Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 188 Queen Fu Shou's Confession
When everyone heard what Wen Chou said, they nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had made this decision, Ju Shou looked at Zhang Sui with a smile and said, "General Zhang, I'll trouble you during this period of time."

"I'll leave it to you to send the queen back to Yecheng."

"You're staying with me outside today."

"Tomorrow, select some people from the cavalry and send them back."

"This is the Queen, you know."

Zhang Sui scratched his face and glanced at Yan Liang beside him.

Yan Liang's old face turned red and he retreated behind Qian Zhao awkwardly.

Zhang Sui said, "Okay then, get me some clothes to wear."

Ju Su sent someone to deliver clothes.

Yan Liang and his men said goodbye.

Zhang Sui put on his clothes and watched everyone leave. Then he came to the door of Queen Fu Shou's house alone, pulled out the dagger, and wiped it gently with his sleeve.

His ears stood up high.

As soon as he heard any movement in the room, he rushed in.

Protecting the queen is not an easy task.

What if she commits suicide?

Even if she has no status now, she can't escape the consequences.

At least one charge of dereliction of duty must be taken.

However, among the generals today, his official position is the lowest.

If he doesn't take responsibility for the problems, who will?
After wiping the dagger for a while, Zhang Sui didn't hear any movement in the room and felt a little nervous.

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Sui still whispered inside: "Queen?"

There was no response from the room.

Zhang Sui was a little flustered. He stood up quickly, approached the door, and whispered again, "Queen?"

The Queen's hoarse voice came from the room: "Don't be afraid, General. I didn't commit suicide. I'm still alive!"

Zhang Sui’s old face turned red.

My little secret was exposed.

Zhang Sui smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, Queen, you continue to rest."

Thinking of her heart-wrenching cry today, Zhang Sui couldn't help but comfort her and said, "In this world, apart from birth, aging, illness and death, everything else is not a big deal."

“We cannot decide birth, aging, sickness and death, but our bodies can actually feel it.”

"Everything else, whether it's family affection, love between husband and wife, or even betrayal, is illusory."

"You don't care anymore. These are not a big deal."

There was no response from the room.

Seeing this, Zhang Sui stopped trying to persuade him, but continued to sit at the door, holding his sword in both hands and gesticulating back and forth.

After a long while, a voice came from the room: "General, are you the one who gave me the clothes just now?"

Zhang Sui said: "That's what I should do."

The Queen asked, "General, are you indifferent to the betrayal of your family?"

Zhang Sui said: "Family love is actually just like that."

"You really don't care. It's not a big deal."

“When a person is born, he is a person.”

"In the end, it's also a person who is buried underground."

“Family love is actually just accompanying a person for a short period of life.”

"Not to mention, some family relationships can't even be considered as companionship."

The queen was silent again, and after a long while she said, "Before I followed Your Majesty to Hongnong Port, I wrote a letter to my father."

Zhang Sui was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that the queen could continue chatting with me.

But thinking back to the history books, this queen seemed to be named Fu Shou. She seemed to have been lonely all her life and died in misery.

It's normal to want to find someone to talk to.

Zhang Sui nodded.

The Queen said, "I have told my father that the Emperor has no interest in me. I have had a rough journey and have been bullied by my ministers, but the Emperor has never offered me any comfort."

"When I escaped from Chang'an, General Dong Cheng even killed my personal maid, took my silk, killed my brother, and kicked me in the abdomen."

"I want to seek justice from the emperor, but he never sees me."

"I wrote to my father, the Praetorian Guard, asking him to take me away."

"My father said that I am now the emperor's woman. Even if the emperor kills me, and kills me in front of him, I deserve to die. He will not do it, so I should give up this idea."

"He said that I am the emperor's man in life and the emperor's ghost in death. I have nothing to do with the Fuji family anymore." Zhang Sui looked down at the sword in his hand and sighed.

The Queen continued, "This time, General Dong Cheng sent the Tiger Guards to rescue Concubine Dong and get her on board. I—"

At this point, the queen's voice trembled.

When Zhang Sui heard this, he felt extremely heavy.

If he and his wife, Cai Wenji, Hongyu and others encountered these dangerous situations.

He would rather die than abandon them and escape alone.

He would never be like Emperor Liu Xie.

Thinking of the countless praises that Liu Xie received from people in later generations, Zhang Sui shook his head.

He really couldn't praise Liu Xie enough.

However, he also understood that there was no comparison.

The education I received since childhood was different from that of these ancient people.

Zhang Sui said in a hoarse voice: "Queen, as a subject, there are some things I shouldn't say."

"But I think that even in this chaotic world, the only one who can help myself is myself."

"It's not just men who should listen to this, women should listen to this as well."

"Although Empress Lu of Emperor Gaozu was criticized by later generations, I have always believed that she was quite good to have achieved this."

"It is only because the history books were written by men, by the sons of the noble families, that the Lu family is despised by others."

"Don't put your hopes on your so-called father, family, husband or anyone else."

“Today is actually a lesson for us.”

"After all, the queen is the queen. If she makes good use of her status, she may not be able to be 'second only to the emperor' in this chaotic world, but she is more than capable of protecting herself."

"Women are not all weak."

"I know someone, her name is Zhang, she is the helmsman of the Zhen family in Wuji County."

"Her husband died young."

"Although she was a weak woman, she had a family to support. She alone supported such a large family."

“No one helped her.”

"She supported it all by herself."

"Queen, you are the queen. If the mistress of a small family can do it, you can definitely do it too."

Zhang Sui didn't say anything else.

His wife's smiling face appeared in his mind.

He hadn't seen his wife for a long time.

He really missed her a little.

The Queen hummed.

After a while, the door opened.

The queen came out.

Zhang Sui hurriedly stood up, bowed to the queen and said, "Queen!"

The Queen said to Zhang Sui, "General, please raise your head."

Zhang Sui raised his head and met the queen's eyes.

The Queen looked at Zhang Sui and praised him, "The General looks very young. How old is he?"

Zhang Sui said, "Seventeen."

The Queen said, "About my age."

Zhang Sui didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "Yeah."

The Queen then said, "General, come in with me. I need your help with something."

Having said that, he turned and went into the house.

Zhang Sui looked around.

There was no one around.

There was only two soldiers guarding the door in the distance.

This is Yewang County.

All the people in the entire Yewang County fled because of the repeated invasions by the Huns.

Now, only Wen Chou's infantry are stationed in this county town.

There is not even a maid.

Zhang Sui hesitated slightly. In this situation, he was not worried about other people talking nonsense.

Zhang Sui walked in.
