Abandoned Princess

My husband was a prince. And we were childhood sweethearts.

After his concubine caused me to miscarry, he sent me to a remote farm for recuperation.

Three years later, he came to take me home.

With injuries all over my body, I said I wanted a divorce.

He cried and begged me not to leave.

I didn't tell him I was dying.

The dilapidated farm suddenly became lively.

I heard Daisy's panicked shouting.

"Prince Joseph is coming!"

Hearing the word "Prince", I uncontrollably trembled.

The world in my eyes turned upside down.

I was doing stitchwork. I was so panicked that the needle punctured my finger.

I stared blankly at the blood.

It was as red as the blood I had shed when Joseph Blake's concubine, Queenie Smith, had caused me to miscarry.

My father was a general. After I became an orphan, I moved into Blake Mansion. Joseph and I had lived under the same roof for more than ten years before we finally got married.

I was poor in health. The Imperial Doctor said I would become infertile if I miscarried.

But Queenie's maid tricked me into walking on talcum powder by saying Joseph was seriously injured.

In the scarlet blood, I lost our only child.

I cried, "Joseph, our child is gone. We will never have another one!"

"It's Queenie! I am sure it's her who killed our little Prince. I beg you, Joseph! We have known each other for eleven years. This is the only thing I have ever asked you to do for me. Divorce her! No! Kill her! Kill her, please! Joseph, I beg you!"

I almost had a mental breakdown when I clutched his arm and bitterly begged him.

"Claire, please calm down."

Joseph tried to push my hand away but failed because I held his arm tightly.

Queenie knelt beside my bed and burst into tears.

"I don't know how I offended you. But you should not have thrown mud at me like this. I feel so wronged."

Joseph wanted to help her up, so he tried to break away from my grip. Seeing this, I put forth more strength, refusing to let go.

I must be in a mess.

I looked like a dying lioness still defending her last bit of dignity.

Queenie wiped her tears with her sleeve and sobbed, "I have nothing to do with your miscarriage. Since you don't believe me, I will use my death to prove my innocence!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed toward the wooden pillar.

Joseph exerted more strength, roughly pushed me away, and stopped her from committing suicide.

I lost all my strength.

When I collapsed on the bed, my chaotic mind became clear.

Finally, I desperately realized Joseph didn't love me.

I smiled.

My pillow got wet.

The marriage I had asked for from the emperor turned out to be a grave.

But I swore to guard it until my death.

When I was in a daze, Daisy rushed into my room.

She pinched me hard at the waist where others couldn't see.

"Prince Joseph is here. Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, I will tell him that thing!"

The pinch woke me up.

I tried my best to shrink into the corner to avoid her hand, attempting to relieve the pain.

"I know! I know! Please don't te...
