Zhai Tianyu paced in his study, he didn't understand what was happening to him but he knew one thing and that was —— The Queen was affecting his decisions and before she starts taking even more control over his decisions, he has to take care of her.

The two of them had done the talks and he was very much aware of the fact that she did not want to be the Queen, if so, he can dethrone her without her hating him——

" Damn it!" He banged his fist on the wall feeling annoyance bubbling in his chest, there it was again. Why will he care about the Queen hating him or not? He has never given a second thought to any other woman hating him other than Ji Yu, he has never put any woman in his mind, so what made the Queen any different?

A part of him wanted to strangle the queen such that she will stop making his heart unstable like this, but then again he would be doing exactly what she accused him of acting like a tyrant. He was not a violent person, no he wasn't…if he was then he would have killed the Liu family long ago.

He was the type of man who wanted the best for everyone in his empire if not for the Liu family crossing the line, he would have never done something like scheming against them. Yet something about Liu Hui Ying brought the monster in him out and he wasn't even kidding.

He exhaled a sharp breath and dropped his arms to the side, instead of punching the wall for no reason, he scrubbed his hands down his face and closed his eyes.

" You seem to be upset," the voice of his brother snapped him out of his daze as he looked up and found his brother standing at the threshold of his study, he didn't see Yu Lingyun which was a good thing given that man never knew when to shut up and worse of all, he saw through him better than his brother did, maybe it was because the two of them were at the same age and he was well closer to him than he was with his brother.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something," Zhai Tianyu replied as he stiffly smiled at his brother, if he was to make a mistake here then his brother will find out about the continuous struggle that he was going through, he didn't want that to happen. " And I lost control of myself for a moment."

" Is this about the Queen?" asked Zhai Heng reading the expression of his brother better than anyone else.

" No," Zhai Tianyu replied but he said it too quickly and his brother only got even more suspicious of him as he narrowed his gaze a fraction of an inch and then he was looking at him with a questionable expression.

" You aren't being shaken up by the Queen, are you, your majesty?" He asked, his tone accusatory as he looked at him. " If you are then you will be putting a lot of things on the line, our hard work for years and the promise that you made to Yu'er … you promised her that you will make her your empress and that she will be your only wife. You do remember it right?"

Zhai Tianyu stiffened but he nodded. " I know I remember everything that I have said to Yu'er."

" Then you should keep remembering it and most importantly you should never forget what kind of danger the Queen is, you might want to keep her alive at the moment but the second she turns a danger then I hope that your promise of beheading her will still count, your majesty."

He was wrong, his brother saw through him as much as Yu Lingyun did. Zhai Tianyu closed his eyes and then sighed,  " You don't have to worry about it, brother… I know what I am doing. As soon as the Queen becomes a  threat to us then I will be the one taking her down."

…..

" Gosh my head," Liu Hui Ying nursed her head as she closed her eyes and then sighed in pure agony.

Her body was hurting and she wasn't even surprised according to Qui Ai, she was brought back by the Emperor given that a man touched her, Liu Hui Ying was sure that her allergy must have flared up even if she had no recollection of it and with nausea that was rising in her throat due to being hungover and her allergy, Liu Hui Ying felt like she was dying.

" Your majesty, you are lucky that you were found out by the Emperor when his mood was good," said Qui Ai as she brought the hangover soup from the kitchen and then placed it in front of Liu Hui Ying.  " If not then it would have been terrible,  you were so drunk that you couldn't even tell me apart," Qui Ai paused and then said, " You seem to be calling for someone called Wenyi, who is Wenyi…your majesty?"

Liu Hui Ying stiffened before she smiled and took the hangover soup from Qui Ai and said, " No one, I must be thinking about someone I met in the brothel."

She could never tell Qui Ai, who was Wenyi … if she was to tell Qui Ai about Wenyi then she was sure that her sister will definitely get crazy mad. She was surprised that her sister was in control despite her uttering that name ——

" That's because she already caused a blood bath," answered Li Gang as he stepped out of the scroll that was hanging on the wall next to Liu Hui Ying's bed and then arched his bed, when he noticed that Liu Hui Ying was looking at him in confusion, he rolled his eyes and further explained, " You came smelling like death...

I think that your sister lost control while you were drunk and then got tired enough not to care about that name."

He paused and then shuddered. " If she was awake then I shudder to think what she would have done upon hearing that name."
