For a long time after Concubine Liang came in, the entire palace was in a state of almost awkward indifference. Everyone had a lot to say, but no one seemed to be able to say anything.

The queen knew that the person now hiding under the guise of Concubine Liang should be the emperor, but she really didn't know how to face such a person who had left a significant mark in her life.

When he used his daughter as a vessel in a high-handed manner, did he feel a little pain as a father?

When he was betrayed, forced to fall from that supreme position and became a stray dog, did he have the slightest regret for what he had done?

None of the queens knew, and she had no way to ask.

So she could only remain silent, but Liangpin didn't seem to take her, a person who was used from beginning to end, to heart. She took two quick breaths, then said with a smile: "Aman, after so many years, you are still so soft-hearted."

Although she looked very miserable, her face was covered in blood and her whole body was in tatters.

But her demeanor remained calm and composed, as if she had not suffered this series of betrayals, nor had she fallen to her current state, and was still the almighty emperor.

The Emperor and Concubine Liang have completely different temperaments, and anyone who knows them a little bit can easily tell the difference.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhilan had to believe this fact. The emperor, whom she once regarded as a god, now seemed to be finished.

This made her feel relieved, but she began to panic again, worrying that she would be silenced for being involved in such a secret plan.

After all, before this, she had never met A'man, Concubine Lan, and the Queen, and she was a complete outsider in this situation.

A'man sneered. At this moment, she seemed much more lively and no longer the bored and lifeless image that she had shown before, walking in the palace just for revenge.

"Do you think everyone is like you? You can do all kinds of cruel things for the throne and abandon those relatives who once loved you. Emperor, I can only say that you ended up being deserted by everyone. It's really not unfair. Those who truly loved you were slaughtered by you at the very beginning. But you worked so hard to plan for such a long time, but the final result was nothing. Don't you think it's ironic when you think about this?"

"No, I have never regretted my decision." Liangpin, no, now I should call him the emperor.

He was not wearing a dragon robe, nor did he continue to call himself the emperor, but he just sat in front of them like this, and everyone knew clearly that he was the emperor.

He said lightly, ignoring the panicked looks of Liu Zhilan and the Queen, and frankly spoke of his own mental journey, "I was also entangled at the beginning. Everyone is like this, and I am like this too. What's wrong with that?"

"I can still be a good son to my father, a good brother to the crown prince, and a good husband to my aunt, but what's the point?

"If I don't do this, everything I once cherished will collapse in the next few years. If I do this, I may not be able to save my most cherished relatives, but at least I can let more people survive."

"Nonsense!" A'man was furious. She flipped over the small coffee table in front of her and shouted angrily, "If it weren't for you trying to usurp the throne, there wouldn't be war on the border and the crown prince wouldn't have died. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could safely ascend the throne, he would definitely do better than you. Do you believe what you said?"

The emperor showed a sad look on his face. He said softly: "Do you really not know the current situation? Or have you been deceiving yourself?"
