Chapter 1762 The Trigger for the Breakup

After Hua Xiu was captured by the Xiongnu, he was rescued by Huo Qubing.

Afterwards, Hua Xiu said that she wanted to marry Huo Qubing and asked me to grant her the marriage.

Hua Xiu has been by my side since she was six years old.

After all these years, I have never seen her fall in love with a man.

To be honest, I really don’t want Hua Xiu to leave me. After all, if she marries Huo Qubing, wouldn’t I become a lonely old man in the future?

But in the end, I agreed.

Huo Qubing was twenty-three years old at the time. Only with him did the Han Dynasty gain dignity.

You must know that before my generation, the Huns were extremely arrogant, invading my Han territory and killing my Han people.

It was Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who changed this situation. Huo Qubing truly made it possible for the Huns to escape far away, leaving Monan without a royal court.

But after I married Hua Xiu to Huo Qubing, various discordant voices appeared in the court.

The ministers all said that Huo Qubing had such great achievements that he could not be retained and had to avoid future troubles!

Others say that Huo Qubing has too much power, and Hua Xiu has a special destiny. If I marry Hua Xiu to Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing will definitely turn against me!

Ancient emperors had three choices for the heroes who had great achievements and shocked the emperor.

The first is to cut through the mess with a sharp knife.

The second type of unconditional trust.

The third type is peaceful.

To be honest, I also thought about killing Huo Qubing.

But when I think about spending time off, I can only give up.

But one day, the minister reported that Huo Qubing was seriously ill and asked me if he wanted to give him medicine.

I didn't take it seriously at first and just said I would give him medicine.

But the minister unexpectedly guessed my intentions and secretly sent poison to Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing was already seriously ill, and he couldn't live long even without my poison.

But this poison became the trigger for Hua Xiu and me to break up.

After Huo Qubing died, Hua Xiu met me.

I originally expected Hua Xiu to yell at me.

But in fact, Hua Xiu didn't. She just said to me calmly: "Brother Huang, do you know why I want to marry Huo Qubing?"

I shook my head and replied, "I don't know."

Hua Xiu explained: "Because of you, I originally wanted to propose marriage to attract your attention, but what happened? You actually agreed to marry me happily..."

I looked at Hua Xiu blankly, not knowing how to explain it.

Hua Xiu continued: "I have never been attracted to a man. At first I wanted to use Huo Qubing to make you angry. I naively thought that doing so would make you stay with me as often as you did when you were a child."

"But... you still don't care about me."

"Later, I discovered that I was indeed attracted to Huo Qubing, but what happened after that? You sent someone to kill him again."

Hua Xiu looked at me with disappointment in his eyes and said: "Brother Emperor, it was you who brought me out of that courtyard. It was you who protected me since I was a child. You ignored the objections of the ministers and made me the princess of a man again."

"I thought you and I, brother and sister, would always be like this."

"But since you took that seat, you have never come to see me again. Every time I go to look for you, you always disappear for various reasons..."

I looked at Hua Xiu and said in a hoarse voice: "Hua Xiu, I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and all the people in the world are my relatives. Since I sit in this position, I must think about them and live for them. …”

Hua Xiu looked at me with red eyes and asked, "What about me? Then am I not your relative?"

"Of course you are."

I replied.

Hua Xiu raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "I would rather become your subject, because then I can enjoy your supreme gift! It won't be like this now." (End of Chapter)
