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

Jiang Lingyue was stunned, wondering if she was really drunk and had hallucinations.

She blinked and spoke with difficulty, "Who...is your master?"

Xie Mo smiled slightly and did not answer, only saying, "You will know when you see it."

In his opinion, his Majesty is rich and powerful, holds the world in his hands, and is handsome and elegant like jade.

Countless ladies from prominent families were looking forward to his attention.

To be favored by such a man is like a blessing from heaven.

There is no woman in the world who would be willing to refuse.

Of course, the same is true for Jiang Lingyue.

Even though her wedding is approaching.

But between Chen Ziwei and the current emperor, even a fool knows how to choose.

In terms of power, status, talent, and even appearance.

There is no comparison.

But when Jiang Lingyue heard his riddle, her expression turned a little ugly.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Can I not go?"

"..." Xie Mo's smile froze on his face. His originally straight shoulders and neck bowed slightly and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. I will follow your orders."

This is obvious.

The emperor wants to see her.

The kind that cannot be refused.

Jiang Lingyue had no other choice.

This was the first time they had encountered such a thing, and both the master and the servant were at a loss as to what to do.

After taking a deep breath, she slowly said, "Lead the way."

…………

The emperor is in the front yard.

After the banquet, he did not return to the palace, but decided to rest for a while in the marquis's mansion.

The old marquis was so happy that he specially set up a courtyard.

The emperor needs to rest, and he has countless guards, both openly and secretly, to protect him.

Within a hundred feet, it was eerily quiet, and no one or anything dared to approach.

Jiang Lingyue was brought in by Xie Mo himself, and along the way, they didn't even see a bird.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xie Mo stopped and raised his arm, saying, "Please come in."

He didn't plan to go in and stopped Jinshu.

Jiang Lingyue's heart was beating in her throat.

There is no way to retreat, so we can only move forward.

The garden is large, but there aren't many flowers.

A tung tree as thick as half an arm, with lush branches and leaves.

There was a small square table under the tree with a chessboard on it. Next to the chessboard was a pot of steaming tea.

The emperor, dressed in a black dragon robe, sat at the table, twirling chess pieces in his hands, his eyes focused on the chessboard.

As if he heard footsteps, he placed a piece down and turned his head to look over here.

The girl was wearing a pink gauze dress, revealing a large area of ​​porcelain-white skin on her chest, which looked delicate and charming.

At this moment, she lifted her skirt and walked into the yard.

As the gate behind her slowly closed, her body visibly stiffened.

The whole person froze in place, feeling awkward and panicked.

Just saw him this morning.

However, at that time he could look at her freely, while she lowered her head and eyes, standing beside her fiancé, not daring to look up and look directly at the emperor.

At this moment, he can still look at her unscrupulously.

And she no longer had the charming and lovely look beside her fiancé, and the lively look in her eyes also disappeared.

Like a frightened elk caught in a hunter's trap.

Small poor.

Thinking of the lip balm he saw on Chen Ziwei's chin that morning, Qi Junyi felt an unfamiliar desire to destroy.

Weird and crazy.

It is different from the desire to kill that is ignited when dealing with ministers who have committed heinous crimes.

His desire to destroy did not want her life.

He just wanted to strangle her and tie her up.

Tied to the side, below, anywhere within reach.

Anywhere is fine.

He wanted to extinguish the light in her eyes that was born because of other men bit by bit.

Such a strange desire is so strong that it is frightening.

It was like a treasure that belonged to him alone, but it was taken away by someone else before he could discover it.

He had to get it back at all costs.

Under his gaze, Jiang Lingyue took stiff steps and walked towards him.

It was a distance that was neither long nor short, and she walked for a long time. When she got closer, the darkness in Qi Junyi's eyes had already disappeared.

Jiang Lingyue's knees went weak and she was about to kowtow, but he interrupted her.

"No need to be so polite," he pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down."

His face was calm and his tone was extremely calm.

An unfathomable sense of majesty comes towards you.

Jiang Lingyue's breathing paused slightly, and she slowly sat down, pinching the hem of her skirt.

Qi Junyi raised his hand, took a porcelain cup and placed it in front of her, then held the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.

He stopped the series of actions and when he looked up again, he saw a thin layer of sweat on the forehead of the girl opposite him.

The whole person was stiff with nervousness.

Qi Junyi's eyes softened for a moment, and he said, "Don't be nervous. I summoned you here because I want to talk to you."

"Yes," Jiang Lingyue lowered her eyebrows and eyes, not daring to say a single extra word, and only said, "Your Majesty, please speak."

His voice trembled.

The tension is palpable.

Qi Junyi shook his head gently, "You are too nervous. Drink some tea first and calm down before we talk."

Jiang Lingyue had no choice but to pick up the exquisite small porcelain cup with both hands and drink up the tea.

He looks really well behaved.

Qi Junyi smiled and raised his arm to refill her cup. This time, he instructed, "Heat it carefully."

Jiang Lingyue nodded awkwardly and continued to drink it all.

The porcelain cup is small, and the tea inside is not enough for a sip. It will cool down after a while and is not hot.

In this way, he drank three cups in a row.

Qi Junyi put down the teapot and said, "Don't drink too much tea."

Jiang Lingyue was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I understand."

The courtyard fell silent for a moment.

The girl opposite sat with her hands and feet restrained, never looking up, her long neck lowered.

It was so delicate that he could hold it in one hand.

Unable to withstand a single blow.

Qi Junyi's eyes fell on it for a long time, and his lips moved, "Are you willing to enter the palace?"

Let’s get straight to the point.

Not a word of nonsense.

State your purpose directly.

Jiang Lingyue's heart skipped a beat and she looked up suddenly.

Just facing the emperor's deep eyes.

She quickly lowered her eyes to avoid the captivating gaze, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I'm already engaged, so I won't..."

"If you haven't gotten married yet, it doesn't count,"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the emperor opposite her. "It's just a marriage contract. I don't mind it. You don't have to take it to heart."

He paused and lowered his voice, "I only ask you if you are willing to enter the palace."

What seemed like a world-shaking event to her could be resolved with just one sentence in front of him.

She doesn't have to consider any external factors.

Just answer this question.

Willing, or unwilling.

Jiang Lingyue knew she couldn't escape, so without hesitation, she knelt down with a plop, touching her forehead to the ground, and said, "Your Highness, I don't want to."

She knelt very straight.

There was still a hint of panic in his voice, but the words came out cleanly and clearly.

Qi Junyi clenched his fist and almost crushed the ring.

He looked steadily at the girl kneeling on the ground and said, "Look up."

Jiang Lingyue's back stiffened and she slowly raised her head.

Because of fear and anxiety, her eyes were wet and red at the corners, as if she could cry at any time.

The upturned nose was slightly red.

Qi Junyi stood up, walked in front of her and slowly squatted down.

Their eyes met, and he said, "Give me a reason."

They were very close.
