This is Xie Jian's handwriting.
"What do you mean?" Chen Heng put the paper away and went to bed without thinking too much.
When Xie Jian came back, Chen Heng was already fast asleep. He did not light the lamp, but sat quietly beside the bed and looked at Chen Heng for a while before he lowered his gaze to the book on the table.
The Crown Prince will not be back for half a year after he leads the expedition, and it may even take a year.
This is the time for him to take action, and he can also use the Si family's network of relationships to gain a firm foothold in the court.
The Master said, "An official should consider the people and the whole world, be humble and do his best to live up to his conscience."
If he doesn't avenge his father, how can he live up to my conscience?
He couldn't be as broad-minded as the Master.
But if he only thinks about himself, now that the situation is serious and the court officials are no longer united, once the prince leaves, the people will be the ones who suffer in the end.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
Xie Jian sat like this for a long, long time.
Suddenly, a warm body hugged him: "Ajian."
Chen Heng was now accustomed to having someone around her. She casually hugged him, and when she felt nothing, she woke up. Seeing Xie Jian sitting on the bed with his back straight, looking so lonely, she felt a little distressed.
She had been looking at him for a long time. If she didn't call him, he would probably have to sit there all night.
"Did I wake you?"
"You didn't even make a noise." Shen Heng sat beside him and looked at him gently: "Do you miss the prince?"
Xie Jian hummed lightly.
The only things that could make Xie Jian worried were his father's injustice and the worries of his family. Shen Heng thought about the prince's personal expedition and the words on the paper, and she could guess what Xie Jian was thinking.
"Are you going to attack the prince?"
"Will you, like Master, advise me to put the overall situation first?"
"Yes." Shen Heng nodded.
"What if I still insist on revenge?"
"Then let's do it."
Xie Jian was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"I will do my best to stop you. If I can't stop you, then there's nothing I can do." Shen Heng said gently. She understood his pain and hatred. Killing someone means paying with one's life. It's only natural, but now is an extraordinary time. "Ajian, if you really want to do this, let's get a divorce first."
Xie Jian frowned.
"Don't be angry. Just do whatever you want and I can live my life peacefully." Chen Heng said frankly and sincerely. This idea has been in her mind for many years.
"Is this your way of stopping me?" Xie Jian suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.
"Of course not."
"You are my wife, shouldn't you be with me?"
"You still have to have hope to make progress. You have your own path to pursue, and I have the life I want to live. Revenge should be taken, but if you choose to do it now, the world will be in chaos."
"After the divorce, if you live alone, the world won't be in chaos?"
"That's different. Everyone has things they want to do and things they don't want to face. I'd rather face chaos than have my share of responsibility for it."
