Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

The Queen is an authority figure, looking for a shrewd successor who would also fully respect her. Although Edith doesn’t count as shrewd, she has been wholeheartedly dedicated to Your Majesty the Queen over the years. Adding the fact of her association with the Durant Family, the Queen always thought she was a fine choice. However, recent events have gradually awakened the Queen, and after investigating the Durant Family, it was found that Edith, along with Durant and Mr. and Mrs. Meg, seem to be paying lip service more often than not. They prefer power to respect for her.

An Yiqing suggested he confess everything tomorrow, even though it might infuriate the Queen. Still, it’s a way of showing respect. Emory respects the Queen, so after doing all this, he confessed to her. It must be said, it’s a risky move. But if played well, it could yield unexpected results.

Wiping his face, Emory looked at himself in the mirror. Take a gamble, take a chance, he has no regrets!

The next day, Emory appeared in a white suit in the Queen’s study. When he entered, the Queen was bending over something she was writing. Pale hair, a face full of wrinkles, slightly trembling hands. Emory’s heart suddenly ached; how long had it been since he last truly looked at this grandmother?

The Queen looked up, and Emory promptly withdrew the sorrow in his eyes, bowed his head, and respectfully saluted.

"Emory, you came early today."

"Grandmother, I am here today because I have something to confess to you."

The Queen’s eyes flickered slightly, she put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, "Emory, come and speak."

Emory walked to the desk, took a deep breath, and looked the Queen straight in the eye, "Grandmother, I am very sorry. These days, I’ve done some things and kept them from you. The missing jewelry incident of the Durant Family was caused by me alone."

The Queen remained calm, showing no emotion, she only asked lightly, "Why did you do this?"

"I hope that Grandmother can see me. I feel that I have more ability to be the Crown Prince than Edith," Emory said it out loud, and suddenly felt calm in his heart.

The Queen slowly stood up, looking Emory in the eye, "Since that’s the case, why are you telling me all this?"

Emory lowered his head, his voice somewhat dejected, "Because I know Grandmother is very capable, everything can’t be hidden from you. Grandmother, I have great respect for you, so I don’t want to hide anymore. I want to be the successor, I think I am more suitable than Edith."

The Queen did not speak, the room was extremely quiet, only the sound of the old clock’s pendulum swinging echoed. It seemed like a long time had passed, so long that Emory was about to lose heart, when the Queen finally spoke.

"Bring the person behind you to meet me, I want to see her."

Emory suddenly raised his head, looking at the Queen in disbelief.

"Emory, we can discuss your matter later. I want to meet the person behind you."

"Grandmother, all of this was just me..."

"Relay my words to her!" the Queen interrupted Emory, demanding firmly.

Emory opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. Until he left the Kremlin Palace, he still felt dizzy.

Upon returning home, he immediately called An Yiqing to explain the matter. Emory was a bit uneasy, not knowing what An Yiqing’s reaction would be.

After a while, An Yiqing suddenly laughed as if she had anticipated it.

"Tell your Grandmother, I will go with you tomorrow morning."

The next day, An Yiqing arrived at the Kremlin Palace as promised with Emory. She was still in a simple white long dress, with a cream-colored wool coat draped over it.

In the reception room, the Queen quietly observed the young woman in front of her. A white dress, serene, warm. It seemed as if all the world’s ugliness had nowhere to hide in her presence.

This was the young woman who had turned Country Zi upside down this past month. Even Princess Edith was subdued by her, forced to apologize publicly.

"Miss An, welcome," the Queen began.

An Yiqing smiled gently and shook hands with the Queen, then sat down, "Dear Your Majesty the Queen, I am ashamed to have caused you quite some trouble these days."

"Miss An, there is an old saying in Xuanjin: straightforward people don’t speak in riddles. I want to know your purpose here."

An Yiqing smiled, smoothing her dress, "Your Majesty is overthinking. I initially just came to participate in the World Business Association, without any intention of meddling in royal affairs. But when Princess Edith seduced my husband, it troubled me and my husband greatly, which is why I made a move. To be honest, Edith is not suitable to be the Queen of Country Zi. Her insight and ability would turn Country Zi into a laughingstock."
