The last time was when she was called over by the Queen Consort. She waited outside the door for a long time and heard a fierce quarrel between the Queen Consort and the Crown Prince.
Not long after, the prince came out.
The prince stared at her face in a trance for a long time, then asked, "Do you want to be buried alive with your father?"
Jiang Yi said at the time: "Whether or not to be buried alive is not something I can decide."
She heard the man sigh, and then the prince handed her a brocade box and said, "Open it at the critical moment and you can save your life."
Jiang Yi accepted the brocade box.
She could feel at that time that the prince was kind to her, but the prince was the son of the queen, so why would he be kind to her?
Then there were Cui Nuo's words, which made Jiang Yi even more confused.
The brocade box that the prince gave to Jiang Yi was also snatched away by Cui Nuo, so Jiang Yi had no idea what was in the brocade box.
Until she was pushed into the imperial mausoleum and was about to die, she thought of everything.
Only then did she understand why the prince was staring at her in a daze, why he wanted to help her, and why Cui Nuo said such words.
Is it because of her previous engagement with him?
Her appearance has not changed since she was a child, so it is possible that the prince would feel like seeing an old friend.
She figured she would take advantage of this.
Jiang Yi looked up at the noble ladies, Cui Nuo was among them.
Cui Nuo is only fifteen years old this year. When the old emperor arranged a marriage for the prince, Cui Nuo was not old enough, so naturally she could not be married to the prince.
This is also what Cui Nuo is indignant about.
However, the Crown Princess and Concubine You both had powerful family members, so Cui Nuo didn't dare to do anything to them, so he reached out to her who was about to be buried alive.
The pain of being disfigured was still vivid in his mind, and Jiang Yi's smile did not reach his eyes.
She clutched the old emperor's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "She was just glaring at me."
"She doesn't just ignore me, she clearly ignores the Emperor."
"Whose family is she from?"
Concubine Shu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to upset the Empress Dowager. She said, "Isn't this the Empress Dowager's niece? Miss Cui is waiting for Concubine Jiang so viciously. Could it be that the Empress is jealous of Concubine Jiang's favor and has said something to Miss Cui in private?"
The Empress Dowager stared at Cui Nuo with a tingling scalp, and hurriedly explained: "I have been in the palace these days and have never seen A'nuo. How can Concubine Shu say such things?"
Concubine Shu then said, "Oh, so the Queen is resentful of the Emperor for confining you."
The Queen was furious. "What are you saying, Concubine Shu? I'm just explaining to the Emperor. Cui Nuo, why don't you apologize to Concubine Jiang quickly?"
Cui Nuo looked at the queen stepmother with grievance, unable to believe that the queen stepmother did not protect her.
The Queen scolded her, "Look at what I'm doing. You should kneel down with Consort Jiang."
Cui Nuo had no choice but to kneel down and apologize to Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi whispered in the old emperor's ear: "Her eyes are really annoying, and her face is so mean at first glance."
The girl's intimacy made the old emperor's face even more radiant. Looking at her beautiful face, the old emperor said with a sudden thought: "I think so too. Come, dig out Cui Nuo's eyes."
Cui Nuo was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Jiang Yi said, "That's not necessary. After all, she's just a young girl. How can she get married if her eyes are ruined?"
It was no big deal to let the old emperor destroy Cui Nuo's eyes, but it was painful to let Cui Nuo's favorite Li Zhao destroy Cui Nuo's face.
