I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 289 Set off and advance to Crimson

The night was getting dark, but after a burst of chaotic sounds, a light came on somewhere in the palace.

The maids stood up in a hurry, lit incense, played soothing pure music, and brewed potions...

"Master... drink it quickly."

A maid handed the potion to the lady wearing silk pajamas on the bed.

The lady, whose hands were trembling slightly, poured down half the cup, drank the remaining potion quickly, and rested for a while before she finally recovered.

The woman is Lan Keer.

Seeing her pale face, the maid worriedly said: "Master, please don't ask the palace doctor to come and take a look. You haven't had a good night's sleep in several days."

Lan Keer held her forehead and waved her hand tiredly: "Let me be alone for a while."

"Yes."

The wet nurse continued to sigh: "It's all my fault... But, Master, counting the previous ones, it's only three shares. You think it's a good thing to keep a bowl of water flat, but how can you do that kind of thing... You can ask the old master for help... From now on, if one of the two princes takes that position, you will be the queen mother. Are you afraid that you will not be able to repay the family? "

The maids exited the bedroom one after another, leaving only the rising light blue smoke and the melodious and peaceful music in the room.

Lan Keer even wondered if Sean had done something secretly to her.

As long as Sean holds that secret, she can't sleep peacefully one day.

Maybe it was because there was no one around, and there was only the wet nurse who had watched her grow up, so Lan Keer still had the bearing of a harem master.

"Ugh……"

Just recalling what Sean said, Lan Ke'er felt a chill running down her back.

Putting your hope in that scary man?

And all this is because of her greed.

It's a wet nurse.

The nanny gently took Lan Ke'er into her arms and patted her back gently like she did when she was a child: "It's just a dream, it's just a dream..."

Apart from her and Sean, the only ones who knew all this were the wet nurse who took care of her.

There was distress and blame in his cloudy eyes: "If this continues, you will collapse."

Lan Ke'er said aggrievedly: "Auntie, you left the palace, and there was no one around me to discuss it. After thinking about it, I happened to know about His Majesty's private seal some time ago..."

She regretted it endlessly: "I don't know what happened. It's like engine oil got into the mechanical heads of those weak people... As soon as that kid Bai Si knelt on the ground, my heart was completely messed up."

Lan Youshan was sent to the gallows, the third and fourth princes were deposed and sent to the unattended Poison City...

However, after detailed inspection, she showed no abnormality except for being a little haggard.

Lan Keer leaned on the bed and sighed deeply.

Moreover, after she felt relieved for a long time after returning to the palace, she realized that the more terrifying thing was for Sean to let her back.

After escaping from Sean's clutches, the first thing she did was to put the secret seal in its original position. Fortunately, His Majesty did not notice it.

Lan Ke'er's eyes were red, and there was regret in her voice: "I live in this harem, and everyone respects me and fears me, but I also know that I am not the kind of person who has the ability to scheming. You are here." Help me...I often think that as long as I don't make big mistakes, I can always provide you and the children with some protection...It's just, just..."

The brewed potion was a bit bitter, and Lan Keer pursed her lips and took a long time to suppress all the bitterness.

Unfortunately, this matter has become a lever for her to be held in the hands of others.

"Alas, this matter has passed -" a serious look flashed in the old nanny's eyes, "Whether His Majesty knows it or not, but he didn't mention it, it means that it never happened. You have to remember it. "

When he said this, Lan Keer felt a little relieved: "Your Majesty probably didn't notice it."

"I, I didn't think much about it at the time, I just felt sorry for Bai Si..."

That huge feeling of fear and suffocation is something Lan Keer can't forget to this day.

The old man walked in and closed the door, sat beside Concubine Lan's bed and gently grabbed her hand.

He even said to pretend that nothing had happened, which was exactly what Lan Ke'er was looking forward to, but she was awakened by a nightmare that night.

In the dream, Xiao En met with His Majesty and reported everything she had done.

"……come in."

However, she didn't know what was at play. She just told her nanny about it. As for the humiliating behaviors she had suffered, she found it difficult to talk about it.

Waking up from her dream, she couldn't help but tremble, but she couldn't calm down.

A familiar voice sounded: "Master, it's me."

