Chapter 518: That Could Be His Son

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As the emperor looked at Xie Yan, he started to feel sympathetic. “Okay, I’ll listen to you this time,” the emperor said. He then ordered the eunuch, “Let them go.”

“Yes, your majesty,” the eunuch answered and left the room.

“Yanyan, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Don’t force yourself.” “I know. Thank you very much, Father.”

“You can leave as well. Until Yanyan recovers, you and your family can stay at the Third Prince’s residence. If anyone happens to Yanyan, I will hold you responsible.”

“Yes, your majesty.”

Zhao Chuchu lowered her head and answered, then left Xie Yan’s room as well.

The emperor looked toward Xie Yan and asked, “Yanyan, are you suspecting anyone?”

“I’m not sure,” Xie Yan said. “Father, please send people and investigate this thoroughly. We have to find the culprit behind all of this. This time, it was me. Next time, it could be you, Father.”

“How dare they do this to my son?! Do they think I don’t exist? Yanyan, don’t worry. I will make sure that someone answers for this.”

“Father, I hope the tragic incident that happened to our ninth brother doesn’t happen again.” Xie Yan lowered his eyes. He sounded distraught.

The emperor went silent.

He had never even seen his ninth son when he went missing.

The emperor had never given up looking for him all these years, but he couldn’t find any clues.

After a long while, the emperor sighed and said, “Sigh, he might have passed away a long time ago.”

“Um,” Xie Yan answered but didn’t say anything else.

Perhaps mentioning his ninth son made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, he stood up and said, “I need to return to the palace now. I’ll come back to visit you again in a few days. Please rest well and recover. Your health is the most important thing.”

“I bid you farewell, Father.” Xie Yan struggled as he tried to stand up to greet his father.

The emperor pushed on Xie Yan’s shoulder and said, “There’s no need for all this politeness. Just rest and recover.”

“Goodbye.”

“Bye.”

The emperor walked out of Xie Yan’s room. He didn’t know that Xie Yan was staring at him from behind the whole time.

Meanwhile, Xie Heng and Xie Jun were escorted by the guards to the prince’s palace to meet Zhao Chuchu.

The eunuch was just about to order Xie Heng and Xie Jun to greet the emperor formally, but the emperor stopped him.

The emperor stared at Xie Jun.

Why does this kid look so much like Xie Yan?

But he looked much more healthy than Xie Yan. His complexion was better as well.

Xie Heng had already seen the emperor, but since the emperor just stood there and did not approach them, he pretended not to see him.

Xie Jun held Xie Heng’s hand tightly and said, “Bro, with Sis here, the Third Prince will be fine, right? He’s a good person. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him.”

“The Third Prince is a good person with good karma. So nothing will happen to him; don’t worry.” Xie Heng consoled Xie Jun and said, “When you see Sis later, you can ask her as well.”

“Yes, bro. When can we go home?”

“I’m not sure. We will only know when we see Sis. We may need to stay at the

Third Prince’s palace for quite a while.”

“Is it because Sis needs to treat the Third Prince’s injuries?”

“Maybe.”

“Oh, does that mean we get to see the Third Prince as well?” “I think we should be able to when the Third Prince gets better.” “That’s great. I hope that he will recover soon.”

Xie Jun wasn’t sure how to feel about this.

He now knows that Xie Yan is his real brother. Last time, it was easy for him to call the prince “Third Brother,” but now it was feeling a little awkward.

Because in Xie Jun’s heart, Xie Heng is his only real brother.

Now that his brother had suddenly become a different person, Xie Jun felt it difficult to accept the situation so quickly.

Xie Jun and Xie Heng walked past a short distance away from the emperor, and they were escorted over to see Zhao Chuchu.

The emperor’s gaze was fixated on Xie Jun the entire time.

“Emperor, that was Zhao Chuchu’s husband, Xie Heng, and his brother, Xie Jun,” the eunuch said to the emperor softly. “Xie Heng has already passed the provincial exams. I think he came to the Imperial City for the spring exams.”

“He passed the exams? How old is he?”

“Seventeen.”

The emperor was astonished.

This young man was probably the youngest provincial graduate in the history of the Wei Dynasty!

However, most of the emperor’s attention was still focused on Xie Jun.

But the emperor didn’t display any of his emotions. Instead, he set off to return to his palace.

Upon returning to his palace, the first thing he did was get his secret guards to investigate Xie Jun’s identity.

Xie Jun’s age would be about the same as his ninth son if he were still alive, and he looked just like Xie Yan when he was young. The emperor felt a strange urge in his heart. Perhaps that could be his ninth son.

Of course, Xie Jun didn’t know that the emperor had noticed him.

When he saw Zhao Chuchu, he immediately asked about Xie Yan’s condition.. “Sis, how is the Third Prince doing?”
