The Blind Maiden
45. A Little Past

Ling Yi carried Su Qionglin until he was not willing to let go, the vice general Ling Yi who saw this only shook his head.

It seemed, what Ling Yi said no to, was what she wanted, how shocking it was that there were people living such a miserable life.

But, nor could he say that it was wrong, out of the 17 Emperor's brothers and sisters, only himself survived.

While others have died from being removed and also from dying from disease.

The throne occupied by the current Emperor was too full of blood, both the blood of his parents and the blood of his family and brother.

Of course to survive in such an environment then what does it want to hide, too long life is full of such falsehoods, who would not get used to the lies ?

Even oneself started to forget about oneself, that was what happened to Ling Yi at this moment. He was the only surviving brother of the Emperor.

He was the only survivor of the 17 dead, he had to defend his life as hard as he could at the start.

But, at this moment, he had already started to build up his own strength. He had already started to control the situation, but was he able to return to what he used to be ?

Of course not, this was the thing that Ling Yi had to pay for and would never return again.

People said that youth was the most precious time, but not for Ling Yi.

In his youth, people said that he fared badly for causing the deaths of his parents not long since he was born.

Seeing that he was only 1 year old, the Emperor was unwilling to let go and did not consider him a threat.

After all, an uneducated baby, can it be a particular threat ? Since childhood, Ling Yi became the caretaker of incense and many other things.

Insults after insults were given even by the lowest servants, did Emperor Ling care about that ? Of course not.

Letting go of his life was different from taking care of him, Emperor Ling knew of this but did not care at all.

During those years, for 10 years, Ling Yi endured the pressure of the Palace people. When said by someone, what was his dream, his only dream, he said to go into a military camp and live on the border.

Everyone thought of him as stupid because he wanted to trouble himself by staying at the border, Emperor Ling saw that this half-brother was stupid and uneducated.

Therefore he allowed himself to be a savior for once and threw him into the southern border filled with hot desert every year.

Ling Yi in the Military Camp was not easy either, everyone underestimated him and considered him a disposed man.

Ling Yi struggled everything by himself, ranging from a lowly subordinate to a patrol chief, before finally starting to slowly increase the land.

This position that he had obtained, was not at all easy, it was built by the mountain of corpses of the enemies and the soldiers that were beneath him.

So, it was no wonder that there was a hint of strangeness in Ling Yi's attitude since ordinary humans would not be able to survive under that extreme pressure.
