Chapter 1499 - What’s the Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For Majesty Kang? Everything that he had done was for Majesty Kang?

Yun Bixue was completely stunned by Majesty Huang’s words. No way. Could the two brothers be in cahoots? One of them was righteous, while the other was sneaky in his way. Were they actually working together?

Wasn’t she digging her own grave?

No wonder he had asked her about killing Majesty Kang.

Yun Bixue’s heart raced, and she thought back about what she had said. If she had told him that she had no qualms about killing Majesty Kang, she would surely be dead.

Fortunately, she hadn’t said so.

The two brothers were indeed wicked. With the two of them working together, who could defeat them?

Yun Bixue’s eyes darted around as she tried to think of a solution. If she had no choice, she would try to worm her way out using her close relationship with Hao’er.

Xiajun Yanli raised his head and noticed the look on Yun Bixue’s face. He laughed, “Are you frightened?”

“Erm, no. Not at all. I only admire you, Your Majesty.”

Xiajun Yanli shook his head and answered, “You sound very reluctant to say those words.”

As Yun Bixue tried to think of ways to excuse herself, Xiajun Yanli waved his hand and said, “Enough. You’re pregnant, so I won’t scare you. I said that I did everything for my brother, but he doesn’t have a clue. If I hadn’t done that and hid the truth from him back then, he wouldn’t have been able to survive, judging from how devoted he is. That way, he can divert his hatred towards me and focus solely on his power to continue living well.”

Yun Bixue was stunned. There were some things that she couldn’t comprehend.

Seeing the confused look on Yun Bixue’s face, Xiajun Yanting continued quietly, “You might not understand everything, but my brother, Yanting, is not a cruel person. We lost our mother when we were both still in the imperial family. I had been taking care of him all along, and he respected me. We got along extremely well as brothers. I didn’t long for status and wanted him to have my position. But because of me, he didn’t want to take over. He treated me with respect and honor. As long as I was alive, he would assist me in my position.”

As Yun Bixue listened, she gasped quietly. She had no clue that there was such a back story. No one would have expected that the two brothers almost became enemies because of a woman!

No, they’re not enemies. They were no different from strangers!

Xiajun Yanli continued, “I’m not suited for that position. Yanting is more qualified. There are merely some misunderstandings between the two of us. It has been more than six years. If he hasn’t healed from that relationship, I can’t tell him the truth!”

“What’s the truth? Why can’t you tell him?”

“If I tell him, he’ll be heartbroken. Do you think I should still let him know?”

Yun Bixue’s face changed immediately, as though she suddenly realized the gravity of the matter. “Did that woman really die?”

Xiajun Yanli shook his head. “I can only tell you this much. Go back!”

Yun Bixue felt a surge of energy as she said, “Majesty, you shared deep bonds with your brother and cannot afford to see him stray further away from you. You ought to direct him onto the correct path! Look at the state the capital is in now. Can it be compared to how it was six years ago? Look at Majesty Kang now. He’s not the same person he used to be six years ago too. Majesty, you’re not helping him. You have to reconsider!”

“Madam, enough. Please leave!”

Yun Bixue clenched her jaw and continued, “Majesty, I have something else to say. For Hao’er and for the entire country, you have to think carefully.”
