Before Gu An could react, the emperor had already quickly passed by Gu An, came to Jiang Yi, and carefully helped him up.
He lowered his eyes and asked her, "Is there anything serious?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Yi said, forcing a smile on his pale face, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"It's good that nothing happened." The emperor then looked at Cheng, a glance that was light but full of intimidation.
Cheng couldn't help but think of those terrible days in the palace.
The emperor was ruthless and didn't care at all that she was just a woman. He was also very protective of Jiang Yi. If he allowed Jiang Yi to throw this basin of dirty water on her head, then...
Cheng quickly knelt before the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have never dared to be disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine. This is all a misunderstanding. I simply wanted to be close to her, but I was a little too forceful."
This time she finally learned her lesson and didn't dare to say anything bad about Jiang Yi.
Then he said, "Gu An, you saw it. Come on, explain it to the Emperor."
Gu An, who was named, subconsciously looked at Jiang Yi.
She was held in the emperor's arms, still looking fragile, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she raised her eyes nonchalantly, with a hint of mockery in them. Gu An felt a pang in his heart, and spoke almost anxiously, "I did see Concubine Cheng in the mansion push the Empress down."
After saying this, he was stunned for a moment.
Pei Siliang also looked at Gu An meaningfully. He naturally saw through the little woman's tricks. He loved her, so he was happy to indulge her little tricks.
But why did Gu An do that?
He did not help his aunt who had been his stepmother, but took the initiative to speak up for Jiang Yi.
Cheng was even more shocked, "Anger, what are you talking about?"
"Have you also been bewitched by that vixen?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and Pei Siliang kicked Cheng in the heart. Cheng fell heavily to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
The emperor turned sideways in time to avoid the blood from splashing on Jiang Yi, but he inevitably got blood splashed on his body, which added a bit of coldness to his appearance. However, when he lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Yi, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Does it still hurt?"
Jiang Yi said: "It hurts a little, but it's not serious."
There is no need for Cheng to put herself in danger now.
He immediately picked up Jiang Yi and carried her horizontally. He said to the late Marquis of Wu'an, "Cheng is so audacious that she attempted to murder the Imperial Concubine. Since she is from the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, she should be punished according to the family rules of the mansion."
Marquis Wu'an hadn't figured out what had happened yet, so he didn't dare ask any more questions. He quickly agreed and hurried after him, "I've had food prepared. Your Majesty, please stay for lunch before leaving."
The emperor walked away quickly and ignored Marquis Wu'an.
Marquis Wu'an glanced at Jiang Yi in the emperor's arms again and said, "Besides, your Majesty is in a bad condition now, it's probably not suitable for her to walk around. Why not let the imperial physician come and take a look first? If there's nothing serious, then..."
Jiang Yi was placed in a side room of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. The imperial physician came soon and confirmed that Jiang Yi was not seriously injured, except that her skin was a little fragile and had some bruises.
The emperor waited until the imperial physician left and dismissed the servants before pretending to be cold and asking Jiang Yi, "Is it fun?"
Jiang Yi knew that the man had seen through her trick.
There were many palace maids following her, so she couldn't hide it from him. Seeing that he was angry, she was a little flustered.
She looked up at him, but his eyes were expressionless.
She stood up, hooked her arms around his neck, and said repeatedly, "I was wrong."
"What's wrong?" he asked coldly.
Jiang Yi whispered, "I shouldn't have framed my mother. Hmm, am I a bad woman in the eyes of the emperor now? Will the emperor abandon me?"
These words contained some speculation, because she didn't know where the emperor's bottom line was towards her.
His love is there, intangible and unfathomable.
She buried her face in the emperor's chest, and Pei Siliang gradually felt the wetness.
"You think I'm angry about this?"
"Are you afraid that I will abandon you? It has always been you who has abandoned me."
The humility in these words was obvious, and Jiang Yi felt even more confused. Even if she was brave enough, she would not dare to give up the emperor.
"I'm not angry about this, it's..." She boldly guessed, "Is the emperor afraid that I'll get hurt?"
He lowered his head and bit her, "Don't put yourself in danger like this again."
He confirmed her guess.
She suddenly chuckled softly and put her small hands around the emperor's waist, "I won't do that again."
She added, "I did this because I knew the emperor was indulging me."
Sensing the emperor's thoughts, she felt a little sweetness spread in her heart. Being liked by others is a happy thing, and being liked by the emperor is even happier.
Pei Siliang said: "You just rely on the fact that I like you."
He continued to bite her, leaving behind an indescribable taste.
Her eyes were filled with stars. "This is the first time Your Majesty has said that he likes me. I am so touched. If you like me, then I like you too."
After living a new life, her little mouth has become so sweet.
Bitterness and sweetness surged, Pei Siliang's eyes were still obscure and difficult to understand, "Is it just love?"
"Then I love you, do you love me too?"
Jiang Yi said: "Of course!"
She took the initiative to kiss his lips, and his breathing suddenly quickened. Hearing footsteps outside, he glanced outside and said, "Your Majesty, my father came to tell me that the meal is ready. When can you and the Empress come over?"
