"It would be better if the queen was not your mother."
Her eyes were red, and she whispered in Li Zhao's ear, "I originally thought that since Brother Zhao was so good to me, I should just do as he said and forget about what the Queen had done to the Jiang family."
"I can't help it. Brother Zhao is the best person to me. I like him so much."
"But the Queen actually wanted to burn me to death. Brother Zhao's mother wanted to burn me to death."
"If she didn't burn me to death today, what should I do if she sends assassins to kill me tomorrow?"
"Brother Zhao, I'm so scared."
A pair of apricot-like eyes revealed a pitiful color, with obvious weakness and flattery, and Li Zhao's heart trembled violently.
He said, "I won't let her have the chance to hurt you again."
"Really?" she asked him.
He nodded steadily.
What kind of person is Jiang Yi? She has nothing behind her, she was used by Li Song and her own sister was stabbed, but she still acted very strong. She is such a stubborn and noble person in her bones, but now she speaks softly to him.
Li Zhao naturally noticed the difference in Jiang Yi.
She began to truly accept him and fall in love with him.
It wasn't because he said he could help her get revenge, but because she was moved by his sincerity.
So how could he let her down?
Jiang Yi glanced at the old emperor lying on the ground and said, "What is he going to do?"
"He saw everything."
"Will he kill me and you when he wakes up?"
The idea of regicide suddenly popped up in Li Zhao's mind.
Jiang Yi said, "I'm so scared."
"Don't be afraid." Li Zhao said, "Wait and see."
"If it really doesn't work..."
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Yi responded obediently, "I will listen to Brother Zhao in everything."
Li Zhao helped the old emperor to the couch and said, "I will stay with you until father wakes up."
When the old emperor woke up, he saw the two men holding each other's hands. He suddenly vomited blood and almost fainted again.
Li Zhao stepped forward to wipe the blood from the old emperor's mouth. The old emperor said, "You unfilial son, get out of here. I don't have a son like you anymore. I will chop you into eight pieces."
The old emperor kicked Li Zhao, but his force was too weak and Li Zhao only took a step back.
Jiang Yi gave the old emperor a cold look and said, "Your Majesty, how could you do this?"
"It was the Emperor who raised Zhao'er under Jiang Ni's lap. I was simply following His Majesty's wishes and treating Zhao'er as my own son. It's normal for a mother and adopted son to be close. Why is Your Majesty so angry? It makes you look petty. Zhao'er is not an outsider."
The old emperor widened his eyes.
Jiang Yi said, "Isn't it?"
"Don't you like this?"
"You don't like me being close to Zhao'er, or you don't like me as a person? In that case, I'd rather die than have the Emperor pick on me. I never know when he'll plot against me again."
"Although I no longer have a home for the Emperor to rob."
The old emperor immediately said, "No, of course you can. What's wrong with a mother and son being close?"
"Prince, I don't blame you. Please go down first."
Li Zhao glanced at Jiang Yi, and Jiang Yi nodded at him.
As soon as Li Zhao left, the old emperor got up from his couch and said to Jiang Yi, "Ani, I don't care about what you did with the crown prince just now, just don't do this in the future."
Jiang Yi looked at him with a smile, "What happened between me and the prince?"
The old emperor was speechless.
Jiang Yi continued, "Didn't the emperor talk about children yesterday? I really want a child, but you make me feel sick."
"Is a person like you worthy of having a child? How about the prince and I have one?"
"Jiang Ni doesn't dislike children, but he doesn't like the children of someone as cold-blooded and selfish as you."
"Jiang Ni is glad that she had an abortion. This way, she has nothing to do with you."
"Even if you die and go to the underworld, Jiang Ni will not care about you. You only deserve to be a lonely person."
"You, how can you say that? You are not Jiang Ni, no, you are Jiang Ni. You said that because you hate me. You are angry with me, right?"
He added, "You used to be too good-tempered. I actually like you to be a little bit naughty with me. You are very good now..."
As the old emperor was speaking, he suddenly fell straight to the ground.
His hands were twitching constantly and he couldn't even speak clearly.
Jiang Yi was not surprised. After being stimulated by her, it was a miracle that the old emperor was still alive.
Jiang Yi called the palace maids in, helped the old emperor up, and called the imperial physician.
The imperial physician said that the old emperor had suffered a stroke and his condition was not good. Even if he took medicine, it was not certain whether the old emperor could take care of himself.
But the old emperor was still conscious, and he looked at Jiang Yi sadly.
Jiang Yi suddenly became gentle again. She said, "Your Majesty, your confession of guilt has not yet been announced to the world, and you haven't even let my family go."
"Do you think Jiang Ni won't forgive you even after you die?"
