I hoped to give her some strength to calm her down, and I received a slight nod in response from the other party.
Her gaze remained fixed firmly on Wei Changxuan, her tone carrying a complex emotion.
Her eyes shone with a mixture of understanding and helplessness. "Wei Changxuan, I understand your predicament."
She spoke slowly, each word seemingly imbued with profound emotion.
"If Emperor Yuanjing was truly controlled by the Witch God Cult, then his actions would no longer conform to the glory and original intentions of the royal family."
His decisions have been chilling. Killing him was actually for the safety of the entire Great Feng Dynasty.
From a broader perspective, I understand you.
Although her tone was calm, her heart was churning like a stormy sea.
Princess Huaiqing's words brought a slight sense of relief to Wei Changxuan, and his tense mood seemed to ease for a moment.
He knew that Princess Huaiqing was always so rational and calm.
Even when faced with such a thorny problem, one can see it with the clearest vision.
Nevertheless, a trace of guilt still lingered deep in Wei Changxuan's heart.
After all, that life belonged to the emperor, someone he had sworn to serve.
“Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin’an, I understand how difficult this is for you to accept.”
However... I hope you two can understand that everything I did was not out of personal grudges or selfishness.
It is for the sake of this land beneath our feet—for the future of the Great Feng Kingdom.
At this point, his voice became somewhat choked up, revealing the unique hardship and pain of someone shouldering a heavy responsibility.
Princess Lin'an, who had been listening silently to everything, finally raised her head after hearing these explanations.
The tears in her eyes were still wet, but after the internal struggle she had just gone through,
This gentle yet resilient woman has gradually regained her composure.
Looking through her blurry, tear-filled eyes, her expression seemed less sorrowful.
There's a greater sense of resignation to the inability to change the status quo.
And the determination to maintain hope in the face of possible changes in the future...
She spoke softly, her voice filled with undisguised sorrow:
"Wei Changxuan, I know that everything you have done is for the Great Feng, for our entire country."
But... Father is, after all, our closest relative, no matter what decisions he has made in the past.
His departure is an indescribable and unforgettable pain for us (Li Li's).
Princess Huaiqing slowly closed her eyes, as if trying to temporarily put aside the facts she didn't want to face.
She then sighed softly, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze held not only helplessness but also a hint of determination.
"Lin'an, the departure of our father has truly caused us immense grief."
But no matter how unwilling we are to accept this fact, we must bravely stand up and face this cruel reality.
After all, as children of the Great Feng Dynasty, they bear an inescapable responsibility.
She paused, as if searching for more suitable words to express her deepest feelings.
"I know this is not easy for anyone, especially for you who copied it."
But we cannot let personal feelings cloud our sense of responsibility to the nation…
Chapter 118 The support of Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an!
Princess Lin'an remained silent for a moment, her gaze falling on the Imperial Garden not far away, a place where she and her father used to admire flowers together.
Now that things have changed and people are no longer the same, she can't help but feel a sense of melancholy.
Finally, she sighed softly, nodded slowly, and said in an almost inaudible voice:
“Huaiqing, you’re right. If Father Emperor is watching from heaven, he would surely want us to protect the Great Feng.”
Although the voice was faint, it contained a firm strength.
Princess Huaiqing's eyes revealed a hint of tenderness and pity as she gently patted Princess Lin'an's hand.
It's as if they wanted to convey warmth and support.
Then, she turned to Wei Changxuan, her gaze gradually shifting from initial complexity to a faint sense of relief.
“Wei Changxuan,” she said, “no matter what happened in the past, now that the truth is clear, we choose to let it go.”
The matter of Emperor Yuanjing will no longer be mentioned. The future is long, and from now on, I hope we can work together for the prosperity and peace of this land.
As soon as he finished speaking, an unprecedented atmosphere of harmony seemed to fill the room.
Upon hearing Princess Huaiqing's words, Wei Changxuan's heart tightened suddenly, only to be enveloped in a warm feeling.
He felt a huge burden lifted from his shoulders, and at the same time, he felt a sense of responsibility and mission he had never felt before.
After taking a deep breath, Wei Changxuan solemnly nodded to the two princesses and said in a firm and resonant voice:
"Princess Chang and Princess Lin'an, thank you both for your magnanimity."
