Chapter 126 Countdown 3 [Prince Sawara]
Rimei smiled reluctantly, "It's been so long, and Jinjian still hasn't forgiven me?"
He didn't care about the boy's defensiveness when facing him, and kept chattering to himself.
However, Tsukuyomi was only annoyed. He didn't want to dwell on those deceptive lies and deceptions anymore. He just wanted to stay as far away from them as possible.
He didn't want to lose his mind or his current stable life.
"What do you want to say?"
Tsukuyomi Tsukumi winked at the children behind him, signaling them to leave quickly, and he stayed to deal with Rimei.
"Forgive me, please."
The icy-faced man rarely showed weakness in such a dry way. He naturally saw the boy's defensiveness, but he didn't make any plans. He lowered his hands and looked at him quietly.
He actually looks... a little aggrieved?
The spell of love has been lifted, and his presence will not put Ryomen Sukuna in danger. Why... why does he still have such a pitiful expression?
"Why do you have to worry about my forgiveness?" Tsukuyomi was a little confused, and an absurd idea emerged in his mind.
It can't be possible that... I really developed feelings for him, right?
Tsukuyomi coldly guessed the answer that he thought was the most unlikely, but he didn't know that the one he thought was the most unlikely was exactly the right one.
"Let's go back, Tsume."
Come Home With Me
Rimei spoke with great sincerity and tenderness as always, but Tsukuyomi no longer wanted to listen.
He has no home.
'I have no home'
These few words struck Li Mei like a thunderbolt, and her usually cold face almost cracked in shock.
He said he has no home?
He said he had no home!
Li Mei anxiously reached out to him, trying to grab him, but the boy took a step back to avoid her.
"How is it possible! How is it possible that you don't have a home?"
He and Sukuna-sama took him back when he was very young, and taught him carefully over the years. They were so close.
The boy spoke for the first time.
Training with Ryomen Sukuna,
His daily life, from the small things like how to dress to the big things like reading and writing!
The child who crawled into his bed when he was scared and he slowly patted his thin back to sleep... has grown up
But how could he not have a home?
How could his little rose... possibly... be without a home?
"Because you've never been on my side!"
Tsukuyomi shook off her hand and looked at him with red eyes. She was not as calm as she was at the beginning. Instead, it was as if her emotions had accumulated to a certain level and burst out.
Red eyes and red nose
The light shone brightly in the pigeon's blood-red eyes, making Li Mei dare not look him in the eye.
"Because Ryoumen Sukuna and I are bound by a love spell, that's why you're so nice to me!
That's why you always stand on his side!
I was the one being bullied! But you never stood by me and spoke for me!
Just like that day, when facing Ryoumen Sukuna's humiliation, Rimei was clearly there, but he did not refute him.
In other words, he had never refuted Ryoumen Sukuna on his behalf—not even once!
Tsukuyomi feels really tired.
Why do you still want to deceive yourself?
"Don't dwell on this issue anymore. I can't go back with you."
Tsukuyomi regained his sanity, left this sentence and stopped pestering, turned around and left, leaving Rimei standing there in a daze.
He couldn't stay there any longer. He was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and break down and scold more. So, let it be, to save face for both of them.
The boy had just left, and the next second a shadow fell on the tree. Rimei looked up and saw it was Ryomen Sukuna.
Yes, of course it would be Ryomen Sukuna. After all, if Rimei could appear here, she must be with Ryomen Sukuna.
The man's cherry-pink hair was pulled back, and his muscular body was exposed in the air, with the spells wrapped around him in circles and pieces like a poisonous snake.
He ignored Li Mei, his scarlet eyes still following the figure that had gone away and could no longer be seen, staring straight at it, as if it were a targeted prey.
After a long silence, he suddenly spoke.
"He's still angry."
Not a question, but an affirmation.
I'm afraid he himself didn't even notice how gloomy and terrifying his face was when he said this.
He grinned, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "You are so angry."
Rimei rarely responded to his words, but stood there silently, not moving at all.
Ryoumen Sukuna's eyes turned to Rimei, and he said lazily: "Why? Now even you are angry with me?"
Li Mei remained silent, the boy's words still echoing in her mind.
