Chapter 2242: Qi Kan Tian and Qi Xue
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."
But in the end, none of the dreams could be realized.
He fell first.
Leaving him and Qi Xue alone in this world.
Both him and his older brother were disciples of Traveling Doctor Liu. The two of them were having fun with Traveling Doctor Liu, learning many things and so on. They also met with the other disciples and interacted with them.
It was a fun time.
The time when he didn't have to think about anything but studying and playing with his brother and others.
But the fun times didn't last long.
Qi Xi Kingdom's ambition was slowly revealed and other kingdoms couldn't tolerate their existence. It was also because of this that the joint war started...
Qi Kan Tian took a deep breath.
He couldn't help but remember his older brother and his father whenever it was near spring. Coupled with the talk of the war that was very frequent recently, Qi Kan Tian knew that it was impossible for him to forget about it.
The ministers would not let him rest without giving them answer.
"Perhaps, if you're the one who's here, you can do a better job, Brother," Qi Kan Tian
murmured in a low voice.
His older brother had a bigger dream and also had a lot of things that he wanted to do for Qi Xi Kingdom. His innovative ideas and also his way of treating the subordinate made him very
popular.
But fate was truly unkind.
It was such a person who had to shoulder everything of Qi Xi Kingdom and eventually had to die for the kingdom.
"Sometimes, I wonder whether it's truly worth it, Brother," Qi Kan Tian said in a low voice. His heart was filled with pain and he closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress the feelings in
his heart.
