693: The King's Revenge

The King's Revenge

The King looked at the Queen transfixed.2

The Queen looked extremely pale and the snowflakes on her hair, because she did not use an umbrella when she hurried here. She was dressed in a red-colored blouse like a Queen should be dressed. She had lost some weight in the past few weeks, and was no longer as plump as before. She was staring at the King.

He had been thinking about this scenario for the past decade. He had been looking forward to this day, but now…

When the day arrived, Zhou Sheng was no longer afraid of the Jiang Family. He was able to confess all that he had planned and done frankly.

Although he was feeling very unhappy right now, the King nodded seriously, "What Honored Princess Jing said is true."

Well… He could have made the confession the day the Phoenix Girl was found, but for some reason, he had never told the truth. However, he was not denying what Honored Princess Jing had told them.

He was going to confess, and was going to be totally open about it.

"Your father threatened me, and I so dared not treat you badly," the King said with an unconvinced tone, "Jiang Shang was very intimidating and he was the most powerful general of the whole country, but Jiang Shang never expected that some poor guy like me would grow up and become powerful too!"

"…"

"But now, it is time for me to be fearless."

"…"

"Why should I be afraid of you and your family any more?" The King showed a very happy smile.

The Queen turned even more pale. She had never expected that the marriage she had believed to be perfect was fabricated and that Zhou Sheng had never thought about this before. He was even pretending to be nice to her and even hid his own purpose in front of her. That was more than a decade!

Everything was fabricated. He was toying with her.

Only now did the Queen understand clearly why Zhou Sheng changed his attitude so tremendously directly after the Phoenix Girl was found.

Only now did she understand why Zhou Sheng agreed to make Xunyang marry that useless Young Master - he was taking his revenge!

Only now did she understand why Zhou Sheng wanted Xunyang to be married off somewhere in the North Qi. He was taking revenge again!

That was the revenge he was taking on the Jiang Family.

The Queen forced herself to stand still. She was the daughter of the Jiang Family and she should not collapse no matter what happened.

In the end, the Queen asked the King. "What did my father say to you?"

As the question was raised, the King smiled ironically.

"General Jiang forced me to treat you well, or they would never let me rest in peace!" As he finished saying these words, the King said arrogantly, "But what can General Jiang do to me now?"

The Queen could not help coughing. She coughed blood. She wiped herself with her sleeves, smearing blood upon her coat and sleeves.

When the King saw the scene, he felt a touch of concern and was about to support her when Honored Princess Jing saw how the King behaved and interrupted. "Queen, are you alright?"

The Queen threw her a glance, then she headed directly outside the Qianqing Palace as if the palace never existed.

Seeing that she was gone, the Honored Princess asked the King. "King, who should be the Queen now?"
