Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 347: Extra 3: The Underworld



Sure enough, there are reasons why people suddenly become rude. He finally understood why his aunt would completely disregard etiquette.

The prince seemed to be gentle and refined, but in fact, he was well versed in the six arts of a gentleman and had a lot of martial virtues.

The fourth prince had never seen the prince get angry, let alone take action, so he had learned a lot.

The second prince was also unwilling to be outdone. He had been holding back a lot of energy since he was a child and had long wanted to fight the prince with real swords and guns. Now that the person was dead, those rules naturally did not count. Seeing the prince throw a punch, the second prince sneered and immediately went to meet him.

Looking at the two people fighting each other, the fourth prince on the side could not persuade him, nor could he not persuade him.

The fourth prince was originally a little worried that the ghost messenger next to him would be dissatisfied because of this, but unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have seen nothing in the face of such a scene, and stood aside with his hands folded on his chest. Although he looked a little impatient, he did not step forward to stop it.

The ghost messengers have seen a lot of such things. If they are not allowed to vent their anger, who knows what kind of trouble these ghosts will cause.

While the Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief, he was also curious about how the Second Prince died and why he was still so angry after his death.

He couldn’t help it, and felt that if he asked, his second brother would definitely not answer truthfully, so he lowered his voice and asked the ghost messenger beside him.

The Second Prince, who was not far away, heard the movement here and subconsciously wanted to stop it. However, before he could open his mouth, the Crown Prince took advantage of his daze and punched the Second Prince in the face with such force that the Second Prince almost died again.

The ghost looked at the fourth prince, thought about it, and felt that it was not a secret, so he did not hide it: “He pissed himself off to death.”

After the second prince was demoted to a commoner, the seventh prince did not think of doing anything else.

After all, for a proud person like the second prince, being demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital was more painful than killing him. The seventh prince would naturally not do anything else. Falling from the clouds to the dust was the greatest punishment for the second prince. And things happened just as the seventh prince expected. Not long after the second prince was demoted, because he really couldn’t stand the blow, coupled with the ridicule of others, the strong resentment in his heart, he pissed himself off to death.

The moment the voice fell, the second prince’s body suddenly stiffened.

The prince also stopped moving, and then, under the gloomy eyes of the second prince, he sneered without giving any face.

“Looking at it this way, you are nothing more than that.”

The second prince was almost pissed off by these words, and he retorted without hesitation: “You are just relying on the favour of the emperor father, and you won’t let anyone live in peace even if you die.”

Although the prince had a smile on his face, his fists were suddenly clenched in his sleeves. He never thought that the truth would be like this, his father…

Seeing the prince’s reaction, the pustules of jealousy in the second prince’s heart surged more and more. He had been brooding over the fact that he had not been favoured by his father all his life, and even after death, he still couldn’t let it go.

It was just that the second prince thought so in his heart, but when Emperor Jingwen really arrived, the second prince, who had been aggressive before, didn’t dare to say a word, and didn’t have the courage to question Emperor Jingwen in front of the civil and military officials in the hall when he was alive. The majesty of Emperor Jingwen was deeply imprinted in the soul of the second prince, so that the second prince didn’t dare to resist at all.

Although they knew that everyone is mortal, when they saw the figure of Emperor Jingwen, the fourth prince and the second prince could not control their hearts and trembled violently. Especially since Emperor Jingwen was thin and sickly, and it was obvious that he died of illness, their emotions were even more fluctuating.

“…Father.” The second prince spoke hesitantly and lowered his head subconsciously. Emperor Jingwen glanced at him, and after a long while, he finally nodded barely perceptibly.

After a bland “hmm” as a response, ignoring the second prince’s suddenly wide eyes, Emperor Jingwen quickly passed the two and walked towards the prince’s courtyard.

After all, the prince was a prince, and he had never done any heavy work before, so the courtyard he built was naturally very simple. Looking at the shadowy figure inside through the thin door panel, Emperor Jingwen’s raised hand suddenly paused.

When he learned from the ghost messenger that most people would stay in the underworld after death, he actually had a lot to say to the prince, especially many words that he could not say before, but when they really met, Emperor Jingwen suddenly could not say them.

This honesty came too late.

Just when Emperor Jingwen hesitated, the person inside seemed to hear the movement and subconsciously opened the door.

The next moment, after seeing the familiar figure, the prince’s hand holding the door frame suddenly tightened, almost crushing the door. When the four looked at each other, both of them were in a complicated mood and difficult to speak. In the end, the prince opened his mouth and called “Father”. Emperor Jingwen seemed to have red eyes, but in a flash, he returned to normal. He was used to hiding when he was alive, and he still couldn’t change it after death. Even though he had thousands of words in his heart before, at this moment, subconsciously, he did it.

