"Not really." She continued, "Now that things have come to this, does Your Majesty still want me to cry, make a scene, and even hang myself? You don't like this."
The emperor said, "Who said I don't like this?"
Jiang Yi naturally thought of Concubine Jing.
Jiang Yi learned something from Concubine Jing.
When a man doesn't like you, crying or making a fuss will be of no use.
She made up her mind at that time that she would never become like this.
So how could she be like that?
The emperor added, "I like you like this. Maybe if you cry a little, I will send her away."
Jiang Yi just looked at him calmly, "What tricks is the emperor playing again? Is there something wrong with this person?"
The emperor suddenly felt very frustrated.
"Xiao Yi is really smart." He had no interest in saying anything now. He looked at Jiang Yi, and suddenly waved at him and said, "Come here and help me sit up."
Jiang Yi had no suspicion and walked to the couch to help the emperor sit up.
The emperor suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.
He said viciously beside her lips: "Sometimes I really want to go back to the time when I first met you. Although we were both helpless at that time, at least you were willing to fool me."
"Sometimes I think that maybe I am too devoted to you, which is why you take me so seriously."
He sighed again, "But there's nothing I can do. How can I be mean to you?"
He felt inexplicably melancholy.
Jiang Yi felt his strength, and this man didn't look like he was injured at all.
Thinking about what he said before, I became certain.
She felt relieved, and thinking about what she had said before, looking at the man's melancholy expression, she raised her hand and touched the side of his face.
"Brother Zhonglin."
The emperor looked up suddenly.
"How could I not care?" She said absentmindedly, "I care too much. When I saw her standing beside you just now, I felt so sad that I wanted to cry, but I just wanted to save face."
"Besides, if I cry and you scold me in front of Madam Hu, wouldn't that be too embarrassing for me?"
"It's all Brother Zhonglin's fault for not telling me in advance."
"And now you're blaming me. Do you know how wronged I feel?"
The emperor's heart suddenly rekindled and began beating wildly.
Even though he knew it was all acting, he was still very moved.
He suddenly started laughing foolishly.
"Touch my face again." He was like a puppy.
Jiang Yi touched his face. Not only did she touch his face, she also kissed him.
The emperor was a little reluctant, but he still pushed the person away, "My legs still hurt, don't mess around."
Jiang Yi was shocked and pinched his leg.
There was no sign of pain on his face.
Jiang Yi felt that he was a little mysterious today.
The emperor then said to her, "That person just now was a spy from the Wu Kingdom. She came to steal the border map from me after the Wu Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat. She was patient enough to put on a show, but I don't have the patience to play along with her. I'll make her a fake one soon."
Jiang Yi said "hmm", then she said: "Then I'll leave first."
The emperor looked at her back, then lay down again, pretending to be asleep.
When Madam Hu saw that the emperor was asleep and there was no one in the hall, she was overjoyed. She stole the border map as she wished and sent it out of the palace.
When Madam Hu walked out of the hall, the prince also walked out from the dark.
The emperor said to the prince, "Keep an eye on her and make sure she delivers the things."
The prince replied yes.
He thought about the scene just now and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the emperor. "Doesn't your father blame my mother for what she did just now?"
Not to mention the emperor, even if the prince put himself in the other's shoes, if he was so sincere to a woman and she was so cold to him, he would be so angry that he would explode.
But his father was... so humble.
"Strange, how could she bear to do that?" In front of his son, the emperor didn't mind at all. "You only saw your mother's nonchalant look at first, but didn't see her later behavior?"
The prince was puzzled, "Later, didn't the Queen Mother try to coax you?"
"You don't understand this, do you?" the emperor said with the tone of an experienced person, "It's not that she doesn't know how to coax people. In fact, your mother is the best at coaxing people."
"But why didn't she come to comfort me before?"
"Those little tricks to win favor are all left over from your mother's play. It's just that she no longer bothers to do so, nor does she need to do so."
"Doesn't she care about me? No, she cares about me too much!"
"But she is not sure whether I still love her. She is not sure whether I will betray her."
"Because of uncertainty, there is doubt, and your mother is the most decisive person."
"If she thinks I have other intentions, she will definitely not give in."
"As soon as she realized that I had done her no wrong, she immediately bowed her head."
"If this isn't about caring, what is it?"
"Oh, to be honest, it's my fault that she has such doubts."
The prince was a little confused. Is that true?
The prince at that time naturally did not understand, until he happened to meet a flower-picking girl in the East Palace, and felt deeply hurt by the customary rules that the emperor had previously agreed upon with his mother, the empress dowager. Only then did he realize that love means always feeling indebted.
