Jiang Xue's belly was already showing, and she was now almost five months pregnant. Previously, Prince Heng had asked the late emperor for permission to marry. Although the late emperor had granted the decree, he passed away before the wedding date was set, thus delaying the marriage.
As soon as Jiang Xue saw Jiang Yi, she couldn't control her tears.
"Sister..." She cried in grievance, "I used to think that sister was really buried alive, and I even pleaded with King Heng for mercy. Fortunately... fortunately, sister is fine in the end."
Jiang Yi looked at her tears, but her emotions did not surge as before. She just spoke calmly as if she was looking at a stranger, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"My surname is Zhong and my given name is Yi. I come from the Fuguogong Mansion. I do have many younger sisters, but none of them look like you."
"You must have recognized the wrong person, right?"
Jiang Xue said anxiously, "How could I have mistaken my sister for me? I look exactly like my sister, there's only one of our kind in the world. There's no way I could have mistaken her."
"And I heard from Prince Heng that the Emperor loved my sister so much that he arranged for her to be faked dead."
"Sis, you are already the queen now, why bother to be angry with your younger sister?"
"Besides, my sister isn't doing well either. Prince Heng...isn't very close to me."
As she spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
Jiang Yi was in no mood to listen to her complaints. She asked directly, "What do you want to do by entering the palace today?"
Jiang Xue quickly said, "The prince means that I can't wait any longer because I'm pregnant now. I want to get married soon, and I want to invite the emperor and my sister to attend the ceremony."
Ever since the passing of the previous emperor, Prince Heng has actually been quite anxious about his marriage with Jiang Xue.
His current situation is actually very difficult. Fortunately, the emperor is kind and, considering their brotherhood, will not really take his life. He just allows the officials in the court to exclude him.
In this situation, if he were to be an idle person, he might be able to survive.
But there just happened to be a Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi did not spare Concubine Shu, and even the Queen Mother was unable to please her. Will she let him go?
But King Heng knew Jiang Yi's weakness too well, and that was Jiang Xue, her only relative in the world.
She may not be soft-hearted towards others, but she will definitely be soft-hearted towards Jiang Xue.
Could she bear to see Jiang Xue lose her husband? Could she bear to see the child in Jiang Xue's belly lose her father?
She won't.
Jiang Xue is his amulet, so King Heng can't wait to marry Jiang Xue.
Jiang Yi said, "This is Prince Heng's own business. As for me and the Emperor, we are very busy every day and probably don't have time to go there."
Jiang Xue bit her lip.
"Apart from the late emperor's concubines, there's not really anyone in the harem. Even the Crown Princess and Consort Liang haven't been brought into the palace yet. What's there for you, sister?"
Jiang Yi said: "I put it in a more tactful way, so you don't understand. I do have a lot of free time, but I just don't want to go."
"I don't want to give face to you or Prince Heng."
Jiang Xue muttered, "Sister still holds a grudge against me."
Jiang Yi said: "What else?"
"But speaking of which, Jiang Xue, do you still remember anything before you were six years old?"
Jiang Xue shuddered violently when she heard this. "No...I don't know."
"Really?" Jiang Yi suddenly looked at her intently, "Look into my eyes and tell me, do you still remember? Do you remember anything at all?"
Jiang Xue ducked her head and said, "I don't remember."
"You're lying!" Jiang Yi quickly exposed her. "If you don't tell me the truth, I will prevent you from marrying Prince Heng."
Jiang Xue said, "How could you do this to me? I already have his child. Who else can I marry if not Prince Heng?"
Jiang Yi said leisurely: "So what? What does it have to do with me?"
"Xue'er, people change, and I'm no longer the same sister I used to be."
"If you don't tell me the truth, I will not only not let you marry him, but I will also send him to hell."
Jiang Xue said quickly: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
"I really didn't remember anything earlier. It wasn't until a while ago when I happened to hear someone from my subordinates talking about Concubine Shu's death that I learned everything."
"So even if this is the case, you still want to marry Prince Heng?" Jiang Yi felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Jiang Xue did not abandon the Jiang family earlier. She asked again: "He harmed our family. Our parents died because of them."
Jiang Xue was stunned and said, "But I have his child."
"Those memories are too old, so old that I can no longer empathize with them. I only know that the most important people in my life now are Prince Heng and this child. I love Prince Heng."
"and......"
She was afraid that Jiang Yi would not let her marry Prince Heng, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Besides, didn't my sister also marry the emperor?"
"Speaking of the Jiang family's death, who in the royal family can escape responsibility? My sister can marry the emperor, so why can't I marry Prince Heng?"
"Sister, you are too selfish."
This question touched Jiang Yi's heart. She thought about it carefully, then looked up at Jiang Xue and said, "No, I am different from you, and Li Zhao and Li Song are also different."
"Li Zhao has never thought of using me, never erased my memory, and never treated me as a pawn."
"Jiang Xue, don't you understand? Or do you understand but pretend to be confused?"
Jiang Xue cried even harder, "No, I don't care, I just like him and I just want to marry him."
"They've all been dead for so many years. Why does sister insist on remembering so much hatred? Isn't it better to live a happier and simpler life?"
