Sakura Rinko, who had been pacing in the shrine courtyard for a long time, finally returned to the main house of the shrine under the persuasion of Nakatomi Kamazu and Asuka.

Nakatomi Kamazu and the others stayed outside the room, continuing to wait for the news from the front, although they knew that it might not be good news, but they did not hear the final result with their own ears, and everyone present could not feel at ease, especially Nakatomi Kamazu, who had made some plans, was even more uneasy.

Serving Sakura Rinko into the main house, Asudaya, at Sakura Rinko's request, closed the two doors inside and outside the main house, isolating the sound of the inside and outside.

When Asukina turned around, Sakura's voice rang out in the quiet room: "Asukina, you should have seen it, Shirou he went to those outsiders' houses again. ”

Hearing this, Asuina immediately knelt down, buried her head deep on the floor, and said to Sakura Rinko in fear: "Your Majesty, I, my brother he, he is actually just a moment of confusion, he ......"

Without waiting for Assuna to continue, Sakura Rinko directly interrupted her and said: "Asukina, my sister, I didn't treat you as an outsider, and even gave you a noble surname, so I also hope that you don't hide anything from me, I said, I hope that our sisters will never betray." ”

Asukina is not a fool, on the contrary, she can be valued by Sakura Rinko, which is enough to show that Asukina's intelligence is a strong woman who does not lose to Sakura Rinko.

And she once secretly helped Sakura Rinko, sneaked out of the village quietly, and secretly contacted Nakazen Kamazu, being able to do these things is enough to prove Tomorrow's courage.

So Sakura Rinko said such a thing, and Asukina already understood. It's no longer possible to hide something for my brother, and Sakura Rinko has already seen her brother's affairs.

Tomorrow Nai is no longer explained. said directly to Sakura Rinko: "Your Majesty, Shirou does admire Lucius very much. And it has reached the point of fanaticism, I tried to persuade him, but he did not listen to me at all, and in his eyes Lecius was even more important than my sister, and our mother. ”

Hearing Asukina tell the truth, Sakura Rinko calmed down instead, and the momentum she had originally released suddenly converged, and she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Staring at Asukina, she said, "My sister, in fact, I know all this. I see it all in my eyes, and I don't think it's any fault for Shirou and his worship of the strong. ”

Speaking of this, Sakura Rinko paused for a moment, and sighed again: "Even I have to admit that Lucius is indeed very strong and talented, if it weren't for the fact that I am the emperor of Fuso Kingdom, I may even marry him." ”

Asukina was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine that Sakura Rinko would say such a thing. And when Asukina raised her head to look, Sakura Rinko's face actually faintly flushed, and it seemed that what she said before should be the truth in her heart.

Seeing Asukina look at herself in surprise. Sakura Rinko adjusted her feelings, reached out and gently stroked her hot face: "You can't say this." ”

Tomorrow Nai instantly came to her senses, and quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please rest assured." I'm never going to say these words, I'm going to rot them all in my stomach. ”

Sakura Rinko sighed. Some said unwillingly: "It's a pity that I am the emperor of Fuso Kingdom." I am on the task of reviving the royal family, and he is a powerful prince from the West, and he is unlikely to yield to me, and I will not marry him, so it is impossible between us after all. ”

Hearing this, Asukina felt a little helpless, because after contact with Sakura Rinko and gradually understanding the affairs of the royal family, Assuna already knew that the condition for a royal woman to become the emperor was that the woman was not allowed to marry for life, and it was impossible for her to have her own heirs.

The reason why the Imperial Family did this was actually to maintain the purity of the Imperial bloodline, not to allow other bloodlines to appear in the middle of the Imperial Family, and to maintain the purity of their bloodline of the descendants of Amaterasu.

It can be said that the moment Sakura Rinko inherited the throne, he was destined to lose a lot of things, those things that were important to a woman.

For Asuka, she doesn't know how to evaluate, and she doesn't have the right to comment on anything, but Asuna feels deep admiration for Sakura Rinko in her heart.

