Helian Yi’s heart suddenly beat irregularly. If… that man actually was his blood brother, what would happen?
If…
A burst of footsteps was heard. He quickly returned to his senses, rapidly stuffed the scroll and box back into the hidden compartment, then stood up, acting like nothing was wrong as he lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves. The one entering happened to be young Eunuch Wang Wu, who whispered, “Your Highness, Sir Lu of the Ministry of Revenue has come.”

holy shit it must be so fucked up to discover that the person you’ve been in love with for years could maybe be your half brother. i feel bad for both of them. tho i don’t think beiyuan is really the emperor’s son, i think the emperor, like helian yi, kept something to remember that person they could never have

But wasn’t it written that the Emperor being interested in Jing Qi’s mother was a well known fact? Like, in the first few chapters, weren’t officials wary about the topic? So why are they so surprised about a portrait now? Even if there is a portrait, it doesn’t mean Jing Qi should be his son? Mainly because which father would want his son to have no heirs? But maybe it is another twisted way to cut off the Jing family by Helian Pei? I don’t know, it just makes everything seem very distasteful to me.

My hatred for the crown prince and the imperial family increased.
For heaven’s sake, is there a shortage of bastard emperor’s women to the point of betraying his close friend?
If you didn’t want to take responsibility for your indiscretion, you had to kill your child so that he wouldn’t suffer all of this
Oh, my little Jing Qi, your luck is worse than Shi Lian (heaven official’s blessing)💔😢

Thank you so much for the update. I can feel the intense drama about to unfold. 🙂

My understanding of what’s going on with the portraits (someone please correct me if I’m wrong!) is that there’s a portrait of Jing Qi’s mother in the secret compartment, which Wang Wu found and saw. Later in the private room, Jing Qi has brought his own portrait of his mother from his manor that his (supposed) father (the Senior Prince) painted, and Wang Wu is confirming upon seeing it that the portraits are of the same person.

Am I making myself the bad guy here for saying I understand why Helian Yi would kill Jing Qi after he found out about this? Especially during their past lives. It’s still a jerk move though.

You can both understand someone’s actions and also want to kick them in the nuts for them. They’re not mutually exclusive opinions. :v

He doesn’t have the same portrait, there’s two.

I know this is a dumb question but where did the other one come from? One Wang Wu stuffed back into the secret compartment and the other one is given to Jing Qi..

It literally says the Senior Prince made it, meaning it’s been in his Estate this whole time.
