When Princess Rong'an was born, the emperor was already highly valued by the previous emperor. Other people's status is determined by their mothers, but only the emperor and his mother are highly valued by their sons.
As a result, the Empress Dowager was favored by the late Emperor again and Rong'an was born.
Because the emperor suffered a lot when he was a child, he vowed to give his sister the best of everything.
Whatever the other princesses have, Rong'an must have too.
Therefore, Rong An really never suffered any hardship in her life. On the contrary, she lived a very free life.
Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, she could get whatever she wanted and lived a luxurious life.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced suffering to have empathy, because they are used to being superior, and everything is like an ant to them, insignificant.
She is also used to getting whatever she likes.
At this moment, the emperor deeply repented.
Rong An was wrong, and he was wrong too.
Everyone has to pay the price for their actions, Rong An is like this, and so is he.
Even though he was heartbroken, the emperor still stamped his own seal on the imperial edict ordering Princess Rong'an to be exiled to Lingnan.
The emperor suddenly felt deeply exhausted.
"Wait until tomorrow to announce the decree." The emperor ordered.
The palace is deep and full of loneliness.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, but finally walked towards Zhaoyang Palace.
He was used to having Jiang Yi around, and even though he knew the little girl might still be blaming her, he still wanted to go over and take a look.
What if she cried secretly?
What if she feels uncomfortable at night and the palace maid on guard happens to take a nap?
What if she has another nightmare?
The emperor walked quickly into Zhaoyang Palace and saw that Jiang Yi was still asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief, took off his coat, and waited for a while until the coldness on his body was completely gone. Then he got on the bed and held Jiang Yi in his arms. The emperor also felt a little tired.
At one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yi suddenly moved, and the emperor opened his eyes at once.
Jiang Yi was still a little confused, but she just followed her usual habit and subconsciously snuggled into his arms.
When the emperor saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
The big hand rubbed Jiang Yi's little head, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yi said dazedly, "Thirsty."
The emperor quickly brought her some water, and after Jiang Yi drank it, she became somewhat sober.
She subconsciously glanced at the emperor's expression and then asked in a low voice, "I spoke to the emperor like that yesterday. Wasn't the emperor angry?"
He obviously looked a little guilty.
The emperor laughed.
"What are you angry about? Are you angry with me? I can't bear to do that. I'm just afraid that you will make yourself angry." The emperor suddenly felt soft-hearted. How could his little girl be so soft-hearted?
The emperor held Jiang Yi's hand and said, "I know you have been wronged. I have ordered Rong'an to be exiled to Lingnan."
There is no grass growing in Lingnan, not to mention the hardships of exile, which is not much better than being alive.
It’s not certain whether I can reach Lingnan.
To send such a princess, who was born into a noble family and lived a life of luxury, into exile was like falling from heaven to hell.
But because of her status as Princess Rong'an, she will definitely be treated preferentially during her exile.
But Jiang Yi also knew that this was the biggest concession the emperor could make.
But she is not afraid because she still has a son.
It won’t be too late to settle accounts with Rong An after my son ascends the throne.
Her mother died, and Princess Rong'an was also going to die.
On the surface, Jiang Yi seemed to accept the result, and even asked the emperor very considerately: "Your Majesty must be very sad to have your sister exiled."
The emperor scratched Jiang Yi's nose and said, "As long as Xiaoyi is happy, that's all that matters."
Jiang Yi sniffed and was indeed a little touched.
She was acting, but the emperor was not acting. He really wanted to be good to her.
"Well, it's still early. Do you want to go to bed?" asked the emperor.
Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore."
"Are you hungry?"
Jiang Yi nodded.
The emperor then asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some light and delicious meals.
Jiang Yi was too lazy to move, so the emperor came to feed her himself.
Jiang Yi was a little distracted.
She knew that her mother was killed by Princess Rong'an, but she didn't know whether her father knew about it.
"Your Majesty, I want to see my father." Jiang Yi suddenly spoke.
The emperor asked, "Why do you want to see him?"
Jiang Rao had just had three fingers cut off by him, and he's probably still recuperating at home.
Jiang Yi then told the truth, "As early as when my mother gave birth, the eldest princess had met my father in private. Not long after that, my mother was killed by the eldest princess. I had just been born at that time, but there were other people in the Jiang Mansion, so someone would have seen it."
"I can hide this from others, but I can't hide it from the Jiang family. I'm afraid my father has known about it for a long time, but he turned a blind eye just to curry favor with the powerful..."
If Jiang Rao knew the truth of the matter, he would have kept saying that he loved his deceased wife but had no intention of avenging her. That would have been fine, but he repeatedly blamed Jiang Yi for the incident and used it to suppress Jiang Yi.
In other words, no one in the Princess's Mansion liked Jiang Yi, even the servants bullied Jiang Yi. If Jiang Rao could speak up for his eldest daughter, Jiang Yi wouldn't have suffered so much.
Thinking of this possibility, not only Jiang Yi, but also the emperor's face became gloomy for a moment.
For Jiang Yi, he even punished his own sister. If Jiang's father knew everything, he would naturally not let him off easily.
"There's a medicine in the Imperial Prison that can make people tell the truth. If Xiao Yi'er wants to know, I'll have someone feed it to him."
Jiang Yi would naturally be happy if she could easily find out the truth, so she nodded.
Since Jiang Yi couldn't sleep either, the emperor sent people to arrest Jiang's father late at night.
Jiang Rao had a very hard time these past few days. He was injured and his body was in great pain. He couldn't sleep all night. Today, he finally fell asleep, but suddenly heard that the people from the Golden Feather Guard were looking for him.
Princess Rong'an didn't know that the emperor had found out that she had bribed the midwife to kill Jiang's mother, and she didn't know that she had been sentenced to exile.
She looked at the Golden Feather Guards and wanted to ask for some information, but the Golden Feather Guards showed no respect to her as the eldest princess and took Jiang's father away directly.
Princess Rong'an had a very bad premonition.
It was not until the moment when the yamen runners came with the imperial edict and asked the princess to go with them that Princess Rong'an realized that she was finished.
She didn't believe that the emperor would exile her own sister just for the death of Jiang Mu. She clamored to go to the palace to see the emperor, but was knocked unconscious by the yamen runners.
At that time, Jiang's father had been fed medicine by the emperor's men, and his mind was already a little confused.
The emperor just mentioned the name "Wen Jin", and Jiang Rao told out all the truth like pouring beans.
