Tong Li frowned tightly and stared at the silent Jun Xu
‘Princess… Are you really trying to get yourself killed?’
‘I said, if the marshal wants your brother’s life, he will have to step over my corpse.’ Jun Xu’s brows were faint. ‘If the marshal will not pursue Tong Li’s mistakes from now on, I will immediately give up my sword and surrender, I will never go back on my word.’
“Your Highness, we are your people, you are now killing your own countrymen.’
‘I had no choice.‘
’Your Highness, don’t be stubborn!‘
Jun Xu gently lowered his head, a few strands of hair circling his face
’If the marshal hadn’t interfered, this wouldn’t have happened.‘
’Your Highness, the Qin state stipulates that no one in the army can be related by marriage to any member of the royal family except the emperor! You know that!’
A hint of sadness could be seen in Junxu’s face
‘I know… So what? Many things will not change just because you know. When love is deep, even if there is a sea of flames and a bottomless abyss ahead, it is difficult to turn back. Marshal Tong, there is no need to say more. Junxu has no intention of living today, except… Tong Li, you must survive!’
“Then I’m sorry!’
