After Concubine Jia left, Ji Wuyuan withdrew his arm that was being held by Jiang Wantang, with an extremely cold expression.

Jiang Wantang knew that what was supposed to come had finally come.

She pretended to know nothing, and looked at Ji Wuyuan innocently with a pair of watery and pure eyes, and said in a sweet and soft voice: "Your Majesty..."

"what happened to you?"

"But how did I displease you?"

Ji Wuyuan didn't say anything, but took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of her.

The words between the lines of the note were filled with every detail of how much Jiang Wantang loved the young Marquis Xiao Jingheng.

Ji Wuyuan's jawline was tense and his eyes were unnaturally gloomy.

What an emperor can't tolerate the most is that his woman has another man in her heart, especially when he has some feelings for this woman.

Jiang Wantang wondered, did she know why Ji Wuyuan hadn't come to see her for some time?

He is waiting.

Wait until she finds out, wait until she comes over and asks him.

A concubine who truly loves him and cares about him will definitely notice something is wrong at the first moment.

But she ignored this problem because of Concubine Xiao's illness, or perhaps she didn't care.

These days, Ji Wuyuan didn't come to see her, and she didn't take the initiative to look for him.

Not only that, she also went to Concubine Xiao's Shoukang Palace every day.

From Ji Wuyuan's perspective, doesn't this just verify the contents of the note?

Jiang Wantang looked at the note in front of him with cold eyes. He knew without thinking that it was Jiang Wanfu's doing.

In this new life, no one knew about the entanglement between her and Jamel Xiao.

Since she entered the palace, Jiang Wanfu has been making small moves, openly and covertly mocking her rural origin and saying she is not presentable to others.

Jiang Wanfu really hasn't changed at all. As long as she's not doing well, those who she hates won't have an easy life either.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Ji Wuyuan felt even colder.

His eyes were filled with cold tears, and he said in a sinister tone, "My beloved, won't you explain?"

Jiang Wantang smiled, her eyes calm enough: "Nonsense, how can I explain it?"

"I have only met Young Marquis Xiao a few times, and we are not familiar with each other."

Ji Wuyuan's eyes were deep, and he stared at Jiang Wantang without blinking. His fingers tapped the table from time to time, as if he was considering the truthfulness of her words. The feeling of oppression was very heavy.

After a long moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "If you are not familiar with me, then why has my beloved concubine been running to Shoukang Palace for days?"

Jiang Wantang remained calm and readily responded, "It's because when I was being punished by the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace, Concubine Xiao helped me out of kindness."

"Later, when I fell out of favor and was bedridden, Concubine Xiao was the only one in the harem who frequently sent people to visit me."

"Now that Concubine Xiao is seriously ill, I, your humble servant, shall do my best to repay your kindness."

When she mentioned the Queen Mother's punishment, Ji Wuyuan remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

Despite this, Ji Wuyuan's suspicions remained undispelled. He still had an extremely cold and heavy aura, and his expression was intimidating without even being angry.

He was silent for a moment, then continued, "I heard that on the day my beloved concubine entered the palace, Young Marquis Xiao abandoned his newlywed wife and rode his horse to the front of the Shenwu Gate. Is this true?"

Ji Wuyuan's voice was as cold as ice, and every word seemed to hit Jiang Wantang's heart like a heavy hammer.

Jiang Wantang's heart trembled, and she quickly knelt down. "Your Majesty, please be advised. That day, Young Marquis Xiao was entrusted by the eldest sister of the mansion to come here to give instructions. I was in the carriage the entire time and never showed up. The palace maids who were responsible for the transportation that day can testify to this."

"There is absolutely no private relationship between this concubine and Young Marquis Xiao."

After saying that, Jiang Wantang raised her eyes and looked straight at Ji Wuyuan. Her eyes were pure and clean, and the honesty in them was obvious.

Ji Wuyuan had already verified these with the palace servants, and it was indeed as she said.

However, this note appeared on Jiang Wantang's desk on the night he first went to Shoukang Palace to visit Concubine Xiao.

He stared at Jiang Wantang in front of him, his gaze seemed to penetrate her soul, which was terrifying.

Jiang Wantang was not afraid at all and met his complex and aggressive gaze with great calmness.

Ji Wuyuan leaned over, raised his hand and gently pinched her jaw, making her raise her head.

"Jiang Wantang, I can pamper you and indulge you, but I hate deception the most in my life."

He looked at Jiang Wantang's blushing face and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "So, don't lie to me, I will know."

Jiang Wantang's heart trembled, her face remained calm. She opened her lips slightly, her voice soft but firm: "I will not."

No matter how good Ji Wuyuan treats her, it cannot change the fact that he is an emperor. He is strong in his bones and cannot be violated.

Ji Wuyuan's expression eased slightly and he released Jiang Wantang's chin.

Jiang Wantang reached out and grasped his arm, then stood up and threw herself into his arms, saying softly, "Your Majesty..."

Ji Wuyuan's body stiffened, and he said coldly: "Get out!"

Jiang Wantang became more and more aggressive, not only hugging him harder, but also rubbing against his chest, with just the right amount of domineering and arrogant attitude: "I won't!"

Ji Wuyuan pulled her away and saw that her eyes were red and watery as she looked at him, looking extremely aggrieved.

She spoke with a tone of grievance: "Your Majesty has wronged me just now..."

"And he's so fierce..."

Ji Wuyuan raised an eyebrow. She had ignored him for so many days and was even involved with another man, yet he didn't have the heart to punish her, and she was still feeling wronged?!

He was so angry that he wanted to laugh, but when he saw her eyes red with grievance, he felt really distressed.

So he swallowed the blame and anger that were on the tip of his tongue.

He always seemed like this, clearly angry, but unable to do anything about her.

Ji Wuyuan could only hold her helplessly and coax her softly: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault, don't be angry anymore, be good~"

Jiang Wantang had just felt something was wrong. Ji Wuyuan's aura was as cold as ice, but she still felt a little hot.

At this moment, held in Ji Wuyuan's arms, this feeling of restlessness became more and more obvious.

It is not difficult to guess that I must have eaten something unclean.

Jiang Wantang remembered the bowl of soup she had drunk not long ago. She narrowed her eyes and began to move restlessly in Ji Wuyuan's arms.

Ji Wuyuan lowered his eyes and saw that her little face was red and she looked uncomfortable.

He looked worried: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Your Majesty...it's hot...so hot..." Jiang Wantang felt that even her words were filled with heat: "Your Majesty, I'm so hot..."

She restlessly reached out to pull Ji Wuyuan's clothes, thinking that the moment she had been waiting for might have come.

Ji Wuyuan held her in his arms, letting her naughty little hands pull here and there.

Soon, Wang Fuhai hurriedly brought several imperial doctors into the palace to treat Jiang Wantang.

Just as the imperial doctors were about to kneel down to pay their respects, Ji Wuyuan interrupted them and told them to hurry forward to treat the patient.

Seeing this, several people did not dare to delay and stepped forward. They saw that the emperor was holding a delicate woman in his arms, but her face was blocked and they could not see it clearly.

As soon as he glanced at her, he heard a bone-chilling voice overhead, a warning: "If you keep looking, I'll gouge out your eyes."
