The Queen closed her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I understand clearly that the guard did not succeed. I killed him and cleared my name."

"You're dirty." The emperor pushed the queen away in disgust. "Before, there was Hong Lang, and now there are guards. How many times have you cheated on me?"

The Queen was shocked: "I am wronged. From the beginning to the end, I have only had one man, and that is the Emperor. I will never betray the Emperor. Your Majesty, you must believe in me!"

The emperor laughed at him, "Haha, why should I trust you?"

"If it weren't for the royal family's reputation and my dignity today, I would have killed you today and let everyone know that my queen committed adultery!" The emperor was furious and pinched the queen's neck, wishing he could strangle her to death.

The queen was suffocating, having difficulty breathing, her face was red, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked ferocious. How could she be the mother of the country?

Looking at the furious emperor, the murderous look in his eyes frightened the queen.

Just when the queen was about to be strangled to death, a palace maid came to report: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here and wants to see you."

Hearing the title of "Eldest Princess", the Emperor became even more angry: "Look at your well-educated daughter. When her scheme against Chen Junfeng failed, she sacrificed herself and ruined the reputation of the royal family."

"And you, your adultery has been discovered by so many people, you are a slap in my face. You and your daughter, every one of you is my nemesis." The emperor was furious: "Get out, let her go, I don't want to see her."

It was no use for the eldest princess to cry at the door, as she was sent away by the palace servants.

The emperor spared the queen's life. Looking at the queen lying on the ground in a state of disgrace and coughing, he sneered: "Queen, if you are so unwilling to follow me, why did you enter the palace in the first place? Where is your Honglang? Let him come to pick you up. I will grant you your wish."

The Queen shook her head: "I don't know what the Emperor said."

"Why are you pretending? Isn't your Honglang my General Zhou, Zhou Hongguang?" The emperor had already inquired about the people around the queen, including her childhood sweetheart and cousin.

The Queen's pupils trembled as she flatly denied it: "Your Majesty, please understand. He is only my cousin. I have no ties with him and have never done anything to offend Your Majesty."

The emperor scoffed, "Haha, cousins ​​are interesting, don't you think, Queen?"

The queen was horrified. Why did the emperor know so much?

Who betrayed me?
