Hmm?
Qi Kan Tian arched his eyebrows at Qi Xue and chuckled. "I'm indeed no longer that young, but I can assure you that I'm still healthy."
"You didn't sleep last night," Qi Xue said coldly.
"Ah... You send your people to watch over me again, huh?" Qi Kan Tian sighed deeply when he heard Qi Xue's words. But his tone sounded rather relaxed. "It's fine, I just can't sleep last night thinking about the war."
Thinking about the war?
Qi Xue looked at Qi Kan Tian with a frown.
It was spring and the snow had started to melt, but it was precisely during this period of time that Qi Kan Tian usually couldn't sleep and often wandered around at night.
Why?
Because Qi Kan Tian's older brother, the previous emperor before him who only sat on the throne for a few days, died in spring.
The time was close to the time when Qi Kan Tian's brother died.
And during this period of time, Qi Kan Tian was a bit restless.
Coupled with the ministers coming to him again and again to persuade him to go to war, Qi Kan Tian couldn't really rest. Right now, he looked really tired and his aged face made him look like he was already in his forties or even fifties while in truth, he was still in his thirties. Qi Xue, who was older than Qi Kan Tian by several years, even looked much younger than him.
"You have done a good job. Take a rest more, Qi Kan Tian. You need to rest or your body wouldn't be able to take it," Qi Xue said each word slowly.
Qi Kan Tian smiled faintly when he heard Qi Xue's words. He understood that Qi Xue was concerned about him, but he didn't really need her to be so fussy about him. He knew his body well.
"I'm fine."
Qi Xue shook her head and then turned around.
Watching Qi Xue's back, Qi Kan Tian said, "You should also sleep and rest more, Qi Xue. The matter of the Imperial Palace is not very busy lately."
Qi Xue's body trembled and she nodded before she walked away.
The death of his older brother caused irreversible damage for both him and Qi Xue. Because both of them cared for him very much.
The competitiveness of the Imperial Family was not very strong in Qi Xi Kingdom. The brothers were usually working together and they would do that a lot in order to make the kingdom better.
When one of them finally rose to the throne, the others would retreat.
Some of them would still be used by their brother.
While the others were forgotten and couldn't be used because of some reasons.
But the relationship between the family members were usually not that bad. The bloody battles between siblings were not that common in Qi Xi Kingdom.
It was in other kingdoms that would have a lot of problems.
Qi Kan Tian and his older brother were born from the same mother and the two of them were close to each other. They grew up together and Qi Kan Tian always knew that his older brother would become the emperor, so he didn't have much thought for this seat.
Even if he received enough education to allow him to sit on the throne too, it would normally not happen as long as his older brother could grow up smoothly.
He was only 13 or so years old that year. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
