When people inside the Imperial chamber heard Zhao Wang Lei's words, they knew that he had already accepted his fate.
It was strange…how he had been so stubborn in nature and was trying his best to save himself, though his attempts were stupid, he didn't give up.
And now suddenly he didn't seem to have any hope of getting saved.
However, what they didn't know was known to Empress Dowager.
Perhaps that's why her hands were trembling.
There were a few words that kept ringing in her ears. They were said to her by her so-called son when she had also held the sword to kill him in anger that night, however, in the end, her motherly heart still won over her love for her husband.
She had not been able to kill him that night.
'Kill me. Everything would be fine if you will kill me. Zhao Yuang Rong would be able to ascend the throne just as your husband wanted.'
