?Chapter 311: Emperor Yongshun, Princess Yongle [1 update] Chapter 311: Emperor Yongshun, Princess Yongle [1 update] If one’s life could be exchanged for the safety of a city’s people, then what harm would there be in dying a thousand, ten thousand times?
Xiang Chen suddenly recalled something his Imperial Elder Sister had once said—
“A monarch who cannot protect his subjects is unworthy of the title.”
To be a ruler, is to nurture all under heaven.
To be a king, is to aid the whole world.
These were the very duties of a monarch.
Suddenly, Xiang Chen drew his sword, to the great alarm of the few remaining old ministers, who one after another chased after him.
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, you must not!”
“Your Majesty, you are of inestimable value, the True Dragon Emperor, you simply cannot belittle your own life like this because of their words!”
“In the face of death, all beings are equal; where comes the notion of an emperor’s status?” Xiang Chen said calmly, “Years ago, my Imperial Elder Sister, despite her frail health, personally tasted medicines to save the people from fire and flood. What is my life compared to that?”
This statement stunned the few old ministers who had rushed out.
By invoking Princess Yongning, the old ministers fell silent.
“If the Imperial Elder Sister were still here, I wouldn’t be fit to sit upon this throne,” Xiang Chen walked step by step toward the highest tower, “Aunt pushed me up here; how could I let them down?”
“Your Majesty!”
The old ministers were still chasing, trying to stop him, yet not knowing how.
Ye Wanlan slowly closed her eyes, her fingers clasped tightly into fists.
What did the history books record?
—Emperor Yongshun hung himself to protect his subjects.
These nine simple words, the shock they delivered to her, was far more than just the moment she saw them.
Xiang Chen and Princess Yongle were the youngest of their generation.
