The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Queen He Wenfei wore a plain white dress except for her crown and robes. She sat deep in the bedroom. Her figure looked particularly lonely under the light of the palace lanterns.

Looking around, the once prosperous palace is now in a mess, with all kinds of debris scattered all over the ground, as if it had just experienced a catastrophe.

The meal brought by the palace servants was placed on a table beside them, but no one was touched.

This was the scene the emperor saw when he walked in.

There is a look of desolation in his eyes.

"No one came to clean up?" The emperor frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "Someone come..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It was I who didn't let them clean." The queen spoke in a hoarse voice.

The emperor looked at her haggard appearance, and a trace of pity seemed to flash in his eyes.

He had never seen such a queen before.

The Queen's mother's family was not prosperous, and he was just a little prince with no chance of status.

When the late emperor offered him marriage, he couldn't refuse, and he knew she couldn't refuse either.

However, unlike her own reserved nature, even though she was just a small prince's consort at that time, she was still full of vigor and her eyes were full of light.

There was a gleam of longing and expectation for the future in my eyes. They have never felt so hopeless like today.

"Why don't you have your meal?" The emperor's voice gradually softened.

"I have no appetite." The queen remained sitting where she was. She raised her head and looked directly at the emperor. "Your Majesty, have you thought about what to do with me?"

The emperor avoided her gaze: "Wen Fei, after this matter gets out, the people will be filled with resentment..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain too much. Just tell me the result." There was a hint of fatigue in the queen's voice.

"I... am sorry."

"Depose her?" The queen smiled slightly, "Or grant her death?"

"I……"

"Oh, so first depose her, then sentence her to death?"

The emperor was silent.

The queen stood up and lowered her head to smooth the wrinkles on her clothes. "I have been waiting for this day since the Qixi Festival. No matter how Your Majesty punishes me, I am willing to bear it. But... I have a request."

"You say." The emperor's voice trembled slightly.

"It's all my fault. Your Majesty, please don't vent your anger on others, especially... Prince An." The Queen said calmly, "The child was born in the year Your Majesty ascended the throne. I remember that at that time, the old ministers of the previous dynasty held Your Majesty hostage inside and outside the court. They even tried every means to obstruct Your Majesty from updating the reign title after His Majesty ascended the throne. I remember that at that time, Your Majesty would pick up the swaddled Ao Ge'er every time he returned to the harem, and would not let go all night long. Even the name Ao Ge'er embodies Your Majesty's desire to soar into the sky and fly into the sky."

"Now, the reason why Ao Ge'er went to Anzhou is also due to my upbringing. Now no matter how Your Majesty punishes me, I will be happy with it... I only ask Your Majesty not to vent your anger on him because of my fault." The queen's words were full of pleading and expectation.

The emperor looked deeply at the queen, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, he is also my son."

After receiving the emperor's promise, the queen smiled slightly, but her smile was full of a broken feeling.

"In that case, I will leave with peace of mind." After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the inner room.

The emperor was speechless, silently watching the queen's back disappear at the end of his sight.

Then he slowly turned around and left the Queen's bedroom.

The moment he walked out the door, the emperor stood with his hands behind his back.

The reluctance and heartache just now disappeared in an instant.

His tone was indifferent: "Where are the people?"

The eunuch Wang, who had been serving the queen, knelt before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "In one hour, go to my imperial study and report the death."

Eunuch Wang's body trembled noticeably: "Your Majesty, the Queen... after all, she is..."

"You've been serving the Queen for so long that you don't listen to me anymore?" the emperor sneered.

"I dare not!" Eunuch Wang fell to the ground in panic.

"After the Queen's funeral is over, you can leave the palace and serve the Fourth Master. It will be like your retirement."

Eunuch Wang repeatedly thanked him: "I thank your majesty for your grace!"

Before he finished bowing his head, the emperor's footsteps were already getting farther and farther away.

Eunuch Yao, who had been waiting by the emperor's side without saying a word, hurriedly followed him and said, "Your Majesty, are you not going to hold the Fourth Prince accountable?"

From the moment Ah Jing returned to the palace, it seemed that the Fourth Prince had no chance of turning things around, but now...

After hearing his words, the emperor sighed slightly: "After all, he is my child..."
