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

The girl in the corner parted her red lips slightly, speaking in a mocking tone.

She was mocking his affection.

He was extremely sincere and offered his affection with both hands.

Qi Junyi's face froze, his expression gradually became restrained, and the aura around him gradually became solemn.

Unfortunately, Jiang Lingyue didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. She blinked as if she didn't know what was going on and smiled, "Can I ask when did Your Majesty start to 'love' me?"

She emphasized the word "love" very heavily, making the mockery even more pronounced.

After he revealed his whole heart, he not only failed to gain her appreciation.

…She was even disdainful.

Qi Junyi looked at her steadily.

Jiang Lingyue also raised her eyes and looked at him.

Their eyes met, one with pain in his eyes, the other with a smile.

"Is it difficult to answer?" Jiang Lingyue smiled and said indifferently, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore."

"Yueyue..."

Qi Junyi pursed his lips and said, "From the very beginning, you were different."

Since she wants to know, there is nothing to hide.

He said, "I decided to treat you well after the child left..."

"Is that so..." Jiang Lingyue murmured, "I understand."

It was different from the beginning.

What a great honor.

That's all that has been said.

Jiang Lingyue can figure out the rest on her own.

She began to think carefully about her past life.

No wonder Concubine Hui was like a mad dog at the beginning. She was virtuous and generous to other concubines, but when it came to Concubine Hui, she did nothing but scold her.

Occasionally, he would reward her with a few candies as a favor.

He used both kindness and force in an attempt to make her feel grateful.

At that time, Jiang Lingyue was puzzled. The emperor was obviously treating everyone equally, and the favor she received was not that noticeable. Why was she repeatedly targeted by the first-rank imperial concubine who held the phoenix seal?

So this is the root cause.

Concubine Hui is his cousin, and she definitely knows him better than anyone else. She is also the one he chose as his empress, so how could he hide his thoughts from her?

As for why he felt that she was different from the beginning, but never took any action to protect her.

Instead, he treated her hot and cold...

Maybe...you think she is not worthy?

After all, how could a concubine of low status and little influence be qualified to move the heart of a dignified emperor?

Because he felt that she was "different", she had a hard time in the harem and was repeatedly harassed by Concubine Hui.

And he sat back and watched.

It was not until she had a miscarriage and lost her child that the honorable Emperor decided to follow his heart and treat her well.

Thinking of what happened later, Jiang Lingyue almost wanted to laugh.

The almighty Emperor has always refused to admit his feelings.

When he finally made up his mind to reconcile with himself, decided to follow his own heart and condescend to treat a woman well, he was shocked to find that the other person's feelings were not for him either.

For any man who has been in a superior position for many years, this is a loud slap in the face.

You see, you find it unacceptable to be attracted to a weak woman.

But even such a weak woman has someone else in her heart.

It makes your struggles seem even more ridiculous.

Even later when she was poisoned by the immortal intoxication, he tried hard to prepare an antidote for her, but she was so angry at his eldest son that she vomited blood and died.

One by one, everything slipped out of his control.

Her existence was perhaps the only surprise in his smooth imperial career?

No wonder he has changed so much in this life.

The obsession is so deep that people become a little neurotic.

So that's how it is.

What a big joke.

After sorting out everything, Jiang Lingyue almost wanted to burst into laughter, but she found that she didn't even have the strength to laugh.

——He actually loves her.

She never realized that he loved her until her death.

If this is the truth, then she is a joke!

They are all so ridiculous.

"Yueyue..." Qi Junyi kept his eyes fixed on her. Seeing her expression change several times, he stretched out his hand with some worry, his eyes full of concern.

Her wrist was held, and the broad and strong palm transmitted his body temperature to her. Jiang Lingyue suddenly came back to her senses and looked up at him with a complicated look.

When their eyes met, Qi Junyi's knuckles trembled.

He prided himself on being well-read and knowledgeable, but for a moment he was unable to decipher the meaning of her eyes.

As if she didn't know him, there was even a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, but beyond that, there was something more complicated.

Wisps of sadness and melancholy stared at him deeply for a long time, and finally turned into a stiff smile.

Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips stiffly, wanting to say something, but she was too weak to even open her mouth.

She should have said something.

For example, she should thank him for letting her know that she was a joke in her previous life.

The affection she once showed was a joke.

Those collapses and despairs are also a joke.

It's all a joke.

But saying such words is to acknowledge the self who once humbly prayed for love.

...Does it still make sense?

Let the almighty Emperor know that she loved him too.

I loved him from the very beginning.

They could have loved each other, but his fickleness and concealment of everything made them drift apart.

He misunderstood her feelings.

It was his unbearable jealousy that caused him to hurt her feelings with his careless words.

She has completely given up.

Even died once.

Is there any point in letting him know that she loves him now?

Jiang Lingyue lowered her eyes and looked at the two people's intertwined hands.

A broad and powerful palm held her wrist tightly.

He probably really loved her.

At least she had never seen him treat anyone else so patiently.

She was extremely rebellious and repeatedly violated the rules by calling the emperor by his full name.

Ridicule him, laugh at him.

Any one of them is a crime punishable by death.

Far from being angry, he looked concerned, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

But it's too late.

Jiang Lingyue, who also loved him, is dead.

It's useless to say anything more.

Jiang Lingyue sniffed and said, "I'm tired. Let's go to bed early."

As she spoke, she tried to break free from the grip, but the force on her wrist did not loosen, but instead became even tighter.

Qi Junyi looked at her and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

It was a rare moment for her to lose her composure, so he waited patiently for her to calm down and face his feelings.

They always have to make things clear between them.

She could blame him for the stupid things he did, or she could continue to torment him for it.

He would wait for her to calm down and forgive him.

She could even reject his feelings directly.

No matter what, since he took the initiative to reveal his feelings, he was already prepared.

But she couldn't pretend nothing had happened after he opened his heart and told her all the unspeakable things.

"Yueyue..." He pinched her delicate wrist and said, "Escape won't solve the problem, and we can't keep staying in this stalemate."
