Chapter 94 Demonic Aura
In the dusk, the city of Xinzheng, which was built during the reign of King Yi and Duke Xuan of Xuan, has gradually declined after nearly five hundred years, just like the country's power.
“Bang!”
The sound of the door being pushed hard woke up two people who were in the room with disheveled clothes and were doing something shameful. The man was unremarkable except that he was quite strong. The woman, on the other hand, had beautiful eyebrows, phoenix eyes, rosy cheeks, charming eyes, and skin as white as snow, which was looming and very moving.
The two of them looked out the door in panic. When the man saw them, his face was filled with panic and he said in astonishment, "Brother, you are not..."
The woman was relieved, kicked the naked man off the bed, and leaned on the bed, crying, "Brother, Chang forced me, please help me."
Gongzi Chang was not surprised by Zheng Ji's reaction. Zheng Taizi Chan looked at the scene in anger and roared: "Ji Chang, I will not stop until I kill you."
He raised the sword in his hand and went straight to kill his brother. Gongzi Chang did not expect that Prince Chan would want to kill him because of this matter, so he begged for mercy: "Brother, spare my life, I dare not do it again."
Prince Chan was not willing to listen. There was no affection between royal family members, and they were no different from strangers. Princess Xi was his dearest one, and now he was extremely angry and was determined to kill his brother.
Gongzi Chang dodged and said, "Brother, you are the crown prince of Zheng. Only when you inherit the throne in the future can you be with Xi forever.
If you kill your brother like this now, will the nobles let you go?
Will your father pass the throne to you?
This is not good for you.
If something unexpected happens to you, will you still be able to interact with Xi?
I promise you that I will never come to look for you again!"
As he said this, Gongzi Chang's heart was bleeding. After all, Zheng Ji was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, but Crown Prince Chan was too powerful to be provoked.
Gongzi Chang's words all hit the most critical point in Prince Chan's heart, which made him hesitate. Seeing that Prince Chan was still hesitating, Gongzi Chang immediately placed a heavy bet and said, "Brother, Xi is pregnant with your child!"
"What?!"
Prince Chan was stunned on the spot. Gongzi Chang took this opportunity to slip out of the room. Prince Chan ran to the bedside and held his hand and asked, "Xi, is what Ji Chang said true?"
Zheng Ji's eyes moved as she sobbed, "That's right. I was worried about hurting the baby in my arms, so Ji Chang forced me to do this. Brother, you are all in my heart."
Prince Chan was mesmerized by Zheng Ji's gentle words and kept saying, "I know you have a child, this is a good thing."
Zheng Ji asked: "I haven't even married yet, and...
If my father asks, what should I say?"
This made Prince Chan at a loss for words. Although there were countless things that went against human ethics among the various countries, they could not be brought to the table after all.
Prince Chan said hesitantly: "Why don't I give up the position of Crown Prince, and you and I go abroad. I don't care about the so-called position of Marquis of Zheng."
The two were still being affectionate here, but they didn't expect that the young master would often escape from the house. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. Thinking of Zheng Ji's beauty, adhering to the principle of destroying her if they couldn't get her, they actually went straight to the palace of Marquis Zheng.
He bowed, his face full of sorrow, "Father, I saw the Crown Prince Chan having an affair with Xi in the palace.
If this gets out, will the reputation of the Zheng royal family still be preserved?
Now the various noble families are eyeing the royal family covetously. If the people are completely disappointed with the royal family, I am afraid that even the city of Xinzheng will not be able to be saved."
When Duke Zheng heard this, he was naturally furious, and immediately led his servants to deal with Crown Prince Chan. Crown Prince Chan and Zheng Ji were still talking, and he did not expect that his father would actually come and kill him.
Prince Chan immediately understood and said angrily: "Master Chang, I will kill you!"
The Duke of Zheng was furious and was provoked by Prince Chang, so he wanted to kill the Crown Prince immediately. However, Zheng Ji stood in front of him and cried, "Father, please have mercy. If you want to kill my brother, the scandal of my daughter's pregnancy will definitely not be covered up!"
When the Duke of Zheng heard that Zheng Ji was pregnant, his eyes went dark and he lamented, "What did I do wrong to have children like you?"
Zheng Ji said with tears in her eyes: "Father, I am willing to marry far away, not in Zheng State. I think this will avoid the loss of reputation of the royal family."
"Now that things have come to this, what else can we do?"
The Duke of Zheng doted on Zheng Ji since she was a child. Now he waved his hand in a frustrated manner and said, "You have always had a good reputation. Some time ago, the King of Chen came to ask for your hand in marriage on behalf of the Crown Prince of Chen. So I will marry you to Chen."
Chen State?
Prince Chan was immediately anxious. The Marquis of Chen was greedy, lustful, and cruel, and was well-known among the countries. He said that he was seeking marriage for the prince, and when Chen saw Xi's beauty, he would surely be tempted and rob her.
If anything unexpected happened, it would be too late for him to regret.
But this was her father's bottom line. If she continued to argue, she might die here. When Zheng Ji heard that her father was willing to let Prince Chan go, she immediately said happily, "Thank you, father."
The Duke of Zheng did not want to see the two again, so he left. Zheng Ji reached out and held the hand of Prince Chan, saying happily, "Brother, Xi is waiting for you in the State of Chen."
Prince Chan nodded with a worried look on his face.
Marquis Zheng acted quickly and finished all matters in just three days. He was really worried that Zheng Ji's pregnancy would become apparent and it would be difficult to explain.
