Chapter 220: The Last Living Descendant (2)
Xing paced to and fro in front of the Emperor biting her fingernail and her entire body had gone cold by her finding. But still she believed that to be true.
"How... How could you say this, Mingxia? Tianshi Emperor didn’t have an heir and that’s why he split the kingdom and gave it to his brothers. That’s how our three nations were born... It is a well established fact..", the Emperor could not believe it either. Why is she suddenly saying that sun rises from the west?
" You see, I found this odd feeling when I read that last page of that journal... Now I know what...! That journal was written by the Empress and she had mentioned herself in the first person and the Tianshi Emperor in the third person. But the last page, she wrote using the first and second person pronouns. ’I wanted to have at least some more time with you, now that I have, I really don’t want to leave you.. ’ and similar things.... That’s not a journal, it is a letter... A letter to her child! ", Xing was sure.
She figured it out when she was talking about the story to Kouki about her and Chenglie. She used the second person pronoun to Kouki so the Empress should have used it for someone else.
Xing could now see Empress Shu writing that journal sitting in a chair facing her newborn child in her imagination.
She wanted to let the child know that she really loved him and she wanted the child to have a better life even in her absence and to let the child know that he was born out of strong love between his parents and so the child has to live well.
How much pain would she have felt to say goodbye to her child? To bring a child and leave it soon...
But why did she leave this world? Why did the Gods want to separate the Tianshi Emperor and her?
" But she could have written it to the Tianshi Emperor, right? ", the Emperor asked snapping her out of her thoughts. He was too perplexed. If the Tianshi Emperor did have a child, are their descendants still living among us? In that case did the Tianshi Emperor’s brothers steal the throne from the rightful heir and sent away the Tianshi Emperor? If what she is telling is true, won’t it change the entire history of the three kingdoms?
"I don’t know Kouki, it is just a feeling I got from reading the last page. The entire journal was about explaining how they fell in love and what made them decide to marry as the Gods were against their union. It was more like she was telling why she made the choices she made to the reader, that is her child", she sighed," So that’s why there weren’t any explicit details... "
The Emperor was shocked to hear what she said, ’Gods were against their union? If so, aren’t they against his brother and her too? Wow! Could that be...’
"Mingxia, you are the Descendant of Tianshi Emperor, aren’t you?", he asked her
