"My queen, my queen, please wake up."
When Su Man opened her eyes, she saw a round-faced palace maid in palace dress crying beside her.
Seeing that she was awake, the palace maid was delighted, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Su Man was about to speak when she started coughing, "Cough cough cough."
This body seemed to have just choked on water, and the foreign body sensation made her hold on to the ground and cough continuously.
Suddenly, a depressing voice was heard.
"You got rid of Mei'er's baby, and you still dare to act so arrogantly here!"
Su Man was coughing so hard that she couldn't speak. She barely raised her head. The man in front of her was wearing a bright yellow robe with a dragon pattern. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looked intimidating without even being angry.
Is this the Emperor?
---
Her original name was Guman, and she was the eldest daughter of the ancient prime minister.
Guman was trained as a queen since she was young, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, Prime Minister Gu intended to marry her to the third prince, who was also the prince with the greatest hope of inheriting the throne at that time.
But who would have thought that after an accidental encounter, Guman fell in love with the Sixth Prince Murong Hong at first sight.
Murong Hong would personally collect fireflies for her to use as a pillow because she complained of nightmares. He would also travel day and night to pick a branch of peach blossoms for her, just because she said the peach blossoms in the city were not as fragrant as those in the suburbs.
Guman's heart is occupied by Murong Hong.
After being opposed by Prime Minister Gu, he would rather starve himself and die to show his determination.
Prime Minister Gu was shrewd and wise, and did not want to get involved in the fight for the throne. After all, with his status, no matter who became the emperor, his daughter would be the queen.
However, despite all his scheming, he could not stop his love for his daughter.
For Guman, he and Murong Hong's confidants supported him to ascend the throne.
After ascending the throne, Murong Hong honored Guman as the queen. In addition, he also specifically married the concubine's daughter of a sixth-rank official as Shu Guiren.
Guman began to care a little, but Murong Hong, who was already the emperor, explained that he had received favors from their family and wanted to repay them.
Since she is the queen, she should be magnanimous and tolerant, so Guman didn't say anything else.
Fortunately, although Shu Guiren entered the palace, she was not favored, so Guman let down his guard.
After ascending the throne, Murong Hong still highly respected Prime Minister Gu and hinted to him to clear out his political enemy, the King of Beiping.
Prime Minister Gu knew that if the Prince of Beiping had not challenged him, he would have been the only one in power in the court. No emperor would tolerate a minister with so much power, so he hesitated to take action.
But at this moment, something happened to Guman.
...
When Guman was chatting with Shu Guiren beside the lotus pond, she was suddenly pushed into the water with great force. When she woke up, she was accused of having aborted Shu Guiren's child.
Murong Hong was furious and confined her to Kunning Palace, not allowing anyone to serve her.
In order to save his daughter, Prime Minister Gu had no choice but to work for Murong Hong and went to great lengths to bring down the King of Beiping.
During this period, there were dangers everywhere and it went without saying that we had to work very hard.
Afterwards, Murong Hong released Guman in the name of Prime Minister Gu's meritorious service, and he also had a loving relationship with her for a while.
However, not long after, Guman contracted a strange disease and became bedridden, leaving many doctors helpless.
Murong Hong came to accompany her every day, feeling very distressed.
Guman was afraid that Murong Hong would be sad, so she forced herself to go see him when she felt a little better, hoping to reassure him. But when she dragged her tired body to the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she heard teasing sounds inside.
"Mei'er played an indispensable role in getting that ancient fox to work for me this time."
"Your Majesty~ Mei'er faked her pregnancy to help you, but it was very tiring."
"Haha, Mei'er, it's hard for me to bow and apologize in front of everyone. I promise you, as long as Guman dies, you will be my queen."
"What if Prime Minister Gu disagrees?"
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. Soon, he will be confiscated and executed for treason."
"Your Majesty is wise~"
“…”
Guman was already in poor health, and upon hearing this, he became so angry that he fainted outside the hall.
When she woke up again, she was imprisoned. The only person beside her was Concubine Shu, who was dressed in the empress's attire. She looked completely different from her former respectful and gentle self.
It was also from her that Guman learned the truth.
It turns out that all the tenderness and sweetness, and the vows of love, were all fake.
Even so, Concubine Shu was still gloating, "Your Gu family has been ransacked. Poor Prime Minister Gu, your brother and sister-in-law are all going to be executed, and your mother who is seriously ill in bed is also going to be executed. Hehehe."
Guman was furious, but she could not protect herself and was strangled to death by Shu Guiren.
Guman's wishes: 1. Make Shu Meier die a miserable death (three stars); 2. Save the Gu family (four stars); 3. Make Murong Hong lose everything he cherishes, including the throne (five stars);
-
After receiving the memory, Su Man knew that this was the day she was falsely accused of having Shu Meir's child.
Guman tried desperately to explain, wanting Murong Hong to believe her, but what she didn't know was that this incident was planned by Murong Hong and Shu Mei'er. No matter how she explained, the blame would be put on her.
So Suman did not panic and cry like Guman, but calmly helped herself to the maid's hand and stood up.
At this moment, her clothes were soaked, and in this early spring season, it made people feel very cold.
But she still maintained her dignity as a queen and said calmly, "Your Majesty, why are you so harsh? You are the only one who knows whether it was me who did it, right?"
“…”
Facing Su Man's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Murong Hong suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that she knew about his and Mei'er's plan?
No, she was just a woman in seclusion, how could she see through his plan.
