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

That night.

After dinner and a bath, the two of them lay down on the couch side by side.

Jiang Lingyue hugged the quilt, turned sideways and prepared to go to sleep, when someone behind her held her shoulders.

"Yueyue, let's talk for a while,"

Feeling her stiffness, Qi Junyi gently rubbed his knuckles together and said softly, "It's been so many days, are you planning to keep on being in this stalemate with me?"

That day, he suddenly confessed and she was completely unprepared. Her first reaction was to escape and deny, which was understandable.

He never wanted to force her, and was willing to give her time to adapt and think seriously.

Whether it's weighing the pros and cons, or anything else.

They always have to make things clear between them.

You can't keep ignoring him.

He was already immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, while she was still an outsider, watching calmly.

How can this work?

Jiang Lingyue, with her back to him, closed her eyes gently.

coming.

Finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

She had anticipated this day, and even felt that the Emperor was indeed very good at cultivating his energy and was very patient.

It actually gave her so much time to sort out the chaotic emotions in her heart.

Now she was no longer caught off guard as she had been that day. Her heart was calm and she let the hand on her shoulder turn her around.

Her lack of resistance made Qi Junyi's eyes light up. He stretched out his arm, passed it through the back of her neck, and embraced her in his arms.

For several days, the girl refused to let him hug her.

As soon as the warm and soft beauty was in his arms, Qi Junyi could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and kissed her slightly drooping eyelids.

"Good girl," he kissed softly, his voice a little hoarse, and asked in a gentle voice, "I've been tormenting you for so many days, are you feeling better now..."

Warm lips pressed against hers, and the familiar cold wood fragrance filled her nostrils, causing Jiang Lingyue's eyelids to tremble slightly.

She raised her hand to his chest and pushed gently.

Qi Junyi retreated a little following her strength, lowered his eyes to look at her, and said with tenderness, "Now Yueyue, are you willing to talk about what you are dissatisfied with about me in your previous life?"

He still wanted to know whether there were any other misunderstandings between them besides cutting off the musk deer.

Those misunderstandings that he was unaware of.

But Jiang Lingyue just found it funny.

Even when she was happiest and trusted him the most, she couldn't express the grievances in her heart without reservation, let alone now when they were separated by life and death?

The disparity in status between them is unequal in itself.

Why did he always want her to confide in him?

If it were in the past, Jiang Lingyue would have just said perfunctorily, "I am so frightened that I dare not express dissatisfaction with Your Majesty."

But now, perhaps knowing that the Emperor's patience had reached its limit, she remained silent for a while before obediently taking the lead, "What does Hengzhi want to say?"

Although she did not answer his question, she no longer denied it as she had done before.

Once these words were spoken, it was almost as if he admitted that he had memories of his past life.

Of course, after so many days, this has been an unspoken fact between the two.

Now that she is willing to admit it, it means that she,... at least does not reject mentioning her past life.

This conclusion made Qi Junyi's knuckles, which were gripping the back of her neck, tremble.

It wasn't her fault that she was unwilling to take the initiative to tell him about the grievances in her heart.

It was all his fault for not making her feel safe enough.

His Yueyue grew up in such an environment and is naturally wary of people.

It takes a lot of love to nourish her confidence in not fearing anything.

In his previous life, he had just learned about love, didn't know how to protect his lover, and became addicted to jealousy...

In this life, he will try his best to restrain himself.

Qi Junyi thought for a long time before he whispered, "Have you seen your father and brothers in the past few days?"

Jiang Lingyue was stunned by the sudden mention of Jiang Shao and the others, and then nodded slightly.

Qi Junyi smiled and asked her, "Are you curious why I transferred them to the horse farm to work?"

Of course Jiang Lingyue had thought about this question.

She didn't hide it and said directly, "Because of the matter between Shen and Jiang Lingxin, you want the Jiang family to come to me to plead for me."

Hearing this, Qi Junyi fell silent.

This was indeed his original intention, but why did it seem to have a different meaning when she said it?

"Yueyue," he frowned and said directly, "I gave the Jiang family a chance to ask you for intercession, not for the sake of Shen and Jiang Lingxin."

Jiang Lingyue said "oh" softly and nodded indifferently.

Qi Junyi: "..."

That feeling of powerlessness like punching cotton came back again.

He tried to suppress his anger and said, "Shen deserves to die, and so does Jiang Lingxin. I will decide the fate of both of them. Your pleading is useless."

Clearly, every word and sentence was filled with murderous intent, yet the tone was calm and nonchalant.

Jiang Lingyue was not surprised by this.

He had personally sent the mother and daughter to the camp to entertain the troops. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he hated them to the core. It would be strange if they could still come out in one piece.

Qi Junyi kept his eyes fixed on her face, and when he saw that she was not surprised, the depression in his heart was relieved a little.

He almost thought that this girl really thought he had something to do with those two things.

After a pause, he continued, "I instructed the Jiang family to appear before you because I didn't want you to blame me in the future. I'm giving you a chance in this life to decide for yourself whether or not to keep them."

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was startled, her eyelids suddenly opened, and she looked straight at him.

In her previous life, her father and brother had an accident...

"It's not me." Qi Junyi understood her look and said without further explanation, "I want their lives. There's no need to spend so much effort."

Jiang Lingyue pursed her lips and said nothing.

What he said... makes sense.

Seeing her eyelids droop again, Qi Junyi couldn't help but tighten her neck. After she raised her eyes, his eyes softened, "I'll tell you what they did, and then you can decide, okay?"

"In your previous life...you were diagnosed with the divine intoxication two years after entering the palace."

He didn't mention their deceased child, but simply said, "By then, the poison had already penetrated your five internal organs, and your body was weak."

"At first, I thought someone in the palace had poisoned you. It wasn't until Divine Doctor Li said the poison came from Lingnan that the Imperial Dragon Guards traced the source and finally determined it was the Shen family who did it."

"And your father and brother..."

Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but interrupt: "You said before that they didn't know."

"They really didn't know about Shen's poisoning," Qi Junyi narrowed his pupils slightly, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes, "but when I posted the imperial edict to recruit the world's best doctors, Shen probably knew that their evil deeds would be exposed, so they confessed the matter to your father."

"Your father couldn't bear to part with his later wife, so to protect her, he summoned your two brothers to his study that night to discuss matters," he said with a sneer. "Do you know what they came up with?"
