But would Jiang Yi be so obedient? Of course she wouldn't.
Jiang Yichao smiled faintly and then stood aside with dignity.
She even rolled up her sleeves, deliberately leaving a circle of heavy red marks on her wrists, exposing them like that.
The queen almost vomited blood.
But no matter how she glared at Jiang Yi, it was useless because Li Zhao had already come in.
When Li Zhao heard that the queen had called Jiang Yi, he was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so he rushed over.
As soon as he came in, he saw the red marks on Jiang Yi's wrist, and guessed that it must have been caused by his mother.
His eyes were filled with disgust. "Mother, Concubine Jiang is already going to be buried alive with her. Why are you still making things difficult for her?"
The queen felt that she was wronged. Although she really wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Yi, didn’t she fail to do so?
Not only did she fail to overcome her difficulties, she was also strangled by Jiang Yi.
The queen also felt aggrieved, "I didn't make things difficult for her," she said.
Li Zhao didn't believe it at all. "If the Queen Mother hadn't made things difficult for Concubine Jiang, how did Concubine Jiang get the wound on her hand? Could it be that she did it herself?"
The queen then said: "She made it herself."
Li Zhao sneered, "Do you believe that, Mother? Although you were vicious in the past, you were at least honest. I never thought you would deny even the crimes you committed."
"You..." In the past, it was always the queen who framed others. She never expected that today she would be framed by a little Jiang Yi, and in front of her son.
And her stupid son actually questioned her as a mother without asking any questions.
She really raised a filial son.
The Queen sneered, "You only saw the scars on her wrists, but didn't see the wound on Mother's neck? This was caused by the weak Concubine Jiang you mentioned."
What followed was a deep sense of grievance.
She was strong-willed all her life, and even Jiang Ni was no match for her. Yet, she gave birth to a son who was not at all on her side.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhao only glanced at the Queen, and the disgust in his eyes became even stronger. "Your Majesty, what you said is a lie with open eyes. Not to mention that Concubine Jiang is just a weak woman, there are countless palace maids and eunuchs around you. These people are just eating dry food. How could they let Concubine Jiang hurt your mother?"
The queen said, "They can all testify."
Li Zhao said: "They are all the Queen Mother's people."
"My Queen Mother, don't you feel guilty for making things difficult for a weak woman like this?
Empress Ji: For the first time, I experienced the feeling of being unable to express myself.
She glared at Jiang Yi fiercely, and Jiang Yi shrank back, trembling as if she was about to cry. "Your Highness, please don't get upset with the Queen because of me. It's okay for me to be wronged, but it would be bad if it caused a rift between the Queen and you and your son."
Li Zhao then said, "Mother, the virtuous concubine was so young, and she suffered injustice, yet she knew how to excuse you. Mother, you are old, but you are even worse than the virtuous concubine who is younger than you."
"My mother is the queen of the harem, but she's not magnanimous at all. Instead, she's so petty."
The queen continued: "......"
Did she give birth to a son or an enemy?
Li Zhao looked at Jiang Yi again and said, "Look, Concubine Jiang is swollen here. I have some medicine. I'll take you there to apply it."
Then the queen watched helplessly as her son took Jiang Yi away.
The queen's chest kept rising and falling. She pointed at Li Zhao's back and said, "You heartless thing, how could I have given birth to such an evil creature?"
The palace maid beside her comforted her, saying, "Don't be angry, Queen. His Highness has always misunderstood you. Fortunately, Concubine Jiang won't be around for long. Why are you angry with a dead person?"
After a long while, the queen finally calmed down. She sneered and said, "Yes, why would I bother with a dead person? Even if she appears calm on the surface, I think she is afraid in her heart."
"I am waiting for the day when I can see her body."
She also thought that since her son was so disobedient, it would be absolutely impossible for some vixen to enter the palace in the future. She had to place her own people around her son.
But it’s too early to say this now, and the queen can only endure it for the time being.
Jiang Yi followed Li Zhao out of Fengluan Palace and the two of them arrived at a side hall where the prince would sometimes stay overnight when he came to the palace.
He frowned and looked at Jiang Yi's wrist, then said, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Yi's eyes were calm, "It's just a minor injury."
"Your wrist is already red, can you still say it's a minor injury?" Li Zhao asked someone to get medicine from the imperial physician and applied it to her little by little.
"If your mother calls you later, just don't go." He said with a serious look.
He hugged Jiang Yi's waist and said, "I'm sorry for letting you suffer today. This is the last time."
Jiang Yi was not wronged, so she did not feel wronged, but in front of Li Zhao, her eyes were still red.
"I thought she wouldn't... In her eyes, I was going to be buried alive, so how could she treat me?"
"But I didn't expect that she wanted me to beg her on my knees and wanted to see me wag my tail and beg for mercy. I naturally refused."
"She had someone kick me down to my knees and forced my head to hit the ground."
"Of course I won't do it, so I'll suffer the consequences."
She said to him again, "Why didn't you come earlier."
The soft, low complaints in Wu dialect sounded particularly pleasant to Li Zhao's ears.
His voice tightened. "You were kicked? Are you injured anywhere else?"
Li Zhao was about to check it out, but Jiang Yi held his hand down and said, "It's just some minor injuries."
