My Son is a Transmigrated Prince

91-95

Chapter 91 - Sorry, after losing you for so long, I seem to have been a bit confused.

The three worldviews of ancient era people were completely different from those of modern people. Especially Rong Heng, who was an emperor in ancient times. With the power to hold everyone's lives in his grasp, the Great Ye dynasty had no such thing as 'the Son of Heaven is punished for his crimes as one would punish the common people.' Although most of the time Rong Heng showed a gentle side, Song Yuan knew: the person who had once lain by her pillow did not care for other people's lives and even disregarded them.

But this wasn't the ancient era or the Great Ye dynasty! She knew that Rong Heng didn't like having his weaknesses falling into the hands of others. He wasn't the real Xie Heng, and every day there was the possibility of the truth coming to light. He wouldn't allow himself to be put in danger, so with his personality and past methods, he would definitely turn from passive to active. If all the people in the Xie family died, then he could rest easy.

Drums pounded in Song Yuan's heart, but her expression remained extremely stern. "The people of the Xie family did nothing wrong, and you have no authority here. If you're really worried that you'll be exposed one day, that's okay. Why don't you take the initiative to confess? You calculate how much of the Xie family's money you spent. I'll lend that money to you first, and you'll pay them back. I don't think they'll dare to do anything to you. Rong Heng, don't do anything irreversible. Using Xie Heng's identity and still wanting to harm his family, that's simply..."

Cruel and dishonorable!

Of course, she didn't dare to say these words. Her heart burned with anxiety. She only hoped that Rong Heng would quickly get rid of any thoughts he shouldn't have!

Rong Heng was startled. At first, he didn't understand her meaning, but when he gathered his thoughts, he was amused.

He seldom smiled. Ever since he was a young prince, he did not like to smile and always had no expression. When grown, he occasionally smiled as a facade. After counting carefully, the few times in his life that he truly smiled from the heart all seemed to be because of her.

"What are you thinking about every day." Rong Heng was both cheerful and helpless. "Am I that kind of person in your heart?"

Seeing him still smiling, Song Yuan was even more alarmed in her heart.

"It's true I don't like this passive position very much, but the cost of murder or assassination [4] is too high. Currently, it's clear that the losses outweigh the benefits. I won't do something that doesn't benefit me much." Rong Heng looked at her, the smile in his eyes and his expression still present.

Song Yuan fell silent. It looks like he might have really considered it...

"Then why'd you say that? Don't do those kinds of things, and don't have those kinds of thoughts. You have to..." be kind.

Before she finished speaking, Song Yuan felt she was being too ridiculous. Advising an emperor to be kind was simply too stupid.

"I shouldn't say this to you. You can't hide secrets, and you can't keep secrets. But if I don't tell you clearly today, with your personality, you might be so scared you can't sleep at night."

The smile on Rong Heng's face slightly receded. "Right now there are only three people in the Xie family who can make decisions. Elder Xie is in poor health, and each day lived is a day closer to death. He's very old, and it looks like he won't last longer than these next two years. Xie Yanjun–mn, that's Xie Heng's dad–it's a bit complicated. In fact, if it weren't for his indulgence, his illegitimate child raised outside wouldn't have had such huge ambitions. Mrs. Xie knows that I'm not her son, but the real Xie Heng was already dead, and she was unreconciled, and of course, she also wanted revenge. She played some tricks on the paternity test, causing everyone to mistakenly think that I was Xie Heng. For Mrs. Xie, the illegitimate son, his mother, and Xie Yanjun are all her enemies. I think that with her means, she won't let them go, and the last person she will retaliate against is Xie Yanjun. I'm guessing Xie Yanjun won't live to be past fifty-eight years old."
