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

Jiang Lingyue worked so hard until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, and she was already starving before dinner.

These days, the two of them basically had breakfast and dinner together. Jiang Lingyue only pretended to be uneasy and awkward in the first two days, but now she was able to dine in front of him with ease and no longer pretended to be nervous.

After finishing a bowl of rice, she was about to order another one with a great appetite, but before she could give the order, she heard the person next to her say, "It's too late, don't eat too much, or you'll have indigestion."

He set an example by himself and put down his chopsticks after he finished speaking.

Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, he went to hold her hand and said softly, "Be obedient. Indigestion will hurt your stomach."

Going to bed directly after a meal is definitely not a healthy way to stay healthy.

Jiang Lingyue understood that what he said made sense, but she felt a little depressed that even her eating habits were restricted.

She found that the person in front of her had indeed changed a lot, and she would take the trouble to remind him even for such trivial matters as the number of bowls of rice he had.

And he had to coax her in such a child-like tone, which really gave me goosebumps.

Trying her best to ignore his tone, Jiang Lingyue nodded and stood up, and the palace maids helped her wash up.

In the inner room, the messy bed was neatly made, and the bedding was replaced with a new set. The two of them lay on the bed again.

She was so tired that she thought she could fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow, but when he held her in his arms, she was reflexively startled.

This was a subconscious reaction. She couldn't completely relax because he was around, and if he made any movement, she would wake up in shock.

Qi Junyi put his hands on her shoulders, patted them gently, and said helplessly, "It's been so many days, why haven't you gotten used to it yet?"

...What are you used to?

Jiang Lingyue almost wanted to ask him if she was used to falling asleep in his arms?

He is the ruler of the world and has three thousand beauties in his harem. How could she get used to this?

In her previous life, when she was diagnosed with a strange poison, he stayed by her side day and night. She was deeply moved at that time, but after a while, she got used to it and felt that they were like an ordinary loving couple in the world, and she got used to his company.

But what does that habit bring?

It was Jiang Lingxin's entry into the palace.

The bloody lesson was still before her eyes, and the indescribable pain almost penetrated into her bones. She dared not forget it at any time, so how could she dare to get used to it?

Qi Junyi didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that she was not sleepy, he put his hand on her shoulder and said with a smile, "Yueyue, if you still don't want to sleep, then talk to me."

The sound of "Yueyue" made Jiang Lingyue blink, "What does your Majesty want to say?"

Her voice was no longer as soft as usual, but rather a little hoarse, which made Qi Junyi look down at her and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

Jiang Lingyue shook her head.

"So..." He smiled, "That means you're tired."

“…” Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips, pretending that she didn’t understand what he meant.

But the tips of her ears turned red.

Qi Junyi put his lips on hers and kissed her, then said vaguely, "Do you know why the Jiang family suddenly asked to see you?"

She just said that the Jiang family handed in a jade token requesting a meeting.

Thinking of the fate of the Jiang family members in the previous life, Jiang Lingyue's whole body stiffened.

She felt uncomfortable just because her family was mentioned. Qi Junyi gathered his arms and held her tighter, saying softly, "Only female relatives can enter the harem. It's better not to see Yueyue."

The second son of the Jiang family has not yet married, and the only female relatives who can enter the palace are his stepmother Shen and his eldest sister-in-law Zhang.

And these two...

Jiang Lingyue nodded gently, "I will obey your majesty."

"So obedient?" Qi Junyi laughed, "Why don't you ask me why I don't allow you to see them?"

Jiang Lingyue said: "Your Majesty naturally has his own reasons for doing things, and I dare not ask any more questions."

What a docile girl she is, anyone would praise her for being considerate, but the people around her didn't know what they were thinking, and their expressions were slightly restrained.

After a long pause, he said calmly, "I was about to take action against the Shen family, and I just let some of the signs out. Jiang Shao probably thought it was because of you, so he came to you to plead for mercy."

Prepare to attack the Shen family...

...Because of her?

Jiang Lingyue heard every word clearly, but she was a little dazed. Before she could say anything, she heard him say, "Don't meet them. The Shen family's ancestral home is in Lingnan. That area is densely forested and full of miasma and poisonous things. It's not surprising that the Shen family has some strange things in their hands."

Jiang Lingyue certainly knew her stepmother's background. The Shen family was a prominent local family in Lingnan. They had been officials for generations and only moved to the capital more than twenty years ago. Although their roots were not deep, the three members of the Shen family were all officials, making them a prominent family in the capital.

It’s just… nothing strange or weird is surprising.

What does it mean to be rich in poisons?

Jiang Lingyue's heart was pounding. "You mean, the Shen family... can use poison?"

"That's right," Qi Junyi said, "In recent years, several important officials have died under strange circumstances. The Imperial Dragon Guards discovered that the Shen family was behind this. I will not tolerate such a sinister plot."

All under heaven belongs to the king. If the king of a country cannot tolerate them, then the Shen family will definitely have no way to survive.

Jiang Lingyue recalled that in her previous life, the Shen family seemed to have suffered a genocide, but that was three years later. At that time, she was weak and bedridden, and she was not close to the Shen family. She just heard about it and didn't take it to heart.

But she vaguely remembered that it seemed that the second master of the Shen family who was sent out was corrupt and accepted bribes, which affected the family.

Now, hearing that the Shen family would poison political enemies in the court, I am a little shocked.

Is this what happened after she died?

So this person was dealt with in advance after he was reborn?

"And the Jiang family..."

Jiang Lingyue was still surprised that the Shen family would fall so early in this life. When she heard him mention the Jiang family again, she subconsciously raised her face.

Qi Junyi paused, looking down at the girl in his arms, who was looking up at him with her little face raised. His eyes softened, and he lowered his head to place a kiss on her forehead. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Lingyue reached out and grasped his collar, whispering, "Do you know?"

"What do you know?" He smiled. "Do you know that Jiang Shao's household management is lax, allowing his concubine to treat his eldest daughter, left by his first wife, coldly? Or do you know that your two brothers don't care about the plight of you, their biological sister? The eldest daughter of the great general's mansion lives a life worse than a humble servant?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a while, "Actually, Second Brother treats me very well."

Her voice became softer and softer, but every word she spoke reached Qi Junyi's ears. His smile disappeared and his expression became dull.

"How good is it?" He sighed softly. "So good that even when Shen wanted to marry you off to that dandy, he wouldn't dare ask Jiang Shao for a favor for you?"

Her second brother simply treated her with a better attitude than the rest of her indifferent family members, and the girl thought he was a very nice person.

Qi Junyi felt sour and soft in his heart, with a deep feeling of pity and a slight pain.

That's heartache.

I feel sorry for the girl in my arms, who has lived in such an environment for seventeen years.
