Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

73: The Collapse of Consort RouThe next morning, sunlight spilled into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Hao Jiaqi slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually waking up from a deep sleep.

She gently twisted her body, trying to alleviate the discomfort brought about by the night’s activities.

As an Ability User, her body’s recovery ability was indeed astonishing. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably find it hard to endure Ding Xiaoyu’s insatiable demands all night long.

Just then, Ding Xiaoyu walked in carrying a meticulously prepared breakfast.

He said gently, ”Jiaqi, get up and eat breakfast.”

However, Hao Jiaqi stared at Ding Xiaoyu with eyes full of resentment and accusation, grumbling coquettishly, ”Xiaoyu, I already begged for mercy last night, but why did you still refuse to let me go?”

Ding Xiaoyu smiled obsequiously and replied, ”Oh, who told you to be so charming and delicious? I really couldn’t help myself.”

Hearing this, Hao Jiaqi’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she retorted shyly, ”Hmph, I’m not a snack! How can you describe a person like that?”

Ding Xiaoyu quickly coaxed her, ”Alright, alright, my fault. Come, let me feed you a bite first. My arm is getting sore from holding this up.” Thus, Hao Jiaqi sat up helplessly and began to eat the breakfast Ding Xiaoyu was feeding her, one small bite at a time.

After the two finished breakfast, they walked toward the school at a leisurely pace.

When they arrived at Class One, Hao Jiaqi said nothing and went straight to sleep on her desk.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyu felt heartbroken. He hurriedly took Jiaqi into his arms gently, adjusting her position so she could sleep more soundly and comfortably.

Hao Jiaqi muttered dizzily, ”Xiaoyu...”

At this time, other students in the classroom arrived one after another.

Seeing Hao Jiaqi fast asleep on the table so early in the morning, Arthur Wang couldn’t help but ask curiously, ”Xiaoyu, did Jiaqi not sleep? Why did she run to school to sleep so early?”

Facing Arthur Wang’s inquiry, Ding Xiaoyu did not answer, only his earlobes turned slightly red.

Because he knew very well in his heart that it was because he had been too indulgent last night, making excessive demands on Jiaqi, which led to her being so exhausted now.

At the same time, Wang Dadong on the side appeared somewhat listless and dispirited.

Yesterday, he learned a piece of news that was hard for him to accept—Anqi was actually a fake!

The real Anqi was still far away in the United States and had not returned to Taiwan.

This sudden blow made the usually carefree Wang Dadong unable to recover for a while.

The time of one class passed like a fleeting white pony, slipping away quietly amidst everyone’s laughter and playful banter.

In the blink of an eye, the heavenly screen slowly opened again, like a giant black curtain covering the entire sky.

[Emperor quietly kept watch by Consort Rou’s side, like a silent statue. He waved his hand, signaling the surrounding eunuchs and Palace Maids to withdraw. At this moment, only the two of them remained in the vast bedchamber.]

[Emperor gazed at Consort Rou’s peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He murmured softly, ”Rou’er, when you wake up, you will surely blame me, or even harbor hatred toward me. However, even so, I have no regrets. Even if I have to tie you tightly to my side with ropes, I will not hesitate!”]

[Time seemed to freeze. After an unknown amount of time, Emperor finally saw Rou’er’s eyelashes tremble slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. He was overjoyed and asked impatiently, ”Rou’er, how do you feel? Is there anywhere you feel unwell?”]

[Rou’er slowly woke up, memories surging back like a tide. She remembered everything, her eyes instantly turning red. Filled with tears, she looked directly at the high-and-mighty Emperor before her and questioned indignantly, ”Your Majesty, you personally promised me that once I gave birth to the Dragon child, you would let me return to Prince Mo’s side. But now, why have you broken your word?”]

[Iron Time-Space Brother Xiong: I’d rather believe a sow can climb a tree than believe a man’s lies!]

