Wei Anning's mind raced, trying to discern the deeper meaning of the Queen's words. The more she speculated, the more fearful she became. She suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have never coveted anything that does not belong to me."
"But what if it already belongs to you?" the Queen retorted lightly.
These words scared Wei Anning out of her wits. What did the Queen mean by that? Had she already decided to let her inherit the Queen's throne?
No, impossible. She didn't even have the ability to manage a company, much less a country. She must be joking, deliberately trying to frighten her. "Your Majesty, although I am a Royal Lady by birth, I lack the talent for governance and cannot bear the burden of a nation. If you really entrust the country to me, within three months, I will ruin it."
"Hahaha!" The Queen suddenly burst into hearty laughter, and the attendant behind her let a smile slip onto their lips.
