After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

When the queen anxiously broke into the emperor's bedroom holding the scroll, the old emperor saw that it was her who came in, and hurriedly stood up and walked to her.

He asked with concern: "Shishi, are you okay? Did that bastard bully you?" The nervous expression on her face was a little unusual.

It was as if he was certain that Prime Minister Shen would bully her.

Why did they bully her? There seemed to be only one reason, that is, she looked exactly like Shen Xiangguo’s ex-wife.

At this moment, the queen felt colder than ever before. She had been confused all her life, but at this moment her mind was surprisingly clear.

However, compared to having a clear mind and causing herself great pain, she would rather be a little confused.

She endured the pain in her heart and looked at this man who was more than 20 years older than her. When she was young, she was deceived by him and conquered by his fierce love offensive. She had to compromise and willingly share him with so many women in the palace, just because he told her that she was the only woman he had ever loved in his life.

But as an emperor, it is impossible for her to be the only woman. The only thing he can give her is the power above everyone else, to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and his wholehearted love.

As for other women, they were just for fun and he didn't love them.

She believed him and followed him for more than 20 years. She foolishly believed him for more than 20 years.

As a result, someone came to tell her today that all this was just a joke and she was deceived by the man she had loved for more than 20 years!

The queen suppressed her anger and said to the old emperor, "Are you asking me, or are you asking the person in your heart through me?"

When the old emperor heard that this was not right, he was stunned and frowned, saying, "What do you mean by this?"

He was a cunning man, but he had already guessed what the queen meant. He knew who told her that.

Shen Guihong, you really can't wait.

As a couple for many years, the queen had never understood the old emperor, because in her eyes, he had always been mature, steady, and unfathomable.

Just like now, it is the same.

It was clearly his fault, but her questioning at this moment made him unhappy.

The queen suddenly thought that over the years, whenever she had the slightest suspicion of him, he would get angry, angry that she did not trust him.

Every time, she was defeated because of this. Now thinking about it, she was really too easy to deceive.

But this time, she didn't want to be fooled.

"Do you still want to deceive me?" The Queen's voice suddenly rose, and she called out the old emperor's name directly, "Zhao Wenqing, how long are you going to deceive me? Twenty years, fifty years, or a hundred years!"

It was the first time that the old emperor saw the queen, who was always gentle, get so angry.

There was a hint of violence in his eyes, but after all, they were the one who had slept in the same bed for more than twenty years, and she was a good substitute for him. In fact, he was still very satisfied with her.

Selfishly, he didn't want to break the current status quo.

So he decided to continue fooling her.

"Shishi, what's wrong with you? Did you hear any rumors? Don't believe them."

"Haha, rumor, then what's the story with this painting?"

With a rustling sound, the queen unfolded the scroll she had been holding in her hand. Suddenly, a picture of a lady appeared in front of the old emperor.

When the old emperor's eyes fell on the painting of the lady, something was wrong with him. He seemed to have returned to the scene when he first saw her. At first sight, he fell deeply in love with her.

It was a pity that she was already married and was his most proud right-hand woman. However, the whole world belonged to the king, and there was nothing he could not get.

In order not to disappoint the loyal minister, he did not hesitate to use his own sister to appease Shen Guihong and grant him marriage. In this way, he took his wife and gave him another one. The two of them could be said to be even. He planned all this well.

But this ungrateful Shen Guihong openly disobeyed the order and refused to accept his imperial sister. He also said that he already had a wife and that they were now in love and would love each other till old age.

In a rage, he imprisoned Shen Guihong for disobeying the imperial order. He did not order his death, after all, he was a talented person, and he was still waiting for him to beg for mercy, compromise, and then willingly divorce his wife and marry his sister.

As a result, he did not wait for Shen Guihong's compromise, but instead waited for the beauty he had been thinking about day and night, the woman he loved most in his life.

Ye Zhiqiu.

She came to beg for mercy, completely unaware of his intentions towards her, and thus she fell into the tiger's mouth.

Afterwards, Ye Zhiqiu stayed by his side, changed her name, and became his beloved concubine. And Shen Guihong in prison had to accept reality and marry his sister.

The old emperor came out of his reminiscence, his eyes suddenly became sharp, he snatched the scroll from the queen's hand, and said angrily: "Who told you to touch this painting?"

When the Queen saw his nervous look, she felt so heartbroken that she almost suffocated as she realized how she didn't know what Prime Minister Shen said was true.

"So, what Shen Xiangguo said is true. In your heart, I have always been just a substitute."

The old emperor became annoyed seeing her struggling with this issue.

"Since you know now, I won't hide it from you." He packed up the scroll, cherishing it as if it were his beloved, and said nonchalantly, "You are lucky to be the substitute for the woman I love most in my life. Be good and don't make trouble. I will treat you as always."

At this point, he no longer pretended. As an emperor, he would never allow others to challenge his authority, even if it was the woman he loved the most, let alone just a substitute.

The queen's eyes turned cold and she sneered twice: "Haha, then I really want to thank your majesty for your favor."

"It's good that you know." After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized his safety at the moment, and then looked at the queen's face, "You, go out and find Shen Guihong now. No matter what method you use, you must hold him back for me. Don't let him kill me. Go quickly!"

The queen couldn't believe that these words actually came from the old emperor's mouth. The meaning of his words just now couldn't be more obvious. He was afraid of death and actually wanted her to sacrifice in exchange for his safety. He knew that she looked like the thief's ex-wife, and asked her to go over. Isn't that calling her... despicable and shameless!

The queen swayed and almost fell to the ground. The old emperor subconsciously supported her and felt a little bit sorry for the sad look in her eyes.

"Queen, please bear with it for now. Nothing is more important than my life or death."

The queen stared blankly at the old emperor who was so close to her, and suddenly realized that his temples were already gray. Yes, this bastard is now over 50 years old. But she is only in her 30s. She was deceived by him when she was a teenager. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed.

She is really blind to treat this old thing as a treasure.
