Eight years ago, the Duke of Fuguo's favorite concubine gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. The Duke of Fuguo loved them very much and treated them like treasures.
This concubine who gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, was not a good person either. She made trouble for the Duke's wife every day. The Duke doted on the concubine and actually sided with her.
The relationship between the wife of the Duke of Fuguo and this concubine can be described as like water and fire.
Naturally, the relationship between the twins and the Queen's siblings was not very harmonious.
The Queen wanted to use Jiang Yi's stepsister to check and balance Jiang Yi, so the Emperor naturally thought of using the Queen's illegitimate sister to check and balance the Queen.
So three days later, Qiu Wu, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Fuguo, came to Jiang Yi after visiting the queen in the palace.
They told others that Qiu Wu was delighted to see Jiang Yi, and asked to accompany Jiang Yi.
When the queen heard about this, she didn't think too much about it. She just thought that her concubine sister simply wanted to curry favor with Jiang Yi because she saw that Jiang Yi was about to give birth to the only heir to the emperor.
She also laughed at her concubine sister with the palace maids for being so short-sighted that she actually tried to curry favor with Jiang Yi, the daughter of a minor official.
Even if I give birth to a royal heir, I will always be just a concubine.
Besides, she had never thought about Jiang Yi giving birth to the child alive.
The palace maids below naturally flattered her and said that a concubine's child was not worthy of being in public.
But the queen was not as relaxed and calm as she appeared.
It was because Jiang Die had been doing some cleaning work outside the palace and could not get close to Jiang Yi.
If Jiang Die is unable to serve Jiang Yi closely, then what use will Jiang Die be when Jiang Yi gives birth in the future?
The queen was anxious and thought of a way.
One afternoon, Jiang Yi went out for a walk as usual. Suddenly, a palace maid rushed out and tried to stab Jiang Yi with a knife. Jiang Die came out in time and blocked the knife for Jiang Yi.
The dagger stabbed Jiang Die's back, not a vital part, but a lot of blood still flowed.
Jiang Die was in so much pain, and at this moment, she couldn't help but blame Jiang Yi.
If it weren't for Jiang Yi, she wouldn't have to suffer so much.
These days she served in the outer palace, doing all the dirty work, and was constantly scolded and sometimes even beaten by the eunuchs and palace maids whom she looked down upon.
Jiang Die felt that this must be Jiang Yi's revenge on her.
But she was forced by the Queen to take the blame for Jiang Yi and win his trust.
As for Jiang Yi, who was blocked by Jiang Die, he just ordered people to take the little palace maid away and torture her.
Only at last did he remember to have Jiang Die taken away for treatment. From beginning to end, Jiang Yi did not show the slightest sign of being moved.
Jiang Die felt pain and was worried.
Does Jiang Yi believe her?
If Jiang Yi didn't let her serve him closely, wouldn't the Queen continue to torment her?
Fortunately, after Jiang Die rested for a few days, Jiang Yi finally let her into the inner room.
After serving closely, she saw more and more how well the emperor treated Jiang Yi. He was so considerate and gentle, not like an emperor at all.
When she was on guard at night, she could hear the emperor's loving yet restrained voice.
This made Jiang Die doubt the Queen's previous warning to her.
It is a man's nature to be amorous and lustful. Even a man like her stepfather could not afford to support a concubine, but he also had affairs with other women.
Not to mention the emperor.
Is the emperor really only interested in Jiang Yi?
Jiang Die didn't think so.
She was a little skeptical and didn't want to see Jiang Yi being favored by the emperor like this.
She wants to do something.
The next day, when the emperor returned from court, Jiang Yi was still asleep.
Jiang Die stepped forward and earnestly served tea to the emperor.
"The Emperor treats my sister so well. I am happy for her from the bottom of my heart." Jiang Die said with feigned envy, "No one would have thought that after going through what happened to my uncle, my sister could still enter the palace and be treated like this by the Emperor."
She seemed to be speaking casually, but suddenly realized that she had said something out of turn and covered her mouth.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. What happened between my sister and the old uncle is a thing of the past. Although my sister wanted to climb up the social ladder at that time, she was ultimately unsuccessful."
He also said, "Although my sister and the wife of Marquis Wu'an are mother and daughter, they are still different in the end."
"Please don't think too much."
She looked extremely regretful, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
For Jiang Yi, the existence of the Cheng family is a stain that can never be washed away.
Whenever people think of Cheng, they will think of what she had done and that Jiang Yi is Cheng's daughter.
Cheng is fickle, what good can Jiang Yinan do?
These people naturally include the emperor.
The emperor is also a normal man. How could he allow such a fickle woman to be by his side?
Even though Jiang Yi is pregnant now, the emperor is naturally not as nice to her as before.
These are what Jiang Die thought in her heart.
However, the fact is that the emperor didn't even raise his eyelids, and directly ordered people to take Jiang Die away and beat him with fifty sticks.
In fact, Jiang Die was still useful to him, otherwise he would have wanted to beat her to death.
Pei Siliang didn't look at Jiang Die, but he could imagine how ugly Jiang Die's face was just now.
It had been a long time since anyone had made him this disgusted.
Pei Siliang returned to the inner room. Jiang Yi woke up slowly, still a little confused, and subconsciously reached out to him.
He naturally picked her up and dressed her out of habit.
Jiang Yi seemed to hear some noise outside while he was dazed, so he asked, "What happened outside?"
Pei Siliang said: "Just some insignificant little things."
"Brother Pei, I miss Yuan a little bit."
Jiang Die has been hanging around her these past few days, and she couldn't help but think of the past.
