The Empress knelt before the Emperor, bowed her head, and let the tears silently slide down her cheeks, dripping to the ground, splashing a cloud of dirt. Her shoulders shook violently, crying so much that the pear blossoms and rain were full of tears, which made people feel sad and extremely moving.

In the past, she looked ruthless and tricky in front of people, and people couldn't imagine that she had such a vulnerable side. Of course, this is a situation where no outsiders are present, if she hadn't drunk those palace maids just now, in front of the palace maids, the queen would definitely not lose her worth.

At this moment, she cried so sincerely, not all for acting for the emperor. It cannot be denied that she recalled those old years, and felt injustice in her heart for what she was embarrassed about, so she was sad and indignant.

For more than 20 years, in the dead of night, she stayed alone in the empty room, lying on the bed, looking at the empty bed, how many tears flowed and how many pillows were wet.

However, she was the only one who secretly wept. At this time, in front of the emperor, she couldn't help crying, in addition to the pain in her heart, she couldn't help but be sad, and there was a little hope in it.

She hoped that the emperor would understand the pain in her heart and evoke the affection he had for her. To put it bluntly, he hoped he would change his mind. Although, she knew that such hope was slim.

She knew that he had long hated her, and it was not easy to change his mind? However, she was willing to give it a try. Not only for herself, but also for her own royal son. She always hoped that her emperor could take over the country, but the emperor disagreed. She thought that the emperor was because of her and did not let her son inherit the throne.

The Emperor stood there silently, as straight as a tree, and he just watched it all with cold eyes. He didn't even bother to look at the queen and cast his gaze into the distance. No matter how heart-rending the queen cried and broke her liver and intestines, his heart was like water, and he couldn't make any waves in his heart.

Although as an emperor, you must have a ruthless and indifferent side. But he admits that he is not a ruthless person. However, in the face of the queen who was crying heartbroken at the moment, he just couldn't feel distressed. He felt that this was the queen acting.

If it had been left more than 20 years ago, and those sad things had not happened, he would have seen the queen crying so sadly, and he would definitely not have followed. He would stop her as soon as possible, comfort her, help her wipe her tears, and hold her in his arms. He would be distressed by her crying.

And now, he just stood on the sidelines, as if he was a stranger. No, if it's a stranger, he'll come up and ask a few words. Don't be sad. Watching the queen cry, he really didn't feel it.

Because of the matter of Concubine Xu and Imperial Concubine Su, he was completely disappointed in the queen. He saw the queen's personality clearly, saw through her essence, and was no longer deceived by her. For him, the queen's move was just pretending to be pitiful, in order to win his sympathy and pity.

Now, no matter how much the queen cries and wipes away her tears, he will only feel that she is to blame.

If you knew today, why bother in the first place?

After a while, the emperor smiled dismally and said coldly: "Want to hear good words? Want a good look? Xia Xizhi. You will only talk about your merits, have you ever confessed to the mistakes you have made? As soon as I returned to the court, I heard the bad news of Xu Guifei's mother and son, as well as the disappearance of Imperial Concubine Su. Do you dare to say that you didn't do this? How do you ask me to thank you? ”

His tone changed, and he said impatiently: "Put away your humble tears, I won't eat this!" You're crying like this, and I'll just think you're doing yourself! ”

Everything around is ethereal, and the air is filled with a feeling of oppression. It's a suffocating feeling. Xia Wenxuan was extremely puzzled. How could she be here. She was very remorseful, why didn't she leave with those palace maids? At the moment, she is really guilty of staying here.

These words are extremely ugly! However, the results were immediate. The queen stopped crying at once and smiled self-deprecatingly. It's terrifying to look at.

He watched her cry, but he didn't move, not even a glance. She had a feeling that her heart was dead. No amount of words can describe her state of mind at the moment. Is it hatred? Is it despair? Is it anger? Is it sadness? Or what kind of emotion, I can't tell.

In his eyes, he couldn't accommodate her for a long time. He was absolutely ruthless to her, and she still fantasized that he would change his mind.

However, she quickly recovered. Such a result is also within her tolerance. She was mentally prepared. At the beginning, since he had decided to do this, he would inevitably break with him if he poisoned the two concubines.

The emperor did not pursue this matter, and he has done his best to her, what else does she want?

You can't have both. If she chooses to maintain her position of power, she will inevitably sacrifice others. She had expected this to come. Everything is caused by herself. The path she chooses for herself, even if she is on her knees, she has to go down.

The queen gritted her teeth and stopped crying. She smiled bitterly, laughing more ugly than crying: "The concubine doesn't understand the meaning of the emperor's words. ”

He doesn't care anymore, why is she crying? Who is distressed when crying?

The emperor couldn't do anything about her, so he asked knowingly: "Then according to the queen's opinion, who did this?" ”

Of course, it was the queen who did it, he just pretended to be confused. Asking this, I don't expect the queen to admit it. He was just a wake-up call for her to stop harming others.

The queen stared at the emperor with a pair of red and swollen eyes, with a provocative meaning: "Your Majesty, the concubine said that this matter was purely accidental." Why does the emperor keep thinking that there is a secret in this matter? If the emperor suspects that this is the work of the concubine, the concubine is really speechless. In order to prove their innocence, the concubines were willing to be examined. Ask the emperor to escort the concubines to the criminal department for interrogation. ”

The queen expected that the emperor would not really do this. If he had the heart to embarrass her, he would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now? If he does this now, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic in the people. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he will settle things.

"Do you think I don't dare?" The emperor's perfunctory color was lost, and his eyes swept towards the queen like a knife, and the killing intent was simply terrifying: "Xia Xizhi, I have repeatedly tolerated you, but you have repeatedly provoked!" If you touch my bottom again, Hugh blames me for turning my face and being ruthless. If you mess with me, I can be reckless. ”

When the queen saw that the emperor was angry, she moved her real character, her arrogance was gone, and her attitude softened. She still didn't want to mess with him. After all, tearing her face doesn't do her any good at all.

She had an idea and played the bitter card: "The emperor is angry." The concubine did not intend to anger the emperor. The concubine just wanted the emperor to understand the grievances and depression in the concubine's heart. I think that at the beginning, the concubine was pregnant with the emperor, and the emperor didn't care about the concubine. When the emperor gave birth, the concubine had a difficult birth, and the emperor ignored it and did not go to the delivery room. ”

At the mention of the emperor, the emperor's face softened.

After a pause, the queen said aggrievedly: "The emperor hates his concubines so much, which makes the concubines extremely sad. Even if the emperor doesn't like his concubines, the emperor is the emperor's flesh and blood, and the emperor should not have prejudices against him. ”
