Chapter 840: Strange Illness

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Jing Yuge and the Empress were found out.”

Jing Xichen said lightly. His face was expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

It had nothing to do with him.

Jing Yuge was killed, and the queen’s scandal was exposed, so she took poison and died.

The Emperor used the Imperial Tutor’s actions to cause chaos and executed the Imperial Tutor’s entire family.

The Emperor would never let outsiders know about such a scandal in the depths of the palace.

However, everyone could not help but guess that there must be some connection between the execution of the Imperial Advisor’s family and the death of the Empress.

Baili Xi glanced at Jing Xichen and said, “Should we stop the Imperial Preceptor’s family from being executed?”

After all, the Imperial Advisor’s residence was Jing Xichen’s home.

Moreover, there were nearly 200 people in the Imperial Advisor’s residence.

Would Jing Xichen leave so many people to die?

“Heh, there’s no need to stop me. There’s no one there who cares about me. I won’t care about the others either.’

It was fine to say that he was cold-hearted or heartless.

Not many people in the Imperial Advisor’s residence treated him well.

And those who were good to him were no longer alive.

Moreover, Jing Yuge deserved to die.

He actually colluded with the Empress. He was really bold.

Jing Yuge and the Empress were truly in love, but Jing Yuge had many women in his backyard.

“It’s just that I have to go to the imperial prison tonight.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Baili Xijian opened his mouth. He knew that Jing Xichen had suffered too much in the past and had no feelings for the people in the Imperial Advisor’s Residence.

Therefore, now that the Imperial Advisor’s Residence was in trouble, they naturally would not lend a helping hand.

“If there’s a need, I can accompany you to the imperial prison.”

MO Ruyue volunteered. She was most interested in breaking into the imperial prison.

“Thank you, Junior Sister, but it will be fine with Second Senior Brother.” A hint of softness flashed across Jing Xichen’s eyes.

It was good to have these people who were not family but were more like family by his side.

It made him feel warm.

The imperial prison was still rather dangerous, so there was no need for Junior Sister Ruyue to go there.

MO Ruyue snorted, and her eyes met Baili Xijian and Jing Xichen.

These two fellows, one blue and one red, had some unspeakable secret. The relationship between the two was not shallow. It really made him curious.

At night, Baili Xijian accompanied Jing Xichen to the imperial prison. Jing Xichen successfully found the place where the man was imprisoned.

“Senior Brother, just wait for me outside.”

“Yes.

Baili Xijian responded and watched Jing Xichen enter.

Jing Xichen came in front of the man and watched as the high and mighty man was reduced to a prisoner.

There was no sadness in his heart, only joy.

“Who are you?”

The man opened his eyes and asked hurriedly.

“My good father, you don’t know who 1 am?” Jing Xichen smiled.

“Yu Ge! t’

The man exclaimed. Wasn’t Yu Ge already dead?

Why was he standing outside the cell?

“Listen carefully. I’m not Jing Yuge, I’m Jing Xichen!” Jing Xichen sneered.

This man only found out that he had another son now.

“You…”

The man was speechless.

He was stunned.

“You didn’t expect this, did you? You’ve been divining your life, but you didn’t even know when you would die? He didn’t know when the Jing family would fall.”

Jing Xichen said sarcastically.

The man closed his eyes.” You’re indeed an ominous person. You should die early. The earlier you die, the more prosperous the Jing family will be. It’s because of you that the Jing family is suffering from this misfortune!”

He should have investigated carefully and not let Jing Xichen live.

The Jing family had become like this because of the existence of an ominous person like Jing Xichen!

The man blamed everything on Jing Xichen.

Jing Xichen had never expected this man to still think that the Jing family was where they were today because he was still alive.

Therefore, in this man’s heart, he, Jing Xichen, was an extra person!

Someone who should not have survived.

“Hahaha…

Jing Xichen laughed with a hint of desolation.

“What right do you have to laugh? What face do you have to laugh? You should die. The Jing family can only survive if you die.”

The man opened his eyes and stood up, his face filled with anger.

It turned out that everything happened because of this guy.

Jing Xichen stopped smiling and his heart turned extremely cold.” I finally know why I’m so unlucky. It’s because the Jing family is still alive that I’m so unlucky. My life will only become lucky if everyone in the Jing family dies.” “However, it will be soon. You will die soon, and my good days will soon come.”

Jing Xichen didn’t have the heart to do so.

This man wanted him dead, so why would he want this man alive?

They both hoped for each other to die.

“Jing Xichen, do you still have a conscience? You live for yourself and ignore the lives of so many people. You’re a disgrace.” The man shouted at Jing Xichen.

The one who deserved to die was Jing Xichen.

Jing Xichen was about to leave when he heard the man’s voice. He threw two copper coins at the man and said,””Why don’t you calculate it yourself? Do you deserve to die or do I deserve to die?”

The fact that he could live until now already showed that he was not destined to die.

With that, Jing Xichen strode out of the imperial prison.

“Are you alright?”

When Baili Xi saw Jing Xichen come out, he realized that the man didn’t look too good.

Something bad must have happened inside, right?

“Do you have time to drink with me?”

“Of course, I’m very free.”

Baili Xi nodded and turned around to glance at the prison.

What did that man say to make Jing Xichen so unhappy? He was about to die, yet he still didn’t want others to be happy?

“Then let’s go.”

As he spoke, Jing Xichen had already walked out.

MO Ruyue and MO Chengfeng stayed in Dongli for two days before they prepared to return.

MO Ruyue was mainly afraid that the Demon Venerable would find out that she was not in the Demon Realm when he returned.

At that time, he would definitely be punished.

Meanwhile, Baili Xijian stayed with Jing Xichen in Dongli Country, as there was business here that needed to be taken care of.

When MO Ruyue and MO Chengfeng were halfway there, they discovered that several villages were on fire.

“Brother, there seems to be something wrong down there. Should we go and take a look?”Mo Ruyue tilted her head and asked.

It was normal for one village to have a fire. It was a coincidence for two villages to have a fire. It was a little strange for three or four villages to have a fire.

MO Chengfeng nodded and said, “Let’s go down and take a look.””

Hence, the two landed in a village and found that the houses and bodies of the villagers were burned.

Crying, shouting, and moaning in pain were endless.

MO Ruyue stopped a middle-aged man and asked  what happened in this village? Why did they burn the corpses and the houses?” It was not normal to burn a dead body here.

This place was a burial ground. Burning the corpses to death was disrespectful to the dead.

The middle-aged man sized up MO Ruyue and MO Chengfeng from head to toe. With a haggard face, he said,””These people who were burned to death were all infected with a strange disease. Only by burning the dead and the house would they not be infected by the strange disease!’

“Strange illness?”

MO Ruyue’s expression turned grave.. Could it be some serious infectious plague?
