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

Jiang Wantang looked at the bright crabapple lanterns all over the yard, a rather self-deprecating smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Her cold white skin was shrouded in a hazy luster under the illumination of the lanterns, creating a dreamlike beauty.

After a long moment, Jiang Wantang's already watery peach blossom eyes lit up with a radiant light. She suddenly chuckled and said in a very soft voice, "I just...suddenly can't go on acting anymore."

"I know he wants me to ask him to stay. If it were any other time, I would definitely do the same."

"But, seeing what he did for me these past two days, it was all done from the heart."

"He really just wanted to make me happy, and he really put his heart into celebrating my birthday."

As she spoke, a bitter smile crossed Jiang Wantang's lips: "Yun Shang, you know, this is the first time someone has celebrated my birthday with such care."

"It was also the first time I knew that longevity noodles could be a meal with even richer and more precious ingredients than Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

Jiang Wantang paused, then continued, "I used to envy Jiang Wanfu. I envied her for the grand banquets she would throw for her birthday at the Prime Minister's Mansion. I envied her for being the center of attention, the way she was held in the palm of someone's hand, like a jewel."

"But no one has ever remembered my birthday, or perhaps no one cares."

"But now, there's someone who suddenly remembered my birthday. He gave me all the birthday gifts and blessings I've been missing since I was born, and they were all the best..."

"He made me feel that what I envied Jiang Wanfu for was nothing more than this."

"He also made me experience the feeling of being treated like a rare treasure, pampered and spoiled."

People's hearts are made of flesh, so how can they be completely indifferent?

So, when facing Ji Wuyuan, Jiang Wantang's cold heart suddenly became unbearable.

There was no smile on Jiang Wantang's delicate and bright little face, but a tranquility like a deep pool.

She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yun Shang, I really just...suddenly can't act anymore..."

"That sounds ridiculous."

Jiang Wantang did indeed laugh softly, with a hint of self-mockery.

"I don't want to lie to him, nor do I want to lie to myself, at least not today."

"I think, today, at this moment, I don't want to face his sincerity with false feelings."

"It's ridiculous. After being deceived for so long, my heart, which has been numb for a long time, still can't bear it."

Yun Shang's grip on Jiang Wantang's arm tightened slightly, and she sighed, "Sister, we are not plants or trees, how can we be heartless?"

"Since you can't be honest with each other, then either you lie to him or he lies to you. I would rather my sister be the one who takes the lead."

"No matter what the outcome is, Yun Shang will always be by my sister's side and never leave her."

Jiang Wantang smiled, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She parted her red lips and uttered only one word: "Okay."

The two of them sat in the yard for a long time.

The next day, the weather was hot, but it suddenly rained heavily for a long time.

Jiang Wantang and Yun Shang were sitting by the window reading when someone suddenly came from Concubine Yu's side to report that Empress Dowager Qi was pregnant and was almost two months pregnant.

Judging from the time, it was exactly what was left after the palace banquet and the debauchery with a group of wild and unruly men.

Concubine Yu asked her what she wanted to do.

Jiang Wantang frowned, but still stood up and went to the Cining Palace in person in the heavy rain.

Inside the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Qi was seen sitting on a filthy bed, with disheveled hair and a dull expression, sunken eye sockets, and empty and dull eyes.

Her skin and fingers, which had been well maintained, became dry and waxy, making her look completely different from the graceful and elegant Empress Dowager Qi two months ago.

She looks very similar to the crazy Concubine Yu.

Of course, all this was done by Concubine Yu.

Ever since Empress Dowager Qi was caught committing adultery in public and was convicted of causing chaos in the palace, the Qi family gave up on her, and Ji Wuyuan handed her over to Jiang Wantang to deal with at will.

Jiang Wantang naturally handed the person over to Concubine Yu.

Empress Dowager Qi had tortured Concubine Yu for more than 20 years, so Concubine Yu naturally would not let her have an easy time.

But when Jiang Wantang walked into the inner room and saw how dirty Empress Dowager Qi looked at the moment, he was still a little surprised.

The entire hall was filled with an indescribable stench, like a toilet that had not been cleaned for several months.

Jiang Wantang stood at the door, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, frowning.

Perhaps she heard some noise, Empress Dowager Qi turned around and looked at Jiang Wantang, who was standing at the door in a scarlet long dress with wide sleeves and gold gauze. Her pupils trembled suddenly, and she stepped back as if she had seen a ghost.

But her legs and feet were tied to the couch with iron chains, and after taking two steps back, she could no longer move at all.

Empress Dowager Qi was so excited that she tried her best to pull at the two thick iron chains that trapped her.

It was not until then that Jiang Wantang saw the large circles of bruises on her calves, which were blue and even black, and that the iron chain had passed through her calf bones, and the wounds had already scabbed over.

When Empress Dowager Qi saw Jiang Wantang, she covered her face and kicked the chains with her feet desperately, trying to break free.

While exerting force, he kept shouting: "Don't look at me, don't look at me..."

"I didn't kill you, I didn't kill you..."

Jiang Wantang instantly understood that Empress Dowager Qi mistook her for the Empress Dowager Wende of the past.

At the same time, she also understood why the inner room was so smelly.

Concubine Yu trapped Empress Dowager Qi on this bed, and she had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate on this bed...

Empress Dowager Qi was a person who cared most about her appearance in front of others. Concubine Yu's action was trampling on her dignity and respectability, and torturing her body and mind at the same time.

Jiang Wantang suppressed her nausea and took two steps forward. Seeing this, Empress Dowager Qi on the couch became even more agitated and blurted out, "Don't come over here..."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, go find the person who hurt you, I am innocent..."

Jiang Wantang recalled what Concubine Yu had said before. Not only did she look like Empress Dowager Wende, but her voice was also somewhat similar.

So she sneered and deliberately asked tentatively: "Oh, innocent?"

"You are a vicious woman, how can you talk about innocence?"

Empress Dowager Qi snapped, "It's not me!"

Jiang Wantang then used a sinister voice to scare her: "If it's not you, then who else could it be, you vicious woman, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

"It's so cold underground, come down and keep me company..."

"Ah ah ah..."

As the cold wind blew in from the window, Empress Dowager Qi couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her head and screamed in fear.

"I didn't mean to do that. He/she forced me to do that. He/she forced me to do that..."

"I didn't hurt you, it was him (her). He (she) is a pervert, a beast..."

"Hahaha……"
