Chapter 128 The Princess Fainted
After hearing what Zhao Qiyue said, Empress Lü slammed the table in anger and said, "What nonsense are you making? Marriage is such a big deal, how can it be treated as a joke?"

Zhao Qiyue felt very aggrieved: "Mother, you are also a woman, why are you so harsh on me?"

"Woman? Your father has three thousand beauties in his harem. If I had followed your ideas, I would have died a long time ago. Being born into the royal family is your destiny. If you can maximize the benefits of marriage, it will be worth my giving birth to you."

Zhao Qiyue nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's all for my brother, right? Then I'll go talk to him. He definitely won't be willing to give up my happiness for some benefit."

Empress Lu chuckled and said forcefully, "If you find him, he has to listen to me! For so many years, I have endured hardships and finally waited for you to succeed. Is this how you repay me?"

"Besides, your brother is already overwhelmed just dealing with the ministers every day, and you still want to do these things to upset him? Is that what I taught you?"

At this moment, Lu Hou's maid hurried in and whispered something in her ear. Lu Hou's face changed immediately.

She stood up in a flash, looked at Zhao Qiyue meaningfully, and said coldly:

"I gave Pei Zhuo a chance, but he refused to take the road to heaven and insisted on breaking into hell. You can't blame me this time."

Zhao Qiyue didn't understand and looked puzzled: "What does this have to do with anything? Why is Pei Zhuo involved again? He is not in the capital."

Empress Lu sneered: "He told you he left? I thought you two teamed up to trick me."

Zhao Qiyue frowned: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Empress Lü did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Did you know that Shen Jie was beaten last night?"

Zhao Qiyue was surprised and asked, "Ah? What's going on?"

"I think he was venting his anger on your behalf, and by chance he was caught by the people from the East Factory, and is now imprisoned in the Imperial Prison."

After Lu Hou finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Qiyue and said word by word: "I gave him a chance. Now he is walking on the road to death on his own. It's not my fault." "It's not too much to sentence him to death for murdering an official appointed by the court."

The next day, Zhao State welcomed the first rain since the beginning of summer. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed one after another, as if to split the sky in half.

Lu's maid came in and poured her tea. After pouring it, she looked outside and hesitated to speak. Finally, she couldn't help but said:
"Your Highness, the princess is still kneeling outside. It's raining so hard. What if something happens?"

The maidservant had been with Empress Lu for decades, and her words carried more weight than those of ordinary people. She couldn't help but persuade her: "She is just a servant anyway. Since the princess cares so much about her, why don't you just spare her life? Don't let any rift between mother and daughter arise."

Ever since Lu said she wanted to sentence Pei Zhuo to death, Zhao Qiyue has been kneeling outside.

She hoped to save Pei Zhuo's life so that she could do anything.

But the more she did this, the more Lu refused to give in.

You are willing to risk your life for a man. What will happen in the future?

She really didn't understand why she gave birth to such a passionate daughter.

Empress Lü sighed: "Alas, they are still young after all. Perhaps when they reach my age, they will understand that I am doing this for their own good."

Outside, the sky was as dark as ink. Zhao Qiyue hadn't had a drop of water for a whole day and night. He was starving, not to mention being drenched in the heavy rain.

She supported herself on the ground with her hands, her vision gradually blurred. Not long after, she could no longer hold on, her eyes turned black, and she fell down.

The maidservant next to her exclaimed: "The princess has fainted."

Seeing this, Empress Lü finally reacted. She stood up and walked out, saying angrily, "Bring the person in."
