Reason

In Heaven Dou Lake, Xin and Xue Qinghe were sitting on a small boat, each holding a fishing rod, and were fishing leisurely.

Not far away, the same small boats docked nearby, faintly forming an encirclement. These people were all the escorts of Xue Qinghe to protect his safety.

Xue Qinghe's fishing rod lightly pickled, and a small yellow croaker came out of the water and was caught.

"Your Highness Xue, you seem lucky today. Not like me, I haven't gotten one yet. But you on the other hand already have few!" Xin smiled lightly, watching the motionless floats on the water.

"Hahaha, Mr. Xin fishing still requires patience." Xue Qinghe smiled.

"Of course, you also need a perfect bait," She added.

"But… I'm too lazy to move my hand to put some bait, maybe there's a lazy fish around here and I will successfully catch it."

'Lazy fish! You are just too lazy to move,' Xue Qinghe inward said, fr couple of times she asked Xin to go fishing, she never saw him putting bait at all, of course, he never caught fish at all.

"By the way, Mr. Xin, can you continue your story?"

"Are you really interested in it?"

"Yes, I have never heard an interesting story like that one."

Xin calmly gazed at her making Xue Qinghe slightly freeze in place, she felt that Xin's eyes could see the depth of her.

"Mr. Xin, i just want to know the end, after all, every good story should have a good ensign right? Why don't you tell me what happened to the incognito saint who entered the hostile force and became the prince? Did you get the throne? That mysterious soul Dian, have you successfully unified the mainland?"

"You're right." Xin while gazing back into his rod.

"What else can he do? She failed, she failed miserably after encountering a certain man that will leave a mark on her heart."

"It's a pity, the prince's hidden layout for more than ten years has failed."

"Is it because of that certain man that's why she fails?"

"Not all, of course, there are too many things here."

"The prince actually shouldn't have targeted the emperor in the first place."

"Not against the emperor!?"

"Yes, you don't know. In fact, the emperor is already dying. But he trusts the prince very much and even entrusts him with heavy responsibility. If the relationship is used well, it's clear that the Emperor favors the princes, right?"

"That's right," Xue Qinghe nodded.

"Then why kill the Emperor if you can get it from the hand of the Emperor itself, the Throne? Why not let everything go as it is and continue being a good son?"

"Then if he did not kill the Emperor, then he is still the one who will inherit the Throne?"

"Of course, after all, he favored by Emperor, but still, he need to look around and watch for huge factor that can change the Emperor's decision."

".... The Second Prince?"

"He should continue to suppress the second prince. The second prince is the last prince. As long as this person is gone or out of the picture, there will be no rivals, the throne is surely for him."

"But the Second Prince is a fool, a huge womanizer and a parasite in the palace."

"You're wrong, even the Second Princes is a fool, the Emperor will not let him continue this, he will surely find a way to help the Second princes, maybe not for the throne but to be a whetstone for both of them."

"After all, no Emperor wants his heir to be a soft-hearted person, he must be courageous."

"If he can't even clean his own house, how can he clean the whole world?"

Xie Qinghe was stunned and felt that she awakened the man in his dream.

She did not expect that from the very first start, the Emperor already choosing from both of them, what only he was waiting for is the sigh, a sigh that the Empire will not go to land on the hand of the wrong person.

After a long while, Xie Qinghe let out a long breath. She couldn't even believe it. The problem that has been bothering her is solved in this way.

Although, the more she looks at it, the more she feels that Xin has become unpredictable.

However, Xie Qinghe has gained tremendous benefits and will even change the pattern of the world.

"Can I ask you something Mr Xin?"

"Sure, what is it? No need to be formal."

"Can I know what your dream is?"

"To die."

"..... Pardon?"

"I want to die."

After a couple of seconds of silence, Xie Qinghe asked.

"Why?"

"Simple, I live so many years, I get many things I want to get, I achieve everything that a man can achieve but in the end, I feel empty."

"You see, if you found a day that you felt content from what you experience, achievement, and the life you choose to live, you will feel empty."

"And right now, i feel empty, being lazy is not that i want to be lazy but because i don't have anything to do at all,"

"Is that why you open a store giving treasures that you accumulate from those years?"

"As for that, well let's say that someone pushes me to open a shop and sell ridiculous things, of course, i can refuse but i can't, the consequence is disastrous,"

"What consequences?"

"I will keep alive."

"..."

Xie Qinghe felt that what Xin told her is true on his one, but form what she observe, it seems Xin start to found a new source of light to continue living, she can see it even though he did not notice it.

'Maybe he doesn't know that the people around him are changing his negative feelings to more exciting and positive things.' She thought.
