Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

67: Ouyang Mo became suspiciousWhen Wang Dadong and Arthur Wang returned to the classroom, Ding Xiaoyu was about to ask for clarification, but suddenly the heavenly screen started!

[Prince Mo was secretly surprised and felt very confused by his own attitude toward Consort Rou. This strange emotion made him restless, like a tangled mess in his heart. After careful consideration, he decided he must figure it out, or his inner peace would be impossible to restore.]

[Wood Time-Space: What would you think if you found the lover you had been searching for right beside you, only to realize they were being monopolized by your own younger brother?]

[Ding Dang from the Copper Universe: What else can you do? Turn hostile!]

[Meanwhile, the Emperor was completely engrossed in the mountain of Memorials, completely unaware of the complex emotional changes happening within his elder brother, Prince Mo. He focused intently, carefully reviewing every memorial, seriously considering and making decisions, entirely immersed in handling state affairs.]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: To be honest, this Emperor is truly perfect in every way, except for his pursuit of beauty!]

[Heartbreak Man: If his elder brother Prince Mo could overlook it, they might still be able to coexist peacefully, but I think that’s unlikely, right?]

[In a palace on the other side, Consort Rou was carefully tending to the First Prince, Ouyang Lie. She gently coaxed the child to sleep, her eyes filled with love and care. However, just then, a sudden shriek abruptly shattered the tranquility. Consort Rou couldn’t help but frown, a displeased look on her face. She turned to the maid who had cried out and sternly said, “What is the matter that you are so panicked? What kind of behavior is this, shouting so loudly!”]

[The maid named Xiao Hong immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, her voice trembling as she said, “Niangniang, your... your face?” Hearing this, Consort Rou subconsciously reached up to touch her face, looking bewildered. “What’s wrong with my face? Is something amiss?” Xiao Cui, standing nearby, quickly chimed in, “Niangniang, your face seems to have changed!”]

[Xia Mei: Oh no! It’s over, the cat’s out of the bag!]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: Let’s see how the Emperor explains this!]

[Consort Rou was even more confused after hearing this. She quickly walked to the Bronze Mirror and gazed at her reflection. After examining it for a moment, she murmured to herself, “What exactly is going on? But why do I feel like this face is the one that truly belongs to me?”]

[Jiu Lai from Iron Space: Amnesia is truly amazing; she doesn’t even recognize herself!]

[Jiu Wu: Heh heh, do you want to give it a try?]

[Faced with this sudden change, Consort Rou was momentarily at a loss. After pondering for a moment, she decisively instructed her personal maid, Xiao Cui, “Quickly go and invite the Emperor over. He must be informed of this matter!”]

[It turned out that the maids serving Consort Rou had all arrived later to serve her and knew nothing of Consort Rou’s past experiences. That is why they reacted with such astonishment and confusion when they saw her face change.]

[Sister Sha: Why change the people who were previously familiar with her? Afraid of being exposed?]

[Yi Xiaofeng: Could they have all been silenced?]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: No way? That brutal?]

[In the Prince Mo’s Residence, Prince Mo immediately prepared to get up and enter the palace to investigate. He thought: What exactly is going on? I must first go and ask my Imperial Younger Brother for clarification!]

[Illusion Time-Space: Is this Prince really that naive? Doesn’t he suspect his own younger brother at all?]

[Wood Time-Space: This brotherly affection is truly moving only to himself! The elder brother is sincere toward the younger, but the younger brother steals the elder brother’s beloved!]

[Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor was diligently reviewing the mountain of Memorials in the Imperial Study.]

[He was fully focused on state affairs, completely unaware that the Disguise Medicine used by his beloved Consort Rou had already lost its effectiveness.]

[Wang Dadong: Is there none left? Can’t he keep applying it for her?]

[Outside the palace, Xiao Cui nervously followed an Eunuch, urgently saying, “Gonggong, my Niangniang has an urgent matter and wishes to see the Emperor. Please pass on the message!”]

[The Eunuch looked up and saw that the visitor was none other than Consort Rou’s personal maid, Xiao Cui, so naturally, he dared not slack off. After all, everyone in the palace knew that the current Holy One greatly favored Consort Rou.]

[Therefore, the Eunuch hurriedly walked into the Imperial Study and respectfully reported to the Emperor, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Consort Rou’s personal maid is requesting an audience outside the door, saying she has important news to convey.”]

[Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately stopped revising the memorial in his hand and urgently asked, “Did she state what the matter is?”]

[The Eunuch quickly shook his head and replied, “Reporting back to Your Majesty, she did not specify, but judging by the maid’s expression, she seemed quite anxious!”]

[Hearing this, the Emperor’s heart tightened, and his worry was evident. He immediately stood up without hesitation and said, “I will go over and see right away. Quickly go and inform Xiao Cui to return to the palace and wait.”]

[The Eunuch replied, “Yes, Your Majesty!” and then turned and left to relay the decree.]

[The Emperor was burning with anxiety, hurrying toward the palace where Consort Rou resided.]

[However, along the way, he unexpectedly ran into his elder brother, Prince Mo, who was also rushing.]

[Hao Jiaqi: This damned coincidence?!]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: They wouldn’t turn into enemies today, would they?]

[The Emperor was full of anxiety at this moment. Seeing his Imperial Elder Brother, Prince Mo, he didn’t bother with pleasantries and spoke directly, “Imperial Elder Brother, I am on my way to visit Consort Rou. If you don’t have anything urgent, please come find me another day!”]

[Ma Chao from Silver Time Sphere: This younger brother is really impolite to his elder brother!]

[Prince Mo couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. A strong urge to investigate the truth instantly surged in his heart!]

[Arthur Wang: I’m familiar with this; the Arrogant One often uses his intuition as an excuse!]

[Although he knew this action might violate certain taboos, the impulse to find out what exactly happened still took precedence.]

[Diao Chan: He knows it’s offensive but still wants to go?!]

[Da Qiao: Sometimes human curiosity can really conquer everything!]

[Thus, Prince Mo immediately made up his mind: even at the risk of violating taboos, he would follow closely in his Imperial Younger Brother’s footsteps to see what was happening!]

[Sun Ce: This method is truly foolish!]

[Thinking of this, Prince Mo quickly spoke up, “Imperial Younger Brother, I wonder if I might follow you to take a look?”]

[Sun Quan: If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t use this method! Doing it secretly would be fine!]

[Hearing this, the Emperor couldn’t help but frown, his eyes filled with suspicion as he stared directly at his Imperial Elder Brother and asked, “The Inner Palace has always strictly forbidden outside men from entering. Does Imperial Elder Brother not know this rule? Is Imperial Elder Brother planning to openly break the law today?”]

[Hao Jiaqi: This doesn’t look like brothers; he completely treats his elder brother like a subordinate!]

[Facing the Emperor’s questioning, Prince Mo quickly explained, “Imperial Younger Brother, do not take offense. Your Younger Brother made this request purely out of worry. If I cannot go, Your Younger Brother naturally won’t insist, and I will simply wait here for Imperial Younger Brother to return.”]

[Gou Zhui: This elder brother is truly humble and aggrieved!]

[Xia Liu: This is ancient times, where Imperial Power is Supreme, and the Emperor controls the Power of Life and Death! It’s not modern times; you guys don’t understand!]

[Seeing that Prince Mo’s words were earnest, the Emperor pondered briefly, then nodded and replied, “Since Imperial Elder Brother truly has urgent matters to attend to, then please have a cup of tea and rest here for a while. I will return and inform you after I have clarified the situation.”]

[Inside Consort Rou’s magnificent and gorgeous palace, Consort Rou waited anxiously, her heart restless like an ant on a hot pan. Her originally delicate and lovely face had somehow changed, becoming somewhat unfamiliar yet recognizable. What exactly was going on?]

[Time passed minute by minute, but the Emperor still hadn’t arrived. Consort Rou grew increasingly panicked. Unable to sit still, she paced back and forth inside the hall. Finally, unable to suppress her inner anxiety, Consort Rou decided not to wait any longer. She turned to the maid Xiao Hong beside her and instructed, “Xiao Hong, quickly fetch This Consort a Silk Scarf. This Consort needs it to cover her face.”]

[Tong Time Space Evil Girl Group: We have a feeling they’ll run into each other!]

[Soon after, Xiao Hong brought a beautiful Silk Scarf and carefully wrapped it around Consort Rou’s face. Consort Rou nodded slightly, indicating satisfaction, and then urgently said, “Xiao Hong, accompany This Consort to go find the Emperor!”]

[Xiao Hong quickly nodded respectfully and replied, “Yes, Niangniang!”]

