Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 715 Fanning the flames

Chapter 715 Fanning the flames

King Linchuan was reprimanded by King Wu and confined to the palace, where he flew into a rage and smashed many porcelain vases.

Fortunately, Ma Qingji showed no signs of revenge, or rather, he had already completed his revenge.

He killed many of the evildoers in the Chixiao Pavilion, and the disciples of Ximashan were even hanging over the door of the Chixiao Pavilion. From then on, Ximashan got away and no longer had any involvement or connection with the King of Wu.

Mrs. Chen was concerned about Prince Linchuan, so she cooked delicious food to comfort him, saying, "Since you have lost your job, you should take a good rest, read more books and cultivate yourself, and wait until the prince's anger subsides."

But King Linchuan did not appreciate it. Instead, he slapped the table and said, "By the time he calms down, I'm afraid the boss will have already succeeded to the throne!"

Madam Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Your eldest brother is the eldest son, his mother's family is powerful and wealthy, he is highly respected and has great prestige, if you want to compete with him, I'm afraid your hope is slim."

Prince Linchuan grabbed Madam Chen's hand and said, "Mother, please help me. If the eldest brother succeeds to the throne, where will I be able to stay in the future?"

Madam Chen shook her head and said, "I am alone and you have no family. How can I help you? I think your elder brother is kind-hearted and the prince has few children. He still has to rely on you, his brother."

"I don't accept it!" King Linchuan's eyes turned red and he said, "I don't accept it!"

"When the Five Gods were still alive, they had their eyes on me. It's not like I didn't have a chance, but they were punished by the heavens, and I'm left with nothing but the regret of collecting the debt." King Linchuan gritted his teeth and said, "I originally had 100,000 ghost soldiers under my command, and I gave them to my father to lead. In the end, they disappeared for unknown reasons. I'm afraid they were also punished by the heavens."

He looked at Madam Chen like a trapped animal and said, "I had a chance. The boss shouldn't have come back alive!"

Madam Chen was startled. She looked around and confirmed that the servants had already left before she said, "The mouth can cause trouble. Don't talk nonsense."

Prince Linchuan knelt in front of Madam Chen and said, "Mother, please help me."

Madam Chen looked at his painful and unwilling expression, closed her eyes and said, "I am just a woman, and a concubine, how can I help you?"

King Linchuan said: "I know mother can do it."

Madam Chen looked at Prince Linchuan and heard him say something absurd: "You sleep in the same bed with my father. With a little trick, you can make him infatuated and pass the throne to me."

Madam Chen shook off Prince Linchuan's hand and said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

King Linchuan said with red eyes: "I know you can, otherwise you wouldn't have become his concubine, and you wouldn't have given birth to me safely!"

“Shut up!” Madam Chen slapped Prince Linchuan on the face, tears almost falling from her eyes. She said, “I had no choice. If it weren’t for Wutong Shenzhongdao who stopped me and sent me here, you should have been born in an ordinary family.”

King Linchuan said: "An ordinary family? Was I born to release the ghost king of Juliu tribe from the human world? I was not born in the human world to be an ordinary person!"

Mrs. Chen's fingertips trembled with anger and said, "That's your father!"

King Linchuan said: "My father is the King of Wu, not the King of Ghosts!"

Mrs. Chen was in agony, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said, "If you were born in the underworld, you would always be a ghost in the underworld, and there would be no possibility of reincarnation. If it weren't for you, how could your father take such a big risk, and why would I come to the human world!"

King Linchuan did not believe it and said, "No matter how nice his words are, he just wants to borrow me to return to the living world. He is just using me."

The mother and son looked at each other. Mrs. Chen felt that he looked more and more unfamiliar, and had long lost his original appearance.

King Linchuan's eyes were filled with desire. He begged, "Mother, please help me! At least lift my confinement and give me another chance to fight!"

Mrs. Chen wiped away the two tears from her eyes, closed her eyes to calm down, and said, "I will help you."

Having said that, he turned and left Prince Linchuan's bedroom.

Prince Linchuan shouted from behind: "Thank you, mother!"

Mrs. Chen did not stop, but two tears welled up in her eyes, which she wiped away with an expressionless face.

After returning to her own residence, Mrs. Chen was stunned for a long time. She didn't know why, but she felt that no matter how beautiful and prosperous the world was, it was no longer interesting.

The lights in the mansion were lit.

Mrs. Chen suddenly heard someone knocking on the window. She walked to the window and saw a little fat baby bowing in front of the window.

Madam Chen forced herself to cheer up and said, "Fat Ghost, why are you here?"

The Fat Ghost said, "Now that the Great City God has not yet taken office, I can still sneak in, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do so in the future. Last time, Madam helped the Immortal to perform a ritual, and the Immortal said that Madam had made meritorious contributions while atoning for her crime, and allowed me to come and tell you the good news."

Mrs. Chen was delighted and asked, "Can you reduce the king's punishment?"

The Fat Ghost said, "I don't know. Your Majesty's sentence has not yet been determined."

Mrs. Chen wondered, "Why hasn't the sentence been determined yet?"

The Fat Ghost said, "Because the young master's merits and demerits have not yet been determined. The king and his wife brought the young master back to life, and all the sins and punishments will have to wait until the young master dies before they can be settled."

Mrs. Chen felt as if a huge stone had sank in her heart. She asked with difficulty, "Now that he has been reincarnated as a human being, shouldn't he bear the responsibility for his own achievements and mistakes?"

The fat ghost shook his head and said, "I heard from the chief judge of Yue Mansion that although the merits and demerits are to be borne by oneself, the cause was caused by the king and his wife, so they will inevitably be implicated."

Mrs. Chen fell down on the bed, unable to calm the surging emotions in her heart for a long time.

The fat ghost looked at Madam Chen in confusion and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Madam Chen looked at the fat ghost and said, "Excuse me, please help me ask, if I surrender myself and am willing to help the Yue family close the case, can it be considered as meritorious service and have my sentence reduced?"

"Turn yourself in? Assist the Yue family to close the case?"

The fat ghost repeated Mrs. Chen's words verbatim. Gong Mengbi was a little surprised: "Did I hit too hard? Will it be discovered later?"

Chen Jingrui killed Taoist Zhang in front of King Linchuan, splattering King Linchuan with blood. When King Linchuan's mood was fluctuating greatly, the anger in his heart naturally fell on him accidentally.

In order to avoid being discovered, Gong Mengbi did not deliberately stir up trouble like he did with Taoist Zhang, causing smoke to rise everywhere. He just focused on him and played a slight role of sparks, but the effect was unexpected.

Gong Mengbi thought for a moment and said, "You go again and see me in my dreams tonight. I also have to go to Yue Mansion to discuss this with the judge."

The fat ghost bowed, then jumped and disappeared into Tianping Mountain.

"Your ability to fan the flames and sow discord is about to become a skill."

Opposite Gong Mengbi, a young man in Taoist robes smiled and shook his head.

Gong Mengbi raised his eyebrows and said, "We are foxes who have achieved enlightenment. People like you who are honest and upright are probably the minority."

Su Shangxian said: "I am annoyed, otherwise I wouldn't have run away from Tianhu Court so early."

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "I really envy you."

“I really can’t tell at all.” Su Shangxian waved his hand.
