Chapitre 1117: The Return of an Old Friend (25)

"You're probably different from me." Without waiting for Shen Miao to answer, Empress Xiande continued, "In the past, His Majesty asked people to gather information about you. As I listened to him telling me about you, I knew that you were a smart person. You dealt with the royal family of Ming Qi alone and protected the Shen family. As for meeting Jingxing and marrying him, it was all a coincidence. If you didn't meet Jingxing, you could also live a life you wanted, because you neve aspired to be someone's wife."

"But I'm different." She looked at the ruby on her necklace and said, "When I met His Majesty, I felt that the most important thing in my life was to become his wife and be with him for the rest of my life." She rested her head on her elbow and spoke slowly, as if she was about to fall asleep in the next moment, but she was still talking.
