Chapter 369 - 369 Past369 Past
In a mother’s body, usually one twin would be thin and the other would be strong.
Coincidentally, Lian Xin was the stronger of the two children. Almost all the nutrition in the mother’s body was given to Lian Xin.
Lian Xin was a very normal child, and Willow was born very thin and weak. As soon as he was born, his breathing was as weak as a cat’s.
Lian Xin’s mother chose to bring Willow, this thin child, out of the palace. She instructed a few trusted guards to bring Willow out of the palace and kill him.

When the guards saw that the child was so young and thin, they couldn’t bear to do it.
So they decided to put the child in a wooden basin. Whether he lived or died was up to the heavens.
The guard returned with bloodstained clothes to report. Therefore, Lian Xin’s mother had always thought that Willow was dead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Lian Xin was thirteen years old, someone who claimed to be from the Demon Palace wanted to see her.
When Lian Xin’s mother saw Willow, she immediately recognized him as the child from back then!
Willow and Lian Xin looked almost identical. Perhaps it was because of his nutritional deficiency, but Willow’s figure was very thin.
Lian Xin’s mother’s first reaction was not to feel sorry for the child, but to be filled with resentment. Resentment that the twins had brought her bad luck.
In her opinion, Willow should not have been born, so Lian Xin’s mother sent an assassin to kill him that day.
Willow fled to the Black City Kingdom and focused on learning from his master. In the end, he also became the palace master of the Demon Palace.
“Why does this sound a little dramatic?” Ning Yue frowned.
Although this explained why Willow wanted to kill Lian Xin, there were still some questions that could not be explained.
Ning Yue told him about Willow giving them the antidote. In the end, she voiced her doubts. “I still think there’s a problem. How did he know that we were poisoned? It’s such a coincidence that he still has the antidote in his hand. It really puzzled me.”
Yuan Hui said nothing. He thought for a long time before saying, “I suspect that there’s a traitor beside my father.”
He suspected that the traitor of Russia had colluded with the Demon Palace back then.
If not for that, he would not have been able to explain why he and his sister had been poisoned, nor would he have been able to explain why Willow had the antidote.
Ning Yue was stunned. “Is there anyone you suspect?”
Yuan Hui shook his head. “Not yet. It’s been decades. It’s very troublesome to investigate what happened back then. I might have to return to Russia.”
Although he could let the guards investigate, there were some places in Russia that the guards could not enter.
“By the way, have you discussed what I told you previously with Jiang Ying?” Yuan Hui suddenly asked Ning Yue.
Before Ning Yue could react, Jiang Ying asked, “What is it?”
“Alright, take your time discussing. I’ll go look for my guards.” With that, Yuan Hui left.
Ning Yue looked at his back speechlessly. Originally, she did not want to consider this matter. Xiaobao was still so young. Could he be the emperor?
However, Yuan Hui had put the matter on the table. It was too late for her to refuse. “It’s like this. Uncle wants Xiaobao to be his heir.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Ying’s eyes widened as he looked at Ning Yue in disbelief. “Does the heir mean what I think?”
“Yes, that’s right. He’s going to be the crown prince of Russia,” Ning Yue said.
She told him Yuan Hui’s reason, but Jiang Ying fell silent.
“If possible, I hope that Xiaobao can live according to his wishes and not be forced to do anything by us,” Jiang Ying said.
All parents wished for their children to grow up healthy and happy.
As for what they liked and did not like to do in the future, it should be up to the children to decide.
“I thought so too. Besides, Xiaobao is still young. What does he know?” Ning Yue smiled bitterly.
Although Xiaobao was more mature than children of his age and learned faster than ordinary children, his aptitude and talent were very good.
Xiaobao was definitely qualified to be the heir to the throne.
However, Ning Yue could not bear to part with him. “There’s no hurry. I’ll ask Xiaobao when he’s older.”
Jiang Ying nodded. “If possible, I hope Xiaobao can decide his future path himself.”
