As soon as the carriage of the Marquis of Wuding stopped next to a pastry shop, beggars swarmed over.
The emperor saw from afar Jiang Yi, who was wearing a light green embroidered shirt and surrounded by a group of beggars.
There was no trace of anger on her face. Instead, she comforted the beggars with soft words and gave them copper coins one by one.
The beggars received the copper coins, thanked Jiang Yi, and then dispersed.
Sensing the emperor's gaze, the spy disguised as a beggar said to him, "This is the wife of the Marquis of Wuding. She is very kind-hearted. Whenever she sees a beggar, she always gives some money."
"That's why they rushed up to Madam Zhao so skillfully when they saw her."
"Not only that, she also went to the pastry shop to buy some pastries for us."
"Just wait and see, she'll be here soon."
"Who do you say she is?" the emperor asked sharply.
"The wife of Marquis Wuding?"
"Yes, you never thought that Marquis Wuding would have such a kind wife..."
"master......"
He turned his head and saw that the emperor was looking at Madam Zhao with a meaningful look.
"Zhao Yihuan..." He murmured these three words, "Interesting, Zhao Yihuan and the Queen Mother planned such a palace coup, but in the end it was his wife who took me out of the palace."
"Is this destined fate?"
Marquis Wuding Zhao Yihan was the nephew of Empress Dowager Zhao. He was the same age as the emperor. Empress Dowager Lu had no children, so she adopted the emperor. Empress Dowager Zhao, who was still the concubine at that time, brought her nephew to her side to raise him to ease her pain of missing him.
Zhao Yihuan grew up under the care of Queen Dowager Zhao since childhood. Later, Prince Xiang was born and was very close to Zhao Yihuan.
After Queen Dowager Lü died of illness, the emperor returned to the care of Queen Dowager Zhao. At first, Prince Xiang showed no obvious resistance to him.
Although the two brothers were unfamiliar with each other, they still got along well.
Later, Zhao Yihan instigated the conflict, causing the brothers to become more divided.
The look in King Xiang's eyes when he looked at him became more and more strange and hostile.
Prince Xiang also wanted the position of crown prince, but the late emperor was grateful to Empress Dowager Lu and only recognized him as the crown prince because she had been raised by her.
Queen Mother Zhao favored her youngest son and even wanted him to give up the crown prince position to King Xiang.
Although King Xiang was ambitious, he was brave but not wise. Although Queen Dowager Zhao spoke powerfully, she was actually timid.
It was Zhao Yihan who instigated them and planned all this.
The one who is truly ambitious is Zhao Yihuan. He chose Prince Xiang because he is easy to control.
Instigate King Xiang to fight and rob.
By supporting Prince Xiang to ascend the throne, Zhao Yihuan can become the regent and control the government.
The emperor knew what Zhao Yihuan was thinking, so when he first came to power, he distanced himself from the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, ignored Marquis Wuding, and cultivated his own power.
He has been on the throne for more than half a year, and Zhao Yihuan has not shown anything special.
The emperor did not expect that he would take action on the empress dowager's birthday.
Has something changed?
Prince Xiang is far away in his fiefdom. Even if they launch a coup, how will they clean up this mess in the future?
It's impossible that King Xiang came back secretly, but if he did, it would be tantamount to announcing to the world that King Xiang had evil intentions. Not to mention the court officials, even the princes far away in their fiefdoms would not tolerate King Xiang.
Of course, the most important thing was the glass of wine that the Queen Mother handed to him, which was poisoned.
While Wei Ning was lost in thought, Jiang Yi had already walked towards them.
Wei Ning's appearance had been processed, so he was different from what Jiang Yi had seen before.
As the man said before, Jiang Yi bought some cakes and shared them with them.
When Jiang Yi walked in front of Wei Ning, Wei Ning suddenly fainted at Jiang Yi's feet.
Jiang Yi was startled and quickly ordered someone to help Wei Ning onto the carriage.
She ordered someone to bring Wei Ning to the Wuding Marquis's mansion and asked someone to invite a doctor.
Wei Ning was not sick. At most, he was just lacking in Qi and blood, and the remaining toxins had not yet been cleared.
The poison was not a strong one, because the Queen Mother and Marquis Wu Ding did not dare to poison the emperor directly, but wanted to control him first.
Wei Ning did not faint. While he was pretending to faint, he heard the woman's anxious voice, which was as gentle as when they first met.
Jiang Yi sent the doctor away and asked someone to boil the medicine.
She walked into the room, and Wei Ning's eyelashes moved slightly.
Jiang Yi saw it, but she did not expose Wei Ning. She fetched some water and washed Wei Ning's face herself. When she saw Wei Ning's face, she was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything.
Wei Ning had a low fever, so Jiang Yi put the warm handkerchief on Wei Ning's forehead again and again.
Wei Ning recalled the time when they first met. He fainted and she let him press on her legs all the way. Even when her legs were numb, she did not wake him up.
The beggar's words just now came to his mind again.
The wife of Marquis Wuding is truly a kind person to the core.
Perhaps she was too tired, Jiang Yi fell asleep on the edge of the couch, and Wei Ning dared to open his eyes to look at her.
The woman had an exceptionally fair face, with long, slender eyebrows like a painting, and a pair of eyes like water apricots covered by long, narrow eyelashes.
He reached out and touched her eyes, recalling what had happened during the day.
She has a pair of very gentle eyes and eyebrows. When she looks at people, it always makes people feel warm in their hearts and makes people unconsciously let down their guard.
This defenseless sleeping posture makes people feel graceful and beautiful, as beautiful as poetry and painting.
Just too kind.
She is too kind and warm, so she seems too naive.
How could Marquis Wu Ding have such a naive wife?
Can anyone in this world be saved at will?
He thought of Marquis Wuding again. If Marquis Wuding knew that it was his wife who rescued him from the palace, he would be so angry.
Since the movements in the palace were unclear, he might as well disappear for a while to see what the Marquis of Wu Ding would do next before making any plans.
As for now.
Marquis Wu Ding wanted to control the government, so he first robbed his house.
The emperor looked at Jiang Yi's eyebrows again. Jiang Yi moved. He was startled and pretended to be asleep.
Jiang Yi woke up slowly. It felt uncomfortable to pretend to be asleep. He just had to go through the motions. He thought Wei Ning would be even more tired.
She deliberately didn't leave, letting him pretend for a while longer, until the man could no longer hold on and opened his eyes.
