Chapter 699: Taking Away His Life Force
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although Xia Hongming was already the crown prince, he was not the emperor yet. If they competed, he would definitely be the greatest threat to Xia Hongming. Logically speaking, Xia Hongming should want him to die the most.
However, the way Xia Hongming looked at him didn’t contain any killing intent.
Seeing that Xia Hongyuan was silent, Xia Hongming raised his eyebrows. “Why? Are you afraid of me?”𝑶𝗏𝗅𝓷xt.𝑐𝔬𝐌
Xia Hongyuan took a deep breath. “What exactly do you want to do? If you’re here to mock me, you’ve already done it. You can leave.”
If he swapped places with Xia Hongming today, he would definitely be here to mock him. Therefore, the fact that Xia Hongming did not have such an intention made him very puzzled and uncomfortable.
Xia Hongming couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush with Xia Hongyuan. He said coldly, “The fake empress is already dead, but the real empress is still alive. Don’t you want to find your mother? As long as your mother comes back and can prove your identity, you can leave the disciplinary center.”
As long as he could prove to the world that he was still the real First Prince, he might be able to take back the position of Crown Prince.
Xia Hongyuan looked at Xia Hongming. He did not believe that Xia Hongming hadn’t thought of this. He asked in confusion, “Why?”
It was not easy for him to become the Crown Prince. How could he tolerate a threat?
Xia Hongming said coldly, “I’ve never taken you seriously. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Xia Hongyuan was so angry that his face turned red.
Xia Hongming looked away. “If you want to die here, be my guest.”
Xia Hongming couldn’t be bothered to explain. Xia Hongyuan was paranoid. The more he explained, the less convincing it would be. He just had to provoke him.
Xia Hongyuan’s nostrils flared. He seemed to be very angry, and his paranoia was gone. He did not care what Xia Hongming’s motive was, but he knew that dying here was too stupid.
Xia Hongyuan took a few deep breaths before calming down and looking at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, you must be here for this too, right? Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Xia Hongyuan was sick. He had been in the disciplinary center for almost two months and had lost a lot of weight. After being angered by Xia Hongming, his face was pale.
It took him a lot of effort to just breathe, and his chest was heaving with every breath.
Liu Sanniang said slowly, “I want to take a trace of your life force and return it to your mother.”
Afraid that Xia Hongyuan would think they were trying to harm him, Xia Hongming added, “We do this to find your mother.”
Liu Sanniang wanted to find the real empress, but she didn’t intend to leave the capital to look for her because many things in the capital needed her to do.
If the real empress was still alive, would she not want to come back?
The crisis had been resolved. Why wasn’t she back yet?
It was impossible to find a person who was deliberately avoiding to be found, so Liu Sanniang did not want to waste her time to look for her. Instead, she wanted the empress to come back herself.
Xia Hongyuan looked at Liu Sanniang deeply. He felt that his understanding of Liu Sanniang in the past was completely wrong. Even if he lived to a hundred years old, it was impossible for him to really understand Liu Sanniang.
Xia Hongyuan said in a low voice, “Miss Liu, if she doesn’t come back, what will you do?”
Liu Sanniang said, “She is not the only phoenix.”
Xia Hongyuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He said coldly, “Miss Liu, do it.”
He didn’t have the right to make a choice at all. Instead of saying that Liu Sanniang came to ask him for help, it was more like she was giving him a chance to live.
This was very humiliating for Xia Hongyuan, but he had to agree because only after leaving this disciplinary center could he go against Xia Hongming again!
Liu Sanniang walked to the bed and placed her hand above Xia Hongyuan’s head.
Soon, a small stream of white smoke was drawn out from above Xia Hongyuan’s head. The white smoke condensed into a bead the size of a grain in Liu Sanniang’s palm.
Xia Hongyuan opened his eyes and looked at the white bead floating between Liu Sanniang’s fingers. He watched as Liu Sanniang flicked it gently and the bead disappeared..
