The cold voice exploded in the hall, and Jiang Cangsong and the other two were shocked, as if they were suddenly thrown into an icy cave! "Your Majesty, I am innocent, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Cangsong struggled desperately, trying to bury the secret forever.
As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his head and saw their Beiyue Emperor sitting in the main seat, looking at him gloomily, and that evil creature Jiang Li was actually sitting in His Majesty's arms! !
Jiang Cangsong's head was buzzing, and his pupils suddenly shrank when he thought of what Jiang Li had just said! Could it be that what that evil creature just said was true, and His Majesty already knew her true identity?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Cangsong's heart sank to the bottom.
He originally thought that this evil creature had used some shameful means to get His Majesty to make her a concubine. He had never expected that she would be so favored by His Majesty! If even His Majesty stood on her side, then...
Jiang Cangsong didn't dare to think about the rest of the things. He once again regretted coming to the palace without finding out the situation clearly.
The two things Jiang Cangsong regretted most in his life were letting Jiang Li enter the palace instead of Jiang Zhi, and the other was what was happening right now.
He shouldn't have been so blinded by fear that he rushed to the palace based on only one-sided information.
Now, Jiang Li has not only been granted the title of consort but is also greatly favored by His Majesty. I believe that even if the matter is exposed, His Majesty will not blame her too much. This move is equivalent to stretching his neck in front of her for her to slaughter!
"How dare you! You are such an unruly person! Who gave you the courage to look directly into the eyes of the Emperor?"
Eunuch Su scolded with a cold face, and Jiang Cangsong came to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Eunuch Su snorted coldly: "Why don't you tell the truth now!"
Under the feet of the emperor, Jiang Cangsong no longer dared to play any tricks. In order to save his life, he quickly confessed Jiang Li's entire life story.
Just as Jiang Li guessed, her mother Ye had a relationship with Jiang Feng, who gave her the jade pendant, but no one knew what happened later that caused the two to separate.
After the separation, Ye found out that she was pregnant. In order to give the fetus in her belly a legitimate identity, Ye made a deal with Jiang Cangsong.
Despite her parents' objections, Ye was willing to humble herself and become Jiang Cangsong's nominal concubine, making him the nominal father of her unborn baby. However, as the daughter of a wealthy businessman, the only thing Ye could offer Jiang Cangsong in a deal was her enormous wealth.
Call her naive or stupid, but at that stage, this was the only solution she could think of.
After becoming a concubine in the Jiang family, Jiang Li's life experience became Jiang Cangsong's lifeline to control Ye. As long as Ye did not agree to his request, Jiang Cangsong would use Jiang Li's life experience as a threat.
For the sake of her daughter, Jiang Cangsong had to smooth out the edges of Ye's temperament.
After Jiang Li was born, Jiang Cangsong did not treat her as his own daughter as he had promised Ye before. Seeing his daughter living under someone else's roof and being bullied, Ye regretted her decision and fell seriously ill. Her health deteriorated day by day until Jiang Li could no longer hold on and passed away when she was fifteen years old.
Without the protection of the Ye family, Jiang Zhi and her daughter became even more disgusted with the increasingly beautiful Jiang Li, and they bullied her everywhere.
Jiang Li, who was alone and helpless in the Jiang Mansion, tried to escape from the cage more than once, but was caught every time.
She has not married yet and there is still value in her that has not been exploited.
Jiang Cangsong has already thought about Jiang Li's future. He wants to send her to a high-ranking official's house to be a concubine, so that she can become a ladder for his official career.
But before that, he had to reveal Jiang Li's true identity first. He didn't want to be labeled by the people as cruel and ruthless, willing to sacrifice his daughter for the sake of power.
No matter whether he tortures her or treats her harshly, as long as he keeps the secret of Jiang Li's life experience, the mysterious man will agree to whatever Jiang Cangsong wants.
The pie fell from the sky, so Jiang Cangsong naturally had no reason to refuse it, so he had to continue to keep the secret that Jiang Li was not his flesh and blood.
Later, Jiang Zhi's horoscope matched that of His Majesty, and he was summoned to the palace. Jiang Zhi refused to obey, so Jiang Cangsong had no choice but to knock Jiang Li unconscious and send her into the palace, where she became a scapegoat for the nobles in the palace to torture her.
I thought I could live a peaceful life after this incident, but I didn't expect it to develop into this situation! Jiang Cangsong confessed everything he knew in one breath, and then knocked his head heavily on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have explained everything to you. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and let me leave the palace! I promise that I will not bother the Concubine Xian again in the future!"
Jiang Cangsong kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Now he just wanted to leave the palace alive!
Song Chengyin looked at Jiang Li in his arms: "Ali, what do you think we should do with them?"
Song Chengyin handed the decision-making power of dealing with Jiang Cangsong's family of three to Jiang Li. After learning what Jiang Cangsong and others had done to Jiang Li, he wanted to torture them to death on the spot, but was stopped by Jiang Li in the end.
Jiang Li has her own plans, and he respects her choice.
"Her Majesty, please spare me, Her Majesty, please spare me!"
After hearing that Song Chengyin asked Jiang Li to deal with them, Jiang Cangsong quickly changed his words and begged Jiang Li for mercy.
"My queen, please spare me, my queen, please spare me!"
Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhi were really scared now. They heard clearly how His Majesty called Jiang Li just now. It seemed that what Jiang Li said just now was not a bluff. His Majesty really knew her true identity early on! Jiang Li stood up from Song Chengyin's arms and slowly walked towards Jiang Cangsong and the other two.
"Look at what you are saying. Although I am not a member of the Jiang family, we have lived under the same roof for more than ten years. You are my adoptive parents. How could I kill them?"
"Thank you, Madam! Thank you so much, Madam!"
Jiang Cangsong and the other two were overjoyed and kowtowed to Jiang Li in a hurry to express their gratitude.
"Since I have lived with you for more than ten years, I can spare your lives. However, you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living!"
"In my opinion, it would be better to exile you to the northern border with a hundred charges. The farther away you are, the less likely I will remember what you did to me before. This way you can keep your head. What do you think?"
Jiang Cangsong and Madam Jiang's eyebrows kept throbbing. They asked them, "Do they dare to say no?" Although the environment in the northern border is bitter and cold, it is better than losing your life!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!
"Thank you for your mercy, Madam!"
Even though the two of them were extremely unwilling, they still kowtowed to Jiang Li and expressed their gratitude.
After hearing about the execution, Jiang Zhi's reaction was unexpectedly calm. In her opinion, exile to the northern border was thousands of times better than living in Zhang's house! Jiang Zhi was excited about getting rid of Zhang's house, but Jiang Li's next words directly plunged her into the abyss.
"As the saying goes, it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Since Jiang Zhi is already married, she should be sent back to her husband's family after the execution."
