The Runaway Princess: The Story of the Moon

Chapter 387 Cruel War

"Silly boy, you should take care of yourself first." The third aunt is a loving elder, and after she patted my head gently, she went out with everyone.

Seeing that everyone had left, I said to Yunxuan: "Yunxuan, is Qingxuan's situation very bad now? Is it possible that Xing Yan will step down?"

"Yue Yaer... don't worry about these things, it's important to heal your wounds well. Look at you, you've always been hurt these days, and I'll be very worried if you're like this." Yun Xuan talked about him, but didn't answer the following my question.This makes me think what Ji Xueyi said should be true.

"Yunxuan, tell me!" I looked at him firmly, "I'm not only asking because of Xing Yan, but also the people of the Three Kingdoms who were implicated in this war."

"Yes... His condition is very bad. If we continue to create troubles and put pressure on him in the country, and Nanling and Zhuoyao jointly launch a general attack, he may really be deposed. Maybe you will think it is cruel, but now Xing You already have an heir, Qingxuan has a little prince, even though he is only a baby after ascending the throne, there is a precedent in the past for the empress dowager and courtiers to assist the government."

The empress dowager assists the government, which reminds me of the young Kangxi and the wise Xiaozhuang, yes, the same situation happened here and in ancient China.

"After fighting for so long, have many people died?"

"Yueya, these...you...you better not ask."

"Is it a lot? Fifty thousand? One hundred thousand? Or 15?" I know that people die every day because of wars, but I never want to think about it, and I dare not face up to the number.I'm scared, I'm really, really scared.

Yunxuan remained silent and did not tell me the answer.

I gripped the brocade quilt tightly with both hands, and the knuckles of my fingers turned white from pinching too hard: "Is it... more?"

"It should have exceeded 20." Yun Xuan answered in a soft and slow voice after thinking for a long time.

Immediately, I felt my mind went blank, my heart was indescribably depressed, and even breathing became difficult.So many innocent people died because of me.I……

Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, Yun Xuan asked with concern: "Yueyue...Yueyue...what's wrong with you? Talk to me!"

"Yunxuan, I suddenly feel very tired. I'm really tired. I want to rest." I lay down and closed my eyes, but the dark clouds in my heart were hard to dispel for a long time.

Ji Xueyi is right, the most selfish person is me.I have been pretending to be stupid and hiding behind Yunxuan, hiding in my own world of peace and indifference to the lives of other people. The lives of these 20 people were all killed by me.At this time, the battlefield scenes I had seen on TV before appeared one by one in front of my eyes.Such cruelty and blood.No, I can't let things go on.
