Feng Guang's heart was in his throat. He watched Jiang Yi pick up the cup of tea, but Jiang Yi didn't move.
Jiang Yi put the teacup back on the table, and her face suddenly became very cold.
"Feng Guang, I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Feng Guang was stunned for a moment, he looked at Jiang Yi who was sitting at the top.
The woman who was crying just now suddenly became very cold. She suddenly turned from a daughter longing for her father's love into a queen.
Jiang Yi raised his hand, and the next moment, all of Feng Guang's family members were brought up, and Feng Guang was kicked to the ground by the eunuch.
Before Feng Guang realized what was happening, Jiang Yi spoke coldly, "Back then, you offered your wife to the Marquis of Quling for power and wealth. Naturally, I resented you."
"It's just that I treat you more as a stranger. I don't expect a stranger to be so resolute when facing power. In the final analysis, you are just an ordinary person."
"So even though I deeply hate you in my heart, I only feel disgusted with you in my heart and have never thought of actually doing anything to you."
"But Feng Guang, what do you want me to say about you? There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you throw yourself into it. Isn't it good to live a good life? You insist on seeking death."
"I've given you chance after chance, yet you insist on continuing. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
"You only have one chance. Who instructed you to do this?" Jiang Yi asked.
Feng Guang suddenly came back to his senses and realized what Jiang Yi meant by what he had just said.
That wasn't telling him a daughter's longing for her father, that was testing him!
Would a queen who has nothing she wants really care about her father's love?
He slumped to the ground in dejection.
Li was almost scared to death. She was a truly honest and decent person. She had worked as a slave in a wealthy family to support her family for many years. She never had any big ambitions and just wanted to live a peaceful life with her children.
She kept hitting Feng Guang and asked, "What on earth did you do? Tell the truth. How did you offend the Empress?"
Feng Guang said with a dejected look on his face, "It was Concubine Lu who ordered this commoner to do so."
"Oh, is it just her?" Jiang Yi asked again.
Feng Guang didn't understand what Jiang Yi meant. He quickly said, "I would never dare to deceive the Empress."
Jiang Yi said impatiently again, "I am not questioning the truth of your words. I want to say that it was the Queen Mother who brought you to me..."
Feng Guang reacted immediately and said quickly, "Yes, and the Queen Mother."
"It was the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lu who ordered this. All the blame lies with me. It has nothing to do with my family. Please, Empress Dowager, let my family go."
Then Jiang Yi, who was sitting at the top of the table, raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth, "Do you think it's possible?"
"You have committed a crime of murdering the Empress and her unborn child. Your entire family will be executed."
Jiang Yi sent someone to call the emperor and the empress dowager, and also had someone bring Concubine Lu over.
Feng Guang's legs went completely limp, and only at this moment did he truly regret his decision.
Fear lingered in his heart, and he slapped himself hard. Why had he been so bewitched as to listen to Concubine Lu's words?
Feng Guang did not give up. He went to beg Jiang Yi, "After all, I am your biological father, the only relative you have in this world. Queen, please treat me as your father and beg me. I will treat you very well from now on. I will make up for the fatherly love you have lacked."
"Please let me and your brother and sister go. We are a family. How can a family hold grudges overnight?"
He added, "Your mother used to be the kindest person. If she knew her daughter had become like this, she would never forgive you."
The sneer on Jiang Yi's face became more and more obvious.
"How dare you mention my mother?"
She said impatiently to the palace servant beside her, "Stop his mouth for me."
Concubine Lu was the first to be brought over. When she saw the scene, she knew that Feng Guang had failed. Her face looked bad, but she still pretended to be puzzled and stepped forward to pay her respects to Jiang Yi.
"Empress, these people are..."
Jiang Yi raised his eyes with a smile, "Doesn't Concubine Lu know?"
"You could have been a concubine in the palace peacefully, why did you insist on doing this?" She said with some regret, "Actually, I never intended to take action against you."
She has lived in the palace for more than a year. She is not a person who is intolerant. As long as Concubine Lu behaves herself, she will tolerate Concubine Lu living a very good life in this palace.
But...human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
Concubine Lu's expression changed. "I don't know what the Queen is talking about."
"Beat him to death," Jiang Yi said coldly.
Immediately, palace servants came up to take Concubine Lu away. How could Concubine Lu be willing to be beaten to death like this? She shouted, "I don't know what the Queen is doing. The Queen is killing innocent people like this. I don't accept it. The Emperor will not like such a Queen either."
"Will the court officials not support a queen like you?"
"What else? Support you, a person without a family, without the emperor's favor, and even less a royal heir?"
"How dare Concubine Lu attack me when she has no one to rely on?"
"Drag him away."
After all, Concubine Lu was just a weak woman, and naturally could not break free from the shackles of the guards. Fortunately, the emperor came towards her at this time.
She waved to the emperor excitedly.
The emperor glanced at her, but did not extend a helping hand to her again as he did a few years ago because of the kindness of Empress Dowager Lu in raising her.
He just glanced at her coldly, and then asked someone to take her away quickly.
Concubine Lu's heart immediately sank.
The emperor never loved her, and the kindness that Empress Dowager Lu showed to the emperor could only secure for her the status of a noble concubine.
Jiang Yi asked her why she couldn't just be a concubine, but who would be willing to do that?
She had been in the position of imperial concubine for several years, and finally the queen died, and she was the most qualified to be the successor.
But Jiang Yi, who appeared out of nowhere, took the position of queen.
Jiang Yi was born inferior to her and had been married before. Who could be willing to let such a person suppress them?
Her unwillingness did not allow her to make further progress, but instead caused her to lose completely.
She thought with a sad heart that if Empress Dowager Lu had not died early, she would not have ended up like this.
She stared at the emperor's back, only to see him striding into Fengluan Palace.
At the same time, the Queen Mother was also brought over.
