"How could this happen?" Queen Qi slumped down on her chair, her eyes blank.
Her intuition was that the blood of Mu's daughter was causing trouble, but when she arrived, she was not only proven wrong, but also accompanied by a manfen.
The palace servant was on an errand for Emperor Qi, so he would not tell Emperor Qi just because he was worried about her embarrassment.
On the contrary, Emperor Qi was the first to know the news, but he did not make any reaction. This was just waiting for her to explain and admit her mistake.
Empress Qi smiled bitterly, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Let Marquis Dongyang and his two men go."
As for her, she must go to Emperor Qi to plead guilty.
In the main hall, the lights were brightly lit, and Emperor Qi was sitting there approving memorials.
He looked solemn, serious and devoted, but because he had been injured and frightened before, his face was inevitably a little pale and yellow.
"Your Majesty." Empress Qi did not dare to enter rashly. She stood far outside the palace door and said softly, "I have cooked porridge for you to nourish your blood and stomach. Do you want to come in now?"
Emperor Qi raised his head and looked at her calmly without saying a word.
He didn't say a word, but his momentum was so overwhelming that Queen Qi didn't dare to raise her head.
"Send it in." Emperor Qi finally spoke, his voice was steady and there was no hint of joy or anger.
Empress Qi breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and personally carried the porridge bowl in. She knelt on the ground and raised the tray high above her head, which was a sign of apology.
With her status as a queen and the biological mother of the prince, it is rare for her to achieve such a low profile.
But Emperor Qi just looked at her indifferently, and after a moment of silence he said, "Queen, do you still remember what happened back then?"
Queen Qi was slightly startled and said, "Remember."
At that time, he was just a bereaved dog, terrified all day long.
And her natal family, the Jiang family, was in the most embarrassing situation at that time, with no children to succeed and little success. They were not trusted by the old Emperor Qi, and were disliked and guarded against by the Empress Dowager Zhang and her son.
Her father and brother took a fancy to his extraordinary talent, and were sure that he could become a generational overlord, lead the Jiang family to glory, and achieve the grand ambition passed down from his ancestors.
As a result, the two sides hit it off and became allies.
The most stable covenant in the world is a marriage contract.
She is much older than him, and he is tall, handsome, and smart. His courage and strength are extraordinary, but she is average in appearance and only average in intelligence.
She is not even Jiang's only daughter.
But they became a couple.
There is no glamorous wedding to announce to the world, there is just a pair of red candles, a wedding tent, and a pair of mandarin duck pillows on a rainy night.
He was just a young man, and he was clearly at the end of his life, but he was not afraid of danger. He treated her thoughtfully and meticulously, and showed her all his good qualities without reservation.
Maybe it was his calmness that shocked her, or maybe it was his gentleness, thoughtfulness and beauty that attracted her.
She was willing to have a hasty marriage with him, and watched him go to Zhao State for many years, and she was willing to wait for him to come back.
Later, after many, many things, he finally ascended to the throne of God. He had great power. Her father and brother died one after another. He held the entire Jiang family in his hands, leaving only a few people who were for his use and who were not a threat.
There is Gu Mingyue outside, and Concubine Li inside.
She thought that she was bound to die, and that her only son would also die tragically.
But he didn't do that.
That night was also the mid-autumn night of August 15th.
The moon is extremely big, extremely bright, and extremely beautiful.
After the palace banquet, he came to her palace and said, "Ms. Jiang, I am a person who remembers feelings."
