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

Ji Wuyuan's eyes were icy, and he spoke each word with emphasis: "Advance the plan."

Xie Zhiyan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, somewhat surprised...

Ji Wuyuan smiled, his tone quite intriguing: "Since they don't want me to go, then I will take a detour and lead them directly to Mingzhou."

"Do we have to do this?" Xie Zhiyan said in a deep voice, his eyes full of disapproval and depression as he looked at Ji Wuyuan.

"Yes." Ji Wuyuan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "The severe flooding in Jiangnan was caused by human beings. The intention was to stop the chaos."

"With me as bait, they will definitely not miss such a good opportunity."

"That way, they won't have time to worry about flooding."

Everyone understood what he said, but... the risk was also real.

Along the way, there are bound to be dangers everywhere.

Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, but in the end he had nothing to say.

Seeing this, Ji Wuyuan patted his shoulder with his usual casual attitude: "Don't worry."

Xie Zhiyan's expression was quite complicated. He took a deep breath and then asked, "When do we leave?"

Ji Wuyuan's eyes were indifferent as he slowly said, "After this rest, we will split up into two groups. I will take Bai Weiwei on a detour to Mingzhou, and you and the others will continue south..."

"So anxious?!" Xie Zhiyan looked at him in surprise.

Ji Wuyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, and his smile was cold: "If I stay for a moment longer, you will be in danger for a moment longer."

"Relief funds, relief grain, and my imperial edict will all arrive in due course. The accompanying military doctor is also on the way. From now on, the management of the flood in Jiangnan will be handed over to you."

Xie Zhiyan understood what he meant, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Then, Ji Wuyuan stood up and walked towards the carriage.

As they were about to part, he just wanted to spend more time with her.

In the carriage, Jiang Wantang was quietly leaning on the table reading a storybook, which Ji Wuyuan had prepared specially for her because he was afraid that she would be bored on the road.

When Ji Wuyuan got on the carriage, Jiang Wantang heard the noise and subconsciously looked over...

The two looked at each other. Jiang Wantang's eyes were clear and bright. When she saw him, her eyes brightened up a bit.

Ji Wuyuan smiled, and his heart softened unconsciously.

Jiang Wantang rested one hand on the edge of the table, supporting her chin, and held a storybook in the other. When she saw Ji Wuyuan's face, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. She called out in a sweet voice, "A Yuan..."

"Yeah." Ji Wuyuan responded with a smile, his magnetic and sexy voice filled with an intoxicating tenderness.

Jiang Wantang looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. "Are you done?"

"Well, it's almost there."

"Are we about to set off?" Jiang Wantang asked curiously, "I heard them packing their bags."

"It will be soon." Ji Wuyuan held her in his arms and kissed her hair with an infinite affectionate gesture: "Don't worry, Tang'er, there won't be so many assassinations in the future."

"Tang'er, just treat this trip as a trip for fun and be happy."

It's funny to say that he already started to miss her and feel reluctant to leave her before they even parted.

But some of the words he wanted to say were too sad and sentimental. He looked at her smiling face and couldn't bring himself to say them.

So, Ji Wuyuan could only hug her tighter, wishing he could rub her into his flesh and blood.

Jiang Wantang keenly sensed something from his words and actions...

She reached out and hugged him tightly.

"A Yuan..."

"Ah."

"A Yuan..."

Ji Wuyuan closed his eyes, hugged her tighter in his arms, and said in a low and serious voice: "I'm here."

Jiang Wantang's voice was muffled and came from his heart: "When A Yuan is done with your work, come pick me up early, okay?"

Ji Wuyuan opened his eyes, his throat moved, and there was a trace of red under his eyes, with a beautiful arc.

He clearly didn't say anything, but she was so smart and insightful that she knew everything.

After a while, Ji Wuyuan spoke in a hoarse voice: "Okay..."

There was a moment of silence in the air, and Jiang Wantang asked him, "When are we leaving?"

Ji Wuyuan said: "Right away..."

The sound is very soft.

Jiang Wantang's eyelashes trembled, and she added, "Really...you won't consider taking me with you?"

Ji Wuyuan really wanted her to accompany him, but as soon as he thought about the unknown risks and accidents that might come...

He didn't dare to gamble.

This journey is full of dangers, swords, blood, and murderous intentions.

How could he bear to let her face all this with him?

He couldn't bear to give it up at all.

Ji Wuyuan stroked her hair gently, his eyes dark. He said, "In the past, I was free from worries and could do whatever I wanted. But now... I have to be on guard..."

Jiang Wantang looked up at her and asked, "Because I am your weakness?"

Ji Wuyuan stared at Jiang Wantang without blinking, the eagerness in his eyes almost transparent, and he said seriously: "Yes."

Not just a weak spot...

Ji Wuyuan kissed her forehead and said in a very gentle voice: "Tang'er, be good. Go to Jiangnan with them first and wait for me to pick you up, okay?"

Jiang Wantang's eyes trembled, but he said calmly, "Okay, I understand."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something cold, jade-like object stuffed into her hand.

She lowered her head and saw a golden jade pendant with a dragon pattern lying in her palm.

Jiang Wantang's pupils suddenly shrank. There was only one golden jade pendant with dragon pattern in the world. It represented the emperor's presence and was a symbol of imperial power, just like the jade seal.

No matter where she is, as long as she takes out this dragon pendant, it is equivalent to the emperor himself coming.

Jiang Wantang raised her eyes and met Ji Wuyuan's gentle and smiling eyes.

The latter kissed the side of her face and whispered, "Do you like it?"

Jiang Wantang's hand holding the jade pendant was a little unsteady. Her throat tightened and she said in a bitter tone, "This is too valuable..."

"It's not that valuable. This is a token of love I gave to Tang'er."

"My Tang'er deserves the best in the world."

Ji Wuyuan said it lightly, but this is the imperial dragon pendant that represents the emperor and the imperial power. How could it not be valuable?

But he gave it to himself so easily.

To say I wasn't moved would be a lie.

But what can we do?

Ji Wuyuan looked down at the little girl with red eyes in his arms and sighed softly.

The emperor, who was considered the most cold-blooded and ruthless in the eyes of the world, looked at the little girl in his arms helplessly, with deep reluctance and tenderness in his eyes.

Then, he saw Jiang Wantang rummaging through his body, looking for something.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her and laughed helplessly, "What are you looking for, Tang'er?"

Jiang Wantang looked around but found nothing.

She looked at Ji Wuyuan, her eyes welling up with warmth, and she said in a trembling voice, "But, I have nothing to give you."

Ji Wuyuan smiled and tidied up Jiang Wantang's hair. He looked at her deeply and said in a bewitching voice, "Tang'er, if you really want to give me something, then wait until I come back and give your heart to me, okay?"
