All the things Emperor Tianwu had to say were said, and everyone had no doubts. Even if the Sixth Prince was officially settled, the matter of governing the country was officially settled. After kneeling down and worshipping, people left Zhaohe Palace. Feng Yuheng finally gave Emperor Tianwu another anti-inflammatory injection, and agreed to go to the palace every morning to give him injections and medicine, so they left with Xuan Tianming.

People came and left, but only the queen was left in this side hall.

Emperor Tianwu did not drive away the people, but waved his hand and retreated a group of servants, including Zhang Yuan. Finally, when there were only the emperor and the empress left in the side hall, the queen asked: "Is the emperor still waiting for that person to appear? If that person doesn't come for a long time, when do you plan to take back the position of queen of my concubine?"

Emperor Tianwu vaguely remembered that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he and the emperor went to Qiankun Palace to receive worship from all the ministers. He once sarcastically sarcasticized the queen who had never been wrong, and the words he said were extremely unpleasant. Now, thinking about it, it would be difficult for him to accept it himself.

He sighed and said, "You also know that I didn't know my mind at the beginning, and I couldn't control what I said and did. Why should the queen settle the account with me?" He looked at the queen with a tired look and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

The queen shook her head, found a chair and pulled it to the bed of Emperor Tianwu and sat down. She said, "I can't say I'm working hard, I'm just worried. There is one thing that I once thought the emperor didn't know. Later, Liu used it to threaten me. I was shocked after a few times. In fact, the emperor should know everything, but I just didn't say it. Keeping me on this throne is just to attract the people who are in the middle. If you don't turn against me, this identity is insignificant, but in this situation, he has been missing for many years, but I have become a good chess piece again."

"I have never regarded you as a pawn." Emperor Tianwu said to her seriously: "As the queen of Dashun, you have made contributions. I have ignored the harem for so many years, but regard you as a partner. It is a very comfortable thing to work with you to govern the world together. With my eyes, you can understand what it means, and with my words, you can execute it clearly than anyone else. I don't need too many words to work with you, everything is tacit. This is rare."

This was the first time Emperor Tianwu took the initiative to express his inner thoughts to the queen. The queen thought that if Emperor Tianwu was young, he would never be able to say such words. Even before experiencing the series of events of the Eighth Prince Concubine Yuan, he always acted as an emperor, maintained his arrogant dignity, and never took the initiative to praise her. But now, the old man said this, but she felt sad.

She smiled bitterly and said, "It sounds like you and me are not husband and wife, but just partners. I will accompany you to govern the world, support you in the harem, and sit in the position of queen to stabilize the people's hearts with the best manners. And you give me honor and power, but you are unwilling to give me a little bit of emotion. Xuan Zhan-" She called out the name of Emperor Tianwu, "Although I am not your first queen, I am also considered a legitimate wife. Do you know that compared to power, what a woman wants the most is the love of her husband?"

She said miserably, and her face that was decent all year round turned old in an instant.

But Emperor Tianwu asked back, "Not everyone thinks this way. Think about Liu, what she wants is not love, but power. Otherwise, which kind of woman would use such a magic trick to murder her husband?"

"She is also for her son." The queen said a very fair sentence, "Besides, you have been neglecting the harem for more than 20 years. How strong does a woman have to have a woman's relationship that has not been eaten up in the past twenty years? Xuan Zhan, don't blame others. Everything in the world has a cause and a result. These are the causes you planted. You must bear such consequences today. Fortunately, you have a few good sons, and Ah Heng has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the world will be ruined because of this."

The queen was stunned by the words of admonition, and for half a stick of incense, he came back to his senses and murmured, "Is it all my fault? I made their love turn into hatred, and I made them turn into what they are today?" He said, looking at the queen, and asked again, "What about you? I have not had sex with you for more than 20 years. Have you ever thought of harming me like the Liu family?"

The queen shook her head, "No. But it's not because I'm so great, but because I don't have a son, let alone you gave me the position of queen, below one person and above ten thousand people, so I'm different from them."

"What you mean is that if you have a son, if you are not a queen, you will be the same as that Liu?"

The queen thought for a while and said, "It's not necessarily true that everyone has a different personality. Just like Concubine Gu Xian and Concubine Shi De, they also have sons, didn't they do that? But don't think that if we don't do it, others won't do it. Think about why after Feng'er took the post of governing the country, he was awarded the first decree to Concubine Li! He was a minister and a son, and wanted to protect his biological mother, but he had to use this method. I can see that Feng'er felt very reluctant, but this also shows that Concubine Li must have some thoughts to be seen by Feng'er. Feng'er is a good child, but loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved. This is what he had to do, and it was his explanation to his brothers."

