The tears in her beautiful eyes brought him a strange sense of beauty.
"Actually...it's my fault. Every time I wanted to be honest with you, I was just...scared..."
After a long moment, Xiao Ling struggled out of his arms. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Chu thief, I want to ask you, will you... kill me?"
"No, I won't." Chu Yi shook his head. "Your Majesty is my wife. I have no reason to hurt you."
"Then... since you know my identity, do you still want to rebel?" Xiao Ling spoke anxiously again.
This time, Chu Yi looked at the empress in front of him and fell silent.
Seeing his attitude, Xiao Ling understood what he meant and his expression became conflicted.
really……
Things have come to this point. The Chu family has already rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate. It is indeed very difficult to salvage the situation.
Even if the Chu thieves are willing to surrender, what about others?
Chu Yi's third brother and the Chu family's subordinates have already committed acts of rebellion.

Well, just be a good queen. After all, the future prince will still have the blood of the Xiao family.
After all, my father owes the Chu family too much.
…
"Let me think about it, and then tell Your Majesty after I have thought it through."
I don’t know how much time passed before Xiao Ling heard such a helpless sigh.
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the hall.
Then, Chu Yan hurried forward, the big knife in his hand shining brightly.
"Brother, are you okay? Why did I hear that you entered the palace alone? Did something unexpected happen?"
Chu Yan looked at his elder brother in the imperial study for a moment, and finally felt relieved.
But when he looked to the side, he was stunned.
"Sister-in-law?"
"Why are you wearing the little emperor's clothes?"
Chu Yi: “…”
Xiao Ling: “…”
