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

Xie Zhiyan looked at her expressionlessly and sneered, "Who are you?"

"Do you and I know each other?"

Concubine Wang's breath caught in her throat, and she twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hand. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, "Thank you, my Lord. You are truly forgetful."

"I am Wang Guilan, the daughter of the former Minister of Justice, Wang Anping."

"Thank you for your kindness, my father died in prison..."

"Unjust death?" Xie Zhiyan was silent at first, then he repeated the word with a cold smile, sneering, "Wang Anping committed suicide in the Dali Temple prison out of fear of punishment. His death was not unjust at all."

"So, you designed such a clumsy drama to seek revenge on me?" Xie Zhiyan raised his eyebrows, a sarcastic arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Veins popped out of Lady Wang's face, her eyes nearly bloodshot as she said excitedly, "Yes, I'm not having a good time, and neither should you!"

"It doesn't matter if the method is clumsy, as long as it is useful to Master Xie."

"Jiang Wantang is now in my hands. If Master Xie doesn't do as I say, she will surely die."

There was a coldness in Xie Zhiyan's eyes, and he did not respond. He disdained to waste his words on talking to a fool.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Concubine Wang hurriedly chased after him and asked anxiously, "You don't believe that Jiang Wantang has fallen into my hands?"

Xie Zhiyan did not stop, but he did slow down a bit.

Lady Wang gritted her teeth, her face flushed red, perhaps out of anger or anxiety.

She said sternly, "Xie Zhiyan, don't look down on others."

"If I dare to come to you so openly, I must be prepared."

"Jiang Wantang has been away from the palace for two months. I think it shouldn't be difficult to bribe the palace maids in Changle Palace, right?"

"Besides, she's been busy with Concubine Yu's affairs since she came back. If I did something in Changle Palace beforehand, she wouldn't have time to discover it, right?"

Xie Zhiyan paused, his expression instantly becoming terribly gloomy.

He turned around, staring at her coldly, and spoke each word with a pause, "Even if that's what you said, you should have gone to His Majesty. You've come to the wrong person."

Lady Wang looked at him, covered her mouth and laughed, hitting the snake in the weakest part, each word clearly said: "Thank you, sir, stop pretending..."

"You can't be wrong, I'm looking for you."

"You like that bitch Jiang Wantang, right?"

As she spoke, a cruel look flashed in her eyes: "I have been planning for so long, waiting for this day..."

"I prepared all this specially for you. Are you touched, Master Xie?"

Xie Zhiyan's expression changed slightly, he clenched his fists calmly and ignored her.

Seeing this, Concubine Wang smiled at Xie Zhiyan, her eyes filled with venom and malice: "If I can't have it, I'd rather destroy it so that no one else can have it!"

"Thank you, sir, you hid it so well, but I'm determined to tear off your disguise..."

"I want His Majesty and everyone in the world to know that the dignified Dali Temple Minister and the Imperial Concubine are having an affair."

Concubine Wang showed a smug smile on her face: "The powerful minister and the imperial concubine are colluding...tsk tsk..."

The veins on Xie Zhiyan's forehead bulged out, and his handsome face became more brutal.

He took a step forward and grabbed Lady Wang by the throat: "Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Concubine Wang looked at Xie Zhiyan, her eyes filled with unspeakable pain and hatred: "But Jiang Wantang is in my hands, do you dare?"

"If I die, she won't be able to live."

After the last sentence fell, Xie Zhiyan pushed Concubine Wang away with disgust and said coldly, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

His movements were heavy, without any trace of his usual gentlemanly demeanor.

Lady Wang fell to the ground in a miserable state, bending over and coughing.

She looked up at Xie Zhiyan's unhesitating attitude, her heart filled with a mixture of sadness and resentment.

She wanted to see how far Xie Zhiyan could go for that bitch.

Lady Wang smiled and said to Xie Zhiyan, "Master Xie, I want you to kiss me..."

No matter how well-mannered Xie Zhiyan was, he still laughed out of anger.

"You might as well just kill me." He spoke each word with disgust.

The undisguised disgust from her lover made Lady Wang feel extremely embarrassed.

She remembered how embarrassed she was before she entered the palace and put aside her womanly reserve to go to the Dali Temple to find him.

Xie Zhiyan, since you are so cruel to me, don't blame me.

Since I can't get it, I'll destroy it myself...

Concubine Wang slowly stood up from the ground, sneered, and her eyes were full of viciousness: "In this case, then Master Xie should go to Changle Palace to rescue her personally."

Go to Changle Palace?

The consequences of a powerful official entering the harem are self-evident.

Obviously, a glaring trap was waiting for him.

But Xie Zhiyan had to jump down because his weak spot was in someone's hands.

He can't afford to gamble...

Xie Zhiyan's whole body was filled with coldness. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked towards Changle Palace.

Lady Wang watched him leave and smiled. Her eyes turned red as she smiled. "Xie Zhiyan, you forced me to do this..."

There was dead silence in Changle Palace, without a single palace servant present.

Xie Zhiyan's face darkened and he clenched his fists.

He stood at the gate of Changle Palace, was silent for a moment, and finally walked in.

Xie Zhiyan found Jiang Wantang lying unconscious on the couch in plain clothes in a side hall.

He hurried over, checked her breathing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the door of the side hall was locked from the outside.

There was a strange fragrance in the air...

It's not just in the air, it's also on Jiang Wantang's body.

Xie Zhiyan curled his lips, knowing what the scent was without having to think about it.

He held his breath, walked to the door of the side hall farthest from Jiang Wantang, closed his eyes and meditated to regulate his breathing.

After just a moment, Xie Zhiyan opened his eyes. His eyes were red and bloodshot. His originally deep and clear eyes now seemed to be burning with two flames, revealing torment and struggle.

This aphrodisiac was extremely potent, and since there were no windows in this side hall, the fragrance could not dissipate and became even more intense...

However, the person lying on the bed was the woman he longed for, and she exuded a bewitching fragrance all over her body.

In this cramped and fragrant side hall, Xie Zhiyan clenched his fists tightly, shaking uncontrollably due to extreme repression and restraint. His forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and wet his clothes.

Xie Zhiyan forced himself to stand up...

Soon, Concubine Wang brought a group of concubines headed by Zhao Shujia and Lin Ruoyun to Changle Palace.

She calculated the time. As long as the two of them were in the same room, it would confirm their affair. She didn't want to let anything happen between them.

What she didn't know was that the ordinary incense in the hall had long been replaced with an extremely powerful aphrodisiac...

Concubine Wang claimed that she had seen with her own eyes a man from outside the family breaking into the Imperial Concubine's Changle Palace, and deliberately ran to the Zhaoyang Palace where the concubines gathered to ask for instructions from Zhao Shujia, who was temporarily handling the affairs of the six palaces.

So all the concubines, under the pretext of worrying about the Imperial Concubine, gloated over the misfortune and rushed to Changle Palace to catch the adulterer...
