Chapter 2569: Loving the prince, but he doesn’t know (Part 15)

Drinking in the snow, what was life?

Luo Qing Chen told her story in a calm voice, but when she spoke of her family being destroyed, her eyes would change a bit.

Du Jiu Sheng could see this.

“If the crown prince isn’t a kind a person, how could the empress be a kind person?”  Du Jiu Sheng laughed at himself before looking at the moon in the sky with a dim look in his eyes, “Do you want to hear my story?”

She was surprised.  She could see his sad eyes and her heart strangely felt tense as she didn’t want to see his eyes like this.

Come to think of it, concubine Rou was also a victim of the struggle between the north and south factions.

“Alright.”  Luo Qing Chen said with a faint smile, “We already said that we won’t stop until we’re drunk, so let the wind take the stories of the past away.”

He took a sip of wine before he slowly started telling his story.

Just like her, he used a calm voice to talk about a story of life and death.

It had to be said, she had thought that concubine Rou had died because of the struggle between the north and south factions.

But it wasn’t like this.  Concubine Rou had really died so that the one she loved could live.

She loved emperor Mo more than anything else.

It was a pity that in emperor Mo’s eyes, his power was more important than beauty.

Instead of saying that concubine Rou was a victim of the struggle between the north and south factions, it was better to say that she was a victim of emperor Mo.

The Mo Country was on the border and wasn’t as strong as the countries in the central plains.

Rather, it was a medium sized country that was surrounded by all sides and often invaded by smaller countries.

Although they fought many battles, the battlefield would make one exhausted.

Adding in the fact that the Liao People were getting stronger, if the Mo Country couldn’t expand its territories and recruit more soldiers, then they would be in danger.

In the surrounding area of the Mo Country, the richest country with the best geographical region was the neighbouring Xia Country.

Concubine Rou was the princess of the Xia Country, Xia Rou.

Emperor Mo personally went to the Xia Country to profess his love for Xia Rou, but no one knew that Xia Rou would instantly be infatuated with emperor Mo, giving up everything to be with him.

Love at first sight, losing one’s heart at second sight, and falling forever at third sight.

Xia Rou married emperor Mo and the Mo and Xia Countries became allies.

But emperor Mo didn’t just want to build good relations, he wanted to swallow the Xia Country.

Three years later, emperor Mo framed Xiao Rou for colluding with the southern faction and sent her to the cold palace.

And the army invaded the Xia Country.

Why wait three years?  It was because emperor Mo didn’t want others to say that he married Xia Rou just to invade the Xia Country.

Then again, the Xia Country had suffered natural disasters in the following three years and over half of the citizens had died.

The Mo Country as an ally didn’t not just help them, but rather seized this chance.

The two armies fought for less than ten days.  The Mo Country invaded the capital and replaced the Xia Country’s king.

The old king had beat his chest before dying and shouted, “My biggest regret is marrying my daughter to you!”

Hearing Du Jiu Sheng calmly telling this story, she was stunned.

“My mother was depressed after being sent to the cold palace.  She was a woman who lived for love, but it was a pity that emperor Mo never came to see her again.”  Du Jiu Sheng took a large swig of the wine.  There was a dim glow inside of his deep eyes.

She could feel his hatred at that moment even if he didn’t say anything.

This should be a great hatred in his heart!  But in ancient times, the love of the emperor was cold……

“And then?”

“And then……”  Du Jiu Sheng laughed at himself, “She died while endlessly waiting.”
