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

After all, with Xie Zhiyan's family background, looks, and power, he could have any woman he wanted. How could she be like him, unable to get the love she wanted?

So Lu Jinan, lying on the grass, glanced at Xie Zhiyan, who was concentrating beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Sir, is there anything bothering you?"

Xie Zhiyan was silent for a moment, then curled the corners of his lips, his tone as cold as ever: "It's a matter of concern, not a worry."

Lu Jinan looked at him blankly, somewhat surprised by his answer.

So, it’s not a bother...of worries?

Since it is something in my heart, I will not speak it out loud easily.

Lu Jinan did not ask any further questions, but asked another question.

He said, "Sir, what should I do if I like a woman and want to do my best to treat her well, but she seems to need nothing and I don't know where to start?"

After asking this question, Lu Jinan smiled self-deprecatingly.

He forgot that Xie Zhiyan was a single man and had no interest in women, so how could he know how to coax a girl.

But he didn't expect that Xie Zhiyan would give the answer the next moment: "Stand in her perspective, think what she thinks, do what she does..."

A very sensible, yet to-the-point answer.

Lu Jinan sat up instantly and looked at him in surprise, as if he had been enlightened.

He sighed sincerely: "It is only when adults are on the sidelines that one can see things more clearly!"

Is he a bystander?

Xie Zhiyan smiled nonchalantly and did not respond?

......

Late at night, several inconspicuous carriages slowly drove towards the city gate. The sound of the wheels rolling was particularly clear in the silent and deserted night.

The secret guard driving the car took out the token, and the guards at the city gate immediately opened the gate and knelt down to let them pass.

At this time, the temperature inside the carriage was rising.

"No... Um..."

“No…”

Fortunately, the carriage was specially made and had excellent sound insulation.

But the secret guard driving the carriage had much better hearing than an ordinary person, so he could only keep his body stiff and continue driving the carriage away quickly and steadily.

Inside the carriage, on the soft couch, Jiang Wantang's small hands weakly beat Ji Wuyuan's chest, and her already watery eyes were now filled with tears.

Her cheeks were plump and rosy, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Ji Wuyuan was not much better. The corners of his eyes were incredibly red, and his entire face was stained with a seductive color due to his emotions.

As their lips touched, Jiang Wantang heard him say in a bewitching voice, "Tang'er, if you say you want to hear it, I'll tell you, okay?

Jiang Wantang could only gasp and say, "I want to hear..."

After getting the answer he wanted, Ji Wuyuan finally let go of Jiang Wantang, whose face had turned red.

His breathing was also unstable. After calming down a little, he hugged Jiang Wantang, pressed his forehead against hers, and his breath fell on her face, somewhat tenderly.

After a long while, Ji Wuyuan finally spoke: "There is no relationship between Bai Weiwei and me. All our connections come from his brother Bai Yi."

Jiang Wantang blinked, somewhat surprised by his explanation.

She remembered that Bai Weiwei had an older brother who died on the battlefield. Later, when Ji Wuyuan ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of mighty general on him.

Jiang Wantang stared at him blankly. She had a premonition that this mighty general was of great importance to him, and what happened that year was also extraordinary.

Ji Wuyuan lowered his eyes, his tone light, no emotion could be heard: "Back then, I was just an unpopular prince, so I went to the battlefield, and Bai Yi was one of my deputy generals at the time. He accompanied me all the way through life and death, fighting on the battlefield."

"The final battle at the border was a fierce one. He sacrificed himself to protect me from an arrow..."

At this point, he paused before continuing calmly, "That year, he had just reached the age of twenty and had not yet performed the ceremony. We had planned to have the soldiers perform the ceremony for him after our triumphant return."

"But in order to save me, he remained on the battlefield forever, and even his body was never brought back."

"Bai Yi was an orphan. He and his sister, Bai Weiwei, had been dependent on each other since childhood. Before his death, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his sister. He entrusted Bai Weiwei to me and asked me to find a good family for her to marry into."

"Many soldiers have died on the battlefield like him, but he followed me all the way since he was a soldier, and later sacrificed his life saving me. No matter how you look at it, I owe him my life."

Jiang Wantang's heart tightened when he heard this.

She reached out and patted the back of Ji Wuyuan's hand in a soothing manner.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her and smiled, then he held Jiang Wantang's hand with his backhand and kissed her on his lips without any romantic feelings.

He spoke again, his tone still calm: "So, I will do my best to help him fulfill his last wish."

"After the triumphant return, Bai Weiwei returned to the capital with the army. I ordered people to find many young men from aristocratic families of suitable age for her, but she refused any of them."

"Later, many soldiers in the army proposed to marry Bai Weiwei, but she also refused."

"After I ascended the throne, I thought of conferring upon her the title of County Lady. When she meets a man of her dreams in the future, I will arrange a marriage for them."

"But she knelt before me and begged me to take her into the harem on the grounds of her brother."

"I told her clearly that she could enter the harem, but all I could give her was wealth and glory, nothing else."

"..."

Ji Wuyuan paused for a moment, but still couldn't bear to reveal all the conspiracies and dirty deeds he had done in the past to Jiang Wantang.

For example, the hidden arrow shot at him that year did not come from the enemy, but from his own people behind him;

For example, why did he kill his father and brother and massacre the Golden Dragon Palace?

For example, after entering the palace, Bai Weiwei once tried to climb onto his throne, but he stabbed her through the heart with a sword. She was eventually rescued, but was left with a heart disease.

......

Ji Wuyuan skipped over these unbearable past events and talked about why he brought Bai Weiwei with him this time.

He said, "Bai Yi's body was left on the battlefield. Later, Bai Weiwei used his battle robe and sword to build a cenotaph for him in Mingzhou, their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. They performed several rituals and it was considered that his soul had returned home."

"A few days ago, Bai Weiwei came to me and said that there was a serious flood in Jiangnan and she had dreamt of her brother Bai Yi."
