Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2357: Qi Kan Tian and Qi Xue’s Past



Qi Xue didn't answer.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening it once more. Looking at the

solemn Qi Kan Tian in front of her, Qi Xue understood that Qi Kan Tian is really the emperor of Qi Xi Kingdom.

He might not have glorious record like other emperor.

He might not bring Qi Xi Kingdom to move forward.

But he's the emperor when Qi XI Kingdom was devastated and fell to the bottom. It was through his ability that he propped the entire Qi Xi Kingdom up and used the ministers under him to do his bidding.

Many capable people had left Qi Xi Kingdom.

There were only a handful of people who could truly lead Qi Xi Kingdom and Qi Kan Tian had to guide them all and lead them to protect the entire Qi Xi Kingdom.

The alliance with Fei Yang Kingdom...

Perhaps from the beginning, Qi Kan Tian had already seen that the young emperor from Fei Yang Kingdom had the capability to change the land. He switched side in hope that he would be able to give the best for his people.

And Qi Xi Kingdom is the last to stand.

The other kingdoms have been destroyed by Fei Yang Kingdom and their territories were merged with Fei Yang Kingdom.

Only Qi Xi Kingdom was left.

Does this mean something?

Perhaps, it didn't mean much.

But over the past few years, Qi Xue had seen Qi Kan Tian increased the livelihood of the people in Qi Xi Kingdom. He didn't focus much on military anymore and made the people's lives better.

But the improvement was limited.

For this emperor who sat on the throne ever since he was young and had to learn many things, he was not the most capable. In fact, his study has always been a mess when he was young.

Because Qi Kan Tian used not to want to be the emperor.

He had an older brother who will sit on the throne, so he chose to play around and have fun. He learnt what he wanted and put aside the things that he didn't want to know.

But after his older brother's death, Qi Kan Tian had no other choice but to sit on this throne. The throne that was left behind by his father and brother. If he didn't, there were many other people who would take what belonged to his family.

Fighting for power, studying, managing the kingdom, the young emperor who hadn't even become an adult yet had to learn many things.

She had watched over Qi Kan Tian for a long time.

She knew that his talent was limited and becoming the emperor was partially a helpless move and also because he wanted to do something for the kingdom.

Even if his talent was limited, he really did his best for the kingdom without truly expecting much from it. Because this broken Qi Xi Kingdom... couldn't really give him much.

"I understand, Your Majesty," Qi Xue replied, her tone was calm and respectful.

At this moment, she was no longer Qi Kan Tian's senior sister but his servant.

Her position was actually very low but it was because of Traveling Doctor Liu that she was able to befriend the two young princes at that time. And it was also because of this relationship that Qi Kan Tian was willing to play around with her from time to time.

But it didn't mean that she could overstep her bounds.

"Good." Qi Kan Tian smiled faintly and then strode forward. He passed by Qi Xue and didn't stop at all.

He knew very well that many people would be dissatisfied with his decision right now.

But he also knew very well that it was impossible for him not to do this. The current situation of Qi Xi Kingdom.

Ah...

Some people were too fixated to the old glory of Qi Xi Kingdom that they failed to see the reality presented in front of them.

Qi Xi Kingdom is no longer the most powerful kingdom.

They had turned into the weakest kingdom.

Moreover, the other kingdoms could easily trample at them if they were to go on an all out

war.

If not because the delicate situation between each kingdoms, Qi Xi Kingdom would have long ceased to exist.

Before walking out of the hall, Qi Kan Tian stopped.

He looked at the door in front of him and didn't turn around as he said, "When everything is over, you're free to go wherever you want. I'll not restrict you nor stop you from doing whatn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

you want."

After that, Qi Kan Tian opened the door and walked out.

Only Qi Xue was left in the large hall.

She didn't answer Qi Kan Tian because she herself didn't know what she wanted to do and where she should go.

Qi Xue came from Shi Long Kingdom.

To be exact, her master bought her from a slave trader if that person could be called as one. Her parents sold her because they were too poor to feed another child and because she's a girl, they felt that it would be better for them to sell her out.

They had another son and was hoping that the son would be the one to provide for them when

they grew up.

It was a patriarchal family.

A common type of family in this world and era.

At that time, Qi Xue was 13 years old.

She was no longer that young.

And from the conversation between her parents and that man, Qi Xue knew that they planned

to marry her to a bad man in different village.

What would happen to her, they didn't care.

What they cared was the pitiful money that was given to them by the man who brought her

out.

Qi Xue could still remember that day very clearly.

Even if nearly three decades have passed ever since that time, Qi Xue would always remember

the vivid scene of that day.

Some things... simply couldn't be forgotten easily.
