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

"Your words are like a lump in my throat that I can't let go... I want to meet Jiang Lingxin."

She said calmly, "But you never let me have contact with the concubines in the harem, nor do you allow them to disturb me on weekdays. Only during festivals are you allowed to come to Changyue Palace to kowtow and pay my respects to me."

"On the Lantern Festival, I thought she was here too..."

So she ordered the palace gates to be opened and the concubines to come in.

For no other reason, she just wanted to see Jiang Lingxin.

looks like?

How similar are they?

At that time, she was stuck in a dead end and just wanted to figure out the problem.

But Jiang Lingxin didn't come.

The hand on his wrist suddenly tightened, and the man in front of him turned pale without him noticing.

Jiang Lingyue looked straight at him and continued speaking.

"Those concubines whispered, saying that you love us sisters equally and are reluctant to treat any of us unfairly, so you let us meet without a meeting, so that no one will feel wronged. Naturally, you won't let Jiang Lingxin come to pay her respects to me..."

"That's not the case!" Qi Junyi stood up and tried to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Lingyue.

"Yes, I know now that it's not what they said, but that's what I thought at the time," she said in a very calm tone, "...I'm very sad."

"Jiang Lingxin didn't come, and I lost interest in entertaining the concubines. I asked Jin Yu and Jin Shu to send them away. Your eldest prince probably thought I was too arrogant. He ignored Concubine Xian's attempts to stop him and jumped out, pointing his finger at me and scolding me."

"He cursed a lot. I only remember him saying that we Jiang sisters were evil concubines like Feiyan and Hede, who bewitched the emperor, brought chaos to the harem, and damaged our fortune. We deserved to never have children..."

"...You know, children are my Achilles' heel."

Having said this, she paused and lowered her voice, "I really liked you at that time, so Jiang Lingxin's existence was also the most unbearable thorn in my heart..."

"...The eldest prince's words were like a sharp knife, piercing my most vulnerable spot. I am so useless, I was angered to death by a young boy."

He was already poisoned, and although the medicine delayed the symptoms, the poison had already penetrated deep into his bones, and he was still very weak.

He was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath and died of vomiting blood.

The Imperial Concubine, who was the head of the Four Concubines and to whom even Concubine Hui, who held the Phoenix Seal and was equal to the Empress Dowager, had to kowtow and pay her respects, died so hastily.

Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips and said, "My shame will surely be recorded in history books."

…………

Qi Junyi, who was originally in heartache, felt the pain in his chest ease a little after hearing her words.

He closed his eyes, pulled her into his arms, and coaxed her, "How can it be shameful? It's the Concubine Xian and the First Prince who deserve to die. They were worried that your health would be good and your status would be in jeopardy if you gave birth to an heir, so they deliberately committed insubordination in order to seize the position of crown prince, using all kinds of means.

"It is they who are guilty of unforgivable crimes, and you who are virtuous and generous. It is you who are the queen whom they plotted against. History books will only record how much I love you, and will not bring shame upon you."

Emperor and Empress.

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes from his embrace, her eyes sparkling, "What is my posthumous title?"

“…Don’t be curious about this.”

Qi Junyi didn't want to think about such an unlucky thing. He held the girl tightly in his arms and said, "You only need to know that you are my only queen. History books will only record you as my beloved girl."

"Everyone who hurt you, including me, has paid the price. I didn't let any of them go."

As long as it was someone who schemed against her and hurt her, it didn't matter who it was.

No matter if it was his foreign family, the Lu family, or his cousin's family who was closest to him by blood, all of them had to pay for his girl's life.

Four-year-olds don't say those words.

The virtuous concubine probably didn't have the courage to instigate the prince to insult the noble concubine.

Qi Junyi, who had lost his mind, didn't even bother to check whether Prince Yu's Mansion had taken action behind the scenes.

In such a case, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

As long as they are vested interests, no matter how innocent they appear, they deserve to die in his eyes.

Jiang Lingyue was frightened when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, her vision suddenly went dark and her lips were blocked by him.

The man's refreshing breath approached, enveloping her completely. Rarely, she did not feel the familiar feeling of rejection in her heart.

He was stunned for just a moment, then quickly let it go.

The obedience shown by the girl in his arms made Qi Junyi's breathing slow down slightly, and soon, the hand around her waist tightened.

"Yueyue,"

Jiang Lingyue was a little dazed when a hoarse male voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

He said, "I'm sorry."

I didn't see your feelings early on, and I spoke without thinking, which hurt your heart.

You have to endure pain and grievances that you shouldn't have to endure.

……sorry.

Jiang Lingyue has heard him say these three words many times in this life.

Every time before, she was not moved at all, and even felt it was ridiculous.

But this time, she felt an inexplicable soreness in her nose and was almost about to cry.

There was a slight throbbing in her heart, but it was not something she could ignore.

This feels familiar, and dangerous.

Jiang Lingyue blinked quickly and held back the tears.

She gathered herself, pushed away the embrace of the man in front of her, and said, "Now that we've come to this, you should listen to me."

The hall was dark, but it was obvious that the emperor had good eyesight and could see her red eyes.

He was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch her eyelids and hummed softly, "You say."

Jiang Lingyue turned her face away, dodging his hand, took a deep breath, and said, "According to you, in past lives and present lives, you were jealous and resentful because of what happened between me and Chen Ziwei, and that's why you spoke without thinking."

"In my previous life, you were concerned about my health and never brought it up. It wasn't until this life that I realized you already knew about it and that you cared so much about it. Since that's the case, I want to live a peaceful life, so I have to make it clear to you once and for all."

As she spoke, Jiang Lingyue looked up at the man in front of her. In the darkness, she couldn't see his eyes, but she vaguely knew that he was also looking at her, quietly waiting for her next words.

After a few pauses, she continued, "Back then, out of helplessness, I considered Chen Ziwei my only lifeline. He and I had indeed pledged our lives together, and we were even discussing marriage."

"...I've told you every detail, everything I need to say and explain. Those things happened before you, just like the mistakes you made. It's too late for me to regret now, and I'm powerless to change them."

"It's a done deal. If you still can't get over it, why not..."

"I can handle it." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Junyi in a cold voice.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on the lips of the girl in front of him.

The darkness served as a cover, completely obscuring the darkness in his eyes.

After a few moments of silence, he promised, "I can tell what's more important. As long as you have no interest in him, I won't pursue your past with him, whether it's for you or for him."

"Well then," Jiang Lingyue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "From now on, don't use 'jealousy' as an excuse to make trouble and keep harping on the past. I will also put those things from my past life behind us and we won't talk about them anymore."

After two lifetimes, this was the first time she had such an open and frank heart-to-heart conversation with him.

Even when mentioning Chen Ziwei, he was still frank, confident and fearless, without any of the timidity and helplessness he had before.

Sure enough, confidence is fueled by blatant love.

He indulged her to the point of lawlessness, letting her know how important she was.

She also learned to poke her head out of the hedgehog shell.

Compared to the time when they were whispering to each other in bed, the distance between them now seemed closer.

Qi Junyi suppressed the burning sensation in his heart and held the person tightly in his arms.

"I'll do whatever you say," he said hoarsely, "but Yueyue, you have to try to give me more confidence, okay?"

At least let him feel that she has him in her heart.

Even once.

He will also have the confidence to completely let go of her past relationship.
