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

After saying that, Ji Wuyuan pulled Jiang Wantang into his arms.

He sighed softly and said, "How can I bear to make you sad?"

Jiang Wantang's heart was slightly touched, and she leaned quietly in Ji Wuyuan's arms with mixed feelings.

She couldn't understand Ji Wuyuan like this...

Seeing that she was silent, Ji Wuyuan continued, "Tang'er, I have my own plans, but I also know that the maidservant beside you holds a special place in your heart."

"Since she is someone you cherish, how can I bear to let you give her up?"

"Tang'er, don't worry. I won't touch anything or anyone you value lightly."

Jiang Wantang's eyes were moved. She reached out and hugged him tightly. After a long silence, she spoke softly, "Then, Your Majesty, can you swear an oath?"

With just one sentence, Ji Wuyuan's expression changed.

The doubt and disbelief in her words made Ji Wuyuan feel as if something had stabbed his heart, and he felt an indescribable pain.

He lowered his eyebrows, his eyes unconsciously filled with sadness, and he quickly suppressed his emotions, but it only took a moment.

Ji Wuyuan pursed his lips until they turned pale, but he couldn't smile after all. His voice was a little hoarse: "Tang'er... don't you believe me?"

Although he spoke seriously, Jiang Wantang still felt uneasy.

This uneasiness was not due to her distrust of Ji Wuyuan, but because she was afraid...

She was afraid of the day when her lies would be exposed and he would know that she had been deceiving him.

After all, she had only thought of acting out a drama of an emperor and his favorite concubine with him, but she had not expected that the emperor, who was considered the most cold-blooded and ruthless in the eyes of the world, would gradually become interested in her and take her more seriously.

If Ji Wuyuan really fell in love with her, it would mean that she would no longer be able to escape unscathed.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. No matter how sweet the love words are, they cannot compare to the emperor's promise.

Jiang Wantang's words were very soft, and her voice came muffled from his arms. She said, "I'm just scared..."

"A Yuan, I'm afraid that one day..."

I am afraid that one day I will lose everything I have now.

Jiang Wantang hadn't said this yet, but Ji Wuyuan had already compromised.

He said, "Okay...I promise you."

"Tang'er, what oath do you want me to swear?"

Jiang Wantang was stunned. It seemed easier than she had imagined.

She spoke, emphasizing each word: "I want you to swear that from now on, no matter what the circumstances, you will never lay a hand on anyone around me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Wuyuan raised his hand and swore to the sky without hesitation: "I, Ji Wuyuan, swear to the sky that I will love Jiang Wantang for the rest of my life and will never leave her. I will never touch anyone else by her side. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and I will not..."

Before he could finish the last few words, Jiang Wantang had already reached out and covered his lips: "Enough... That's enough..."

The latter held her hand, kissed the back of her hand naturally, and smiled dotingly and gently: "Tang'er, can you rest assured now?"

Jiang Wantang subconsciously withdrew his hand and looked away, his thoughts in a tizzy.

Ji Wuyuan raised his hand to tidy up the loose hair on her temples. His eyes were deep and dark, and he said in a serious tone: "Tang'er, you are the only woman I care about in this life."

"Although it was out of interest at first, I later became deeply immersed in your every move and smile, unable to extricate myself..."

"I won't hurt you, and I will never allow anyone else to hurt you, so..." He paused before saying, "Tang'er... don't be afraid of me, okay?"

Jiang Wantang's eyelashes trembled, and she avoided his burning gaze and said, "Okay..."

Ji Wuyuan had never coaxed a girl before. In the past ten years, the only woman he could treat with kindness was Jiang Wantang.

Seeing her brows drooping and her face expressionless, I didn't know what to do. I could only hug her and pat her back.

Later, Ji Wuyuan told Jiang Wantang about the Qi family, Qi Ming, and his plan.

Jiang Wantang looked at him in surprise after hearing this. After a long pause, he finally said, "You mean to say that the Qi family is not only collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but also hiding some unspeakable secret in Jiangnan?"

Ji Wuyuan smiled and nodded.

"What about Yunshang..." Jiang Wantang said with a worried look on his face.

Ji Wuyuan patted Jiang Wantang's head soothingly and said seriously, "Tang'er, don't worry, she should be safe now."

Jiang Wantang looked at him puzzledly, "How do you know?"

Ji Wuyuan looked at her and lowered his voice, "Qi Ming and the people behind him all thought that you and I were buried in the Changling Mountain sea of ​​fire. Don't say that he didn't know that Yun Shang was yours. Even if he knew, he has more important things to do right now. To avoid complications, he wouldn't set his sights on Yun Shang."

"Unless your little maid discovered something..."

"But as soon as we found Qi Ming's whereabouts in Linzhou yesterday, your little maid left a clue. Obviously, she hasn't fallen into their hands yet."

"Besides, if she really fell into Qi Ming's hands, it would be impossible for our people to not know about it after such a long time."

Jiang Wantang's expression relaxed a little after hearing this.

Ji Wuyuan is right.

After listening to his analysis, Jiang Wantang calmed down a bit. Based on her understanding of Yun Shang, she must have discovered some secret about Qi Ming.

Perhaps because of Ji Wuyuan's oath, or perhaps because of his understanding and easy-going demeanor, Jiang Wantang let down her guard a little, and the two of them chatted about many things, which was a rare occasion.

This time, Jiang Wantang was more sincere towards Ji Wuyuan, no longer responding with false pretenses.

The breeze made the curtains of the car sway constantly, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight came in, shining on the two people who were chatting intimately in front of the table. The golden light was like a soft gauze, covering them with a beautiful and holy halo.

Ji Wuyuan leaned forward slightly, supporting his head with one hand, his eyes fixed on the little girl who was talking in front of him, with a doting smile on his lips, that smile was even more dazzling than the sun...

The carriage was moving very fast, with the breeze whistling past, and its speed was no less than that of a horse, and it was galloping towards Linzhou.

At that time, on the other side of Changzhou.

Xie Zhiyan, Lu Jinan and others received the news and rushed to Linzhou at full speed...

The group was on their way, exhausted and dusty. Xie Zhiyan seemed fine, still looking cold, indifferent and meticulous.

But Lu Jinan looked like he had withered. His eyes were sunken and surrounded by a thick circle of dark circles, like the haze before a storm. His eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, were now full of bloodshot, and the red was a little scary.

Obviously, he hadn't closed his eyes for several days...
