Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2242: Qi Kan Tian and Qi Xue

Hmm?

Qi Kan Tian arched his eyebrows at Qi Xue and chuckled. "I'm indeed no longer that young, but I can assure you that I'm still healthy."

"You didn't sleep last night," Qi Xue said coldly.

"Ah... You send your people to watch over me again, huh?" Qi Kan Tian sighed deeply when he heard Qi Xue's words. But his tone sounded rather relaxed. "It's fine, I just can't sleep last night thinking about the war."

Thinking about the war?

Qi Xue looked at Qi Kan Tian with a frown.

It was spring and the snow had started to melt, but it was precisely during this period of time that Qi Kan Tian usually couldn't sleep and often wandered around at night.

Why?

Because Qi Kan Tian's older brother, the previous emperor before him who only sat on the throne for a few days, died in spring.

The time was close to the time when Qi Kan Tian's brother died.

And during this period of time, Qi Kan Tian was a bit restless.

Coupled with the ministers coming to him again and again to persuade him to go to war, Qi Kan Tian couldn't really rest. Right now, he looked really tired and his aged face made him look like he was already in his forties or even fifties while in truth, he was still in his thirties. Qi Xue, who was older than Qi Kan Tian by several years, even looked much younger than him.

"You have done a good job. Take a rest more, Qi Kan Tian. You need to rest or your body wouldn't be able to take it," Qi Xue said each word slowly.

Qi Kan Tian smiled faintly when he heard Qi Xue's words. He understood that Qi Xue was concerned about him, but he didn't really need her to be so fussy about him. He knew his body well.

"I'm fine."

Qi Xue shook her head and then turned around.

Watching Qi Xue's back, Qi Kan Tian said, "You should also sleep and rest more, Qi Xue. The matter of the Imperial Palace is not very busy lately."

Qi Xue's body trembled and she nodded before she walked away.

The death of his older brother caused irreversible damage for both him and Qi Xue. Because both of them cared for him very much.

The competitiveness of the Imperial Family was not very strong in Qi Xi Kingdom. The brothers were usually working together and they would do that a lot in order to make the kingdom better.

When one of them finally rose to the throne, the others would retreat.

Some of them would still be used by their brother.

While the others were forgotten and couldn't be used because of some reasons.

But the relationship between the family members were usually not that bad. The bloody battles between siblings were not that common in Qi Xi Kingdom.

It was in other kingdoms that would have a lot of problems.

Qi Kan Tian and his older brother were born from the same mother and the two of them were close to each other. They grew up together and Qi Kan Tian always knew that his older brother would become the emperor, so he didn't have much thought for this seat.

Even if he received enough education to allow him to sit on the throne too, it would normally not happen as long as his older brother could grow up smoothly.

But it didn't happen.

Qi Kan Tian's older brother died in the joint war against the other kingdoms for the sake of their kingdom.

The young Qi Kan Tian couldn't accept it back then.

His older brother had only sat on the throne for a few days due to their father's death on the frontline and then he also passed away.

The throne was given to Qi Kan Tian who was still a teenager.

He was only 13 or so years old that year.

And the throne was handed to him.

"It's not fair for you to leave," Qi Kan Tian said slowly as he looked at the ceiling above him.

He could remember how much his older brother wanted to become the Emperor and always said his ambition to him.

But in the end, none of the dreams could be realized.

He fell first.

Leaving him and Qi Xue alone in this world.

Both him and his older brother were disciples of Traveling Doctor Liu. The two of them were having fun with Traveling Doctor Liu, learning many things and so on. They also met with the other disciples and interacted with them.

It was a fun time.

The time when he didn't have to think about anything but studying and playing with his brother and others.

But the fun times didn't last long.

Qi Xi Kingdom's ambition was slowly revealed and other kingdoms couldn't tolerate their existence. It was also because of this that the joint war started...

Qi Kan Tian took a deep breath.

He couldn't help but remember his older brother and his father whenever it was near spring. Coupled with the talk of the war that was very frequent recently, Qi Kan Tian knew that it was impossible for him to forget about it.

The ministers would not let him rest without giving them answer.

"Perhaps, if you're the one who's here, you can do a better job, Brother," Qi Kan Tian

murmured in a low voice.

His older brother had a bigger dream and also had a lot of things that he wanted to do for Qi Xi Kingdom. His innovative ideas and also his way of treating the subordinate made him very

popular.

But fate was truly unkind.

It was such a person who had to shoulder everything of Qi Xi Kingdom and eventually had to die for the kingdom.

"Sometimes, I wonder whether it's truly worth it, Brother," Qi Kan Tian said in a low voice. His heart was filled with pain and he closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress the feelings in

his heart.
