Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1973

Chapter 1973 Seeds of Hatred (2)

Countless prayers were brought up.

Yet at this time, General Ruan knew that the worst possibility that he had thought had occurred. Instead of him going first, it was his daughter who did.

She's still young. She should have a bright future ahead of hers instead of falling because of a ridiculous reason that put her in danger.

No matter how much General Ruan tried to think about it, he knew very well that it was impossible for his daughter to go against Crown Prince Zhi's decision. He was the one of the highest status aside from the Emperor and sometimes, even the Empress might not be necessarily higher than him.

How could a mere small commander be able to compare?

Should they refuse, they would be labelled as nothing more than traitor and their entire family members would be executed for failing to follow the order.

"Ah… what a rotten world." General Ruan lowered his hand. His eyes were red but no tears came out. He couldn't cry. Not now.

There was no point either.

If crying could ever change what happened in the past, who would not want to cry and try their best to do it as much as possible?

"It should be the black haired who sent the white haired people first…" General Ruan murmured and then looked out.

He never had any good impression of the officials and the Imperial Family. Because during his time when he stayed in the Capital City in the past, he had met with them and saw with his own eyes just what kind of people they were. They were people who cared nothing more than their own profit.

Becoming officials in order to help people?

Ah, what a load of b******.

They were only doing it in order to get more money and power to the point that they would be able to control the court and able to live a lavish life. Comparing them to his father who used to care for the people and live a relatively ordinary life, General Ruan felt that there was simply no comparison. It was really that bad. The Imperial Family only cared about their own lives and the officials only cared about what benefit they could get. Again and again.

Everything just seemed to repeat itself and no improvements had ever been met.

The people who lived near the Capital City was living relatively well but those who lived further were living in barren area. The high tax was making it harder for them to live and what General Ruan could do was to try his best to protect them by killing the bandits around the area. He cared about these people more than those officials from Shi Long Kingdom. And now, they caused his daughter's death. Even if in the eyes of others, this was a worthwhile sacrifice. After all, they felt that the position of Princess Luo was much higher than that of others.
