Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Must You Marry the One Who Saved You from Drowning? (51)

Is this the terrifying power of someone with enormous destiny? The more so, the more he wanted to seize the other’s fortune.

[Host, don’t panic, I have a method.] The system’s voice was filled with temptation, [Since we can’t tackle the person with great fortune, why not provoke two such people and let them fight each other to the death.]

The voice was excited: [How to provoke them?]

[Control Yun Tong and send him to Shen Hui, let him know that he has died, Shen Xuan will become the Emperor, and will completely overthrow Lan Country. Do you think Shen Hui, knowing this, can sit still? Once the two fortune-bearers start fighting, it’s not something that can be settled quickly. As long as they start a conflict and wear each other’s fortune down, we can reap the benefits.]

[Alright, let’s do as you say and make them fight.]

Ah Chen’s eyes flashed with a cold smile. It was a good idea, but their calculations were wrong.

[Host, the person behind it has appeared!] 997 was overjoyed, [And there’s another system, Host, let me consume it!]

Ah Chen’s gaze swept over the two young boys beside Prince Shen Xi. Earlier, she heard them call Shen Xi “Father King”, indicating they were Shen Xi’s sons.

The earlier voice came from the slightly smaller boy.

[Alright, when the time comes, you can swallow it.] She said.

At the same time, Shen Xuan’s system voice sounded: [Host, you just need to remember that when brothers work together with one heart, their strength is unparalleled. No matter what happens, you two brothers must support each other, don’t be suspicious, and no one can harm you.]

Shen Xuan: [Do you even need to say that? My brother and I have been through both tough and good times together, what is there to be suspicious of? It’s not like I want to be Emperor, even if I did, my brother would just smile and say, ’If you really want to, then slowly plan it out.’]

He truly had this confidence because Shen Hui was his brother.

Shen Hui rode back to the palace on a fierce tiger, surrounded by onlookers all the way. The citizens on both sides couldn’t help but cheer; they had already heard about the Guangmao Mountain event.

Because of Shen Hui’s instructions, Ah Chen and Shen Xuan followed into the palace. Kang Chongyi and others knew that the Emperor hadn’t suffered from hunger or cold with the two present and were very grateful to them.

Even Shen Xi said, “Thank you both, for not letting His Majesty suffer from hunger or cold.”

He had been very worried before.

Ah Chen looked at the other’s kind and sincere face and felt emotional; if he knew his son was plotting against his most respected brother, how would he feel?

Ah Chen and Shen Xuan first stayed in the side hall waiting, it was two hours before Shen Hui finished dealing with matters.

They were not treated poorly; during this time, everything in the palace that could be tasted was sampled by them.

Shen Hui hurried in, feeling particularly excited.

The two brothers finally met, with countless words to say, Ah Chen went outside, leaving the space to them.

Faintly, she heard Shen Xuan crying, Shen Hui patiently comforting.

Her hearing was simply too good.

Kang Chongyi saw Ah Chen staring at some flowers and approached, saying, “These flowers are cultivated in a greenhouse, that’s why they bloom in this season.”

Ah Chen nodded and asked, “Who are the two handsome young men beside Prince Shen Xi?”

Kang Chongyi paused and, remembering the Emperor’s instructions, replied, “They are Prince Shen Xi’s eldest son Shen Xiao and second son Shen Xiang.”

“Manager Kang, could you tell me about them?”

Kang Chongyi thought Ah Chen might be thinking of arranging a marriage for someone in her family, considering their ages were similar. Though he thought it might not happen, due to the Emperor’s instructions and the importance he placed on them, there was uncertainty.

The Emperor had previously instructed to satisfy these two’s requests.

She asked about some surface matters, which didn’t cause any embarrassment.

From Kang Chongyi’s mouth, Ah Chen learned about Prince Shen Xi’s two sons. The eldest son Shen Xiao was pure and honest, with a talent for martial arts.

The second son Shen Xiang was more reckless, his reputation on par with Shen Xuan’s, frequently being chased by Shen Xi. Those who knew thought Prince Shen Xi’s second son was ruined.

Who would have thought Shen Xiang was doing big things behind the scenes? Even now at thirteen or fourteen, could it be he started calculating against Shen Hui from birth?

That would be quite something.

Shen Hui, now in his thirties, only a year older than Shen Xi, and considering how people in ancient times married early, it was not surprising Shen Xi had two teenage sons.

After catching up, Shen Xuan quickly ran out to find Ah Chen, his eyes lighting up when he saw her, pulling her along: “Chenchen, come on, His Majesty wants to see you.”

He came to his senses, realizing that Kang Chongyi was also there.

Even if this person was trustworthy, it was best not to let others know about his and his brother’s past lives.

Shen Hui already knew that Ah Chen was also someone who had crossed dimensions. With the palace door closed, watching Ah Chen and Shen Xuan’s demeanor, it was as if he had returned to that previous world.

At this moment, he felt he was not an Emperor, but just Shen Xuan’s big brother.

“Sister-in-law, thank you for protecting my little brother.” Shen Hui sincerely thanked.

The little brother told him that if not for encountering his sister-in-law, they might never have met, and destiny would have turned elsewhere. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, he could feel the little brother’s sadness.

Ah Chen said, “What is big brother talking about, we are husband and wife, of course I will protect him.”

Shen Xuan smiled, showing his gleaming white teeth, exactly!

He would also cherish Chenchen.

Shen Hui chuckled.

Shen Xuan then said, “I’m already married, big brother should also consider a lifelong partner. The person behind should not be able to harm you.”

“No rush in these matters.” Shen Hui truly didn’t mind these things; urged by ministers before, he thought of maybe marrying a wife. But later some accidents occurred, and he didn’t care much about these, focused on making some changes. Anyway, personally, having his own bloodline to succeed wasn’t important; selecting an excellent one from the Imperial Family was completely fine.

Shen Xuan didn’t press further and instead said, “About my stuff, big brother you can first arrange them, when you need I’ll give them to you.”

Only in his brother’s hands could they be of the greatest use.

“Also this.” Shen Xuan suddenly remembered his brother’s poisoning incident and hurriedly took out an antidote to hand to Shen Hui.

Shen Hui was momentarily shocked to learn he was poisoned.

He knew that the little brother had bound to a system meant to help them.

Despite the years separated, they hadn’t grown distant; the little brother’s trust moved him while worrying him. How could he be so naive and sweet? If as a brother he turned bad, how would the other escape?

“You also need to be cautious,” Shen Hui said.

Shen Xuan: “Big brother, you don’t know how amazing my Chenchen is! Besides, is it wrong to trust one’s own brother?”

“Big brother, you have a little brother to help work, shouldn’t I be allowed to do nothing?”

Shen Hui laughed, recalling how the little brother was so hard-pressed in the previous life, how could he bear to let him toil.

In this life, it’s enough for the little brother to be happy, troublesome matters should be left to the fifth brother.

Holding the antidote bottle Shen Hui pondered, “I’ll use this antidote later. I’ll use this item to confer you a title of nobility; then you can walk freely in Lan Country.”

Saving an Emperor’s life, plus offering something useful, was enough for a noble title.

He glanced at Ah Chen feeling somewhat regretful, but realized he shouldn’t think of commanding the sister-in-law anymore, let them enjoy themselves.

“The person behind is Shen Xiang.” At this moment, Ah Chen spoke.

Shen Xuan had already gained his opportunity, and she thought there was no need to go around in circles now.
