“Imperial City is a lot busier than Guangqing Province, but it’s also not as free as Guangqing Province. The more people there are, the more conflicts and fights there will be. When you come to Imperial City in the future, you will start to miss Guangqing Province,” the Third Prince said gently.

Xie Jun replied, “But I still want to go to Imperial City. I always feel like Imperial City is where I belong. I’m sure my brother is going to pass the exams. When that happens, I can go to Imperial City with him and sis. Third Brother, you will be in Imperial City as well when that happens, right? Can you take me to eat good food there?”

“Sure, when I’ve recovered fully, I’ll go to Imperial City and wait for you to come. There’s lots of good food in Imperial City, but I couldn’t taste them back then because of my condition. It will be nice. I can go try different food with you.”

“That’s a promise!” Xie Jun’s eyes curled into a crescent as he reached his pinky finger out. “Here, we’ll make a pinkie promise. Third Brother, you can’t go back on your words now.”

A big smile spread across the Third Prince’s eyes. His ninth brother was still as cute as he was when they were young. He hooked his pinky finger onto Xie Jun’s finger and said, “Pinkie promise.”

After confirming that Xie Jun was actually his brother, the Third Prince felt much more relaxed.

But he didn’t stay at the house for too long. About an hour later, he gave an excuse and left.

The Third Prince didn’t tell anyone about his visit, including Qiao Heting.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Qiao Heting, but he knew very well how his brother got lost back then.

As for why his brother ended up in Yuanjiang County, the Third Prince felt that perhaps the whole journey to the north was a decoy. It was a ploy to bait everyone to go north. That way, his brother would have a chance to live.

His father was alarmed by the power of his mothers maiden family, so he didn’t allow him to have another brother.

Sometimes. the Third Prince really hated his father.

Even the most vicious tiger didn’t eat its own child. Yet this man attempted to murder his own son.

The emperor poured his love onto the Third Prince. There were many instances when the Third Prince felt like he did it because of his guilty conscience. He was transferring everything that he owed to Xie Jun to the Third Prince instead.

The Third Prince would never forget the feeling when he carried his own brother in his arms.

That was his brother.

After returning to the lodging place, the guards only knew that he went to the Xie clan. They didn’t know what happened in the Xie clan at all.

Qiao Heting was quite worried. He asked, “Third Brother, why didn’t you tell us you were going out? What if…”

The Third Prince interrupted him and said, “Heting, I’m no longer that frail man who could be breathing his last breath at any moment. There’s no need to worry about me. I know my body. How’s the Imperial City situation?

The Great Prince seemed to have reached a consensus with the Sikou clan. He had been going to the Sikou clan very frequently recently.

“Has he given up yet?”

“Yes. He seems to be planning to re-marry the daughter of the Sikou clan.”

“Sikou Hua?” “No, Sikou Shu.” “Sikou Shu?”

“Yes. ”

The Third Prince thought about it.

“Third Brother, do you think the Great Prince and the Sikou clan will combine forces?

“The Sikou clan needs to use the Great Prince’s influence. This collaboration will probably work out for them.”

“Then, they would become an even greater threat to us, right?”

“We’re not a threat to the Great Prince, so they’re not going to do anything to us. As of now, my father has stated outright that he isn’t going to make me the crown prince That means that I won’t be their competitor, so they won’t care about me.”

“If you weren’t poisoned, how would they even have a chance?

“Heting, be careful of what you say.” The Third Prince glanced at Qiao Heting and said, “This is destiny. We have no choice.”

“But I feel like God is unfair,” Qiao Heting said as he frowned.

The Third Prince laughed and replied, “Unfair? No, Heting, God cannot be any fairer to us. Just wait if you don’t believe me.”

Qiao Heting wanted to rebut the Third Prince, but he swallowed the words before speaking them.

They hadn’t even found their ninth brother yet. What was fair about that?

The Third Prince and his ninth brother were sons of the queen. By right, one of them should be the crown prince.

Yet one might now have many years to live while the other was missing. What was fair about that?

Qiao Heting knew that the Third Prince was obsessed with finding his ninth brother, so he didn’t dare to say it to him. He thought it might trigger his condition.

Zhao Chuc.hu said that although the poison in his body had been neutralized, his organs had been attacked and corroded by the toxins for far too long. His condition might still flare up in the future. If it did, there would be no way to save him. In order to live longer, his mood and emotions were very important. He had to stay calm and not let his emotions fluctuate. “Heting, do you feel like what I said was illogical?”

“Third Brother, I…”

“I know what you’re worried about, and I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry, Heting. I cherish my life more than anyone else right now.”

The longer he lived, the longer he could protect his ninth brother. He wanted to give everything that he could to his ninth brother..
