After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

"Please, Queen, make the decision for me!" Li Jichuan knelt on the ground, his words full of earnestness and sadness. At this moment, he put aside all the so-called dignity and pride of a man.

Lu Lingyuan's gaze slowly moved away from Princess Qingping's stubborn face, with a complicated expression.

She was the one who pushed for this marriage in the first place, but now it has turned out like this.

"Prince consort!" Lu Lingyuan's voice was low and powerful. "Qingping was impulsive and violated the law. Your Majesty and I will punish him according to the law. But as a prince consort, you did such a thing. Don't you have any fault at all?"

Li Jichuan trembled slightly when he heard this, and his face turned pale as he lowered his head. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end he only let out a low sigh.

"As a son-in-law of the emperor, you not only disregarded the dignity of the royal family, but also had a concubine outside and gave birth to a child with her. Even if Qingping did everything wrong, she is still the princess of the late emperor and your majesty's sister. How can you humiliate her like this!" Lu Lingyuan's voice became more and more severe, and every word was like a knife, piercing Li Jichuan's heart.

At the beginning of their marriage, Li Jichuan was able to accommodate Qingping and tolerate her temper and occasional unreasonable behavior.

But later, the two began to quarrel frequently, and when Qingping got angry, they would even fight.

Li Jichuan's changes over the years are even more regrettable. He exudes a sense of decadence and is unable to recover. He has been in the Ministry of Personnel for several years, but still has achieved nothing. His position has remained the same and there has been no progress.

On the other hand, the Princess Changle's husband Pei Yanzhi is a different story. Over the years, his career has been smooth sailing. He was appointed as an official in another post the year before last, and his achievements were remarkable. He is deeply loved by the people. When he returns one day, promotion is just around the corner.

Even Princess Yong'an's husband has now entered the Ministry of Works and served as the Minister of Works.

In comparison, Li Jichuan was left far behind by them, which made Princess Qingping even more annoyed with him.

"I am also wrong in this matter, but she should never have cruelly taken the life of that innocent child." Li Jichuan's voice was low and trembling, as if every word carried a heavy burden, which made him almost unable to breathe. He knelt on the ground, his face twisted, his hands clenched into fists, looking so helpless and desolate.

Princess Qingping looked at this scene, and unexpectedly a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. There was a bit of sarcasm and contempt in that smile, "Hahahaha..." Her laughter was crisp and unbridled, echoing in the air, forming a sharp contrast with the tranquility around her, and it seemed particularly harsh.

"Li Jichuan, you are really incompetent! If you want to cheat, then you can cheat. Why do you have to make up such a poor excuse to cover up your crime?" Princess Qingping's words were as sharp as ice cones, and every word pierced Li Jichuan's heart, making his face turn as pale as paper in an instant. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Over the years, how much benefit have you, the Duke of Xin, gained from me? Don't you have any idea? Now you want to take a concubine and have a child. Are you thinking of taking away my family property? Besides, I can't have children. Is this all my fault?" Princess Qingping's tone was full of anger and unwillingness. Her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire as she stared directly at Li Jichuan. The anger and disappointment in her eyes were like a blazing flame that almost swallowed him.

"You..." Li Jichuan opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. His face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly, as if even breathing had become difficult.

"For an incompetent and selfish man like you, I am already showing special mercy by not beating you to death!" Princess Qingping's words were full of determination and disdain.

"You want a divorce? Humph, I tell you, don't even think about it! I want to divorce you!" Princess Qingping's voice suddenly rose, exploding in the air like thunder, shocking everyone present. Others might like a man like him, but she didn't like him at all!

"Divorce? You...since ancient times, has there ever been a woman who divorced a man?" Upon hearing this, Li Jichuan's face instantly became ferocious, and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.
