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

Because of her death?

Only after her death and complete disappearance from the world did he realize how much he loved her?

Or, has he actually been interested in her for a long time?

So, after she died,...what happened to him?

Jiang Lingyue was so full of questions that she almost asked them directly.

Fortunately, I realized that she had not yet admitted that she was also reborn. Asking this question like this would be like confessing it herself.

She endured it again and again, barely swallowing her strong curiosity and when she raised her eyes, she met the emperor's gentle and watery eyes.

...It can really drown people.

As if he could guess what she was thinking, Qi Junyi's eyes curved and he smiled, "Yueyue, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

If his concubines heard such a gentle and coaxing tone, they would probably be half melted.

It’s a pity that she heard it all.

Jiang Lingyue pondered calmly, and then, under his expectant gaze, she said, "What was the final outcome of our 'previous life love'?"

"..." Qi Junyi fell silent for a moment, his pair of radiant eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at her intently.

Jiang Lingyue thought he didn't understand what she meant, so she pointed to the storybook he had thrown aside and said, "Just like the storybook I read, every story has an ending. In our previous life..."

"Not so good." Qi Junyi tightened his grip on her waist and pursed his lips as he said, "It's my fault. I know you're stubborn and sick, and I'm much older than you, but I didn't know how to give in."

What is the love between men and women like?

Having lived two lives, Qi Junyi is not an old hand in the love field, but he does have some experience.

His understanding of loving someone means that he is destined to be unable to remain calm in front of the other person and become completely different from himself.

Especially for someone like him who rarely has any emotional ups and downs, he seems to come alive in front of his beloved girl.

My heart rises and falls with her words.

I will feel sour, jealous, and angry.

Thinking of those crazy past, he pursed his lips and said slowly: "You are also very capable. Apart from you, no one else in the world can torment me like that."

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly, lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms carefully.

Such a small creature, trapped in his arms, with its thin and slender body, looks pitiful and cute.

On the bed, he was holding back, fearing that if he used too much force he would crush the person.

But why is it so tiring?

He just wanted to hold his heart in front of her, but she was still stubborn with him and refused to admit that she also had memories of her past life.

After all, he still felt a little upset. Qi Junyi's eyes gradually dimmed and he looked at her quietly.

Jiang Lingyue suddenly became alert, "Your Majesty..."

"Call me Hengzhi," Qi Junyi interrupted her and said calmly, "regardless of whether you have any memories of your past life or not, from now on you must call me Hengzhi and never call yourself a concubine."

"Yueyue, in my past and present lives, I have never thought of being your king or your subject."

These words are truly comparable to those of a love saint.

Jiang Lingyue's expression was hard to describe.

She thought about it and didn't continue to stalemate with him. She just said, "Then Hengzhi, can you let me go?"

Although no one has ever called me by my given name, it doesn't sound strange to me.

Qi Junyi was in a good mood, and the resentment he had just felt disappeared in an instant.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is it hurting you?" He loosened his arm and then touched her lower back caringly, "Let me rub it for you."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She said with a dull face, "My back was against the tree trunk, and it hurt me."

"Did I use too much force just now?" His Majesty the Emperor had completely lost all his intelligence and wisdom at this moment. He frowned and released the hand that was restraining her, and was about to touch her back directly.

"It's okay," Jiang Lingyue hurriedly stopped him and said, "Just let me out."

How could Qi Junyi not understand what she meant?

He stopped, looked at her intently, and moved sideways to make room for her.

Jiang Lingyue immediately stepped back from under his arms, and only took a deep breath after she had taken a few steps away, away from the oppressive feeling.

The look of escaping death made Qi Junyi's eyes darken.

He leaned against the tree trunk, staring at her motionlessly.

It was the same in his previous life. When he was willing to acknowledge his feelings and decided to live a good life with her, he found that the girl he loved was so resistant to his approach.

At first, he didn't know why, until he later learned from Shen about her relationship with Chen Ziwei before she entered the palace, and then he felt the truth was revealed.

How could he tolerate such a fact with his pride?

But her physical condition made him afraid to even question her coldly.

In her previous life, she had suffered enough from having to keep everything in her heart and hiding her jealousy. This time, Qi Junyi leaned against the tree trunk, looked at her quietly for a long time, and chose to speak directly.

He said: "Why?"

Jiang Lingyue turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"Why are you so reluctant to let me get close?" Qi Junyi smiled at her. "Is it because you hate me and resist my approach, or is it something else?"

"Nothing..."

"Tell me the truth!" Qi Junyi stood up straight, his tone serious, "Why do you resist like that every time I get close to you?"

Of course it’s because my body rejects it and my heart doesn’t want to do it.

Because when I loved you with all my heart and all my eyes were filled with you, this heart was hurt. It was afraid of pain, so it consciously avoided the danger that would hurt it.

Jiang Lingyue's experiences from childhood to adulthood have always made her feel that she is a cold-blooded person.

Especially after her grandmother died, her uncle and aunt, who had doted on her, changed their attitude towards her overnight.

This kind of fickleness in human nature made Jiang Lingyue realize that most people in this world are untrustworthy.

Later, when her cousin, who had been betrothed to her since childhood, married another noblewoman, it only made her more determined in this idea.

Affection is very precious to Jiang Lingyue. She gets little and gives even less.

No matter who it is, the amount of love she gives is limited.

This is the case with Chen Ziwei.

He is gentle, handsome, has a good family background, and has a good temper. He is almost perfect. Jiang Lingyue regards him as her life-saving straw.

But even so, she did not trust wholeheartedly that he would rescue her from the Jiang family.

After all, although Chen Ziwei is young and promising, it is not his turn to be the head of the Chen family yet. Even if he can decide on the choice of his future wife and let the Chen family propose marriage, the Jiang family must agree.

There will be many variables in this process.

Everything that happened later proved that her pessimism was not wrong.

Without complete trust, she did not feel completely desperate, and she prepared a way out for herself.

Enter the palace to run for election.
