"I Tang Aiming won't be the Queen of this Kingdom from now henceforth.." she undid her hair and got rid of everything that were the symbols of being a queen.
"Mother? What's the meaning of this? What do you think you are doing?" The First Prince fumed in anger, if it wasn't for that Queen title, how would other princes treat him with respect.
"Hahaha.. I won't be the Queen for the rest of my remaining life.." she felt disappointed and didn't want to have anything to do with them.
"Mother, you better retract your words back this minutes.." the first prince held her shoulders shaking them as he yelled at her.
She didn't look at him but rather let him rant until he was exhausted.
"You are crazy.. don't think that once you relinquish your powers you won't live in this Kingdom.." Dragon King was angered by how easily it was for her to denounce him.
"It doesn't matter.." she closed her eyes and exhaled deeply,she finally feeled free, she smiled gently as blood trickled down her lips.
"Mother.. you can't be this selfish!" First Prince was also annoyed with her mother's actions, it was a matter of days before they be proven innocent.
He shook her roughly, "mother.." but the entire body swayed sideways and she was already dead.
"Mother..." He panicked as he placed his fingers across her nose to feel her breath but she was no more.
The King also dashed in to check on her but she was already dead.
"What? I thought... I thought..." He couldn't come up with any other words.
The first prince pushed his father away, "Get lost.. don't touch her.."
This was his mother no matter how much she acted on his behalf, she was still his mother..
"Mother.." he hugged her body shaking it, it felt like a big joke had befallen against him.
The King stumbled back as he looked at his son and wife.. while stabilizing his footing, now they become estranged.
"Son, we need to let the physician...."
"Get lost.. I said get lost..." He cut him short before he could finish up his words.
News travels faster and everyone came to know that the Empress had succumbed to death under uncertain circumstances.
Lin Juan had just arrived back at the Healing Pond and those news tagged behind him.
He turned around and dashed down to the dungeon cell only to see the King standing a distance in a daze and confused state while the first prince held her body.
He moved forward and checked on her using her divine sense.
She had been poisoned for a very long time and her releasing the worm poison was enough to kill her without any struggle.
"What happened? When I left here she was fine." He questioned them coldly, these two could be the only ones who could push her to the end.
"It's him, he is the sole reason she committed suicide.. it's him. " The first prince pointed his finger towards the King.
The King finally realized the kind of animosity his son had towards him, now their bond was irreparable.
"Stop pointing fingers at me.. you are the one who pushed her to her limits.."
" You are a selfish son.. you won't even pity your mother, it's your greediness..."
" Who are you to lecture me? I'm telling you; you are the sole reason she died.. she has always been supportive of you until now she is exhausted and still you didn't give her what she deserves..."
" What do you mean by saying she deserved? What does she deserve? Power.. or it's you who wants it? You are the one who pushed her to her abyss, but I love her.."
" You think you are that of a good husband? Humphhh! You think I don't know? You got her sister pregnant and caused her death but you had the guts to say you love her.. what a fickled love..."
" What? What are you saying?" The King stammered as he looked at her son, he thought no one knew his dark secrets.
"You are the sole reason she gave up.. you totally exhausted and exploited her as the Kingdom's Queen.. you are her murderer.."
" You have really gone crazy.. you are crazy..." He regained some vigor as he retorted back.
" Hahahaha... I will go back to my mother's clan.. I cease to be the prince of this Kingdom.."
" Hehehe.. let me tell you; you shall and forever be the prince of this Kingdom whether you like it or not! My blood is flowing through your veins..."
" Hahaha then you are mistaken, I'm not your son.. mark my words.. I'm not your son.."
" Hehehe you are crazy! Very crazy! You have gone crazy!"
"That's the truth, you have to accept it.. I'm not and will never be your son.."
Lin Juan stood aside and just watched them go against each other, he didn't need to do anything to stop them.
"She.. she cheated on me? She cheated on me?" The King paled when the realization struck him.
" Humphhh! You destroyed the man she ever loved and her peaceful life just because you needed the support from her clan to surpass other Princes so that you could be the King.."
" Hahaha you are lying.. you are lying.. you are lying.. she has always loved me.."
" Your tenth brother, the man you killed is my father and my brother's.. still you are not worthy it in her heart.."
" Brother what do you mean by that?" This was sure a huge revelation.
"The seventh prince of the first generation is our father and he was the one who was supposed to be crowned but this man here killed him.. because of greedy you killed your own blood brother and even coveted his woman."
" It's not true.. not true.. she lied.. you are lying.."
" Brother, I will go back to my mother's clan with her body.. she will be buried there as a Princess she is and never the Queen of this Kingdom.."
" All right.. I will prepare the carriage.."
" No! She is the Dragon Queen.. she will have to be buried here.." the King spoke out harshly.
" She earlier relinquished her powers and ditched that title.. so don't your dare stop me.. I will take her back home where she could rest in peace.."
" No! She will be buried here as a Queen and that's final.. but since you are my brother's son.. you will still have a place in this Kingdom.."
" Brother.. I need a carriage.. I will get her body out of this Kingdom even if I have to walk through the pile of dead bodies.." did he care? No.. all he thought of is giving his mother some peace in the underworld..
