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

Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue reached out and tugged at the corner of the clothes of the person next to her.

"Your Majesty..." She tentatively took his hand, placed it on her face, and said seriously, "I really didn't mean to hide from you on purpose."

She claimed that she was very sincere in her coaxing, but Qi Junyi was almost laughed out of anger.

Did this girl know that if it wasn't intentional, then her body was subconsciously resisting his approach?

Did she really think that this would be more pleasing than deliberately avoiding him?

His fingertips touched the girl's tender cheek. The slightly cool touch made his fingertips pause. He slowly opened his closed eyes and looked over.

She was very close, and her pair of bright almond-shaped eyes looked at him as if she wanted to look straight into his heart.

The familiar tingling sensation spread throughout my body, accompanied by a sour and astringent feeling.

This was not a pleasant feeling. Qi Junyi frowned slightly, suppressing the urge to hug the person in his arms. He said calmly, "What else? Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"..." Jiang Lingyue was silent for a few breaths and looked at his face cautiously.

Naturally, there is no clue...

She pursed her lips and whispered, "Are you angry because you saw me walking with Master Chen?"

Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "There were so many people there at the time that I nearly fell a few times due to the crowd. In a hurry, I had no choice but to move closer to him. Apart from that, there were no other disputes."

No other entanglements...

"That's it..."

Qi Junyi nodded gently, his tone very gentle, but the fingertips that were touching her cheek suddenly grasped her jaw and turned the little face that suited his taste in every way towards her.

He looked into her eyes without blinking and asked the question that he had endured for two lifetimes.

"Why don't you tell me how you got along during those two years?" He smiled suddenly. "Don't tell me, I'm really curious."

The smile didn't even reach his eyes, and there was even a hint of coldness.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyue's eyelashes trembled, her mind raced, and she quickly said, "Don't believe Shen's slander. There is nothing innocent between me and Master Chen. There is no question of how we should get along."

"Tell the truth!" He exerted force on his jaw, his face darkening. "Since I've asked, I just want to hear the truth."

In his previous life, when Qi Junyi heard those malicious slanders from Shen, he did not believe them too much. He just thought that the other party was not willing to repent and was still trying to harm others even when death was imminent.

After asking the Dragon Guards to investigate, they learned that the little girl actually had a lover before entering the palace, but was forced to separate due to the obstruction of her stepmother at home.

At that moment, unprecedented rage almost burst through his head.

What followed was a murderous intent.

He wanted to cut Chen Ziwei into pieces!

Even when facing a criminal official who had committed many crimes, he had never had such a strong desire to kill him.

He struggled for so long and finally compromised with himself. It turned out that the treasure he cherished and carefully protected in his arms had been spied on by others a long time ago.

They left the supervision of their adults and lived in farms outside the capital.

We face each other day and night, meet every day, and travel hand in hand.

They went on outings, boat trips on the lake, and made wine together. There were wine jars buried by them in many places throughout the farm.

…They also went to the Lantern Festival.

These are only what the Dragon Guards can find out, and as for those details that cannot be found out, who knows how good their relationship is.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was born noble and had everything going his way, tasted jealousy for the first time.

Every time he thought about it, his heart ached and his whole body felt so sore that it was almost unbearable.

But at that time she had already been poisoned and was bedridden.

No matter how depressed he was, he could only suppress it.

She didn't dare to get angry, didn't dare to ask, and even had to persuade herself to suppress the murderous intent towards Chen Ziwei.

And now, after a lifetime, he finally asked this question that had been bothering him.

Qi Junyi took a deep breath and tried his best to soften his tone.

"Those were things that happened before you entered the palace. Just tell me. I promise I won't care no matter what you say." He stared into her eyes, fearing she might still have reservations. He added, "If you dare to lie or conceal anything, I don't know what I will think."

The things that were worth her lying to conceal were definitely not the so-called "starting from emotion and ending with etiquette".

And unknown speculation is the most bottomless.

Jiang Lingyue certainly understood this. Looking at the completely gloomy face of the man in front of her, she was surprised to find that he minded Chen Ziwei's existence more than she had imagined.

It's true that the emperor's majesty cannot be insulted, but that was just an incident that happened before he entered the palace. It wasn't serious at all, but it made him care so much that he still brooded over it and couldn't let it go.

If she were the queen, it would be acceptable.

But she was just one of his concubines, at most a favored concubine.

Is it really worth him caring so much?

...Looking at his aggressive look, it seems like he is so jealous that he has lost his mind.

This thought flashed through Jiang Lingyue's mind, and her breathing stopped.

"Your Majesty, please understand." She swallowed hard, "The relationship between me and Chen Ziwei is definitely not as dirty as Shen said."

"During the two years at the farm, we did run into each other from time to time, but we were always accompanied by maids and servants, and we never overstepped the bounds of courtesy."

At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Although I've discussed marriage with him, it's only to leave the Jiang family, and there's no romance involved."

The words were sincere and sounded quite plausible.

Qi Junyi listened quietly and laughed, "So, Yueyue means that you don't like him, but you have thought about marrying him, right?"

"I am here for..."

Jiang Lingyue opened her mouth to explain, but her lips were pressed by warm fingertips.

"I know you're doing all this to escape the Jiang family," he said, a tone that didn't quite taunt him. "What about him? The eldest son of the Chen family is using his marriage to do a good deed, just to save you from suffering?"

After he finished speaking, the carriage fell into silence.

After a long while, Jiang Lingyue spoke with difficulty: "Master Chen may have felt sorry for me and felt sympathy for me."

…………

After a rare moment of choking, Qi Junyi was actually so angry that he laughed.

He gritted his teeth and smiled, "Then tell me again, why can I always find him in the crowd at a glance tonight?"

How could he not notice that the girl next to him was constantly looking at other men in the crowd?

We really are in sync, aren't we?

It was like a pair of lovers who were forced to be separated forever, and he became the villain who broke up the couple.

Under the aggressive questioning, Jiang Lingyue was so embarrassed that she tried her best to explain herself.

"I didn't look for him, it was just a coincidence."

She felt that she was really wronged. Not to mention that she had decided to let go of the past since she entered the palace, even if she still had feelings for Chen Ziwei, it was impossible for her to flirt with his close ministers in front of the emperor!