The prince seemed to have gotten used to it and didn’t feel disappointed. Just like when he was alive, he respectfully invited Emperor Jingwen in.

After that day, Emperor Jingwen naturally stayed. Although he and the prince were still not completely honest, their relationship eased a lot after the misunderstanding was resolved, and they finally had some pure father-son love that they had never had in their lives.

Seeing this scene, not to mention the second prince who was already resentful, even the fourth prince couldn’t help but feel sour.

Sure enough, he really shouldn’t have lived with the prince and his family!

Compared with the fourth prince and his family, after entrusting the country to someone who could be trusted, Emperor Jingwen, who had worked diligently for decades, seemed to have unloaded a burden. He relaxed all of a sudden, reading books and drinking tea every day, and his life was so happy, even more carefree than when he was the emperor.

“Now I finally understand why Xiaojiu was like that.” Sitting on the rattan chair, the emperor could not help but sigh.

The hand of the crown prince holding the tea cup paused slightly. This was the countless times that his father had mentioned Xiaojiu in these days. His worry and concern were beyond words, but his father seemed not to feel it, and sometimes he blurted it out subconsciously.

Although it was understandable, Xiaojiu was indeed worrying, and the crown prince, as a father, was also very concerned about his son, but in comparison… The crown prince twitched his mouth, silently sipped his tea, and suppressed the embarrassment and shame that surged up.

As for the second and fourth princes on the side, their attention was all on the heir.

I really didn’t expect that in the end, the sixth prince would sit in that position. It was really a bargain for him.

Although the second prince looked down on the sixth prince’s background, he was just the son of a palace maid, but he was still somewhat convinced of his ability. After all, if the sixth prince hadn’t tried his best to deal with it, the country might have changed hands long ago when his father disappeared. Moreover, the father had never been very kind to him. He was able to achieve what he has today because of his own efforts. There was really nothing to say.

The fourth prince had become more open-minded now. He was only slightly surprised, but soon he was relieved.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s the sixth brother…” the fourth prince murmured, and then smiled: “Not bad either.”

The prince was in a complicated mood. After all, the brothers pressed him step by step, and the sixth brother made a lot of effort. In the end, he was forced to take a radical approach. But in the final analysis, this was just a normal method. He was not as skilled as others. Even if he was unwilling, he had no choice. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He had nothing to say.

Several people quickly accepted the reality and unanimously acknowledged that the sixth prince was the final winner. They felt that the Ye family’s kingdom handed over to him would definitely continue the glory of the father’s reign in the future, and if he was lucky, he might even be able to reach a higher level.

As time passed, the few people who felt relieved had even gradually stopped paying attention to the affairs of the human world. After all, they were dead, and their children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. After all, they had been involved in all kinds of intrigues during their lifetime, and after death they could finally put aside their past identities and take a good rest.

After relaxing, the few people found that there were interesting things in the underworld that were no less interesting than those in the human world. The prince even took Emperor Jingwen to secretly take a look at the late emperor. Seeing that the late emperor was beaten and kicked in the street, Emperor Jingwen frowned on the surface, saying that it was so treasonous and unbecoming, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he deserved it! The late emperor was so absurd when he was alive, and he caused him so much trouble, and he deserved it after his death.

As for other ancestors, Emperor Jingwen had made remarkable achievements in his life. When he was in office, the government was clean and the people were harmonious. He was also very respectable in front of the ancestors. Naturally, he was not as ashamed and hesitant as the prince. Emperor Jingwen had a solemn face and met almost all the ancestors. Because of his good vision, even Emperor Taicheng received a lot of praise.

In this way, how can Emperor Jingwen’s life in the underworld be described as happy and proud?

Just as Emperor Jingwen was becoming more and more relaxed, another figure appeared in front of several people.

At that time, Emperor Jingwen was drinking tea under the grape vines, holding a scroll in his other hand, with one leg slightly raised. You could even feel his good mood when the rattan chair was shaking.

Infected by such a relaxed atmosphere, even the prince no longer disliked the second prince as before. Sensing the movement outside, the prince, the second prince, and the fourth prince subconsciously looked up, and then everyone was stunned.

Before he saw the person coming, the second prince was still gloating and wondering who this person was, but now… the second prince suddenly fell silent.

Noticing the unusual movement next to him, Emperor Jingwen put down his book. When he saw the person’s face clearly, he immediately spit out a mouthful of tea. His hands, which were originally quite stable, suddenly trembled violently. His face was full of complete disbelief.

Although there is no sun and moon in the underworld, Emperor Jingwen dared to guarantee that it would definitely not be long before he died.

So…

“So why are you here!?”

Without bothering to wipe off the water stains on his body, looking at the miserable and inexplicably guilty Emperor Taicheng, Emperor Jingwen pointed at him and almost shouted in shock and anger.
