Chapter 432: Stepping on the High and Bowing to the Low, Hiding Deep Hatred
The Queen is the Emperor's wife after all. How can the Emperor treat the Queen like this?
Jianqiu felt more and more indignant. The queen was so good to the emperor, but the emperor never saw the queen's true heart.
"The slaves here are always flattering the powerful. Now that we are down and out, they will naturally not care about us."
"You are the only one who is willing to serve me now. I am sorry for you for being like this."
The Queen felt filled with guilt when she saw Jianqiu's bruised and battered appearance. She knew how loyal Jianqiu was to her, and she also understood that he had suffered so much torture because he was too loyal to her.
But now she didn't even have the right to call an imperial physician to treat Jianqiu, and she couldn't even leave the gate of Jingren Palace.
The once bustling Jingren Palace is now almost becoming a cold palace.
The queen, who had been under house arrest by the emperor for many days, clearly realized that the emperor would not let her go easily this time and that she was most likely doomed.
Thinking of this, the queen felt a little desperate. Perhaps this was her fate.
I originally thought that I could avenge Honghui, but now it seems that everything is in vain.
There was no way she could get justice for her son anymore, she was a useless mother.
"Jianqiu, do you think Honghui will hate me? He hates me for being incompetent and unable to seek justice for him."
At this moment, the queen felt a desire to talk.
"My queen, our eldest prince has always been sensible and well-behaved, and he loves you the most. How could he hate you?"
Upon hearing this, Jianqiu looked at the Queen with some distress and spoke to comfort her.
"Yes, my son Honghui is so sensible, but I was unable to protect him."
"I hate my sister for taking the emperor away, but I hate the emperor even more for being so cold and heartless."
At this moment, the queen spoke out everything that had been hidden in her heart for so many years.
She just hated the emperor, but she had not been able to hate him before, so she could only keep this hatred in her heart, and even transferred this hatred to her sister.
She was jealous of her sister for receiving the emperor's love, but she also understood that what happened back then had little to do with her sister. Although her sister and she were one legitimate daughter and one illegitimate daughter, there was no essential difference between them.
Both of them are just pawns of the family. The elder sister's marriage into the palace was just a move by the Ulanala clan to better win over the emperor, and the emperor was also willing to accept the surrender of the Ulanala clan.
He even made up the so-called love at first sight, but it was just to confuse the Eighth Prince and the late Emperor and make them relax their vigilance against the Emperor so that the Emperor could hide better in the dark.
So even if my sister was not that beautiful, she would definitely enter the palace and would definitely be "fallen in love with" by the emperor at first sight.
But she couldn't figure it out at that time, nor did she understand why her sister always looked at her with guilt in her eyes.
By the time she figured it all out, her sister had already died in her hands.
She hated her, hated why she treated her like this, hated why she was unwilling to explain everything to her.
Doesn't she really believe that I would be willing to believe what she said?
"My lady, you can't say that."
Jianqiu became nervous when she heard this, worried that someone had heard what she said.
After all, these words were extremely outrageous, but compared to this, she was more surprised why the Queen said this.
It was obvious that the Queen had always loved the Emperor the most. Even though the Emperor had hurt the Queen's heart like this, the Queen remained devoted to him.
Jianqiu thought so and asked this question.
"How could I love a murderer of my child?"
The queen looked at Jianqiu with cold eyes and spoke word by word.
There was nothing she couldn't say now. These words had been weighing on her mind for too long.
"My lady, but."
"Are you trying to say that Honghui's death has nothing to do with the emperor?"
The queen naturally noticed Jianqiu's confusion, and asked back with a sneer.
"Is there any hidden secret behind this matter?"
Jianqiu spoke carefully.
"Hidden secret?"
"Although the emperor was not directly responsible for Honghui's death, he is still closely related to this matter."
"After all, the Ulanara family and the emperor both want a true eldest son, so my Honghui is standing in their way."
"Otherwise, why is it that Honghui has a fever and is seriously ill, and I, as the concubine of the prince's palace, can't even find a doctor? Do you think that my sister, or the Ulanara family, is really so capable that they can reach into the prince's palace?"
When the queen thought of every detail of what happened, her eyes were filled with hatred.
"So, your majesty means that the emperor is behind this?"
Jianqiu looked at the queen in disbelief and spoke.
"Don't underestimate our emperor. There were his men watching the backyard of the palace. How could a man of his character allow a fire to break out in the backyard during the fight for the throne?"
The queen sneered and spoke.
"But why would the emperor treat the eldest prince like this? How could he have the heart to do this? This is also the emperor's child."
Jianqiu simply couldn't understand why the emperor did this. As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could the emperor be so cruel?
"Why can't you bear it? Isn't the child in Lady Nian's belly the emperor's own son?"
A mocking smile appeared on the queen's lips. There was no difference between her and her mortal enemy, Noble Lady Nian.
"For the emperor's great cause, he can naturally sacrifice everything. Anyway, as long as he ascends the throne, why would he be worried about not having women to give birth to his children?"
"My lady, you have suffered so much these years."
Jianqiu thought that she, as the Queen's personal maid, was unable to understand the Queen's intentions, and even thought that the Queen truly loved the Emperor and that the Emperor's coming would make the Queen happy.
I didn't expect that the person the Queen Mother hated the most was the Emperor. It was really hard for the Queen Mother to keep these secrets for so many years.
"That's nothing. I just hate myself for not being able to avenge Honghui."
The queen smiled faintly. Although she was in pain over the years, she was able to hold on thanks to her longing for Honghui.
But now that there is no hope of revenge at all, what is the point of her living?
"Miss."
Jianqiu saw the deathly look in the queen's eyes and cried out in fear.
"Your Majesty, there is still hope. The Emperor has not yet really abolished your position as Queen. As long as the Emperor calms down, we will definitely be able to find a way to avenge Honghui in the future."
Jianqiu quickly spoke to comfort the queen.
"The Emperor will not let me go."
"As for the position of Queen, it will most likely be given to his beloved concubine. How could he allow someone to covet his imperial power?"
The queen shook her head. She was not as optimistic as Jianqiu.
(I have my own personal setting for the past between the Queen and Chun Yuan. I think it will be more layered if I write it this way. I never thought that Queen Chun Yuan was a green tea, and I don’t think that the Queen would be a love-brained person. Anyway, the most hateful person in my book must be the Emperor, not anyone else!)
