But Jiang Yi soon discovered that she could do nothing.
She was imprisoned by the emperor in Jinhua Palace, and except when he attended the morning court, she could hardly leave his side for a moment.
He always looked at her with an affectionate and scorching gaze, and she didn't know when he would take her. She was exhausted from dealing with it, and she also felt that she couldn't understand this emperor at all. Sometimes she didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
She could only endure and lie dormant for the time being.
She stayed in Jinhua Palace obediently, eating and living with him like an ordinary couple. He said she was his wife and never asked her to greet him. He got up very early in the morning and never asked her to serve him. He was even very careful not to disturb her. After coming back from the morning court, he would come to see her first and kiss her forehead. She was very happy every time.
She would also do things to please the emperor and make him some small gadgets. He would also appear very happy, but he would always say that she didn't need to do anything, as long as she stayed by his side.
He always appears to be very affectionate, but it is precisely because of this that Jiang Yi feels uneasy.
Affection is shown through actions, not words.
He always said he loved her, but he never did anything for her.
He knew clearly what Cheng and Gu Niaoniao had done to him, but he let it go.
In Jiang Yi's opinion, this so-called love is nothing but lip service.
But Jiang Yi also didn't understand why a dignified emperor would coax him like this.
With his identity and position, he can express his true feelings without any scruples.
There's no need to coax her like this.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Yi didn't know how to exert her strength, because no matter what she did, he remained the same.
Fake and excessive affection.
But with her status, it is not easy for her to express dissatisfaction.
After the two of them had been together for over a month, Jiang Yi felt that he had no way to deal with this emperor.
Her efforts were useless, so Jiang Yi simply gave up.
She no longer tried to please him on purpose, and always looked listless, which made him a little angry.
On the third day after that, Jiang Yi met Gu Niaoniao.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Gu Niaoniao looked thinner than before. The moment she saw her, her eyes almost spitted fire, and then she immediately lowered her head, her body trembling.
Jiang Yi always felt that Gu Niaoniao was extremely strange. Her face showed great pain when she walked, as if she was being tortured. It took her a quarter of an hour to walk just a few steps.
She still had that arrogant look, but Jiang Yi always felt that she was different from before, with a hint of embarrassment. She looked at everyone in the hall like a thief, and then said to Jiang Yi with a weak voice: "Don't think that you are different now that you have the emperor's favor. The emperor likes you now, but there will always be a day when you fall out of favor. When that time comes..."
She raised her eyes, revealing some genuine hatred, "I will return all the pain you have inflicted on me, and also on your brother..."
Hearing the word "brother", Jiang Yi looked up suddenly.
Jiang Yuan was a foreigner, so naturally he couldn't stay in the palace.
After that day, Jiang Yuan was sent to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. At that time, the emperor promised him that he would put pressure on the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and would not let Jiang Yuan suffer any harm.
It seems that Cheng doesn't have the courage to do anything to her brother now, but it may not be the case in the future.
Facing Gu Niaoniao's intimidation, Jiang Yi simply said, "Then just wait until the day I fall out of favor."
"But I thought, even if I fall out of favor, you won't be favored either. I am better than you anyway."
These words shocked Gu Niaoniao.
She knew in her heart that Jiang Yi was right.
She lost her virginity before entering the palace, and after entering, she tried to deceive the emperor. Such a sin deserved death.
But the emperor spared her life.
He spared her life, but made her live a life worse than death, and she suffered torture every day.
From the outside, it seemed that she was merely demoted to a concubine, but Gu Niaoniao knew that she was not even as good as the lowest servant in the palace.
The palace maids in Qiulan Palace showed her no respect at all, and she was bullied by the inferior people she once looked down upon the most.
She also had to worry all the time about whether the emperor would order her death.
Until yesterday, Eunuch Li, who was beside the emperor, found her and asked her to say these words to Jiang Yi.
She didn't understand why, but her woman's intuition told Gu Niaoniao that the emperor was not doing this to attract Jiang Yi to compete for his favor.
The emperor likes Jiang Yi, maybe even more deeply. This guess just appeared in Gu Niaoniao's mind, and it made Gu Niaoniao jealous and crazy.
Why does Jiang Yi do that?
"Don't think that the emperor really likes you. How could an emperor of that status really like a woman? You are just the emperor's plaything. Yes, it must be like this..."
Before he could finish his words, people from Jinhua Palace had already gone to ask Gu Niaoniao to leave.
Jiang Yi looked at Gu Niaoniao's back for a long time.
She stayed in Jinhua Palace for more than a month. During this time, Concubine Shu came to see her, but before she could come in, she was asked to leave by the head nanny.
It can be seen that the emperor had issued an order not allowing concubines to enter and leave at will.
But Gu Niaoniao came in and said those words.
Is Gu Niaoniao favored? Not really.
Without the emperor's permission, Gu Niaoniao could not come in.
And her last words sounded more like fear.
She was afraid that the emperor would really fall in love with her.
Why was she so afraid? Was it the emperor's behavior that made her make such a guess?
