Chapter 266, Cursed No. 13

"Yo~" Kong Xiyan waved at the dusty Imperial Master: "This is our first official meeting, right? Mo Ya's uncle!"

"You!" The Imperial Master swallowed hard, then reached out and grabbed Kong Xiyan's shoulders, shaking them vigorously: "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Uncle!" Mo Ya couldn't help but say something sarcastic: "You need to be steady!"

The Imperial Master glared at Mo Ya unhappily and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!"

"What does it have to do with me!" Mo Ya refused to listen.

"You are the one who found this Plague God!"

"What do you mean I found it? It was clearly the Star God who guided me!" Mo Ya protested, "It was the Star God who told me to find this Plague God. If you have any objections, go find the Star God!"

"It's obviously..." The Imperial Master was interrupted by Kong Xiyan before he could finish his words.

"That's too much... You actually called me the God of Plague..." Kong Xiyan's eyes were full of displeasure: "I obviously helped a lot!"

"You are clearly causing trouble!" The Imperial Master and Mo Ya said in unison.

"Do you know the status of Bishop Gewat in Xing'ertang?" Mo Ya looked at Kong Xiyan: "If you attack him, even Aunt Queen can't protect you! Bishop Gewat is a very fanatical believer in Xing'ertang!"

"I know you're a capable person, but this isn't that simple!" The Imperial Master also frowned. "Bishop Gewart's status is special. If the royal family could be eliminated, they wouldn't have kept him alive until now! Don't be impulsive!"

"You guys..." Kong Xiyan blinked and looked at the Imperial Master and Mo Ya: "Are you worried about me~"

"Can you grasp the key point?" Mo Ya's mouth twitched, and she really wanted to hit someone.

"There's something I'd really like to know. The information I found mentioned a taboo in Xing'erqun that no one talks about: Black Number 13." Kong Xiyan tapped the tabletop with her fingertips. "There's also talk of this being cursed. Could you give me a detailed explanation?"

"What's this about Curse Number 13? I've never heard of it." Mo Ya crossed her arms and frowned, "Are you trying to bluff me again?"

"Whether it is a bluff or not, you should ask Xing Ertang's Imperial Master." Kong Xiyan looked at the Imperial Master and revealed a deep smile.

"How do you know?" The Imperial Master frowned.

This is Xing Erxuan's taboo, even Mo Ya doesn't know it.

"Of course I have my own ways. If I want to know, I can even find out what color underwear your king wears every day!" Kong Xiyan crossed her arms and raised her chin.

Mo Ya and the Imperial Master both showed strange expressions.

Luo Zhenxuan on the side nodded: "She really can know."

After all, my poor grandfather is an example. The color of his underwear is no longer a private matter.

Even if it turns into titanium, its strength is still certain.

The Imperial Master sighed and spoke slowly, "13 is often considered an ominous number in the West, and there are similar stories in Xing'ertang.

It tells the story that many years ago, there was a beautiful princess who observed the situation in the sea area near Xing'ertang and warned the fishermen not to go out to sea to fish as they might encounter danger.

The fishermen did not believe her, so she revealed her true identity in front of them and claimed that she was the incarnation of the star god.

And XIII was written in black paint on the wooden floor of the port.

Some people believed it, some people didn't.

Those who believed escaped the disaster, but those who did not believe encountered unprecedented storms and suffered a shipwreck.

"Ah!" Starla screamed, "That banned book!"

The banned book that Luo Zhenxuan brought back from the Vatican tells this story!

Starla quickly handed the book to the national teacher.

The Imperial Master flipped through the book briefly and nodded. "What's not written in this book is that, ever since that incident, every princess has been honored as the incarnation of the Star God, and the one assisting the princess is a Saint designated by the Star God."

"This story sounds good and normal, why is it listed as a banned book?" Stella was puzzled.

The Imperial Master continued, “When the King of Leon, then still the Prince of Leon, insisted on marrying my sister, this incident caused dissatisfaction in the Holy See.

The whole country is also full of doubts.

One day, on the outer wall of the Vatican, the number XIII appeared in Roman characters, painted in black, full of menace.

"Why does this sound so much like the Vatican is directing and acting out this whole thing?" Mo Ya's mouth twitched. Even a child like her found this too strange, too bizarre to be true. "They're really going to great lengths to interfere with other people's marriages!"

"At first, the royal family thought the same. Prince Leon was furious, saying that no matter what punishment the Star God sent down, he would willingly accept it. He just wanted to marry my sister, even if it meant he would no longer be the prince of this country or the future king of Xing Ertang."

"He really loves beauty more than the throne." Kong Xiyan nodded. "But is it really okay for such a person to become the king of Xing Ertang?"

"At least for now, Xing'ertang is developing quite well. The main reason is that my Queen Aunt has a keen sense of politics and economics. Many of her suggestions have been adopted by the royal family. Although the royal family dislikes a Chinese queen, they cannot help but admire the Queen Aunt's methods!" Mo Ya waved her little fist, her eyes full of admiration: "Uncle, is the Vatican's donkey out of money?"

"That's called being at the end of one's rope!" Kong Xiyan rolled her eyes at Mo Ya and said, "Study Chinese well!"

Mo Ya puffed out her cheeks, Chinese is so difficult!

"Everyone felt that the Vatican was going too far, and coupled with Prince Leon's resolute attitude, the conflict between the Vatican and the royal family was on the verge of breaking out, and the public's trust in the Vatican was shaken.

Then, something big happened.

At dawn, a fire broke out in a courtyard near the Holy See. That courtyard was usually where the Star God Holy See took in homeless people and the elderly, weak, and disabled who were waiting for porridge. Although the Holy See immediately organized personnel to put out the fire, 13 people still died.

"Exactly 13 people?" Kong Xiyan frowned. How could it be such a coincidence?

"At the time, the Vatican accused the royal family of inaction, accusing the prince of divine punishment because he disrespected the guidance of the Star God and acted on his own. They also claimed to inform the believers, but the former bishop insisted that the people had the right to know the truth." The Imperial Preceptor's expression grew increasingly serious. "Prince Leon was tormented every day during that time. On one side were the people he was responsible for, and on the other was the woman he loved."

"What happened next?" Mo Ya looked at the Imperial Master nervously, and Stella also swallowed.

"At that time, my sister decided to leave Xing'ertang, but Prince Leon was unwilling to let my sister go. He said that my sister was just under too much pressure, so he invited your mother and me to visit her and invited us to attend the grand wedding." The national teacher raised his hand and gently stroked Mo Ya's head.

"Wow... He's so carefree! Even at this time, he's still thinking about getting married..." Kong Xiyan's mouth twitched: "Didn't he investigate the truth behind the fire?"

"We checked, but found nothing." The Imperial Master shook his head.

"Will the Vatican agree?" Luo Zhenxuan couldn't help but ask, "After something like this, the Vatican can't just stand by and watch the prince get married. They'll probably incite the people to oppose this marriage."

"Your guess is correct, but... the Holy See overlooked one thing."
