"I regret it not because I think I was wrong, but because I know what I really want in my heart. It turns out that being a descendant of the royal family cannot fill the emptiness in my heart."
"What filled my empty heart has been lost by me in my choices again and again. Do you think I'm ridiculous?" Long Musi wiped the cold tears from his face and showed a self-deprecating smile.
He is the third prince of Gan State, the King Jing who is praised and admired by everyone, and the patron saint of Jiangnan. How can he easily shed tears in front of others? This is too embarrassing.
It was not something that Long Musi would do, but he just couldn't help it, he couldn't help but want to ask the man in front of him.
"If there is still a chance to choose again, can I get your choice again?"
Xu Tianze was silent for a while. He didn't know how to answer Long Musi's question, because he didn't know what choice he would make if he had the chance to do it again.
But what he has always been clear about is Long Musi's desire for the throne and his determination to gain power.
That is why when the Xu family was destroyed, he knelt on one knee to Long Musi in the blood-soaked Xu Mansion to express his loyalty, and was willing to be a knife to stir up trouble in Shangjing City.
While overturning the Xu family's verdict, he also sought all the benefits for Long Musi. At that time, he had the same clear purpose as Long Musi, so he never thought about other things.
Later, after being abandoned by Long Muse again and again, he gradually understood what was most important to Long Muse.
Now that people who have seen through everything have asked him if they would have had a different ending if they had chosen another path, he didn't know how to answer.
"I······"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I already know the answer." Long Musi interrupted Xu Tianze and spoke with a smile.
In fact, he suddenly regretted it and he had lost his courage. He did not dare to hear Xu Tianze's answer at all, because he was afraid that the answer Xu Tianze would say in the end would be different from what he thought.
After Long Musi interrupted Xu Tianze, he hugged Xu Tianze tightly, as if he wanted to hold his world in his arms again.
Then he rushed towards Long Mujiang, but before he could take a few steps forward, he was shot to death on the spot by arrows.
Xu Tianze opened his mouth to say something, and even subconsciously took half a step forward, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Long Musi smiled and looked down at the arrows on his body, with relief in his eyes. Then he turned to look at Xu Tianze, gave Xu Tianze a farewell look, and slowly fell to the ground on his back.
Xu Tianze walked slowly towards Long Musi without saying a word, and all the memories of the past suddenly flooded through his mind.
"Your Highness, do you really want the supreme position?" Xu Tianze lay on the grass in the Divine Doctor Valley, looking at the starry sky above.
"Everyone can sit in that seat, naturally I can sit in it too." Long Musi smiled confidently at that time, and his words were full of determination.
"At the end of this road, Your Highness will be alone. Will Your Highness really not regret it then?" Xu Tianze turned his head to look at Long Musi, with worry and hope in his eyes.
If Long Muse really wants to follow the path of being the supreme ruler, I'm afraid that sooner or later the two of them will go their separate ways, and from then on, Long Muse will be left alone.
Therefore, Xu Tianze didn't want Long Musi to go down this path at all, nor did he want the two of them to meet again many years later without any trust left, only suspicion and calculation. That was not what he wanted.
"Aze, look, if you don't have power, you will have no chance to do what you want to do. Even if the person in power is not happy with you, you will have nothing in the end. Are you really willing to accept this?" Long Musi asked Xu Tianze.
He knew what Xu Tianze was worried about, but compared to that, what he wanted most was to be himself freely. As long as he had enough power, he could do whatever he wanted and never worry about making mistakes again.
Because he is the biggest one, even if he really makes a mistake, no one dares to point fingers at him, and some even have to find ways to please him.
"Even if you are the only one left in the end, don't you care?" Xu Tianze asked the last question with some doubts.
"Yes, no matter what time it is, I, Long Musi, will never regret my choice."
Xu Tianze squatted in front of Long Musi, looking at his pupils that had long lost focus, with uncontrollable sadness still emerging on his face.
"But you still regretted it in the end, Long Musi. Didn't you say you would never regret it?" Xu Tianze murmured softly, a tear rolling down his cheek.
He just stared at Long Muse blankly. The blank in his mind made him no longer able to deal with things with ease as before. He was even a little unsure of what to do next.
Long Mujiang stood there from beginning to end. At the beginning, he was annoyed by Long Musi's words that seemed to express his feelings. Later, when he saw that Xu Tianze did not respond, he inevitably breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, even if Xu Tianze wanted to kill him in the palace, it was only because he had been deceived so badly that he acted impulsively.
In fact, Xu Tianze still had a place for him in his heart, so he silently rejected his third brother. This made him very happy, and even a little relieved in his heart.
Later, when Long Muse took the initiative to hug Xu Tianze, his heart was filled with endless murderous intent. At that time, he had even thought of countless ways to torture Long Muse.
But when Long Musi really died in front of him, all he saw was relief in Long Musi's eyes, and at that time there was only infinite bitterness left in his heart.
But in the end, when he saw Xu Tianze crying for his good third brother, Long Mujiang felt only betrayed in his heart, and he sneered.
"I never thought that Aze was so deeply in love with my third brother. I am really envious of him."
"But unfortunately, you can only see him for the last time." After Long Mujiang finished speaking, he instructed Xichen behind him, "Take him back to the palace and imprison him directly."
Xu Tianze was brought back to reality by Long Mujiang's words. He looked at Long Mujiang's back and said in a hoarse voice, "Aunt, the prince, and Long Musi are all gone. Do you still have relatives in this world?"
"Haha, Long Mujiang, you used to say that I was a pathetic creature without any relatives. What's the difference between you and me now?"
Long Mujiang froze for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "I still have power."
Then he turned away, leaving Xu Tianze and others alone.
