Could it be that in his heart she was such a vicious person?
Moreover, as a newcomer to the palace, Concubine Jiang did not even come to pay her respects.
Was it Concubine Shu who gave her the courage?
The queen was so angry that she immediately picked up the vase at hand and threw it to the ground, but it was caught by Crown Prince Li Zhao who had just arrived.
After Li Zhao returned to Beijing, he only met the empress dowager once.
The queen scolded Li Zhao for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and abandoning all the burdens of the capital to go to the border. If it were not for her hard work over the years, Li Zhao's position as crown prince would have been abolished long ago.
Li Zhao said that he was not interested in the position of crown prince. The mother and son parted unhappily, and Li Zhao never entered the palace again.
Seeing Li Zhao now, the queen's already gloomy mood became even worse.
The Queen said, "Look, this is the brother you thought you had. Today, to please your father, he personally gave his father a woman. What kind of brother do you still think he is? Ridiculous!"
"Everyone else knows how to make progress, but you choose to hide away and make things difficult for me. And you still don't understand my painstaking efforts."
"Why did I do all this? It's all for you."
"You blame me for being vicious and utilitarian, but if it weren't for me being vicious and utilitarian, how could we be where we are today? Perhaps I would have been plotted to death when I first entered the palace."
“Who am I working so hard for?”
It was still the same old topic. Over the years, the Empress Dowager's letters to Li Zhao mostly contained these contents, and Li Zhao's ears felt callused from hearing them so many times.
He did not agree with the Queen's words, and he never needed her to do this for him. A man should achieve great things on the battlefield and in the court, not in the harem.
He doesn't engage in conspiracies. If he does, he will engage in open and aboveboard conspiracies.
A capable crown prince does not need to resort to such despicable means.
The queen's words fell on deaf ears and passed through the hall, but Li Zhao was still shocked when he heard that Prince Heng offered his daughter to the old emperor.
It sounds absurd that a son would give a woman to his father.
Li Zhao certainly knew that after so many years, people would change, including Li Song.
But this change is a bit too big.
Li Zhao thought of Jiang Yi again and the things he had investigated.
Jiang Yi has a close relationship with King Heng. She and Jiang Xue were adopted by King Heng when she was six years old. The parents Jiang Yi mentioned did not exist, but were referring to King Heng.
After some investigation, he found out that Jiang Xue was favored by an old man, and King Heng wanted Jiang Yi to replace Jiang Xue.
But Prince Heng is not an ordinary person, and he has to curry favor with any old man.
Thinking of the queen's words, Li Zhao's heart tightened.
"What was the name of the woman that Prince Heng sent into the palace?" he suddenly asked.
The Empress Dowager was pleased that Li Zhao finally understood what was important, so she said, "This girl's name is Xu Yi. Your father has given her another name, and now she is Consort Jiang."
The only two words left in Li Zhao's mind were "Xu Yi", which lingered for a long time.
Jiang Yi never told Li Zhao her name. It was Li Zhao who found out Jiang Yi's name.
The Empress Dowager then added, "Even the name is exactly the same as that of the young one from the Jiang family. It's easy to tell what the Shufei and her son are planning."
Li Zhao didn't listen. He just said hurriedly: "I will go and see the emperor."
The queen thought he had finally learned how to please the old emperor, and hurriedly said, "That's the way it should be. Go quickly, go quickly..."
After leaving Ci'an Palace, Li Zhao forced himself to calm down.
When Li Zhao first learned about the relationship between Jiang Yi and King Heng, and that Jiang Yi was given to his father by King Heng, the first thought in his mind was deep regret.
He originally thought that there was a long way to go, but it was all his delusion.
The girl he fell in love with at first sight had a close relationship with his younger brother, and now she had even become his father's woman. Everything was so absurd, but it was true.
He regretted at that time that if he had not let anyone leave him when he first met Jiang Yi, everything would have been better.
This is the first year in his mind.
But after he calmed down and sorted out the whole thing, Li Zhao couldn't help but feel suspicious about whether this was a conspiracy.
Everything Li Song did showed that he had changed and they were no longer good brothers.
Maybe it's not that they have changed. From the very beginning, they could not be brothers.
Jiang Yi was adopted by Li Song and became Li Song's man.
So was it a coincidence that he met Jiang Yi outside the city of Beijing, or was it intentional by Li Song?
Li Song first let Jiang Yi attract his attention, and then let Jiang Yi enter the palace to become his father's woman. This behavior is worth pondering.
If he had been a little more foolish and had had something with his father's woman, it goes without saying what the outcome would be for him.
This beauty trap is really insidious, but it does work.
He almost fell for it.
Li Song calmed down and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. Ever since the day when the Jiang family was wiped out when he was twelve years old, Li Zhao knew that the coming and going of fate in this world is always a sudden thing.
The wife he had once believed in was suddenly gone, and he had to accept this fact.
He had to accept that the girl he liked became his father's woman.
All he can do is to control his inner thoughts and not make mistakes, and he will definitely be able to do it.
Li Zhao came to Longgan Palace. At that time, the old emperor was accompanying Jiang Yi to fly a kite. He looked over from afar and saw the familiar figure leaning against his father. Her silver bell-like laughter rang in her ears, but to Li Zhao, it sounded like a devil's sound.
