The late emperor asked him twice whether he wanted the throne.
He turned it down both times.
He said, “Seeing her take that seat makes me happier than sitting on it myself.”
Later, he knelt before all the officials, his forehead pressed to the ground a little harder than anyone else’s.
As if he were reminding me, and himself, too.
But the late emperor said, “That is nothing but a chair of desire that devours the human heart.
Sooner or later, she will kill you.”
He said, “If that day really comes, I’ll accept it.”
I am the empress.
He is the regent.
He should have been the emperor.
He willingly bows his head and pledges his allegiance to me.
But to this day, I still don’t know whose life that chair will claim in the end.
