The emperor asked the imperial physician about the empress dowager's health, and then said, "Mother, there is something I have never told you."
"Do you know who Consort Jiang is?"
"Years ago, you took me to find your relatives. A family took pity on us and gave us a generous sum of money. In the end, you cured me of my illness. You said you were very grateful to them. Do you remember?"
The Queen Mother certainly remembered, and she said, "What does this have to do with Concubine Xian?"
She suddenly remembered that Concubine Jiang's surname was also Jiang, and a guess suddenly came to her mind.
The emperor said, "The virtuous concubine is the little girl from that year."
This news was too sudden, and the Queen Mother was still unable to react for a while.
"It's true that she and the Prince Consort were once engaged, but everything else is fake. The Prince Consort broke the engagement because he won Anyang's favor. You've also seen Concubine Xian's stepmother. She's a ruthless person. She once received favors from Madam Jiang, but after Madam Jiang died, she couldn't tolerate Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian had no other choice but to come to the capital from Jiangnan."
"I can call them over and ask them whether what they say is true or false."
The empress dowager had almost believed what the emperor said. She had never expected that Jiang Yi would be the little girl from that year.
For a moment, she felt a strong sense of self-blame and guilt.
She actually ruined her benefactor's life.
She was wrapped in guilt and couldn't speak for a while.
The emperor thought she didn't believe it, so he asked someone to invite Liu and her daughter over.
The Virgin Queen Mother was anxious and wanted to stop it, but because she was too anxious, she couldn't breathe.
The emperor quickly called the imperial physician, who examined the empress dowager.
Liu's mother and daughter were brought over. They saw the emperor from afar, and Luo Cheng'er's face immediately brightened.
Liu's mother and daughter looked at each other and saw the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
The two of them came before the emperor and knelt to pay their respects. Luo Cheng'er said anxiously, "Your Majesty, you must know what my sister has done. Someone like her is not worthy of you, let alone being your queen."
The emperor was worried about the empress dowager's illness and his expression was a little cold, but Luo Cheng'er thought he was heartbroken by Jiang Yi.
She stepped forward and tried to hold the emperor's hand, but the emperor shook her off harshly.
The emperor did not look at her and said to someone, "Take her to the virtuous concubine."
Luo Cheng'er thought that the emperor wanted her to confront Concubine Xian, and she was quite happy.
Liu felt something was wrong and wanted to say something, but was also taken out.
The Empress Dowager fainted and the Emperor wanted to bring Liu in, but the Empress Dowager said, "No need, I trust you."
"It's my fault."
The emperor said, "Then explain this to Jiang Yi."
"What do you want to explain?" asked the Queen Mother.
The emperor said, "It means you don't dislike her, it means you like her very much."
