Taking a life is no more than a nod of the head, but this letter... is an even crueler attack on the heart than murder.
If someone had asked Li Tianfu before seeing this letter if she regretted that in order to avenge Lu Tianzhuo, she caused her mother's death and estrangement from her sister, she would have surely said no.
But upon seeing this letter today, Li Tianfu actually feels regret.
She simply couldn't accept it, couldn't accept that even though they were both legitimate daughters, her elder sister could inherit the throne and do as she pleased, while she was forced into a marriage alliance and separated from the man she loved. Even though Lu Tianzhuo could no longer be considered a man, in her heart he was still the one she loved most, the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
What she wanted was very simple, just to have a princess's residence in Xiliang where she and Lu Tianzhuo could live out their lives in peace.
