Married to the Cruel Emperor Chapter 39
In the evening, Arthur Mu did as he had promised. Elizabeth, who seemed happy the whole time, sent all the maids and eunuchs away. Her smiling face gradually showed her signs of weakness. As she sat alone, she mused. In fact, she felt more pain than she had ever felt before, but part of it was because she had to do her best to hide it. And part of it was because she had nowhere to go, there was no turning back for her. It was better to let Arthur Mu hate her like he had always hated her. Hate is always more comfortable than regret. All night long, she stood in the open hall, looking at the closed door not far away, gazing at it quietly. Her tears flowed and dried, dried and flowed, repeatedly. Although Arthur Mu was lying in bed in the inner room, he couldn’t sleep for a long time. He looked at the door from time to time. For a moment, he even wanted to push the door and go out. But, what then, if he goes out? She won\'t be there waiting f

During Barbara Liu\'s pregnancy, Arthur Mu came to the Queen’s palace almost every night. Though he tried not to show it, Arthur just wanted to take the opportunity to check on Elizabeth. However, even if Arthur Mu prayed for time to pass more slowly, it was the ninth month of Barbara Liu\'s pregnancy. The prince was born in October. The night when Barbara gave birth to her baby, almost everyone in the palace was worried. But the moment the child was born, the tensions were even higher. The servants were constantly summoned by Arthur Mu, who had not come to the Queen’s palace. Barbara was resting when suddenly, a cold breeze blew in. The window creaked open from outside. A man in black is stood by her bed. Looking at the man, Barbara Liu was not surprised, but felt nervous. \"What are you doing here at this time? Aren\'t you afraid to be discovered?\" The man spoke in an urgent tone. \"When are you going to do it?\"

Half a month later, Barbara was promoted to Princess Barbara. Ermengarde Qui handed Elizabeth a cup of tea and sighed. \"Your highness, Barbara Liu doesn’t deserve this.\" Elizabeth smiled and shook her head. \"Ermengarde Qui, she was lucky that she bore the Emperor’s son. Heaven favored her with luck.\" Elizabeth drank the tea but her chest felt constricted. Then, a stream of dry heat rushed to her throat. She spat out a mass of blood so heavily coagulated that even hot tea couldn\'t melt it. “Your Highness!” Ermengarde was so scared that she turned pale. \"I\'m going to call the doctor!\" Elizabeth would cough at night. Sometimes, she would cough for hours. Even before this, Elizabeth had already begun to lose appetite. However, Ermengarde Qiu had always thought it was because the Queen was upset with the Emperor. \"There\'s no need to call the doctor, and you can\'t let anyone know.\" Her expression, as well a

As soon as she entered the main hall, Barbara greeted her with a smile and knelt. \"Your Highness.\" Elizabeth nodded. \"Get up.\" Barbara was like a warm and thoughtful sister. She took Elizabeth’s arm and led her into the dining room. When they reached the dining table, she suddenly turned around. \"I know that the Empress has always complained about me. In fact, I don\'t want to compete with the Empress. Now I have a son, and I\'m satisfied. I just want to be with the Empress and be a good sister.” Barbara’s eyes were red. \"May I hug the empress?\" For concubines in the harem, it\'s a normal thing to form groups among themselves. Elizabeth looked at Barbara Liu for a long time, then slowly spread out her arms. \"In fact, I should be the one to thank you.\" Just as she finished, Barbara Liu hugged Elizabeth. At the same time, she took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed Elizabeth in the back. \"I wonder wh

When the Empress died, she was buried and sealed in a tomb, and as she requested no servants were sacrificed and sealed in with her. Her kindness, intelligence and bravery became known, and from then on every family in Huai\'an City burned candles for her at night. The Emperor Arthur Mu stood on the high palace wall and looked at the bright lights of his city. That day, when he arrived, Elizabeth had lain dead in a pool of blood. When she was found, she had bled all over the ground, and the main hall of the whole bedroom was red. Arthur Mu learned that the food in Princess Barbara\'s bedroom had been poisoned that day. Her maidservant, Ermengarde Qiu brought a book to him. Gently, he opened it. He wept at the sight of Elizabeth’s beautiful handwriting. After a deep breath, Arthur Mu read out the content of the book. \"I never thought that I would meet him again one day. I always had him in my heart. This is why I have kept my hair rather than shave it. How

A single red candle flickered in the brocade tent. The voices outside seemed lonely in the dark night. Elizabeth Mo sat on the couch. On her face was red makeup. She took the red handkerchief off her head. It’s nearly midnight. Maybe he’s not coming after all. Duke Arthur Mu loved his wife, the Duchess. The woman had been ill for a long time, and could not even get out of bed. I’m just his plaything, Elizabeth thought, and a bitter smile spread across her face. The red candle had nearly been burned out. The meager light illuminated her face. Just as she was about to take off her make-up, a loud commotion broke the silence outside. Someone burst through the door. \"Miss, Miss, come quickly!\" It was her maid, Camille Ah. In a trembling voice, she implored Elizabeth, \"Miss, please come to the front hall! The master and his wife have been arrested for treason!\" Treason? Her father, a lowly minister, had always been loyal to the Emp

Behind her, her family begged for mercy and cried for help. Her parents were old. A few days ago, her father had told her that he was looking forward to his retirement. In another year, their family would have been able to return home. Her younger brother was just seven years old. He was most certainly innocent of all this. Elizabeth finally bent down and knocked heavily on the cold ground. \"Please, Duke, please spare my family.\" Arthur Mu dropped his eyes slightly and looked at her in front of him. His tall body stood still. \"Haven’t you eaten? Why can\'t I hear you kowtow? \" Elizabeth increased her pace and let her forehead touch the ground as she kowtowed. \"I beg the Duke to spare my family.\" \"Do it again!\" \"I beg the Duke to spare my family!\" \"Again!\" Elizabeth knew that Arthur Mu just wanted to torture her. Behind her, everyone else was begging for mercy. She suddenly clenched h

Duke Arthur Mu once ordered people to plant 300 cold plum trees in this huge garden. Since then, it’s been known as the Plum Garden. In the mid-winter season, a hundred flowers would blossom, and the fragrance would float in the air surrounding the garden. It was known all over the kingdom that the Duchess loved winter plums. Only Elizabeth knew that the Duke’s wife neither knew about winter plums, nor cared about them. A weak voice called out. \"Is my sister here?\" Elizabeth just stepped into the plum garden, and a soft voice rang out in the room. She went in through the maid\'s door. The floor was warm. The Duchess was admired by thousands of people. She was sitting on the couch, sipping tea from a cup, her little finger raised daintily. Her face was exactly the same as that of Elizabeth. But Elizabeth\'s smudged red makeup, messy long hair and bloody clothes contrasted with Duchess’s calm and clean appearance. Elizabeth stared at her.
