After a while, Jiang Yi hugged his waist and said, "Thank you."
"I never thought you would really..."
The man Jiang Yi had the most contact with in her previous life was the deposed Crown Prince Chu Chengfeng. Chu Chengfeng was heartless and disloyal, and she thought that most men in this world were like that.
Not only had she never given her heart to the emperor, she had never even trusted him.
But this time she seemed to be wrong. The emperor and Chu Chengfeng were completely different men.
Although he was sometimes despicable and would use her weaknesses to control her and force her into the palace, he also really did what he promised.
Jiang Yi was a little touched.
"Silly girl, I didn't do this to make you cry. I wanted to make you happy."
The emperor coaxed her softly, "What's the big deal? I'm the emperor, and doing these things is the simplest thing. What's there to be moved about? I'm your man, and I should do anything for you."
When the emperor looked down, Jiang Yi had already fallen asleep.
Feeling a bit amused, he put the person on the couch and covered him with a thin blanket.
The Cheng Palace announced to the public that Princess Cheng had died of a sudden illness. People who didn't know the inside story were naturally saddened, but the Queen still knew something.
She didn't know that everything was done by the emperor, she thought it was Jiang Yi.
The daughter of a minor official, the Crown Princess who had been bullied by Princess Cheng before, could cause the death of a prince's wife quietly just because she was favored by the emperor.
It is true that the emperor's protection is indispensable during this period, but just thinking about it still makes the queen feel uneasy.
The emperor protected Jiang Yi so much, and Jiang Yi had a child. How could she just sit back and watch her become more powerful?
Princess Qingping's move was a useless one. Jiang Yi didn't drink any of the chicken soup she gave him.
She still has to do it herself.
The Queen had previously asked Princess Cheng to find a sharpshooter, but Princess Cheng was too busy with her own affairs to find one.
The queen then asked her family to find a sharpshooter, who is now in the palace, but she must not move, and must hit the target with one shot.
Opposite the Yaochi Palace is the Chonghua Palace. That palace has never been inhabited. There is an attic at the top, which is a perfect place for people to hide.
Jiang Yi has been taking a walk in the palace every day recently, which has created a suitable opportunity for her, but there is also Li Su by Jiang Yi's side.
Li Su is a secret guard carefully trained by the emperor. He is extremely perceptive, so the queen feels that before taking action, she needs to win over Li Su - it is impossible to get rid of Li Su, so she can only win him over.
The queen thought of using her beauty to win him over.
She found a beautiful palace maid to get close to Li Su on purpose, but she didn't expect that it would go as smoothly as she had initially expected.
Not only did the palace maid get close to Li Su, but Li Su also slept with her that night.
The queen felt that this was God helping her.
The Queen led her men to stop Li Su and went to catch him in the act. "Do you know that this woman is my niece from my mother's family? She came to the palace to accompany me, but you defiled her. What crime should you be punished for?"
Li Su was a little depressed, and after reacting, he said, "She was the first to throw herself at me. Although secret guards cannot marry, this person is the niece of the Empress. If you tell the Emperor, he might let me marry her. Maybe he will even give me an official position for the Empress' sake, hehe."
The queen was speechless.
After a moment, she said, "You're dreaming. With your status, are you qualified to marry the daughter of my He family?"
Li Su asked, "Is it the He family where the legitimate daughter and the servant were hanging out together?"
"You are so presumptuous! Don't think that just because you are the emperor's person, I can't do anything to you. If I tell the emperor about this, do you think you will still be alive tomorrow?" The queen said sternly.
Li Su shrugged, seeming to accept his fate. "Just tell me what you want me to do."
Empress He said, "Since you are sincere to Xiaoxi, I am willing to give you a chance."
"I know you've been ordered to protect the Imperial Concubine. As long as you leave for a while at 9:00 PM the day after tomorrow, not only will I not tell the Emperor about you defiling my niece, I'll also buy you a house outside the palace and give Xiaoxi to you."
Jiang Yi would come out to sit or take a walk at the hour of Si every day.
This condition was very tempting, and with the evidence in hand, the queen was not worried at all that Li Su would disobey.
As expected, Li Su only thought for a moment and said, "That's so simple, okay then."
"How about this, tomorrow the Queen will give me the title deed to that house, and I'll go out and take a look."
The Queen said, "That's easy. I can give it to you today."
Holding the land deed and leading the beauty, Li Su felt very happy.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Li Su pretended to be bitter and resentful and went before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, for you and the Imperial Concubine, I have endured humiliation and even sold my body. I don't want to be known as a money-grubber. I have finally learned the Queen's plan."
