The empress dowager was born into a family of a fifth-rank minor official. In the capital, the empress dowager's background could be said to be very inconspicuous, but she was lucky and gave birth to Li Zhao, the first prince of the old emperor who lived to adulthood.
Li Zhao was intelligent since childhood. The old emperor valued him very much and gave Li Zhao to Queen Jiang for upbringing. However, as the empress who gave birth to the old emperor's children, she was named a concubine after the old emperor became emperor.
The empress's brothers from her mother's family also gradually gained positions in the court with the help of the empress.
After that, Queen Jiang died and the successor became the queen. Her power gradually expanded over the next ten years.
Naturally, the so-called power of the empress was composed of some civil servants in the court, so that the old emperor could tolerate her.
The queen also raised some death warriors for herself. There were not many of them, but they were enough to protect her in critical moments.
Later, it was decided to let these people take action.
But when I really thought about doing this, I realized how difficult it was.
The old emperor was surrounded by many experts, and it was difficult for her people to take action around the old emperor's bedroom.
If she is caught off guard, even her son won't be able to save her.
After much thought, the queen gave up the idea of regicide. So one day when the old emperor was in the morning court, the queen deliberately asked her brothers to drag the old emperor away, and at the same time, someone summoned Jiang Yi in the name of Concubine Shu and using Jiang Xue as an excuse.
As soon as Jiang Yi came out, the queen had someone knock him unconscious.
Little did he know that this was just a tickle to Jiang Yi.
But Jiang Yi still pretended to be tricked and was taken to a room.
There was another man who was knocked unconscious in the room.
Jiang Yi recognized this man; he was the butler of Prince Heng.
It seems that the queen wants to kill two birds with one stone.
Not only does he want her to die, but he also wants Prince Heng to be disliked by the old emperor.
But unfortunately, she was prepared.
She naturally knew that whether it was the Concubine Shu or the Empress Dowager, if the former knew that she had recovered her memory, they would naturally not tolerate her.
The latter would not tolerate her if they knew her true identity.
It depends on who jumps out first.
This time is easy to guess, it is when the old emperor attends the morning court.
Yesterday, Jiang Yi made an appointment with Li Zhao at this time. The prince was supposed to attend the morning court, but Li Zhao got the news from her and excused himself from going due to illness.
Jiang Yi heard the sound of oil being poured outside, and guessed that the queen wanted to burn her here and now destroy all the evidence.
Jiang Yi sat up from the couch, and when she looked out through the crack in the window, she saw the queen.
She actually stood guard outside the door herself.
Jiang Yi smiled at the queen. The queen didn't expect her to wake up. In her view, this was a provocation.
The queen herself poured a bucket of oil on it and ordered, "Burn this bitch to death for me."
Dozens of torches were thrown up, and soon the flames shot up into the sky.
This is the most secret cold palace in the harem. Usually, few people come here. Jiang Yihui will be reduced to ashes in this fire, just like the Queen Jiang, who was annihilated in the passing river.
Queen Jiang was no match for her. How could a mere Jiang Yi try to shake her position?
The queen snorted coldly, then turned and left.
Little did they know that Jiang Yi had already broken through the window. She messed up her hair and clothes and smeared some charcoal on her head.
Then she hid aside.
Li Zhao did not find Jiang Yi at the place they had agreed on, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
From the palace maid, Li Zhao learned that Jiang Yi was called away by Concubine Shu's people.
He immediately had a bad feeling, so he quickly called people to find Jiang Yi.
When Li Zhaoxun arrived at the cold palace, the entire place was on fire.
He poured the water from the bucket beside him on himself and rushed in like a madman. He couldn't believe that the person who had expressed his feelings to him just two days ago had turned into ashes.
The beam with sparks hit him, but he didn't care too much and rushed in.
Jiang Yi in the dark watched this scene quietly.
Her mother wanted her to die, and her son tried his best to save her.
She finally believed that what Li Zhao had said before was sincere.
Jiang Yi's eyes became more complicated.
Until Li Zhao rushed into the room but still couldn't find Jiang Yi, he suddenly felt that everything he had done was meaningless.
He felt that his life had no meaning.
He chased her so hard, but the person he was about to get was gone.
Li Zhao stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
He stared blankly ahead, and then through the firelight, he saw Jiang Yi calling him anxiously.
They were a little far away and he couldn't hear Jiang Yi's voice, but he knew she was calling him.
She is very anxious.
She even wanted to rush into the fire to save herself.
She looked so embarrassed, but Li Zhao felt that Jiang Yi was glowing at this moment.
Li Zhao hurriedly said, "Don't move, wait for me to come find you."
He ran out at a very fast speed, and when he got out, his body was already on fire, including his hair and burnt flesh.
This was the most miserable look Li Zhao had ever had. After a bucket of cold water was poured on him, he gasped for breath.
Jiang Yi looked at him with tears in her eyes. "It's so dangerous, why did you go in?"
"You know you'll die if you do that."
She was trembling slightly, obviously very scared.
Li Zhao smiled at her despite the pain, "Don't cry, I'm not dead, am I?"
"I was terrified just now," Jiang Yi said. "I saw your mother. She had me burned to death, and I escaped."
