Is not the one I dreamt of,
The life he has,
Is not the one I want into.

She looked at one of the court ladies and said, "Call the royal physician. The destined Queen is unconscious."
Lei Jie looked up at his mother and the tears welled up in his eyes. Empress Zhang Lian sat down on her throne and put her hands by her forehead. Emperor Li Jing turned his heel around, wanted to check what happened to his son's soon-to-be wife.
