The queen did not answer his words, but kept crying silently.

The old Imperial Master was also crying. While crying, he took the little princess's hand and brought her to him.

The old Imperial Master was still kneeling at the same height as the little princess.

He lovingly touched the little princess's face, cried and began to confess.

"Master is sorry for you, Master is useless..."

The little princess couldn't understand what the old Imperial Preceptor was saying, but she didn't cry or make a fuss. She still asked sensibly: "Why are the Queen Mother and the Imperial Preceptor crying? Are they afraid that the city will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed?"

"It's not that the Imperial Master is useless, it's that Jing'er is useless."

"If Jing'er were stronger, she would never hide here and ignore the safety of the people."

The more the little princess said this, the harder the queen and the imperial master cried.

But now is not the time to weep silently. The situation outside is critical and there is no room for further delay.

Now that he had made his choice, the old master gritted his teeth, suddenly picked up the little princess and walked towards the furnace.

The furnace is huge, and if you get too close, the heat will be unbearable.

The old master held the little princess in his arms and climbed up the stairs resolutely. He stood above the furnace and let the flames scorch the corners of his clothes.

No matter how sensible the little princess is, she is still just an eight-year-old child.

Although he is braver and more mature than his peers, he is also aware of fear and fear.

Only now did she realize that something was wrong. She looked at the raging flames and molten lava below. She clutched the Imperial Master's clothes and asked him in fear: "Master, what are you going to do?"

The moment the old master picked up the little princess, he had no intention of surviving on his own.

If he could replace it, he would jump down without hesitation and forge a divine sword to sweep away demons and protect the country's peace.

Unfortunately, the divine sword needs the blood of the king to take shape.

and so……

"Don't be afraid, princess. Master is here and Master will always be with you."

The old master did not answer her, but patted the little princess on the back to comfort her.

But the little princess didn't listen and started to struggle.

She looked at the queen who was protecting her younger brother not far away, and shouted in confusion: "Queen Mother! What is the Queen Mother doing?"

"It's so hot here, so hot! Jing'er is scared!"

"Mother, Master! Jing'er wants to go down! Let me go down!"

The little princess shouted, her voice was already crying.

When the little prince saw this, he was so frightened that he started to cry. He tugged at the corner of the queen's clothes and begged his sister to come down.

After he finished speaking, when his mother didn't move, he thought about rushing over and pulling his sister down.

But the queen grabbed him and changed her usual gentle look. She glared at him fiercely and said, "Stop!"

"If you go over there, I'll throw you down!"

"Anyway, you and your sister can only live together! It's up to you!"

The queen must have been partial to her son in her private heart, but at this moment, she couldn't face the fact that her own daughter was thrown into the furnace as a living sacrifice, so she was emotionally broken.

It was the first time for the little prince to see his mother like this, and when he heard what she said, he was frightened for a while.

He looked up with tears in his eyes and looked at his sister, who usually loved him very much, on the high platform, but he didn't dare to take even half a step forward.

The little princess also heard what the queen said, and finally understood what the situation was.

She knew about the sword in Sword Furnace, and the old Imperial Master once told her with a smile.

He said that if this sword was forged and the princess took it, she would be able to kill everyone and bring peace and prosperity to Rong's country.

The little princess was very happy when she heard that. She just waited and waited, but she didn't wait for the divine sword to be born, but she waited for herself to be sacrificed.

She was puzzled, she questioned, and she asked the queen and the imperial advisor.

"Why was I sacrificed? Just because I am a daughter? But I am obviously stronger."

"This sword will be most effective if it is in my hands! What can it do in Bai Zhiyi's hands!?"

"..."

The queen did not answer, and the old imperial master remained silent.

They all knew this fact, but they still chose to sacrifice her.

The little princess was unwilling to give in and kept struggling against the old master.

No child would face life and death calmly. After her understanding, kindness, and hard work could not be exchanged for any equal treatment, she started to yell and make a fuss.

The old Imperial Master couldn't let her break free, so he sadly said sorry for the last time, hugged the little princess tightly and jumped down together.

"what!!!"

The cry was made by two children at the same time.

One was burning with hot flames, wailing in pain.

One was a child who witnessed this scene and collapsed in fear.

