"Hail to the Emperor, hail to the Empress and hail to the Lichen dynasty"373Please respect copyright.PENANAPKnyYEOH7I
"Congratulations to your Majesty"373Please respect copyright.PENANAm40TSKrOK9
The ministers, high ranking courts members and consorts all bow down to the Emperor and I.373Please respect copyright.PENANAsrnS7TnvCY
Here I am sitting beside the Emperor, welcoming a child who is not from me but with consort sung, pretending to be happy while I am not. I can hear the unsaid insults and sneer, but I choose to ignore like I have always done373Please respect copyright.PENANAx5JE1EHmNY
"Your Majesty, thank you for letting me carry your royal seed and I hope the gods will let her Majesty experience the joy I feel one day"373Please respect copyright.PENANAYJsbo333SF
Consort sung voiced out in a sweet venomous way. The Emperor smiled, paying no heed to what she said, she has been his favorite consort, and I am not surprised about his voluntary ignorance. I understood the message she wanted to send as I have been married to the Emperor for 5 years yet to birth an heir. 373Please respect copyright.PENANARXD3iazmhy
"My beloved consort who continue to please me, I hereby order your promotion to noble consort and to be taken effective"373Please respect copyright.PENANAdMFhwLjutp
Murmurs filled the palace, an indirect slap to the Empress. First he took my duties as a wife, and now he shows no respect to me by appointing ranking to a consort, I could only smile the gods knows I am tired. I just want peace, but it seems peace does not want me.373Please respect copyright.PENANAcHFGJdLe0b
"Thank you your Majesty, you have made me the happiest woman alive" 373Please respect copyright.PENANAAD2yKfTByD
Consort Sung kneeled smiling from ear to ear. I knew her plan, she wants to be the Empress, and she is on the path there. An Empress without an heir is disposable like my mother told me day and night, how is it my fault that the gods refuses to bless me with one.373Please respect copyright.PENANA0wUMbeqg4q
"Raise and bid good night to the Emperor and Empress"373Please respect copyright.PENANACWEr6KBxxR
"Have a good night rest Emperor, have a good night rest empress"373Please respect copyright.PENANAUQId1UIDMv
Everyone kowtowed, like a good wife I am I allowed the Emperor to go ahead while I followed behind like I have been taught.373Please respect copyright.PENANAVZZKk9zLOg
His Majesty went to my hall of Giche for today is the night I serve him.373Please respect copyright.PENANAvZdDG115QI
"I wonder what is the use of putting your name in the rooster when you cannot bare me a child" 373Please respect copyright.PENANAe3mosjGSuf
Ignore I sing to myself while helping him take off his garment.373Please respect copyright.PENANAIhoBwnREPl
Suddenly hands grip my wrist fiercely in a way that will surely leave marks resulting in me looking in his eyes373Please respect copyright.PENANADnqXhQEJW7
"Why were you made Empress? Is it because you are the general's daughter? Is it because you are a spy spent to report daily about me?"373Please respect copyright.PENANAmwD2IFh2PB
His hand left my wrist and went to my neck, stopping the airflow to my lungs373Please respect copyright.PENANAUzRFsuqUvm
"You are useless, I will make sure you will never mother my child. I cannot take my anger out on your father, I will take it out on you. I will make your life so miserable that you will take your life"373Please respect copyright.PENANAazXd1DYPoy
"Eunuch Jun bring in the soup of congee"373Please respect copyright.PENANALkfSmVct1W
He throws me down to the floor as his servants rush in to hold me down, I struggle even I know it is useless. He has always done this for the past five years and I try to break free, but they are too strong for me. 373Please respect copyright.PENANAweZvVY5jZb
Eunuch Jun smiles as he forces my mouth open, blocking my nose as he forces the soup down my throat until no drop is left. The servants left me on the floor gasping for air as soon as the job is done, my makeup smashed and my hair improper.373Please respect copyright.PENANABSSxIECOcg
The Emperor crunches down to my level, gripping my jaw to force me to look at him as he smirks evil fully.373Please respect copyright.PENANAZqpR4yYx24
"I heard continuous usage of congee soup can cause one to never bear a child for one lifetime, and you have been taking it for five years. Who knows, you might be barren"373Please respect copyright.PENANADxOAzmrcwp
No, no, no, no, that can't be possible. The gods please no, don't do this to me, I don't deserve this373Please respect copyright.PENANA9kxr6l4txx
"I won't need your service tonight, I want to see my beautiful wife and child. Something you won't be able to give me"
Please gods do not let this happen to me373Please respect copyright.PENANAtFccC8Duz5
Please, gods. That night I wept not just for myself but for my unborn children who did not have the chance to see the world.
