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

They talked for a long time, and the sky outside the hall gradually darkened.

It was time for dinner, but the two seemed unaware.

Jiang Lingyue was still sitting on his lap, digesting the news she had just learned.

In Qi Junyi's eyes, she was extremely well-behaved.

Compared to the initial coldness and defensiveness, the distance between them has gradually shortened during this period.

There is truth to the folk saying, 'Husband and wife fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed'.

At least, the girl no longer resists him now.

All the entanglements and troubles of his previous life and all the secrets he had concealed had been revealed.

All the missed opportunities and misunderstandings between them were revealed to each other without reservation.

Next, he should work hard to make up for the regrets of missing out and win back her heart.

Since she was moved once, she could always fall in love with him again.

Qi Junyi felt quite confident as his sweetheart just snuggled in his arms.

He stroked her long hair and called her name gently.

Jiang Lingyue nodded softly.

After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "In your previous life...how did you die?"

The hand on the shoulder paused noticeably.

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes in his arms, rested her chin on his chest, and looked up at him.

What catches your eye is his smooth jawline and slightly protruding Adam's apple.

She was a little tempted and waited for a few moments. Seeing that he didn't answer, she slid the hand on his chest silently upwards and pressed it on his Adam's apple.

"Tell me, didn't you say you wouldn't hide anything from me anymore? I want to know this now."

As he spoke, his fingers fiddled without any sense of measure.

"Don't be silly," Qi Junyi said, his throat slightly swallowed. He held her rebellious hand and said in a hoarse voice, "...died of illness."

Illness and death.

After he finished speaking, the fingertips that were originally trying to continue teasing trembled slightly. Jiang Lingyue sat up straight in his arms and straightened her expression. "How could this happen?"

Qi Junyi smiled: "Care about me?"

"Don't talk about other things!" Jiang Lingyue said with a dull face, "What's going on?"

He was in good health, so how could he die young due to illness?

Qi Junyi restrained his smile, looked at her deeply, and said slowly: "Being diligent in government affairs has drained your body."

Diligent in government affairs...

He had a very regular schedule, and it was a peaceful and prosperous time. The government had already established its own system, so there was no need for the emperor to worry all his heart and exhaust his body with hard work.

The girl in his arms was full of disbelief, staring at him with her beautiful almond eyes. Qi Junyi couldn't help but sigh softly, "Yueyue, you really don't know."

She should have guessed why he died young and prematurely.

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, an indescribable expression on her face, "Are you committing suicide for love?"

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall for a moment.

Qi Junyi stared at it and thought for a while before saying, "Don't count it."

If it was a suicide for love, he should have died with her on the day she died.

However, there is no one to take over the Dahan Empire, and even if he has gone mad, he cannot let go of the burden on his shoulders.

So, he lived alone for ten years.

Qi Junyi took a deep breath and said, "At the beginning, I lost my beloved and was so grief-stricken that it shortened my lifespan. I also felt that life was too painful and wanted to go with you."

He twitched his lips and forced a smile, "But I can't let go of the Great Han River and Mountains."

People living in this world have responsibilities. They are not children, so they cannot do whatever they want.

"I have to train a good enough crown prince for Dahan before I die... I have been doing this for those ten years."

Ten years is actually not enough to train a crown prince.

But he couldn't wait any longer.

After doing everything he could and making sure he could probably do it again, he couldn't wait any longer.

So, he didn't actually die of illness.

To be precise, it was suicide.

...He deceived her again.

The hand on her shoulder tightened, and Jiang Lingyue fell into his arms again.

His strong heartbeat was beside my ears, and his low, slightly hoarse voice rang out above my head, "Yueyue, will you blame me..."

"No!" Jiang Lingyue immediately retorted, "No matter how incompetent I am, I won't be so reckless."

Once upon a time, what moved her heart was the king who was always calm and composed, and was gentle and generous to his people.

If he really disregarded everything and died with her, Jiang Lingyue would feel chilled to the bone.

How could she dare to relax and stay by the side of such a madman who was so reckless and could even give up the important task of the world?

"That's good," Qi Junyi kissed her hair and whispered, "Then can you promise me that you will never be hard on your body in this life?"

In her previous life, she deliberately opened the palace gates and invited those concubines in, which allowed the virtuous concubine to find an opportunity and was angered to death by the eldest prince.

He slaughtered everyone, but still couldn't get rid of his hatred.

During the ten years I lived alone in the world, I even hated her.

why!

He told her to have less contact with the concubines in the harem and had already begun to dismiss those women.

Why did she let them in!

Her health was clearly getting better, but just as he was planning their future day and night, she passed away in a way that could be called revenge.

He was caught off guard and in excruciating pain.

Thinking of the ten years when he was like a walking corpse, Qi Junyi's eyes turned bloodshot.

Jiang Lingyue was lying in his arms and didn't see it.

When she heard his question, she immediately said, "Of course, I never have any hard time with my body."

"...Is that so?" Qi Junyi couldn't help but ask, "During the Lantern Festival that day, you said you weren't feeling well and didn't want to go to Taiji Hall with me, but you opened the palace gates wide and let the concubines into Changyue Hall."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly pried open her hands that were around her waist and moved away from his legs.

Qi Junyi did not stop her. He just looked at her quietly. After she stood up, he held her wrist.

His skin was cold and pale, his palms were broad, and his bony fingers gently circled her wrist bones, like tightly wrapped vines.

They grow together and cannot be separated.

Jiang Lingyue lowered her eyes and looked at their intertwined hands. Her lips moved, "Because, I want to see Jiang Lingxin."

Perhaps this person really solved a lot of my confusion today, and he was willing to tell me everything he knew.

Or maybe it was because she could truly feel his unreserved passion, which made her no longer the one who looked up to him humbly in the relationship.

Moreover, almost everything in the previous life has been analyzed.

In short, Jiang Lingyue didn't feel that uncomfortable when she mentioned again those memories that she once thought were too embarrassing to be sealed away forever.

I don’t even feel embarrassed to talk about it.