You must know that Sakura Rinko was actually ordered to be in danger, and after her father died for no reason, because there was no prince in the imperial family to succeed to the throne, she was forcibly pushed to the position of the emperor, and she became a pawn in the hands of puppet others from the day she sat in the position of emperor.

Sakura Rinko secretly established her own power under the siege of the Tokugawa family and other daimyos, and those forces in her hands slowly grew.

If Sakura Rinko is given a few more years, I am afraid that she will be able to easily eradicate the Tokugawa family, restore the dominance of the imperial power in Fuso, and maybe even unify the Fuso country.

However, the Tokugawa family did not give her that time, and Tokugawa Iehiko seemed to have forcibly broken through Kyoto, and finally forced Sakurakura Rinko to throw herself into the sea.

Asukina almost didn't dare to imagine how Sakura Rinko was able to withstand great pressure under that kind of persecution, and how she finally escaped from the encirclement of the Tokugawa family, and was able to board a small boat to go to the West.

Now that Sakura Rinko has a chance to make a comeback, she naturally can't let it go, and she must seize what she can use to help her regain the throne and return the country of Fuso to imperial rule.

Amena asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, we deliberately brought those samurai to the village, in case those outsiders don't make a move, or if their strength is not good, I'm afraid that the whole village may suffer, isn't it a little inappropriate to do so, or transfer some of the villagers first?"

Hearing Asukina's words, Sakura Rinko raised her head to look at Asukina, and a hint of chill suddenly appeared in her eyes: "My sister, are you trying to make it clear that those people are a trap we deliberately set?"

Tomorrow Nai suddenly replied in fear: "No, no, Your Majesty." I didn't mean that, I just thought. Sacrificing so many lives in the village......"

Before Asukina finished speaking, Sakura Rinko ruthlessly interrupted her and said, "Asukina." You have to remember that some sacrifices are necessary, and you don't want to have a problem with your plans because of your mercy, right? They can die for my cause, and even after death, they will return to the arms of Amaterasu. ”

Although Asuina still couldn't bear it in her heart, she didn't dare to show it in front of Sakura Rinko, so she could only nod calmly: "Asuina understands." ”

Seeing Asukana's slightly depressed love, Sakura Rinko couldn't help but smile and comfort: "Sister, you shouldn't put your mind on this. You should pay more attention to Shirou and don't let Shirou ruin our plans. ”

Asukina knew very well that Sakura Rinko was reminding herself and a kind of beating to herself, so Asukina said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Assuna will definitely be optimistic about her younger brother, and will never let Shirou ruin your plan, nor let him affect you." ”

Despite saying so, Asuna's heart is full of bitterness. Her relationship with Shirou is getting worse and worse, and Shirou apparently trusts Lecius more and rejects Sakura, who is the emperor.

In the past, the two sisters and brothers almost talked about everything, but now the two sisters and brothers almost don't say a word when they meet. Sometimes after talking a few words together, one party may not be able to control the relationship, and the conversation between the two will instantly turn into a quarrel. Even their mother's presence often couldn't stop the two from arguing.

Every time after an argument, Assuna feels very sad. But he had no way to confide in others, and he didn't dare to be too harsh on his younger brother. She can only bury the bitter water deep in her heart.

Seeing that Asuina calmly promised herself, but there was some bitterness on her face, Sakura Rinko couldn't help but remind again: "Asuna, you have to remember that many times you have to make your heart ruthless, only then can you avoid being hurt in the end." ”

Tomorrow Nai nodded and said: "Tomorrow Nai understands, please rest assured, Tomorrow Nai thanks His Majesty for his kindness to me, it is this kindness, Tomorrow Nai will never betray you." ”

Although she was not satisfied with Asukina's answer, Sakura Rinko didn't say anything, just sighed and asked: "Then you can do it yourself, if you really can't stand it, or when you can't be ruthless, you can come to me, and I will help you solve what you can't bear to do." ”

Sakura's words made Asukina feel a shiver, but in the end she didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

A slight knock on the door sounded, and then the voice of the middle minister's sickle foot came from outside the house: "Your Majesty, the middle minister asks to see, I don't know if it is convenient for Your Majesty to be now?"

