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

Jiang Wantang knew very well that if she didn't take the bait this time, she would be ruined and her reputation would be destroyed.

Just ask yourself, how could an emperor tolerate his woman being almost defiled by such a lowly and vulgar man?

Ji Wuyuan might be able to tolerate her rural background and be attracted by her scheming and means, but he would never accept any uncleanness.

To strike is to die;

If you don't take action, you will be close to death.

The people in the Qi family are very smart. No matter what the situation is, she can't escape death.

Jiang Wantang had a premonition that no matter how she died, they would not let her die in a beautiful way.

But no matter what the situation was, the moment Lei Shi appeared in front of her, she would never let him see tomorrow's sun again.

Anyone who bullies her must die.

Jiang Wantang's lips curled up into a bright smile, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Xie Zhiyan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment he looked at her and said with a smile: "Since they have prepared a big show to lure you into a trap, it would be a pity if I don't join in..."

Xie Zhiyan frowned, staring deeply at Jiang Wantang, and asked worriedly, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't act rashly. Since they dared to set up a trap at the palace banquet today, they must have something to rely on and have made thorough preparations."

"If you act rashly, you will only put yourself in danger."

"Wait a little longer. Even if you don't take action, His Majesty will definitely take action..."

Jiang Wantang smiled softly, his smile unpredictable: "Master Xie, you should know better than me that tonight is the best time."

"Besides, 'No venture, no gain.'"

"Now that we're in this situation, why not fight?"

Xie Zhiyan's brows furrowed even tighter, forming the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Jiang Wantang smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Don't worry. They have their own foolproof plan, and I have my own way to break the deadlock."

After saying that, she turned around and left gracefully.

Xie Zhiyan looked at her stubborn back as she left with complicated eyes, and finally, he sighed helplessly.

Since she insisted on performing this drama, he would not stand idly by.

When Jiang Wantang returned to the banquet, he saw from afar that Empress Dowager Qi, who was sitting in the high seat, had disappeared.

She knew that it must be Concubine Yu who took action.

As if they had telepathic connection, Ji Wuyuan immediately noticed her across the crowd. The ministers who were toasting him at the table tactfully retreated, leaving only Wang Fuhai standing beside him.

He looked at her deeply, and his meaning was obviously... come here.

Jiang Wantang deliberately walked through the crowd and headed towards Ji Wuyuan who was sitting in the main seat.

Coming over, she soon felt an intense gaze on her, with an inquiring look that could not be ignored.

The source of the sight was Lei Shi, who was hiding in the dark at the edge of the banquet.

Jiang Wantang curled her lips. He should be able to recognize her from such a close distance.

She slowly walked forward and sat down beside Ji Wuyuan, who reached out and touched her head, saying with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

As he spoke, his hand gently stroked her eyebrows, and finally landed on the corners of her eyes, rubbing them with his fingertips for a few times.

That was where her tears fell not long ago.

She had already fixed her makeup to make sure there was nothing wrong.

Ji Wuyuan stroked it gently, just like wiping tears.

Jiang Wantang froze for a moment, nodded, and then said with a nonchalant smile, "Yeah, much better."

"Jiang Wantang..." Ji Wuyuan suddenly called her name seriously, his eyes dark and deep. He said, "As long as I am here, no one can bully you."

He paused, then added, "Don't run too far. I'll be very worried if I can't find you."

Jiang Wantang was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she asked him in surprise, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"

"Nothing..." Ji Wuyuan calmed down a little and put down his hand that was on the corner of Jiang Wantang's eyes. He said, "I just want to tell you that I am your support."

"You can always count on me."

He was staring at her without blinking, his eyes filled with indescribable tenderness and complexity.

Jiang Wantang's eyelashes trembled and she said, "Okay."

Later, Ji Wuyuan saw that she had not eaten anything, so he asked Wang Fuhai to bring up some of her favorite meals.

Jiang Wantang didn't want him to notice anything unusual, so she lowered her head and started eating without any appetite.

After the meal, she went to a nearby side hall to rest on the pretext of being tired.

As soon as Jiang Wantang left the banquet, several figures scattered to report the news.

Jiang Wantang deliberately found a side hall in a more secluded location. When she was halfway there, a hall door suddenly opened and someone covered her mouth and dragged her in.

Just as she was about to fight back, she saw that the person coming was Xie Zhiyan.

Jiang Wantang said unhappily, "Xie Zhiyan, why did you drag me in here?"

Xie Zhiyan whispered, "If you want to rest, you can rest here. I just checked and it's safe here."

Jiang Wantang chuckled and said, "Let's leave this place to Master Xie. I have a place to rest."

After saying that, she turned around.

At this moment, Xie Zhiyan seized the opportunity and raised his hand to attack her neck, but he never expected that Jiang Wantang had anticipated it. She turned around before him and swung her sleeves.

A puff of smoke was inhaled into Xie Zhiyan's mouth and nose, and his body suddenly fell backwards weakly.

Jiang Wantang reached out and supported him.

Xie Zhiyan looked at her in disbelief. He was still conscious, but his body could not move.

Jiang Wantang smiled, a sly smile in his eyes: "Thank you, sir, the same trick is enough to use once."

"I won't be fooled again the second time."

Xie Zhiyan opened his eyes, his eyes red.

Jiang Wantang saw his intention and said, "Master Xie, please do not think of using your internal energy to secretly alleviate the effects of the medicine. This incense is specifically used to deal with martial artists."

"The more you use your internal energy, the faster the drug's effects will dissipate."

"Like, are you starting to feel dizzy right now?"

Xie Zhiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the dizziness in his head. He looked at her coldly, gritting his teeth and saying, "Jiang Wantang!"

Jiang Wantang teased, "It's not okay to get angry."

Xie Zhiyan felt dizzy and uncontrollable, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"You'll know when you wake up..."

After saying that, Jiang Wantang waved her sleeves in front of him again until he gradually closed his eyes.

Xie Zhiyan's self-control was even stronger than she had imagined. Most people would faint immediately, but he managed to hold on for so long. It was only after she increased the amount of incense that he fainted.

She helped him to rest on the couch in the hall.

Then he closed the door and walked out.

This was her private matter. She didn't want to involve Xie Zhiyan, nor did she want to owe him any more favors.

Favors are also debts and must be repaid.

She doesn't like the feeling of being controlled by others, so she has to join in today's game.

Jiang Wantang turned left and right and came to the most remote side hall. When he opened the door, someone was already waiting there.
