一夜情

Xie Heng said, “Right now, in Lengshui Village, only my parents know about this, and Sikou Qin is already dead. We can’t hide Junjun’s real identity from the Third Prince. He’s going to find out sooner or later. I think it’s better for him to prepare earlier.”

“I agree. But if they find out that they are brothers and the Third Prince takes Junjun away, will you be upset?”

“I won’t let the Third Prince take Junjun away. He can know about Junjun’s identity, but no one else can.”

Xie Jun was the future heir of the Wei Dynasty. Xie Heng was determined to be by his side and groom him.

The Third Prince genuinely cared for Xie Jun, but that didn’t mean that those around him would allow a threat like Xie Jun to exist.

In the eyes of those people, since the Third Prince’s illness had been cured, then he should be the emperor of the Wei Dynasty.

Xie Jun’s appearance would make them feel threatened. They would definitely try to eliminate him.

After all, from their point of view, Xie Jun had the weakest foundation among all of the princes, so he would probably be the easiest one to deal with.

Xie Heng wasn’t afraid of fighting them, but he couldn’t be sure that there would be no accidents.

To be safe, it was best to keep the fact that the ninth prince was still alive a secret.

“But will the Third Prince agree to it? I overheard him and Qiao Heting talking about Junjun. He seemed to be quite obsessed with finding his brother.”

“He will agree. He knows the situation in the royal court better than me. He’s probably the least likely person in the world to hurt Junjun and probably the only person who still cares about Junjun other than us.”

“The emperor…”

“There was a time when Emperor Yuan’s maiden family was extremely powerful. The emperor felt threatened, and that’s why he drew up so many schemes and contingency plans. However, he wasn’t the one who poisoned the Third Prince. I’m quite sure he still likes the Third Prince a lot.”

“What a fool. He wasn’t capable enough to balance the powers in the royal court, so he lashed out at his own wife and children. No wonder the Wei Dynasty is so cowardly. It’s a miracle that the country hasn’t fallen with a leader like him.”

“He isn’t a great leader. He is quite feeble-minded and often tends to be biased.

The only good thing is that he retained his fatherly love for the Third Prince. Perhaps it’s because the Third Prince is the first son of the queen. But none of this is important anymore. Since he was willing to poison Junjun back then, he wouldn’t acknowledge Junjun’s real identity.”

“Based on that, its indeed better for Junjun not to reveal his identity. Da Lang, the emperor probably treats the Third Prince so differently because the Third Prince doesn’t have much time left, right? The Third Prince is a son that holds no threat, so why not give him a bit more love? He’ll be able to make a name as a loving father that way.”

“Chuchu, some things cannot be said aloud.”

Zhao Chuchu pouted her lips. Although she had never seen the emperor before, she never had a good impression of the emperor of the Wei Dynasty.

This emperor had no sense of responsibility. Back when the plague ravaged the nation, the only thing he did was give royal orders to burn all of the infected people alive instead of getting people to think of ways to cure it.

If a few more plagues broke out in the country, the Wei Dynasty would perish without being attacked by anyone else.

Citizens served as the foundation of a nation. As an emperor, he didn’t even know such a basic concept. How could he possibly be a good leader?

“Junjun’s identity is very dangerous. That is why I kept delaying and avoiding attending the Imperial Examinations. I am not powerful enough to protect

Junjun yet, so I have to avoid them for now.”

“If not for me, when do you plan to take the exams?

“It will still be the autumn exams next year. However, Chuchu, your presence solved a lot of my problems. At the very least, Junjun will be able to live past 20 years old. I won’t have to watch Junjun die in my arms.”

“Da Lang…”

“I’m fine.”

Although this was already the second time that he was living this life, flashbacks of what happened still hurt Xie Heng deeply.

Xie Jun was raised by Xie Heng. How could he severe those emotions so easily?

That was why he killed all of the people who were involved in Xie Jun’s murder.

No one knew that he was the one who planned the emperor’s death.

The emperor wasn’t worthy of being Xie Jun’s father.

Of course, Xie Jun didn’t know any of this.

“The ending of this story has been rewritten. The tragedies that happened in my past life won’t be repeated. Da Lang, I trust you. You will be able to realize your ambitions sooner,” Zhao Chuchu said as she held Xie Heng’s hand.

Xie Heng lowered his head and saw Zhao Chuchu’s hand grabbing his hand firmly. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He flipped his hand over and grabbed Zhao Chuchu’s palm. “Chuchu, I’m not upset. I’m just reflecting on what happened. I must have been an extremely kind and generous person in my life before the previous one. Otherwise, why was God so kind toward me and gave me such an opportunity?”

“I’m sure you were.”

Xie Heng smiled.

“It’s getting late, let’s go to bed. I need to head to the academy first thing in the morning. I’ll write down Junjun’s homework now. Please supervise him tomorrow.”