-

The old master jumped into the furnace with the little princess in his arms, and they were all burned to the point of being burned to the point of leaving no bones.

The old master's body died and his soul came out, and he went to the underworld to bear the sins he had committed.

The soul of the little princess was integrated into the sword body and was bound by the sword.

In an instant, the sword furnace burst into flames, illuminating the entire Rongguo Imperial City.

It spontaneously flew to the side of the monarch who was resisting evil spirits, helping him defeat the enemy and saving the lives of countless people in the country.

However, this sword defeated the master, and the king of Rong Li died in the imperial city not long after.

Then some time passed, and the queen followed him.

When the youngest son succeeded to the throne, the sword was naturally passed to the little prince's hands.

Fortunately, the young emperor was not affected by the sword's backlash and lived to adulthood peacefully.

But no one knew that although Bai Zhiyi was alive, he was suffering from heartache day and night.

Because his sister turned into a sword spirit, maintaining the same form as the year she died, and would appear next to Bai Zhiyi every day and night.

She was laughing and playing around, completely losing the sense and kindness she once had.

She took advantage of others not being able to see her and often teased people in the imperial city.

Once Bai Zhiyi scolds her, she will smile and say to Bai Zhiyi: "If you don't like it, just throw me into the furnace again~"

"It doesn't matter. You watched it helplessly back then! What's the harm in watching it again?"

"..."

Bai Zhiyi naturally felt guilty for her, and what happened back then had always been a shadow in his heart.

Although the choice was not his, he survived after all, so he was guilty.

In desperation, Bai Zhiyi had no choice but to continue to indulge her mischief.

Later, when Bai Zhiyi got married, he got married.

He also met a girl who was very compatible with him among the many women who were selected into the palace.

The girl is well-educated and very considerate.

She knew that Rong Li almost lost his country back then, but it was the appearance of a magic weapon that helped the king win the battle.

After the war, Rong Li gained a magical weapon against foreign enemies, but lost a cute little princess and a highly respected old national teacher.

Although the palace announced to the outside world that both the princess and the old imperial master died of illness.

The old Imperial Master is old, but it still makes sense.

But the little princess was the proud disciple of the old Imperial Master back then. She was a good swordsman at a young age. How could she suddenly die of illness due to poor health?

The world is puzzled, but the world doesn’t dare to ask any more questions.

The little princess turned into a sword spirit and often made trouble in the palace, clearly trying to make things difficult for Bai Zhiyi.

Now that Bai Zhiyi has a girl he likes, how could he possibly get his wish?

Bai Zhiyi also knew that she would definitely have trouble with him, and he specifically warned her not to do anything detrimental to the girl.

When the little princess heard this, she not only didn't take it seriously, but actually laughed even more.

Bai Zhiyi had been focusing on managing state affairs without any desire or pursuit, which made her feel very boring.

Now that he finally sees someone he cares about, isn't the fun coming?

On the night when the girl entered the palace, she went to her palace to "visit" her.

When the girl first saw her, she was relatively calm.

Later, when I saw her smiling and saying that she wanted to give a gift to her future sister-in-law, and then reaching out to pluck out her own eyeballs and hand them to her, I felt bad all over.

At that moment, the girl finally understood what Bai Zhiyi meant when he said, "Being with him requires you to endure things that ordinary people cannot bear."

Although Bai Zhiyi repeatedly assured her that the little princess was only targeting him and would never hurt others.

The girl still said she couldn't bear it, and for the sake of her own life, she resolutely asked to leave.

Bai Zhiyi would not force her, so he agreed to her request and watched the girl leave the imperial city.

The little princess was sitting on the city wall, dangling her legs happily.

Bai Zhiyi asked the girl quietly after seeing her walk out of the last palace gate.

"So...are you happy?"

The little princess shook her head: "It's early, my dear brother."

"My father and mother are both dead, and you are my only relative."

"Don't worry, I won't let you die. I just want you to taste what it feels like to be abandoned by everyone."

……

The little princess's name was Bai Shujing. She was doted on by her father, the emperor and her empress, and was loved by the old imperial master.

She clearly remembered how kind and kind each of them were, and how good they were.

That's why she was sensible, and she never thought about anything else.

And even though he knew that his younger brother was more favored, he didn't think it was okay.

After all, when he grows up, he will assist his younger brother in protecting his family and country.

