After crossing, I was miserable.

Although the current emperor does not have great talent or strategy, he is still a wise ruler.

Because he inherited the throne at a young age and was in a period of war and turmoil,

Therefore, he was very concerned about the suffering of the people. He was also determined to become a wise ruler and had been working hard for this end.

He fulfilled his responsibilities as an emperor towards the country and the court; he was also able to treat the harem equally and not favor any concubine at will, so that there would be no dirty things happening in the harem due to competition for favor.

He has been brainwashing himself.

However, every time he dreamed of midnight, he would be overwhelmed by the guilt and regret he felt towards his eldest sister.

He told himself again and again that he was right.

But I feel frustrated again and again, all because I am too incompetent.

I actually want my imperial sister to endure such pain and become the object of marriage.

Whenever I think of my sister's beautiful and resolute face, my heart is filled with self-blame and regret.

If I were stronger, if I had enough ability to protect her, I wouldn't let her fall into that situation.

But the reality is so cruel that she can only watch her sister being sent far away, away from her hometown and relatives, facing an unknown fate alone.

The imperial sister has always been the pride of her father and mother. She is smart, gentle and kind, and is deeply loved by everyone.

So, when his eldest sister proposed to marry a foreign prince, he instinctively wanted to object, but he couldn't really refuse.

I have to admit that these years of self-brainwashing have had some effect.

Because the emperor had completely forgotten that it was he who directed and acted out the plot against Princess Yihe and made her take the initiative to propose a marriage.

Because he knew that his imperial sister was smart, generous, and well-thought-out, and was deeply loved by his father.

If she were a prince, the throne would definitely belong to her.

So, when he first ascended the throne, he would ask his sister any questions he had.

Princess Yihe would make any sacrifice for her younger brother, including her lifelong happiness.

Perhaps after becoming the king of a country, one's state of mind will undergo subtle changes without one realizing it.

This change may not happen overnight, but it will gradually emerge over time.

The expansion of power, the increase of responsibilities, and the admiration and awe of the people are intertwined together, like an invisible net that tightly shrouds the emperor.

In such an environment, a simple and kind person may become scheming; a humble and gentle person may become arrogant;

The wise rulers who used to care about the people of the world may even become tyrants who only care about pleasure and don’t care about the lives of the people...

But is all this inevitable or accidental? Perhaps only those who are in that position know it best!

Therefore, when the emperor "inadvertently" revealed to Princess Yihe that Qin would only help if they wanted a marriage alliance, Princess Yihe did not hesitate to offer to help.

His selfish desire was to help his younger brother secure the throne; his public-spirited desire was to stabilize the country.

The emperor also told himself again and again that he did this for the sake of national justice.

But when he knew that his sister had a team of secret guards that only emperors had, he still felt uncomfortable.

He even wondered why his sister didn't tell him.

Is she really going to be the "regent" behind the scenes as others say, and keep him like a puppet?

Even if she married to another country, could she still use the secret guards of the Chu royal family that only the emperor could use?

He had completely forgotten that this secret guard was something the old emperor had told him about when he was dying. It was a backup plan for him in case of any accidents.

Jealousy and entitlement have distorted his mentality beyond all recognition.

So, when Princess Yihe asked him for help, he chose to turn a blind eye. He felt that his omnipotent sister could solve the problem herself.

But when he actually learned that his extremely noble and respected imperial sister had passed away, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable grief in his heart.

It seemed as if the whole world had become dim and dull at this moment, losing its original color and vitality.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting his heart hard and catching him off guard. It made him unable to accept this cruel reality for a while.

So, he actually sent people to look for Chu Yan and his brothers, but they missed them.

Before he could find them, Princess Yihe's secret guards brought Chu Yan back.

When he saw Xiao Chuyan was sick, he thought of how his sister took care of him when he was sick.

But at that time, not only did he not feel any sympathy for the sick little Chu Yan, but he felt that Chu Yan's existence was like a reminder to him.

It was because of him that his sister died and her child became like this.

He couldn't accept the dark thoughts in his mind, so in order to make his conscience feel better, he threw little Chu Yan into the cold palace and left him to fend for himself.

Anything that happened in the palace would cause a stir, and slowly the news spread that a concubine in the cold palace had secretly given birth to a prince.

The emperor at that time not only knew the news, but also made it more specific.

He wants to cover up Chu Yan's identity.

If those old ministers knew that Princess Yihe's child was in such a situation, I don't know what kind of trouble would arise.

At that time, the State of Chu did not have the strength to fight against the State of Qin for a princess.

But if the news gets out, if we don’t do anything, other countries or our own people might think that

The State of Chu was easy to bully, and its emperor was easy to bully and cowardly.

By then, how will the dignity of the king of a country be preserved?

As the emperor admired by all people, if he couldn't even protect his own sister,

How can they protect their people and convince them?

Wouldn't we become the laughing stock of the whole world!

Not to mention that it will affect the majesty and credibility of the court, from a personal perspective, the emperor will certainly feel humiliated and ashamed!

After all, if such things were to spread, it would not only damage the royal reputation, but could also shake the foundation of its rule!

Because he vaguely felt that there was something strange about his sister's death, but he didn't have the strength to do so now, so he could only let it go for the time being.

The Qin State also "cooperated" and announced it to the world on the grounds that Princess Yihe had passed away.

And everyone thought that her children were still being raised by the Qin royal family.

Since Princess Yihe married into a foreign country, this marriage became a bond of friendly exchanges between the two countries.

Not only has the trade between the two countries become more frequent, but cultural exchanges have also become increasingly close.

This has greatly benefited the people on both sides and their lives have been greatly improved.

In terms of economy, with the prosperity of trade, a wider variety of goods appeared on the market, prices were relatively stable, and people's purchasing power increased.

At the same time, foreign technologies and concepts have also promoted the development and innovation of domestic industries, created more employment opportunities, and improved people's income levels.

In the cultural field, there are more and more exchanges in art, academia and other fields between the two countries. People can appreciate music, dance and painting of different styles and experience the customs and culture of foreign countries.

This integration of diverse cultures has both broadened people's horizons and enriched their spiritual world.

In addition, Princess Yihe actively promoted cooperation in education and cultivated batches of outstanding talents for the two countries. These people shine in various fields and contribute to the progress of society.

In short, although Princess Yihe did not compete for favor in the harem,

However, as the first princess to marry a foreign princess, Princess Yihe's marriage brought real benefits to the people of both countries.

Because of this, when she has children, her children will inevitably become the object of pursuit by the people of both countries.

And such a result will inevitably bring disaster to them.

When the Qin royal family saw that Princess Yihe's death had such a great impact on the people, they were all glad for their decision.

Otherwise, it would be like raising a tiger to cause harm.

On the streets and alleys, people shed tears silently and expressed their nostalgia for her to each other; she won the respect and love of the people of both countries.

Her departure is not only the end of her personal destiny, but also a great loss to the friendly exchanges between the two countries.

However, selfish people only consider their own interests and do not care about anything other than themselves.
