The queen felt that this was only natural. A slave's life was not a life. Jiang Yi was not a slave, but to the Song family, she was a slave, even worse than Nanny Song who was beside her.
"Is that what the Queen thinks?" The Emperor sneered. "Then I tell you, she is the woman who bore me my children. I will not let her die."
The emperor today was completely different from before. The queen was stung by his cold gaze and asked in confusion, "What does the emperor mean by this?"
The emperor took a deep breath and suddenly looked at the queen seriously.
"Queen, aren't you tired of pretending to be a snake for so many years?"
"After all, I'm a little tired. I don't want to continue acting."
He suddenly made his point clear.
The queen didn't understand what these words meant, or rather, she understood but she didn't want to believe it.
She said, "It's not acting, how could it be acting? I am sincere to Your Majesty, how could you say that?"
"I don't believe that these past three years have all been an act."
"Even if it's acted at first, there's always a moment later where it becomes real, right?"
The emperor looked at the queen coldly, "I have understood my situation since I entered the palace. I know that if I want to survive, I must try my best to pretend to be stupid and loyal. Only in this way can I survive."
"Everything you do to the Queen is just a means to survive."
"I think these queens should understand."
The Queen murmured, "How could that be?"
She was crying and laughing below, but the emperor was sitting at the top, just watching the scene calmly, his face shrouded in darkness. The queen wanted to see his face clearly, to see if there was a trace of compassion on his face, but she couldn't see it, not at all.
He was so cold that he hardly seemed like a human being.
"How could Your Majesty treat me like this?" She suddenly said, "Even though I married Your Majesty because of my family, my protection of the Queen Mother and the Emperor was not fake, and my companionship over the years was not fake. I even wanted to betray my family for Your Majesty. I..."
The emperor sat there quietly listening to her words. He suddenly laughed, without any sarcasm, but simply because he found it funny.
"The Queen said she was protecting me and my mother, but who among those people back then didn't do it at the Queen's behest to embarrass me and my mother?"
"At this point, does the Queen still regard me as a fool?"
"It was originally just a political marriage. Even between me and the Queen, it's not even a marriage. Why does the Queen think I love you?"
"No, the relationship between me and the Queen has been fake for all these years."
"You lied to me?" The Queen suddenly looked at the Emperor fiercely, "How could you lie to me?"
"It's just gambling, how can it be called a lie?" The emperor said, "We are all acting. You know I'm acting, and I know you're acting. We don't expose each other, so we've been able to get by all these years."
"But now I don't want to act anymore. I want to make everything clear."
The Queen said, "No, I wasn't acting. I actually fell in love with the Emperor and wanted to live a good life with him."
"Your Majesty still needs me now. I can let you rule the country. Only I can do that."
She already had a plan in her mind that she would be the most useful person to the emperor.
"Does the emperor want to be a puppet for the rest of his life?"
The emperor suddenly looked outside the hall. The sunshine outside was very warm, and he felt a little longing.
"Of course not, but I don't need the Queen's help. I will take it back bit by bit myself."
He suddenly walked down the jade steps and headed outside.
The queen chased after him, but the emperor walked so fast that she only had time to grab a corner of his clothes.
"You can't do this to me."
"You were acting, but I took it seriously. I betrayed my family for you. You should love me."
"If you do this, I will tell my father, and he will not forgive you."
However, the emperor simply brushed her hand away.
"Don't you feel even a little bit guilty towards me?" the queen asked loudly again.
The emperor said, "It was just a play. Would the queen have true feelings for someone who once toyed with you, and would she feel guilty?"
Then he left.
The child has been sent to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi is puzzled. How could the queen send the child to her?
Seeing the emperor walking away, Jiang Yi propped himself up and sat up.
"What's going on?" she asked.
The emperor said, "I have come to a showdown with the queen."
"What did you say?" Jiang Yi asked in surprise.
The more it is at this time, the more we need to lie dormant.
Just endure for another month, and everything will be fine after this month.
Keep the queen stable, at least you won't alert the enemy.
But now the emperor and the queen have fallen out, and Jiang Yi suddenly understood why the two children were sent back.
"Don't worry about me," the emperor said. "I have a way out. I won't let you and your child suffer no matter what."
"I know I shouldn't be like this. I used to be very patient. I've been playing the same game for three years. But recently, or rather, after opening up to you, I suddenly feel like I can't go on any longer."
“Every moment with others is torture.”
"I feel sorry for you. I shouldn't do this."
"Even though I know that those are all fake, I still feel sorry for you."
He put his arms around Jiang Yi and brought the child over to show her.
Jiang Yi sighed. Now that things had come to this, she naturally had nothing else to say.