[Ye Siren from the Iron Universe: Brother Xiong, I—]

[Emperor reached out, trying to touch Rou’er’s delicate cheek, but she nimbly turned away. With a face full of pain and helplessness, he continued affectionately, ”Rou’er, my love for you is not inferior to my Imperial Brother’s, and now Imperial Brother has already willingly let go. So, why can’t you calm down and take a good look at my sincerity?”]

[Rou’er sat quietly by the bedside, her gaze falling on the mountain of dowry. These were all personally sent by Prince Mo, yet now he didn’t even show his face. Tears welled up uncontrollably, sliding down her pale cheeks and dripping onto the floor, creating small splashes.]

[”Why? Why are you so heartless that you refuse to even see me and explain things to my face? Have you just given up so easily? Have all the oaths we once made become empty words?” Rou’er sobbed uncontrollably, her hands clutching the corner of her clothes, her body trembling slightly.]

[Cai Yunhan: That’s because she is the weaker party. If she were strong enough, she could choose her own life instead of being controlled!]

[Jie Ke: But women in ancient times were all like this. Even if you were talented, you could only stay in the inner chambers. How could you have your own voice?]

[Emperor, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel a bit of pity. He said softly, ”Rou’er, don’t be so sad. In the future, if we have a second child, I am willing to let Imperial Brother adopt them to make up for his regret of having no children.”]

[Sun Quan: Heh, if it were me, seeing a child born from the woman I love and another man, it’d be a miracle if I didn’t mistreat them. How could I possibly raise them?!]

[Duan Chang Ren: Ah? Shouldn’t it be ’love the house and its crow’?]

[Silver Time Dimension: love the house and its crow? What does that mean? Is there such an idiom?]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: Could it be liking this house, and then what? I don’t get it!]

[Diao Chan: Liking this house, and then being like a crow?]

People from other dimensions looked at the bizarre explanations from the Silver Time Dimension, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat: Are these the famous people of the Three Kingdoms in the Silver Time Dimension? They can’t be fakes, can they?

[However, at this moment, Rou’er had no heart to listen to what he said. She suddenly turned around, her back to Emperor, and said with a choked voice, ”Your Majesty, this concubine is tired. Let’s discuss this later.”]

[Emperor took a deep look at Rou’er’s thin and lonely back, sighed helplessly, and said slowly, ”Fine, I will wait for you to think it through.” After saying that, he stepped away, leaving Rou’er alone in the room to cry.]

[Jiu Wu of the Iron Time Dimension: Not a very bad person, just too extreme in his emotions.]

[Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Isn’t there a saying that one shouldn’t covet a brother’s wife?]

[Wang Yase: Arrogant One, you finally said something right.]

[After Emperor had gone far, Rou’er finally couldn’t suppress the grief in her heart and began to wail loudly, ”Ouyang Mo, oh Ouyang Mo, why must you be so heartless? Why give up on the feelings between us? In your heart, does our affection ultimately not compare to the importance of your family ties?”]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: A Kou, Huyan Jue Luo Xiu, tell me, is family more important or is love more important?]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: Uh, I... think they are both very important.]

[Huyan Jue Luo Xiu of the Iron Time Dimension: Master, this subordinate doesn’t know how to fall in love!]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: A Kou, pick one!]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: Then... family??]

[At the same time, thousands of miles away, Prince Mo, who was galloping toward the border, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had to pull the reins and stop his horse. He covered his chest with his hand, his brows furrowed, and he gazed longingly in the direction of the capital.]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: Wow, telepathy?]

[Xia Mei: Wow! I want telepathy too!]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: Love-struck Mei!]

[Seeing this, the subordinate following behind hurriedly came forward and asked, ”Your Highness, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”]

[Prince Mo slowly shook his head and said, enduring the pain, ”It’s nothing, let’s continue the journey.” Then he cracked his whip, and the steed beneath him galloped forward again, kicking up a cloud of dust as it sped toward the border.]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: How pity!]

[Guan Yu of the Silver Time-Space: Will that Consort Rou be happy?]