Here, I, Wei Changxuan, solemnly swear: I will dedicate my entire life to protecting the Great Feng.
Committed to building a new era where people can live and work in peace and contentment!
These words not only expressed personal determination but also carried a beautiful vision for the future.
Princess Huaiqing's face blossomed into a bright smile, a smile that stemmed from heartfelt approval and agreement.
A fleeting glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Like the brightest star in the night sky. "Wei Changxuan," she said gently.
“We can see your sincerity, and we are willing to give you our utmost trust and support.”
At this moment, Princess Lin'an, who had previously looked somewhat fragile, raised her head slightly, her gaze becoming much more resolute.
(bhei) "Young Master Wei," her tone became clear and firm, "please go forward with confidence. Whether it's windy or sunny, we will always be your strongest support."
His words were full of confidence and courage, foreshadowing that the days to come, though uncertain,
But the trust and understanding between the three will be as solid as a rock.
Wei Changxuan's gaze slowly swept over the two princesses before him, a deep sense of responsibility welling up in his heart.
He knew that in the land of Dafeng, force alone was far from enough; equally crucial was gaining the support and unity of the royal family.
This recognition is like a golden key that can unlock the chains leading to a bright future.
At this moment, he clearly realized that the reconciliation between Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an was of extraordinary significance for consolidating the foundation of the Great Feng Dynasty—it was not merely a superficial peaceful coexistence.
It also symbolizes the convergence of two forces, facing unknown challenges together and working hand in hand for a brighter tomorrow.
Then, Princess Huaiqing gently turned around and turned her gaze to the crowd of people eagerly waiting below the city gate.
Her eyes flickered with complex emotions, a mixture of nostalgia and reluctance for the past, and boundless anticipation for the future.
As she opened her mouth to speak, a faint mist of sorrow seemed to rise in the air, and this emotion slowly spread outward with each word she uttered.
"Look, what we are standing on is our very foundation."
Every brick and stone bears the weight of countless days and nights of sweat and tears…
His words were full of gentleness, yet also revealed a hint of determination.
Chapter 119 The New Nation!
The Great Feng Kingdom has endured countless trials and tribulations, from war and foreign invasion to frequent internal strife. The people of this land have almost lost all hope.
However, just when everyone was disheartened, a glimmer of hope finally appeared—the new Grand Chancellor of the Great Feng Dynasty, Wei Changxuan, would take over the heavy responsibility and begin a new chapter in history.
"This long-suffering nation has now reached a turning point."
The speaker was a highly respected senior official, who slowly raised the scepter, a symbol of power.
It was handed to the young, yet dashing, newly rich man in front of him.
"Prime Minister Wei, the path to the great cause of revival is now entrusted to you."
Feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Wei Changxuan showed no sign of backing down.
Instead, his eyes became even more bright and piercing.
He gripped the scepter tightly, his tone as firm and unwavering as a rock:
"Your Highnesses, Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an, please put your minds at ease."
I will do my utmost and will never let down everyone's trust and expectations!
Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed in the eyes of the usually gentle Princess Lin'an.
Then she sighed softly. Her voice was so low it was almost a whisper:
"Alas... Young Master Wei, I hope you will always remember the promise you made under this sky today."
The future of the entire empire rests on your shoulders now.
Faced with such solemn yet somewhat melancholic words, Wei Changxuan nodded earnestly once again.
And replied in a very serious manner:
"Please rest assured, Princess Lin'an, I will always keep your words in mind."
Princess Huaiqing, who had been silently observing everything, suddenly broke into a smile.
It is like the first flower to bloom in spring after the ice and snow have melted, bringing warmth and hope.
“Come on, Lin’an,” she said gently, reaching out her right hand to grasp her younger sister’s slightly cold hand.
We can now rest assured and entrust all matters to Lord Wei. After all, he's a man of his word.
Upon hearing this, Lin'an was slightly taken aback, but then a relaxed and relieved smile appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the two sisters left the witness side by side.
On the city wall, in the heart of a city that has witnessed countless glories and hardships, stands a solitary yet resolute figure gazing at the distant horizon.
Wei Changxuan looked quietly at the two princesses before him, his gaze filled with both determination and tenderness.
