Jiang Yi immediately threw herself into the emperor's arms and whispered, "I dreamed of my biological mother. She said her death was unjust and that she was murdered. She told me this over and over again in my dream. I was so scared."
The emperor was silent for a moment.
He had previously investigated some matters concerning the Jiang family and knew that Jiang Yi's mother had died in childbirth.
But before this, Rong An had come to him and told him that she had taken a fancy to Jiang Rao and wanted him to arrange a marriage for them.
At that time, he asked someone to check on Jiang Rao and found out that Jiang Rao already had a wife. His sister, a princess, naturally could not be someone's concubine, let alone a co-wife.
Therefore, the emperor rejected Princess Rong'an's request and no longer took the matter to heart.
Two years later, Princess Rong'an and Jiang Rao confided in each other, and then they came before the emperor again. The emperor then learned that Jiang Rao's wife had died in childbirth.
The emperor then arranged a marriage for the two.
When Princess Rong'an married Jiang Rao, the emperor personally went to watch the ceremony. He knew that the Jiang family had demoted his original wife, who had died in childbirth, to a concubine for Rong'an.
The emperor felt that the Jiang family was truly heartless at that time, but it was ultimately the Jiang family's family affair, and he did not know Jiang Yi at that time, so naturally he would not say much.
Thinking about it now, there is something weird about each of these incidents.
Not long after Rong An fell in love with Jiang Rao, Jiang's mother died of complications during childbirth. The emperor was not sure whether Rong An was responsible.
But the emperor thought it was very likely.
This is not entirely true. It is also possible that the Jiang family has noticed Princess Rong'an's intentions and intends to curry favor with the powerful.
In short, everything needs to be carefully investigated to know the truth.
But what if it was Rong An who did it?
The emperor had a struggle in his mind. He looked back at Jiang Yi's pale face and couldn't help feeling pity.
He thought that all the suffering she had suffered over the years was caused by Madam Jiang's death.
Because of Mrs. Jiang's difficult childbirth, his little Yi'er was slandered by his father as a disaster star. He grew up under harsh criticism and dared not speak up for himself.
If the truth behind Mrs. Jiang's difficult labor could be uncovered, Ayi would probably feel much better.
"Since my mother-in-law complained to Ayi in her dream, I will investigate the truth behind her death."
The emperor ordered the Dali Temple Minister to secretly investigate the matter of Jiang Mu's difficult labor. Although it happened many years ago, there are always clues to be found.
