Chapter 74 Puppet Girl vs. Magician (9)
"I knew you would come back to see me." The old queen was lying on the hospital bed, not surprised at all by the girl in front of her whose appearance had not changed from forty years ago.
But no matter how well she took care of herself, time had left its mark on her, and the joy from the bottom of her heart made the corners of her eyes full of fine lines.
"You are really amazing." Shi Yi held her hand and carefully stroked the lines left by time on her hand, praising her from the bottom of his heart.
How much effort must have been put into governing the kingdom to be praised by everyone now.
"You said that you hope I can become a queen admired by everyone, and I did it." The queen's expression was full of pride.
She was not proud of her own achievements, but because of her achievements, she was proud to see the person who was important to her again.
Shi, to her, meant more than just the puppet girl who looked very good in her youth.
"You must have had a hard time these years." Seeing her struggling to sit up, Shi Yi picked her up.
"I must be ugly now. My skin is loose, my eyes are full of fine lines, and my hair has become sparse." The queen avoided Shi Yi's sight, not wanting her to see the signs of her aging.
Even if she exaggerated this aging.
"Now you are more elegant, more calm, and more like a pearl." Shi Yi smiled and held her hand that was covering her face.
The beautiful girl that Shi Yi had seen before is now very old. But the aging of age did not stop the beauty hidden in the bones of the once beautiful girl. Even though she was old, she still had clean makeup and neat clothes, maintaining the proper dignity.
"Sometimes, I really envy you." The queen did not let her move her hand away.
She had imagined meeting Shi many times before, but not when her physical condition was so bad.
"You are also the object of envy of thousands of girls in the kingdom." Shi Yi looked at her with a smile.
In the past, if a woman in the kingdom was not married at an old age, she would be ridiculed and looked down upon by countless people, so many girls would find someone to marry early for the sake of face. But now, whether a woman gets married depends entirely on whether she has found a suitable partner. If there is no suitable partner, you will not be looked down upon even if you stay single for your whole life.
The reason why the people have such changes is because of the queen's example.
In order to ensure the freedom of marriage for girls, the queen has issued many laws and used a lot of funds to support women to start their own businesses.
This country now relies not only on men but also on women. This is the real gender equality.
"Didn't you say before that you felt that we were connected by blood?"
"Well?"
"I asked someone to check." The queen paused, "You are my biological sister."
Shi Yi was surprised. This is not in the client's memory at all.
Speaking of which, this is a big scandal in the palace.
The birth of twins has always been regarded as an ominous sign by the kingdom. Two twins with the same appearance are even regarded as a sign of the kingdom's imminent destruction.
The queen fainted after giving birth to the twins. Her mother, who came to the palace to accompany her in childbirth, took the initiative to let her confidant strangle the older princess.
But this confidant had ulterior motives and suffocated the eldest princess to pretend to be dead and took her home. She was a crazy cultist who worshipped the power of witches and secretly made some medicines. The princess who was picked up and brought home just happened to be her best experimental guinea pig.
After many experiments, the young princess became a useless puppet and was abandoned by her.
The queen told Shi Yi about what happened back then, and Shi Yi was a little shocked, "No wonder we both have amazing beauty and a kind of familiarity and love for each other engraved in our bones and blood."
It turned out that the client and the queen were sisters.
"This throne should have been yours." The queen coughed, "I have only kept it for you all these years. I have been waiting for you to come back."
Because of her birth, her sister was almost killed and became a puppet, and she has been wandering outside. Every time she thought of it, she felt painful and regretful enough. Now, it is time for her to return to her original owner.
"No," Shi Yi shook his head, "This throne should have been taken by you who has both ability and talent. You are worthy of being a real queen."
Even if the client was still alive, her character was not tough enough and she could not bear the responsibility of a kingdom at all. Therefore, the throne will inevitably fall to the queen.
"Every night before I go to bed, I wonder why I didn't send someone to investigate earlier, but waited until you disappeared completely from the kingdom before I suspected this matter, and wasted so many years with you in vain." The queen could not hide her pain.
She felt that she had sinned all her life. The reason why her sister suffered all this was because of her. But in the past forty years, she could not do anything for her sister.
"I am very happy to see you again." Shi Yi hugged her tightly, "I am glad that we are really sisters. I suddenly feel grateful to the person who turned me into a puppet. If it weren't for her, I would have suffocated to death long ago. Even if I were alive, I would definitely be old and ugly now, and you wouldn't be able to recognize me."
"Sister, I owe you all this." The queen shouted out the name she had always wanted to call.
"What do these things have to do with you?" Shi Yi patted the back of her head, "Look, I'm young and free now, how wonderful. Didn't you always say you envy me?"
"The life I'm living now should be yours." The queen was still persuading Shi Yi, "I don't have much time left, but you are forever young, you can always lead this kingdom and take it to a farther and wider place."
"You don't owe me anything. Not at all. Everything I've experienced is what I should have experienced." Shi Yi was very open-minded.
The real client's wish was fulfilled, and she had reincarnated with a satisfied soul. She would never know the truth again. Although there was a little regret, the ending of this life was good enough for the client.
"This is a kingdom that belongs to you alone." Shi Yi corrected her, "Every blade of grass and every brick and tile in the kingdom are all built by you with all your effort. It has nothing to do with me. The only connection between me and this kingdom is that you are my biological sister."
The tears swirling in the queen's eyes finally fell, "I am very proud to have a sister like you."
"I'm proud of you." Shi Yi patted her chest proudly.
"I have no regrets in my death." The tears in the queen's eyes finally fell.
She had been burdened with responsibility and guilt for her whole life, and now she could finally let it go.
