Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

56: Discussing disguiseThe time for the heavenly screen broadcast arrived. Regrettably, the gossip about Ding Xiaoyu and Hao Jiaqi that everyone was looking forward to was no longer on the menu!

Left with no choice, people could only turn their gaze toward the slowly opening heavenly screen, hoping for other exciting stories to unfold.

[On the heavenly screen, the image gradually became clear. First to enter the view was Rou’er’s delicate figure. However, the environment she was in had undergone a world-shaking change—the originally dark basement had vanished, replaced by a magnificent and grand palace.]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: She’s out of the basement!]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: Wasn’t this mentioned before?]

[Jie Ke from Copper Space: Such perverted love is something no normal person could accept!]

[At this moment, Rou’er was quietly resting on a magnificent bed. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and Emperor stepped in. He waved his hand to signal the following eunuchs and palace maids to withdraw, then walked straight to the bedside, sat down, and tenderly took Rou’er’s small hand.]

[Rou’er slightly opened her eyes and asked softly, ”Why are you here?” Her tone carried a hint of laziness and casualness.]

[Emperor gazed affectionately at Rou’er and said slowly, ”I have found a Divine Physician skilled in the Art of Disguise. I was thinking of having him help you hide your true appearance and slightly alter your voice. That way, I can protect you better. What do you think?”]

[Hua Tuo of the Silver Time Dimension: Wow! Disguise? Does it really exist? I really want to learn it!]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: I know how to disguise, but I use a Cultivation Technique; only my Master and I know it!]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: I know. I heard that no one has ever seen the true face of the Iron Time Dimension’s Grandmaster!]

[Deng from Iron Space: Because those who have seen it are all dead!]

[Huyan Jue Luo Xiu of the Iron Time Dimension: ...]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: Who’s spreading such rumors!]

[Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Sounds really cool, changing your appearance whenever you want!]

[Duan Chang Ren: Well, little Wang Dadong, isn’t your mother Blade Ghost the Mother of Weapons? Have her make a disguise prop for you!]

[Blade Ghost: I could, but I have the Encyclopedia of Weapons to research. I don’t have time!]

[Rou’er lifted her head slightly and looked into Emperor’s eyes. After a moment, she nodded and replied, ”Fine, everything will be as you arrange.” Having said that, she lowered her eyes again and fell into silence.]

[Emperor couldn’t help but feel a surge of worry. He hurriedly said with concern, ”But you don’t look happy. Don’t keep things bottled up in your heart; it’s not good for the baby in your womb!”]

[Rou’er stood there quietly without speaking, her beautiful eyes just gazing at Emperor. Although she didn’t say a word, it was as if an invisible force passed between them, allowing Emperor to instantly read the meaning in her gaze.]

[Emperor clenched his fists tightly, his veins clearly visible due to the force. The anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, yet he desperately suppressed the flames of rage.]

[Xiao Feng from Copper Space: He’s angry!]

[Cao Cao of the Silver Time Dimension: The reason he’s angry is just the irritation of feeling his love isn’t being reciprocated!]

[Silver Time-Space Zhou Yu: And more than that, it’s probably sadness and despair, right!?]

[Finally, Emperor took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice sounding gentle: ”I promise you, I will let you go. But... don’t let your thoughts wander. The Imperial Physician specifically warned that a bad mood will also have an adverse effect on the fetus!” After saying this, he lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Rou’er’s heartbreaking gaze again.]

[Xia Mei: Ugh... such a heartbreaking feeling. Snob, you’re so pitiful!]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: You idiot, that’s my past life!]

[Ghost Dragon: Tsk, what’s so good about love? You’ve got the kingdom; why bother acting so humble and lowly!]

[Rou’er gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her mind filled with a thousand thoughts: ”If only the child in my womb were Mo’s, how wonderful that would be. Unfortunately... it isn’t.” After who knows how long this thought swirled in her head, she finally spoke slowly, ”Mhm, I believe you.” Her voice was as soft as a breeze brushing over a lake.]

[Cai Yunhan of the Gold Time Dimension: This is ancient times! Is there such an open-minded man? His own wife is bearing someone else’s child, and even if that person is his own brother, it’s impossible to accept!]

[Ji An of the Gold Time Dimension: Prince Mo probably won’t find out, and Emperor doesn’t really look like he’s going to let that Rou’er go!]

[Hearing Rou’er’s words, Emperor couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, his laughter echoing in the silent air: ”Heh, you believe me? But your expression clearly tells me that you aren’t happy at all!”]

[Rou’er didn’t dare look directly into Emperor’s burning and complex gaze, for she knew deep down that this man loved her dearly. However, her heart already belonged to another—Prince Mo, his own brother related by blood.]

[In the end, Rou’er couldn’t help but advise, ”Although you are the ruler of a nation and a competent, good Emperor, in matters of the heart, you are a complete hypocrite! You actually disregarded brotherly affection, forcibly took me from the man I love, and hid me in a dark basement. Have you never thought that one day the truth will come out? At that time, you two brothers might not even be able to maintain your sibling bond.”]

[Xiao Yang: Huh? This is advice? This is more like an interrogation, right?]

[Diao Chan of the Silver Time Dimension: Is it really okay for brothers to fight?]

[Emperor’s eyes gradually became crazed, as if burning with a raging fire. He shouted hoarsely, ”I don’t care! I don’t care about anything! The only thing I care about is you!” Before his words could fade, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged Rou’er tightly, then kissed her lips frantically like a storm. Just as his reason was about to be swallowed by desire, he suddenly realized that Rou’er was currently pregnant, so he used all his strength to restrain his surging emotions.]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: If there were Special Abilities in these ancient times, this Emperor would have fallen into demonhood long ago!]

[Duan Chang Ren: He’s already suffered Qi Deviation!]

[Facing this man who was nearly out of control, Rou’er appeared surprisingly calm, as if she had no fear of any action he might take next.]

[Rou’er parted her vermilion lips and said softly, ”You should go back. Otherwise, if the Emperor stays with me for too long, those concubines in the harem will probably get suspicious again.” A hint of worry showed on her beautiful face.]

[Hao Jiaqi of the Gold Time Dimension: I feel like this woman is so contradictory. It seems like she doesn’t have feelings for Emperor, but then she worries about him!]

[Ariel from Copper Space: It’s not contradictory. After being together for so long, even without romantic love, there would be family or friendship. Not to mention she was previously the wife of his brother, Prince Mo; they must have spent a lot of time together before!]

[Even though Emperor felt thousands of regrets in his heart, he also knew the stakes involved. He clenched his fists tightly, nodded helplessly, and then turned to slowly walk away.]