There was a knock on the door, and Lan Keer used her strength to reprimand: "Didn't you tell me to leave me alone?!"

The wet nurse sighed: "Originally, he wanted to use other things to compensate the Fourth Prince, but he didn't know where the news came from... But, Master, His Highness the Fourth Prince didn't ask you to do such a bold thing, why did you do it yourself? I'm so excited..."

She was deprived of all her titles and thrown into prison. Her father and her two sons were all implicated... With the help of thoughtful people, terrible news even came from the prison.

She had been frightened for several days since what happened in the imperial treasury a few days ago.

It's the great fear at work...

Lan Keer showed a miserable smile and said in a harsh voice: "Auntie, you are my family, and I can only talk to you... These days, whenever I fall asleep, I dream of many terrible scenes. In the end, without exception... my family was implicated by me, Baiyou and Baisi were also implicated by me... I... was afraid..."

His Majesty was furious.

The wet nurse frowned: "Actually, if you find out, it's better to say something. It means that His Majesty is out of love and bypassed you... If you really don't find out, it means that he..."

They both sighed.

The wet nurse continued: "If we really didn't find out and were reported by others, the matter would really not be handled..."

Lan Keer trembled uncontrollably: "But Sean knows everything..."

"Isn't it because of him that you can't sleep well..." The nanny paused for a moment, then her eyes became cold and cold, "It really can't be done..."

Lan Keer got up from her arms and said in shock: "You mean..."

The old nanny nodded and said in a solemn tone: "He is a time bomb... His Royal Highness is scary, but don't forget Sean's identity..."

Lan Keer was stunned: "Foster son..."

"That's right..." The old nanny lowered her eyes, "Whenever a person with royal blood is killed, the murderer will be marked... But he is an adopted son, where can the noble blood flow in his veins?"

"Rather than worrying about you every day and being threatened by him afterwards..." The old nanny made a beheading gesture, "As long as we do it cleanly, His Highness the Prince won't be able to find us. After all, this kind of thing, Will Sean tell His Majesty the Prince? His Majesty must know nothing about the conflict between you and Sean, otherwise, His Majesty would have summoned you long ago."

This analysis made sense. Lan Keer touched her heart and took a deep breath nervously. She was a little moved.

Lan Keer hesitated: "But he is the new Crown Prince after all..."

The old nanny lowered her eyes: "There is no one who cannot be killed... What's more, in the eyes of others, who will the prince's new adopted son pose the greatest threat to?"

"Of course he is the eldest prince who is close to the prince and has connections with the military. After all, the military is the prince's power. With a new godson, who knows whether the prince will transfer the power to him..." Lan Ke'er As he spoke, his breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

The old nanny said softly: "His Royal Highness the eldest prince is powerful, we don't need to deliberately frame him, we just need to do it cleanly... Afterwards, many people will doubt the eldest prince... In this way, we will not only eliminate your future troubles, but also save the two of you." Your Highness, please pave the way forward."

Lan Keer's eyes flickered.

……

"Brother, are you going to Poison City?" Moza asked.

Sean nodded: "Of course I'm going. The records in the information are so clear. Although the crimson mad beast hidden in the Poison City is only on the lower level, it suits me so well. I happened to be after absorbing the second chapter of Crying Directly blend its blood.”

Sean clenched his fists and took a breath of satisfaction: "In this way, I will also turn deep red."

Moza touched the black stick that he had just received, and pushed up his glasses with his other hand: "The control of Concubine Lan is in your hands. She is affected by your ability. She can't find out the problem, but she can't live a good life either. If this continues, she will definitely become murderous towards you, didn’t you expect that by leaving the city at this time, wouldn’t you just give them a chance?”

Sean smiled casually: "Lan Ke'er has neither the will nor the ability. She can take charge of the harem because of good luck and because the people around her are powerful enough."

He opened the curtains and looked at the bright sunshine outside the house: "She is alone. I want to hold her in the palm of my hand easily, but she cannot be alone... So, let us weed the princess' side. "

Moza didn't object, but just wondered: "Even if the weeding is over, Lan Youshan will be the one to take the blame. Without Lan Youshan, won't Lan Fei's value suddenly drop a lot?"

