The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Xie Zhiyan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Jiang Wantang at this moment.

As early as the banquet, he noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Wantang. She looked very bad, without the usual carefree smile on her face. Her whole state was completely different from usual. Although she was smiling when talking to His Majesty, her eyes were complicated.

And...when she looked at the man named Lei Shi at the banquet, her eyes were not ordinary.

Xie Zhiyan slowly walked towards her.

At this time, Jiang Wantang was still immersed in the memories of the past.

In fact, she hadn't thought of that boy for many years. Perhaps it was because she was too hurt, so she deliberately forgot this memory.

What stimulated her today was not Lei Shi himself, but the memory that had been vague for a long time. With his appearance, it gradually became clearer in her mind, even to the point of complete concreteness.

She remembered the boy in blue clothes and black hair that was buried in her memory, she remembered his appearance like the breeze and the bright moon, she remembered his gentle and clear voice, she remembered his unbridled and ostentatious smile...

Every detail is profound and clear.

It was not until this moment that she realized that the warmth and youth she had longed for in her previous life had never been Xiao Jingheng, but Brother Xiaoqi, who had been buried in her memory.

Yes, they are both young men wearing blue clothes and black hair, riding horses and shooting arrows, full of high spirits.

No wonder she was so attached to Jamel Xiao's company, but never took the initiative to get close to him.

The people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion only knew that Xiao Jingheng did not consummate the marriage with her, but they did not know that it was actually her unwillingness.

Jamel Xiao simply noticed her reluctance and did not force her.

He is the boy in her memory, but not the boy in her heart.

And the candy in her memory was not Jamel Xiao’s osmanthus candy.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wantang closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.

It wasn't her who wanted to cry, it was Jiang Wantang in her memories who was crying.

It was Jiang Wantang when she was ten years old.

She was used to darkness and loneliness, but his appearance was like a ray of sunshine shining into the darkness, making her feel warmth and companionship in the darkness.

So, when he disappeared, she felt like she had fallen into an abyss, with only endless darkness and loneliness waiting for her.

The years in the mountains were difficult, but he was once her salvation. However, facts later proved that the sun that once warmed her heart would never rise in the sky above her head.

From then on, Jiang Wantang knew that if you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. Only by relying on yourself can you stand fearlessly.

After she thought she had killed Lei Shi, she returned to the bamboo courtyard in the forest and set it on fire herself, burning it down to ashes.

Just pretend that all this never existed.

There is no Atang, and no brother Xiaoqi.

Afterwards, she returned to the mountain village alone and killed all the farmers who had bullied and abused her...

From then on, she began to study and practice kung fu diligently, so that she would no longer have to live a life of being at the mercy of others.

Although she is a girl, she is unwilling to be weak.

Sensing someone approaching from behind, Jiang Wantang pulled himself back to his senses and turned to look.

Xie Zhiyan met Jiang Wantang's red eyes, which were flashing with broken tears and filled with an indissoluble sadness.

Her originally bright and vibrant face was now pale and bloodless, looking weak and distressing.

For a moment, it seemed as if time had frozen.

Xie Zhiyan's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. It was extremely painful, and at the same time, an unknown emotion spread in his heart.

He stared at Jiang Wantang in a daze. This was the second time.

The last time I saw her so sad was because of her brother Jiang Huaizhou, but now Jiang Huaizhou is fine...

If not him, then who else?

It was so important that it could make her so sad...

The tears and sadness in her eyes made his heart feel like it was stabbed by something, causing a sharp pain.

He wanted to ask her what happened, why she was so sad, what she could do to stop feeling sad, and...

Xie Zhiyan's throat tightened, and thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to start.

I couldn't even go up to her to comfort her or wipe her tears.

A deep feeling of powerlessness surged through every part of his body.

Everyone either envied or was jealous of her current radiance and glory, but only he understood how difficult and arduous her journey had been, not to mention the ten years of suffering and darkness she had experienced.

Xie Zhiyan had never met such a woman before. She was so stubborn that it made people feel distressed, yet so fragile that it made people feel even more distressed.

Jiang Wantang just glanced at Xie Zhiyan and turned around.

Xie Zhiyan did not move forward and stood silently behind her without disturbing her.

Two people stood in front of the lotus pond. The woman had a delicate figure and wore a long crabapple-red dress; the man was tall and slender, wearing a black and red brocade robe.

The two people were standing one in front and one behind, with a distance between them that was neither far nor near.

The moonlight was like water, gently falling on them, as if enveloping them in a layer of holy light.

Xiao Jingheng, who arrived late, saw such a beautiful and harmonious picture.

He clenched his hands into fists, then dropped them weakly.

He's late again...

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Jamel Xiao's mouth.

From his direction, he couldn't see Jiang Wantang's face, but he could clearly see Xie Zhiyan's profile.

As a man, although he hid his emotions very well, Jamel Xiao understood what it all meant.

Perhaps he should have realized during the spring hunt that the cold-blooded and arrogant Dali Temple Minister Xie was not the kind of person who would meddle in other people's affairs.

Xiao Jingheng looked at the two of them in a trance. It was not until this moment that he realized that the crabapple flower he once kept hidden had long since been reborn and was blooming in the spring.

The crabapple blossom that once cooked for him and cared for him had long since withered and fallen completely.

But so what?

The most important thing for people who grow flowers is patience.

He can wait, even if time flies and the world changes, as long as she is there, he will wait forever.

Until his crabapple blossoms bloom for him again...

After a long time, Jamel Xiao turned around and left silently.

Since his love was a burden to her, he hid his passionate love from then on.

He loved her, but he also knew not to bother her anymore.

……

Jiang Wantang, who was standing beside the lotus pond, had suppressed her emotions. Apart from her eyes which were still slightly flushed, no other emotion could be seen.

Jiang Wantang turned around and took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence. She said, "Thank you, Master. The Qi family has already taken action..."

It's emotionally stimulating, but she's not stupid.

The appearance of thunder stone is by no means accidental.

They had prepared a trap and were waiting for her to take the bait.

The thunder stone is the fuse prepared for her by the Qi family, and it will explode once it is ignited.

Xie Zhiyan looked at her with a complicated expression and said softly, "Yes, so what do you think?"
