Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

47: PretendingWhen the first ray of morning sunlight spilled onto the earth, a new day began.

The heavenly screen lit up as punctually as ever, continuing to broadcast those eye-catching scenes—the bits and pieces of Xia Yu’s past life.

[At this time, Emperor solemnly promised his elder brother Prince Mo that he was willing to help find his sister-in-law’s whereabouts. However, only he knew in his heart that his sister-in-law was actually already under his control—no, it was Rou’er! But how could he easily reveal this secret of his own accord?]

[Cao Cao: One should not covet a brother’s wife!]

[Guan Yu of the Silver Time-Space: Yes, I strongly agree with those words!]

[In the days that followed, after searching the capital for several days with much mystique, Emperor finally presented the so-called ”investigation results” to Prince Mo in a pretentious manner.]

[Jiu Lai from Iron Space: For an Emperor to act like this, it’s really a bit of a disillusionment!]

[Iron Time Dimension Xia Liu: But I think he’s doing a pretty good job as an Emperor!]

[Iron Time-Space Brother Xiong: Dad, those are two different things, okay?]

[Prince Mo had no suspicions about this; full of worry, his entire being was immersed in deep loss, growing increasingly concerned whether his beloved Rou’er had already met with misfortune.]

[Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: This Emperor is too despicable. This is his own biological brother; how could he steal his brother’s wife!]

[Facing the sorrowful Prince Mo, Emperor comforted him hypocritically, ”Brother, don’t worry too much. I will definitely continue to do my best to help you find my sister-in-law!”]

[Wang Yase: Seeing this Emperor is very annoying; I really want to beat him up!]

[Hao Jiaqi: Arthur, you seem very annoyed with Xia Yu’s past life? Is it just because he stole his brother’s wife? I feel like that’s not it!]

[Wang Yase: I... I don’t know!]

[Hearing these words of comfort from his younger brother, Prince Mo forced a faint smile and said, ”Thank you, brother. I know you’ve been doing your best, so I won’t trouble you any longer.” Having said that, he slowly turned and left.]

[Watching his brother’s receding back, Emperor stood there with a complex gaze, his heart calculating who knows what. Thereafter, he continued to attend court day after day, busy with government affairs. He punished corrupt officials with impartiality and also bore the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the borders.]

[Xiao Yang: The younger brother must love his older brother too; I think there must be some misunderstanding, right?]

[Copper Time Dimension Charlie: What kind of misunderstanding allows a younger brother to steal his older brother’s wife? Two brothers falling in love with the same woman at the same time—one an Emperor, one a prince!]

[Illusion Time-Space: That woman named Rou’er can be considered a winner in life!]

[Under Emperor’s meticulous governance, the Celestial Empire presented a scene of prosperity, with the people living and working in peace and contentment.]

[Iron Time Dimension Xia Liu: See, I told you Emperor is doing a good job as a ruler!]

[Xia Mei: Grandpa, you’re not wearing rose-colored glasses just because he’s the past life of that Snob, are you?]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: But I also think Emperor is quite good!]

[However, perhaps in those corners beyond people’s sight, many unknown darknesses and hazes still remain hidden.]

[But even so, Emperor was still filled with a sense of pride; after all, the prosperity of this Celestial Empire was achieved through his efforts and wisdom.]
