Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 1160

Darryl had his heart in his mouth. The Empress almost executed him because he played wildly with the Princess earlier.

Now, he even trespassed into her bedroom, he would definitely be sentenced to death if he was found.

'Luckily, it's only the Empress and me here, and the Empress is drunk. If I were to sneak out secretly, the Empress would not notice,’ he thought.

Darryl was about to leave when he saw the Empress stand up unstably with her face flushed as she was drunk. She then walked slowly towards the painting.

'Did she notice me?' he wondered.

Darryl's heart was pounding; he was so

nervous.

"Dear."

He saw the Empress' eyes gazing at the painting as she spoke softly, "It's your birthday today. Do you know that I couldn't sleep on this special day? My mind is full of images of you. Although you passed away just a few months ago, it feels like you've been gone for years. I miss you so much.”

On the painting was a middle-aged man, dressed in dragon robes, looking smart! He was the late emperor of the South Cloud World. He was also the Empress's husband.

A few months ago, an assassin broke into the Palace, assassinated the late emperor, and left. After he was murdered, his wife had taken over the throne and became the Empress.

The late emperor had two wives. One was the incumbent Empress, and the other was the Guang Ping Empress’s sister, Denise. After the South Cloud World Emperor died, Denise returned to the New World as she found it boring to live in the South Cloud World.

Darryl swallowed. He could guess that the person in the painting was the Empress’s husband. At that moment, Darryl was hiding behind the painting. He heard the Empress mumbling to herself.

Darryl was anxious; the Empress stood in front of the painting. When would he be able to leave?
