The queen didn't care whether Li Zhao would fall in love with Cui Nuo.
If he falls in love with her, that would be the best. If he doesn't, it would also be good if Cui Nuo could give Li Zhao a child.
Li Zhao had no children. If Cui Nuo had a child, it would be Li Zhao's first child.
As soon as the child is born, if Li Zhao still treats her like this, she will support the obedient grandson.
So on this day, the queen invited Li Zhao and Cui Nuo to come at the same time. During the meal, Cui Nuo tried to talk to the New Emperor in various ways, but Li Zhao ignored him.
The Queen Mother exchanged glances with Cui Nuo, and Cui Nuo stopped talking.
The queen invited Li Zhao to drink, and Li Zhao drank it.
The Queen Mother left on the pretext of something, and Cui Nuo stared at Li Zhao without blinking.
A look of pain suddenly appeared in Li Zhao's eyes. Cui Nuo thought that the medicine was taking effect. She stepped forward and wanted to support Li Zhao, but Li Zhao waved her away.
Li Zhao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Cui Nuo's neck and said, "What kind of medicine did you give me?"
As he spoke, he fell straight backwards.
"Someone, call the imperial physician." After saying this, Li Zhao fainted.
Cui Nuo was scared to death. Wasn't it agreed that it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac? Why did the new emperor look like he was about to die?
Cui Nuo was arrested and Li Zhao didn't wake up until the evening.
After investigation by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that Li Zhao had been poisoned.
Under torture, Cui Nuo gave away the identity of the queen, and then everyone knew that the queen had poisoned the new emperor.
This is regicide!
Even if the empress dowager is the mother of the new emperor, she cannot kill the emperor.
Court officials wrote petitions one after another, demanding that the empress dowager pay the price. Some even said that such a person was not fit to be the empress dowager, and that the empress dowager should cut her hair and become a nun, and never be allowed to enter the palace again.
Li Zhao, who was seriously poisoned, agreed to the request of the court officials and asked the queen to leave the palace.
The queen refused to leave the palace, and she knelt down and begged Li Zhao.
She was just a little bit away from being the empress dowager, so why should she leave the palace and become a nun?
In this case, what is the difference between her and Concubine Shu?
She is not even as good as Concubine Shu, at least Concubine Shu gave birth to a filial son!
But Li Zhao was not moved at all.
Then the queen fell ill.
Li Zhao no longer urged the queen to leave the palace. He began to take steps to bring Jiang Yi into the palace.
At the beginning of autumn, Jiang Yi received an invitation from the Fuguogong Mansion.
The Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo is an old and aristocratic family in the capital. It used to have a very good relationship with the Jiang family. But after the fall of the Jiang family, even though Jiang Yi was later made a concubine, she never saw anyone from the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo again.
Now that he had suddenly received the invitation, Jiang Yi was very curious.
She couldn't help but think of Li Zhao.
She knew that Li Zhao had been fulfilling the promises he had made to her, and she was waiting patiently.
In any case, Jiang Yi went to the banquet, and only after she arrived did she realize that it was a family banquet at the Fuguogong Mansion.
Jiang Yi was taken to the study of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion. Li Zhao was also there. The Duke of Fuguo asked Li Zhao, "Is she really a descendant of the Jiang family?"
The Duke of Fuguo nodded, "I understand."
The Duke of Fuguo looked at Jiang Yi and said, "It's been a while since we last met, but I still remember your Grandpa Zhong."
The Duke of Fuguo is already in his seventies and is of the same generation as Jiang Yi’s grandfather.
Jiang Yi stepped forward, a faint smile on his calm face, "Xiao Yi still remembers."
"What a pity for your family... Fortunately, you are still alive. The Jiang and Zhong families are old friends. You are all alone and have lost your elders. From now on, you can treat me as your real grandfather and I will accept you as my granddaughter."
Although he had expected this before coming here, Jiang Yi still felt mixed emotions when he actually heard these words.
Without her knowing, he had been running around for her and arranged everything.
She looked at Li Zhao, and the Duke of Fuguo said, "Of course, this is also what the emperor meant."
"Jiang Yi, the emperor has good intentions for you, you must not let him down."
Jiang Yi's heartstrings trembled violently.
Li Zhao stepped forward and held Jiang Yi's hand. He said to the Duke of Fuguo, "You don't know. Before, when I was beaten, she would block it for me. When she was in danger, I went to save her, but she blamed herself for causing me harm because of herself."
"Jiang Yiru will never let me down no matter what."
Jiang Yi's mood was very complicated. The two times she said it, she had ulterior motives and just wanted to gain his pity. The other time, she even deliberately wanted Li Zhao to kill his father with his own hands.
But now Li Zhao used it as evidence that she cared about him.
Jiang Yi felt like a heartless man.
For the first time, she felt a faint sense of guilt.
The Duke of Fuguo said, "That's good. The emperor's martial arts were taught by this old minister. I will be arrogant and call myself 'Emperor's Master', which means I am the emperor's elder. I hope the emperor will be well and happy forever."
On this day, Jiang Yi was brought before everyone in the Duke's Mansion. Some of them had seen Jiang Yi, who was once the virtuous concubine, but everyone tacitly kept silent.
Two of them were Jiang Yi's childhood playmates and took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yi.
In this way, Jiang Yi became Zhongyi, the daughter of the Duke of Fuguo who was living outside, and Jiang Yi also lived in the Duke of Fuguo's mansion.
In October, the imperial edict came down to confer the title of empress on Jiang Yi.
Since she is the daughter of the Duke of Fuguo, it is normal for Jiang Yi to be the queen.
But many people are curious about what this queen looks like.
On the day of the empress's coronation ceremony, many people saw Jiang Yi's appearance, including the people who served the empress.
The maid hurriedly reported the news to the sick queen, who exclaimed "Impossible" and said she would go and see for herself.
