Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower-Chapter 1184 Yu Zheng Xi’s Past (2)
But his attempt cost his mother's life.
It was extremely painful and bloody.
The situation in Wei Da Kingdom was unstable with various infighting and also countless battles outside.
That battle for the throne involved him.
Yu Zheng Xi had to participate even if he didn't want to. He hoped that he would be able to protect his mother and aimed for power.
But he failed miserably.
He was not suitable to be an Emperor and all.
From his defeat and so on, he was angry and frustrated.
At the same time, Yu Zheng Xi knew how ridiculous it was for him to challenge the entire Imperial Family. He could only kill those who hurt his mother and involved in this matter. After he was done, he left the Capital City and was pursued by a lot of soldiers because of his background and his deeds.
The other Imperial Family members couldn't wait to go after him and make sure that his entire body was dismembered.
They wanted his life.
Many times, Yu Zheng Xi's life was put on the line for the sake of survival. One person against an entire army was a very unfair battle.
But Yu Zheng Xi wanted to live.
No matter how difficult it was, no matter how many people wanted his life, he kept on moving forward, doing whatever he could to preserve his life.
There were some thoughts to kill his half imperial brothers who made his life miserable.
But the other thoughts told him how impossible it would be.
He was thankful that he was taught medical knowledge by his mother, which allowed him to survive back then. Without his medical knowledge, he would have long died because of blood loss.
It was tragic.
And Yu Zheng Xi himself knew how much his half imperial brother wanted to kill him.
Because their similar appearance had already told others that he was also a person of the Imperial Family and qualified for the throne. It was because of this face that Yu Zheng Xi suffered a lot.
Many times, he wanted to cut his own face to make it unrecognizable.
But whenever he looked at his appearance on the river, he would be reminded of his mother and her words.
He couldn't do it.
After time passed, Yu Zheng Xi was no longer interested in that seat. He didn't want to be put in the cusp of storm for the sake of power. He just wanted to live the rest of his life peacefully in accordance to what he could do.
It was just other people would never believe him so easily.
So all Yu Zheng Xi could do was to escape as far away as possible.
Meeting Traveling Doctor Liu back then was a miracle and Yu Zheng Xi treasured it very much. Thanks to Traveling Doctor Liu, he experienced many things in his life and felt that life was not as dark as he first thought.
At first, he did think of borrowing Traveling Doctor Liu's influence to take his revenge. But in the end, he put it down.
He had killed those who offended him personally.
The rest was crazy people who was afraid of losing their power.
Rather than rushing to kill them, he better stay hidden and remained a stubble in the other party's mind.
Yu Zheng Xi slowly got used to stay beside Traveling Doctor Liu. This way, he didn't need to constantly hide and just need to do what he was good at, learning and practicing martial arts.
It was just…
His time was completely used to hide and learning, completely forgetting about many other things in life.
Now, he's old.
Yu Zheng Xi took out the wine that he had brought with him and poured it on top of the memorial stone that belonged to his father.
He hated his father.
Hated him for what he did to his mother and himself.
But at the same time, it was this person who had taught him many things that allowed him to survive for so many years when he was out there.
When he ran out of the palace, he was only 22 years old.
At that age, he might be already an adult, but he was still clueless about many things about the world. It was his father's words that became the reminder for him to always be cautious and eventually survived before he met Traveling Doctor Liu and finally became who he is right now.
Nan Hua watched from the side.
She had read about her fifth senior brother's life experience, but it was all just written in words. It would be impossible for her to fully understand what her fifth senior brother had truly experienced in the past.
"Are you going to fight for Wei Da Kingdom?" Nan Hua asked, her tone was slow.
Yu Zheng Xi looked at Nan Hua. The look in her eyes had told him everything that he needed to know.
She wanted Fei Yang Kingdom to be the final winner in this large game of power.
He laughed lightly.
"No." Yu Zheng Xi looked at the memorials in front of him. "Even if I was born in a noble position, that kind of life didn't suit me at all. Rather than returning, I would rather watch as it is getting destroyed."
He had seen what his nephew, Prince Wei Da Fan, did.
And he had to say that if it was him, he might have done worse than just opening the gate.
But well, he no longer wanted to keep this identity as the prince of Wei Da Kingdom.
For so many years, he wanted to throw this identity away.
Now that Wei Da Kingdom is no more, Yu Zheng Xi could finally say that he had become free. No one knew about his existences after he was missing for nearly 3 decades. All that left was the record that the previous emperor had an illegitimate child who went missing for so many years ago.
