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

Yun Shang said it lightly, as if such a result was very common.

Jiang Wantang's eyelashes trembled when she heard this. If Ji Wuyuan wanted to kill these people, he could just kill them directly. There was no need to use her brutal methods.

But he did it.

He is...

Are you trying to cover up your murder tracks?

So, he knew everything?

Yes, when she woke up, Ji Wuyuan was not there...

If it were in the past, it wouldn’t be like this.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wantang lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing her like this, Yun Shang thought she would ask about His Majesty next, but she only asked about the women in the mountains.

His Majesty also took care of his sister for three days without sleep, but left after she woke up.

There seemed to be an invisible gap between the two of them.

It seems like everything has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed.

Yun Shang saw Ji Wuyuan guarding the bedside day and night for three days. The heartache and worry in his eyes were real and could not be faked.

But Jiang Wantang didn't want to mention it, so Yun Shang pretended to know nothing and stayed with her.

Yun Shang took her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, sister. Those poor women on the mountain have been brought down safely by Lord Xie's men. They have been treated by doctors."

"Some wanted to go home, so Master Xie sent people to send them back."

"Those who had no home to return to or did not want to return were sent to Changzhou."

Yun Shang smiled as she spoke: "Speaking of which, sister probably doesn't know yet, but Lord Xie had a relief hospital built in Changzhou, specifically to take in the helpless elderly and children after the flood, as well as those who are homeless..."

Jiang Wantang smiled faintly: "Who would have thought that the most ruthless official in Dasheng, who is notorious for his brutality, has such a tender side?"

Not long after, the imperial physician brought over the prepared medicine.

After drinking the medicine, Jiang Wantang fell asleep again.

She is very weak now. Even if she wakes up, she will be in a state of fatigue and cannot hold on for long.

This went on for several days.

In the study, Ji Wuyuan, sitting upright on a pearwood chair, glared at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, his face as cold as frost: "What's going on?"

The imperial physician knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is seriously overdrawn and needs to stay in bed for a while..."

"Where are the eyes?" Ji Wuyuan asked with a gloomy face.

The imperial physician lowered his head and spoke in a voice as low as it could be: "We still have to wait for some time..."

For a long time, Ji Wuyuan had a cold face and did not speak.

No one knew what he was thinking, his charming and charming face was lowered, and his slender jade-like fingers were pinching his eyebrows.

The sky gradually darkened...

Ji Wuyuan looked at the night outside, walked out of the study and headed towards Jiang Wantang's bedroom.

He had been doing this for some time, handling affairs during the day and staying by Jiang Wantang's bedside at night while she was asleep.

Even though the room was lit with calming incense, Jiang Wantang didn't sleep well that night. She kept having nightmares. In her daze, she felt someone holding her hand, but when she woke up, the warm touch was gone...

Jiang Wantang struggled to stand up. Every movement she made affected her wound, causing her to sweat on her forehead due to the pain.

She raised her hand and groped on the table beside her, wanting to drink some water...

The next moment, a cup of warm water appeared at her side, within her reach.

But Jiang Wantang did not take it. Instead, he withdrew his hand and sat quietly on the bed without saying a word.

Although she couldn't see him, she knew Ji Wuyuan was there.

Ji Wuyuan also knew that she had discovered his existence.

There was a dead silence in the air, and neither of them spoke, like the calm before a volcano erupts...

After a long while, Ji Wuyuan looked at her like this, and finally laughed out of anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Stop pretending?"

In response to him, Jiang Wantang remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Wantang had nothing to say, she could only remain silent.

Ji Wuyuan gritted his teeth, walked to the couch, raised his hand and pinched her chin, without using much strength.

The next moment, he said coldly: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Jiang Wantang woke up so many times and asked almost everyone, but never mentioned him.

So the person who was already angry became even more furious, but he could only sulk by himself.

After waking up, Ji Wuyuan did not punish her, nor did he appear in front of her.

For a moment, Jiang Wantang wasn't sure what he was thinking.

So, she answered sincerely: "Your Majesty, don't you know everything?"

But such words were like adding fuel to the fire for Ji Wuyuan at this moment.

Ji Wuyuan hadn't slept much these days, and the injuries on his body had been aching slightly, which catalyzed the dark haze hidden in his heart.

His heart ached, and he uncontrollably increased the strength in his hands. His voice was deep, revealing a suppressed anger, and he spoke word by word: "I want to hear you say it yourself..."

After saying that, he released the hand that was pinching Jiang Wantang's chin, picked up the cup beside her, placed it in her hand, and said in a deep voice, "Drink the water first."

Jiang Wantang straightened up slightly, drank a few sips of warm water to moisten his throat, and said, "I killed Qi Gui, Lei Shi, and now Qi Ming..."

"why?"

Ji Wuyuan's tone was solemn, and no emotion could be heard.

Jiang Wantang curved her lips, her smile cold and charming: "You have the overall situation in mind, morality, right and wrong, and many considerations of right and wrong."

"But I don't care about that. Whoever touches my people will be killed."

"Besides, isn't what I'm doing exactly what Your Majesty wants?"

No matter how angry he was, Ji Wuyuan had to admit that Jiang Wantang made him look at her with new eyes.

He sneered and said with an ambiguous meaning, "So, you're pretending to be a pure and weak little white rabbit in front of me?"

"I wasn't forced into the imperial selection. From the very beginning, you had your eyes on me?"

Jiang Wantang curled her lips and said directly, "Isn't it the little white rabbit that Your Majesty likes?"

"If Your Majesty knew this side of me from the beginning, would he still tolerate me living in the harem?"

Ji Wuyuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he was choked by her and couldn't say a word for a long time.

If Jiang Wantang had been like this from the beginning, perhaps she wouldn't even have had the chance to get close to him.

"Are you not afraid that I will kill you after I find out?"

Jiang Wantang smiled and said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid."

"But I still want to take a gamble. What if I don't die?"

Ji Wuyuan took a deep breath and looked at her coldly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I didn't know before that the little white flower that I had been carefully caring for was actually a black-hearted lotus.

There was another question that Ji Wuyuan wanted to ask, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Because he was afraid that asking would only bring humiliation upon himself.

Ji Wuyuan put down the cup in Jiang Wantang's hand.

"You won the bet..."
