How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 254 Father is willing, I am the continuation of his legacy

Xie Chengze's whole body trembled violently, and he looked at Xie Jinyu with horror.

"why?"

"why?"

Xie Jinyu repeated the question aloud, then smiled softly, unable to hide the madness in her tone, "Because I hate him."

I hate him for turning a blind eye to Cao Qingran's abuse, I hate him for being so cruel and inflicting the same thing on his brother even though he himself was treated the same way when he was a child, I hate him for pushing his second brother into the arms of someone else even though he clearly hoped he had the ability to protect him.

He was anxious and worried, because the soul in his second brother's body might not be his second brother. That's why he tolerated Emperor Jian to continue to sit in the high position and tolerated that he could not get all the attention from his second brother.

But this life is different.

When his second brother came back, he couldn't wait to sit in that position and lock his second brother by his side forever so that he would never leave him again.

He couldn't bear to see his father using the imperial power to marry concubines for his second brother.

He couldn't bear to see his father using the imperial power to send his second brother away again and again, and leaving Xie Zimiao and Shen Yuan with his second brother.

He couldn't bear to see his father using the imperial power to despicably occupy his second brother and throw all the government affairs to himself. He clearly deliberately indulged his second brother in his childhood to redeem himself, but now he is afraid that his emotions will hurt his second brother, so he tries to let others get his second brother and protect him.

He deserves to die.

He owed it to him.

Xie Jinyu had never experienced fatherly love. Emperor Jian gave all his fatherly love to his second brother. To him, he was just a teacher who assigned him court tasks. He had no father-son relationship with Emperor Jian.

He is naturally ruthless.

"Snapped--!"

A heavy slap sounded on his left cheek. Xie Chengze's eyes turned red as he shouted angrily, "Xie Jinyu! Are you crazy? How could you do this?!"

Xie Jinyu laughed, first intermittently like testing a string, then he laughed heartily toward the sky. He grabbed the young man's wrist tightly, his eyes crazy and sick, "Yes, I've been crazy for a long time."

But was he wrong?

No one loved him, not his father, not his mother, and even his second brother, the only one who loved him, was dead.

Even the second brother standing in front of him has changed. He no longer loves and pampers him unconditionally as he did when they were young.

But he didn't blame him, because he himself had changed, become ugly and no longer worthy of his second brother's love.

So his requests were very small, as long as his second brother came back, as long as he could always stay with him.

He could never bear to lose him again.

"Brother, you don't have to blame me." He slowly stood up, and with great force, he pulled Xie Chengze directly onto the bed, raised his hand and pressed down on his neck, preventing him from getting up. "Father is willing."

"How could a martial artist not notice the spread of the poison? He could have stopped drinking the tea I handed him after noticing it, but he didn't."

"He knew that he felt guilty towards me, and that he would not live long due to his lung disease and headache, so he tried to atone for his sins in this way, hoping that I would be able to protect you in the future."

Xie Jinyu looked into Xie Chengze's eyes without any guilt, "You are so angry, isn't it because your father treats you well? He has taken all the treasures and banquets in the world for you, and let you wield power in the court. I can do the same, and I can even do better than him."

"I am the continuation of what he left for you!"

"So, second brother, you don't have to hate me."

Xie Chengze's eyes overflowed with tears, and he roared, "Father is willing, but I am not willing!"

Since his father was willing to commit suicide by taking poison, he would naturally be willing to abdicate and let others take over. The throne still belonged to Xie Jinyu, so he could do whatever he wanted. But why did he have to poison?

Xie Jinyu lowered her eyes and stared at his eyes filled with anger, "It has already happened."

Nineteen-year-old Xie Jinyu was too young and hot-tempered. He had a lot of resentment in his heart and had no place to vent it, so he caused a disaster.

If he could have come earlier, he would never have chosen such a childish method. Now he could only make the best of a bad situation and try to make his second brother hate him less.

Hate is no different from loss.

"What about Shen Yuan?" Xie Chengze looked at him with sorrowful eyes. "Second brother has been with you for five years, but Shen Yuan has been with you for a full ten years, giving you advice and helping you. How can you bear to kill him?!"

"He is doing this for the common people. What does it have to do with me?"

Xie Jinyu said sarcastically, "If anyone in Yufu Palace is willing to support Xie Zimiao or Xie Shoujun, do you really think Shen Yuan will still choose me?"

Shen Yuan's mind is full of righteousness. He only has the common people in his heart, and can only accommodate a peaceful and prosperous era.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation and killed his second brother, the only person who kept him alive.

Xie Jinyu only felt that Shen Yuan's death was too easy.

Xie Chengze had nothing to say. He turned away and no longer looked at Xie Jinyu. He didn't understand why things had developed to this point.

Where did it go wrong?

Did he travel through time from him, or from an earlier time?

Seeing Xie Chengze didn't say anything, Xie Jinyu lowered his eyes slightly. He reached out and gently wiped the tears from Xie Chengze's face, but the other party turned his head away.

He couldn't help but soften his tone, "Second brother, don't hate me..."

"You loved me the most when we were little, didn't you?" He understood the young man's weakness the best. He unbuttoned his robe to reveal the crisscrossing whip scars on his body and said weakly, "No one loves me, only you, my second brother... You are the only one left for me..."

"Don't let me become a poor little thing that no one loves."

Xie Chengze opened his mouth, then bit his lips and pursed them tightly.

What could he say?

You said that you were not his second brother? It wasn't you who took care of him when he was a child?

Perhaps he thought his life was too long, or that his free wings were getting in the way, and he wanted to hand the scissors to the other person with his own hands.

"Get out of the way." He said as indifferently as possible, "You're crushing me to death."

Xie Jinyu paused slightly, as if he was wondering whether the young man would run away immediately after he stood up. Finally, he held Xie Chengze's wrist tightly and pulled him up.

Xie Chengze tried to pull his hand away, but failed.

I felt a little regretful for a moment. I shouldn't have been so angry and ran over to verify whether Xie Jinyu was also reborn.

But how did he come back to life?

Sounds like human manipulation.

What does he know? Does he also know how to return to the present day?

in case……

Xie Chengze's mind was full of thoughts, and he had no idea that Xie Jinyu was observing him every moment, with a pair of deep, dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through him.

By the time Xie Chengze realized whether Xie Jinyu was too quiet, the gentle young man had already gotten rid of all his temper and anger, and had completely become the 19-year-old Xie Jinyu, leaning her head on his shoulder in a dependent manner, "Second brother..."

"From now on, stay by my side forever, okay?"

The submissive look was so well-behaved that Xie Chengze couldn't help but quietly test the edge of death, "Jin Yu, second brother is a human being and has the right to freedom."

The docile and well-behaved little kitten instantly opened its palms and revealed its sharp claws. Its body swelled up into a huge tiger body. Its originally small cat teeth turned into sharp animal fangs that could easily bite through the throat of its prey. It panted heavily and its tone was full of threats.

"Then I can only feel sorry for my second brother."
