The First Tyrant of Daxia

He felt guilty about this.

If it is true as speculated, a marriage led to sadness for three people.

Then it's really my fault.

"Eleventh brother, I was angry just now, will you blame me?"

Qin Ci forced a bitter smile on his pale face: "Brother Emperor, I have caused such a big mess, but you have been very merciful by only punishing me with a hundred battles."

"If you don't punish me, I'm afraid the civil and military officials won't agree when you return to the imperial capital."

He was very sincere and didn't mind at all.

This made Qin Yun even more confused.

What kind of person is this eleventh brother of mine?

Gu Zhahe, is he innocent or did he do it on purpose?

After a moment of silence, Qin Yun decided to speak up!

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked directly into King Sun-hoon's eyes.

"Eleventh brother, you and I are brothers, born of the same mother. There should be no barriers between us."

"Now my elder brother wants you to tell the truth, do you hate me?"

Qin Ci's eyes flickered for a moment.

He asked in surprise, "Brother Emperor, where do you get this from?"

Qin Yun looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk it out today. I can assure you that I won't blame you."

"Today, there are only brothers and sisters here, no king or ministers!"

Shunxun King Qin Ci looked at him and said, "Brother, are you suspecting that I have the intention of rebellion?"

Qin Yun shook his head: "No!"

"I believe in my own judgment. You are not that kind of person."

Qin Ci said: "If that's the case, why do you ask me, brother?"

Qin Yun pondered.

Suddenly he said: "I already know that you have a childhood sweetheart who has passed away."

Hear this!

Shunxun King Qin Ci's eyes suddenly changed.

His eyebrows were knitted together, and there was a trace of pain on his resolute face that he didn't want to mention!

Seeing this, Qin Yun sighed inwardly, fearing that his guess was correct.

The deceased woman had a huge impact on him, and he has not been able to let it go for all these years.

The atmosphere was dead silent.

No one spoke in the room for a long time.

Later, Qin Ci spoke quietly: "It's all over."

Qin Yun didn't know what to say, and hesitated, "Is her death related to my arranged marriage?"

Qin Ci was silent.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes. This young prince, who was both promising and steady, showed such a look for the first time.

……

Two hours later.

Qin Yun went with him to the hills outside Youzhou City.

There is a clear stream here, and beside the stream is a clean tombstone with undecayed tributes on it.

Five meters away from the tomb is a small hut.

Qin Yun dismounted.

Shunxun King Qin Ci stood side by side with him, looking at the tombstone sadly.

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it his infinite loneliness, as if his whole body was filled with depression, which was not something that could be faked.

"This is Wei Hongyin's tomb."

"She's been dead for many years."

Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned and sighed.

Then he stepped forward, lowered his status, and took the initiative to burn incense.

When you are done, step back gently.

He just said in a deep voice: "You broke up the couple, blame me."

"No!"

Qin Ci shook his head, with no expression on his noble face.

"Her death has nothing to do with you."

"Hong Yin's temper was too fierce, so she chose to commit suicide. Later, it became a hurdle that I could not overcome."

He looked up to the sky and let out a breath of foul air.

It is difficult to see such a mature and lonely look on a young and vigorous prince.

"If I blamed you, I wouldn't have brought you here."

"Royal brother, you don't have to think too much. There is nothing wrong with your marriage proposal."

Qin Yun turned his head to look at him, his eyes flickering.

Really?

Qin Ci turned around and looked at him calmly, as if to prove that he had never held any resentment because of these things.

They looked at each other for a long time.

Qin Yun retracted his gaze and said, "Let the past be past. If you can't let go of something, you are not like a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty."

“People always have to look forward.”

"I miss Miss Wei, but I definitely don't want you to be like this, right?"

Qin Ci grinned, revealing a bright smile, but in that smile there was a hint of heartache.

He looked at the tombstone with gentle eyes and spoke softly.

"In all the nations of the world, for thousands of years, Hong Yin is Hong Yin. There is only one!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun's body was shocked!

What kind of man is this?

Even the yin and yang cannot erase his love. That girl must have been very beautiful when she was alive, right?

Qin Yun was speechless and didn't know how to persuade her, because when the relationship reached this point, persuading her would be a blasphemy.

Besides, I am not suitable for persuasion.

He opened his mouth for a long time before saying, "What about Situ's sister-in-law?"

"She bore you a child."

Qin Ci's dragon robe rolled up, his hair was blown away, and he sighed, "Situ Jing is good in everything, impeccable, but there is only one flaw."

"She is not Wei Hongyin."

Qin Yun was moved. What a regrettable shortcoming.

But that's true about feelings.

then.

Qin Ci said calmly: "Brother, actually that child is not Situ Jing's."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes widened and he looked at him in shock.

He blurted out: "Is it Wei Hongyin's?!"

Qin Ci nodded.

Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.

In other words, Wei Hongyin committed suicide after giving birth to a child and learning that her lover was going to marry a daughter of a prominent family.

No wonder Qin Ci couldn’t let it go for so many years.

No wonder there is always a lack of color in Situ Jing's eyes.

In this past event, all three people were victims, performing their own sorrows in different ways, but they had no choice!

Qin Yun was silent for a long time.

The original owner of the body, that is, himself, had a selfish motive for arranging the marriage, to win over the powerful family!

This result made him feel guilty.

"Eleventh brother, is there anything I can do to compensate you?"

"If possible, I am willing to make amends, I just hope you don't hold a grudge against me because of this." He looked at her closely.

Qin Ci just grinned, seemingly relieved, but actually sad.

"No need, my brother. Just be a good emperor of Daxia, make the country strong, and provide food and clothing for the people. This is my greatest wish."

"Some things are destiny."

Hearing this, Qin Yun felt even more guilty!

Such a brother, wise and loyal to the country, but I still doubt him.

"Okay, I promise you!"

"Be a good ruler of a country and don't let you down."

"Let us two brothers work together to restore the glory of Daxia." Qin Yun stretched out his hand.

Qin Ci slowly clenched his fist with him, forced a smile, and a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

But in the end, he still didn't speak.

It took a while for the incense to burn.

Qin Yun left.

King Shunxun Qin Ci did not leave and stayed in front of the tombstone for a long time.

A cool breeze blew, bringing up a layer of tender green.

This spring when flowers are blooming is not that warm, but rather bleak.

Qin Ci murmured to himself with a deep look in his eyes.

"Hong Yin, do you think what I did was right?"

"My royal brother has become heroic and enlightened, and everything is prosperous. Unfortunately, times have changed, and I have taken a different path. This path was given to me by my royal brother himself."

"We have different positions, and I can't turn back."

“Before I knew it, a whole bunch of people’s lives and deaths were behind me.”

"Just like Situ Jing, she hates me. I know that I am so unfair to her, but I must protect her and the Situ family. This is my responsibility and I owe it to her."

"Can you understand me?"

There was a gentle breeze, but no one answered.

He, Qin Ci, is full of loneliness.
