333 The Fate of the Emperor of Ming Kingdom (2/2)
Many people were aiming to make use of him. Though their scheme failed due to the people he had chosen to stay on his side. Still, those people fell one by one because of the retaliation from the people, especially the big family.
”Suppressing is one thing, a massacre is a different thing. Innocent people are dying just for your reckless move, you're unsuitable to be a leader,” Ming Hui sighed.
”There are things you can do as a leader without having to resort to killing,” Jun Hua added.
That voice… the Emperor stared at Jun Hua with disbelief. Although the voice was still high like any other girl, the childish tone was that of Jun Min. Looking towards the young lady who wore the veil, he guessed that she must be Jun Hua. However, upon hearing that voice, he has the feeling that the one in front of him was not that timid lady, but rather the towering young general that had accomplished so much in the battlefield.
No way… did it mean that the Jun Family had been tricking him all these years? The one they claimed as their adopted son was actually the daughter from the Lin Family? Still, his heart denied it because he couldn't believe a girl would have that much skill and ability.
Yan noticed the surprised look on the emperor, ”You forgot to change your voice. But even if you know about it, there is nothing you can do anymore, emperor.”
So… it was true. The Emperor deeply regretted allowing the Lin Family to give birth to this girl. Many of his plans were ruined due to her appearance and ability.
”Without these big families, the Ming Kingdom would have fallen to the other kingdoms. You never realized how much they hate you, don't you?”
After visiting them, Yan knew very well that the other kingdoms were aiming to divide the Ming Kingdom among themselves. With the rich soil and resources, the Ming Kingdom was a treasure. With the addition of the emperor being such an ambitious person, they schemed to take the kingdom down.
Jun Hua shook her head lightly. This man didn't understand that if he followed his father footsteps, he could achieve what he did. After all, the previous emperor managed to rein the four big and powerful families without using force and suppression like this foolish emperor. Now, everything had gone from his hand due to his wrong method.
Jun Hua turned toward Soujin, ”Well, Soujin, we leave him for you.”
Soujin waved his hand to them, and they got out of the room while Soujin finished his work. He didn't tell anyone what happened inside the room and the other also didn't ask. All they could hear was the painful wail from the previous Emperor, but no one has the slightest intention to help the man.
”I think, I no longer have any kind of affection for him,” Ming Hui said in a low voice as they got out. ”Even if he's my father, I don't think I will ever feel regret about this decision of mine.”
Yan nodded his head. ”Don't think too much. Let's head back to the palace and help me out.”
”You just want to have a helping hand in handling those matters, lazy emperor.”
”You know me very well.”
Jun Hua didn't follow after the two of them as she stood in front of the building. She thought that she would feel delight upon seeing the one who changed her entire life died, but she felt rather empty. All she felt was a relief for the fact that the man wouldn't be able to do anything anymore.
Time passed swiftly and before she knew it, the wailing sound faded. Soujin walked out of the building and looked towards the woman in front of him. The two of them stared at each other as they spoke through each other's eyes. There was no need for words.
”Let's go back,” Soujin finally broke the silence.
He stepped forward and took Jun Hua's hand into his own. The two of them walked away from the place and gathered again with the others. No one talked about what happened inside the building anymore. The only thing that they agreed was telling everyone that the emperor had died on war.
