"Her maid left me a message."
"She doesn't want to see me, and she doesn't even want to be buried with me when she dies."
The man's voice was tinged with sorrow, although his expression remained calm, but Mu Zhiqing had already seen the pain deep in his heart.
He might not have become a general respected by everyone. The young man never had high ideals and ambitions.
The only thing he wanted to do was to be with her, just be with her.
However, things did not go as he wished, and the situation developed completely contrary to what he had imagined, and there was not even a chance for recovery.
At this moment, Mu Zhiqing suddenly understood.
This senior has been asking this question for so many years because he wanted an answer that would convince him and let go of his deep sense of guilt.
"Senior, when the princess was accused of marrying someone else, did she blame you?"
"No."
"Then does she know that she hated you when you destroyed the country?"
Mu Zhiqing's emotions were complicated. In this tragedy, the princess was undoubtedly the most difficult one.
On one side is her brother, on the other is her beloved, but such an irreducible conflict breaks out between them. How does she choose, and where does her heart go
However, no matter which one she chooses, no one can blame her at all.
The man fell into silence, "She should hate me."
"Should it?" Mu Zhiqing frowned slightly, "Did she say it in person?"
"No." He shook his head, "It's just that when I took her away, she didn't want to leave."
"She didn't want to leave, but she never said she hated you..."
Mu Zhiqing raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her and said, "You have never heard her say it in person. Could it be that you have misunderstood all this?"
The man chuckled, "No."
After he finished speaking, his eyes turned serious, "You can answer my question."
"Senior, you are not wrong." Mu Zhiqing said.
After hearing this answer, the man's lips curved into a contemptuous smile, and his eyes gradually became colder.
"I think many people have heard this answer." Mu Zhiqing's eyes darkened, "But I still want to say that you are not wrong."
“There is nothing wrong with you liking someone, and there is nothing wrong with working hard for them.
Even if everyone says that you are murderous and have blood on your hands, so what? "
"Did you accept it calmly when the emperor betrothed your beloved woman to someone else, or did you remain silent when he dealt with your brothers and sisters
No bloody man can stand it. All you do is not understood by others and harms the interests of others.
If you don't live for yourself, what's the point of everything? "
"You think she hates you for making such a decision, but if you accept it so cowardly, then... will you still be a hero in her eyes?"
Mu Zhiqing's eyes were serious. As she grows older, many things will become different.
But... the appearance of the hero as a boy must be what touches her heart the most.
That righteousness will not change, and that pride will not break.
If this changes, it will be a real disappointment.
"She must be sad, but I don't think she will resent you.
If you are really resentful, you will never say anything. Your silence is just because you are sad, not because you hate you. "
Mu Zhiqing slowly expressed her thoughts, "Senior, this is my sincere words.
I guess... for so many years, you have been feeling guilty, are you waiting for someone to tell you that you were wrong? "
