"That day, Emperor Gan asked you, for the sake of so-called love, he would give up everything you have in the end, and power and status would have nothing to do with you in the future, would you really not regret it?" Xu Tianze's eyes were a little dazed, and he still felt a little sad when he thought about it now.
"Jiang'er, the person asking you this question now is not the emperor of Gan Kingdom, but a father. Are you really willing to abandon your father and leave?" There was an unremovable disappointment in Emperor Gan's eyes, and the white hair at his temples told the sadness of an old man.
Long Mujiang, the second prince of the Gan Kingdom, was born to Concubine Shu, who was a beautiful and intelligent person. He was one of the most outstanding among his many sons. He had thought of passing the throne to this son, but now this son was about to abandon everything for the so-called "Duanxiu".
"Father, I am your son, I have no..." Long Mujiang didn't dare to look at his father's disappointed eyes, but he was still fighting for it with all his strength.
"Long Mujiang!" Xu Tianze interrupted Long Mujiang and bowed to Emperor Gan.
This interruption made Emperor Gan and the other two focus their attention on him, but Xu Tianze did not feel uncomfortable because of this. He just looked straight at Long Mujiang.
"I, Xu Tianze, have never been a big shot, so naturally I don't have any idea of wanting others to give up everything for me." Having said that, Xu Tianze smiled and bowed to Emperor Gan again.
"In the past, Long Musi was also asked this question by His Majesty. At that time, his answer was no regrets. However, I know that what he truly desires is power, not a burden like me. Now, His Majesty is asking this question to you again."
"I hope you can tell me what you really think. If you are obsessed with power, I, Xu Tianze, am willing to stay away from you and never see you again in this life. If you really lose everything because of me, Xu Tianze, then I, Xu Tianze, am also willing to draw a clear line between us."
There was determination in Xu Tianze's eyes and sincerity in his tone. He had never been a true lover, nor had he ever felt that love was enough to satisfy him.
He is very realistic. He knows that the love between two people should not be about one giving up everything for the other, but about mutual growth. Being a homosexual is already despised by the world, and if she has to give up something she was born with because of him, she will lose it.
Then Xu Tianze would rather draw a clear line with Long Mujiang and not continue to be entangled like this. In the end, they would just become a pair of resentful couple and would find it difficult to spend the rest of their lives in peace.
When Emperor Gan heard what Xu Tianze said, he felt a little complicated. He had planned Xu Tianze's life, and in the end, his two sons were tied to Xu Tianze, plus Xiaoliu who had been at the border.
Sometimes, Emperor Gan didn't know whether he was wronging Xu Tianze or Xu Tianze was harming his Long family, so Xu Tianze's words now made him no longer cruel enough to force his second son.
He even wanted to let go at this time. In the end, he would let his second son make the choice and bear the consequences.
Long Mujiang understood what Xu Tianze meant. As long as he wanted, Xu Tianze would retreat and never appear in front of him again. Even if he lost everything because of Xu Tianze and was accused of being unfilial, Xu Tianze would still be willing to stay away from him rather than let him regret and resent him.
"I have no regrets..."
The evasive look in Long Mujiang's eyes made Xu Tianze feel how ridiculous he was, just like an actor on the beam, being fooled over and over again without knowing it.
"Now, you regret it, don't you, Your Highness the Wise King?" Xu Tianze wiped away his tears fiercely and looked at Long Mujiang with a smile.
"You can tell me. As long as you tell me, I, Xu Tianze, will definitely not appear in front of you. Didn't you know about this a long time ago? But why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me?!"
Long Mujiang took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was now the king of Gan Kingdom. What he needed was to hide his emotions and not let others expose his weaknesses. He certainly couldn't stand being attacked like this in front of everyone.
When he opened his eyes, all the guilt and remorse were suppressed in the deepest part of his heart, and his eyes were calm without a ripple.
"I have done nothing wrong, and I have no regrets. No matter what you say now, I am the monarch of this country and the only king of the Three Kingdoms."
"No matter what you think, Xu Tianze, I am the king now, and you, Xu Tianze, are the people. You have no right to question me like this!!" After saying that, Long Mujiang condensed a powerful aura and pressed towards Xu Tianze.
What is happening now is not a conflict between lovers, but the difference in status between a king and a commoner. It is a chasm between the two, and it is also a barrier that Long Mujiang will never be able to cross in the future.
Xu Tianze smiled and nodded. He thought he had no hope, but when Long Mujiang walked in front of him, he still had a glimmer of hope. He wanted Long Mujiang to explain and wanted Long Mujiang to tell him that in fact, he, Long Mujiang, had only loved Xu Tianze from the beginning to the end, not any power.
When the Crown Prince and Long Muse saw Xu Tianze and Long Mujiang falling out, they felt a little sad for a moment, because they had always been very clear about Xu Tianze's attitude towards Long Mujiang, and they also knew that Xu Tianze's heart would never accommodate anyone other than Long Mujiang.
Although they sometimes envied Long Mujiang's good luck, they didn't know what to say when they saw how attached Long Mujiang was to Xu Tianze. But now it seemed that everything Long Mujiang did was just to take advantage of Xu Tianze.
"Long Mujiang, have you never thought that there will be a day when you will regret it?" Long Musi looked at his second brother, with a complexity in his eyes that Long Mujiang could not understand.
Such a look also made Long Mujiang extremely disgusted, because he saw pity in Long Musai's eyes, as if he, who was about to ascend the throne, was a poor creature.
"What's that look in your eyes? He's just a prisoner. I will never regret it, and I don't even know what regret is." Long Mujiang snorted coldly. He had already made up his mind. When everything was settled, he would dig out Long Musi's eyes.
When the time comes, he wants to see how Long Mus will still look at him with such eyes.
"Yes, you will regret what you do today in the future." Just like him now.
Long Musi shook his head and never said the second half of the sentence, because he knew that only after experiencing it personally would one truly regret it, and before experiencing it, no one else's words would have any effect.
"Hmph, I..."
“Puff—”
"Your Majesty!" / "Crack!"
