The old emperor was really moved. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he didn't have much time left.
He controls the world, but he still cannot escape the word "death".
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. When a person dies, everything is gone.
All that power and wealth is like a passing cloud.
In his last moments, he only had Jiang Ni.
Because he knew that he had felt guilty towards Jiang Ni in the past, he indulged her no matter how she treated him now.
Just consider it as making up for it.
But the old emperor couldn't help but wonder, if he died, would Jiang Ni still be with Li Zhao.
That was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
In this case, it would be better to let Jiang Ni be buried alive.
They missed each other for ten whole years during their lifetime, but after death, they were together forever.
Thinking of this, the old emperor said, "Come here, draft an edict."
Jiang Yi is now the virtuous concubine. According to her current rank, even if she has no son, she does not have to be buried with the old emperor after his death.
But if there is an imperial decree, Jiang Yi must be buried alive.
The old emperor handed the imperial edict to the empress dowager, who walked out of the palace contentedly. When she saw Jiang Yi, she smiled particularly meaningfully.
Jiang Yi also smiled back.
There were knives in the smiles of both men, and then they separated from each other.
Jiang Yi returned to the palace. The emperor felt guilty at first and didn't dare to look Jiang Yi in the eye, but when he saw that Jiang Yi didn't show any reaction, he thought that Jiang Yi probably didn't know, so he felt relieved.
He began to talk to Jiang Yi about his past with Queen Jiang. He repeated these words over and over again in front of Jiang Yi, as if he would never get tired of it.
Jiang Yi used to listen without paying much attention, but today he actually responded to the old emperor.
She had a smile on her face and was as gentle as Queen Jiang in her youth.
For a moment, the old emperor felt as if he had returned to his youth.
His biological mother was not favored, but at that time he had great ambitions and high fighting spirit, like a wild beast, full of vigor and vitality.
Jiang Ni was also very brilliant at that time.
The old emperor suddenly felt that life was peaceful and tranquil.
Women are fickle, and the old emperor thought Jiang Yi was no longer angry with him.
There was a smile on the corner of his lips when he fell asleep, and he looked obviously very happy.
Jiang Yi was waiting for Li Zhao. She had sent a message to Li Zhao before, asking him to come over.
Li Zhao arrived as promised. As soon as he came in, he saw Jiang Yi with tears in her eyes. He was also frightened and strode in quickly.
Jiang Yi threw herself into his arms.
Li Zhao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Father is giving you a hard time."
"No." Jiang Yi said, but couldn't help choking.
Li Zhao said, "What's the matter? Xiaoyi is really crying more and more. Her eyes are swollen from crying. If you have any troubles, please tell me and I will take care of it for you."
He wiped away her tears with heartache.
He knew that she was never a crybaby, even though she had been a little too obsessed with him recently, she was not this crybaby.
Something big must have happened.
He took her hand and led her to sit down, "No matter how big the problem is, I will still be able to handle it."
Jiang Yi's sobbing became quieter, but she still clutched Li Zhao's sleeve in fear and said, "Your mother came today. She persuaded the emperor to let me be buried alive with him, and the emperor agreed."
After saying this, Jiang Yi burst into tears.
Li Zhao was also shocked. Jiang Yi was still so young. It was so cruel to let such a young woman be buried alive with his father.
And such a cruel thing was done by her mother.
Jiang Yi said, "I'm so scared. I don't want to be buried alive with you. I want to be with you. I want to be with Brother Zhao."
"But your father has issued an imperial decree, and that decree is in the hands of your mother. She will definitely not let me go."
"But what did I do wrong? Why did she treat me like this?"
Jiang Yi almost fainted from crying in Li Zhao's arms, "Brother Zhao, what should I do?"
Li Zhao felt the warmth on his chest, and his heart was about to break. He kissed her temples and kept comforting her, saying, "Don't be afraid. I will never let you be buried alive with me."
"What else can you do? The imperial edict is there, in the hands of your mother. Can you disobey your father's imperial edict, or can you stop your mother?"
"I can do it. I promise you, I can do it." He stroked her back gently, trying to comfort her as much as possible.
Jiang Yi raised his tear-stained face and said, "I believe Brother Zhao."
Her eyes were full of trust.
Li Zhao suddenly felt comforted. He didn't know who took the initiative first, but their lips touched each other. They entangled fiercely, with a taste of lingering love.
The old emperor was awakened by the noise, and when he saw his son and his woman together, his anger reached its peak.
He is so patient that even the most heartless woman would be moved by him.
He thought Jiang Ni was moved by him again, and they seemed to have returned to the past during the day, but he didn't expect that she and Li Zhao would...
The shame and anger of being teased made him unable to calm down. He gasped for breath and looked at Jiang Yi and Li Zhao with a gloomy look.
This time, Jiang Yi did not tempt Li Zhao to continue, but pretended to be scared and stopped.
The old emperor gasped and said, "Come here."
He pointed at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi hid behind Li Zhao but didn't dare to go over. She said, "I'm scared."
Li Zhao patted her hands and walked over. He knelt beside the old emperor and said with his head down, "Father, this is all my fault. I can't help myself."
"Please punish me."
"I can't help myself, I can't help myself, you are really my good son." The old emperor's voice was chaotic and intermittent, but his eyes seemed to want to tear Li Zhao to pieces.
