Chapter 519 - 519: That Could Be His Son (2)



“He’s fine so far. He’s not in any mortal danger for now.” Zhao Chuchu rubbed her head and asked, “Were you frightened?”

“Yes, a little. I was afraid that something bad would happen to the Third Prince, and I was worried that something would also happen to vou.’

“Sis is going to be fine.”

“But Sis, why did you say that the Third Prince isn’t in any mortal danger for now?”

Xie Jun was very sharp. He managed to catch the keyword in Zhao Chuchu’s answer.

Zhao Chuchu said, “When I was trying to save the Third Prince, someone tried to poison him right in front of the emperor.”

Xie Jun’s eyes widened. “Why?” he asked.

“Because someone doesn’t want the Third Prince to be alive. That’s why I said that he’s not in any mortal danger for now. However, I don’t know if someone might try to poison him again.”

Xie Jun didn’t know what to say for a long while.

“Junjun, the royal family’s matter is extremely complex. Let’s not ask too many questions about it. It’s not good for us to know too much.” Zhao Chuchu pretended not to know about Xie Jun’s real identity.

Xie Jun nodded, feeling rather conflicted about it.

For the rest of their time there, Zhao Chuchu checked on Xie Yan to track his injury and recovery status.

Because of the whole poisoning incident, the emperor sent over his close guards to look after Xie Yan. No one from the imperial physician academy was allowed to go near Xie Yan.

Zhao Chuchu secretly used her healing power on Xie Yan every day so he could recover faster.

Soon, the spring examinations commenced.

Xie Heng was finally allowed to leave the Third Prince’s palace to attend the Conference Examination.

But both Zhao Chuchu and Xie Jun were forced to stay at the Third Prince’s residence.

The proceedings of the Conference Examination were the same as the Provincial Examination. Candidates had to take three exams over the course of nine days.

Every day, Xie Jun wished that the Conference Examination was over sooner. He kept asking Zhao Chuchu whether Xie Heng could become an advanced scholar.

Zhao Chuchu said helplessly, “Other people don’t believe in your brother, but you believe in him, right? So if he knew that you were doubting his ability like this, he would be very unhappy!”

“I’m not doubting him. I just hope that he can do well on the exam.”

How nice would it be if Xie Heng could obtain number one in this competition and become the Number One Scholar nationally?

Compared to Xie Yan, Xie Jun believed in Xie Heng more.

After all, Xie Heng was the one who raised him. No one knows better than him how well Xie Heng treated him.

Xie Yan’s condition improved significantly over time. During the day, he could go outside by having someone push him out in a wheelchair. He just happened to hear what Xie Jun said. He smiled and answered, “Junjun, your brother’s abilities are indubitably strong. If no accidents happen, he should be able to become an advanced scholar.”

This was the first time that Xie Jun met after learning about his real identity. He couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. So he quietly moved a little closer to

Zhao Chuchu.

Zhao Chuchu laughed and patted his back.

When Xie Yan saw how Xie Jun was hiding from him, he knew that Xie Heng had already told Xie Jun about his real identity.

He smiled and said, “Why are you acting so distant today, Junjun?”

“I’m not,” Xie Jun denied. “Are, are you feeling better?”

“I’m feeling much better, thank you. How’s your stay at the Third Prince’s

Palace been for the past few days? Did any of the servants mistreat you?” “No, they were all very good to me. They brought me quite a lot of books.” “That’s great.”

“Third Prince, when can we return home?” Xie Jun mustered the courage to ask that. Since the start of the conversation, he had not called Xie Yan “Third Brother.”

Xie Yan felt a little upset. But he could understand Xie Jun’s feelings when he thought about it.

“Not right now,” Xie Yan said. “Once your brother finishes the Temple

Examination, you can go home.”

‘Why?”

“I still haven’t recovered fully. My father won’t let you leave.”

“Oh. ”

Xie Jun remembered his identity again and started thinking about the father he had not met yet.

Is the emperor his father?

This thought made Xie Jun feel rather absurd.

But he had no impression of the father. To him, the emperor seemed like someone who sat high above and didn’t understand the pain that the people suffered. The moment there was a plague, he wanted to burn everyone alive.

Xie Jun didn’t really like the emperor.

If it weren’t for Sis, he would have been dead by now.

“Junjun, what are you thinking about?” Xie Yan asked gently. “If there’s anything that you would like to eat, you can just ask any of the servants. If they dare to ignore your requests, just let me know.”

“There’s nothing that I want to eat right now.”

Come to think of it, ever since Xie Jun arrived at the Third Prince’s residence, the weight that he had taken a lot of effort to gain had started to dwindle. The boy was visibly slimming down.

Xie Yan felt quite sad about it, but there was nothing he could do.

“Third Prince, I need to return and do my homework now. My brother left me a lot of homework before he left for the exams. He will punish me if I don’t complete them by the time he returns. So I’m going to leave first.”

Xie Jun ran away right after saying that..
