Chapter 515: Instigating? Who Is Worse?

“Bro, am I really the Third Prince’s brother?” After a long while, Xie Jun raised his head and looked toward Xie Heng. “Why me?” he asked.

Xie Heng sighed and said, “I also hope that this person wasn’t you. I wish you were just an ordinary child from an ordinary family. But you are not.”

“I really can’t leave the Imperial City?”

“Yes.” Xie Heng nodded.

“But I would implicate the people of Lengshui Village, right?”

“Yes.”

“So I don’t actually have a choice, right?”

“What do you think about this?” Xie Heng asked back.

Xie Heng didn’t want to force Xie Jun to make a decision. But there has been no way out of this since the very beginning.

The only way for Xie Jun to live a good life is to be on that throne.

Otherwise, people would try to kill him for the rest of his life.

Or he might live the rest of his life in guilt because many people would die for him!

Xie Jun remained silent for quite a while before shaking his head and answering, “I don’t know what I want. Can you tell me?”

Xie Heng rubbed his head and said, “Junjun, you should do what you feel in your heart.”

Xie Jun said softly, “But I no longer have a choice. If I leave, you will be affected as well. You’ve studied so many years for this, and it will all go to waste. You won’t be able to realize your ambitions anymore. And I will implicate the people of Lengshui Village as well.

“Why is this happening? I just wish that I knew none of these things. I just want to be your brother! I find it hard to accept what you’re saying.”

Xie Heng said, “The Third Prince doesn’t have much time left. Your mother is the root cause of all of this. Every other woman in the imperial harem will try to kill you and the Third Prince to help their son. If all of you die, they will continue fighting each other until one gets on the throne.

“There are some things that you simply can’t run away from. Why do you think they managed to find you even after so many years? Your very existence is a threat to them. Junjun, we can’t choose our parents, but we can choose how we live our lives.’

“Your mother died not long after you were born. You had a treacherous childhood without a home until mv father found you. After that. von lived in

peace for over a decade. But during this time, your condition stemming from the poison often flared up, and you weren’t the only person who suffered from it.”

“Be it your mother or your brother, I’m sure they all want you to live a good life —to be far away from that place. But there are many situations that you can’t just run away from. So I’ve been teaching you since you were young that when faced with a challenge, we should face it straight on. Running away isn’t going to solve the problem.”

Xie Jun said, “Can I have some time to think?”

“Junjun, I will forever be your brother, regardless of your identity. I will always be by your side.”

“Okay.”

The moment Xie Heng came out of Xie Jun’s room, he met eyes with Zhao Chuchu, who looked like she disapproved of what he just did.

After the two of them returned to their room, Zhao Chuchu reprimanded him. “You shouldn’t just tell Junjun about this without warning. He is too pure and innocent. I thought that you would tell him about the dark side of this world early on, but you have been more protective of him than anyone else.”

“He is suddenly learning about his real identity, and it’s probably tough for him to accept this. This whole time, he just wanted to be a little brother following behind you. But what you did just now, sigh…”

Xie Heng said, “The attempted assassination of the Third Prince was not expected. Of course, I know this isn’t good for him, but we no longer have time to wait. Although Junjun is pure and innocent, he is very intelligent.”

“Perhaps because he’s part of the royal family, he is very talented in certain areas. So he is not as weak as you think. In my previous life, even though he didn’t have much time left, he managed to do many significant things in the cabinet. So don’t worry. He will be able to accept this situation.”

“But Junjun wasn’t the same age as he is now, right? That probably happened after you and Sikou Qin were married. He wanted to help you after seeing how hard your life was in the Sikou Clan, right?”

“Yes, that’s true. But if I just say nothing and wait for them to come to us, Junjun will probably find it even harder to accept. At least we can prepare him mentally now.”

Zhao Chuchu sighed.

Xie Heng was absolutely right.

She wondered how Xie Yan was doing now.

The entire Imperial City was in lockdown, and Xie Yan probably suffered some serious injuries.

Is he able to withstand an ordeal like this with his current condition? Zhao Chuchu didn’t know what to say. She hoped that the imperial physician academy had a way to save Xie Yan.

But Zhao Chuchu didn’t expect someone from the royal palace to come over just one hour after Xie Heng told Xie Jun about his real identity..
