The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

So, she can still go to the Imperial Garden to relax.

...In fact, before she died, after drinking bowl after bowl of medicine, her health had improved a lot and her spirits had improved.

It was also because of this that His Majesty the Emperor was in the mood to hold a palace banquet during the Lantern Festival that year.

But at that time, Jiang Lingyue had already lost her heart and was unwilling to accompany him to the Taiji Palace to have a banquet with all the ministers. Instead, she chose to stay in the Changyue Palace.

She was even rebellious. Knowing that he didn't want her to see the concubines, she opened the palace gate and let them in when the concubines came to the palace gate to kowtow and pay their respects.

In addition to her rebellious mentality, she also wanted to meet Jiang Lingxin.

But Jiang Lingxin didn't come. It should be said that Jiang Lingxin has never shown up since she entered the palace.

When she was canonized as a noble concubine, an imperial decree was conveyed to the harem. During the New Year and other festivals, all the concubines in the six palaces had to come to the gate of Changyue Palace to kowtow to her and pay their respects.

This is an honor only bestowed upon the Queen.

Even the empresses of all dynasties needed to entertain their concubines in order to demonstrate their virtue.

And she doesn't need to.

But that day, Hui, Xian and Shu, the three first-rank concubines, were all present.

However, Concubine Jiang Lingxin did not come.

At that time, Jiang Lingyue naturally thought that it was the emperor's connivance.

Now she doesn't think so.

At this moment...

Her eyebrows twitched as she stared at the man in front of her, "What did you feed me?"

“…” Qi Junyi opened his lips, but was speechless for a moment.

After being speechless for a while, he finally spoke under her pressing gaze.

"Don't think too much," he said softly, unwilling to lie to her, "It's just medicine."

"!!!"

How could Jiang Lingyue not know what he meant? Her eyes suddenly widened, and she sat up with a somersault, wishing she could vomit.

But the hand on the waist showed no sign of loosening.

Seeing her ugly expression, Qi Junyi stretched out his arms with heartache and pressed her into his arms.

"Don't blame me, Yueyue," he held her tightly, as if holding his most precious baby, "I just want you to be alive,... I want you to be well..."

What does Jiang Lingxin mean to him? As long as she can get better, he will do it without hesitation even if it means cutting his own flesh.

"We won't eat it in this lifetime. I got the Blood Spirit Ginseng in advance, and the antidote will be prepared soon."

As he spoke, Qi Junyi's arms tightened and he murmured, "You will be fine this time. I can save you."

'It'll be fine'...

He kept saying this in her ear, and the implicit stubbornness was frightening.

Jiang Lingyue, who was originally feeling like vomiting, felt a little creepy.

It was not until this moment that she realized it clearly.

How much has he changed?

How could this young emperor, who is known to be gentle, reserved, generous and benevolent, have such a neurotic side?

Did he hide it too well, or did something unexpected happen that made him become like this?

...Is it because of her?

Her death?

Jiang Lingyue couldn't believe it. She felt the air getting thinner and thinner. She reached out and patted his back, "You... let me go first..."

The hand on her waist loosened a little, but the man on her didn't mean to retreat. Instead, he buried his face in the crook of her neck and rubbed it gently.

"Yueyue," he said softly, "Believe me, I really didn't touch her."

Although she didn't understand why he brought this up again, but sensing that something was wrong with him at the moment, Jiang Lingyue remained patient and said, "Okay, I believe you."

"fraud."

Jiang Lingyue's brows unconsciously knitted together. Before she could reply, she heard the voice over her shoulder continue, "Whether I touch her or not is none of your business. I was foolish enough to make this bet with you."

His tone was gentle, with a hint of bitterness.

But Jiang Lingyue could not hear his bitterness. She only heard him say that she didn't care at all about Jiang Lingxin entering the palace.

Jiang Lingyue almost suspected that she had misheard.

...She doesn't care?

When she learned about this, it was like a bolt from the blue. She mustered up all her courage to question him, but in return she was told, "Although you are not from the same mother, you are somewhat similar."

Such humiliation is engraved into the soul.

Even if time passes and she can let go of her unbearable love and greed, she cannot let go of such humiliation.

And now, he said she didn't care?

A nameless anger quickly rose in my heart.

Also, what does it mean to bet on this?

What does he mean?

Don't tell her that her breakdown, helplessness and pain were all because he wanted to make a bet with her?

If that's the case, it's ridiculous.

"Don't hold me!"

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the trembling in her heart, pushed the person away, sat up, stared at him, and said through gritted teeth, "What do you want to say?"

Whether it was because of anger or because of the emotions she was suppressing, the corners of her eyes were red, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were staring, and her whole person was finally no longer calm.

A little more angry.

Qi Junyi also sat up with her. Seeing her like this, the pain in his heart actually felt a little better.

Yes.

That's how it should be.

She couldn't let him get caught up in this alone, while she just watched calmly.

That's it again.

Those eyes full of pain again.

It was as if he was the one who was betrayed and abandoned.

As if she had done something really wrong to him.

Say she is a liar.

She thought he was a complete liar.

Emotional bastard!

It was with this kind of face that he tricked her into falling in love with him, tricked her into crying, and tricked her into feeling like she was dying.

Now they are trying to turn the tables.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Jiang Lingyue felt a pang of pain in her nose, and the suppressed anger almost burst through her head.

She dodged his outstretched hand. Her emotions had reached a critical point, and she couldn't help but raise her voice, "Qi Junyi, what do you want to say?"

Such angry and direct questioning.

The title that included both the full name and the surname made Qi Junyi stunned for a moment.

In the past, he hated her calmness, but now, she was no longer calm as she wished.

...He should be happy.

Qi Junyi calmed down and said, "I want to tell you the real reason why I accepted your sister into the palace."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to hug her again.

"Don't touch me," Jiang Lingyue shrank to the foot of the bed, holding the quilt, and said through gritted teeth, "Don't touch me!"

She didn't want him to touch her at all.

She resented his touch.

Qi Junyi froze.

The beautiful hand paused in the air for a few moments, then slowly retracted, with his eyes lowered, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, his lips moved.

"...So, you care."

That's right, even if she didn't love him, Jiang Lingxin was her sister from the same mother, the daughter of Shen, and he openly gave her a high position and doted on her.

How could she not care.

Didn't he know this a long time ago and do it on purpose?

So, what did he do?

Qi Junyi's throat choked, and he said in a hoarse voice, "That was just angry talk."

It was really just a rant.

They all knew what he said in anger.

Jiang Lingyue curled her lips slightly and said nothing.
