* Danji's POV

"Really?" I asked standing up. Ruyi had just brought information to me. Genji was now married to Fengwu.

"My lady, I hope you are no longer holding hope in getting back with the Duke. His sister has just died at your sword. At this point, there is no turning back." Ruyi said

She was right. Chyou had killed herself while I was holding her hostage. Chaoxing would never forgive me. In this life, there is no where I would be able to win his heart.

"You are right. But if I can't have him, then no one will." I said.

My son was back with me. That is all that mattered. No one will ever be able to take Ziyou away from me. Ziyou. Freedom. What his father had desired the most. Chaoxing gave it to him. Yes. I don't want my son to end up like Honghui. In this life, he must be free. The throne would be a burden for me. But I would leave that choice to him when he grows up. If he doesn't want to rule, I would hand over the two states to Liang.
