A raging fire broke out in the Lanchi Palace, setting Xia Zhiqing's three thousand strands of black hair and gorgeous clothes on fire.
But she seemed to feel no pain. She walked towards Sheng Beidi and said, "Minglang, our hearts will be together forever. Even if we go to hell, we will go together."
Sheng Beidi struggled and shouted, knocking on the doors and windows desperately, but to no avail.
"Xia Zhiqing, stop dreaming! The person in my heart is Zhu Xianyue, and will always be Zhu Xianyue!"
Hearing this, Xia Zhiqing frowned slightly. In her life, she had made one wrong move after another, and in the end, she had gained nothing.
Then she would fight for herself, and even if she died, she would let her bones be buried together with Emperor Shengbei.
"Minglang, Minglang, how could you not see? The marks on the Empress' body were all caused by her own actions. You two never slept together at all. What you were drunkenly dreaming about that night was nothing more than a wooden chair in the Pepper Room."
"The Empress is a highly skilled doctor. She is not pregnant at all. The pregnant woman... is your Qing'er."
Xia Zhiqing stroked her belly.
She had consulted the imperial physician and was found to be pregnant.
It was just because she was too worried and the fetus was unstable. She had some spotting a few days ago, but she thought it was menstrual bleeding and didn't take it seriously.
Yesterday, Zhu Xianyue sent someone to tell her the truth so that she would not continue to be confused.
Xia Zhiqing was grateful to Zhu Xianyue, but she had nothing to give her, so she decided to take Shengbei Emperor away for her. She wrote another letter and sent it to the Eastern Jin Emperor, informing him that Shengbei Emperor and Zhu Xianyue had always been at odds, and that they weren't even husband and wife. She hoped that the Eastern Jin Emperor wouldn't vent his anger on Zhu Xianyue because of Shengbei Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Shengbei began to howl like a ghost.
Zhu Xianyue never loved him and was always calculating towards him.
Xia Zhiqing, who truly loves him, was heartbroken by him and now would rather take her child and be buried in the sea of fire with him.
"Minglang, the three of us will be together forever..."
Xia Zhiqing pounced on Sheng Beidi and bit the man's lips hard, as if she wanted to eat Sheng Beidi bite by bite.
Emperor Shengbei couldn't escape and closed his eyes in regret.
The raging fire in the Lanchi Hall burned for three whole days, and no one went to put out the fire.
Three days later, the dust settled, and Shengbei's jade seal was also buried.
From then on, there was no Shengbei in the world.
…
The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was named Xiao Yun. He had an upright figure, a high nose bridge, and handsome facial features.
At this moment, he pursed his lips and looked at the letter left by Xia Zhiqing.
"Empress Zhu Xianyue of Shengbei was originally the most beautiful woman in the Yuan Kingdom. She was given to Emperor Shengbei as a concubine."
The Emperor of Eastern Jin said indifferently.
The servants dared not breathe.
Because the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was moody and would behead people at will.
He remained noncommittal about the contents of the letter. However, the Queen of Shengbei was still somewhat useful.
Every country has pillars, no matter how weak the country is or how incompetent its rulers are.
The blind loyalty ingrained in their bones made several officers and soldiers of Shengbei choose death over surrender.
The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty valued talents and tried every means to recruit them to surrender, but failed.
And Zhu Xianyue is the best chess piece given to him by God.
He wanted to use this rumored most beautiful queen to break the pride of Shengbei's soldiers.
But at this moment, a soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Queen Shengbei, dressed in a charming red dress, is standing on the city wall, preparing to sacrifice her life for her country!!!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Eastern Jin threw away the letter and quickly rode away.
