Chapter 367: Be Bad to the Core
“Professor, I have heard the story of your past life.
Because of your departure, Daman and Xingyue lost their countries and King Ling was unable to recover, resulting in the destruction of their nations. Millions of people died because of you.
You indirectly caused the sin of killing.
I wonder if God or someone wants you to come back to change this ending?"
Prince An knocked on the table with his fan.
“It’s not like I haven’t speculated that way.
But if we stay here and change history, what will happen to our families in the 70s?"
Zuo Zixuan said worriedly.
In the 70s, not only her parents were there, but also the twins, a boy and a girl.
After King Ling ascended the throne and became emperor, he had to manage the government, and this position lasted for the rest of his life.
Didn't the twins become orphans in the 70s?
"Professor, do you think we can go back if we change history?"
King Xiao spoke up.
"Tsk..., then how can we go back after changing history?"
The Spiritual King slapped the table.
"The abbot of the White Horse Temple...
In my previous life, I got the talisman diagram and the formation from the abbot of the White Horse Temple.
The fact that the host gave me these things meant that he knew Xuanxuan was a time traveler.
Let's go find him, he must have a way to get us back."
"I think it's okay. We will go to find him together in a few days." King Xiao said excitedly.
“That’s settled.
We are going shopping, do you want to join us?" Prince An patted his palm with the fan.
"Don't be so exaggerated, you two.
My two younger brothers usually look as steady as old dogs, but they are actually ruthless and cruel. Don’t show any clues and arouse suspicion.”
The Spiritual King raised his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly.
“It’s okay, we have inherited the original body’s memories, there won’t be any big problems.
I'm leaving now. If I come across anything delicious, I'll bring it to you."
King Xiao pulled King An, opened the door and ran out.
As soon as the two of them left, Hong Xing, Aunt Luo's personal maid, came running over crying.
"My Lord, please go and see my aunt.
The princess poured ice water on her last night, and now she has a high fever and keeps calling for you."
Zuo Zixuan glanced at Hong Xing who was kneeling on the ground, then turned to look at King Bai Ling, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Not to mention, everything here is truly natural; even the water tastes sweeter than that of later generations.
King Ling's heart started pounding when he saw Zuo Zixuan's look.
"If you are sick, go see a doctor. I can't cure any illness. Why do you come to me?" King Ling said gritting his teeth as he looked at Hong Xing who was kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Luo wants to see you."
The Spirit King slammed his fist on the table, "What is she?
A concubine wants to see me, so I have to go see her?
If she wants to see the Jade Emperor, does that mean the Jade Emperor has to come down to earth to see her?
Go back and ask her if she wants to see the King of Hell.
If you want, I can give her a ride."
"Someone come..." King Ling shouted to the outside of the door.
Han Fan flashed into the room. "Your Majesty."
"From now on, if Aunt Luo and her maid dare to get within ten feet of the main courtyard or the princess, they will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
When Hong Xing, who was kneeling on the ground, heard King Ling's words, she forgot how to cry and just stood there at a loss.
"Why don't you get out of here? Are you waiting for me to send someone to carry you back?"
Hong Xing stood up from the ground trembling, and stumbled back to the side yard.
"Did the prince really say that?" Aunt Luo leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face.
Hong Xing lowered her head, stirred the handkerchief in her hand, and nodded.
"King Ling is so cruel." Aunt Luo bit her lower lip, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Jun Yisheng, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ungrateful." She clenched her fists and hit the pillow beside her hard.
"Mrs. Luo, how can you be so disloyal? When has my prince ever had any affection for you?"
"No, no, no, Commander Han, that's not what I meant." Luo Huiru was so frightened when she suddenly heard Han Fan's icy words that she almost fainted on the spot.
“What are you pretending for?
I heard your conversation between master and servant before I even entered the door.
The prince asked me to bring you a few words.
You and the stupid master behind you, don't think that everything will be fine just by bribing the maids and doctors in the palace.
The prince knows exactly what you want to do.
The prince asked you not to kill yourself so quickly. Wouldn't it be better to live a few more days?"
After Han Fan finished speaking, he turned and left, completely ignoring the crying of the maid behind him.
If the emperor hadn't wanted to find something to hold against the Luo family, Aunt Luo's body would have already rotted in the ground.
How good can a person be who would do something like framing the mistress of the house have?
This time, someone drugged the prince and framed him. If the princess hadn't stopped him, all nine members of the Luo family would have been taken to the guillotine by now.
So what if I bribed the imperial physician and the nanny?
The prince wants the person behind this to reveal himself.
This time, Aunt Luo really fainted completely.
Her rude words were heard by Han Fan, who was sure to tell King Ling.
Moreover, from Han Fan's words, we can know that the Spirit King knows everything.