[Immediately afterward, Consort Rou turned and instructed the Wet Nurse who was looking after the First Prince, “Wet Nurse, you must take good care of the First Prince; there must be no mishaps.”]

[The Wet Nurse quickly responded, “Yes, Niangniang, please rest assured!”]

After everything was settled, Consort Rou hurriedly left the palace with Xiao Hong. To avoid attracting attention, they deliberately took a shortcut to the Emperor’s palace. Along the way, Consort Rou rushed along, praying constantly that she could see the Emperor as soon as possible.

Wood Time-Space: That’s ridiculous! Daring to take a small path. In places like this, if you’re harmed, there’s no one to complain to!

They finally arrived outside the Emperor’s palace. Just as they passed a secluded pavilion, Consort Rou suddenly glimpsed a figure. Because she was burning with anxiety and her vision was obscured by the silk veil, she mistakenly thought the figure was the Emperor she longed for, and she rushed towards the pavilion without hesitation.

Upon approaching the pavilion, Consort Rou called out sweetly, filled with grievance, ”Your Majesty, why didn’t you come looking for your concubine? Your concubine has been waiting anxiously!”

Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Xiaoyu, Jiaqi, did you...

Hao Jiaqi: Wang Dadong, if you talk nonsense, you’re dead!

However, when the figure slowly turned around, Consort Rou was instantly stunned. The person before her was not the Emperor, but the handsome and dashing Prince Mo—Prince Mo. At this moment, Prince Mo was sitting comfortably on a stone bench in the pavilion, sipping tea. Hearing the familiar voice, he was also taken aback, then raised his head and asked doubtfully, ”Consort Rou?”

Consort Rou was equally astonished, a hint of awkwardness appearing on her face. She stammered, ”You... Prince Mo, why are you here? Where is the Emperor?”

Prince Mo put down his teacup, stood up, and replied with a smile, ”Didn’t the Emperor already head to your palace to look for you? And he seemed to be in a great hurry, looking very anxious. Did you perhaps miss each other on the way? As for you, your complexion doesn’t look very good. Are you feeling unwell?”

Huyan Jue Luo Xiu of the Iron Time Dimension: A palace consort interacting with an outside man like this has already crossed the line!

Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: But they used to be a couple!

Consort Rou gently stroked the cicada-wing thin veil covering her face, nodded slightly, and whispered, ”N-nothing, Prince Mo. Since you are busy with your affairs, your concubine will not disturb you further!” As soon as she finished speaking, she moved her feet, preparing to turn and leave.

However, just then, Prince Mo seemed to be driven by a mysterious force, and he involuntarily asked, ”Could you please allow this Prince to look at your face?” As soon as the words left his mouth, he inwardly cursed, realizing this abrupt request was far too presumptuous.

Xia Mei: His lover changed her face and he didn’t recognize her, yet now, just because of a silk veil, he can’t recognize her? That’s too ridiculous!

Upon hearing this, Consort Rou’s delicate brows furrowed, and a hint of displeasure rose in her heart. Such an impolite request was truly unbecoming of a gentleman. Yet, for some reason, she did not get angry, but merely replied firmly, ”No... you may not!”

Tong Era Xiong Ya: I don’t think they can go back to how they were before, even if they recover their memories!

Prince Mo realized his lapse in etiquette and quickly explained, ”Apologies, this Prince did not intend to offend, but when I first saw you, an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in my heart.”

Consort Rou looked surprised and responded doubtfully, ”But the Emperor once said that we had known each other before. If that’s the case, it’s not surprising to feel familiar, is it?”

A look of suspicion flashed in Prince Mo’s eyes, and he pressed, ”Is that truly the case?”

Jin Bao San from Gold Space: He’s suspicious!

Without waiting for Consort Rou to answer, he urgently requested again, ”Could you allow this Prince a glimpse of your face?”

Faced with Prince Mo’s repeated requests, Consort Rou was momentarily flustered. Just then, the quick-witted maid Xiao Hong beside her quickly spoke up to help, ”Empress, we still need to hurry and pay our respects to the Emperor!”

Wood Time-Space: Suddenly I find this servant girl quite annoying!

Illusion Time-Space: Exactly! He was about to find out the truth!

Consort Rou responded as if granted a great pardon, ”Prince Mo, your concubine truly has important matters to attend to and must leave first!” Saying this, she hastily curtsied to Prince Mo and prepared to move away.

