none new.

The common people are often the worst at remembering; back then Gu Kang punished corrupt officials, eradicated the eight great clans, and with thunderous means stabilized the rule of Southern Qi.

Gu Kang and Shangshu.

Now that he is dead, basin after basin of dirty water splashed onto his body, so that even his soul after death cannot find peace.

Princess Fuking, Gu Kang, and Mr. Wen.

That night, the decoction Gu Kang brewed for her was not a lethal poison at all; it was merely ginseng soup laced with a false-death drug.

Mr. Wen and Gu Kang.

Gu Kang and Jiangnan.

She settled down in Jiangnan, and amidst the misty rain she spent a year like that.

Only when she gave birth to a child—a boy who looked very much like Gu Kang.

Gu Kang's face was later ruined, yet this child perfectly inherited that face of his, which was as jade-like as a crown and resembled Pan An.

And even though he was reduced to ashes and smoke, he still guarded the white moonlight in his heart.

All his bitterness and sorrow poured out like water; his whole person felt as if emptied, and he slowly leaned against the doorframe, sitting limp on the ground, his gaze somewhat hollow.

An old woman (generic, not a specific name).

"Your Highness, you should at least consider the young lord; you must not let your grief become excessive, lest you harm your body—what will become of the young lord then?"

Princess Fuking, Gu Kang, the Empress, and the world (generic).

Princess Fuking, Gu Kang, and the Empress.

The current emperor and the Empress.

She never imagined he would die in such a gruesome manner, perishing before everyone's eyes.

Before the emperor, and the Empress.

Yet she never expected that he would prefer the freedom of death over living in captivity.

Gu Kang killed his two elder brothers, step by step attained the position of Shangshu, and with his own hands killed his biological father.

Gu Kang and Mr. Wen.

She turned and walked up to Princess Fucheng, supporting her arm as she said: "There is a meditation room in the rear courtyard; Your Highness, you are weary from travel, please rest a while."

Deep autumn leaves rustled down behind them, making their silhouettes feel especially bleak and desolate.

The infant in swaddling clothes suddenly cried out a couple of times, then was soothed again.

After Gu Jiu Ling's mishap, the two young children also once fell into a slump.

He sat beside Gu Jiu Ling, picked up the cloth soaked in warm water, and helped Gu Jiu Ling wipe her body.

Gu Jiu Ling, over the past year or so, under Xiao Yin's personal care, her body turned out to be clean and fresh.

It feels as if she is really asleep, or as if time has stopped flowing on her.

Soon after, Xiao Yin wiped Gu Jiu Ling's arm clean; the two children nearby were playing chase in the outer room, and accidentally bumped into the colorful kindness vase.

With a bang, the vase shattered into pieces.

Xiao Yin had to get up and walk over to the two little rascals; he needed to get them out of there, it was too noisy, and it made his own mother unhappy.

Xiao Yin went into the partition and gave a lecture with a stern face.

Xiao Yin's lecturing voice, the children's apologetic voices, came through faintly.

On the inner room's bed, Gu Jiu Ling seemed to be awakened by the noise, her finger twitching slightly.
