Chapter 816 - 100: Wind! Wind! Strong Wind!_3
"You awakened me, looking back at all the past moments now, I realized all regrets are due to struggles, the so-called Heavenly Mandate is merely man-made. Indeed, in the eyes of the royal family, I, the Emperor, am nothing but a puppet."
Ji Zichang laughed heartily, finally silent for a long time, and said:
"The Emperor’s suffering, the people’s suffering."
"But in the end, I’m much better off than the common people."
"I feel waves of suffering and pain, but can still drink to drown my sorrows, talk to you, but the common people can only struggle to live with their heads down. In this sense, my so-called suffering seems to be somewhat of a groundless lament."
"But looking back over these past thirty-plus years, each step felt heavy, everything seemed to be led by someone, the more I think about it, the worse I feel, unable to sleep all night, and when I think about the pain, I even can’t help but shed tears."
"But do you say noble sons are all bad? Yet, Noble Consort Wen is truly a good person, she is indeed wholeheartedly devoted to me, but I can’t respond, because if I do, her brothers would become rampant, and she might suffer a fatal disaster."
Ji Zichang took large gulps of wine, he had the martial cultivation of Fourth Layer Heaven, and with the help of the family-inherited Divine Weapon, he could manifest the Dharma Form of the Red Dragon, yet now he was drunk.
The wine does not intoxicate, people intoxicate themselves.
"Brother, tell me, what if I was just a poor ranger?"
"With a wooden sword, couldn’t even afford shoes, then met my ’ill-fated’ childhood sweetheart, her face shy, my heart full of heroism, eyes filled with the world, would our story be different?"
