Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1549 Qi Xi Kingdom’s Side

Qi Xue looked at Emperor Qi Kan Tian and sighed softly. She could never understand this junior brother of hers. He was never suitable to be an Emperor but because he was from the directly lineage and had promised his older brother, he took this seat.

But even if he took this seat, he had no interest in doing everything for the sake of Qi Xi Kingdom.

He hated wars.

Hated it so much because that damned war had caused him to lose the only person who genuinely cared for him, his older brother.

Even if other people’s relationship in the Imperial Family was strained, his and his older brother were close to each other. The two of them were born from the same mother and often played together when they were young.

Growing up by each other, they had promised that when one become the Emperor, the other one will support him in the court.

That way, there was no need for them to be jealous of each other.

But unfortunately, fate worked in a different way.

There was no way the two brothers could work together for the sake of Qi Xi Kingdom as they lost disastrously. In the end, he had no other choice but to be the one to watch his older brother’s death and present the head to the other kingdoms back then.

He hated them all.

He used to want revenge.

He used to want to wage war to take back what they had lost.

But in the end, he gave up. Because he knew that Qi Xi Kingdom would only lose everything if they were to wage another war.

lightsΝοvel.cοm This understanding made him helpless and in the end, he simply tried his best to increase the livelihood for the people who lived under him. Because he’s the Emperor, the leader who was responsible for their lives.

He didn’t want to sacrifice these people just because of his hatred.

Thus, in this game of war, he chose to be the bystander and watched as the other kingdoms were destroyed one by one.

Even if he did nothing, he felt pleasure when he watched the two kingdoms, Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom were destroyed.

Back then, the most aggressive one was Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Now, it paid the price for its arrogance and ended up being the second one to fall.

If Emperor Qi Kan Tian could stand in front of Emperor Zhang Hou Tian, he would curse and spat out, “You deserve it!”

But since he couldn’t, he decided to stay here in this safe palace and enjoyed a leisure life.

“Junior Brother Tian,” Qi Xue called out, looking at her junior brother without being able to understand him.

His hatred, his unwillingness, his rage, she had seen it all.

When Qi Xi Kingdom lost and the previous Emperor was killed, she was present in Qi Xi Kingdom and watched everything. Crying to the point that there were no tears left, feeling anguish and desperation, but there was nothing she could do.

The strong prevailed and the weak died.

This was the harsh truth of this world.

No matter what kind of form it was, those who were not strong enough would only end up being slaughtered.

It was miserable.

Qi Xue had watched it all and noticed how this brat in front of her slowly transformed from a childish brat to a mature adult.

From a reckless teenager to a sensible adult.

From a child who knew nothing to a responsible person.

From a mischievous prince to a wise king.

He had changed.

“What is it, Senior Sister Xue?” Emperor Qi Kan Tian raised his head and looked at his senior sister with a smile. “Are you thinking of waging war against Fei Yang Kingdom too?”

“No.” Qi Xue pursed her lips. “For this matter, you have the most insight and can decide what you want to do without having to ask me.”

“I’ve been on this throne for 2 decades.” Emperor Qi Kan Tian looked into the distance. He was pushed to the throne in his teenage age, having to face the devastated kingdom due to war.

For many years, he was tortured, pressured, and worked tirelessly for this broken kingdom.

Time had changed him.

Now, he was already 33 years old.

No longer the same young him who could only cry and being pushed around on the throne by these officials. He was the one who hold the control of the court and had the power to make Qi Xi Kingdom better.

But if he had to go on another war, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Qi Xi Kingdom was indeed getting better.

But facing the other kingdoms who were much stronger, it was impossible for them to match those monsters.

“It’s not too long nor too short.” Emperor Qi Kan Tian looked into the distance. “I just have to wait for a few more years.”

Qi Xue looked at the decadent Emperor in front of her, not knowing what else to say.

In the end, she lowered her eyes and moved away. Facing Emperor Qi Kan Tian when he was melancholy, she simply couldn’t do anything. Even if she knew what he was thinking, she didn’t dare to respond.

Because if she did, it would only hurt the two of them.

They could only pretend that they didn’t know and maintained this senior sister and junior brother’s relationship while acting as the Emperor and maidservant for the outside world.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Emperor Qi Kan Tian never showed his intention so obviously, understanding what she was thinking and also not wanting to pierce this layer of relationship. Because he also didn’t want to destroy what was left.

He had lost so many things.

Just for him to become a good Emperor who could rule Qi Xi Kingdom, many things were lost on the way.

And not a single one of them could ever return.
