At this moment, the palace maid who was very trusted by Concubine Shu suddenly came before the old emperor and accused Concubine Shu of framing Queen Jiang in the past.
So, along with the old emperor's "Confession of Sins", what was announced to the world was the fact that Concubine Shu had framed Jiang Yi and Queen Jiang in the past.
The old emperor was seriously ill and could hardly speak clearly. It seemed that he didn't have much time left. Concubine Shu was banished to the cold palace, and the direction of the palace changed suddenly.
If the old emperor dies, the crown prince will succeed him, and the crown prince is the new emperor for sure.
It is common in the palace for a mother to gain status through her son. Therefore, even though the empress dowager had just been punished by the old emperor, many palace ladies and ministers still tried to please her.
The queen was in great glory for a while, and she didn't bother Jiang Yi again.
It was just because she felt it was not worth it. Once the old emperor died, Jiang Yi was like a rootless duckweed, allowing her to crush him at will.
Even if the descendants of the Jiang family's branch are now able to return to the capital from their place of exile, so what?
More than ten years have passed, and these people have become so tough and rude that they no longer have any of the might they once had.
What's more, she would not let her son reuse them.
But then I suddenly thought of an interesting thing.
After much deliberation, the empress decided to go look for the old emperor.
Jiang Yi's mind was not on the queen at the moment, so she took her people to the cold palace.
At this time, Concubine Shu had been in the cold palace for three days.
A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog, not to mention that the empress dowager will not let Concubine Shu go.
At the instruction of the empress dowager, the palace servants put the leftovers used to feed the animals into a dirty bowl, placed it on the ground, and made Concubine Shu kneel down and eat there.
Concubine Shu was proud and arrogant, so she naturally refused.
But she refused for one day, two days, and after three days, hunger caused Concubine Shu to have hallucinations.
Concubine Shu seemed to see Queen Jiang walking towards her, which reminded her of the dream.
In her dreams, she dreamed countless times that her son was stabbed to death by Queen Jiang's niece.
In addition, Jiang Yi has become increasingly out of her control recently, and even spoke ill of Concubine Shu in front of the old emperor. Concubine Shu has become increasingly anxious, fearing that everything in her dream will come true.
So when she saw the illusion of Queen Jiang, Concubine Shu was suddenly excited.
She waved her hands and said, "Go away, go away. You're already dead, why are you here?"
"You were weak and incompetent when you were the queen. Now you are dead. What can you do to me?"
"Don't try to scare me in your dreams by playing tricks on me."
"Swish——" A basin of cold water was poured down, and Concubine Shu's vision became clear only then.
She saw Jiang Yi standing in front of her in plain clothes.
Concubine Shu turned her face away and snorted coldly.
The palace maid beside Concubine Shu immediately stepped forward and slapped her twice, "You didn't even greet Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine when you saw her. Are you blind?
Concubine Shu was furious and said, "Although I have been sent to the cold palace today, I am still the mother of Prince Heng. How can you lowly slaves know that one day this palace will not rise again?"
"You won't have this chance." Jiang Yi said lightly.
Concubine Shu looked at Jiang Yi angrily, "You were just a beggar in the past. If you were not my son, do you think you would be where you are today?"
"With your appearance, it's no wonder my son looks down on you."
"Don't even think about making my son love you for the rest of your life."
"You are far worse than your sister."
In Concubine Shu's impression, Jiang Yi has always been the person who can give everything for Prince Heng.
This is indeed the case. Even Jiang Yi entered the palace because of Prince Heng.
Jiang Yi has been out of control recently. In Concubine Shu's opinion, it's probably because love has turned into hate.
So when she looked at Jiang Yi, she instinctively felt superior.
"Shufei, I'm saying that you won't be released from the cold palace, and Prince Heng won't rise to power." Jiang Yi repeated, "Shufei, you may not know yet, but I remember everything."
"You and your son tried to use that little favor to bind me when I was desperate, but the truth will eventually come out."
"Do you think that after remembering everything that happened in the past, I will still like your hypocritical son?"
"You think too highly of your son."
"If you are smart and sensible, you should obey me. If you can please me, I might even make Prince Heng's death less miserable."
Even so, Concubine Shu just looked at Jiang Yi with contempt.
"Otherwise, I can get the Emperor to overturn the Jiang family's verdict, and I can also make Prince Heng suffer the same fate as you."
"If all else fails, I will say that Prince Heng forced me. Do you think the Emperor will allow Prince Heng to challenge his authority?"
Only then did Concubine Shu look at Jiang Yi seriously.
Her tone immediately changed, and she asked, "What does the virtuous concubine want me to do?"
Jiang Yi said, "Crawl over here and eat this food."
Concubine Shu actually did as she was told.
Concubine Shu was flexible and adaptable. She came from a humble background and was originally just a maidservant beside Empress Jiang. She took advantage of her proximity to the old emperor and seduced him.
Although Queen Jiang has a gentle temperament, she does not like being betrayed by those around her.
At that time, the old emperor only treated her as a plaything. For a long time, she had no official status, if she had not been lucky enough to have a son.
Later, by joining forces with the queen, he achieved what he has today.
Shufei thought, even if she had to kneel down to Jiang Yi, even if she had to lie at Jiang Yi's feet like a dog to eat, it would be fine. As long as her son was still there, she would have a day to stand up again.
On that day, she will return everything that Jiang Yi has done to her.
Jiang Yi was young after all, and he couldn't sit still at this moment.
As Concubine Shu thought about this, she actually lay down in front of Jiang Yi and started eating those things.
The corners of Jiang Yi's lips curled up, and the next moment, she suddenly made a move, and her slender hands slapped Shufei's crown heavily.
It looked like a light tap, but in an instant, Concubine Shu was no longer breathing.
Her eyes were wide open when she was dying, and she couldn't believe that she would die like this.
"Mother!" Prince Heng, who was specially called by Jiang Yi, saw the scene of Jiang Yi beating Concubine Shu to death. He ran over frantically and touched Concubine Shu's breath, but there was no breath, absolutely no breath.
He glared at Jiang Yi hatefully.
Jiang Yi smiled. "Although it's a bit cruel for you to watch me kill your mother with the martial arts you once taught me, what can you do?"
She was clearly smiling, but she gave people a feeling of coldness, a chill to the bone.
Li Song suddenly thought of the time when he first met Jiang Yi ten years ago. She was just that cold.
A six-year-old girl, with no expression at all when looking at people.
Perhaps the current solution was destined from the moment he picked up Jiang Yi on his mother's orders.
They wanted to use her, but she turned against them and they ended up losing their lives.
He knew from the beginning that she was never an innocent little white rabbit, but a wild wolf with claws.
