Long Qingyi just focused on burning the letter in her hand. After the letter was completely burned to ashes, Long Qingyi looked at the male favorite in front of her whom she used to love very much.
"Suifeng, you have been following me since I was the eldest princess." Long Qingyi's eyes were filled with reminiscence, and her tone was also filled with a hint of melancholy.
Although she had many male favorites in the palace, there were only a few she could truly trust. Suifeng was an old man who followed her, so naturally she took better care of him.
When Suifeng heard Long Qingyi's words, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. It was because he had been with Long Qingyi for a long time that he could accurately perceive Long Qingyi's likes and dislikes, and could also distinguish the situation he was in.
"Your Majesty, Suifeng has been with your Majesty for nine years, six months and three days." Suifeng said as he knelt deeply in front of Long Qingyi and did not raise his head for a long time.
"It's been so long." Long Qingyi slowly closed her eyes, her voice trembling slightly. "Then why did you betray me?"
Suifeng's body trembled after hearing this, but he did not raise his head. He knew that he was too anxious after all, which allowed Long Qingyi to discover the problem.
Seeing Suifeng didn't say anything, Long Qingyi curled her lips into a bitter smile. She always knew that men were the most unreliable. Even her royal brother, who was related to her by blood, still plotted against her in the end.
But everyone always has a lucky mentality, and she is the same. When she first met Suifeng, Suifeng was just a down-and-out scholar, and his mother was about to be sold to a brothel by his alcoholic father.
She really couldn't bear to see it, so she helped Suifeng once. From then on, the two began to have intersections. Finally, Suifeng officially entered her mansion and became her male favorite during the cold winter.
He begged her on his knees to go to the brothel to save his mother, and any conditions were acceptable. So she jokingly asked Suifeng to be her male lover, and Suifeng agreed without hesitation. Although she was shocked by Suifeng's happiness, she also knew that it was not the time to talk.
Then she asked her personal maid to take people with Suifeng. Later she learned that Suifeng was too late and his mother was killed by some men with special fetishes, so she found an excuse to send Suifeng's father to jail.
From then on, Suifeng, free from all worries, stayed by her side and became her male lover. Suifeng never did anything out of line in these years.
That's why his impatient behavior just now made her suspicious, and it was this little suspicion that made her test it out.
"Speak! Are you mute?" Long Qingyi's expression was full of anger, and the corners of her eyes were still a little wet.
The man who had been by her side for many years finally stabbed her in the chest with the blade of betrayal, making her heart seem to break in two and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
"Your Majesty, Suifeng... has nothing to defend." Suifeng's muffled voice came from his lowered head.
"Bastard!" Long Qingyi walked up and kicked Suifeng down.
After kicking him down, Long Qingyi still felt unsatisfied, so she grabbed Suifeng's collar and forced Suifeng to face her.
She didn't believe he had nothing to say to her. If he said he was wronged, she would believe it. She didn't believe, and didn't want to believe, that the guards' meticulous care for nearly ten years was all fake.
If even feelings are fake, then what is real? What is fake?
Suifeng's eyes were filled with guilt, but he didn't make any excuses. He just reminded Long Qingyi word by word: "Your Majesty, you are the empress."
The two words "Empress" seemed to have some magic power, causing Long Qingyi to slow down the strength in her hands and finally let go slowly.
Empress is a respectful title for others, but for Long Qingyi, who knew the truth from the beginning, it was like a joke.
"Empress? Do you think I want to be the empress?" Long Qingyi smiled self-deprecatingly.
If Long Qingyi really wanted the position of empress, why would her younger brother be the one to take the throne? You have to know that in the beginning, she was the heir most preferred by her father.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!!!" Eunuch Quan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
This is already the final stage of the late emperor's plan, and there must be no problems. Otherwise, he would not have stayed by the new emperor's side after the late emperor's death.
The purpose is to give Long Qingyi a helping hand when she can't hold on, and it also means supervision.
Since Long Qingyi took this position, there has been no mistakes, so everyone just lets Long Qingyi do whatever she wants.
He had thought that Long Qingyi would hold on to the end, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly give up now. The reason why Long Qingyi couldn't hold on was just a little male favorite.
For a moment, Eunuch Quan looked at Suifeng with murderous intent, as if he wanted to pull out Suifeng's tendons and skin him alive.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Or does Eunuch Quan want to send me down now to see my damned brother?" Long Qingyi took a step sideways, standing between Suifeng and Eunuch Quan, her eyes fierce.
"I dare not. You are His Majesty, not the eldest princess. Don't claim to be wrong next time." When Eunuch Quan saw Long Qingyi blocking his way, he withdrew his gaze and bowed respectfully.
He could take Suifeng's life at any time, but not the eldest princess. The former eldest princess, now the empress, was someone he had to respect and was also an indispensable part of the late emperor's plan.
When Long Qingyi saw Eunuch Quan retreat, she didn't show it on her face, but she was relieved in her heart.
You have to know that Eunuch Quan is the hidden number one master in the palace. If Eunuch Quan insists on taking action, she will have no chance to save Suifeng.
Then she looked at Suifeng with disappointment, and her voice gradually turned cold: "Take him away."
Suifeng was completely stunned when Long Qingyi said that she didn't want to be the empress. He thought that Long Qingyi was extremely obsessed with power, but in the end, the person who was at the top of the power was unwilling to touch power at all.
However, he had seen the confrontation between Eunuch Quan and Long Qingyi just now, so he didn't say anything. He just kowtowed heavily to Long Qingyi, then turned around and left with the guards who rushed in.
"If you want me to act according to the plan, it's best not to do anything unnecessary." Seeing Eunuch Quan staring at Suifeng with a cold look, Long Qingyi warned him directly.
You must know that the prince has already sent troops, and the countries of Cangjie and Minglan are also in chaos. Now is the last moment. Once she gives up, the country of Gan will no longer have the possibility of sending troops to Cangjie and Minglan.
Naturally, there is no possibility of unifying the country.