The State of Chen, the contemporary Marquis of Chen has gathered all the shortcomings of a foolish monarch, and the people hate him very much, but the Marquis of Chen does not care. Anyway, the State of Chen is now a vassal state of the State of Chu, and it is enough for Chen to be a good dog of the State of Chu.
Prince Hu of Chen was waiting for his wife with some anticipation. He knew how beautiful Zheng Ji was. When Zheng Ji came to the State of Chen, her graceful figure, beautiful face and affectionate eyes made Prince Hu fall for her immediately, and so did the Marquis of Chen.
Then, just as Prince Chan of Zheng had expected, Marquis Chen actually took away his son's fiancée. Prince Hu of Chen was extremely angry, and was kicked down by Marquis Chen, and the warriors dragged him out directly.
Zheng Ji didn't expect such a thing to happen as soon as she arrived in Chen State, and she couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Prince Hu of Chen was filled with humiliation. He knew that his father was lustful, but he never expected that he would actually snatch his daughter-in-law in broad daylight. This was such a shameless act.
He wanted Zheng Ji's face, and his heart was filled with hatred as if it was being cut by a knife. He even had the intention of killing his king and father.
When the State of Zheng heard about this, it fiercely accused the Marquis of Chen of disregarding ethics, "Is it right for a ruler and father to take his daughter-in-law away by force?"
But unexpectedly, the Marquis of Chen shamelessly replied: "When I asked for marriage, I said that Zheng and Chen would form a marriage alliance, and I did not say that I was asking for marriage for the prince. In fact, I was asking for marriage for myself. What the Marquis of Zheng said is inappropriate."
What a shameless person, invincible in the world! These words choked everyone and made them speechless. As a result, Zheng and Chen became enemies, and the people of Chen became even more disgusted with their king. Countless undercurrents surged in the night.
Prince Chen's depression has been getting worse these days. The relationship between Marquis Chen and Zheng Ji seems to be tearing his heart out, especially the fact that Zheng Ji is pregnant, which he can no longer tolerate.
The Marquis of Chen was watching the music and dancing as he did his daily routine. Zheng Ji filled his cups with wine. The Marquis of Chen laughed loudly and said, "My beauty, when your child is born, I will make him the crown prince."
Zheng Ji was not happy to hear this, but was filled with fear. After all, she knew best that this was not the son of Marquis Chen. If he was to be born prematurely, she could conceal it, but if he was to be the crown prince, something bad would surely happen.
Right here, there was suddenly a very obvious "dong dong dong" sound, mixed with the sound of armor and weapons colliding. Marquis Chen felt something was wrong. Before he could escape, he saw Prince Hu walking in with armored soldiers, with ferocious looks and murderous intent on his face.
Marquis Chen was furious and asked, "Rebellious son, are you trying to kill the king?"
Chen Hu grinned and laughed loudly: "Tyrant! Incompetent ruler!
Open your eyes and look. In the State of Chen, from the nobles and officials to the common people, is there anyone who loves you?
You have acted perversely and been incompetent, leading to the corruption of state affairs.
Your character is so bad that you are like a tiger, leopard, jackal or wolf. You forcibly took your own daughter-in-law and brought shame to the entire State of Chen. Countless people want to kill you.
I came here today without encountering any obstacles. Is it just my credit?
Because everyone wants you dead!"
What Chen Hu said was not wrong. It was okay that he was incompetent before, but the act of forcibly taking his daughter-in-law was too shameful, and it brought shame to all the people of Chen. Many people turned a blind eye to the actions of Prince Hu of Chen.
So there was this scene now. When Lord Chen saw that no one came to rescue him, his face immediately changed into a flattering expression, "Prince, it was this bitch who seduced me. I am willing to give her to you.
I am willing to abdicate the throne to you. If your hands are stained with the blood of your father and king, you will surely be condemned by the people of the world."
Zheng Ji was forced to lift her face by Chen Hou. "Look at her. You can't blame your father for this."
Prince Hu looked at the ugly old face with disgust and sneered, "A shameless person like you, do you think anyone will believe what you say? Die!"
After saying that, he raised his sword and stabbed. Chen Hou wanted to run, but he fell directly to the ground, lying in a pool of blood with an unwilling look on his face.
Chen Hu's face was splattered with blood, and the blood on the sword in his hand dripped onto the ground. He was filled with murderous intent. He stared at Zheng Ji's obviously pregnant belly, his hands trembling slightly, and said hatefully: "When the evil child is born, I will kill him!"
Zheng Ji's face turned pale instantly. She wanted to say something, but she saw Chen Hu coming towards her impatiently and was about to hug her and take her to the harem.
After the Marquis of Chen was assassinated, Chen Hu ascended the throne and immediately took Zheng Ji into the palace. This made the people of Chen even more disappointed, and they thought that this was a tyrant as the previous Marquis of Chen.
Chen Hu was happy with Zheng Ji every day, until she was about to give birth, when he realized that the time was wrong and asked angrily, "Whose child is this?"
Zheng Ji said with tears in her eyes: "I cannot say anything!"
Chen Hu was so angry that he killed the baby and wanted to kill Zheng Ji, but he endured it when he saw her beauty.
When Prince Chan of Zheng heard about this in Zheng, he was heartbroken and said in a bitter voice: "This is the fault of my father and the Marquis of Chen. We cannot let Xi'er live in Chen anymore."
His heart was filled with hatred towards the State of Chen.
Suddenly I remembered that the First World War started with the shooting of the Crown Prince in Sarajevo. A big drama kicked off. This chapter combines several famous ethical stories. Can you see a few of them?
