Chapter 2972: Side story: An entire country cant be exchanged for one person

You love everyone, Concubine Rou, the empress dowager, the little prince, him, but you cant love me. Feng Yu

It snowed heavily that day.

I sat in the Golden Imperial Hall, watching as my dynasty disappeared bit by bit.

If someone asked me: Do you regret it?

I would answer: I dont regret it.

No one understood me. If I could go back in time, I would hope that I didnt meet her.

What I regretted wasnt the decision, but meeting her.

I had been the crown prince since I was young. Although the road to the throne wasnt smooth, no one could stop me.

So I had an arrogant personality and could see through peoples hearts. I didnt have many friends, my only friend when I was young was probably Song Nan Mo.

I thought that he and I would be friends for life.

But I never thought that we would lose each other because of a single girl.

In the dead of night, I would ask myself if I really loved that person.

I am the emperor, I can get any beautiful woman in the world, why was I so obsessed with her?

I could give her to Song Nan Mo to make him more loyal to me and I could give their love a beautiful ending.

ButI couldnt do it

I never thought that I would like a person this much. It was as if I wanted her even if I lost my heart.

Disregarding our relations.h.i.+p as ruler and minister, disregarding everything.

No one knew what I was thinking. Thought that that I was being selfish and self serving, but no one knew that I really liked that person.

PerhapsEven more than Song Nan Mo.

To take a gamble, I made a bold decision.

She was a smart person, she would definitely know what choice to make.

The High Race Country or my concubine, I wanted her to choose one. I didnt think she would go to such a far off place.

I gambled that she wouldnt go. I didnt even ask her to beg me, as long as she told me she didnt want to go, I wouldnt let her go.

I didnt sleep that night. It was the first time I didnt sleep since I had taken the throne.

But she never came to beg me. She wasnt willing to beg me even when putting on that bright red wedding dress.

Why? Why?

She once sacrificed her life to save me. When those countless black clothed experts surrounded me, she firmly stood in front of me.

I thought thateven if she didnt love meshe wouldnt hate me

But she really seemed to hate me

But we did have one thing in common, we were both biased.

It was not wondershe was my sister, my half related sister from the same father.

No one would understand. Even if I couldnt marry her, as long as she was by my side and I could always be with her.

Even if I knew that she was my sister, I didnt care how heartbroken I was and would protect her.

But shestill left.

Marrying into the far off High Race Country, so stubborn that she didnt look back once.

That year that she left, I didnt sleep well. Scenes of our first encounter would appear in front of my eyes in the middle of the night, like nightmares that wouldnt go away.

I had been tortured enough!

So when Talus arrow pierced my heart, I didnt feel any pain and instead felt relieved.

Finally, there was no need to agonize.

Who said that emperors were ruthless? I loved so much that I couldnt control myself anymore.

Land, honour, wealth, status

I could give it all away, just her alone was enough.

But I didnt seemlucky enough

Not lucky

Enough