Prince Mo was currently preoccupied with seeing the woman’s face clearly. Seeing her about to leave, his heart grew anxious, and he subconsciously reached out, intending to pull off the silk veil covering her face.

Twelve Time Spaces: Ah... Hurry up! Pull it off!

Just at this critical moment, Emperor strode in hurriedly. He immediately spotted Rou’er standing there, and a look of delight appeared on his face: ”Rou’er, so you were here? I heard a palace maid say you were looking for me for a matter of discussion?”

Xia Mei: What the! Seriously!

Seeing this, although Prince Mo was filled with unwillingness, he could only reluctantly withdraw his hand.

He knew well that he probably wouldn’t get the answer he wanted from Rou’er today, so he gritted his teeth and said, ”Imperial Brother, since that is the case, your subject will take his leave now and come back another day to visit.” After speaking, he took a deep look at Rou’er, turned, and departed.

Sun Ce from Silver Space: Since Prince Mo is already suspicious, he won’t give up!

Emperor nodded slightly in acknowledgment, not even sparing a glance for Prince Mo, and impatiently pulled Rou’er’s hand, walking toward his palace.

Cao Cao: Of these two brothers, the younger brother definitely resents the older, while the older brother completely trusts the younger!

As soon as they entered the bedchamber, he quickly ripped off the silk veil from Rou’er’s face. When her beautiful face, restored to its former appearance, met his eyes, his gaze suddenly changed, becoming dark and sharp.

”Just now, did you let Imperial Brother see your face?” Emperor stared intently at Rou’er, his tone laced with nervousness and accusation.

Hao Jiaqi: What’s the point of staring like that? If it were me, I’d solve the root problem directly!

Arthur Wang: This shows that he still has feelings for his older brother, Prince Mo!

Rou’er was startled by his sudden action. Looking at the extremely anxious Emperor before her, she was full of doubt, but still shook her head and replied softly, ”No, your concubine did not let Prince Mo see her true face.”

Hearing this reply, Emperor sighed deeply, as if a great stone hanging over his heart had finally dropped.

However, just a moment later, as he gazed at Rou’er’s exquisitely beautiful face, the thought that it once belonged to his Imperial Brother caused an uncontrollable surge of brutal emotion to inexplicably rise in his heart.

Hao Jiaqi: He really doesn’t cherish what he has once he gets it!

Ding Xiaoyu: Jiaqi, I wouldn’t!

Twelve Time Spaces: Is this something we should be hearing? Say more!!

He suddenly flung his hand forcefully, mercilessly throwing Rou’er heavily onto the bed. Caught completely off guard, Rou’er let out a terrified scream: ”Ah!”

Emperor acted as if he hadn’t heard, immediately pouncing on her like a hungry tiger, kissing Rou’er’s lips without a word. His eyes were now frantic, as if he had lost all reason.

Treated so roughly, Rou’er felt a wave of fear in her heart. She pleaded in a trembling voice, ”Your Majesty, please don’t be like this, ah...” However, Emperor was already submerged in his own uncontrolled desire and paid no heed to Rou’er’s pleas.

In the Class One classroom, filled with passion and youthful energy, everyone’s gaze was focused on one corner—on Hao Jiaqi.

She stood there, her beautiful face slightly flushed, her eyes shyly sweeping over the surrounding classmates before finally settling on Xiaoyu.

At this moment, Wang Dadong was staring wide-eyed, fixed on Hao Jiaqi and Ding Xiaoyu, his expression a mix of surprise and curiosity.

Ding Xiaoyu tightly held Hao Jiaqi’s hand, his expression resolute.

Hao Jiaqi took a deep breath, as if summoning all her courage, and said, ”I believe you! But... couldn’t we talk about this in private? Now, it seems like all Twelve Time Spaces are going to know!”

Although her voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the classroom, which was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Ding Xiaoyu smiled slightly, his deep eyes gazing tenderly at Hao Jiaqi. He softly replied, ”It’s alright, Jiaqi. Let them know. This way, everyone will understand that you belong to me!”

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Jiaqi’s palm, conveying warmth and reassurance.

Hearing this, there was a brief silence in the classroom, followed by an uproar.

Everyone exclaimed in astonishment: ”Wow!”

Some students showed envious expressions, while others began whispering and gossiping amongst themselves.

Wang Dadong, whose mouth was wide open and stayed that way for a long time, finally managed to say, ”Xiaoyu, that’s the first time I’ve heard you say something so domineering!”