[Because Ryoumen Sukuna and I are bound by a love spell, that's why you're so kind to me! ]
【That's why you always stand on his side! 】
[I'm the one being bullied! But you never stand by me and speak for me!]
It's not... like this...
Sorry.
*
As we all know, there were four great vengeful spirits in ancient Japan: Sugawara no Michizane, Taira no Masakado, Prince Sawara, and Emperor Sutoku.
They really exist.
Nagaoka is an ominous place.
We have to tell the story behind this.
Emperor Kanmu, along with Prince Sawara, was a son of Prince Kōhito. The former Crown Prince, Prince Tatō, was deposed by the Fujiwara clan, but it is highly likely that Emperor Kanmu and the Fujiwara clan framed him for the dethronement.
Prince Sawara was the half-brother of Emperor Kanmu. When Emperor Kanmu first ascended the throne, he appointed Prince Sawara as Crown Prince.
784 years,
Emperor Kanmu and the then Crown Prince Sawara lived in Nagaoka Palace, the palace in Nagaoka-kyo.
However, at this time, Nagaoka-kyo and Nagaoka-gu were not completely built, so Emperor Kanmu sent his most beloved minister, Fujiwara no Tanetsugu, to supervise the construction personally and asked him to speed up the construction.
One day in November 785, Fujiwara no Tanetsugu was inspecting a construction site in Nagaokakyo when an arrow suddenly struck him in the heart. That night, the emperor's favorite minister died.
Emperor Kanmu was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
It was eventually discovered that the assassins were Otomo no Yamamochi and Prince Yoshihaya's men.
However, Otomo no Yamamochi had died a month earlier, and Prince Yoshihaya refused to admit that he had orchestrated this incident.
Emperor Kanmu was furious at the time, and not only was the entire family of Otomo no Yamamoto implicated, but Crown Prince Yoshihaya was also deposed and exiled.
Prince Ryosaya felt very wronged and kept explaining himself to his brother, telling him about his grievances. He also refused to eat and used hunger strike to explain his grievances.
Emperor Kanmu hated the killing of his favorite minister, and had long been dissatisfied with Prince Sawara. After all, everyone wanted his own son to succeed to the throne rather than his half-brother.
Therefore, the emperor did not show any mercy.
Poor Prince Sawara died of starvation during exile.
Since then, the legend of the vengeful spirits seeking revenge in Nagaoka-kyō has continued to circulate. Coincidentally, the Emperor's mother and wife, the Empress Dowager and Empress, both died under mysterious circumstances. Natural disasters such as smallpox and floods also occurred at this time.
As for Emperor Kanmu, on the one hand, he was very afraid of the ghosts of Prince Sawara and Prince Tato coming to seek revenge, but on the other hand, he had to have enough authority to maintain his rule rather than being labeled an "immoral monarch."
So a few years later, Emperor Kanmu ordered the construction of a new capital, Heian-kyo, which had excellent feng shui and a superior geographical location due to the "four gods in harmony".
In 794, Emperor Kanmu, who had stayed in Nagaoka-kyo for less than ten years, hurriedly set off and came to the new palace in Heian-kyo.
He held a grand ceremony in Heian-kyō to pray for the souls of the vengeful spirits and restored the reputations of Prince Tatō and Prince Sawara, both to appease his own mind and to calm the public outrage.
But he was wrong.
Prince Sawara never truly forgave him, and his resentment accumulated day by day until it became a huge body.
[Special Grade Curse Spirit]
Because it involves royal secrets, it has never been made public, so only a few people in the know know about it.
The special grade cursed spirit Prince Sawara was not removed, but imprisoned and sealed in Heian-kyo.
It just so happened that the three heads of the Three Great Families were the ones who sealed it at that time. They knew the secrets of the royal family, which was one of the reasons why the Three Great Families were valued by the emperor later.
However, Gojo Muneto's break with the political world was too ruthless, and the seal on Prince Sawara was loosened this time, and the new emperor's intention was also very clear.
“We need to address this issue at its root.”
They did not inform the Gojo family.
Instead, he contacted the Zenin family and Tsukuyomi Tsukumi privately through Tianyuan through the royal dark web.
Firstly, it was a test, and secondly, it was to completely cover up this scandal.
