The most romantic little emperor

Chapter 247: Surrendering the country to life and death

Qin Hao watched her leave until her figure gradually went farther and farther away and disappeared at the end of his sight. Then he slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to Concubine Dong, staring at her without saying a word.

The other concubines could no longer bear this weird atmosphere. When they saw Concubine Su taking the lead in leaving, they followed suit and found excuses to leave this place of trouble.

Only Concubine Dong, Wang Yourong and a few other women were left in the room.

Qin Hao spoke frankly and got straight to the point. He asked sincerely, "Auntie Dong, are you worried that I will harm my two brothers?"

Concubine Dong lowered her head slightly and did not answer directly, but she did not deny it either.

Qin Hao shook his head slightly, sighed deeply, and said: "Aunt, please rest assured, I sincerely hope that my two brothers can come back and see father for the last time. Not only them, I will also send people to notify other brothers, and hope they can come back as well."

"However, everyone has their own aspirations. Whether they are willing to come back or whether they choose to stay with our father at this time, I, Qin Hao, will never force them."

"However, there is one thing I can assure you..."

Concubine Dong said respectfully, "Your Highness, please speak."

"I promised in front of my father that I would treat every one of my brothers and sisters well."

Qin Hao said confidently and sincerely: "Besides, I, Qin Hao, am definitely not the kind of person who would do anything to fight for the throne, nor do I disdain to do things that would lead to fratricide. There is only one throne, and if any of my brothers shows extraordinary talent and ability, what if I give it to him?"

Concubine Dong's eyes moved around, flashing with disbelief, as if she had discovered a new continent, feeling a little unbelievable.

Qin Hao didn't care about it at all. He paused for a moment and continued calmly, "To be honest, I'm not interested in the throne at all. My ideal is to be an idle prince, rich and powerful, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and enjoy the prosperity of this world in peace and security."

"My only worry is that even if I hand over the throne to you, can my brothers keep those cunning old foxes in the court at bay, can they contend with those entrenched aristocratic families, can they withstand the blades of the enemy countries, can they defend the beautiful land of Great Xia..."

"If that day really comes, wouldn't we, the descendants of the Qin family, all become eternal sinners of Daxia, ashamed of our ancestors, and unable to rest in peace even after death?"

Concubine Dong was very surprised. She didn't expect Qin Hao to have such far-reaching ideas. This instantly changed her opinion of him.

She couldn't help but sigh, "Your Highness's mind and vision are far beyond that of ordinary people!"

Qin Hao heard Concubine Dong's praise, and a confident smile appeared on his lips. He continued, "Therefore, for the sake of my Qin family's inheritance from generation to generation, and for the well-being of the people of Daxia, I will definitely take on the responsibility of the crown prince."

"However, this does not mean that I will kill my relatives. If my brothers feel that they have grown strong enough and want to compete with me, I don't mind teaching them a lesson and fulfilling my responsibility as an older brother."

After hearing this, Concubine Dong's eyes sparkled with admiration, and she exclaimed: "Your Highness has an extraordinary bearing and has the potential to be a wise ruler. He will surely achieve great things in the future!"

"Gou Li country lives and dies, so how can we avoid misfortune and good fortune?"

Qin Hao smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has a sense of family and country in their hearts. There is no definitive answer as to whether the family or the country came first."

"As the crown prince of the current dynasty, in my eyes, my family is my country, and my country is my country. Only when Daxia is strong can everyone live a peaceful and stable life."

"So, for the sake of my Qin family's foundation, for Daxia to get out of adversity, and for Daxia to stand at the top of the world, I can ignore life and death, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"

After saying that, Qin Hao did not forget to add, "Auntie, you can leave now with peace of mind. If you have thought it through, you don't have to tell me. Just follow your own heart and go with the flow. That is the best choice."

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. You can't force things in this world. I, Qin Hao, am also a casual person. I don't force others to do what they like, so you can rest assured."

Although his words are simple, they contain profound philosophy.

In Qin Hao's eyes, the paths of life vary greatly, and everyone has the right to choose. He respects Concubine Dong's decision and believes that she will make the most correct choice.

When Concubine Dong heard Qin Hao's tolerance towards her, an expression of gratitude and relief appeared on her face. She felt unprecedented ease and comfort, as if she had unloaded all the burdens in her heart and her soul was completely liberated.

She spoke softly, her voice as gentle as silk, with a hint of barely perceptible worry, "Your Highness, there is something that has been bothering me for a long time, but I don't know whether I should ask?"

Qin Hao nodded gently, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, "Aunt, please speak, I am all ears, and I will tell you everything I know."

Concubine Dong hesitated for a moment, as if she was considering her words. "This may sound very treasonous, but I am really worried. If the emperor dies, what will happen to us concubines in the deep palace?"

After Qin Hao heard this, he recalled the conversation with his father, "After I die, let Concubine Dong and Concubine Su be buried with me!"

His attitude at that time was to persuade his father to give up this idea, but his father was unconscious at that time, and the two never discussed this topic again.

Qin Hao knew full well that burying people alive with their father was cruel and ruthless, and he did not want to see the two concubines die with his father, but he did not succeed in persuading them and did not know how to respond to Concubine Dong's words.

He had been thinking about this matter these days, hoping to find a way to respect his father's wishes while not letting the two concubines come to harm.

Of course, there were also personal reasons for this. These two imperial concubines were absolutely one in a million beauties, and he also fantasized about making love with them and going to Wushan together!

So, of course he couldn't bear to see them die like this, but for the time being, he could only think about this kind of thing in his mind.

Concubine Dong sensitively caught the hesitation on Qin Hao's face. Her face turned pale as snow in an instant, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

She bit her lower lip, trying not to show her panic, but silently asked herself in her heart, does the emperor really intend to bury me with him?
