Chapter 330: Please, take me out of the palace
The threat was quite effective.
Jiang He knew that she might really do something like this when she was emotionally aroused, so he stopped running.
He clenched his fists, feeling as if he was in an ice cellar and all the blood in his body was frozen.
Ever since he was almost caught by her last time, he had been worried about this day.
Sooner or later, she would be discovered in the palace, but I didn't expect her to be discovered so early.
The queen was shocked and angry. She couldn't believe that he had really entered the palace. "Turn around."
Jiang He stood there in a daze, not moving.
The Queen's anger grew even more intense as she said in a stern voice, "I told you to turn around!"
Jiang He had no choice but to turn around very slowly. After turning around, he just lowered his head and did not dare to look at her.
Seeing how cowardly he was, the queen stood up in shock and anger and walked towards him. When she got in front of him, she reached out to slap him, but when she saw the eunuch's clothes on him, she couldn't bear to do it.
The eunuch's clothes hurt her eyes deeply.
She asked in a trembling voice: "Why did you enter the palace? Didn't you already have a wife and children?"
Jiang He was like a child who was caught doing something wrong, silent.
"Speak up!" The queen's eyes were red, and she tried hard not to let her tears fall. "You dare not say what you do, are you still a real man?"
As if she had thought of something, she poked at his wound and said, "Yes, you are a eunuch now, so you are naturally cowardly!"
The eunuch's voice was like a knife stabbing Jiang He's heart, causing him to bleed profusely. He swallowed the bitterness in his throat and said, "How can a lowly servant like me be worthy of speaking to the Empress?"
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."
"Snap!" A crisp sound.
The queen slapped her in the face.
Jiang He looked at her in astonishment. Seeing the slap marks on her face, he asked anxiously, "What are you doing?"
"Tell me what happened back then." The queen clenched her teeth, her eyes determined, "Don't try to deceive me, Jiang He, tell me the truth of that year!"
If she still doesn't know the hidden story, then she has been queen for twenty years in vain.
She had a vague guess that behind this secret was probably a truth that she could not bear.
Jiang He sighed, "Time has changed, why do you have to cling to the truth?"
"Because I am a person, not a puppet!" The queen's eyes were filled with tears. "I am a living person, I need to know this."
Jiang He looked at her steadily, his eyes full of sadness, but he said nothing.
His attitude made the queen more certain of her guess.
She gritted her teeth, trying hard to hold back her impending collapse, looked at the man's face, and spoke out her words one by one.
"Did the Chen family threaten you and the Jiang family back then? Was the Jiang family implicated because of me? The Jiang family didn't collude with the enemy or betray the country, right? Even your entry into the palace was because of me."
Even if Jiang He didn't say it, she could probably guess the ins and outs of the matter.
As a daughter of the Chen family, she knew very well how cruel the Chen family was.
When she wanted to elope with Jiang He and nearly brought disaster to the Chen family, there was no way the Chen family would let the Jiang family go easily.
In addition, after entering the palace, she was unwilling to be a pawn of the Chen family and give birth to children with Emperor Ming, which completely angered the Chen family.
The Chen family will not take action against her, but will only blame everything on the Jiang family and vent their anger on them!
Come to think of it, all the misfortunes that the Jiang family had suffered, including all 100 or 30 members of the Jiang family, were caused by her!
It turned out that she had misunderstood Jiang He for so many years.
She is the culprit!
After thinking this through, the queen felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she fell straight to the ground.
Jiang He was startled, and quickly reached out to support her, anxiously saying: "It's been so long since the incident, why do you bother to know all this and add to your troubles?"
He was afraid that she would not be able to bear it if she knew all this one day, so he did not dare to appear in front of her.
They were in love with each other back then, so how could he bear to push his beloved girl into the arms of another man?
But the Chen family threatened him with the lives of his mother and sister. If he dared to elope with her, the entire Jiang family would be buried with him.
Between the Jiang family and her, he chose the Jiang family and personally sent her into the palace.
But he didn't expect that even if he gave up his beloved, he still couldn't save the Jiang family. The Chen family pressed on step by step. His mother died in worry and fear, and his sister was forced to marry far away and could never return.
What he didn't expect was that she didn't follow the Chen family's orders to consummate the marriage with Emperor Ming, which made Emperor Ming notice something unusual and found out the secret between them.
The emperor was furious, and in order to protect themselves, the Chen family accused the Jiang family of treason, resulting in the death or exile of 130 members of the Jiang family.
In the huge Jiang family, he was the only one left.
When he was imprisoned, Emperor Ming gave him a way to live.
Let him enter the palace as a eunuch.
He originally wanted to die to show his integrity, but Emperor Ming used her as a threat, threatening to punish her if he did not obey.
In order to protect his beloved, he chose to live in humiliation.
Looking at her from afar and knowing that she is safe is enough.
Jiang He's words made the queen feel disheartened. She had resented him for so many years, but she hated the wrong person.
She grabbed his clothes tightly and said, "Since you are in the palace, why don't you come to me, why don't you tell me the truth?"
Jiang He looked away, "I am already in this broken state, how can I let you see me? Wanyi, I am satisfied just to be able to watch you from afar."
He always kept Emperor Ming's words in mind.
If she dared to show up in front of her, he would depose the queen and send her to the cold palace.
He is already like this, how can he implicate her?
She should just be a queen and have no worries about food and clothing.
The queen felt even more distressed and cried, "But do you know that I have always hated you? I hate that you abandoned me!"
"Hate me if that's how you can vent your anger."
Jiang He showed a bitter smile, helped her up, and slowly tidied her appearance, "Wanyi, you still have a bright future. Leave here and don't come again. Just pretend you have never seen me."
"You are the queen, and I am just a eunuch in the cold palace. How can a pearl be stained by mud?"
"No, I won't leave."
The queen held his hand and said, "Jiang He, please take me away. Take me away from this cannibalistic place. I am tired of being the queen and I am tired of this palace."
"Let's get out of here and find a place where no one knows us, just the two of us, okay?"
She looked at Jiang He expectantly, wanting to hear a positive answer from him.
She had asked this question more than 20 years ago, but for various reasons, they missed so much and the Jiang family was implicated.
Now she is a useless person. The Chen family will not keep an eye on her, and Emperor Ming no longer needs her. These people will not care whether she is dead or alive.
As long as Jiang He is willing to take her away, she is willing to give up everything and leave with him.
Would Jiang He be willing?
The queen's heart was in her throat. She looked at him nervously, and the more she looked, the heavier her heart felt.
"Jiang He, take me away."
"My lady, you are the queen."
Jiang He's words ruthlessly shattered her expectations.
He brushed her hand away and bowed to her respectfully. "I will pretend I didn't hear what you said just now. I am already a eunuch and it's not worth it."
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, you should go back. Your servant will respectfully send Your Majesty off."
