Gu Youyou paused for a moment.
The Emperor smiled bitterly and explained, "Father, and the generation of Imperial Grandfather, they all had many brothers, but when it came to fighting for the throne, it was brother against brother, resulting in the untimely deaths of their brothers. In the end, only they were left, becoming solitary figures.
I, I also have brothers, two older brothers. Fortunately, we did not fight over this throne. But the outcome is still the same; Second Brother is nowhere to be found, and Eldest Brother is about to leave. You all have gone, and once again, I am the only one left in Beijing!"
Gu Youyou was somewhat surprised, not having known much about the Emperor back when he was Prince Qin.
