She continued to ask, "If she had never entered the palace, would the emperor have fallen in love with me?"
The emperor said, "This is your fourth question, but I can tell you that it is not true."
"Whether I love you or not has nothing to do with anyone else. It only has to do with you and me."
Concubine Jing's heart choked. "One last question. Before the Song family fell, I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Emperor. But that day, the Emperor found an excuse and left. Do you really not understand, or are you deliberately avoiding me?"
The emperor felt a little tired, "Of course he is deliberately escaping."
"One more question," Concubine Jing continued, "If Jiang Yi hadn't entered the palace, would you have accepted the olive branch I offered you?"
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across the emperor's face. Concubine Jing caught this hint and said, "I am about to die. Let me know clearly before I die."
The emperor closed his eyes for a long time, then said, "Yes."
He couldn't deceive himself. If it weren't for Jiang Yi, he would have cooperated with Concubine Jing.
But with Jiang Yi, Concubine Jing had previously wanted to kill Jiang Yi. Concubine Jing was still determined to kill Jiang Yi, so it was naturally impossible for him to cooperate with Concubine Jing again.
Although this thought was true, the emperor suddenly felt guilty.
It seemed like he was being unfair to Jiang Yi by thinking this way.
Concubine Jing smiled, a rare moment. "If it weren't for Jiang Yi, would His Majesty choose to be a real couple with me?"
"After all, in the past, the emperor also..."
"No." The emperor interrupted Concubine Jing's fantasy, "Never, never before, and even less likely in the future."
“The distance between two people’s hearts is actually determined from the beginning.”
"From the very beginning, Concubine Jing and I have been on guard against each other. No one would marry someone who might take their life."
Concubine Jing's breath suddenly stopped. Before today, she did have fantasies in her heart.
She was thinking, if she had stopped him on the day they had a heart-to-heart talk and let him listen to what she said, perhaps they would be completely different now.
She always thought that they began to go to the end on that day.
It turns out that they were destined to be like this a long, long time ago.
She was just delusional.
The little bit of warmth that had just risen in her heart was completely extinguished, and Concubine Jing's eyes became silent again in an instant.
She looked at the emperor's quickly disappearing back and suddenly felt how sad her life was.
Her parents and relatives don't love her, and her husband doesn't love her either.
What can she do?
Her path seemed blocked from the start.
What can she do?
It seemed wrong from the start.
She had nowhere to go.
Would it have been different if she had surrendered to the emperor from the very beginning?
No, the emperor just said that he would not have any feelings for her.
If she could do it again, what could she do?
They are all dead ends.
After Concubine Jing returned, she hanged herself.
The news of her death did not cause much sensation, but Jiang Yi soon found out.
The sudden rain had just stopped, and when the emperor rushed over, his clothes were soaked.
He saw that Jiang Yi was awake and not scared by the thunder outside, and he immediately felt relieved.
Jiang Yi found it funny and teased him, "I only get woken up at night when I'm asleep, and it's not night now."
The emperor said, "What if, you fall asleep and are startled awake again?"
Jiang Yi didn't tell him that she used to be very afraid of thunder, but she is no longer afraid of it.
She still felt very happy just seeing his worried look.
The emperor quickly took a bath and then threw away the clothes he was wearing.
Jiang Yi asked in confusion: "The clothes are fine, they were just wet by the rain, why did you throw them away?"
The emperor said, "I just don't like it very much."
After he said that, Jiang Yi naturally didn't say anything else. After all, it was just a piece of clothing.
The emperor and Jiang Yi were not surprised to hear the news that Concubine Jing had committed suicide.
Although this person directly caused her death, she has no feelings towards him.
Compared to Concubine Jing, she hated her own biological father more and the Duke of Song and his wife even more.
Concubine Jing only acted as a pusher. With or without this pusher, her ending would be the same.
Even though Concubine Jing acted like a demon later on, it was all within her control. She didn't actually regard Concubine Jing as an opponent because she was not qualified.
So when this person died, Jiang Yi felt nothing.
But after all, she was the emperor's first wife, and now that she is dead, the proper regulations must be followed.
But that's all.
Concubine Jing died quietly. Even her aunt, the Empress Dowager, simply said, "This child has a miserable life," and that was all.
Princess Anyang and Jiang Yi have a close relationship, and the emperor promised to marry Princess Anyang's daughter to the prince, so whether Concubine Jing is dead or not, the empress dowager will not feel threatened.
It doesn't matter anymore.
At this time, Jiang Yi was attracted by another matter.
Lord Zhou, the Minister of the Dali Temple, asked to see the emperor for a very trivial matter. It turned out that he received a report from a woman that her daughter was defiled by a man. Naturally, the emperor would not tolerate such a person who bullies men and women.
So Lord Zhou quickly arrested the man, but at this time he brought up the Queen.
He said that he was the queen's biological father and wanted to meet the queen.
This put Mr. Zhou in a dilemma.