Emperor Tianwu did not regret giving the position of governor to Xuan Tianfeng, and the queen was very satisfied. Emperor Tianwu raised his hand and wiped it on his face, sighing, "I thought the throne was so good, and I wanted to keep it for Ming'er, but Ming'er... don't." As he spoke, he looked at the queen, but he raised his previous words again. He said, "Your words are right, not right. I really want to use you to attract Duanmu Anguo. He set up a winter palace in the northern border to raise the concubine of Dong, gave birth to so many children, and sent countless daughters outside. I also knew your identity many years ago, but you didn't know it at that time. But I never thought that after I led Duanmu Anguo, I would abolish you from the throne. You are not a pawn, but my queen."

These words seemed to be incredible to the queen's ears. She looked at Emperor Tianwu and wanted to find the flaws in the other party's face. Unfortunately, after searching for several times, she couldn't help but ask, "Be serious about this? Am I not a pawn?"

Emperor Tianwu nodded, "No, you are my queen, and no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, you will be their legitimate mother, and you will be their own mother for granted."

"But I am Duanmu Anguo's daughter! Are you not afraid that I will one day rebel? Are you not afraid that once Duanmu Anguo dies, I will try my best to avenge him?"

Emperor Tianwu laughed, "You won't."

"Why are you so sure?"

"By my eyes."

What else can the queen say? What she has worried about for so many years, but today I heard this answer. She sat there blankly, and for a while, she covered her face with her hands and started crying. This was the first time she cried so presumptuously since she became the queen, and even in front of the emperor, she ignored her image and couldn't stop crying.

The heart that has been hanging over the years has finally been relieved. She wants to say that she is so tired, she also wants to say that she is so happy, and even if she can't be the woman in your heart, she is just a nominal queen and just a partner, but she is also happy enough. What else can she ask for if the man she can keep in her heart trust?

Seeing the queen crying like this, Emperor Tianwu felt heartbroken for no reason. He wanted to raise his hand to comfort the other party, but he couldn't reach it. His body hurts when he moves, and he has to give up.

He put his hand down and was also thinking about the previous words of the queen. Indeed! The matter in this world focuses on cause and effect. He neglected the harem for more than 20 years for Concubine Yun. Even if the concubines had deep feelings for him in the past, they had almost gone through the past 20 years. It was already good not to become enemies, but it seemed normal for those who became enemies like Liu.

However, it would be better to take revenge on him alone, but it should not cause trouble to Dashun. Emperor Tianwu still had a clear distinction between this point. Now that he heard the queen crying, he was thinking about how to deal with the two people in the death row. He always valued family affection and blood, but this was the first time he was disappointed with a son to this extent.

Finally, the queen cried and she smiled at Emperor Tianwu, wiping the tears on her face while laughing, "It's because the emperor laughed, it's because my concubine was disgraceful."

Emperor Tianwu shook his head, "No."

"Since I am not a pawn, I will continue to be the queen of great conscience. Don't worry, Feng'er will not cause trouble in the country, and I will also manage the harem. As for that person... what should come will always come, and I will live up to the kindness but not the kindness. I can't even remember his appearance. Therefore, even if I come to the door, I don't have the intention to oppose the enemy. The emperor is at ease."

The queen expressed her opinion with Emperor Tianwu, which also gave herself a firm position. When she walked out of Zhaohe Palace, the haze accumulated in her heart over the years seemed to be swollen. Even Fangyi could see her changes. Although the queen's eyes were still red and swollen, Fangyi asked with a smile: "Is there a good thing about Empress?"

The queen nodded, put one hand on Fang Yi's wrist, and said excitedly: "From now on, we can live openly! We don't have to carry the big burden in our hearts!"

Fang Yi naturally understood what the "big baggage" she was referring to, and she became excited for a moment - "So, don't the emperor blame the empress? Don't mind your identity?"

"Yes! I am still the queen, and I will always be the lord of Dashun's harem. I will guard the Xuan family well until I die, and I will never allow anyone to make any decisions!"

This day was very exciting. Some people were beaten out of the death row when they were broken, some were beaten out of the death row, some were self-harmed but were able to reconnect with their whole body, and some people had removed their knots for many years and lived openly from now on.

Outside the palace, at this moment, another king was in the private room of Xianya Building, trying his best to coax the little woman in front of him, and kept saying to her - "If you care about the three beauties in the harem, just clean them up with your own hands, and Gu will never stop you. Also, if you miss your hometown, Gu promised you to come back at least once a year, or whenever you want, can you come back? I'll tell you-"
