"So you all lied to me, everyone lied to me, and treated me like a fool."

Xie Yaoqing's tears rolled down her cheeks, and her voice was filled with despair and anger.

After learning the whole story, Xie Yaoqing felt even more devastated. She had never thought that she would be deceived by so many people. Xiao Chengxu deceived her, the imperial doctors also deceived her, and even Nanny Fang, who had served her for many years and was like a family member, was involved in deceiving her.

Could it be that they had the right to deceive her just because it was so-called "for her own good"? She tried every possible means to get the child, but she didn't realize that she had already forgotten this biological child.

The Queen Mother is right, this is retribution.

She once saved Xiao Chengxu and lost a child for it, so she no longer has any offspring. How could this not be considered a retribution?

No wonder Xiao Chengxu asked Doctor Zhu to tamper with the pregnancy medicine. Xiao Chengxu didn't care about her child at all.

Xie Yaoqing seemed to have lost all her strength. She slowly fell on the bed, curled up into a ball, and trembled slightly. At first, she cried loudly, as if she wanted to release all the grievances and pain, but gradually, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally only a low whimper remained. Tears slid down her pale cheeks like a flood, dripping onto the pillow, leaving patches of dark water stains.

Nanny Fang stood aside, watching all this quietly, feeling so distressed that she could not speak. She opened her mouth several times, trying to comfort the heartbroken woman in front of her, but she did not know what to say.

Now, in the eyes of the Empress, I am afraid that I have become an accomplice in corruption and have lost her trust.

As the night deepened, a chilly atmosphere filled the entire palace. Occasionally, intermittent sobbing sounds could be heard from inside, sounding particularly desolate in the silent night.

Xiao Chengxu, who was standing in the yard, also vaguely heard the sound.

He frowned tightly, his face was as pale as paper, and his hands were clenched into fists so tightly that his fingertips almost sank into his palms.

She is crying...

Just like when they lost their child, they cried so sadly and desperately.

He once thought that they still had a lot of time to slowly make up for the past shortcomings and that he would definitely give Qingqing a child of their own. However, he failed to do so in both his past life and this life.

Time passed quickly, taking away too many things. He could only stand here, listening to her crying, but could do nothing.

After crying for a while, Xie Yaoqing raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she seemed to have calmed down a little.

"Where is the emperor now? Is he in the Qianqing Palace? Or somewhere else?" Xie Yaoqing asked softly. His tone was unusually calm, without any ripples, but it made people secretly frightened.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is in the yard." Zhiyu answered cautiously.

Xie Yaoqing nodded slightly to show that he understood, then stood up and walked quickly towards the door.

"My lady, where are you going?"

Zhiyu and the others were all shocked. It was almost dawn, and why was the Queen running out instead of taking a rest?

Xie Yaoqing completely ignored the shouts coming from behind her. She quickly walked into another room and took out what she needed - a long sword.

When he saw Xie Yaoqing walking towards him with a sword in hand, Xiao Chengxu's heart suddenly tightened, his pupils shrank sharply, his eyes were filled with surprise, astonishment, and disbelief, and finally gradually turned into dejection and sadness, and even a weak bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She wants to kill him!

The woman he loved deeply actually wanted to take his life!

The former Qingqing was willing to give everything for him, even to sacrifice her own safety to protect him.

However, one day, Qingqing would point the tip of her sword at him instead of anyone else, and would no longer fight alongside him.

At this moment, Xiao Chengxu felt Xie Yaoqing's hatred for him so deeply and directly for the first time.

It was not that he didn't know that Xie Yaoqing harbored resentment towards him, especially when he learned that Xie Yaoqing also had memories of her past life. He knew very well that due to his own disappointment and debt, Xie Yaoqing could not help but hate him.

Therefore, Xie Yaoqing's indifference, disgust, and cold words... these were all completely within Xiao Chengxu's expectations.

However, perhaps the only thing that exceeded his expectations was that Xie Yaoqing actually wanted to kill him.

Xie Yaoqing stared at Xiao Chengxu closely, endless hatred burning in her eyes.

Xie Yaoqing felt deeply guilty and regretful. She shouldn't have forgotten her child, but she hated Xiao Chengxu even more.

After much thought, Xie Yaoqing came to a conclusion.

Xiao Chengxu is incompatible with her children! Whether in the past life or in this life, he is incompatible with his children!

As for whether he was unlucky for other people, Xie Yaoqing was not sure, but Xiao Chengxu was indeed unlucky for his children, and he was also unlucky for his wife. Wasn’t she killed by Xiao Chengxu in her previous life?

When Feng An saw Xie Yaoqing walking towards him with a sword in hand and looking aggressive, his face turned pale instantly.

Did the Empress want to kill the Emperor? Was this an attempt to regicide?

Regicide is one of the most serious crimes. Your Majesty, you must not do anything stupid on impulse!

Feng An stood in front of Xiao Chengxu, forcing a smile on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is really in a good mood. It is really a beautiful thing to dance with a sword under the moon. But now it is late at night and the dew is heavy. You'd better go to bed early. Let me help you put away this sword first, and you can take it out when you need it."

There were neither stars nor moon tonight, but Feng An still managed to come up with such words to smooth things over for Xie Yaoqing, which was really not easy.

If Xie Yaoqing was more knowledgeable, he should have walked down the stairs and handed the sword to Feng An.

However, Xie Yaoqing just didn't do that.

She was holding the tip of the sword, pointing it straight at Feng An, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she said in a cold tone: "I am going to use the sword now, quickly get out of the way, Feng An, I have nothing against you."

Faced with such a situation, Feng An couldn't help but sweat dripping down his forehead, but he still stood firmly in place without moving an inch.

Although Feng'an respected Queen Xie Yaoqing very much in his heart, he was ultimately a subordinate of Xiao Chengxu, and Xiao Chengxu was not only his master, but also the extremely noble emperor.

In times of crisis, everyone must put the emperor's safety first, and Feng'an is no exception.

He wants to protect his master.

"Empress, please stop joking." Feng An said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Feng An was in a dilemma, hesitating whether to call the guards to protect the emperor. Judging from the Queen's words and actions, it seemed that she was indeed trying to assassinate the emperor, but if the matter got out of hand...

"Feng'an, step back!" Xiao Chengxu scolded in a low voice.

Feng An's body suddenly stiffened, "Your Majesty?"

"Back off. Do I need to repeat this for the third time? Since when did you dare to disobey my orders? I am no longer your master."

Xiao Chengxu's tone was extremely stern.

Feng An had no choice but to quietly step aside, his face full of worry.

Why is it that the Empress is acting like a fool and the Emperor is also acting like a fool? If something happens, it would be bad if someone gets hurt.

Feng An was very worried, but he was just a servant, his words were insignificant and he could do nothing.

Without Feng An's obstruction, the only person standing in front of Xie Yaoqing was Xiao Chengxu.

The two looked at each other, and all Xiao Chengxu saw in Xie Yaoqing's eyes was hatred.

"Are you going to kill me? My dear..."

Xiao Chengxu stared straight at Xie Yaoqing, his eyes slightly red, and the words he spoke softly were trembling with a trace that was difficult to conceal.
