The road of the favorite concubine in three lives is destined

When the emperor walked into the palace, he unexpectedly saw the queen talking intimately with a strange man, and he immediately became jealous. He originally thought that the queen was discussing state affairs with General Lin, but he didn't expect it was the deputy general. This made him feel confused and dissatisfied.

He walked up to the queen, with a tone of dissatisfaction and questioning: "Queen, you let your brother wait outside the door, but you had an intimate conversation with the deputy general in your palace, why is that?"

The Empress was shocked when she saw the Emperor's expression. She understood the Emperor's jealousy and dissatisfaction, and also knew that her actions might have caused the Emperor to misunderstand her. She immediately explained, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. The Deputy General came here to report urgent military information. I think this matter is of great importance and I need to discuss it with you immediately, so I asked my brother to wait outside the door."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly, and seemed not to completely believe the queen's explanation. He looked at the deputy general and asked in a deep voice: "Deputy general, tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Upon seeing this, the deputy general immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, what the queen said is true. There is indeed urgent military information that needs to be reported. I believe this matter concerns the safety of my family and the country, so I came here specially to report to the emperor and the queen."

After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. He knew that the queen and the deputy general were both loyal and reliable people, and would not do anything to betray their family and country. However, he still felt jealous and dissatisfied with the queen's behavior.

He looked at the queen deeply, with a bit of dissatisfaction and warning in his tone: "Queen, I hope you can pay attention to your words and deeds. Although I believe that you and the deputy general are loyal and reliable, your behavior can easily lead to misunderstandings. I hope you can be more cautious and avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the family and the country."

After hearing this, the Queen felt a little aggrieved, but she knew that the Emperor's jealousy and worry came from his love for her and his family. She kowtowed deeply, saying that she would be careful about her words and actions to avoid causing trouble for her family and the country.

Seeing this, the emperor's jealousy and dissatisfaction also dissipated a lot. He knew that the queen was a smart and wise woman who could understand his feelings and concerns. He believed that she would handle things more carefully and contribute more to the future of the family and the country. So he waved his hand and asked the deputy general to continue reporting the urgent military situation.

The deputy general stood in the palace, his heart beating like a drum. He knew he was lying, there was no fighting on the front line, and the real purpose of his trip was to complete a secret mission. But now, he was forced to weave a lie in front of the emperor and the queen, which made him feel very uneasy.

He swallowed hard, trying to make his voice sound firm and powerful. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please allow me to explain in detail. Although the situation on the front line seems calm on the surface, it actually hides a great crisis. We have heard that the enemy has signs of secretly deploying troops, and it is very likely that they will launch a surprise attack. Therefore, I think we must be fully prepared to prevent any unexpected events."

The emperor frowned, as if he was thinking whether the deputy general's words were credible. The queen watched the emperor's expression and was secretly worried. She knew that if this lie was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Deputy General, I understand your concerns. But I hope you can ensure the accuracy of the intelligence. I don't want the whole country to fall into unnecessary panic because of a false alarm."

The deputy general was startled. He knew that the emperor's words meant that if the intelligence was inaccurate, he would bear serious consequences. He bowed his head deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will personally go to the front line to verify the authenticity of the intelligence and ensure that there is no mistake."

The emperor nodded and motioned him to leave. The deputy general left the palace with a heavy burden on his shoulders. He knew that he had escaped for the time being, but he also knew that this lie was just the beginning, and he had to find a solution as soon as possible to prevent things from getting worse.

Inside the palace, the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress continued. Although the Emperor had some doubts about the Deputy General's words, he also knew that now was not the time to pursue the truth. He needed to stabilize the country's situation and ensure national security. The Empress prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this lie would not bring too much disaster to the family and the country.

After the deputy general left, the emperor immediately ordered his trusted eunuchs to go to the front line to inquire about the news to confirm whether the military situation described by the deputy general was true. He knew that as a wise monarch, he could not easily believe one-sided words and had to confirm the truth himself.

The trusted eunuch took the order and left, while the emperor fell into deep thought. He recalled the deputy general's expression and words, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. Although the deputy general has always been loyal and reliable, his behavior this time is indeed a bit abnormal. The emperor knew in his heart that there might be a deeper secret behind this.

