My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

The words still hung brightly in the sky, their dazzling light lingering for a long time.

Empress Shu Jingwei: Lin Ye! Seven days have passed, where have you taken my daughter!?

Lin Ye looked at the line of text on the screen, touched his chin, and was a little surprised.

Seven days? Only one night has passed here. Is it because time flows differently...?

Meanwhile, throughout the Great Flame Kingdom, the people were still unable to process the fact that "that child is a princess."

But then, a deeper question arose—

and many more.

That child is the Empress's daughter, but Lin Ye also said she is... Lord Ye's daughter?

Inside the teahouse, a burly man with a thick beard suddenly slapped his thigh, the impact making a dull thud as his palm hit his trouser leg. The force was so strong that even the peanuts on the table bounced and rolled onto the floor. "Wait a minute! Lord Ye and His Majesty…they have a child? When did that happen?!"

The people around them looked at each other, their eyes meeting in mid-air, and no one could say a word.

Yeah, how come they've never heard of it?

"All I know is that Lord Ye and His Majesty were indeed together..." A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar frowned as he recalled, his fingers unconsciously twirling his beard, breaking off several strands without him noticing.

"I saw the wedding from afar once. The scale and the spectacle, the ten miles of red bridal procession, the whole city lit up with lanterns, even the clouds on the horizon were red..." His voice grew softer and softer, as if he was choking on something.

He looked up, his gaze lingering on the name on the sky—a name so intense it was almost unbearable to look directly at—before quickly lowering his eyes again. "But then…"

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone present understood.

Who doesn't know what happened next?

The newly appointed top scholar, Yao Jingyuan, has caught the emperor's eye and risen rapidly through the ranks. Now, he holds absolute power in the court, and there are even rumors that the emperor will make him "Empress".

He and His Majesty also had a little princess, who was showered with love and affection.

But Lord Ye's child with His Majesty...

"How come I've never heard of Lord Ye having any children?" someone muttered, their voice extremely low, as if afraid of being overheard.

"That's right, I only knew that Lord Yao had a princess, I didn't know there was a second princess?" A man scratched his head, his confusion almost overflowing, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"But that child is clearly His Majesty's daughter! His Majesty himself has acknowledged it! Didn't you see what was written on the sky? His Majesty said 'my daughter'!"

The murmurs on the street grew louder and more chaotic, rising like a tide from all directions, wave after wave, higher and higher, surging faster and faster.

"And where did Lord Ye go? That Lin Ye said Lord Ye 'before he left'—what does that mean? Where did Lord Ye go?" An old woman tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her, her voice trembling, her wrinkled face full of anxiety.

"Has something happened to Lord Ye? He's such a good person, he absolutely can't be in trouble..."

"If that child is a princess, why is she dressed so raggedly?" the jewelry seller shrieked, her voice high-pitched and thin. "And so skinny! Even my kitten is plumper!"

"Why is that child in Lin Ye's hands? Since she's a princess, why isn't she being raised in the palace?" The butcher stood with his hands on his hips, his fleshy face trembling.

"Aren't there so many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace? Aren't there endless delicacies to eat? How could they raise a child like that? How could they let someone take the child away?"

Meanwhile, on the screen above, within that semi-transparent frame, the barrage of comments surged out like a tidal wave.

[Commoner Zhao the Butcher: Lord Ye's child with His Majesty?! How come we've never heard of such a thing?!]

[Commoner Qian Fuzi: Where is Lord Ye now?! Why is that child in the hands of outsiders?!]

[Grandma Sun, a commoner: Your Majesty! Has something happened to Lord Ye?!]

[Commoner Li Dazhu: If that child is a princess, why is she dressed in such tattered clothes?!]

……

One barrage of comments followed another, so fast it was dazzling.

The people then realized that everyone could use this "bullet screen"! Everyone could speak on the sky screen!

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the expressions of the assembled officials changed repeatedly.

Some people lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound, while others opened and closed their mouths repeatedly, like fish on the shore, unable to utter a single word. Finally, everyone subconsciously looked at the Empress on the steps.

Shu Jingwei didn't look at them; her entire mind was immersed in the connection with the sky—as long as she had a thought, words would appear on the sky.

Empress Shu Jingwei: Lin Ye, I don't care who you are or where you come from.

[Empress Shu Jingwei: I'll only tell you one thing—Xiao Douzi is my daughter, the eldest princess of the Great Flame Kingdom!]

Her thoughts raced faster and faster. The words on the sky followed her every thought, appearing one after another with almost no pause.

Empress Shu Jingwei: She has royal blood flowing in her veins, her status is incomparably noble! Only I can give her the best life, can give her royal honor!

Empress Shu Jingwei: You, a demon of unknown origin, what right do you have to take away my daughter?!

Her thoughts drifted to this point, and the corners of her lips even curled slightly, her eyes filled with cold arrogance and disdain. It was the innate arrogance that came from the very core of an emperor.

[Empress Shu Jingwei: If you know what's good for you, return the little pouch to me immediately!]

Empress Shu Jingwei: Otherwise—I will never let you go!

As the last thought settled, her lips tightened into a thin line, and the rising anger in her eyes was concealed by her half-closed eyelids. Like a sword sheathed, but everyone knew it could be drawn at any moment.

Lin Ye looked at her from the sky.

Looking at her face, flushed with anger, and at her eyes blazing with fury.

Then, he sneered, his smile full of mockery and disdain.

"Ha, royal honor?" He repeated the word slowly and deliberately, as if savoring how ridiculous those four words were.

"You're talking to me about royal honors?"

Lin Ye sat up straight. His voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to explode from his chest, vibrating and echoing.

Then his voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Where was your royal dignity when Little Douzi was starving and skin and bones in the cold palace?!"

Lin Ye tilted his head, his eyes sarcastic, his gaze like a sharp blade, piercing Shu Jingwei, who was frozen in place on the other side of the sky because of his words.

"Where was your royal dignity when Little Douzi was being beaten and scolded like a stray dog?!"

He slowly stood up, placed his palms on the table, and looked down at everyone in the Great Flame Kingdom.

"you tell me--"

He paused, recalling the pitiful state of Xiaodouzi when he first arrived, and anger welled up in his heart.

"What right do you have to talk about your bullshit 'royal honor'?"

The sarcasm and anger in their words surged forth from the sky, crashing into the hearts of everyone in the Great Flame Kingdom, leaving them speechless.
