Chapter 433 - 231: Brothers with the same father recognize each other! (Important, must subscribe)
When the Hai Family of Yingzhou pressured the Rock Queen into marriage, she truly could not find any reason to refuse.
Little Princess Yan Xue could still choose a man at the selection ceremony, marry early, and dispel Hai Wuyan’s thoughts.
However, the Rock Queen couldn’t resort to such a method. Therefore, the marriage proposal from Hai Gang was something she couldn’t refuse, for to do so would be an act of contempt.
At the moment, the Yan Clan was completely reliant on the Hai Family; without the Hai Family bestowing Thunder Archipelago, nearly a hundred thousand Rock Islanders would have nowhere to reside.
Reluctant to refuse marriage to Hai Gang and having heard of Suo Long’s death, the Rock Queen had already resigned herself to death.
She planned to use her own body to sacrifice to the Sea God.
In doing so, she could also shock the hearts of all the island masters, make all the Rock Islanders obediently leave Rock Island, and submit to the rule of Yan Mo.
Her suicide was for three reasons: to reject the marriage offer, to die for love, and to pave the way for her son one final time.
Passing the throne to Yan Mo in advance was something she had planned long ago.
Years before, she had secretly inquired about Suo Long’s situation, learning that his wife was no longer alive. So, she always fantasized that, the day Rock Island no longer needed her, she would abandon everything, entrust the throne to her son in advance, and then retire to Tianshui City with Suo Long to happily live out her twilight years—and take her daughter with her.
This obsession was what sustained her through her tedious and monotonous life as queen.
