The Queen Mother was really sick. She was sick because of anger.
Her upper body kept twitching, and then she became hemiplegic.
The empress dowager collapsed on the bed, unable to understand why the emperor dared to send her away.
She is the Queen Mother!
She had fought with Concubine Li for her entire life, and when her son finally became emperor, she laughed at Concubine Li's favor and said, "What's the point of having a good son?"
But now she is not as good as Concubine Li.
At least the late emperor truly loved Concubine Li, and her son...
His son really loved that little bitch Jiang Yi, and even wanted to send her away for Jiang Yi.
A hundred years later, when she was underground, Concubine Li would probably laugh at her.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother didn't even dare to die.
Before leaving, the empress dowager wanted to see the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor.
The emperor did not come, but Jiang Yi did.
Jiang Yi's sarcastic look fell on the Queen Mother's face. The Queen Mother's face froze. She hurriedly said: "I don't want to look at you. Where is the Emperor? Call him over."
"Why, the Emperor feels guilty and doesn't dare to come to see me?"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly, "It's obvious that the Queen Mother did the wrong thing first. If the Queen Mother doesn't feel guilty, why should the Emperor, who was schemed against by the Queen Mother, feel guilty?"
"Is there any mother in the world who schemes against her own son like this?"
"Besides, it doesn't matter whether the Queen Mother wants to see me or not. What matters is that I really want to see the Queen Mother."
"Empress Dowager, if you had known this would happen, would you have set up such a trap?"
She suddenly asked sincerely.
The Queen Mother was stunned.
The Queen Mother suddenly laughed and said, "Yes."
Even now, the Queen Mother never felt that she had done anything wrong.
Jiang Yi was not surprised. "So, even if the Queen Mother is paralyzed in bed today, I will not be soft-hearted and let the Shen family go."
"You..." The Queen Mother wanted to get up and hit Jiang Yi unwillingly, but it was in vain.
Jiang Yi added, "Now the Empress Dowager should understand why I didn't want you to die."
"It's not fun if you're dead."
"I want you to watch helplessly as your family members die before your eyes. Who can I blame for this? I can only blame the Queen Mother for colluding with the Shen family to plot against me."
"If I am not killed by your scheme, then you must die."
Jiang Yi glanced at the Queen Mother coldly and then left.
It rained in the imperial city on the day the empress dowager left.
The emperor watched the empress dowager leave from the high city wall. He vaguely remembered that it was also a rainy day like this when the empress dowager saw him off from Southern Chen many years ago.
Perhaps it was destined from that time that the relationship between him and the Queen Mother would be a shallow one.
The emperor said to his servants: "Take good care of the queen mother."
The fact that the Empress Dowager was sent away from the imperial city caused an uproar in the court. The court officials accepted the advice one after another, but the emperor was no longer the same emperor. He held military power and used ruthless means. He first used thundering means to deal with several of the loudest shouters, and gradually no one dared to express his opinion on this.
Everyone in the Shen family felt insecure.
The queen was once a wife of the Shen family, a wife of the Shen family who was plotted against by the empress dowager and the Shen family.
First it was Shen Jun, then the Queen Mother, so will the Shen family be next?
The head of the Shen family thought more long-term. The emperor didn't even give face to the empress dowager. Would the Shen family still have a place in the court in the future?
Impossible.
But the Shen family has the merit of following the dragon, and no one in the Shen family is willing to be mediocre.
They felt that the emperor was ungrateful.
However, the emperor was no longer the same emperor.
Old Master Shen thought of regicide, which is the only variable that the Shen family can find now.
After the emperor died, they could welcome the empress dowager back and then support the young prince to succeed to the throne, so that they could continue to control the government.
This is the Shen family's only chance.
Old Master Shen sent assassins to lurk beside Concubine Shen, asking Concubine Shen to lure the emperor over on the pretext of something, and then let the assassins wait for an opportunity to strike.
Concubine Shen was somewhat incredulous when she received this important task.
Regicide is no small matter. If it is exposed, the entire Shen family will have no chance of survival.
But Elder Shen told Concubine Shen Xian, “So this operation can only succeed, not fail.”
Elder Shen also said: "As long as Jiang Yi is alive, the emperor will not have eyes for other women. But if the emperor and Jiang Yi die, Concubine Shen will be the empress dowager who rules the country from behind the curtain."
Concubine Shen was deeply moved.
She had no feelings for the emperor and entered the palace as a concubine only for the sake of family interests.
Concubine Shen Xian claimed to be ill and wanted to see the emperor.
Concubine Shen had never taken the initiative to invite the emperor, and the emperor immediately realized that something was wrong.
The emperor did not go there immediately. He summoned Mr. Shen to the palace, and at the same time asked Qian Sanqi to lead troops to surround the Shen family.
Mr. Shen was detained just after entering the palace.
Concubine Shen Xian didn't know all this.
The emperor came to Concubine Shen's palace. Concubine Shen, who claimed to be sick, was sitting beside him. Except for her pale face, she looked normal.
Concubine Shen Xian smiled and said to the emperor: "When I heard that the emperor was coming, I was quite flattered."
"I never thought that the emperor would actually come when I asked him to come."
"If the emperor hadn't been taken hostage to Beili by mistake, I would have been childhood sweethearts with him. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on me. After I entered the palace, my cousin never even glanced at me."
She acted as if she was sad.
The emperor's eyes fell on Concubine Shen's face, but his eyes glanced elsewhere.
Concubine Shen Xian continued, "Although I love the emperor deeply, I also know that the emperor does not have me in his heart. I am of little use in this palace. I would like to ask to go to Hanshan Temple to accompany the Empress Dowager."
After showing weakness, she said to the emperor, "Before I leave, I would like to have lunch with His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, this glass of wine is in your honor."
The emperor took the wine glass from Concubine Shen Xian's hand, and then handed it to the young eunuch beside him.
Concubine Shen was stunned for a moment, then she saw the emperor stand up.
The emperor said, "Concubine Shen is trying to kill the emperor. Capture her."
Concubine Shen didn't understand why the emperor would convict her like this when she hadn't done anything yet.
When Concubine Shen Xian saw the wine glass held by the eunuch beside her, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must have misunderstood me. I can give this glass of wine to..."
However, just as Concubine Shen was quibbling, the emperor suddenly threw the ring in his hand behind the curtain.
The killer hiding behind the curtain was immediately forced out, and the secret guards around the emperor immediately started fighting with him.
The killer hired by the Shen family was indeed very capable. While dealing with the secret guards, he also quickly threw a flying knife towards the emperor.
The emperor directly blocked Concubine Shen in front of him, and the flying knife pierced Concubine Shen's heart, killing her instantly.