Sean smiled mysteriously: "Even without Lan Youshan, Concubine Lan's value is not low... Moreover, who said Lan Youshan should take the blame?"

While the two brothers were talking, Xiao Ci, who seemed to be doing homework, raised her head and rolled up the things in her hands: "Brother, there is still no reaction."

"Forget it if there's no response. It will come in handy later, I have a hunch." Sean touched Xiao Ci's head.

The fabric-like scroll in her hand shook slightly.

This is what Xiao Ci took out from the fourth floor. She took away the thing that she felt the most about according to what Sean said.

When unfolded, this scroll looks like a soft plastic sheet, with different colors when viewed from various angles. However, after studying it for several days, I still haven't figured out what this thing is used for.

But just like Xiao Ci, the first time he saw this thing, Sean was sure that it would be of great use in the future.

Now, there's no rush.

His mission is to advance to the Crimson.

……

The imperial team traveled in great momentum. After traveling 300 kilometers out of the imperial capital, the two leading aircraft stopped.

Sean stepped out of the aircraft and bowed in a pretentious manner: "Father, have a good journey."

Bai Youming moved his neck: "It's fake, you're not used to it... Just be careful. There's an order from the palace, asking me to lead people to annihilate a contaminated tribe, tsk."

He touched his bare chin: "Maybe someone wants you to die."

Sean chuckled: "There are always many people who want me to die."

Bai Youming laughed: "Yes, since you are confident, I won't say anything more."

He showed a mysterious smile: "Afterwards, if you die, I will seek justice for you. If you are not dead, I will also seek justice for you."

"I understand."

"Well, let's go. By the way, you should be careful when going to Poison City. The poisonous gas in it has not been studied until now. The military secret map I gave you only has two-thirds of the detailed records. Even if I , If you don’t wear anti-virus equipment, you can only live for two or three years at most.”

Sean rolled his eyes, why did this sound like he was showing off?

Poison City is a dilapidated city near the imperial capital, about 500 kilometers away. It used to be a city-state, but unknown what happened later, the entire city was filled with terrible poisonous gas.

Except for some mutants and crazy beasts, there are basically no living creatures inside, and everything in Poison City has its own negative effects.

Therefore, although many precious items were left inside, the risk of entry was always high, and it was often used as a place of exile.

Ordinary people can't survive a day inside, and even the crimson lower layer can only survive for half a month at most, because the toxins will erode additively.

Bai Youming said how many years he could live. Isn't this just pretentious...

After saying goodbye to Bai Youming and Zora, Sean led the people in a different direction and headed straight to Poison City.

Half a day later, a well-equipped team arrived.

The leader wore a mask and said in an old voice: "Sean is indeed going to Poison City..."

It was the old nanny.

The man in black next to her laughed hoarsely: "His Royal Highness... this is the first time you have taken on such a big job."

"Let's go, remember, your hands and feet must be clean -" the old nanny's eyes were calm and solemn, "kill all Sean and the people around him."

"Hey, don't worry. His Royal Highness the Prince and the Red Angel Zora are not here. No one can save the life of this little king-level peak... It's really not possible, ha."

……

"This place is not easy to develop." A voice came from under the respirator mask, and Sean shook his head regretfully.

After resting outside the city for a night, he had already led people into the Poison City.

This place looks very much like the metropolis in my memory, but, visible to the naked eye, the air is a strange light green, and the occasionally strange plants that can be seen are even more ugly.

"Crack——" a breaking sound sounded.

Sean lowered his head and found that he had just stepped on a green bone.

The tattered clothes next to the bones could vaguely identify the identity of the other person in front of him - he seemed to be an exiled nobleman.

"Sorry, buddy." Sean swept the bone foam with his toe.

In order to resist toxins, they all wear thick protective clothing and their vision is quite average.

"Your Highness, the remains of the deceased are most likely to accumulate toxins. Even if you are wearing protective clothing, it is best not to touch them." Ake said.

The deputy captain of Unit 0 and Sean got along very well. To be precise, both of them were fearless masters. After drinking a few drinks, they started peeing in a pot.

Sean went to Bai Youming to ask for someone who was familiar with the terrain of Poison City, and Ake volunteered.

A guide from the Crimson Lower Level who is extremely powerful in combat? fragrant!
