"I have lot things to say to you, but initially I am not in the mood to even bother," Emperor Zhong said.
"Your Majesty, Please be kind and forgive me, I have lost the sight of logic," The Empress bowed.
"Clearly but I am not forgiving kind, I have just one question for you,"
The Empress lookup, shaking.
"How did Sun Tao get out of his prison? Did you have your hand in it?" He asked.
"N...no! Your majesty, I had no hand in it, "She shook her head frantically.
"Then how and why did you help him?"
"Your Majesty I..."
Emperor Zhong raised his hand.
"Save me the tedious excuses or explanations, what I am curious about is that your arrogance when I come asking about where is Ling and now here you are on your knees. How he approached you and get his hand on Ling? Answer me!" His voice echoed with fury in the study and the Empress shudder in terror.
"He...he...." Empress kept her composure as best she could as she told him.
