Extra's Path To Demon King - Chapter 197: Defending The Fortress [9]

After a car accident, a modern loving couple, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui, both transmigrated through space.

Zhou Ying became a jinx everyone despised and had difficulty getting a full meal.

Gu Chengrui became the son of a wealthy, cold, and violent family.

They hated him and were indifferent to his wife. With no one to love or care for the couple, they made a decision.

They decided to split up from the family!

They were penniless in their new house, which had nothing. But there’s nothing to be afraid of!

They had their interspace and wisdom to get rid of poverty and get rich in minutes! As the days started getting better, trouble came knocking on their door.

The family wanted them to go back to being their mule?

No way! The couple stood united and called them out on it, refusing to go back!

Their old rival, a father-daughter pair, wanted to steal their house?

The couple rolled up their sleeves and clashed with them head-on! After much difficulty, they finally had peace, but then a disaster that happens once every thousand years came…

I’m an imperial uncle; his imperial majesty’s uncle.

Once, someone with nothing better to do took a comprehensive survey of the current dynasty, and summed up the imperial court’s three great cancers.

Wang Qin leads in corruption; the treasury is never full.

Yun Tang favours a few, forming cabals; leading to corruption in our politics.

Prince Huai plays with power, and serves as the head of a hundred poisons — thus causing instability to the throne.

When they talk about the most venomous of vipers, the wicked one who plays with power, the biggest cancer of them all, they’re talking about me: this insignificant prince, Prince Huai, Chengjun.

I can only say that I feel rather hapless in the face of these theories.

In truth, I have been ever dutiful, ever devoted, devoid of intention to monopolise power, and possess even less of a heart to covet the throne. In the entire imperial court, I dare say there is no loyal subject more loyal than I.

But, most tragically, in all the realm, the matter of my being a loyal subject is something that not many would believe.
