expressions of watching a good show. Wonderful! With Xu Yuanzhi saying these words, their victory was secured!
The three brothers of the Xu family also looked at their father with some surprise, but hearing the crazy curses in Xu Jiao's heart at this moment, they lowered their heads one after another.
Xu Yuanzhi's heart was bleeding. His daughter's inner voice was like that of a shrew. How could there be any trace of her previous adorable and caring self?
"Wicked daughter! From today onwards, you have nothing to do with my Xu family! All the colleagues in the court can bear witness!"
Everyone was shocked. They knew how much Old General Xu doted on his daughter. It seemed... Xu Yuanzhi could also hear his daughter's inner voice? Many officials winked and signaled to each other, conveying their shock.
Xu Jiao's inner voice paused briefly. Obviously, she hadn't expected this to happen.
Soon, someone followed up. Guo Hongru was the first to step forward: "Your Majesty, I... impeach Official Xu Jiao. Since she entered the court, she has not established a single bit of merit, yet she maliciously slanders others behind their backs. Seven or eight out of ten people have been slandered by her. With her around, the court will not have a day of peace!"
The scene fell into silence. Many officials looked at Guo Hongru. This old brother was really something, putting his cards right on the table?
Only Xu Jiao had a face full of astonishment: "What are you talking about? When have I ever slandered you? How have I ever provoked you? I have always been polite to you all, and I have never said a single bad word about you!"
Guo Hongru gritted his teeth: "You didn't say it! But you thought it!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell quiet, and even the inner voice stopped.
Xu Yuanzhi looked at Guo Hongru in astonishment, and then looked at all the officials. Only then did he realize that these people could all hear it! In other words, all those treasonous words!
The hands and feet of the Xu family father and sons turned icy cold, until Fang Zhiyi slowly spoke up: "Guo Hongru, what are you talking about?" He even impatiently dug his ear.
"Your Majesty, this matter sounds absurd, but, but this subject can indeed hear this demoness's inner voice!" He gestured at his chest.
Soon, someone testified for him. The people testifying knelt down in a dense crowd.
Xu Jiao's face drained of color. She abruptly raised her head to look at her father and brother. Could it be... could it be that they had been able to hear her cursing them all along?
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
