Chapter 286: The Queen of Silla Empire Remarries Lei Dong?
"This is your queen, are you really willing to give it up?"
Seeing this, Davis made such a condition.
Lei Dong was surprised.
Originally he thought this would be difficult, but he seemed to have underestimated the temptation of the throne to the man in front of him.
Lei Dong has no intention of annexing the entire Douluo Continent.
In fact, it had nothing to do with him at all.
He was just pushed to this position by Bibi Dong.
Now as long as the two empires surrender, the matter can be resolved satisfactorily.
In fact, the reason why Lei Dong is sitting in this position is because he can easily get beauties from all over the world?
And right in front of me is another queen coming to my door!
That would be great.
"Your Majesty, this is also our Star Luo Empire's loyalty to you. I hope you will be satisfied! I believe my queen will understand everything I do!"
At this moment, Davis seemed a little afraid to look at the queen.
Because everyone can feel it, Zhu Zhuyun is probably filled with immense fear and anger at this moment.
Zhu Zhuyun stood there, and she could feel everyone's eyes focused on her, with surprise, sympathy, and amusement.
Her mood was very complicated, and she never thought that she would become a victim of political games.
Her hands were shaking, and the fear and anger in her heart were intertwined, almost suffocating her.
Emperor Davis avoided her gaze. He knew how cruel this decision was for Zhu Zhuyun, but for the future of the Star Luo Empire and for his own throne, he seemed to have no other choice.
Lei Dong observed Zhu Zhuyun with interest, as if assessing her value.
He did not answer Davis' proposal immediately, but took a slow sip of wine, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty Davis, I feel your sincerity. However, just letting the Queen stay as a hostage, It doesn’t seem like enough.”
Davis's face changed, and he asked nervously: "Then what else do you need?"
Lei Dong stood up, walked to Zhu Zhuyun, walked around her, and looked at her carefully.
Zhu Zhuyun felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and she tried not to let her body show fear.
"Queen Zhu Zhuyun, she is indeed beautiful and fragrant. Compared with my beloved concubine Zhu Zhuqing, she has her own merits."
Lei Dong praised, then turned to Davis, "In addition to the Queen being a hostage, I also need some sincerity from the Star Luo Empire."
"What sincerity?"
Davis clenched his fists and his voice was hoarse.
Lei Dong smiled slightly and put forward his conditions: "I need the Star Luo Empire to pay tribute to the Wuhun Empire every year, including rare resources, treasures and some special talents. Of course, I will also guarantee the queen's treatment in the Wuhun Empire so that she can Live a carefree life.”
Emperor Davis was silent. He knew what this condition meant to the Star Luo Empire, but he also understood that if he did not agree, the Star Luo Empire might face a greater crisis.
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Davis, her eyes full of pleading.
But Davis avoided her gaze, unable to face Zhu Zhuyun's desperate eyes.
"I agree."
Davis finally said these three words with difficulty, his heart filled with pain and self-blame.
When Zhu Zhuyun heard this answer, his body softened and he almost fell to the ground.
Her heart felt as if it had been cut by a sharp knife. She never thought that her beloved husband would abandon her for power.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt mixed feelings in his heart. She walked to Zhu Zhuyun and comforted her softly: "Sister, don't be sad, I will take care of you."
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing, a trace of doubt and distrust flashed in her eyes.
She didn't understand why her sister became the concubine of the Wuhun Empire and why she appeared next to her at this time.
Lei Dong looked at Davis and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Your Majesty Davis, you have made a wise choice. From now on, the Star Luo Empire and the Wuhun Empire will be allies."
This negotiation ended with Zhu Zhuyun's sacrifice and the surrender of the Star Luo Empire.
After the initial shock and despair, Zhu Zhuyun gradually calmed down.
She is a smart and strong woman who, after realizing that she cannot change the status quo, chooses to accept reality and find her own foothold.
In the palace of Wuhun Empire, Zhu Zhuyun spent a few days in contemplation.
She knew that her husband Davis had made a difficult choice in order to preserve the throne and the future of the Star Luo Empire.
Although her heart was filled with pain and loss, she also understood that as a queen, her fate had long been closely linked to the rise and fall of the empire.

Late one night, Zhu Zhuyun summoned Zhu Zhuqing.
The two sisters sat opposite each other under the soft moonlight, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes shining with determination.
"younger sister,"
Zhu Zhuyun spoke softly, "I know you have many doubts about me, but now I need your help."
Zhu Zhuqing held Zhu Zhuyun's hand, his eyes full of concern: "Sister, no matter what you need, I will try my best to help you."
Zhu Zhuyun took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "Sister, I have decided. I am willing to remarry Lei Dong. But before that, I need you to help me tell him my decision."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this decision.
She didn't expect Zhu Zhuyun to make such a choice, but then she realized that this might be a sacrifice Zhu Zhuyun made to protect herself and the Xingluo Empire.
"Sister, have you really thought about it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked cautiously.
Zhu Zhuyun nodded, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination: "Yes, I have thought about it. In this place, if I can get Lei Dong's favor, maybe I can get more protection for the Xingluo Empire."
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "Okay, sister, I will help you tell His Majesty Lei Dong."
The next day, Zhu Zhuqing found Lei Dong and told him Zhu Zhuyun's decision.
After hearing this, Lei Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but it was soon replaced by joy.
"Oh? Queen Zhu Zhuyun is willing to remarry me?"
Lei Dong's mouth curled up a playful smile, "This is really an unexpected surprise. Go, tell Queen Zhu Zhuyun that I, Lei Dong, am willing to accept her, and she will become the imperial concubine of my Wuhun Empire."
Zhu Zhuqing returned to Zhu Zhuyun's residence and told her Lei Dong's reply.
After hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun felt a little complicated, but she knew that she had no way out.
But the next moment, the door of the palace was pushed open.
Lei Dong's figure appeared at the door with a smile.
"Great, it seems that you two sisters can be together forever in the future. Forget about that coward in the Xingluo Empire, Zhu Zhuyun!" (End of this chapter)
