The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

The emperor looked down at the person kneeling on the ground. She was dirty and her hair was disheveled. She had lost the dignified and graceful appearance of the queen in the past.

At this moment, she was just a pitiful woman who kept sobbing and begging him for mercy.

Seeing this scene, the emperor's heart seemed to be shot by countless sharp arrows at the same time. The pain penetrated deep into his bones, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He could never have imagined that the woman he once loved so deeply would become like this, and all the love and sincerity he had given to her over the years would have gone down the drain!

The emperor closed his eyes tightly, trying to erase the scene from his mind, but tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes. However, there was no longer any tenderness or hesitation in his eyes. Instead, there was a kind of resolution and firmness.

It seemed that at the moment he closed his eyes just now, he had already made some important decision in his heart.

He said in a low but unquestionable tone: "Come here... convey my order. The queen suddenly fell ill and unfortunately passed away yesterday. All matters after her death are handled according to the etiquette and regulations that should be followed by the queen."

When he said this, no one knew the tremendous pain he was feeling in his heart.

Every word hit his heart like a heavy hammer, but he still suppressed his grief and maintained his dignity as a king.

When the Queen heard the Emperor's personal decree, she collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.

In fact, she had already expected this outcome and was even prepared to face death.

But when this moment really came, a sense of unwillingness inevitably welled up in her heart.

After all, although she had never truly loved this man, it was this man who had accompanied her for more than ten years. Even if there was no love between them, there must be some affection between them.

She didn't expect the man to be so decisive, but thinking back on what she had done, she felt that it was not excessive for the man to make such a decision.

She silently chose to accept her fate, and for the safety of her only son, she finally accepted the emperor's order.

The queen took a deep breath and tried her best to control her emotions that were about to collapse.

Then, she straightened her body with difficulty, stood upright in the direction of the emperor, and kowtowed respectfully.

This kowtow not only represents her obedience to the emperor's will, but also symbolizes her complete letting go of all the grudges and hatreds of the past.

"I obey your order..." After she said that, she straightened her body and made the last request of her life to the emperor.

"I am willing to die, but please, Your Majesty, allow me to do one last thing?" After saying that, she kowtowed to the emperor again.

The emperor, who was high above everyone else, seemed to have pushed his disgust to the extreme, and he no longer even had the desire to look at him again.

He resolutely turned his back and said in a cold and resolute tone: "I know what you want, and I will grant you your request. I will spare the life of the eldest prince and ensure that he can live a peaceful and trouble-free life."

After saying this, the emperor seemed to feel that there was nothing worth staying here anymore. He raised his legs without hesitation and hurriedly left the palace where the queen was with big strides.

The queen stared quietly at the emperor's back as he walked away, her face full of reverence and awe.

She slowly bent down and knelt, and kowtowed solemnly to express her gratitude for the emperor's grace.

Shortly after the emperor left, the powerful eunuch beside the emperor, carefully holding a pot of poisonous wine emitting a strange smell in his hands, walked towards the queen step by step.

He bowed slightly and said in a tone without any emotion: "Empress, please accept this jug of wine. This is the last honor granted to you by the Emperor."

After saying this, the chief eunuch personally filled a cup with poisoned wine and handed it steadily to the queen.

The queen's eyes were as calm as water. She stared fixedly at the wine glass filled with poisoned wine in the eunuch's hand. There was not a trace of fear or hesitation on her face.

On the contrary, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, forming a graceful arc, and her beautiful eyes also curved along with it, with a faint smile appearing at the corners of her eyes.

She whispered softly, "Nangong Yu, don't go so fast. I'll come to find you soon." After that, the queen raised her head without hesitation and drank the deadly poison in the cup.

In just a moment, the poisoned wine had already exerted its terrible toxicity.

The queen's body trembled violently, and then, blood began to flow out of her seven orifices. Her body shook a few times, and finally she collapsed to the ground, and died.

The sad news of the queen's sudden death spread throughout the entire Northern Qi Dynasty like a thunderclap.

Ouyang Yi, who was guarding the border far away, and Nangong Mingxuan, who was suppressing a rebellion, learned the shocking news almost at the same time.

Although they both had doubts about the mysterious cause of the queen's death, they did not dare to disobey or question the emperor's order.

After all, they have always upheld the belief of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism throughout their lives, and they know that there are some things that they cannot interfere with or question at will.

After a bloody battle, Nangong Mingxuan finally succeeded in suppressing the rebellion.

At the same time, he also successfully met up with Ouyang Miaoling in Jiangcheng. When the long-lost lovers met again, Nangong Mingxuan could no longer suppress his excitement.

He hurriedly jumped off the horse that had followed him to the battlefield, and galloped towards Ouyang Miaoling like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, Nangong Mingxuan came in front of Ouyang Miaoling.

He opened his arms without hesitation and hugged the woman he loved most in his life.

Feeling her warm body, Nangong Mingxuan felt as if he owned the whole world.

"Ling'er... do you know? When I heard that you were behind the rebels, my heart almost broke. Every day, every moment, I racked my brains to plan how to defeat the traitor Nangong Yu as soon as possible, just to be able to reunite with you as soon as possible. I didn't expect that I could get what I wanted today! I am so relieved!"

As he spoke, Nangong Mingxuan unconsciously tightened his arms around Ouyang Miaoling a little more, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

Ouyang Miaoling was already a little breathless in his embrace. She patted her back with her hands and murmured, "Let go... Let go, Nangong Mingxuan, you are going to strangle me to death!"

When Nangong Mingxuan heard her struggling words in his ear, he realized that he had used too much force with his arms.

He quickly let go of Ouyang Miaoling, then held her tightly with his big hands. He wanted to hold her for the rest of his life and stay by her side.
