Shadows of Flowers in the Moonlight

Pain, such a pain...

Emily Thompson slowly opened her eyes, looking at the faint light coming through the window, and with some difficulty, she reached out her hand to shield her eyes from the light.

Her whole body ached terribly, as if it had fallen apart, her lips were swollen, and even licking them caused pain. Her head was also heavy, as if she had a slight fever.

The empty bed beside her was already cold, clearly telling Emily that William Harrison had left a long time ago.

Is he now in Sarah Parkers palace?

A wave of bitterness spread in Emilys heart, and her delicate eyes were filled with a hint of sourness.

Again, like this!

People in the harem said that the emperor was fair to all, although he favored Lily Consort, but he never neglected the queen.

But the truth was, every time between her and him, rather than a favor, it was more like a punishment.

Every time, on the bed, he never showed any warmth, his sharp eyes carried no affection, and he never cared whether she could bear it or not. Or perhaps, his intention was to make her suffer!

Slowly closing her eyes, tears slid from the corners of her eyes. Emily knew that William never liked her. Even though she had liked him for so many years, in the end, it was not enough to match Sarahs light smile. Even his marriage to her as the queen was just because of his consideration for his aunt, the Queen Mothers decree.

For her aunt, she was a chip to stabilize and maintain the position of the Lin family and her own position as the Queen Mother. For William, she was a queen who made him feel disgusted and ashamed. For herself, she was just a poor person who loved someone who didnt like her at all!

Outside the door, there was a faint sound of footsteps.

"Your Majesty, are you getting up?" Lily Green, the maid, stood outside the door and asked gently.

Emily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, suppressed the pain in her heart, took a deep breath, and tried to speak normally: "Come in."

The door was slowly pushed open, and Lily walked to Emilys bedside, putting down the copper basin in her hand, "Your Majesty, let your servant serve you to wash up."

In the light that came into the room, Lily looked up at Emily and quickly flashed a trace of heartache in her eyes, then lowered her head again.

She was sent by the emperor to serve the queen, of course, her task was not only to serve, but also to monitor.

But over time, she felt that the queen was really a good woman, but unfortunately, she didnt know why the emperor hated the queen so much. As a result, she didnt dare to get too close to the queen.

Emily didnt notice Lilys expression, or rather, she didnt care anymore. At the beginning, she was a bit evasive in front of Lily, but after a long time, she didnt care anymore.

For so long, how could Lily not notice at all, and the few maids who served her closely, but they all kept silent, as if there was nothing strange. And the only explanation was that they were all sent by William.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Emilys mouth, and she remembered that her aunt had arranged people in her palace to grasp the situation between her and William in time, but now it seems that those people are probably Williams people.

But even if those people told her aunt about her situation, what could they do?

Her aunt is not Williams biological mother after all, and she can see that although William respects her on the surface, he is not actually like that. And for some reason, she always feels that William seems to hate her aunt very much.
