The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 71 The One Who Can Read His Fate
When Ji Mie left, Qin Ruojiu did not look at her at all anymore and simply shed her tears on her bed.
This was the first time the father who had lived with him for decades had left him so cruelly. The affection and warmth he felt back then had all turned into emptiness.
Right, from now on, the father who became his last hope was no longer able to hope. His father told him to enter the palace and use his life for the prosperity of all his countrymen, for the life of his brother, Tu Yang. She was just a weak woman, but right now she had to endure all that for the peace of the people of the country.
Big brother Tu Yang is the most talented mage of the current mage tribe. Her father informed her, one year later her brother would bequeath her status as the High Priest of the Witch and at that time perhaps her brother was one of the people who could read the fate of her life later on.
In his memories, it was 10-year-old Brother Tu Yang. He appeared in his green robe on the doorstep of their house. The flowers in front of their house were all blooming. He looked like a child abandoned by his parents and stood scowling at their doorstep. His eyes looked so innocent but he seemed to understand his life.
Qin Ruojiu climbed up the window of his house and peeked at the older brother 2 years older than him. Qin Ruojiu was eager to go straight out and play with that very lonely looking older brother. Because from the eyes of the older brother, he looks very lonely.
The wind blew quite hard that day, the flowers in front of their house fell and fell on the ground. His father also took Brother Tu Yang in front of him. Her brother's long, straight and black hair was blown by the wind. Her brother's eyeballs were very black and round. Then she gave a warm and gentle smile.
Although at that time he was a child, but he could feel the charisma of his brother and until now he still has not forgotten it.
Her father told her that Big Brother Tu Yang's parents had died and that Father would take her to the ancestral hall and ask their ancestors for permission to take care of her.
She remembers that day her father made an exception and let her play all day with her brother . His father said, Maybe this is his last childhood memory, so he should play with joy.
At that moment, he and Tu Yang did not know the meaning of his father's words, but they also played with joy.
Perhaps, it was the first time Qin Ruojiu had played with children his age, perhaps his father also knew that this time was the last time he could play like this with them. So that they passed the day with joy.
He still remembers, when Tu Yang was taken away by his father, he once swore, “Adik Jiu’Er, I will definitely be able to read your fate in the future. You should wait for me.”
However, it had already been 10 years and Tu Yang still had not returned either. The words her brother spoke as a child still often echoed clearly in her ears when she was dreaming in the middle of the night.
He and Tu Yang had only played together for one day, but their innocent and impeccable relationship kept him confident and had not given up until now.
Today after hearing her father bring up her brother, the image of her brother standing at the door of their house sprang back into her mind. All of that still seemed so clear in his memory.
“Empress, Empress, you are fine ...” Lu’Er who just walked in was surprised to see Qin Ruojiu who was crying. Qin Ruojiu tried to hold back her crying voice but her tears kept flowing out of her eyes. Lu’Er also felt sad to see the Empress who suffered all this time.
Seeing Lu’Er coming in, Qin Ruojiu lowered her head and wiped her tears and said, “I'm fine.”
