\"But what?\" Lucille asked with a stunned expression, her hand on the armrest of the seat clenched involuntarily. It was a cold winter night, but the Imperial doctor’s forehead was sweating profusely, \"It\'s just that Concubine Lisa is emotionally unstable and there seems to be a sign of fetal irritability.\" He spoke the last few words very quietly, but I heard them clearly. Lucille was obviously relieved. She waved her hand, her expression was a little impatient, \"Okay, I understand. You can leave now.\" The Imperial doctor wiped his cold sweat and retreated. It may be because I have been kneeling for a long time that my knees have started to faintly hurt again. However, I paid no mind to it because all I could think about was the baby in my stomach. The Imperial doctor said I have began to have signs of fetal irritability, but Lucille clearly dismissed the Imperial physician and made it clear that she wanted the baby in my w
The Eastern Kingdom doesn\'t need the Lin family\'s help to fight the world, and Zach doesn\'t need me anymore, so this has all just been a game from beginning to end. Cristin served Zach. Perhaps he knew I was pregnant a long time ago, but he pretended to be ignorant. He knew that according to my temperament, I would do everything I possibly could to keep this child at all costs. He forced me to do this. He watched me every step of the way until I unknowingly stepped into the trap he had set up long ago, but he kept silent in order to wipe out the entire Lin family! Was that right? \"No… That’s impossible… It can’t be...\" I couldn\'t help but tremble. I feel like I’ve fallen into an ice cellar for days. It was so cold. \"Actually, you’ve guessed it a long time ago, haven’t you?\" Lucille squatted down in front of me, with a little pity in her eyes, \"With your ingenuity, when the Emperor asked you to drink the black soup again and again,
She spoke it so casually, as if in her eyes, she was just playing with two dolls and not with two innocent lives. Lannie was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she backed away in panic, even her words became uncomfortable, \"No! I don’t want to drink! I won’t drink!\" Lucille\'s face sank when she heard the words, and she said coldly, \"Lady Lannie won’t drink? Perhaps you need the palace to help you?\" Lucille held up her hand, she didn\'t even need to give an order, someone immediately stepped forward and held Lannie\'s arm. In shock, I spoke, \"Lucille! Whatever your business is with me, my brother\'s family has no grievances and no enmity with you, so leave them alone and punish me instead!\" My ten-year-old brother, Edward, burst into tears with fright. Kneeling beside him, Beth, an old housekeeper, climbed up and pulled Lucille\'s skirt, and pleaded with tears, \"Empress, in Lady Lannie’s womb is the only blood of the gener
I wasn’t sure if it was Lucille\'s conscience, or she was just afraid of doing a bad job that she asked for a doctor to come. At first, I was worried I’d get fooled again. I didn\'t dare give the medicine for Lannie to drink until I personally tried it myself to make sure it was not poisonous. I knelt on the ground with the medicine bowl in my hand, and persuaded her, \"Lannie, I beg of you, just drink the medicine. You will die if you continue like this. You are still young and will be able to carry children, trust me...\" It\'s been three days, she didn\'t eat, drink or talk. She just lay there with her eyes open. From dark to dawn, and then to dark, she was motionless, like a lifeless animal puppet. I knew that she was sad. She had been married to my brother for so many years and had no children. Then, she was finally with a baby, but because of me, she had lost it. Do I hate them? Of course, I wish I could tear them to pieces
I lowered my head, pursed my lips and refused to speak. You see, I always find his weakness easily. \"Tell me, what do you know?\" he asked, his grip on my arm tightening as if he means to crush it. \"Why? Is the Emperor going to kill more people?\" I met his eyes without fear, and sneered, \"Anyway, since the Emperor doesn\'t need the Lin family to conquer the world anymore, you just decided to burn the bridge by having my child and my brother’s child killed, as well as putting my brother in jail. Why don’t you just kill us all? Didn\'t you want to exterminate my entire family? Just give the decree!\" \"You asked for it!\" Zach stared at me bitterly, gritted his teeth, and said, \"I told you before, you can never escape from me in your life! I think you were the first one to try, so I decided to punish you a little. If there is another time, I will make your life a living hell. Zach\'s temperament has always been indifferent. But
The guard at the door probably heard the noise and barged in. A man who looked like the leader yelled loudly, \"Protect the Emperor!\" People suddenly started to surround me. Then the man knelt in front of Zach, and said in a trembling voice, \"Emperor, I came too late, please forgive me. The Emperor must have been frightened.\" Zach didn\'t move. He was still holding my wrist as he stared at me with scorching eyes, and shouted in a deep voice, \"Get out!\" \"Emperor...\" the leader spoke as he looked up, confused. He didn\'t seem to have heard Zach clearly. \"I said get out!\" Zach\'s eyes were a bit more violent, and his tone was obviously tinged with anger and impatience. The leader guessed that Zach hated me very much. After taking a fierce look at me, he reluctantly ordered, \"All of you, get out!\" He was probably afraid that I would hurt Zach again. Although the guards retreated, they didn\'t step too far away from
In fact, there was another reason why I didn’t resist. Lucille said that my brother had been imprisoned by Zach, but I didn’t see him on the way to my cell. The Sky Prison of the Eastern Kingdom is a prison for serious criminals of the Imperial Court. Its structure seems simple and clear at a glance, but in fact, it has all the vital structure it needs. If you’re not careful, you might pierce your body with random arrows and break your bones. I followed behind the jailer, seemingly calm, but in fact, my eyes were secretly scanning the entire area. I saw a prisoner who was very similar to my brother from a distance. I was overjoyed, but then, he suddenly turned around. When I saw his face, my heart dropped again. It wasn’t my brother. I have carefully looked at every person in the cells and none of them were my brother. \"This is it. Please, Concubine Lisa,\" the jailer, who seemed to be the head of the prison, must have recognized
This winter seemed to be exceptionally cold. I was lying on the haystack in the prison, and the faint pain in my legs made me sleepless. It was my leg disease again. My stubborn disease has always been inseparable from Doctor Hu’s medicine. The medicine that Cristin put on my cuff before escaping from the palace had long been used up. Now, I was in deep pain. Ever since I was imprisoned, Zach visited me once, but Lucille visited every other day. She came, and naturally did nothing good, except for watching me in my miserable state and doing her best to humiliate me. At the beginning, I was patient enough to talk to her. Over time, I didn\'t even have the desire to look at her. This was her last resort, wasn’t it? Zach ordered to keep my life, and the prison head here always protected me intentionally or unintentionally. Even if Lucille wanted to play any tricks, she had no chance at all. She danced happily on her own, but in my e
