Bab 183: Have only one wife Part II

How could the new emperor keep a thorn in his side?

She had lived with cruelty for so long that she could trust no one. She wanted those she loved to have a long life within this cage called the royal palace. She wanted a guarantee that she would leave this world in the arms of the people she loved.

It was natural that she would resent the man who had destroyed her life and had molded her into a wicked woman in order to survive when she should have been a general’s wife. It was natural that she would love her son, born of her blood and bone, the only man who loved her unconditionally.

And it was only natural that she would hate her child, who had the same face as the man who was the cause of her suffering. Only death could free her from this heavenly cage.

Who was to blame for the way everything had escalated up until now…? Everyone had a fate of their own that they must face.
