"I cannot force her to completely give up her identity and position. She is not only my mother; she is also the Empress of Great Zhou.
"She ought to do what her position requires her to do. So even if I can understand whatever she does next."
He Zhao, hearing this, couldn't help but nod his head.
But then he asked, "Doesn't my lord feel wronged in your heart? What if the Emperor finds out about you..."
The one who truly betrayed him should be the Emperor.
Therefore, the real knot should also be the Emperor's actions.
"That doesn't matter." Yang Yi looked at him, "I've actually already understood him long ago."
He Zhao was stunned.
Yang Yi continued, "As a man, or as a General of Great Zhou, I can understand him sacrificing the small for the greater good. But in the end, I am his son, and it's familial affection that's the hurdle I can't get over.
"But it doesn't matter now because I have already abandoned him. The father-son bond in this life has simply been severed."
