The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Emperor Dong sat on the dragon throne, holding the armrests tightly with both hands, his brows furrowed. His eyes were fixed forward, but his thoughts had already drifted away.

"Your Majesty..." the chief guard beside him reminded softly.

The Emperor of the East came back to his senses and sighed: "I always feel that cutting off the retreat is not a simple matter. The Queen..."

Emperor Dong knew that if he rashly questioned the Queen, not only would he not get the truth, but he would also alert the enemy.

Moreover, deposing a queen is no small matter. It not only concerns the stability of the harem, but will also have a huge impact on the entire royal family.

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Dong: "Send someone secretly to get rid of that minister for me!"

The chief guard was startled, but quickly regained his composure: "As you wish."

Dongdi knew that this decision was somewhat risky, but he believed that it was the only way to protect the interests of himself and the royal family.

This decision not only allowed him to avoid a direct conflict with the Queen, but also enabled him to control the situation more effectively.

Although this is also a risky and dangerous move, Dongdi firmly believes in his own judgment and believes that this is the best way to solve the problem.

That night, Vice Minister of War Wang Ziwen suddenly died in his own residence.

The next morning, the news spread quickly throughout the capital, causing people's shock and discussion.

People speculated about the reasons. Some said it was because he offended the powerful and was killed, while others believed it was caused by a sudden illness.

However, what is the truth? No one knows.

Noon.

Although the queen had been confined to her bedroom, she still learned about the sudden death of Vice Minister of War Wang Ziwen through certain special channels.

When she heard the news, her face instantly became extremely gloomy and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She understood that this matter would definitely not be so simple and there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

At this moment, she began to wonder if the Emperor of the East had noticed something, or if all this was directed at her...

"He must have been assassinated!"

She couldn't suppress her inner anger and disappointment. She screamed and slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound.

Then, she frantically grabbed other porcelain ornaments and smashed them around recklessly. For a moment, the whole room was filled with crackling sounds of breaking.

As time went on, the queen's emotions became more and more out of control.

She waved her arms vigorously and kept throwing objects around her out of the window.

Her face was covered with tears and her eyes revealed despair and anger.

Finally, the queen fell to the ground exhausted, her body trembling slightly.

She looked at the broken porcelain pieces scattered all over the floor, her eyes empty and helpless.

She realized that she had lost everything, including her dignity, status and hope for the future.

The Eastern Emperor had completely lost trust in her, and not only that, he also cut off all her escape routes.

This made her feel extremely desperate and helpless.

She once naively believed that she could easily manipulate the Eastern Emperor with her own wisdom and means.

However, reality ruthlessly shattered her fantasy and made her realize that all this was just an illusory dream.

She recalled the time she had spent with Dongdi in the past, and every detail was vivid in her mind.

She had tried to confuse him with her gentle smile and sweet voice; she had also challenged him with her sharp words and clever schemes.

But no matter what, Dongdi was able to respond in a way that was beyond ordinary people, as if he could see through her deepest thoughts.

Now, she finally understood that the ability of the Eastern Emperor was far beyond her imagination.

"It turns out that I have been deceiving myself, thinking that I can control the East Emperor. But in fact, he is the one who truly holds the initiative."

At this moment, a deep sense of frustration surged in her heart.

She began to reflect on her actions, wondering whether she should let go of her obsession and re-examine her relationship with Dongdi.

Perhaps, only in this way can we find the path that truly belongs to us.

After a long time, she finally calmed down and decided to face reality.

"It seems that there is only one last way left." She murmured to herself.
