"The emperor was only injured in his right arm, but what he wanted was the lives of the entire Wu'an Marquis family."
"I'm not here today just to plead for Marquis Wu'an, I'm also concerned about you. How do you expect the other ministers to view you if you persecute a loyal official like this?"
The emperor just looked at the empress dowager coldly.
There was no affection between him and the Queen Mother.
Perhaps it can be said that he was born without any emotions. In the past few years, he has been more like a walking corpse.
The late emperor was good to him, and he remembered this kindness, but he was not sure how moved he was.
The Queen Mother had always treated him very well and was a very gentle person.
The Queen Mother was his biological mother, so naturally he had to respect her.
But the prerequisite is that the Queen Mother does not violate his taboos.
He hated stupid people the most, and the Queen Mother was a stupid person in his eyes.
Of course, he was not angry in his heart, because he did not have deep feelings for his biological mother. He was about to speak when Jiang Yi came out from the inner room.
Jiang Yi bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, I greet you. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."
The Queen Mother had a hint of impatience. "What are you doing here? I'm discussing serious matters with the Emperor. You must know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
Jiang Yi asked, "Isn't the Queen Mother a member of the harem?"
"How can I be the same? I am the emperor's biological mother!"
"Yes, you also know that you are the emperor's biological mother." Jiang Yi's face showed a mocking expression, "People who don't know would think you are Wu'an Marquis's biological mother, and you are so considerate of Wu'an Marquis."
The Queen Mother's face flushed. She pointed at Jiang Yi and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Yi was not afraid of her at all. "Of course it means literally. As a mother, no matter if she is right or wrong, the first thing she sees is her son."
"No matter how minor the injury to my son is, it should be my son who feels the pain, not an outsider."
"What do you know?" The Queen Mother was annoyed by her words. "I am doing this to prevent the Emperor from being talked about by outsiders."
"Marquis Wu'an first instigated the Empress Dowager's estrangement from the Emperor, and then instigated his daughter to kill the Emperor. If, under such circumstances, the Emperor is still forced to compromise for a trivial discussion, then what is the point of being an Emperor?"
"Hasn't the Queen Mother seen what he did?"
"The Queen Mother is simply selfish. She is so selfish that she would force the already innocent Gu Niaoniao onto the Emperor, just to have an heir who will be loyal to her."
"It's okay if you're selfish, but you also want to treat the emperor as a fool. Brother Pei is not a fool!"
Jiang Yi has a very good temper, but this time she was really angry.
She felt sorry for the emperor.
The emperor is such a good man, how could he have such a mother?
She used to think that the emperor was out of her reach, but she discovered that he was also an ordinary person and had all the troubles that ordinary people have.
Pei Siliang just stood there watching quietly, his gaze long and gazing into the unreachable distance.
He couldn't help but think of Jiang Yi in his previous life.
At that time, he had never shown his weakness in front of her. He was strong and omnipotent.
Perhaps it was because of this that Jiang Yi left him without hesitation.
Because she felt that she was so powerful that she should not be afraid of anything.
It turns out it was wrong from the beginning.
The empress dowager was so angry that she reached out to hit Jiang Yi. The emperor looked at the empress dowager with displeasure.
"Empress Dowager, what Xiaoyi said is exactly what I was thinking. In order to avoid embarrassment for both you and me in the future, please move to another palace on the pretext of recuperating." The emperor said lightly, his words distant, as if he was just informing the empress dowager of this decision.
It was only at this time that the Empress Dowager discovered that the Emperor no longer called her "Mother".
Is she really wrong?
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand everything. Everything you have experienced in other palaces is similar to what you have experienced in the palace now. It's just that I don't want to see you again."
The most important thing is that he didn't want Jiang Yi to suffer from the Queen Mother's anger again.
The empress dowager wanted to struggle, but the emperor had someone ask her to leave.
He walked towards Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi held his hand and said quickly: "Brother Pei, don't be sad, Xiaoyi will always be with you."
"In Xiaoyi's heart, you are always the first."
Pei Siliang's mind moved slightly, "Is it more important than A Yuan?"
Jiang Yi nodded without hesitation.
"Because of Brother Pei, Yuan and I can live well. You are the most important person to both me and Yuan."
Pei Siliang hugged her tightly in his arms, resting his chin on Jiang Yi's head and said, "Although I am very sad and disappointed to be treated like this by my mother, but with Xiaoyi, I am finally not too sad."
"Xiaoyi and Ayuan, but from now on, I only have Xiaoyi."
"Without Xiaoyi, I won't be able to survive."
The emperor's sudden confession made Jiang Yi feel a little heavy in his heart.
She still remembered him once saying that he was born for her.
I didn’t believe it when I first saw it, but now when I think about it, I feel like crying.
"Xiaoyi will always be with you." Jiang Yi said.
The incident at the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion caused a huge uproar in the court. Not long after, the empress dowager also moved to another palace, but the harem was peaceful.
The Queen did not know about the affair between Marquis Wu'an and the Queen Mother, but she knew that the Queen Mother had always liked Gu Niaoniao very much, so she guessed that the Queen Mother had annoyed the Emperor because of Gu Niaoniao.
Besides, the incident at Renshou Palace was no secret.
Although the Queen Mother was no longer a heavy burden on her, the Queen still felt heavy in her heart.
What Concubine Shu said turned out to be true. There really were men in this world who were only interested in one woman.
It's not that he's impotent, it's that he simply doesn't like other women.
And this man is the emperor.
In other words, only Jiang Yi could give birth to the royal heir.
She was unworthy of being the queen, but she could never be the mother of the prince in her life.
Thinking of this, the queen felt upset.
In fact, Jiang Yi's family background is suitable. As the daughter of a minor official, even if she gave birth to a child, she would be like a rootless duckweed in the harem.
The bad thing is that this person is favored by the emperor and his status is second only to hers, like a vice-empress.
Then her idea of adopting Jiang Yi's child would be shattered.
But she is the queen, and this only heir must be raised under her wing.
She wanted to do something to Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi lived in Jinhua Palace, right under the emperor's nose. If she was not careful, the empress dowager's fate today would be hers.
We have to think of a way.
The queen fell into meditation.
