Rebirth to Zero (MTL)

Chapter 16: The chess game is gambling

The story of the haunting in the fourth prince's house quickly spread in Ye Jing, and became more and more exaggerated. Some say that the fourth prince ignored human life and killed too many people, which is why the evil ghosts came to visit him; some say that the fourth prince took possession of women, and the women were unwilling to be humiliated and turned into evil ghosts after committing suicide to seek revenge; others said that the fourth prince was cruel and unscrupulous, and the king of hell sent him The devil came to warn him...

No matter which theory it is, it is an indisputable fact that the frightened concubine went crazy.

Ling Qiyang was originally very guilty for implicating innocent people, but he felt relieved after hearing about the concubine's sinister methods. It was rumored that anyone who served in this concubine's courtyard, no matter whether she was a woman or a prince, would become jealous if the fourth prince took one more look at her. The mild cases range from being beaten, scolded and tortured until they become disabled, to the worst cases, their appearance is ruined and sold into a brothel as a slave.

Because she came from a good family, everyone in the palace turned a blind eye to what she did. Now she is scared out of her mind. She probably thinks that the people she killed have turned into ghosts and come to take revenge, and she deserves it.

As for the rescued woman, the Shadow Guards had already sent her out of the city, and gave her a package and an antidote to remove the disguise on her face. The woman thanked her and left. No questions asked, no words left.

The snowy night was extremely quiet, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly. Jun Lixuan was sitting in Ling Qiyang's pharmacy and listened to Ming Li's report on the situation outside. Ling Qiyang was weighing herbs on the side and wanted to make some medicinal meals for nourishment.

After Jun Lixuan heard what Ming Li said about the fourth prince that had gone viral recently, he waved his hand to make him retreat.

"It's a good thing you don't know martial arts, otherwise you must be naughty." Thinking of the haunted scene that day, even he felt a little sick, let alone Jun Chengyan and his concubine who were so close.

"I was born with weak strength and poor physical coordination. Master said that I am not suitable for practicing martial arts." Thinking of his stupid self as a child, Ling Qiyang chuckled, "But in order to defend myself, master taught me how to use poison. I will definitely not be more accustomed to it than you." Poor martial arts."

"Your master is thoughtful," Jun Lixuan said. Although his master taught him how to use poison, Jun Lixuan still felt uneasy if Ling Qiyang was allowed to travel alone.

The rumors about the haunting in the fourth prince's house became more and more evil, and finally reached the ears of Emperor Yanxi. The person who informed Emperor Yanxi was none other than the concubine's father. The concubine's father is the minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he is considered a powerful man. His daughter was frightened and went crazy, and he and his wife were heartbroken. However, when she went to visit the fourth prince's house, she was dismissed on the grounds that "the sight of her daughter by relatives of her mother's family would damage the virtuous reputation of the fourth prince."

Although a married daughter cannot go home without reason. But it's really unreasonable to refuse to let her see her even after her daughter has become like that. After several attempts to no avail, the Minister of Punishment visited Emperor Yanxi with a book. From then on, the incident spread in the harem.

The incident with the Tarma clan had just passed Emperor Yanxi's anger, and Jun Chengyan caused trouble again. Emperor Yanxi slapped the folds on the table and shouted: "Tell that traitor to come see me!"