Sakura Rinko motioned for Asuna to open the door, and she looked at Nakatomi Kamazu who was kneeling outside the door and said, "Come in, Assuna is my sister, there is nothing to hide from her." ”

Nakazena Kamazu glanced at Asukina, but didn't say anything, so he went directly into the house, and only after Assuna closed the door again, did he say to Sakura Rinko in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, those traitors have come to the village, Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai have also been transferred, and Ichiqi is ready." ”

Speaking of this, Nakatomi Kamazu looked at Asukina vigilantly, as if he still had some suspicions about Asuina, especially the matter of Asuina's younger brother was there.

Being looked at by Zhongchen's sickle, Tomorrow Nai suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to raise his head to meet the other party's gaze, so he could only lower his head as much as possible.

Seeing this, Sakura Rinko waved her hand and said: "Tomorrow, you don't have to be like this, I believe you, Zhongchenjun, you shouldn't doubt Tomorrow, she is my sister, and if you doubt her, you will be suspicious of me." ”

Seeing that Sakura Rinko had already spoken, Zhongchen Kamazu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is angry, Zhongchen doesn't dare to suspect Prince Nei, Zhongchen just wants to remind Prince Nei to remember his identity and not to do anything unfavorable to Your Majesty, and Zhongchen also believes that Prince Nei will not do that kind of thing." ”

Although she was not satisfied with Nakatomi Kamada's answer, Sakura Rinko was also very aware of the other party's loyalty to her, so she didn't pursue anything.

He lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Since the plan can be carried out smoothly, then Zhongchen, you will continue to be responsible for watching, I hope that the plan can be foolproof, even if it is at the expense of the entire village, I will see the result that satisfies me." ”

Asukina suddenly raised her head and looked at Sakura Rinko in shock, but the latter didn't care about Asukina's frightened gaze, but looked at Nakatomi Kamazu very firmly, and it was not difficult to see that Sakura Rinko had made up her mind to implement the plan she had made no matter what.

Nakazu Kamazu was very satisfied with Sakura Rinko's appearance, and felt in his heart that Sakura Rinko in front of him should be the true face of the emperor, and he even felt that Sakura Rinko would definitely be able to regain imperial power.

At this moment, he began to rejoice in his heart that he had gambled and risked almost all of his net worth to support Sakura Rinko to regain power, which seemed to be right now.

Seeing that Nakatomi Kamazu did not leave, Sakura Rinko directly ordered the expulsion: "Nakato-kun, do you have anything else?"

Zhongchen Kazuzu naturally understood that Sakura Rinko was giving him an order to expel guests, so he immediately kowtowed and said: "There is no Majesty, Zhongchen will go and prepare, and when Qiqi is ready, he will come to inform Your Majesty." ”

Quietly waiting for Nakatomi Kamazu to leave, and Asusuna closed the two doors again, Sakura Rinko spoke again: "I give you a chance, you can go and convince your brother to let him go with us, I have no brothers and sisters anymore, I don't want you to be as lonely as me in the future." ”

Hearing Sakura Rinko say this, Asuina was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come to her senses and kowtow with joy: "Many, thank you Majesty, Tomorrow Nai will definitely follow Majesty faithfully." ”

Seeing Asukana's smile, Sakura Rinko couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, go ahead, I believe Shirou has returned home now, remember that you only have one night, and we must leave tomorrow." ”

Asuna kowtowed again, then got up and walked away quickly.

Sakura Rinko stared at the back of Asujina leaving, and opened her mouth to ask something, but thinking of Asukina's kind heart, especially the concern for her brother, Sakura Rinko finally whispered to herself after Assuna left: "Be ruthless, otherwise you will only be the one who will be hurt."