While waiting for the news, the emperor could not help but reflect on his relationship with the queen. He understood that his jealousy and dissatisfaction might be due to his distrust and worry about the queen. He knew that the queen was a smart, wise, kind and virtuous woman, but sometimes, his suspicion made him have unnecessary misunderstandings and suspicions about the queen.

The emperor secretly made up his mind that no matter what the news from the front line was, he would be honest with the queen and eliminate the misunderstandings and suspicions in his heart. He understood that only when the couple was united could they jointly face the challenges of the family and the country.

A few hours later, the trusted eunuch returned with news from the front. He reported to the emperor that there was indeed no fighting or abnormal situation at the front. After hearing this, the emperor was relieved, but his doubts about the deputy general deepened. He decided to talk to the deputy general and ask him the real purpose and reason behind his trip.

After the emperor summoned the deputy general, he asked him directly why he lied. Under the emperor's questioning, the deputy general had to confess the real purpose of his trip and said, "The queen and I have known each other since childhood. I just asked a few questions about my well-being. I lied to you because I was afraid that you would misunderstand me." The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a serious face, looking at the deputy general with a sharp gaze. The deputy general knelt in the hall, his head lowered, not daring to look directly into the emperor's eyes. He knew that his behavior had angered the emperor, but he also knew that now only by confessing can he seek the emperor's forgiveness.

"Deputy General, why did you lie?" The emperor's tone was cold and hard, and his voice revealed unquestionable majesty.

The deputy general took a deep breath and then spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, I know my behavior is inappropriate, but I am helpless. The Empress and I have known each other since childhood and are as close as siblings. This time, I came here just to reminisce with the Empress, but I didn't expect to cause Your Majesty's misunderstanding. I was afraid that Your Majesty would have unnecessary suspicions about the Empress, so I made up a lie about the military intelligence. I am willing to accept Your Majesty's punishment, and I only hope that Your Majesty can see clearly and not misunderstand Your Majesty."

After the emperor heard the deputy general's words, he felt a complex emotion. He was angry at the deputy general's deception, but he also understood his difficulties and concerns. The emperor knew that the queen and the deputy general had a deep friendship, and their relationship was also very special and complicated. He understood that although the deputy general's lie was for the purpose of protecting the queen, such behavior was a disrespect and challenge to the imperial power.

The emperor was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Deputy General, although your behavior this time is excusable, deceiving the emperor is absolutely intolerable. Considering the deep friendship between you and the queen, I have decided to give you a lighter sentence. I hope you can learn from your lesson and never do similar things again. Withdraw."

The deputy general kowtowed to express his gratitude, and then slowly left the palace. He knew that his actions had caused trouble and misunderstanding to the emperor and the queen, and he was determined to act more cautiously in the future and not let similar things happen again.

The Emperor actually ordered the execution of the deputy general. The Empress did not know until General Lin and General Huang had already been executed. When the Empress learned that the deputy general had been executed by the Emperor, she was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze for a long time. This news was too sudden for her, and she could not accept this fact at all. She thought of the deputy general's loyalty and bravery in the past, and the friendship they had known each other since childhood, and an indescribable grief welled up in her heart.

The Queen immediately went to the Emperor's palace to ask him in person why he had done such a cruel thing. But when she saw the Emperor's cold and determined eyes, she knew that there was no room for redemption. The Emperor had already executed General Lin and General Huang, and now he had killed the Deputy General, all for the sake of maintaining the dignity and authority of the royal family.

The Queen was heartbroken, but she also knew that she was powerless to change the Emperor's decision. She could only silently endure the grief and helplessness, and pray that the Deputy General could rest in peace in another world.

At the same time, this news also caused a huge shock in the court and the army. Many people felt sorry and unfair about the death of the deputy general, thinking that the emperor was too cruel and ruthless. But some people secretly rejoiced, thinking that the death of the deputy general could eliminate the emperor's suspicion and dissatisfaction with the queen and maintain the stability of the royal family.

However, all this is no longer important to the Queen. She has lost a friend who is as close as a brother, and also lost a deep friendship. She only hopes that she can get out of this grief as soon as possible, continue to be loyal to the country and the family, and protect the glory and dignity of the royal family.

General Huang's only friend and benefactor had appeared. He felt heartbroken and could only hug his wife and cry. Mrs. Huang said, "It was the deputy general who had saved our family before?" General Huang said, "Yes."