But when disaster strikes.

The moment she was pushed out by her mother, picked up by the old Imperial Master, and ruthlessly abandoned and thrown into the furnace.

All the good things have been shattered.

She knew that Bai Zhiyi was still young and that all this happening had no direct relationship with him.

But she hated the injustice of fate, and as she said, Bai Zhiyi was now her only relative.

What a person can hurt is often the person closest to him or her.

It's like a child losing his temper for no reason with his parents who love him, but he doesn't dare to be so unscrupulous in front of strangers.

Bai Shujing vented all her hatred and anger on Bai Zhiyi.

She drove away everyone who cared about him, and she made Bai Zhiyi taste loneliness in this huge imperial city.

Rong Li is located in a remote area with a harsh climate, and Bai Zhiyi is a merciless monarch.

Therefore, the development of the country can be imagined.

Later, some monarchs from other countries admired the name of Divine Sword and wanted to get the sword.

He promised Bai Zhiyi that as long as he gave him the divine sword, he would help with the future safety of the Rongli Kingdom and the livelihood of the people.

Bai Zhiyi had heard of that monarch's name and knew that he was a good king who always kept his promises.

Therefore, it is beneficial to the public, the people, and Bai Zhiyi himself to give the sword away.

Moreover, the ministers of the DPRK almost unanimously supported handing over the sword, and kept praising the other party for his good governance of the country. It would definitely be beneficial for Rong Li to rely on him.

At night, Bai Zhiyi stood alone on the city wall.

The little princess came out of the sword and walked beside the city wall near him.

Then he deliberately slipped and fell.

Bai Zhiyi has seen this kind of little tricks too many times, and he is already calm.

The little princess also felt bored, and slowly floated up, sat down next to him, and swayed her little feet.

She knew that Bai Zhiyi was in a bad mood, and she also knew why he was in a bad mood.

So he said: "They are ignorant and think that they can get peace and prosperity by handing me over."

"As everyone knows, the sword spirit recognizes its master. Even if you give me to others, I may not be used by them."

"Are you worried that when the other party discovers that the divine sword is not a divine sword, they will think that they have been deceived? When the time comes, they will lead troops to attack Rong Guo, and the lives of the people will be devastated and the people will be devastated?"

Bai Zhiyi didn't answer her words, he just blew the cold wind. After being silent for a while, he suddenly asked her with a smile.

"Then do you want to be sent out?"

"..."

The little princess didn't expect that Bai Zhiyi would suddenly ask this question, and was stunned for a moment.

She and Bai Zhiyi looked into the distance together, seeing the bright lights in thousands of houses, but none of them belonged to them, and they couldn't help but feel disappointed in their hearts.

All along, she has been trying her best to trip up Bai Zhiyi and make him feel uncomfortable.

While torturing him, he felt temporarily satisfied. But after the joy passed, it was also very sad.

Sometimes she doesn't understand why she has to be like this?

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, it’s better to live in harmony.

But as long as this thought lasts forever, she will remember Bai Zhiyi's fearful look in her eyes when she was sacrificed, and she will fall into an endless loop again.

She felt that since her younger brother was greedy for life and afraid of death, and she could have allowed herself to die back then, why should she be so merciful to her younger brother?

It is rare to speak calmly like tonight.

The little princess will no longer grow physically, but her mind and experience are maturing with Bai Zhiyi's growth.

She has played with Bai Zhiyi for more than ten years, and now she is a little tired.

Then she replied quietly: "I don't want to."

Bai Zhiyi didn't laugh at her because of her rare frankness. He still smiled gently and looked into the distance.

He said it lightly, but with a very firm tone.

"Well, then I won't give it."

"..."

later……

Bai Zhiyi insisted on going his own way and refused to hand over the sword, which angered many people.

The ministers of the DPRK had always felt that Bai Zhiyi was not very good as a monarch.

He is too soft-hearted, has no great ambitions, and his abilities are not very outstanding.

They blamed all the decline of Rong State on Bai Zhiyi, believing that it was all caused by his improper governance.

Nowadays, it is not easy for a powerful country to be willing to support him, but Bai Zhiyi disregards the safety of his people for his own selfish desires.

What qualifications does such a foolish king have to be the king of Rongguo?
