She looked at the crazy look in Jiang Tong's eyes and couldn't help but sneer, "So you still have so much resentment in your heart."
"Yes, everyone has had a hard time these years. Do you think you're the only one who's suffered? I was born as the empress of a criminal minister's daughter. Isn't it hard for me?"
"The late emperor and the empress are dead, isn't that enough?"
"Perhaps you will say it's not enough, but before you do this out of kindness, have you ever thought about the fate of the rest of the Jiang family?"
"What kind of crime is regicide? It's enough to make the Jiang family suffer another confiscation of property, or even worse this time."
Jiang Tong said unconvincedly, "Things are different now. Your Majesty is a member of our Jiang family, and the prince is also our Jiang family's grandson. If Your Majesty is more ruthless and takes action directly, I think our Jiang family will take power much faster."
Jiang Yi felt like she had just heard something very funny. "So you're relying on the Emperor's tolerance of me, and will therefore tolerate the actions of everyone in the Jiang family without any bottom line?"
"Where do you get such confidence from?"
She suddenly reached out and took the inkstone from the desk beside her and threw it towards Jiang Tong's knees. Jiang Tong felt pain and knelt on the ground.
"The Emperor's reliance on you over the years has only fueled your ambitions. The Jiang family is in power? The Jiang family is just a minister, so why should they be in power? Or do you think I will tolerate you, Jiang Tong, without any bottom line, sucking my blood and treating my son as a puppet?"
"Where do you get such confidence?"
"The Emperor cannot bear to punish you, so I will punish you."
She suddenly approached Jiang Tong, pinched Jiang Tong's throat, and lifted Jiang Tong up.
Jiang Tong looked at Jiang Yi in disbelief.
"Your Majesty, I am your brother!" Jiang Tong said in panic.
Jiang Yi said: "My brother has passed away long ago."
"I have always been protective of my shortcomings. When I was a daughter of the Jiang family, if I knew someone had harmed the Jiang family, I would risk my life to avenge them. Now I am Li Zhao's queen. If you have harmed Li Zhao, then you must pay with your life, for Li Zhao and so that my son will not be controlled by others."
Her right hand gradually tightened, Jiang Tong almost suffocated, and her face became distorted.
"Your Highness, you are so selfish. Just because you are living a good life now and are loved by men, you forget everything in the past."
"What have I done wrong? I am only seeking revenge for myself."
"My Queen, you can't do this to me. Grandfather is watching from heaven. If he knew you were harming your siblings, he would never let you go!"
In the end, Jiang Tong couldn't even speak. He thought he was going to die.
Jiang Yi suddenly let go and he fell heavily to the ground.
He breathed heavily, thinking that he had made the right bet. Women are soft-hearted, and Jiang Yi is no exception. He bet that Jiang Yi was soft-hearted.
Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. If he escapes this disaster, the emperor will die soon. As the prince's uncle, he will be the most powerful official in the court, even above the young new emperor.
He even smiled faintly.
"I give you two choices. Either you and your offspring are secretly executed, or you write a letter of confession and leave it to your family, then hang yourself."
"As for your family, I can keep them away from the capital for their innocence."
"You're right. You can think you did the right thing, but everything you do has a price. If you lose the bet, you'll naturally have to bear the cost of failure. It's a price you have to bear even if you don't want to."
Jiang Tong didn't react for a long time. Jiang Yi actually threatened him and threatened him to hang himself with his children.
"I'll give you one night. If you're still alive the next day, I'll charge you with other crimes and throw your entire family into the Sky Prison."
She walked away, leaving Jiang Tong with only a cold and solemn back.
Jiang Tong sat on the ground dejectedly.
That night, Jiang Tong wrote a confession and then hanged himself.
The Jiang family was terrified. Jiang Tong's eldest son was twenty years old, and the youngest child was only three years old. The women in the Jiang family had lost their backbone, and holding this letter of confession was like holding a hot potato.
In the end, it was Jiang Tong's eldest son who took it to the palace and met Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi simply said to him, "Don't panic, and don't make a fuss. From today on, everyone in your family will stay away from the capital. Hope for the best in the future."
Fortunately, there was no danger to his life, and Jiang Tong's family was relieved.
This incident also caused an uproar in the court. After all, Jiang Tong was already the Shangshu at that time.
When Li Zhao learned about this, he felt warm in his heart.
Some things don’t need to be explained so clearly, you will already understand them.
His little Jiang Yi knew everything, but took care of everything without telling him.
Her sudden disappearance that day was probably no accident.
He suddenly felt a deep sense of heartache. She must have been so sad these days, but she didn't want to make him worry, so she kept it in her heart.
Li Zhao went to look for Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was in a daze. When she saw Li Zhao coming, a smile appeared on her face. "Brother Zhao, aren't you busy today?"
"I'm not busy, and I won't be too busy in the future."
He could feel his body getting worse little by little. At first he coughed up blood every three days, but now he coughed up blood several times a day.
Even if Jiang Yi already knew it, there was no need to continue pretending to be confused.
He polished her hands. More than ten years had passed, but Jiang Yi's hands were still as white as jade. No matter how he touched them, it seemed like he could never touch them enough.
Jiang Yi said, "Just a while ago, Brother Zhao didn't tell me anything at all."
"I'm afraid you'll worry and be sad." He held her in his arms, "Silly girl, you must be heartbroken after making such a decision."
He understood better than anyone how much Jiang Yi valued family ties.
She didn't have many relatives, and even those who were not very close to her in the past were still valued by her.
"It doesn't hurt." She smiled and said to Li Zhao, "Back then, the emperor risked the wrath of the world to protect me and my child. Today, I am willing to kill the murderer for the emperor."
"No one in this world is more important to me than Brother Zhao."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly became red uncontrollably.
His love finally blossomed among the thorns, and this life was worth it.
