She could not believe what she saw. The man who was once full of vigor and promised to give her a happy life, just left her like this?

She stared blankly out the window, her eyes blurred by uncontrollable tears.

Although she was heartbroken, as the queen of a country, she knew that she could not show her emotions easily.

Therefore, she could only suppress the sadness in her heart, sent away everyone around her, and stayed alone to pray for him silently.

She hoped that he could live a peaceful and tranquil life in another world, without wars, conflicts, separations and deaths.

But when she thought back to the past times she had spent with him, those sweet and warm memories came flooding back to her mind, making her feel miserable.

In the end, all the sadness burst out like a flood.

She could no longer suppress her emotions. She covered her face with her hands and tears rolled down her face like pearls from a broken string.

At first, she just sobbed softly, but as time went on, her sobs became louder and louder until it turned into a heart-wrenching cry. The cry was full of despair and pain, which made people cry.

The personal dowry nanny outside the door knew about her situation. She had the foresight to help her stop everyone and let her vent her emotions alone in the room.

Just when the queen was in agony, the emperor walked in with a team of guards behind him.

The maid guarding the door saw the emperor coming from a distance, and she quickly knelt down and greeted loudly: "Your servant greets the emperor, may the emperor be well."

Faced with the old nanny's strange behavior, the emperor did not expose her, but walked straight past her and went towards the queen's palace.

In the palace, the queen, who was crying, stopped crying when she heard the noise at the door.

In order not to reveal any clues in front of the emperor, she quickly stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

When the emperor pushed the door open, she had just taken off her shoes and was lying on the bed.

The emperor entered the queen's palace alone. The guards he brought with him were left guarding the door. Today he wanted to have a good talk with the queen about those things that could not be known to outsiders.

The emperor approached the queen's bed and said calmly, "Queen, stop pretending. Get up. Let's have a good talk today."

The queen's heart tightened. She thought that she had been extremely careful when doing these things and must not let the emperor know.

But the emperor's tone just now seemed to indicate that he knew something, so she struggled to sit up with a feeling of uneasiness.

The emperor saw at a glance that the queen was abnormal, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Queen, have you ever cried for him? Do you like the second brother so much?"

When the emperor said this, the queen was shocked, but she quickly regained her composure. She slowly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you mean."

"How could the Queen not know? You'd better stop deceiving yourself. The reason I came here today to talk to you calmly is because we have been husband and wife for more than ten years. I don't believe you will betray me. I want to hear it from your own mouth."

Faced with the emperor's blatant questioning, the queen knew that the emperor must have known everything.

Why didn't the emperor deal with her in a high-profile manner? It was because he couldn't afford to lose face for the royal family.

She didn't know how much the emperor knew. Her beloved was dead, and she was heartbroken. All her hopes were shattered. She was willing to die now, but the only person she couldn't let go of was her biological son. She wanted to buy a chance for her son to survive before she died.

So she was no longer timid, but looked up at the emperor and met his gaze. Her eyes revealed her dissatisfaction with her current life, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

The emperor did not remain indifferent. Instead, he walked over, took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears from her cheeks, then said in a low voice: "Don't cry, I just want to end things with you properly!"

When the queen heard the emperor's words, she knew that her situation was hopeless, so she closed her eyes with a determined heart, and then opened them again as if she had become a different person and spoke: "No matter how the emperor wants to punish me, I will have no complaints. After all, I am the one who has let you down."

She paused and continued, "Please let my son go. He is innocent. He doesn't know anything. It's all my fault as a mother. It's a pity that she can't choose her own birth. If she had a choice, I think she would definitely not choose me. Your Majesty, please let the innocent people go."

After saying this, he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to the emperor, begging for mercy.

The emperor said calmly: "Please stand up. I just want to know why you chose your brother over me. Am I not good enough? Or am I not good enough for you?" Faced with the emperor's soul-searching questioning, the queen had no answer.

After a long while, she slowly said, "Perhaps, you and I should never have met. A woman like me is not worthy of you. Your Majesty, please kill me!"

Her words of begging for death hit the emperor hard. The emperor was so angry that he pulled the queen close to his body, and then used his other big hand to tightly pinch the queen's neck and said, "Why? Why did you betray me? What can the second brother give you?"

"I! I have given you everything I have! Whatever you want, I will give it to you without hesitation. I have given you the supreme power of the queen. I have made your mother's family rich and prosperous. I have also paved the way for your son's bright future. I have also protected your dignity. I really can't understand what I did wrong to make you treat me like this and betray me so ruthlessly and without loyalty."

The emperor roared in rage, and when he said the last few words, his voice was almost a roar. His originally majestic eyes were now filled with disappointment and anger. His hands unconsciously clenched tightly because of excitement, and the force of pinching the queen's neck increased accordingly.

Just when the Queen was about to roll her eyes due to suffocation, perhaps the Emperor still had a trace of rationality, or perhaps he still couldn't bear it, he finally slowly loosened his hands that were tightly pinching the Queen's neck.

The queen, who was suddenly freed from her restraints, felt as if she had been pardoned, and her body collapsed to the ground.

She didn't care about her image. She opened her mouth like a dying fish and greedily sucked in big gulps of the fresh air around her.

After a long time, the queen finally recovered from the brink of death and her emotions gradually stabilized. However, she was still in shock, knowing that she had made a big mistake, angered the emperor, and her life was in danger.

So, she did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly knelt on her knees, with her head on the ground, and tremblingly begged for mercy from the emperor: "You can kill me or cut me into pieces, it's all up to your majesty. I only ask that you can give me a quick death." After that, the queen fell to the ground and trembled, waiting for the emperor's final decision.
