When she began to realize that despite her power, status and money, she was still a poor creature that no one cared about, she could no longer control herself and became greedy.

After seeing the scenes of Mo Xiao and Lin Jiuqing getting along, she couldn't help but stare at Mo Xiao. She couldn't help but fantasize, if she became the person in Mo Xiao's heart, would she also be able to get everything like Lin Jiuqing?

The more she saw and thought about it, the more she wanted, the more her desire began to get out of control.

Power, status and money can no longer satisfy her, she wants love.

But after all this trouble, she finally understood that things that don't belong to you will never belong to you no matter what means you use.

Zhou Ruo wiped the tears from her face, slowly stood up, and looked at Lin Jiuqing: "No matter what you say, you are the winner, you will never be able to empathize with me."

Lin Jiuqing didn't explain, but just shook his head slowly.

She might be lucky enough in this life to be with Mo Xiao and have a child of her own, so she could be considered a winner. But in her previous life, she was a complete loser, losing everything.

She couldn't possibly tell Zhou Ruo about this.

Zhou Ruo no longer looked at Lin Jiuqing, but looked at Mo Xiao on the side: "Your Majesty, now that I have no leverage over you, how do you want to deal with me?"

Mo Xiao stared at her for a while, then said, "For Zhou Chen's sake, I will give you some respect."

After that, he called out, "Someone come."

Immediately someone came in from outside carrying a tray.

Zhou Ruo turned his head to look, and saw a glass of wine, a dagger, and a piece of white silk on the tray.

Zhou Ruo took a step back uncontrollably, all color gone from his face.

Mo Xiao said calmly: "You choose one."

Even though he was mentally prepared, when the moment really came, Zhou Ruo still couldn't help feeling afraid.

Her hands hanging by her side were shaking uncontrollably. After a while, she looked at Mo Xiao and said slowly, "Your Majesty, if I die, what will happen to An'er?"

Mo Xiao: "An'er will be raised by Concubine Chen. You didn't care about him before, and you don't have to worry about him in the future."

Zhou Ruo's eyes trembled, but he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, can you give me another chance? Put An'er on my knees to raise him, and I will definitely teach him everything with peace of mind. From now on, I don't ask for anything, I will voluntarily reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors and never come out to stir up trouble again. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my life."

Mo Xiao said coldly: "When you colluded with Tuoba Xuan to release the painting, did you ever think of saving Qingqing's life?"

Zhou Ruo opened his mouth, but could not utter any words to defend himself.

One can imagine what the outcome would be if the marriage was to take place in another country. Given Lin Jiuqing's physical condition, she would have died halfway through the journey.

At this point, Zhou Ruo had no way to defend himself, and he couldn't make any excuses.

But she really didn't want to die.

She looked at Lin Jiuqing standing aside and said softly, "Concubine Chen, didn't you think of letting me go once? Now, can you give me another chance and regard it as a good deed, okay?"

Lin Jiuqing lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Your Majesty will handle this matter. I cannot make a decision."

"What did you say to her? She doesn't understand anything." Mo Xiao frowned and interrupted Zhou Ruo, saying impatiently, "Choose one, don't waste everyone's time."
