When she saw the emperor, a flash of joy crossed the empress dowager's face.
Ever since the day she told the emperor that she wanted to adopt the little grandson, the emperor never came to see her again.
Even on the day of the celebration, the emperor only greeted the empress dowager and never spoke to her again.
The Queen Mother felt that her crime was not so serious.
She just mentioned it and didn't really take Jiang Yi's child into her arms.
She did this simply to make the child closer to her and to make up for the mother-son relationship she had lost.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not understand her.
But it was clear that the emperor used to listen to her the most.
It’s still because of Jiang Yi.
When you get a wife, you forget your mother.
The Queen Mother felt a little dissatisfied, but she didn't dare show it.
"Your Majesty..." The Queen Mother wanted to say that she had not had dinner yet and wanted the Emperor to have dinner with her.
The emperor interrupted the empress dowager.
"Mother, I came here today to tell you something. Shen Jun is dead. I killed him with my own hands."
The Queen Mother was so shocked that she didn't react for a long time.
After a long while, the Queen Mother said, "Is it because of Jiang Yi? Did Jiang Yi ask you to do this?"
The empress dowager naturally believed that it was Shen Jun who was disrespectful to Jiang Yi and Jiang Yi who instigated him that the emperor killed Jiang Yi.
"He is your biological uncle. Even if he was a little disrespectful, he didn't really hurt Jiang Yi. Why would the emperor do this?" The Queen Mother was a little angry. "Today it's Shen Jun, will it be me tomorrow?"
The emperor looked at the queen mother calmly, then denied it: "It's not because of Jiang Yi, it's because of my mother."
The Queen Mother was stunned.
"From the moment the Queen Mother asked Shen Jun to put on a show and marry Jiang Yi, his current fate was doomed."
"Why doesn't Queen Mother understand until now? She was the one who started all this. It was because she was the one who first wanted to harm others that this series of consequences occurred."
"What did Jiang Yi do wrong? She is just an innocent person who has been schemed against by you for three whole years."
“Why is the victim at fault?”
The empress dowager just found out that Jiang Yi claimed that she loved the emperor deeply, but turned around and told the emperor everything, causing discord between mother and son.
This two-faced and extremely hypocritical woman!
The Queen Mother clutched her chest and said, "Who am I doing all this for? It's for you!"
"I never asked my mother to do all this for me, and I certainly don't want her to hurt my benefactor for me."
"Everyone in this world has the right to criticize me, but you don't. How much suffering did I endure at the hands of Concubine Li? Don't you remember even a little bit? And now you bully me for an outsider."
"It was Concubine Li and the late emperor who bullied my mother, not Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi is so innocent!"
The mother and son argued fiercely with each other, and no matter what the empress dowager said, the emperor had something to refute.
The Queen Mother nearly fainted from anger. She said, "You are deliberately opposing me. My children are my debt. If I had known this, I should have hanged myself the moment you ascended the throne, and I wouldn't have to worry about you irritating me now."
The emperor said, "Your Majesty Mother is not right, so naturally you cannot argue with me. Why bother using these high-sounding excuses?"
The Queen Mother said, "You are reasoning with me, but why don't you think about how much effort I put into raising you? Do I owe you anything?"
"Mother, of course, doesn't owe me anything, so I've never argued with her before. But as long as I can make her happy, I'm willing to do my best."
"However, things are different now. I owe more than just my mother."
"My mother raised me until I was six, but Jiang Yi protected me until I was sixteen."
"Jiang Yi's kindness to me is not much less than that of my mother."
"Since both my mother and Jiang Yi have shown me favors, I will naturally act according to reason."
The Queen Mother fell back suddenly, murmuring, "But Jiang Yi is just a slave."
"She has done me a favor. What does that have to do with her status?" the emperor asked.
The Queen Mother said unwillingly, "I gave birth to you."
The emperor said, "Jiang Yi gave birth to a son and a daughter for me."
The Queen Mother was completely speechless.
The emperor continued, "So, I came here today to have a clear discussion with my mother."
"In my heart, Jiang Yi is the most important person. Anyone who hurts Jiang Yi will suffer the same fate as Shen Jun."
"Shen Jun is like this, the Shen family is like this, and so is the Queen Mother."
"But I hope that Queen Mother, for the sake of our relationship as mother and son, will restrain herself and the Shen family. Otherwise, I will not be lenient. I will do what I say."
The Queen Mother burst into tears immediately. Her own son even wanted to kill her for an outsider. The Queen Mother felt really wronged.
She managed to hold back her tears, feeling very aggrieved, "Even if it is like this, the Emperor shouldn't be so partial."
The emperor was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Speaking of partiality, I am partial to my mother."
"My Queen Mother wanted to kill Jiang Yi. I was just neglecting her."
"I even gave my mother and the Shen family a chance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to warn them. My mother, please think carefully and take care of yourself."
The Queen Mother watched the Emperor leave.
The emperor silently recalled what he had said and done today, and thought about the last words he said to the empress dowager, and suddenly a strong sense of guilt rose in his heart.
Yes, Jiang Yi didn’t die, but she almost died.
Recalling the miserable look of Jiang Yi she saw at the foot of the mountain, she was so shocked that she lost her memory.
However, the Empress Dowager only lost Shen Jun.
