Chu Ze was struck by lightning when he heard this. He couldn't believe his ears.

He staggered to the queen's bedroom and saw the queen lying on the bed, her face pale and breathless.

Chu Ze knelt beside the bed, tears streaming down his face.

He could never have imagined that the queen would actually commit suicide.

He hugged the queen's body tightly, his heart filled with grief and regret.

"Why? Why did you do this?" Chu Ze cried, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

At this moment, he suddenly felt the queen's body move...

Chu Ze felt the queen's body move, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart. Could it be that the queen was not dead yet?
He quickly checked the queen's breath, and sure enough, she was still breathing weakly!

Chu Ze was overjoyed. He immediately called the imperial physician to treat the queen.

After the imperial physician examined her, he said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has only taken a large amount of sleeping pills, and her life is not in danger."

Chu Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat beside the bed, holding the queen's hand, and waited quietly for her to wake up.

After an unknown amount of time, the queen slowly opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty..." the Queen called weakly.

"Queen, you're awake!" Chu Ze said excitedly, "Why did you want to commit suicide? Do you know how worried I am about you?"

The queen looked at Chu Ze, her eyes filled with sadness and despair.

"Your Majesty, I can't live any longer..." the queen cried, "I am already an unclean person..."

Chu Ze's face changed drastically when he heard this.

"What did you say?" he asked. "Who said it? Who defiled you?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to say it... I only want to die..."

Chu Ze held the Queen's hand tightly and said, "Queen, tell me who it is? I will definitely avenge you!"

The queen hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Yes... it's Old Man Tianji..."

"Old Man Tianji?" Chu Ze heard this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "I must tear him into pieces!"

The Queen shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, don't... don't look for him... He is already dead..."

"Dead?" Chu Ze asked doubtfully, "How did he die?"

The Queen said: "Yes...it was I who killed him..."

Chu Ze became even more confused after hearing this.

The Queen continued, "I know that Elder Tianji has always wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, so I pretended to surrender to him, gained his trust, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness to poison him to death..."

After listening to the queen's story, Chu Ze was filled with shock and admiration.

He could never have imagined that the queen would do such a thing.

He hugged the queen tightly and said, "Queen, you have worked hard! Thank you!"

The queen leaned in Chu Ze's arms and cried, "Your Majesty, I am sorry... I am already an unclean person... I am not worthy of being your queen anymore..."

Chu Ze stroked the queen's hair and said, "Queen, I don't care! I only know that you are the woman I love the most!"

The queen raised her head and looked at Chu Ze, her eyes filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty..." the queen said while choking with sobs, "I love you..."

Chu Ze kissed the queen's lips affectionately and said, "I love you too..."

The two hugged each other tightly, enjoying this moment of tenderness.

However, Chu Ze knew that he still had a lot to do.

He must find Tianji's accomplices as soon as possible and catch them all in one fell swoop, so as to completely eradicate this cancer that threatens the Ming Dynasty.

He also had to continue expanding his territory to fulfill his ambition of unifying the world.

He knew that this road would be full of hardships and challenges, but he would not back down, because he knew that his lover, his queen, was silently supporting him.

The next day, Chu Ze ordered that Tianji's body be hung on the city gate as a warning to others. At the same time, he also stepped up the search for Tianji's accomplices.

Before long, all of Tianji's accomplices were caught in one fell swoop.

Chu Ze executed them all as a punishment.

At this point, Old Man Tianji's conspiracy completely failed.

The Ming Dynasty also returned to peace.

Chu Ze continued to work hard to govern the country, expand the territory, and finally fulfilled his ambition to unify the world.

He became one of the greatest emperors in history.

And his queen became one of the most respected queens in history.

Their love story has also become a legend through the ages.

However, just as Chu Ze was immersed in the joy of victory, he suddenly discovered that the queen was becoming more and more weird.

She often sat alone in the room, talking to herself in the air, sometimes she would burst into laughter for no reason, and sometimes she would cry for no reason.
Chu Ze began to worry about the queen's mental state. He invited the imperial physician to treat the queen, but the imperial physician was helpless.

The Queen's condition became more and more serious, and she began to have hallucinations. She often saw the ghost of Old Man Tianji appear in front of her, intimidating and threatening her.

Chu Ze felt heartbroken when he saw the queen in pain.

He knew that the queen was condemned by her conscience because she had killed old man Tianji.

He wanted to help the queen, but he didn't know how.

One night, the queen suddenly got up from the bed, holding a dagger, and tried to assassinate Chu Ze.

Chu Ze was startled. He quickly dodged and ordered his men to subdue the queen.

Looking at the queen's crazy appearance, Chu Ze's heart was filled with grief and helplessness.

He knew that the queen had gone crazy...

He ordered that the queen be imprisoned in the cold palace and sent people to guard her strictly.

He didn't want to hurt the queen, but he also couldn't let the queen hurt him.

He could only watch the queen walk towards destruction step by step...

In the cold palace, the queen had disheveled hair and looked like a madman.

Sometimes she laughed out loud, sometimes she cried loudly, and sometimes she cursed at the air.

She has completely lost her mind and turned into a complete lunatic...

Chu Ze would often visit the Queen, but he did not dare to get close to her.

He was afraid that the queen would hurt him, and even more afraid that he would not be able to control himself and kill the queen.

He could only look at the queen from afar, crying silently...

He knew that the queen could not go back...

She has become a zombie...

Chu Ze's heart was filled with grief and regret.

If he hadn't asked the Queen to kill Old Man Tianji, perhaps none of this would have happened...

He feels sorry for the Queen...

He will never be able to repay what he owes to the Queen in this lifetime...

He could only pray silently, hoping that the queen could live a happy life in the afterlife...

Chu Ze sat dejectedly on the dragon throne, his crown covering his empty eyes. He was once full of vigor and vitality, but now there is only endless emptiness. He won the world, but lost her.

The queen's favorite ambergris was still burning in the bedroom, but the fragrance seemed to have thorns, piercing his heart again and again. He closed his eyes, and the queen's voice, appearance and smile emerged, from the first glimpse when they first met, to the tacit understanding of fighting side by side later, and now... her crazy appearance.

"Did I... do something wrong?" He murmured to himself, his voice so low that it seemed to come from underground.

Eunuch Li walked in quietly and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." (End of this chapter)