She knew everything, including the fact that there was someone behind her.
How could she get close to the Spirit King?
Is it possible that I will never have another chance?
A study in a large courtyard two streets away from Prince Ling’s Palace.
"You said that the fourth and fifth went to the third?"
“Yes, I saw Prince Xiao and Prince An talking to each other at the gate of Prince Ling’s mansion, and then they hugged each other and cried.
After entering the Lingwang Mansion, they closed the door mysteriously, as if they were plotting something.
"Hiss..., conspiracy? The third, fourth, and fifth brothers have always been at odds with each other, how come they are so close all of a sudden?
Yesterday, several people almost got into a fight in the palace hall.
Go check what's going on with these people."
"Yes, I understand."
Prince Xiao and Prince An, who were running around on the street, had no idea that they were being targeted.
"Old Five, actually the ancient times were pretty good too.
No gutter oil, no industrial wastewater, no smog...
Everything is natural.”
Prince Xiao hugged Prince An and said with a smile.
Prince An slapped Prince Xiao's hand away with his fan and asked, "Why are we the same age? After you came here, you are the fourth child and I am the fifth child. So I became the younger brother for no reason?"
"Then who made your mother not give birth as fast as my mother?"
Prince An pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at Prince Xiao, "What about the race? How can you force it out before the time is up?"
"So, just accept your fate. Calling me brother won't get you any less."
"Hey, Lao Wu, look there are a lot of people gathered over there, go over and see what's going on."
King Xiao pulled King An and ran into the crowd.
The two of them had to work hard to squeeze in.
"Selling oneself to bury one's father..." the two said in unison.
My God, on the first day after I came here, I encountered such a tragic thing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, such a beautiful girl sold herself for just one tael of silver. What a sin."
King Xiao took out two taels of silver from his purse and threw them in front of the girl in mourning.
"Take it and bury your father."
The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed to King Xiao, "Thank you, sir. I have no way to repay you. I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse for the rest of my life."
"No need, bury your father and then find someone to marry."
After saying this, he turned and left without leaving any credit or fame.
"Oh, Fourth Brother, you have a kind heart and are quite considerate to women." Prince An patted Prince Xiao on the chest with his fan.
“It seems that in this era, women are still appendages of men.
It is indeed difficult for a woman to have no man to rely on.”
“Old Five, I’ve been thinking about this since I came out of the Lingwang Mansion.
We followed the professor from the 22nd century to the 70s, and now we follow the professor here again.
Do you think these two bad guys are our previous lives?
Because we did a lot of bad things in our past lives, are we being brought back here to pay off our debts?"
Prince An thought about the memories of the original owner that he inherited after traveling through time.
Maybe it's just like what King Xiao said, these two guys really are committing all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting and cruelty.
They dared to be so arrogant and do bad things so blatantly, not only because they had a mother who was a royal concubine in the palace, but also because they had a powerful maternal family as their backer.
No matter what bad things the two of them did, there would always be someone to clean up their messes.
However, these two people are not without merit.
Although the two men committed countless evil deeds, they were very clean and had no wives or concubines in their house.
He wasn't having any affair with any girl.
The two of them found the largest restaurant in the capital to have dinner.
"Old Five, let's set up a bar. There's no first aid or surgery here, so it's okay even if you're drunk."
Prince An shook his head, opened his fan and placed it over Prince Xiao's ears, and whispered:
"It's been a whole day, and you didn't notice that someone has been following us?"
After Prince Jing An said that, Prince Xiao turned around suddenly and looked around.
I actually saw two people cowering in the corner.
"Could it be that Master sent them to protect us?"
Prince An hit Prince Xiao on the head with his fan and said, "Is there something wrong with your brain?
Those two people had shifty eyes and it was obvious that they were not good people.
Today I saw that the guards at my master's house were all upright.
Many of the men should be soldiers who have retired from the battlefield.
How can they be compared to those two rats?
It seems that our behavior has aroused suspicion from someone, so we have to put on a show.
Otherwise, tomorrow morning, when we go to court, someone will accuse us of being possessed by a demon and will burn us to death."
An hour later.
In the study room of the courtyard two streets away from Prince Ling’s Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have sent people to monitor Prince Xiao and Prince An for a whole day, and apart from their unusual behavior, there is no significant change.
Today in Tianxianglou, I heard them talking about how to sell official salt."
"Are they planning to take over the official salt?
Hahaha……
Okay, that’s great.
Try to be as bad as you can, and it would be best if you could instigate the third brother to be bad too.
If they are not bad, how can they show the goodness of this king?"
“Go to the Lingwang Mansion and give that idiot Luo Huiru a lesson.
Tell her she only has three months.
If she doesn't get the tiger talisman within three months, I will send her and the entire Luo family to hell."
