Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 155
“It wasn’t me who put Queen Marguerite in danger—it was you.”
“What did you say?”
Strozzi’s audacious retort made Madam Carla’s fingertips tremble violently.
“What servant in this world unilaterally pursues their own politics without consulting their sovereign? Poisoning your ruler to eliminate rivals? You’re insane.”
“Shut that filthy mouth of yours!”
In truth, this was something Madam Carla had vaguely feared herself. Hearing it spoken aloud—especially from the lips of a co-conspirator—made her want to block her ears entirely.
But Madam Carla had her own words to say.
“Then what about you?! After Queen Marguerite granted you refuge and helped you resettle in Etruria following your exile from the Kingdom of Galico, instead of protecting Her Majesty, you sent her poison?”
“Who ever said I did well? I merely wanted to point out that you’re just as much garbage as I am, Lady Dieudonné.”
The man continued without a care.
“You knew all along there was someone from Palais de Montpellier behind me. You also wanted to impress our new sovereign, didn’t you?”
“Shut that wretched mouth!”
Madam Carla couldn’t honestly deny it. Hoping for the favor of King Philippe IV, she’d gone beyond propriety to accommodate Grand Duchess Larisa. She told herself it was out of compassion for a young compatriot in a distant land—but deep down, she knew it was all just excuses.
“You had a vague idea of what that powder mixed into the citron water really was, didn’t you?”
For the past three years, Madam Carla had been receiving a fragrant powder from Strozzi and stirring it into Queen Marguerite’s citron water. Strozzi claimed it was a rare spice blend made by roasting vanilla beans from the Moorish Empire with pomelos from Acireto.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
