Hong Gui walked into the courtyard. When Zhixin and Luer saw him, they were stunned for a moment. Then they looked at his hesitant expression and the imperial edict in his hand. Zhixin's heart sank inexplicably, as if he knew something.
"Eunuch Gui, are you here to announce the decree?" Zhixin said with a faint smile.
Hearing Zhixin ask this, Hong Gui's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he nodded heavily. He opened the imperial edict, looked at Zhixin, and said, "Queen Huo Zhixin accepts the edict."
"Long live long live, long live long live." Zhixin knelt down in front of the imperial edict. Although Hong Gui hadn't finished reading it, she had already guessed it in her heart.
Hong Gui continued to read, "Queen Huo Zhixin killed the imperial concubine and Long Zhong for no reason. Her crime is unpardonable. From now on, she will be deposed as queen and live in the cold palace forever!"
Although she was mentally prepared, as soon as Hong Gui finished reading the imperial edict, Zhixin's face turned pale instantly and her lips trembled slightly.
Living in the cold palace forever? A wry smile flashed in Zhixin's eyes. Ye Xun, Ye Xun, you are so good at issuing this imperial edict.
Killing the princess for no reason?
Is it for no reason? Why didn't you say that I was cheating on my husband and cuckolding you? Or do you think such an imperial edict will bring shame on you?
With a faint smile, Zhixin stretched out her hand, took the imperial edict from Hong Gui's hand, and said lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
The grace of not killing? Did he ever know that not killing would make her feel more uncomfortable than killing her.
Hong Gui stretched out his hand to help Zhi Xin and said helplessly: "My Lady, please be patient for a while. The Prime Minister and the General are already investigating the truth. When the Emperor calms down after some time, your position as Queen will be restored."
Hong Gui's words made Zhixin laugh, with a flash of pain in her eyes, "Eunuch Gui, I'm fine. I've been begging for this abolition of the imperial edict for a long time, and now it's finally here, isn't it?"
After saying that, Zhixin's eyes drooped. If she had read this imperial edict before, she would have jumped to the sky with joy. But now, her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
Get angry.
Knowing that Zhi Xin was feeling sad, Hong Gui said nothing more, "Mother, I'll take my leave first."
"Well, okay, Eunuch Gui, let's go slowly." Zhixin nodded lightly. After Hong Gui left, she turned around and gave an ugly smile to the stunned Lu'er, "Lu'er, Miss, I finally
You don’t have to be a queen anymore.”
"Little...Miss." Lu'er looked at Zhixin with a distressed expression and held her in his arms, "Miss, don't be sad."
"What a silly girl. Miss didn't want to be the queen in the first place. How could she be sad?" Even so, Zhixin's tears still flowed down unsatisfactoryly. Yes, she was not sad, she really wasn't sad at all.
