The old emperor walked up to them with a gloomy expression. He grabbed Jiang Yi's arm and separated the two.
The old emperor said, "Aniya, Zhao'er has grown up. You can't hold him like you used to."
"Where are you injured? Let me see."
The palace people following behind the old emperor looked at him in surprise.
The emperor's majesty cannot be challenged. If this happened under normal circumstances, if it happened to another concubine, the old emperor would have had her beaten to death.
However, when it came to Concubine Jiang, the old emperor actually started lying with his eyes open.
He even looked a little humble.
Is the old emperor really crazy?
Jiang Yi laughed out loud.
A person who was once so cruel to my aunt has now become so humble because of my aunt. If my aunt were still alive, I'm afraid she would want to laugh.
The old emperor once had his aunt's complete love, but he didn't know how to cherish it at that time.
He is the emperor, rich and powerful, and he can sacrifice everything for power. With the throne, why would he worry about not having someone who loves him?
But when he was old, he felt his life fading away bit by bit, and realized the sincerity of the people around him, and he began to miss Queen Jiang whom he sacrificed.
But will Queen Jiang wait for him forever?
Jiang Ni had died a long time ago. She was dead in body and in heart.
So the old emperor treated her as his aunt.
Is this the confession of a bad guy or crocodile tears?
Jiang Yi felt that the old emperor was no longer worth her attention, but she thought of Li Zhao, so she did not push the old emperor's hand away. She said to him, "They are just minor injuries."
But the old emperor was still very nervous and said: "A small injury is still an injury. You used to be very afraid of pain. I will take you back to let the imperial physician take a look. Why did you come here..."
Li Zhao watched the old emperor holding Jiang Yi's hand and leaving, as if a knife was cutting his heart.
He couldn't help but feel something like jealousy.
His hands clenched into fists, but he didn't let this feeling last long. He turned around to look for people and things related to what happened this morning.
Finally, Li Zhao presented all the evidence to the old emperor.
All the queen's thoughts were in vain. She failed to frame Concubine Shu and Prince Heng, nor did she burn Jiang Yi to death.
When the queen was called before the old emperor, she didn't know that Jiang Yi was not dead. She thought that because Jiang Yi was dead, the old emperor asked her to investigate the matter thoroughly.
She was so complacent that she couldn't help but smile upwards until she saw Jiang Yi standing beside the old emperor.
She was completely stunned. Why didn't Jiang Yi die?
Not only did she not die, she was even standing beside the old emperor, looking at her with a sweet smile.
The queen's heart sank to the bottom. She paid her respects to the old emperor, and Jiang Yi also sat beside her and listened.
The old emperor said, "Dou, your heart is still as cruel as ever."
The queen then realized that the old emperor knew everything.
She clenched her hands under her sleeves and pretended to be confused, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
The eunuch she sent to lure Jiang Yi over was not from her palace, so even if she wanted to interrogate him, it would take time.
The old emperor would not find out so quickly. Jiang Yi must have told the old emperor about what he saw her.
But if there is no evidence, it is impossible to make a conclusion based on just a few words from Jiang Yi.
The Empress Dowager quickly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. I am completely baffled by your words. But Concubine Jiang has been saying bad things about me in your ears."
"I know you favor Concubine Jiang, but I am your legal wife after all. Please don't be so partial to me."
The queen even started to cry quietly.
The old emperor looked at her coldly, "Ani never said you were evil. As for the evidence that you murdered Ani, it was presented to me by the crown prince."
"What else do you have to say?"
The queen looked at Li Zhao in shock.
She never expected that her son would actually stab her in the back.
It turns out that children who are not raised by her are useless and their elbows are bent outwards.
The queen couldn't help but think of the day before Jiang Ni was convicted ten years ago. Li Zhao, who was obviously her son, questioned her, his biological mother, for Jiang Ni, his adoptive mother.
Afterwards, Li Zhao even left the capital.
She and her son had never had a deep relationship, but she gave birth to him after all.
It would be fine if he questioned her for Jiang Ni, but who the hell is Jiang Yi?
The queen felt a chill in her heart, and only regretted that the old emperor was in poor health.
Li Zhao was not on the same page with her, and she was too stubborn and cared too much about the truth. When she became the empress, she wanted to have another child, but she could never get pregnant.
If she had a few more sons, Li Zhao wouldn't have been...
The queen said, "This is a frame-up. I think Zhao'er has been deceived."
"Your Majesty, I have no grudge against Concubine Jiang."
The old emperor said: "Who said there is no hatred? You stole the position of queen from Amiya."
The Queen took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please look carefully. This is Concubine Jiang Xian, not Jiang Ni."
Lao Yaodong said: "I can see clearly, this is the reincarnation of Ah Ni."
"Isn't it because you saw this clearly that you were so jealous of Ah Ni that you even wanted to burn her to death?"
The queen suddenly didn't know what to say.
She found that with the old emperor's current protection of Jiang Yi, nothing she said would be of any use.
The old emperor said again: "You are so vicious, then..."
The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, I will not confess to anything I have not done."
